PLATINUM TESTS
PROVED CORRECT
THREE RUNS MADE THIS EVEN
ING WHICH SHOW PLATINUM
VALUES UNIFORMLY AND
EVIDENCE is ACCEPTED AS
COMPLETE CORRoBORATIoN
Values of Metal Disclosed This
Evening Come in More Modest
Sums, But Are Considered
Genuine Nevertheless

If the subject of platinum con-
tinues for long in this city it will
come to be platitudinous. This is
the conclusion reached by local
minds after days of red-hot discus
sion. Whether the strike near Ten
Mile, which created such a furor on
last Tuesday and throughout sue
ceeding days and disturbed the
peace and quietude of this city,
really concerns platinum is un-
doubted. Three tests made by the
Silver State Chemical Company this
evening were uniformly confirma-
tory of the first announcement in
that platinum values were disclosed
without exception. The highest re-
turn from the samples showed plati-
mum values of $1,000. The other
samples showed lesser amounts of
the mineral.
1t is said by other Winnemucca
assayers who made tests coincident
with those made by the Silver State
Chemical on last Tuesday, in which
returns of as high as $4O03.0O were
secured, that notwithstanding
their negative tests, platinum may
exist in the ores from what is
known as the Obj. claim near
Ten Mile. The failure to get the
platinum value is ascribed to the
samples of rock submitted and must
not be taken to mean that the bona
fideness of the strike is disputed.
The fact that this evenings as
say runs are corroborative of the
first announcements made of the
strike in The Silver State will bring
general satisfaction to local minds
to which the significance attaching
to discovery of this kind is not
lost.

CHARLES PEDROLI ESTATE
is MADE BASIS OF SUIT

Mary E. Cooney and julius Pc
droli, through their attorney, Thos.
A. Brandon, filed a suit in the dis
trict court this morning asking for
certain orders involving the estate
of the late Charles Pedroli, who
died intestate and left property
holdings that were appraised at
about $4,000.
The suit runs against Louise Pc
droli both as the Administrative of
the dead mans estate and as an
individual, and the complaint al
leges among other things that the
property involved was handled by
the deceased as the agent of the
plaintiffs to the action. The court
is asked to issue an order designat-
ing the property rights of the two
plaintiffs and the defendant as
share and share alike, and that the
costs of the suit instituted shall be
met from the assets of the estate.

ORGANIZED FARM BUREAU
IN LOVELOCK DISTRICT

County Agent j. w. Wilson re-
turned Thursday from a stay of
several days duration in the Love-
lock district. On the day previous
he perfected an organization Of the
farm bureau at Lovelock. This
starts off very auspiciously, the
membership being 156 and repre-
senting every neighborhood in the
lower reaches of the Humboldt
valley.
1t is Mr.. Wilson's belief that the
new organization is to become very
shortly one of the potent agencies
of Pershing county and that it will
take rank in Importance with other
contingents which are aiding in the
advancement of material things on
the lower Humboldt.

YOUNG SOLDIER TIRES
OF CIVILIAN LIFE

Merritt w. Boyer, a youth who
said he is a member of the ONO,
Motor Cycle Corps, at Camp Lewis,
Washington, turned in at the county
Jail this morning and asked that his
commanding officer be notified of
his willingness and anxiety to re-
turn to his command.
The boy left Camp Lewis on the
10th day of this month, he said, and
pursued his way to California to see
relatives. Extending his wander
ings to Nevada, he tired when he
reached this city and formed the
conclusion to return to Camp Lewis.
A new army order deals more
literally with soldiers who absent
themselves from their post without
due authority and Boyer is of the
mind that he would rather take his
punishment and resume his soldier
activities than be stigmatized as a
deserter throughout the years to
come.
The Humboldt county officials
have heretofore been called upon to
act in cases similar to Boyer's and
soldiers who turn in are accorded
the right to get on the train and go
unaccompaneid to the nearest mill
tary post, which in the case of Win
nemucca is the Preside of San
Francisco, California.

