FIRE WARNINGS
FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Fire Chief Asbury Issues Warnings
Against Bad Holiday Practices
In Hope That Disaster
May Be Averted

To the Public: Your attention is
hereby respectfully called to the in
PRODUCTION about premises Of Christ
mas greens, Christmas candles, har-
vest specimens, moving picture ex-
hibits, and other infammable mate
rials, such as cotton to represent
snow.
In addition to the danger to prop
erty from displays referred to, the
danger to life in crowded stores or
places of meeting by reason of a
panic occasioned by a fire, even
though it be small and easily con-
trolled, is SO great the firemen, who
have made study of such hazards,
would be only partly fulfilling their
duty should they fail to give warn
ing.
Do not decorate your Christmas
tree with paper, cotton or any other
inflammable material. Use metallic
tinsel and other non-inflammable
decorations only, and set the tree
securely so that children, or others,
ranching for things, cannot tip it
over.
Do not use cotton to represent
snow. Asbestos fibre or powdered
mica are good substitutes.
Do not use candles. The records
show many lives are lost because of
their use. Electric lighting systems,
properly installed. avoid this danger
Do not allow trees to remain in
side of buildings after the holidays.
The tree itself ignites readily when
the needles have become dry.
Do not permit any sort of dec
orations in close proximity to a
stoye.
These suggestions are made with
the hope that this Christmas may
pass leaving no aftermath Of regret.

HUMBOLDT RIGHTS
NEARLY ADJUSTED
Hopes Entertained That Courts May
Pass on Issues Raised Early
Next Month and Thus
Clarity Situation

December 10 has been set as the
time for the hearing of Humboldt
river water rights involving the
privileges of the Ellison Ranching
Company. Battle Mountain has been
designated as the point where the
parties interested will gather and
discuss the several phases of the
question.
County Surveyor R. E. Tilden has
been advised, as a representative of
the ranching company, of the time
and place for the hearing by the
state engineers Office, which will
also be represented.
It is said that five other land own
ers claiming rights along the Hum
boldt will have their cases settled
at the hearing, in addition to the
Ellison Ranching Company, and that
but two other cases will remain un-
determined. With the completion
of these by the state engineer the
adjudication of Humboldt river
rights will have been completed.
1t is expected that the full adju-
dication will be effected in time for
the matter to find its way into court
shortly after the first of the new
year, when final determinations may
be made.

WINNEMUCCA
SUFFERED PAINFUL HURTS
WHEN AUTO TURNED OVER

James Edmunds and Ed Gran
quist are nursing painful hurts sus-
tanned yesterday when their auto
mobile turned turtle and brought
different parts of their anatomies
into sudden, forcible and unwilling
contact with hard and inanimate
metal, wood and Mother Earth.
Most of the bruises and contu-
sions suffered by each appear to be
on their physiognomies and first aid
resulted in a general and wholesale
decoration of their features, with
the result that their best friends
have to look upon them the second
time before recognition occurs.
The car belonging to the men was
damaged, but can be repaired, it is
asserted.
The accident occurred when Mr..
Granquist swerved his car to one
side to avoid coming into contact
with another car which was ap-
preaching at a rapid rate. Both
men consider themselves fortunate
that superficial injuries were suf-
fered rather than more serious in
Fiction, as they consider that they
passed through a distinct danger
zone.

JAKE ALLEN WAS
GOOD ENTERTAINER
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOLK
WHO TURNED OUT TO THE
WEDNESDAY LUNCH WERE
ACCORDED A VERY RARE
TREAT BY GIFTED MAN
Told How Communities Reflect the
Ideals of the People Making
Up Their Population and
Condemned Backbiting

It will probably be long time
before Winnemuccans will be ac-
corded the treat that was available
at yesterdays Chamber of Com
merce luncheon when Jack Allen, of
the American City Bureau of San
Francisco, delighted and enthralled
about forty men Of the city with
his rare wit and pathos. Coming
here highly praised by those who
had previously heard him, for his
splendid forensic qualities, Mr.. Allen
proved to be an and more than his
warmest partisans claimed. He told
stories in a manner that precludes
imitation and through his talk, last
ing about one hour, he carried the
argument for community advance
ment.
Unlike the average speaker who
comes to the small community, Mr..
Allen cited no faults in local COM
pertinent, nor did he find error in
any of the many attributes of the
cummunity. But he did hammer
necessarily on the theme that ad-
vancement comes only from con-
certed, congenial action, and left no
room for doubt in the minds Of
those who listened to him that the
most is made of opportunity through
close cooperation. Organized
Ideals" Mr.. Allen calls the great
prerequisite to community success
and the sheer novelty Of the term
secured for him the attention Of
those present. As he talked on his
favorite subject he unfolded ver-
bal panorama that was at once a
delight, and sixty golden moments
went by unrecorded
Allen is a veteran of the world
war and saw overseas service. His

G00DSPR|NGs SAYS
We HAVE PLATINUM
PLATINUM LOCATORS SENT
ROCK TO SOUTHERN NEVADA
AND HAD TESTS MADE BY
EXPERT WHO DEVELOPED
STATES PLATINUM MINE


Samples of rock from Platinum
were sent recently to the Boss mines
laboratories at Goodsprings, in the
southern part of the state, together
with a request for assaying for
platinum values, and returns were
had from these yesterday carrying
the good news that platinum values
in paying quantities We're contained.
Due to the fact that the Boss Mines
laboratory authorities are not in
the commercial assaying business,
no figures were cited showing the
exact amount of platinum values,
according to the reports reaching
The Silver State.
The news is considered as further
and altogether satisfactory confirm
alton of the existence of platinum
in the several lodes uncovered in
Platinum district, and locators con-
tinue to come into the district as a
result of the activities that are un-
der way.
The Silver State Chemical Com
pany is making assay runs daily on
rock submitted from Platinum and
those putting forward the samples
are made happy by the anIcunce-
bent of platinum values in greater
or lesser sums.
1t is asserted that the shallow
shaft on the W-B-H claim is to be
sunk to sufficient depth to allow
of more definite determinations as
to the character Of the dyke from
which the assay tests have been
largely made up to the present time,
the idea being entertained that a
formation may be encountered that
will continue to carry high values
in platinum and will count uni
formity of character.

last throughout long time to come.
His rollicking joviality removed the
impression that the crowd was being
"lectured." But being lectured they
were beyond a question Of doubt.
Indeed, Allen hammered them, and
cuffed them, and literally trod them
underfoot, but only after he had, in
the most adroit way, lulled them
into a semi-conscious state with the
anaesthesia Of a superb vocabulary.
1t thus happens that there are few
who attended the luncheon yester-
day who would admit in this sober
moment that they had listened to a
rebuke.
So we say in all earnestness that
Mr.. Allen was amazingly clever be-
cause he encompassed his purpose,
left his message, and got out of
town before our townspeople awoke
to the fact that he had delivered a
structure on local failure to stand
together, for that's exactly what he
did. And as we grasp further for
the threads that he scattered broad
cast and thrust into our understand
ing, we will finally know that Mr..
Allen is right; that communities adj
vance only through wholesome stim-
uli and that this stimuli can only
come from "Organized Ideals"
Among Mr.. Aliens pertinent
statements were the following:
"Guns didn't win the war, or
men, or food, but it was the esprit
de corps, or morale, that finally tri-
umphed over the great German war
machine"
Like the allied soldiers, the
