The vacancies in the high school
faculty caused by the designations
of Miss Lydia Colyer and Ayva L.
Walker have recently been filled.
Miss Margaret Mcmillan comes from
North Dakota to succeed Miss Col
yer in the instruction of Latin and
history. Miss Mcmillan also comes
highly recommended as pianist and
violinist and will have charge of
music in the high school. B. S.

will have charge of the shop work
and wireless. He is also a musician
and has had experience in the
organization Of school orchestras
and glee clubs.

mixer and a man who makes no
enemies, he presents political
front that is hard of penetration.
1t would require rip-snorting
campaigner to defeat Davey, and
no one yet has even intimated that
they think they are that kind Of
material.
The same is true of County
Treasurer Cora Hoenstine. Mrs.
Hoenstine is generally loved by all
citizens of this city and in the
whole county, for that matter, if
returns at the last election are
any criterion. She ran so far
ahead of all other county candidates
then that election officials became
tongue-tied calling out her name to
slack parched throats. She is run
ming as a Democrat, but has the
endorsement of the Republican
county convention, making her elec-
ton one of the practical certainties
of the campaign.
As state above, Frank Germain
will be opposed for the office of
county recorder and auditor by
j. A. Rogers. This will prove a
pretty tussel for votes and no tell
ing who will emerge victorious.
District Attorney L. G. Wilson
will probably be candidate for
reelection, though he has not yet
made official statement to that ef-
feet. L. o. Hawkins, H. Warren,
T. E. Powell and T. A. Brandon
are talked of as possible opponents,
with real pressure brought to bear
on Mayor Brandon to make the
race. He says, however, that his
sacrifice would be too great for the
remuneration of the office and has
fatty refused, so far, to even con-
slider running. The same is true of
Tom Powell and both Warren and
Hawkins have denied that they were
even thinking about making the
race. Wilson presents easy pickings
for someone, however, and it is not
likely that the place will go begging.
Two county commissioners are to
be elected this fall, one from Win
nemucca for four years (long term)
and the other from outside. W. ].
Bell is the present Winnemuccu
commissioner, while J. l. Peterson
of Golconda is the outside commits
sioner whose place has to be re-
filed this time. w. C. Bradshaw
of Paradise Valley is the hold-over
commissioner. The commissioner
fight is going to present a pretty
fight, with all kinds of candidates
out for the two places. With ar
alleged violation of the nepotisn
law hanging over the heads of the
commissioners now in office it is nc
certain thing that all three places
may not be filled this fall, for il
the case is pressed it carries with it
upon conviction, loss of office. Il
is general opinion that Commissioner
Bell will not be candidate for re
election because of uncertainty in
the outcome. 1t is thought, rather
that he will put forward a candi.
date favorable to himself, whose
election would mean practical Bel
control of the county because of the
kipship of Commissioner Rradshau
