| bers home on Sunday. when he
might have been with her. Barbara
Paige?
He was conscienceless flirt?
We'll, If he flattered himself that he
had been making a fool of her she
would convince him that il had
been only a Irritation on her part,
too.
She hated to have him suppose
that she was the kind of girl who
would allow man to kiss her. to
hold her in his arms-just for the
sake of flirting. But she would
rather have him think that-dis-
gusting as it was-than to believe
that he was hurting her, that she
had loved him when he had only
been amusing himself with her.
Yes-she would show him!
How? There was only one way
and that was through John Bran
don
Anyhow. even IL Robert had loved
her, she would have had to dismiss
him from her life. She owed it to
those who had supported her and
cared for her all these years. Her
duty was plain in any case. She
would not put her hand to the plow
and look back.
Her aunt met her in the hall as
S he entered the house.
"Where have you been. Barbara"
she inquired. 81 did not know you
were going out?"
II only meant to go a little way
as far as the corner-but then
went on farther" the girl evaded.
She looked tired, and Cynthia for
bore to question her further. She
would not coerce her in insignifi-
cant matters.
"a box came for you just now"
with a meaning smile. II put 1t in
your room. l thought perhaps you
would rather open it up there. 1t
is from the incest man you know"
GIFT FROM BRANDON.
The box was on the table near
her window, and Barbara closed her
door before removing the string
and cover. 1t was from the fash
ionable florist of Summerfield, and
contained huge bunch of English
violets. The girl buried her face
in their cool fragrance.
"Oh, how sweet they are!" she
whispered. "They actually kill the
scent of the honeysuckle as long
as I hold them very close like this
to my face"
Her own words brought a sud-
den inspiration to her.
II she thought only OF Brandon,
and of his goodness and kind acts,
dangerously sweet and distressing,
she might be able to Danish the
memories Of Robert that rushed in
upon her consciousness so often.
She would try. Oh. yes, she
would! For John Brandon was so
good, and so safe n person. There
was no sign of flirting or of change
ableness in him.
Under the violets in the box was
a note:
"Dear Bab-will you go for a
drive at o'clock this afternoon? 7
know beautiful road on which I
would like to take you-with your
consent.
"But--1 mean this-ify you would
rather not go, say so. Or IL you
would rather have a drive this
evening-by moonlight--I will come
then. Send me line by the mes
senger who will call at noon.
Yours, JOHN BRANDON"
when. the messenger came. Bar
bara handed him n note. 1t was
short:
Dear Mr.. Brandon-I will be
ready at 4 o'clock. am tired Of

"I am going driving with Mr..
Brandon and 4 o'clock she told her
aunt and uncle at luncheon. HE

NEW HOTEL WORK
BEGUN YESTERDAY

Booming of dynamite blasts on the
site of the old FL Dorado hotel and
the new Hotel Humboldt was the
signal for little prayer of thanks
from Winnemucca business men, for
it meant actual work ON the much
needed building had been started
Ever since the FL Dorado burned
down-two years and eleven days
ago-business has been seriously in
jured in Winnemucca because of in
sufficient hotel accommodations for
visitors. Many have set the gross
business loss to merchants at thou
sands of dollars per day. The burn
ing of the Lafayette hotel made mat
ters still worse until now only a small
number of business visitors are en-
abled to remain here over night, most
commercial travellers having long ago
established the practice of arranging
to make" Winnemucca between
trains. Who is to have the manage
ment of the new hotel has not been
announced.

FOUR NEW CITIZENS
FOR UNITED STATES

Four aliens were made citizens in
the district court this morning. They
are: Frank Gabica of Rebel Greek,
Feliciano Bernardo of McDermitt,
Gactano Costa of Winnemucca, and
Martin Antoine Bellon of Paradise
Valley. The first three were admitted
by reason of their having served in
ne United States army overseas, and
they were not required to pass the
same examination which is usually
given applicants for citizenship. Ga
bica and Bernardo are natives OF
Spain, Costa of Italy and Bellon of
France.
Jose Joaquin Fagundes. a resident
of Golconda and a native of the
Flores Islands, was an applicant, but
il developed that his father had been
naturalized before he became of age
so he was directed to secure certi-
fed copy of his fathers naturaliza-
ton certificate.
The application of Bertrand Iri-
goin a resident of Panther Greek and
a native of Spain. was postponed till
next September.
Dorotea Lasa of McDermitt, a ma
tive of Spain, was an applicant, but
was unable to be present, being sick
Leon G. Roche, native of France
was not present. He is out in the
hills with sheep.
Emil G.. Stank's application was
again postponed. He is a native Of
Germany and cannot be admitted un-
til the treaty of peace has been
signed. Stank is a resident of Love
lock, and his application has been
pending for the past two years OF
more.
The examination was conducted by
Examiner G.. A. Ball, before Judge
Callahan.
Mr. Ball departed on No. this af-
ternoon for Lovelock, where he has
class of about dozen for examina-
tion tomorrow. Judge Callahan will
go down this evening on No. 49,

