INLAY, New, March 22.-Upon the
complaint of waitress ct the South

cook was arrested Friday. He was
tried before the Justice of the Peace.
DR.. J. f. Beale, and found guilty of

impossible for her to turn farther to

PARENTS DECIDED
GYM TO Be BUILT

1t was decided at the meeting last
night Of the parents of the grammar
school pupils to add gymnasium to
the building now being used as a
court house. 1t is probably that an
addition will be built at the rear, for
the double purpose OF a gymnasium
and use as a class room for some of
the crowded classes. There was some
hope of building this last year. but
the money was not available. 1t is
estimated that $4,000 will be required
1t is understood that half this amount
is now on hand, available for the pur-
pose. and that an estimate of s2500
was given the county commissioners
as needed to finish the scheme, and
that this latter sum was included in
the county general budget adopted at
the March meeting.

before that body can properly func-
tion, delay may occur which will dis
courage Sewers or permit other cities
to secure the prize, if such it should
turn out to be.
Why not handle the matter as is
done in progressive cities in other
states? For instance, most Chambers
of Commerce appoint a committee to
look into such propositions. These
committees are firm in their determi-
nation to look into a mans life his
tory, learn of his successes and fail
ures, and don't hesitate to tell him to
produce provable data. In technical
matters they employ competent men
to look into the feasibility of the
plan. Then they fatty accept or re-
ject, and if they accept there is gen.
orally no difficulty in securing capi-
tai In the meantime all money Sc
cured by stock sales is put in a bank
by the committee, the promoter only
allowed the usual promotion percent
age for expenses. Ii the deal goes
through all is well; if not, the money
returned to investors. A usual plan,
also, is to present the new enterprise
with a building site. generally by the
man on whose property it is to be
erected, because of increased value
of the balance of his land.
Well all go for oil or mining stock
if it's far away, but anything which
may benefit all of Winnemucca for
years to come is downed before a
hearing can be had.
Let's get some action, so that if
Winnamucca does lose the plant out
siders cannot say it was because we
are too dead to move around.

ILLIPAH OIL FIELD CENTER OF
INTEREST TO EXPERT OIL MEN

J. Z. Amenda, president of the Illi-
pah Basin Oil & Gas Company, who
is making his headquarters in this
city, has received word that James j =.
Wheeling, expert oil man who repre-
sents many oil interests in Louisiana,
Oklahoma and Kansas, inspected the
Illipah oil field, where active drilling
operations are now in progress.
Wheeling had to say after his inves-
tigation:
II am astonished to find such a per-
feet organization, in a new and un-
developed field in Nevada. The spirit
of confidence in this enterprise is
wonderful and as to the field I find it
an ideal oil field There being gas
pressure encountered at 400 feet and
the high grade of oil which is seeping
in the hole is conclusive proof of a
large bed of oil under the basin, and
in my opinion the Illipah company
has an even chance for big gusher
at about 1900 feet"
He also said the company is well
financed, and each branch of the op-
erations seemed to be in the hands of
a capable man.

WHAT IS W|NNEMUCCA GOING TO Do ABOUT
TUNGSTEN REDUCTION PLANT AND PAYROLL
THREE AFTER DECIDE WHETHER
PROPOSITION NOT AND WE WANT III GO AFTER
1T; INACTIVITY is DANGEROUS AND DELIGHT KNOCKER

The time has come for show down
and some plain talk on the best in
terests of Winnemucca and Humboldt
county.
Two weeks ago a man named
Sewers opened an Office in Winnie
mucca and announced his intention of
Incorporating the Silver State Chemi-
cal Company and to build a $4,000
plant for the manufacture of tungsten
products, and that stock-selling
campaign would be inaugurated.
During the last few days many men
have talked to the writer about the
proposed plan, some favorable, most
neutral and the usual "knockers.' .
One man thought Winnemucca should
back the proposition, win or lose, just
to get advertised as boosters. He
thought If there's any chance of Sc
curing another payroll for this city
the effort should be made.
1t is known that W. A. Simmerman.
private banker of Elko and a straight
out business man, came here yester-
day from that city to investigate
Sewers plans and inventions. II is
also known that he came here as a
representative of Elko business llen
and that if investigation shows the
proposition is satisfactory, effort is to
be made to build the plant at Elko,
the boosters there agreeing to raise
the necessary capital within ten days
after papers are signed.
Sewers says men from Fallon and
Lovelock have made similar PROPOSE
tions for the plant, but he wants it
erected here because. he says, Winnie
mucca is the logical location. He ex-
plains he must have sulphur from the
mines on the Western Pacific west of
this city, tungsten from mines on the
Southern Pacific west of here, and
salt from the Carson Sink, also west
on the Southern Pacific. This city
being favored with both transconti-
mental railroads, makes rapid ship
ment possible of both product and
raw materials All of which seems
reasonable. To erect the plant at Fall
lon, Lovelock or Elko means longer
freight hauls and consequent in
creased operating expense during the
life of the plant
On the other hand, Sewers comes
here practically a stranger and wants
to sell stock-a matter always pro-
ductive of distrust. So far it is not
known that he has made an effort to
prove past business success or even
a practical knowledge OF the business
he plans on. True, he talks in large
words that are known to chemists,
but the men he wants to sell stock
to do not understand the words nor
the practicability of his plans. Amaz-
ing stories of big monetary returns
on small Investment have further in
creased timidity. whether spread by
Sewers or not.
This newspaper does not desire to
be shown in the light of putting a
stamp of approval or distrust on the
proposition. We say the matter
should be handled in business-like
way. 1t should properly come before
the newly-organized Chamber of
Commerce. but because there is so
