TWO GIRLS HIKING
ACROSS CONTINENT

After stopping over in this city
and resting up over night at one of
the rooming houses here. Miss Evel-
yne Powers, aged 19 and Miss Ger
trnde Hubbard, aged 81. both hiking
from Portland, Oregon, to Milwaukee,
continued their journey as far as Col
conda this afternoon.
The two girls, who are cousins,
started on their long hike on June
II. and have covered the distance
from Portland to Los Angeles and
then back to San Francisco, thence
to Reno and here. They expect to ar
rive in the east about the first of
September, and will enter the Uni
versity at Madison, Wisconsin, this
fall. The total mileage to be COW
cred is 4087 miles, and approximately
ten miles each day Is covered in
hiking. A great deal of the way. how
ever. Is covered in cars which pick
them up en- route from one city to
another. bringing the average dis
tance covered to between so and rs
miles per day They carry their own
blankets and grub, replenishing the
latter at towns along the way. They
state that when possible they stop at
hotels about every fifth or sixth
night. In order to rest up.
En- route to Wisconsin they are
advertising the 1925 Highways and
Electrical Exposition to be held In
Portland on that date. and are also
corresponding for the Portland Ore
gonian. distributing literature on the
way. Each girl carries a 20-pound
knapsack which bears a large 1925"
Kodak pictures of places of interest
to large Portland photo firm. They
are also keeping "a diary and scrap
book.
The girls state that they are TAX
ing the trip merely as a vacation,
and are making easy work of 1t, ac-
cepting rides whenever offered, but
SO far have not tackled riding trains.
They are accompanied by their bull
dog. Pat, who so far seems to feel the
heat and trip more than his owners
Sheriff Brady and Deputy Revenue
Collector Frank B. Evans gave the
hikers a lift as far as Golconda this
afternoon in the sheriff's car. 1t may
be stated that the Jail was rather
popular place just before the party
started out this afternoon, and that
the only reason that certain Off
cials, including the county assessor,
deputy sheriff, and justice of the
peace, did not have urgent business
to attend to in that neighboring
town, was that the sheriff's car is
only five-passenger affair. and be-
sides the sheriff may have had Off
cial duties to attend to after reaching
there and could not be bothered with
a crowd. Mr.. Evans also may be col
lecting revenues in that city, that
being part of his official duties.

LITTLE OLD FORD
RUNS PRINT SHOP

And the little old Ford rambled
right along" Now we know it did
and does. and can prove 1t.
Faced this morning. because of the
power house fire. with the problem OF
getting out newspaper without
electricity to turn the motors. The
Silver State was in an awful FIX. The
old gasoline engine was sold two
years ago and electricity had been the
sole source Of power.
Should a gasoline engine be pur-
chased at a cost Of $175 or could som.
other method be found?
First thing thought of was an auto
mobile. and then a tractor, but at the
Winnemucca Garage 1t was learned
only one Fordson was equipped with
a power pulley. and the garage need
ed that for shop power
FINALLY, with the aid OF Harold
Haviland. Ford truck was driven
In front Of The Silver State Office
one ef the rear wheels lacked up and
the tire removed: belt was stretched
through one OF the windows and put
around the wheel of the Ford. Aboul
noon the whole arrangement was in
working order and the Linotype ma
chine started grinding out type for
this edition. The big newspaper
press was run at the same time and
the Ford pulled both loads with ease
and In a manner entirely satisfactory
The job presses could have been run,
too.
Several other users of power In
Winnemucca havs evolved ingeniou
methods OF getting along. The Win
nemucca Meat Market had several
hundred dollars worth of meat in
the refrigerator. liable to spoil be
cause OF no power to run the icing
plant. Doom Cooper secured permis
sion to use the city tractor and In
short order 1t was turning artificial
coldness into the big box, with Wal.
ter Wilkinson as engineer.
The Silver State and readers are
indebted to C. f. Haviland, proprie
tor OF the Winnemucca Garage, fol
the Ford truck used In this plant to
day and his kindness Is greatly ap
preciated.

WOMEN TAKES FORD
AND EN- ROUTE HERE

A telegram was received at the
sheriff's office last night asking Of
ficers OF this city to be on the look
out for young woman, aged about
%, wearing khaki trousers and white
stockings. and whose height is about
o feet four inches. The lady IL al
legged to have stolen a stripped down
Ford last night at Reno at about 6
O'Clock and was headed this way
when last seen. The telegram also
stated that she possibly has a man
companion with her. A close watch
of the roads leading to this city has
been kept, but SO far nothing has
been seen of the alleged thief.

