That Northeast High School is COM
ing to the front with rush in track
and field athletics was demonstrated
yesterday afternoon on Franklin Field
to the delight of several hundred Red
and Black athletic followers when their
favorites came through with their first
victory in the quadrangular track and
field meet since 1917 and their second
in the history of the meets. Recently
Northeast won the all championships
by point and half from Central
High and yesterdays victory adds new
laurels to the flag uf Northeast.
The students from Seventh street and
Lehigh avenue had one of the most diff =
cult tasks in their history to count the
victory. From the start of the meet
West Philadelphia High was pressing
Northeast for the point leadership. with
Central as a dangerous contender for
both Of the other schools. 1t was not
until the last event of the afternoon
that victory was assured and only after
1Grundman. the Northeast quarter
miller, had made brilliant effort to
come through. The best he could do
was third place in the last ten yards OF
the race and that was sufficient to give
Northeast the victory. Had Grundman
been unable to produce as he did, West
Philadelphia would have been crowned
the champion. for her athletes scored
first and second places in the event and
would have taken third but for the cf-
forts Of Grundman.
Northeast totaled 49Ia points: West

While the honors for winning tn,

BUMPER BARREL IS
LATEST FOR STILLS

On Saturday morning last a force
from the sheriff's office arrived I'M
expectedly at the old Moller dairy, a
short distance east of East Ely, and
caught Perry Kernels in the act of
making moonshine whisky. Perry was
placed under arrest and fifteen gal
Ions of liquor and nine barrels of
mash, some of which was cooking on
the stove, were taken by the sheriff.
The still was of considerable size. and
was connected with bumper bar
REL" which is the latest improvement
in the making of moonshine. This
bumper BARREL" is supposed to ex-
tract the fusil oil from the liquor, or
at least considerable portion of 1t.
hence the product of this particular
mand. The moonshine was made of
good corn and is said to have been of
good quality. The writer was shown
the product of the still by the sheriff
and even given a smell of the stuff
from the several bottles. 1t looked
good and smelled good, but as the
sheriff did not ask us to sample 1t we
cannot state as to its quality. Perry
was given a preliminary examination
on Monday before Judge Mcdonald
and was bound over to the district
court in the sum of $500, which he
has not as yet been able to raise, al
though 1t is said that much stuff had
been sold from his still.
Late Saturday night Sheriff Nichol-
son captured another still which was
being transported from McGill to
Ruth in an auto.-Ely Record.

OIL POSSIBILITIES
ARE ENCOURAGING

One of the bright spots in the dis
trict at the present time is the
strong possibilities of striking oil In
the Illipah district during the spring
or summer of the present year, says
the Ely Record. The Illipah Petro-
leum company is steadily pounding
away and every day adds additional
depth to its we'll. The Consolidated
Illipah has ordered a Standard rig,
which will be on the ground in few
weeks, after which 1t will be equip
ped to go to the deep. The 1llipah
Basin Oil * Gas company has been
reorganized. and is under the man
agement of conservative men. and
will no doubt resume drilling within
the near future. The Illipah Stand
ard OH company, which has just been
incorporated, has secured its permit
from the government and will soon
have a rig on the ground and drill
ing for oil.
The bringing in of gusher at ILL
pah would do much to offset the
present depression throughout the
district, and would doubtless be fol-
lowed by a large investment of capt.
tai in the oil business. The striking
of oil would be of as much importance
to eastern Nevada as the coming of
the railroad the building of the Nc
Gill smelter and the opening up of the
prophyry copper mines. Oil now has
the call for promotion enterprises.
and after one well has been demon
strated a success White Pine county
will have one of the most active
periods in its entire history.

Ten petitions have been filed with

eight of them being for the office of

II was no surprise that two tickets

so keen that II was ioregone con-
clusion that neither side would quit
at this very important time.
1t is now know that meeting of

PLANE PILOTS HAD
THRILLING TRIP

Forced within fifty feet of the
ground. and following the railroad
tracks because of the denseness of
the snow, Pilots Blanchfield and
Eaton just missed collision in the
air on the stretch between Carlin and
Lovelock.
The storm flurries to the east of
Reno are the worst that have been
encountered by the air men of the air
plane mail service during all the
winter. Pilot Eaton said when he ar
rived In Reno at noon yesterday. The
storm was so bad that 1t was impos-
sible to keep any sense of direction
especially as the keen-cutting north
west wind forced his plane toward
the south
Near Carlin the storm was so fierce
that Eaton came down to within fifty
feet of the railroad track and fol-
lowed the tracks as far as Lovelock.
Meanwhile on his way east Blach-
field was caught In as heavy a storm
at Lovelock and he also descended to
within few feet OF the railroad
track, following II east.
Somewhere about half way to Car
lin, Eaton suddenly saw the plane
Blanchfield was directing loom up in
the storm, and only a quick swerye
on the part of both pilots, each of
whom saw the others plane at the
same moment, prevented a crash in
mfd-air
Pilot Levisse left San Francisco in
plane 222 bucking head wind. At
Colfax he ran into so thick a snow
furry that he was compelled to come
within 100 feet of the ground to get
his bearings. Finally finding the
railroad tracks he followed them as
far as Trukee. flying through the
canyon at height OF not more than
100 to $50 feet At Truckee he en-
deayored to get altitude. but found
the air so thick that he flew low
again, found the tracks and came
into Reno with them as a guide.
He was carrying a new pilot to
show him the route. Both were near
ly frozen when they reached Reno

DEATH VALLEY WILL BE
MADE .FOOL PROOF

Death Valley is to be made fool
proof for motorists and others. ac-
cording to plans announced for the
placing of 1900 sign posts within the
next three weeks by the Automobile
Club OF Southern California.
This unique spot of the United
States. lying as it does below sea
level has been more abused than used.
Since Death Valley Scotty" flashed
over the horizon. the popular idea
has been that Funeral Range was a
mass of prospectors' skeletons, that
Furnace creek ran boiling water and
Hell's Hole was a straight jump into
the Internal regions.
While Death Valley is very hot
place to travel in summer. 1t Is rare
scenic spot of great beauty in the
spring time. 1t has been compared
to a trip to Yellowstone National
Park.
Frightened by tales of lost travel
ers and the lack of water In the des-
ert wastes, motorists have feared to
invade this unique domain of borax,
dried lakes and gold mines. This fear
may be banished when the sign post
ing of the Automobile Club is COM
pleted. The water holes have been
marked previously by the govern
ment and the Automobile Club will
designate the roads with iron sign
posts, SO that transcontinental tour
lists in the spring time and early
summer may add his interesting be
low sea level stretch of desert to theii
intinerary.
