how / would like a job as scout under
the command of General Miles. / was
cAly 10 years old and dida't lnow
whether t, tasc the job or not. My
father told ine / had better GO.
l took the job about The eighth of
December, the soldiers giving me the
nickname "Boy Scout" which I still
go by. We pulled out of old Fort Peck
for the mouth of the Little porcupine.
The first fight we had was just below
! the mouth of the Milk river. Our
next fight was at the mouth of the
Little Porcupine on u way back to
Fort Peck. We captured 10 lodges of
hostile Indians under the leadership
of Charging Thunder, Sitting Bulls
right-hand scout, who is still living on
the Standing Rock reservation.
After returning to Fort Peck, Gen.
Frank D. Baldwin sent for me and
said: "Joe, we will start for Wolf
Point and cross the river, going up
the Redwater to it's head and then to
Fort Keough." l replied that l didn't
know much about the country on the
south side of the Missouri, but that
l would do my best. The Generals re.
l ply was, "Joe, you have done fine
work, and although you are a young
man, l put a great deal of confidence
in you.
We left Wolf Point about Decem
Der 18th and camped at the head o:
Wolf Creek, which empties into tn
Redwater. After striking the Red
water we took our time. About tn,
fifth day out I began to see signs O
Indians, but said nothing. Ate

much on the fight, but said nothing

country and an excellent pair of fiel,
glasses, together with being just a
foxy as any Indian that ever run tn
bad lands of Montana.
The winter of 1876 was a severe

Winnemucca, March 4, 1922.
Editor, The Silver State: A great
deal of discussion has been going on
regarding highway construction
through the local papers and puphc
expressions, as to which is the
more important to the taxpayers OF
our county, the Overland highway
or good roads leading north from
our city, into Oregon and into some
of the northern counties of Califor-
MIA. From a financial standpoint OF
a taxpayer, / would favor the north
ern roads. They would certainly be
of more use and benefit to the
greater number of taxpayers OF the
county. The highway will be a
very nice thing to have, but will
cost a pile of money and be very
expensive to maintain. Personally
it would benefit me greatly. We
have two of the best railroads in
the world running through our
county, so that anyone wanting to
travel east or west from here can
go with much more comfort and
pleasure and save a great deal of
time going by rail. We don't have
to maintain the railroads., but on

ATHLETICS

basketball team left for Reno to
attend the tournament. Wednesday
afternoon they played their first
game, which was with Tonopah. The
game at first seemed to be going
very much in favor Of Tonopah, as
the first half ended with a score OF
"a in their favor. However, ou1
boys came back determined to win
and succeeded in holding them sc
they did not score once while ou1
boys made three points, making the
final score 81.
Wednesday the girls team went
to Reno, where they played Carson
City Thursday afternoon. While
Carson City's team was not as weak
as it was, they were still not very
strong and the Winnemucca girls
easily won by a score of 21-7.
The boys played their first game
for the junior cup with Wells, de-
feating them seven points.
That afternoon the Winnemucca
girls met the Reno girls and by a
series of misfortunes were defeated
by a score of 25-5, which put them
out of the contest for the champion
ship.
Just before the boys second game
for the junior cup with Lovelock the
boys broke training and were in no
condition for the game. Mateo was
unable to play at all and several of
the boys were hurt during the con-
flict. Owing to this and i'll luck at
shooting goals the Winnemucca boys
lost by a score of 1876. This was
the last game the Winnemucca
teams took part in during the tour
nament.
Yerington went home with both
the junior cups and Fallon for the
second time won the girls champion
ship. After the hardest fought bat
tie of the tournament, Sparks won
the cup, victors over Reno by one
point.
The Winnemucca teams returned
home last Sunday afternoon on the
Western Pacific, tired out but by
no means discouraged.

D. F. ABEL (stock huyer)-"I
have resided in northern Nevada for
a great many years and while l am
not carper, and may be prone to
forget the things that happened in
the past, yet | cannot recall any
winter that parallels the present in
the matter of inconvenience to the
stockman. 1t is true that losses
have been very light; in fact they
are not unusual, but much still de-
ponds upon the manner in which
winter breaks up. Much of the stuff
being fed will leave the feeding
places soon for the forage of the
ranges. Inasmuch as we are having
a rather late spring, feed will prob
ably be scant for some weeks after
warm weather comes. However, the
stockman is not usually a pessimist,
else he woul not be a stockman, and
the class residing in this county are
altogether hopeful that a normal
springtime will succeed wintertime
in a manner that will bring satisfac-
ton to all interests. A sudden
change to warm weather and then a
slight lowering Of temperatures
would form ideal lambing condi-
tions. Landing time is almost here
and the success of the period is
pretty much dependent upon the
kind of weather we have"

PUBLIC OPINION

w. A. BROWN (secretary, Eagle
Drug Company)-"Of course l am
in favor of the plan to create a
city park for Winnemucca. l am in
favor of any innovation that will
tend to advance the material inter-
ests of this city and make US hap
pier through added convenience.
But while l favor a city park l must
say that l would rather have a park
less town than townless park. A
townless park might follow too
heavy expenditures for close-in real
esttae on which to create the park.
To my way of thinking distance
doesn't mean a great deal nowadays,
what with the great number of con-
venient vehicles available for trans
portation throughout the period of
the year when parks are visited in
this latitude, and the money that
would form the initial outlay in a
close-in undertaking might well go
for equipment and Identification on
site further out. 1t must be I'M
derstood that taxes are going to be
very hard to meet for some years to
come and that we are going to pay
the fiddler for the dancing of a cou-
pie of years ago, and until the obi
cation is fully discharged and better
business methods are introduced into
the general situation, it is distinctly
my idea that we should practice
economy in every one of our indi-
vidual and collective undertakings,
and city park must be included
within the things for which money
cannot be expended too prodigally."
JOE GRAUVOGEL Qocal agent,
Western Pacifc) -"Railroad bust
ness is really fine now and pick
ing up all the time, with local ship
ments increasing steadily. We still
employ nine crews, but all of the
men are drawing better pay checks.
Nothing new has developed in the
anticipated bunker" coal business,
for which 700 new cars were built,
but as soon as shipments start I'll
let you know. This was expected
to result in considerable new bust
ness for the Western Pacific from
Utah and Wyoming coal-producing
points to the Pacific coast, the coal
to be used on ocean-going steamers,
but foreign competition cut in to
such an extent it was seen a cut in
freight rates would be necessary
before we could get any of the BUSH
ness. 1t will probably be sixty to
ninety days before the new freight
rates reduction will 60 into effect,
according to information l get from
|. S. Pearce, travelling freight and
passenger agent for our road. An
item of interest, and one that indi-
Gates the period of ruthless re-
trenchment in railroad circles is
over, is in the fact that l recently
received instructions to employ an
other man about the station prem
ises, to act in the capacity of jani-

GIRLS TRACK MEETING
POSTPONED ONE WEEK

The track and field events at the
high school grounds that were to
have been participated in by the
husky girls of the county high
school student body this afternoon,
have been postponed until next Sat
urday owing to the inclemency of
the weather. It was previously
planned to have the boys compete
next Saturday and it is likely that
both sexes will engage in compe-
tition next Saturday, boys against
boys and girls against girls, of
course, although Prof. J. D. Scott,
high school principal, believes that
some of his girls would rival their
stronger opponents in certain of the
field events.
This morning was given over by
the student body to clearing and
making fit the athletic grounds at
the high school. The hard times
ball will occur this evening as orig
inally promised and at noon today
a big feed was served.
