ELK0 PRAISE FOR|
LOCAL HOSPITALITY

An account of the WinEemucca-
Elko girls basketball game. played
here last Saturday. appears in the
"Elko Coyote" high school paper OF
the Elko high school. published yss-
terday. 1t Will prove interesting to
Winnemuccans as showing the Elko
viewpoint OF the game. The boost
given Winnemucca hospitality will
help our reputation materially. The
story follows:
AS result of several unforeseen
circumstances the Elko girls team
went down to defeat before the Win
nemucca high school team. Going up
against one Of the strongest teams In
the state for their first game this year
may also have had something to do
with their losing the game.
The team arrived in Winnemucca
early Saturday afternoon and after
getting adjusted to their surround
ings they had a dinner d. the high
school to which both teams were in
vited.
The main game was preceded by a
preliminary between two picked
teams In the high school. The Elko
girls went on the floor at 8:15. Dur
ing the first half Elko seemed to do
all the playing. and after fifteen min
utes of hard playing the score stood
IA to in Elko's favor. Winnemucca
came back in the second half with
her defense materially strengthened
by change in guards, and with her
reputation of three years at stake.
The second half was fast and fluff

tie referee, who was very inexperl-
cnced in refereeing girls basketball.
never having refereed a game before.
He was also somewhat hazy on the
rules, disputes coming up that inter-
fered greatly with playing the game
as 1t should have been played. Win
nemucca kept gaining point after
point and when the game ended the
score was winnemucca 26, Elko 20.
The game was good and fast, with
plenty of excitement at all times, and
was declared by many to have been
the fastest game. ever played between
teams on the Winnemucca floor.
A social club at Winnemucca gave
dance after the game. to which both
teams were invited. This turned out
to be an enjoyable affair, and from
all reports there seems to be some
wonderful dancers down Winnemucca
way. Several automobiles, including
Ford with all apologies to Miss
ReiD were utilized the next day tax
ing in the sights" and when it comes
to hospitality we must take our hats
off to Winnemucca.

CARL|N FIRE LOSS
ESTIMATED $4,000

Carlin experienced q serious loss
Tuesday when fire broke out in the
Falstaff building and spread tok the
adjoining building before the water
pressure could be brought to bear,
from the Southern Pacific company,
The Falstaff is situated In the main,
business block. just south and east
of the depot. the majority of the
houses in this block being built OF
lumber and 1t is very fortunate In
deed that the flames did not wipe out
the entire business section.
The fire was due to an explosion OF
gasoline under the coffee urn, when
one Of the walters attempted to start
the urn. The blazing liquid was
thrown over the room and in an In
slant the whole place was q mass Of
flames. The alarm was given. but the
flames spread with such rapidity that
the fire had reached the adjoining
building on the west. the Bud saloon
and the upper story of the big Over
land hotel had begun to blaze before
the water was turned on. After the
hose was gotten In operation 1t was a
matter Of minutes before the fire was
under control.
The loss will not exceed 5000,
and of this amount $1,000 was covered
by insurance on the Falstaff, the Bud
carrying no Insurance, but saving all
the contents of the building.
The water system of CaNin is owned
by the Southern Pacific company
and when the big pump at the shops
is started they have a very heavy
pressure, strong enough to tear down
any Of the frame buildings. We un-
derstand that IL it hadn't been for
this system that the most of the town
would have gone up in smoke,
especially all that portion south
Of the railroad.
There were five or six rooms In the
Overland hotel damaged. especially by
water. but the building itself escaped

TAKES THE KIDS TO
SHOW APPRECIATION

One hundred and eighty-five lusty
young Americans under fifteen years
of age took advantage of the special
matinee at the American theatre yes
terday afternoon to see Way Down
East" the fastest Griffith picture,
and when the announcement OF the
william and his frequent beatings up
were screened the concrete walls of
the playhouse were the only things
that kept people from knowing some
thing was going on In town. But the
real noise took place during the long,
exciting scenes when the hero res
cued the heroine from the ice break.
When it seemed they both must
surely go over the falls with the tons
of crashing ice such calls as Run,
fool" filled the theatre. and the In
tense excitement kept the kiddies
jumping up and down in their seats
and screeching encouragement until
the lovers were safely ashore, and
then applause OF relief broke forth.
Though the reporter had witnessed
the picture the evening before, the
excitement and applause of the chill
dren was catching and the thrills
OF the picture were much more i'm
pressive. and the thought occurred il
older people would "let go" once In
awhile public occasions would be
more entertaining and enjoyable.
Crowds at the American Tuesday
and last night to see Way Down
East taxed the house to capacity.
Opinion seems to be general that the
picture is one not to be missed.
Impression grows upon those who
have witnessed Griffiths pictures
that he is actuated by humanitarian
impulses in his work. Judgment is
that he is a man who will not coun-
tenance intolerance of any sort and
has definite ideas of the modern code
of right and wrong.

