WIND STORM DID
DAMAGE IN NORTH
Thursdays Storm Wrought Havoc
In DEMO Neighborhood, Where
Many Structures We're
Blown to the Ground

Word received in Winnemucca
yesterday asserts that the wind
storm of last Thursday night did
considerable damage in the DEMO
district, where the blow was un-
broken by natural topography.
NJ. R. Alvorsen, owner of the
stage line operating between this
city and Denio, said yesterday that
the storm of Thursday night was
the worst since the history of set
tlement in his neighborhood. Little
rain fell, but the velocity of the
wind was terrific. His garage fell
and buried two automobiles, and
wrought general havoc that brought
considerable loss to him. He also
said that the school building on the
Oregon side of the line, of a size
20x40 feet, was demolished, as well
as the less pretentious school edifice
on the Nevada side, and that many
other buildings in the district were
leveled to the ground.
Word reaching this city from
other neighborhoods in the northern
part of the county carry reports of
damage, although the DEMO district
suffered the greatest loss. In the
McDermitt section number of hay
stacks >were partially blown away,
with a resulting loss to stockmen
who depended upon the stacked sup
ply to care for their stock through
out the present winter.

ball action and strategy.
The Centre team, coached by
Charlie Moran, former National
league umpire, has become one of the
brainiest, fastest. gamest teams in the
sport. Under the calling of Quarter
back "Bo' Mcmillan it ran off plays
which caught Harvard flatfooted. Its
very mode of attack surprised the
squad of Crimson coaches and STRAIT
egists.
Mcmillan and RED" Roberts, the
two outstanding stars of this years
team, helped make Centres first great
eleven. Mcmillan is given credit by
eastern critics for being possibly the
greatest football star of the day. His
feat in scoring the touchdown which
beat Harvard to 0 Showed the stuff
he has. His quick thinking in ham
ding the broken field of runners
ahead OF him was a masterpiece.
Red" Roberts, at left end. is another
brilliant player. His defensive work
helped hold Harvard almost armless.

Charlie Moran is given much of the

Washburn has shown wonderful

1t is simply question of determine

If Washburn will try, try hard, try

The Job will be a heart-breaking
