The Little Old Gray Man
II ACK and Janet we're roaming
happily in the great woods.
Spring had come. The snow had
gone except for a patch here and
there in shady hollows; the air was
soft and sweet.
The homecoming birds scurried
about joyfully. Some were looking
for places to build their nests; others
were tarrying but a short while be-
fore going farther north.
II hope the birds build their nests
near our bungalows" cried Jack.

be lovely to have them awaken us
with their joyful morning songs and
put us to sleep at night with their
twilight lullabies."

Warships Sacrificed
To Improve Gunnery
Of British Sailors

LONDON, July 26 - Associated
Press Mail)-Having found no buyers
for the great group of battleships
which the Washington conference de-
creed should be strapped, Great
Britain is using the monsters as tar
gets for the gunners of the Royal
Navy and the bombers of the Royal
Air Force. Like the United States
and France, this country has a dozen
or more specially fine cruisers and
one time dreadnoughts which must
be relegated to the ignominious junk
pile.
Thunderer, Monarch Conqueror
Colossus, Lion, Ajax, Centurion, King
George ", Princess Royal, Erin and
Orion, monsters of 10000 or more
tons, once the pride of the Seven
Seas, are all doomed. Costing more
than 100000 originally, junk deal
ers have offered the government only
10000 apiece for them.
The navy is now engaged in a
series of target tests on the famous
battleships Agamemnon and Superb,
which, like their sister ships, are to
find their graves in the ocean at the
hands of the gunners and jack tars
that once manned them. The ad-
miralty is trying by these tests to
determine how a direct hit can be
prevented from passing from the tur-.
ret down the ammunition tube.
In the battle of Jutland, Invincible,
interchangeable and Queen Mary blew
up because of a flash passing from
the ammunition tube to the maya
zines below. So Superb is now in

we ask them to-" suggested Jack, and
he shouted to the fitting birds.
But the birds were to busy with
their scurryfng and their visiting.
They paid no attention to the child
'ren.
Come birds! Come birds and be
neighbors," cried Janet. Still the
birds paid no attention. But some
one else did. That some one else
was a little old gray man, driving a
little old gray horse hitched to a
little old gray wagon.
"Whoa!" cried the little old gray
man to his little old gray horse.
What are you children doing?"
I'VE are asking the birds to build

Jack.
"Ho! Ho! Hol That is a fine
idea" laughed the little old gray man
But you are not asking the birds
in the right way"

right way?" asked Janet
"Ho! Ho! Ho! To be sure l WILL"
answered the little old gray man.
But first I have an errand to do. Can
you tell me where to find a fair lassie
named Janet and a brave laddie
named Jack?"
That question surprised Jack and
Janet. Who could this little old man
be who was asking where he could
find them?

Jack after a moment.
"Ho! Ho! Ho! And you want to

The little old gray man made room
for them on the seat of the wagon,
but Jack and Janet held back. They
had been taught not accept rides
from strangers.

He handed Jack the paper, and
spelled out this message:
Dear Jack and Janet-We are

a springtime surprise for you. He is
a kind little old gray man so be nice
to him." The note was signed by
father and Janet's father. The

Now will you ride with me?"
Yes, now Jack and Janet would ride

COUNTY PIONEER
DIED At L0vEL0CK
Peter Anker, One of Nevada's Sub.
stantial Citizens, Passed to His
Reward Last Night at the
Age of 70 Years

Nevada, and especially the vicinity
around Lovelock, lost one Of its
most substantial citizens last night
when Peter Anker, resident of that
valley for forty years, passed away
at the family home following an
illness of many months. Although
his demise has been expected for
some time, a large number of his
friends and admirers in that sec
tion and of the entire state are
grieved to learn of his passing.
Deceased was born in Denmark
70 years ago, coming to this coun-
try at the age of Ia. He spent
the early years of his life around
Carson City, engaging in the carpen-
tering trade, and helped in the
building of the big quartz mills near
that city. He became owner of
the Anker ranch, one of the most
beautiful and valuable ranches in
Lovelock valley, forty years ago,
and since that time has endeared
himself to the people of that valley
and the whole state through his
personal acquaintanceship with them
and through holding various state
and county offices. Mr.. Anker
was elected state assemblyman in
1904 on the Republican ticket, dur
ing the term of which office he per-
formed his duties most efficiently.
He served as county commissioner
for this county when Humboldt
and Pershing counties were one. He
has been vice-Danish counsel for a
number of years for this state and
has long been a director in the First
National Bank of Lovelock. He is
reputed to have been one of the
progressive big men of the state,
broad minded and practical through
out his dealings with both big and
small matters.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs.
Peter Anker, two sons, Chester
Anker and Phillip Anker, also by
three daughters, Mrs. George Ken
nedy, Mrs. Clarence Young and
Mrs. B. Wiley. All five children
own homes in Lovelock valley, all
but one owning ranches there. He
also leaves one sister and one
brother in Sacramento. He was a
member of the Scottish Rite order
of Masons and also a Shriner. The
funeral will be held at the family
home in Lovelock Monday after.
moo, and interment will be in the
Lovelock cemetery.