RObbing Birds Nests

Pope Benedict XIV. in making a
contribution to a society for animal
protection recently, asked parish
priests to warn boys not to rob
birds nests and snare birds. This
is a reminder of the old time ex-
ploits of the bad boys of this coun-
try. Twenty FIVE years ago, the
typical hockey players and mischief
loving kids We're greatly addicted to
robbing birds nests.
Boys of a better stripe also used
to take birds eggs to make collec-
tons. Many were the trades of
these prizes that used to be con-
summated down back of the barn.
A collection Of birds eggs is one of
the most fascinating bits Of color
produced by the world of nature, and
it is no wonder that it fascinates
the kid mind. But when a boy
steals from a bird, he steals from
one of mans best friends.

$24 FOR PRISONERS, $3.50 FOR
ORPHANS
That Is Law in Iowa, Says o. E
Klingaman.

Iowa City, Iowa,-Prisoners in
county jails have maximum food
allowance of $24 per month, under
the law.
The sheriff gets the money.
Widowed mothers get $3.50 a
month for the care Of their de-
pendent children, under the law.
Until the last legislature they got
50.
The fact will be presented to the
Iowa conference of social workers
at their meeting in Creston Sept.
25-27 by Prof. 0. E. Klingaman.
Miss Louise Cottrel, special well
fare worker in the university extern
sion, believes that it is unjust to
mothers who must be both mother
and father to their broods.
The discrepancy is larger than it
seems. The sheriff doesn't have to
pay house rent or fuel or clothing
bills; widows must.

ODD FELLOWS BIG MEET
Sixty-seven Past Grands Had Grand
Lodge Degrees Conferred on
Them at Postville.

On Friday, Sept. Q, at Postville,
a large gathering of Odd Fellows
took place, and a great many De-
corah Odd Fellows were in attend
ance. The Postville Herald gives
the following particulars Of the big
meeting:
A class of 81 Past Grands of the
various Oddfellow lodges in north
eastern Iowa had the Past Official
and Grand Lodge degrees conferred
upon them here last Friday after
noon at the special session of the
Grand Lodge of Iowa Independent
Order of Oddfellows, which was on
of the largest gatherings of the or
der ever held in this section. Dep
uty Grand Master Lynn j. Erwin of
Logan and Grand Secretary L. W.
Smith of Des Moines, assisted by
District Deputy Grand Master A. j.
Phillips as Grand Marshal and Past
Grand j. w. Campbell acting as
Grand Conductor, the latter two be-
ing residents of this city.
In the evening close to 800 Odd
fellows from surrounding lodges
gathered at the Singer Hall to wit
ness the comforting of the first and
second degrees upon two local can
didates, the Cresco lodge comforting
the first degree and the DEBORAH
lodge the second degree. TIL de
gree teams Of these two lodges are
considered among the best in the
state and the manner in which they
exemplified the lesson taught by
Oddfellowship was real treat to all
who were fortunate enough to be
present.
After the work refreshments We're
served by the local lodge, And thus
happily ended one Of the most de-
lightful and helpful meetings of the
"three linkers" ever held in this
section Of the state.

HOWARD COUNTY WANTS FAIR.
Farm Bureau Has Taken Up Mat
ter and Prospects Seem Good.

The Howard County Times says
in recent issue that prospects are
on for Howard County Fair in
the future, and says that prospects
for county fair for Howard county
frightened considerably when the
Farm Bureau board of directors
made the first move at their reg
ular meeting last month. The di-
rectors voted unanimously to appoint
committee 10 see what could be
done to organize a fair association.
The need of as agricultural fair
in this county was felt more than
ever this year. The Farm Bureau
directors from the western part of
the county stated that many of the
people in their community were GO
ing to fairs in other counties. 1t
was suggested that these people
prefer going to a fair in their own
county.
1t is well known fact that How
ard county used to have one of the
best county fairs in the state. Vari.
Gus factors, including mismanage-
ment, caused it to be abandoned.
Since that time conditions have
changed considerably. Good roads
and automobiles make travel easy.
