in cool, heroic set of men attacking
the fire at correct places. Opinion

wonderful piece of work. insufficient

the rear of the soft drink parlor when
giant caps left in shed there by a

the caps were shot into Oliverius' left

pieces of tin were later taken out of

the accident, how really stable a plane
is in the air when skillfully manoeuv-

The field dedicating ceremonies
scheduled for tomorrow afternoon
have been postponed by Mayor Bran

make a demonstration flight to Nc

can easily be accomplished by passage

Yesterday was a day of thrills and
emotions for Winnemucca people, be-
ginning with the arrival of the Skyline
"Flyabout" airplan. at 11:15 a m,
which had been heralded and was
looked for. until 7:30 pm, when the
days pleasure was marred by an ac-
cident which occurred to young Louis
Pearce and Will Nelson, high school
flight with the last of three planes to
arrive, the long expected Clevenger
airplane. which was piloted by Frank
lin Rose.
1t was the second flight which Rose
attempted. On his first il was seen
that he had considerable difficulty
both in taking off and alighting. but
he finally managed to get into the
air and gave a nice ride to his pas
sengers.
But on his next flight, the wind had
shifted and he took off in the opposite
direction. toward the northwest. His
plane was seen TO taxi long distance
on the ground, as though he was ex-
periencing difficulty in getting into
the air. However, he finally left the
ground. but on attaining an altitude
of perhaps fifteen or twenty feet, he
seemed to lose his flying speed. where
upon the right wing settled and the
machine went into spin and nosed
into the sagebrush,
When assistance finally reached

seriously injured, having sustained a

MONEY TO Be RAISED
FOR WATER DECISION

Following the conference held by
State Engineer Scrugham with water
users along the Humboldt river, when
it developed that some $4,000 would
be necessary to carry out the work of
adjudication and straighten out titles
and flows, word has been received that
the money will be raised, says the
Reno Gazette.
Lovelock interests, Winnemucca
land and water users and others along
the line of the Humboldt have prac-
tically agreed that the money will be
available.
Colonel Scrugham has stated this
money is necessary at this time ,as
without clear titles there will be no
government aid, and with clear titles
there seems every possibility of sew
eral projects going through on the
Humboldt.
The money promised is to be ex-
pended in employing assistant en-
gineers. At the present time but one
man is available, owing to the short
age of state appropriation. With half
a dozen or more men in the field it is
anticipated that all of the data neces-
sary will be available this winter
The matter is to be finally deter
mined during the next few days.
Colonel Scrugham expects to be able
to take up the questions involved al
most immediately,