W0RKMEN BARREL
|[[|PAH OIL SEEPAGE

j. f. Amenda, president of the Illi-
pah Oil Company, returned to Winnie
mucca today after a trip around the
state. He has again taken up head
quarters here. Amenda is more en-
thusiastic than ever concerning the
prospects for oil at Illipah, saying the
drill is down 400 feet and working in
lime formation rotten with OIL
Two pools of oil have been uncovered
at Illipah according to Amenda, from
which workmen recovered six barrels
from one and half a barrel fibm the
other. A bottle of this oil is now on
the way to Winnemucca for display.
Concerning Illipah operations the
Ely Record this week says:
Reports from Illipah are most en-
couraging and the progress being
made is most satisfactory to the man
agement. The latest good news is that
brought in by Ira MacFarland, field
superintendent of the Illipah Basin
Oil & Gas Company. Mr.. MacFar-
land when asked in regard to the
property had the following to say:
"The drill, which is now down to
a depth of $50 feet, is making good
progress and everything running
smoothly. 1t is in highly carbon.
aceous lime. laminated with lime
shale and sufficiently pregnated with
oil to show plainly on the water
whenever the bailer is dumped.
"Of course, we do not expect tc
get commercial oil in lime, but its
presence in the formation is quite
encouraging.
This character of lime, while il
is not particularly hard, is of a rub
berry texture owing to its hydrocar-
bon content, and for this reason the
drilling is much slower than it would
be if it was more favorable or brittle

CITY COUNC|LMEN
AFTER CAMP SITE

The meeting of the city council last
night was a regular love-fest for the
betterment of Winnemucca. The
mayor, Councilmen Sites and Akin
and City Clerk Fannie Harp were in
attendance, Councilman Hoskins be-
ing absent.
A committee from the Winnemucca
City Band was present to ask the
council to donate $50 monthly toward
the support of the band and to pay a
leader. If possible, the committee
men thought, bandstand to be built
by the city and located on the lot next
to the Nixon at Third and Melarkey
streets, would fill long-felt need.
The councilmen assumed favorable
attitude toward the proposition and If
they finally decide to assist the band,
on stipulation that concerts be given
at least once a week, provision for
the expenditure will be made in the
Forthcoming budget, to be settled be-
fore April Is.
City Engineer Tilden was on hand
to explain a protest from the Hill
estate after notification of opening an
alley beside the estates property
from Baud to Reinhart street The
protest was that the old town map
provided for no alley and that If the
city opened said alley it would be TAX
ing for public use land upon which
taxes had been paid for many years.
Tilden's opinion was that an alley
had been provided for and that the
fence surrounding the Hill property
extended beyond the proper lines. He
was ordered to measure up to make
sure and report later.
1t was reported during the meeting
that two women and one man had
fallen into depressions in the streets
caused by the settling of earth used
to fill in the new Waterman trenches.
The city clerk was instructed to con-
vey the information TO the Winnie
mucca Water & Light Company that
the council desires the streets, dam
aged by the trench-digging, repaired
forthwith"
An old thorn in the side of the
councilmen in the person OF one
Puyser. representing the Brown
Amusement Company, the carnival
outfit which played this city last year
popped up aagin last night, but this
time by letter. Puyser wanted re
duction in the license rate for his
shows. so that when the nickle-
catchers pass through here this year
they can stop without turning over
all of the profits to Mr.. Moore
Puyser's experience will prove les
son in the advantage of leaving
good impression. Last year he ap-
peared personally before the council
to secure a low license rate, first
through schemes for evasion of the
ordinance, next by threat and last by
sarcasm and personal abuse, winding
up by paying the full license under
protest" Now he's at IL again and II
took the councilmen about one minute
last night to instruct Clerk Harp to
notify Puyser the ordinance had not
been changed and il he wanted to
show here he'd have to pay in full
Fire Chief Gillian was on hand to
talk about a lot of things. He had
occasion to send some hose away for
repairs last week and thereby brought
out the fact, not generally known
that railroad companies carry fire