sCRUGHAM VISITS
THIS COMMUNITY
Claim Made That He Was Justified
In Employing Attorneys at
Cost to State of $4,000 for
Legal investigation

State Engineer J. G. Scrugham,
accompanied by ]. v. Mueller Of
Carson City, arrived in this city
this morning from Elko and both
men are gathering data in connec-
tion with the Humboldt river adju-
dication preparatory to hearings to
be held in Carson City Monday of
protests entered against water right
findings. At the same time it is
plainly evident that Mr.. Scrugham
is overlooking no opportunity to
build up his political fences in the
interest of his candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for governor
of Nevada. He was cordial caller
at the office of The Silver State and
left information that he will soon
issue an answer to published let
ter, written by his opponent for the
nomination for governor, James T.
Boyd, demanding information as to
why Scrugham had employed at
torneys, at cost to the state of
$4,000, when the state attorney gen.
eral is elected for the purpose, of
giving legal advice to state officers.
The letter mentioned was printed
in The Silver State, and while not
condoning the expenditure Of the
money, nor acknowledging that
other of his official acts have been
to the best interests of taxpayers
of this state, it is only fair to
Scrugham that more than one side
of the matter be published. The
Sparks Tribune of yesterday said:
"In the interest of the general
public and for the purpose of get
ting precisely the real intent of the
legislature in the appropriation of
$4,000 for Especial adjudication
and special investigations" in the
state engineers office in 1921, the
Tribune wired to Mr.. Tracy Fair
child of Elko, Republican, chair
man of the ways and means COM
mittee of the last assembly and one
of the sterling men of Nevada. 1t
was on account of the high opinion
that this paper holds for the hon.
esty and integrity of Mr.. Fairchild,
and on account of that gentleman's
standing in this state, that he was
asked to respond to the following
wire:
"Tracy Fairchild, Tuscarora, New.
Wire US collect intent of $4,000
appropriation special adjudication
and special investigations state en-
gineer's office. Was intention to
pay legal advice for engineers
Office out of this?
"The answer received follows:
"Sparks Tribune: State engineer

judication of water of Humboldt
river extra expense incurred and
believe a portion of this was to be
used to secure expert legal advice
on questions pertaining to same.

SITUATION
GETTING SERIOUS
Members of Big Four Brotherhoods
Quit Work Here Yesterday Up-
til Armed Guards We're
Withdrawn by WP.

In spite OF threatened walkouts
and tie-ups at various division points
on railroads throughout the country,
the strike situation here, as well as
at other places, seems to remain
practically unchanged. A complete
tie-up of the roads is a possibility,
but press reports are that negotia-
tions are under way at Washing
ton for settlement. What the pres
ent plan for settlement is has not
yet been made clear, though a sec
ond proposition submitted by Presi-
dent Harding is reported to have
been accepted by executives and
unanswered by union heads.
No mail has arrived in this city
from the east since Thursday night,
it was stated at the postoffice today.
Trains have been several hours late
during the last two days and al
though no definite information has
been received here as to the exact
cause of this irregularity, the trou-
BILE is supposed to be over the re-
fusal of enginemen and train crews
to work under surveillance of armed
guards.
The principal seat of trouble in
this portion of the country seems to
have been at Ogden, it is reported
at the Southern Pacific depot here.
Although yesterdays No. 10 ar
rived here this afternoon, no mail
was left or received at the depot,
there being a mail coach in the
train but no mail clerks aboard.
Today's No. 10 will arrive here
about midnight tonight and will
carry mail, it was stated at the
station. No. 81 is scheduled as 8H
hours late and No. 8 as an hour
and forty minutes late. That the
difficulty will soon be Strengthened
out and trains running again on
schedule is announced by Southern
Pacific officials here. Trains over
the S.P. from the west are running
as nearly on schedule as can be ex-
pected under present circumstances.
Western Pacific passenger trains are
moving nearly on schedule.
On account of complaint of en-
ginemen and trainmen at the West
ern Pacific station here yesterday
morning, as well as complaint of
the hostlers at the W.P. round
house here, guards employed in that
vicinity were disarmed, this action
being taken only after a general
walkout of the railroaders men,
toned above, and after a meeting
had been held by them yesterday
afternoon at which it was voted to
return to work after disarmament
had taken place. Trains which had
been stalled at the Western Pacific
depot for number of hours yes
terday were finally taken out last
evening. AS the situation stands
now, shopmen are the only ones out
and the situation is comparatively
the same as it was during the first
few days of the strike.
