GOLDFIELD TO LOSE
ITS FAMOUS HOSTELRY

1t was stated in Tonopah Saturday
that a notice had been posted in the
Goldfield hotel that May LIST would
witness the closing Of the famous
hostelry-a land mark of the desert.
This. in effect. meal that the deal
for the purchase of the property has
fallen through.
Goldfield, without the Goldfeld ho-
tel, will suffer irreparable damage.

cost of something like $750.000 and

OvERALLS AND CART.
RIDGE CLOTH GARMENTS

According to q movement which
appears to have made great Roadway.
especially in the Eastern States, and
to have gained recruits in very large
numbers, the popular and universal
garments for men and boys will be
overalls. The reaction from the de-
mand for garments made from the
high-priced fabrics-high-priced be
cause the people demand certain
grades and submitted meekly to the
exorbitant prices named by the prof.
iteers-is bound to come. w. G.
MacAdoo a couple of years ago pre-
dicted that "half-soled" trousers
would soon be in fashion. Now con-
ditions have reached a point where II
will be a comparatively easy matter
for men to don blue denims or khaki
without losing caste or feeling that
that they-some of them-are lower
ing themselves in the estimation Of
their fellow creatures. They'll prob
ably enjoy themselves every bit as
much as when wearing hundred dol
lar wool outfits, and be able to laugh
at the fellow who is too weak to take
a stand against the tendency of the
iHtCf cbtS ina arc Out " oOdh tnC
people to the last penny that they
will give up.
And right in line with the overall
wearing movement by men and boys
Is the announcement from Washing
ton, d. c.. that cartridge cloth, which
was intended for castings for smoke

Is now being used for almost every
conceivable purpose in women's and
mems clothes. According to a story
carried by a daily of the Nations cap
ital, society and hosts of working men
and women turned out en- masse q
few days ago to view the exhibition
Of cartridge cloth wearing apparel
staged by the war department in one
of the hotels where thirty models,
including several exceptionally at
tractive young women, paraded in re-
gal fashion about the room clad in
garments which looked as IL they had
just arrived from Paris. Evening
gowns, dresses patterned after styles
Of various countries, bathing suits,
children's clothes. and mems suits,
all made of cartridge cloth, were dis
played to show the possibilities of
utilization Of this particular kind of
fabric. II adopted to any great ex-
tent the overall and cartridge cloth

ISSUE BULLETIN
OF STREAM FLOW

A bulletin of the seasonal now
survey and forecast of stream flow
conducted jointly by the States of
California and Nevada for April 1,
1920, has been issued. ]. H. Church
Jr. is in charge of this cooperative
yurvey for Nevada. That part of the
bulletin which relates to the Hum
boldtBasin Is as follows:
1.-The courses in the Humboldt
Basin are very new, having been es-
tablished by the U. S. weather bu-
reau in cooperation with the U. s.
forest service In April, 1919. Some
melting had already occurred before
the original measurements could be
made and the stream flow of the
Humboldt river during the following
months has not yet been announced.
Consequently, ever a provisional nor
NAL is unavailable. Furthermore,
during the present season, reports
from the snow survey ear Tusca-
rora have not yet been received.
However, on the assumption that
the melting in the Humboldt Basin
last season before the survey was
made was three inches of water, the
snow cover the present season in the
eastern end of the basin is only rs
per cent of that of last season, and
in the Little Humboldt smaller still.
On the other hand. the loss of rs per
cent in stream flow that probably oc-
Cured last season because Of the gen.
eral lack of precipitation during
April to June should not occur this
year. On this basis, the flow of the
Humboldt the present season should
be equal to that of last season, e
cept in the case of the Little Hum
boldt, where the flow may prove to be
somewhat less.
However the courses throughout
the Humboldt Basin r still too few
and the records too short to afford
definite conclusion"
Pending a final survey and fore
cast to be made May /, it is esti-
mated that the probable stream flow
of the Humboldt Basin will be the
same as last year.
Details, such as normal and prob
able flow in acre feet, will be given in
the final bulletin.
Owing to the low temperatures
that have prevailed, the run-off IL
slow this year in starting. but this
fact is favorable for agriculture fol
1t means more water for second ir'
rigation.
