JOE GILBERT CHOSEN CHIEF
OF SHOSHONES FOR LIFE

The past week has been a big one
among the Shoshone Indians. Some
time ago. Joe Gilbert, the acting
chief, issued a proclamation calling
all the members of the tribe togeth-
er at Austin on August 26th for a
big pow-wow and dance, and they
came in numbers and had a good
time, says the Reese River Reyeille.
Two years ago, Tom Toi Toi, he
reditary chief of the Shoshones,
died, and as his brothers, all old
men, declined the honor with its at
tendant duties, Joe Gilbert was
chosen acting chief and has since
then had charge of the destiny of his
people.
During the progress of this fan
dango there was considerable talk
about the selection of a new chief,
and to settle the matter for good
the head men of the tribe held a
talk and chose Joe as chief for life,
the succession to go to his son when
he lays aside the mantle of authori-
ty.
Bob Gilbert, Jack Wagon and Tim
Hooper. sub-chiefs, went before JUS
tiee Ingham and signed a document
setting forth that Joe Gilbert has
been chosen chief of all the Sho-
shone Indians of Nevada for life.

Pittman Act VIII
Not Be Repealed
II ANY Changes Are Made it VIII Be
TO Re-Enact il ana Broaden
Its Scope

Senator Pittman of Nevada. in an
address before the New York chap
ter of the Mining and Metallurgieal
Society two months ago uttered a
prophecy that it appears may soon
come true concerning the price of
silver He was telling the engineers
something of the Pittman Act, why
il was passed, and the effect. In
concluding his address, Senator
Pittman said:
THE Pittman act will not be re-
pealed. The question is how long
will 1t be operative; 20S,000, 900
ounces of silver were sold under the
bill; 50,000,000 ounces have al
ready been replaced Our country
in 1920 produced 56,000,000 ounc-
es. 1T is estimated that by reason
of the closing down of the copper
mines we will produce only 10000
900 ounces in 1921.
You can estimate how long 1t will
take TO replace the remaining 1885,
100000 ounces. | am satisfied that
this fund will last forever. I am
confident that the price of silver
will go above a dollar, due to the
natural demand of the world. When
the world commences to get on its
feet again, and commences to work
and produce, which will be in the
next year or two, and the price CT
silver goes above 81 an ounce. then
the government will cease TO buy
and that fund will remain available
until some conspiracy forces the
price of silver down below a dollar
in the general market of the world
Then the fund win come into ae-
tion again, helping the producer of
the United States, and also helping
the producer of the world. This act
takes out of the market of the world
one-third of all the silver produced,
and it, therefore has a tendency to
bring the level OF the world market
upto 81 an ounce. l think the law
is going to work so we'll that when
it expires, IL it ever does expire, the
government will re-enaet it, prob
ably with broader scope Our gov
ernment may take the silver of the
world at 81 an ounce aud distribute
1t wherever we deem it to be to our
best interest"

A Proclamation
By The Governor

The increasing and needless de-
struction of our eountry's resources
by preventable fire is a challenge to
our future prosperity. In spite of
our costly experience of ruinous con-
flagrations during the past half-cen-
tury and our present great need of
conservation, the burning up of our
created wealth. with attendant
heavy loss of life, goes on apparent
ly unchecked.
Over $1,416, 100000 of our re-
sources were destroyed by fire in the
FIVE years from 1916 to 1919, inclus-
i've. Excepting for the year of the
San Francisco catastrophe, 1920
witnessed the greatest years loss we
have ever suffered. with a total of
$500, 100000. The losses in our
own state during the above fve-year
period we're s1.277,1 But
greater than this penalty that each
of us pays to earelessness and ignor-
ance is the loss of human lives. APP
proximately $4,000 persons, mostly
women and children, are burned to
death in the United States each year,
and a still larger number are seri-
ously injured.
The prevention of this sinful
waste is unquestionably one of the
high duties of citizenship. It affects
the welfare of each one of us and the
future greatness of America.
Therefore, /. Emmett d. Boyle,
Governor of the State of Nevada, by
the authority in me vested, do desig
nate and proclaim October 8, 1921.

every citizen of this state to take an
active part in making this day and
period of practical value to that end.
trust that the proper public de-
partments. in cooperation with
chambers of commerce and other or
ganizations, may plan such instruc
tive and educational exercises as
shall impress the public mind with
the purpose of this days observance.
ask that our churches, through
their pulpits and Sunday-schools.
shall help TO spread this doctrine of
carefulness. I urge the promotion
in our schools of systematic instruc-
tion in fire prevention, constant OBJ
servance of the ordinary precautions
that safeguard us from fire, and
orderliness in home and community.
Only by a public awakening to the
everpresent fire peril and a knowl-
edge of the means to avert 1t, can
we prevent this calamitous wastage.
May every citizen of our state join
in fixed purpose to make this Octob-
er 9th-fftieth anniversary of the
great Chicago fire-the beginning of
new and better economic era for
our country.

CARGO OF HOME BREW
UNDER LOAD OF HAY

Perhaps some of you who attend
ed the rodeo will remember a hay
wagon which stood out in the field
near where the steers were turned
out for the bulldogging contests,
says the Elko Independent. 1t was
nice, innocent looking, green and
tender load of hay but underneath,
peacefully reposing on the bottom of
the rack lay 15 quarts of home
brew. This was brewed in one of
the many stills not so very far from
town and then brought I'm for con-
sumption by the local Hootch
Hounds, who no doubt, relieved the
owner OF the load at a very nice
profit to him.

California authorities have about

While this exacts no great hard

as neither ship hay out of the coun-
ty, 1t is absolutely unreasonable for
there is no weevil in either of the

The quarantines as established
