TAKEN FROM THE FILES
OF THE SILVER STATE
TEN YEARS AGO

who recently homesteaded 800 acres
of land adjoining the Buffalo ranch
on the Willow Point-National road
is in this city today and states that
he is contemplating the erection OF
a hotel and saloon on that road at a
point about twenty-three miles from
Willow Point and thirty-four miles
from National.
Sulphur is in the grip of a renewed
activity and the country has been
staked for a radius of approximately
three by five miles around the West
ern Pacific station. At the present
time the population number about loo
people. The townsite has been laid
out and approved by the authorities
The flood condition here continues
to cause much anxiety and the water
has now reached the Winnemucca
hotel. Although the main structure
is in no imminent danger several out
houses may be washed away.

THE LEyIATHAN
NEARLY LOST

1t appears that agents of the syndi-
cate that sought to purchase the for
mer German ships were already on
the Leviathan, formerly the v~aterland,
and had hoisted their house flag over
her as a sign of ownership when the
supreme court of the District of Co
lumbia enjoined the sale. From all
the facts of the transaction that have
so far come to light it looks as
though the proposed sale was nothing
less than a t%heacherous surrender to
England, at a fraction of their worth
Of some of the best ships in the world
a loss that would seriously cripple
our merchant marine and correspond
ingly enhance the sea strength of our
greatest rival.
