MILLER HUNTS QUAIL
NOW, VOTES LATER

Senator John H. Miller, candidate
for republican nomination for Governor
and one of the most prominent figures
in mining and business enterprises in
the state, is among the many visitors
who are in Yerington for the OPEN
ing of the quail season.
Mr.. Miller is very optimistic con-
cerning the political outlook. He
states that he will make clean, hard
fight for the nomination and believes
that Nevada will be republican next
year, notwithstanding the tremendous
comeback staged by the democrats in
the various elections during the past
few weeks.
Mr.. Miller looks for revival of the
mining industry sooner than the av-
erage man, and particularly the copper
mining The outlook in Mineral
county, where Mr.. Miller is heavily
interested, is very hopeful. The pow
er line is about completed, making
possible the active development of the
great Simon mine and the reopenine
of the Candelaria district, where suffi-
cient ore is in sight to keep a large
reduction plant now under construc-
ton, in continuous operations for 20
years. The Luckyboy tunnel is being
repaired and put in shape for cross
cutting operations i'll search of new
orebodies In the northern end OF
Mineral county, adjoining Lyon coun-
ty, is one of the most highly mineral
lied and least prospected sections in
Nevada, according to the senator.
A large section of this territory was
inaccessible to anything but burro
train prior to the advent of the
Walker Lake highway. Since that
time it has attracted the attention OF
mining men and one company. the
White Leghorn. has already opened
up a promising property, while others
are preparing to begin operations.
The famous Northern Light mine,
owned by D. w. Mckenzie, OF YER
ington, is located in this section.
In addition to his business and
mining activities. Senator Miller is
known as one of the mostcnthusias-
tic and successful sportsmcn i'll the
state. He expects to spend lew days
l. 1. & Ia. -o{s,
to his home in Hawthorne.

RENO TOO STRONG
FOR YER|NG!0N HIS.

Saturday the Yerington high school
football team played their second
game of the season in Reno with the
Reno High school. Although out
matched in weight, size and experience,
fighting a losing game from the first
Kickoff" the Ycrington boys display
ed courage and nerve against over
whelmg odds seldom seen in high
school teams.
The speed with which they adapted
themselves to each new situation, the
fact that worn out by strenuous fight
ing they played better game the last
quarter against Reno's first team
fresh from a quarters rest gives much
promise of future football team that
will more than even old scores.
Although every boy on the team dis
played courage, nerve and head work.
to Reynold Penrose belongs the
glory of grasping the situation OF
picking up fumbled pass to make a
touchdown, and carrying the pigskin
across the line to safety.
Some of the brawny Reno players
will long remember the ninety-pound
tackle of the plucky little ninety
pound quarterback, Whitacre, who
makes every ounce of his 90 pounds
count.
A safety netted the Y. II. 5. two
points, leaving the final score 81 to 8
The Yerington team has made the
highest score against Reno SO far this
year.
The boys making the trip were: Yer.
non Leavitt, Vernon Penrose. John Lu'
cas-, Roy Whitacre, Vernal Tippets
Reynold Penrose, Johnston Powers
Virgil Bernard. Granville Leavitt
Keith Mcdonald, Gilbert Mathews
Paul Carney, Sidney McCulla, Artie
Reymers and Jim Perry.

est games OF the season, in Reno on
Mackay field against one of the largest
schools and best team OF the state
The game started last Saturday with
Reno receiving the ball Paul Carney

caught it and ran about 80 Yards to a
touchdown. The second kilk off Yer
ington rereived the ball and brought
it back to the forty yard liner.
The first two downs they didn't
cover any ground and on the third
down they still had ten to go. On
the fourth down Reymers punted and
they gained about fifteen yards. On
Reno's first down they put an end play
through our men and made another
touch down. All through the first
half Reno put end plays around our
line and at the end OF the first half
the score stood 62 too
AT the beginning of the second half
Reno put in their second team and
Yerington held them down to a closer
score than in the first half. When Yer

At meeting of the Yerington Com
mercial Club last Friday evening,
about 20 members were present, a
large proportion of whom were farm
ers who came to make protest against
the threatened quarantine on Nevada
potatoes. The California authorities
had declared against the enforcement
of the quarantine during the present
year. but a determined effort will be
made to prevent the shipment OF eel
worm potatoes next season. Chair
man Friedhoff urged all potato grow
ers to see that no inferior product be
shipped from the valley this year.

PROGRESS IS RAPID
ON WEST SIDE
CANAL

The West Side Canal Company is
making wonderful progress in the con-
struction of the canal between Wilson
Canyon and Nordyke. With expert
handling the big steam shovel is
gouging out GEO feet of ditch each
day, and nearly three miles or over
half the distance to Nordyke has been
finished.
The canal will pass west of the
Yerington depot and through por-
ton of the Gelder property 1t is ex-
pected that it will be finished as far
as the MasonPass road in months,
and so water will be available for use
next spring. Ten thousand acres of
the best land of the valley will be under
the ditch, and farming conditions in
this particular tract are said to be ideal.
Tie ground is all included within the
Walker River Irrigation District. This
is the first big progressive movement
to be taken as a result of the near
completion of the storage reservoir.

Water was turned into the Topaz
reservoir from the West Walker River

the volume OF water going into the
lake measured about 40 feet per sec
ond this having steadily increased un-
til at the present time, 20 feet per
second is being stored. The lake
level has now reached height OF
seven inches above the sills OF the out
let tunnel.
In the tunnel the concrete work is
being rushed to completion, with
less than two hundred feet out of the
total length of 2l00 feet unfinished

completed. and cofferdam is now
in process of construction at this point
The whole project should be ready
for the approval of the Directors of

INGRAM ASKS DATA
FROM EMPLOYERS

While the unemployed situation is
not so acute in Nevada as in other
states, Frank w. Ingram, Commis-
sioner of Labor, is sending out 600
ouestionaires to known and supposed
employers of labor, with view OF
getting this data which will clearly
show the present condition, as we'll as
the tendencies to be considered.
The practice has been an annual
one for some years, but this year it IS
especially important, and MIR. Ingram
requests that those receiving the ques-
tions make SPECIAL effort to assist in
the work by promptly answering the
inquiries presented on the blank.
If representative set OF replies can
be had, it will be possible not only to
make an accurate statement OF the
labor supply and demand, but also the
tendency of wages and to forecast con-
ditions for the coming season.
All OF the reliable data on costs o.
living. wage tendencies, labor demand
and labor supply, which is furnished
by the Federal Government Depart
ments, is derived from answers to
similar questions as we'll as from per-
sonal Investigations by agents whose
salary the Government is able to pay
The State Department OF Labor is
endeavoring to perform similar use
full service, brit is greatly handicapped
by lack of funds. If those receiving
the questions, whether they be en-
ployers or not, will take five minutes
to reply the work will be greatly ia
cilitated, and the net result will be of
distinct benefit to the employers as
we'll as to employees.
The information received cannot be
given out, under penalty of law, ex-
cept in the form Of generalized av
erages, so no one need fear that any
private information will be betrayed.

ure, whose back was turned to her. On
retreating to corner she was followed
by the figure, who was none other than
the unexpected Mr.. Voderheide. He
had been unable to accompany his wife
on her trip from Carson, but through
the united efforts of the sponsors of
the party Mr.. Vonderheide had made