POWER HOUSE DESTROYED
by FIRE; DAMAGE $4,000

Winnemucca was aroused from a
sound sluniber this morning at few
minutes past two o'clock when the
fire whistle sounded an alarm which
told Of one of the largest and most
keenly felt conflagrations in this
community for many months.
Through some unaccountable way
the power house. which was located
about half mile south of the city,
became ignited and before anything
could be done to check the fire, the
| whole structure was a mass of
flames. The fire truck. although on
the scene within few minutes after
the alarm was turned In, was unable
to get within several hundred feet OF
the scene. the whole surrounding ter
ritory seeming to be on fire, and only
one hydrant available for protection
by water power.
How the blaze started in the first
place seems to be mystery. No one
was on the scene at the time of the
fire starting, excepting the night op-
orator Chris Diess, who accounts for
It by the explosion of 50-gallon ker-
osene tank which was just outside
the building. In the rear. He says
that after hearing an explosion oui
there he ran out to find mass of
flames. and that after partially ex-
tinguishing them, similar explosion
came from another tank in the same
vicinity. The flames spread at ter
rifle rate, and when an effort wa
made to summon help through cen
tral. he was unable to get anyone, the
phone for some reason being out o.
rider. II was reported that the
larm was finally sent in from the
Southern Pacific depot, by some one
who saw the flames. The alarm, how.
eyer, was not turned in at the fire
house until after Night Watchmar
Perry Boyd had called fire several
lines at that place. after which IL
was only a matter of few minutes
until firemen arrived and the truck
was on its way.
Although water was applied by men
arriving on the scene within a few
minutes after the blaze broke out, and
4 large amount of chemicals were
rsed, nothing seemed to quench the
flames, and II was only a matter of
few minutes until the whole struct-
IRE was reduced to ashes. Three
'arge Fairbanks-Morse engines-one
200 horsepower and two 100-horse
power, Fairbanks-Morse enginesSHR
oower-besides a large amount OF
other machinery. were contained in
he building. and just what damage
was done to these cannot be estimtaed
until an insurance man arrives from
San Francisco tomorrow. Although
L is possible that the heat and water
have done a great deal OF damage to
this machinery. 1t is hoped that the
engines may be In condition to be
used again. A large number Of tools
Belonging to the operators were de-
stroyed. az well as other small but
valuable supplies.
Within a few minutes after the fire
broke out the city was plunged into
darkness. and will remain so at night
until some relief can be found.

NEW. ICE FACTORY IN PROS.
PECT FOR PARIS

Rumors that would not down were
current on the streets of Paris yes
| terday tn the effect that local can't
tai is becoming interested in the mat
| ter of another ice making plant for
Paris. 1t was reported that a num-
Der of Paris business men were
sounding the people of the city and
county as to the ACCESSIBILITY of form
ing stock company for the purpose
OF erecting big plant in this city.
1t was stated that among those who
were deeply interested in the pro-
posed. plant were John Merringer,
Jeff Denton, N. Ford Brent and q
number of others. A large number
OF pledges had already been secured
for the purchase of stock, and the
campaign was being waged merrily
with the prospect of ultimate success.
Several sites are being considered for
the new venture, the most available
and most desirable one being located
at point near the Louisville & Nash
vile railroad, within short distance
OF the business center of the city.
There has long been need of COM
petition in the matter of ice for the
city of Paris. We all remember the
yexatious delays and troubles that
ensued with the local plant in-the
past two years, various reasons be-
ing assigned for the shortage in the
supply and the consequent almost
prohibitive rates caused thereby. As.
competition is the life of trade, it is
hoped that ice business in Paris, with
!! the acquisition and aid of the pro-
posed new plant, will be brought to a
point where the consumer NAV reap
some of the benefit.
1t was further learned YESTERDAY
!, that the new company, which is to
take the name of the Home Ice
Company, will be capitalized at
$4,000. Mr.. Denton will be the
largest stakeholder, but will have.
associated with him practically all
the larger ice consumers in Paris.
Including the grocers, meat dealers.
refreshment houses and restaurant
proprietors. The greater part OF
stock, it was said, has already
been subscribed and efforts are be-
ing made to complete the list of
subscriptions within the next few
days. Mr.. Denton will probably
take active charge of the plant.
The plan has the active support
and cooperation of the Paris Com
mercial Club
| 1t was stated yesterday that if the
venture is go, and there is no reason
why it should not be one of the most
complete ice manufacturing plants
in the State will be erected, with
competent men in charge. There is
plenty of local capital for the pur-
pose, THE NEWS expresses the
opinion that the new venture will be
carried forward to successful con-
clusion. Here's hoping!

nesday morning when Chief of Po-
lice Link and Patrolman Lusk
raided a house on Seventh street,
and arrested James Arthur and
Louise Bedinger, both colored, who
were charged with violation Of the
prohibition laws.
The still captured was very
crude affair, but it had evidently
served for the purpose of making
"hite mule" small quantity of

sides a lot of meal and consider
able amount of mash" with which
preparations were evidently under
way for another run. The outfit
consisted of a large keg used for
fermentation, a tin lard can with a
hole in the center for the still and
about ten feet of gas pipe, used for
a worm" In close proximity to
this equipment lot of meal and
mash was found.
Arthur and the Bedinger woman
were placed under arrest and taken
