MARRIAGE
Law IGNORED
Statistics Registrar Tells
Clergymen They Do Not
Comply Fully With Act
CERTIFICATES
ARE DELAYED

Or. Robert 5. McBirney, seoretar
of the Board of Health. who sine
assuming his duties as Registrar O
Vital Statistics has endeavored {
have reports made Of all marriage
performed here. today sent out
letter TO olergymen, priests and 9th
ars who perform marriages, caAin
their attention to the state laws o.
.he subject. The letter follows:
Several months experience IN
the office of the Registrar OF
vital Statistics for this city,
clearly shows that all lndivid-
uals permorming the marriage
ceremony within this city are
not complying with the law in
regards 70 the making out of
marriage certificates or OF the
hlnng OF it with the Registrar
OF Vital Statistics.
The laws of the State Of Del
aware provide that on the blanks
furnished by the state registrar
a certificate should be made out
with black unfading ink. That
every question shall be answer
ed and written in a legible man
ner so that proper records can
be made which are correct. II Is
essential that every question be
answered and plainly so, and
that II possible a certificate be
made out by using a typewriter
If not. print the name and do it
IN a legible manner, for the
record is a permanent record; It
Is, in other words an original
and certified copies are asked
for in later years, and must be
made out correctly and exactly
like the original II we are un-
able to read or interpret the
original lt becomes necessary to
guess out the spelling OF the
name and therein mistakes are
made. The law also provides
that the persons making out
these certificates should report
them to the ONCE OF the Reg
istrar of Vital statistics. which
Is in the City Hon Of Whining
ton, and that they should reach
the Office on or before the last
day OF the month in which the
marriage Is contracted This is
important. and an item which
the persons before whom a mar
riage Is performed should bear
In mind.
The fact that the marriage Is
reported TO the state registrar
within "a hours after such mar
riage Is no excuse for not mail
ing the certificate OF marriage
to the local registrar within the
month In which It occurs. No
erasures or changes should be
made in any certificate. II
mistake IS made a new certifi-
cate should be used, and made
out as above designated. In
making figures, ike the street
address, one certainly ought to
use a bit Of care and make a
figure that is easily read and
does not REQUIRE the efforts OF
the whole Office stan to make
out what the street address IS.
This Information is given in
the hope that these marriage
certificates will be returned to
this once within the time spec
ihed BY law SO that the Vital
statistics OF this city may be
kept and recorded in the proper
manner. The cooperation Of
all Individuals having 20 do
with the marriage ceremony is
earnestly desired 70 the end that
we may be more successful in
our eforts 70 obtain proper rec
ords.
Very sincerely,
u. S. McBIRNEY.

Important Ruling

Important Ruling
The Nevada supreme court has
decided in favor Of the industrial
commission in the case brought by
E. d. Virden and by him won in the
district court of Washoe county.
Virden, in 1918, sustained injuries
resulting in total permanent dis
ability. He was granted compen-
sation at the rate Of fifty dollars
per month according to the provis-
ions of the law then in force. In
1921 the legislature PASSED an act
granting thirty dollars per month
additional for nurse hire in perma-
nent total disability cases. The
commission denied Virden the extra
thirty dollars per month provided in
the new law, and action was
brought by him in district court.
The supreme court in the unani-
nous opinion written by Justice
Quicker held that the settlement
made with Virden was contract
and that to grant the extra COM
pensation now would be making the
new statute retroactive in effect.
Settlements made by the commission
are, therefore, not to be modified to
conform to laws passed by q legis-
lature a few years after the &C
cident and compensation has been
accepted and collected in accord
ance with the terms Of the settle
ment.-Carson City News.