RED CROSS ROLL
CALL APPEALS
WINNEMUCcA is LAGCINC BE-

ROLL CALL DRIVE AND AP-
PEAL is MADE FOR AWAKEN
ING OF INTEREST IN THE
CAUSE REPRESENTED
Outside Districts Do Well and II
Remains for This Community
To Make Good the Neces-
sary Membership

The Fifth Red Cross Roll Call
finds state of apathy in the minds
of the public which is disconcerting
to those who give unstintedly of
their time and money in the work
of rendering aid to the sick and
needy. Not only does the Red Cross
extend this aid to the gallant ex-
soldiers, but the activities of the
organization is extended to include
deserving instances in the general
population of all American COM
munities.
The Fifth Roll Call will close on
next Wednesday evening. At the
present time the disparity between
the responses of this and last year
are emphatic. As the statement of
finances included in this article
shows, the Roll Call of one year ago
resulted in raising 5000 within this
county in membership outlay. The
figures for this year tend to show
lapse of interest and appreciation
of the splendid work performed by
the local chapter during the present
year.
Up to the present period, bearing
in mind that the Roll Call is about
to be terminated, Humboldt county
has enrolled but a fractional part
of its quota of 750. Only a prompt
recognition of the aims of the Red
Cross will result in the fulfllment
of the quota laid down as a mark
for the chapter here to work to.
Reports received by local officers
this morning from other districts in
the county give the enrolment as
follows:
Paradise, by Irwin Case, 45 mem
bers.
Golconda, by George Balm, SO
members.
Sulphur, by Mrs. A. j. Crowley.
40 members.
Orovada, by Mrs. |. J. Stude-
baker, five members.
Jungo, by Geo. B. Austin, no
report.
1t must seem that if Winnemucca
does as well by the Red Cross cause
as certain others of the county's
communities it will not be hard to
reach the quota.
People generally must recognize
that failure to support the local
chapter at this time will mean an
annulment of certain of the char
liable activities of the organization
and the circumscription of others
through lack of funds.
Although it is not time for the
yearly audit of the books of the To-
cal chapter, the following is state
ment made public in order that peo-
pie may know the local Red Cross
chapter has been called upon to do
much work during the past year:

ABOUT THE SWEET
POTATO CROP IN S. c.

Columbia, Oct. 10.--If the managers
Of the Sweet Potato Curing Houses in
South Carolina will heed the advice
given by the South Carolina Develop
ment Board to disinfect the storage
houses before filling them with the
new crop, the losses from the social
cd Storage Rots will be greatly re-
duced if not entirely eliminated.
From present indications the sweet
potato crop in South Carolina that
will be cured this year will be a COM
paratively small one, and this calls
Tor saving every potato which will
Sweets are favorites in Southern
Markets, and IN Cities in the North
where they have been tried In the
event of high prices the curing houses
which have insured their houses
against Storage Rots-for disinfec-
ton means insurancc-will reap a
rich reward.
The United States Department of
Agriculture in Farmers Bulletin No.
1859 gives the following directions:
In the fall, just before the sweet
potatoes arc put in storage, the stor-
age house or cellar should be disin-
fected thoroughly, in order to get rid
or the numerous storage-rot germs
left there from the previous crop. Any
one of several efficacious methods
may be employed. The house may be
sprayed with a solution made by dis
solving one pound of copper sulphatc
IN rs gallons of water or with a solu-
tion of formaldchyde made by mixing
one pint of formalin (4O per cent) in
~ gallons of water. In about "a
hours the house should be sprayed a
second time. Similar results may be
obtained by whitcwashing the storage
house or cellar, or, better yet, by max
ing up a barrel of winter strength
limc-sulplur solution, IS pounds of
sulphur boiled until dissolved with
Z IL pounds of stone lime and then

"FREEDOM IN RELIGION"

Detroit, Oct 10.-Warning against
excess imagination in religion, Rev.
Abraham r. Rihbany, of Boston told
delegates attending the general con-
ference of Unitarian churches here to
day that "frcedom in religion, as in
anything else, is costly jewell" and
that those who would possess it must
not shrink from paying the heavy
toll"
Speaking on "Thc Significance of
Jesus, in Liberal Thought, Rev. Rih-
bany explained the Unitarian churches
conception Of Christ and of His teach
ings.
"If orthodoxy has the man who is
all memory and no imagination, we
have the liberal who is all magma
tion and no memory" he said. "If
orthodoxy has the mossback we have
the rolling stone and of the two OBJ
jccts the rolling stone is most desc
late. He is bare and bruised"
In urging the delegates to accept
the spiritual leadership of Christ, the
speaker said:
"The very logic of the case makes
absurd any attempt to preach the
spiritual message of the New Tcsta-
mcnt without acknowledging the lead