New Farms
Churchill county is leading other
counties in the state in increase of
farm population and new farms, ac-
cording to A. J. Reed, county agent.
New farmers, during the past four
months, have been coming into the
project, at the rate of four a month.
During the decade from 1910 to
1920 the increase of farms in
Churchill county was at the rate of
IAN a year, or 144 for the ten
year period. Census reports show
that Elko county was second with
IL new families a year, and Lyon
county third, with nine farm fami-
lies increase.-Virginia City Chroni-

QuittersL
The Crossen ranch in Starr Val
ley which was purchased some years
ago by Hylton and Mentz, yester-
day reverted into the possession of
]. Crossen of this city. This ranch
is one of the largest and best in
Starr Valley, and its sale attracted
considerable attention, when it
passed from the hands of the Cros-
sons who had spent most of their
lives in its upbuilding.
1t is understood that the recent
financial depression as well as the
low level to which the price of
livestock has fallen was the cause
of the decision on the part of Hyl-
ton and Mentz to give up the prop
erty.-Elko Free Press.

Marion Markla and George Hllyer
were in town yesterday, consulting
with C. A. Desmond, upon whose
Harmony canyon property they are
working a lease. They brought
with them samples of silver-copper
ore, taken from a recent strike,
which is rich in both metals. The
vein is three feet wide and has
been proven for fifty feet or more.
A carload of the ore is now on the
dumps and the first shipment will
be made next week to the Salt
Lake smelter.

Last Friday nights candidates
ball, given in the Nixon opera house
by Clyde sJewett was largely at
tended. More than 200 people
participated and the floor was
crowded with each plumber danced.
Excellent music was furnished and
it is probable that many Of the de-
feated candidates forgot their dis
appointments in the strains Of the
seductive Galtz music. True,
"Music hath charms to soothe the
savage breast" but any time you
think that a defeated candidate can
have his hurts soothed with balm
oozing from a photograph, it is
moral certainty that you have not
only never been a candidate, but
you have never been in close COM
munion with one, "the morning
after" A defeated candidate may
be able to force a smile, when you
kid" him about being an "also-
ram" but you had best "lay off
him" II he owes you anything, for
he will most readily seize the OPP
portunity to take umbrage at any
thing you may say, and Indignantly
tell you, "Never speak to me
again!" The defeated candidate
is always a sore hombre, it makes
no difference whether he shows it
or not; and for a long time after
the defeat he will have more con-
sumate liars on his acquaintance

CURRENT EVENTS AS THEY ARE REPORTED
BY EXCHANGES FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE STATE


Crushed To Death
Fatally crushed when a coal ten
der under which he was working,
slipped from its supports, C. w.
Ames, Western Pacific shop en-
ploye, died yesterday at 1:05
o'clock at the General hospital.
The accident occurred shortly be-
fore noon. Ames was working be-
meath a coal tender from which the
wheels had been removed. The
tender had been propped on sup
ports, and when these supports
gave way in some manner, the car
fell upon Ames, crushing him across
the stomach. His pelvis bone was
broken, and the bones in both of
his legs. He was rushed to the
hospital, but his injuries were fatal.
Mr.. Ames is survived by his wife,
two sons and q daughter. Mrs.
Ames, who has been visiting in

]. E. Amenda came in today from
the oil field at Illipah to attend to
Office business. He reports that the
new crown Of the derrick has been
put in place, but that owing to the
recent heavy storm of snow and
wind, operations have been shut
down for about two days.
There is still about two days work
to complete the underreaming and
setting the casing in the hole and
it is expected that conditions will
be favorable enough to start this
work Monday.
A peculiar freak of nature has
been noticed in the hole that was
lost sometime ago. This hole is
down over 929 feet and it is esti-
mated that at least 120 feet Of this
has been filled in by the sloughing
in Of the ground, yet there is a

this water is strong and seems to

The people Of Winnemucca were
shocked last night when the news
of another fatal accident on this
division of the railroad was re-
ceived. It was to the effect that
Brakeman E. G. Wright had been
run over by an engine at Hum
boldt and fatally injured. Mr..
Wright's death was the result of
an accident and no blame attaches
to anyone. He was generally liked
by all who knew him on account of
the many good qualities with which
he was endowed. He leaves a young
wife and baby daughter to mourn
his demise. He was a young man,
only 26 years old and the circum-
stances surrounding his death makes
it very sad one. He came here
about three years ago and went to
work as a switchman. He was hurt
in the yards making a coupling
about a month ago and this was his
second trip out as a brakeman.
