"The Sands" has been reached. A
considerable distance remains to be
traversed before the rivers connect,

competent observers, that the june.

the flood stage in this city and can
be depended upon to continue to

THE ROAD DEMON"

To Tom Mix fans as well as to
all those who love the western mel
odrama, "The Road Demon" should
prove an excellent entertainment
1t is full of thrilling daredevil
stunts.
The story is really a reproduction
of the auto races, staged annually
between Los Angeles, California
and Phoenix, Arizona, with a love
affair interwoven in the plot. The
hero, son of wealthy Arizonan
ranch owner, is depicted as coming
into possession of a racing automo-
bile, by trading his blind horse for
it. With the uncomfortable racer
he nearly wrecks his fathers ranch,

THEATRE
HAS SPLENDID SERIAL

"The Leather Pushers," by H. c.
Wilmer, a serial in twelve parts
started at the American theatre last
evening and was greatly enjoyed by
a big crowd who welcomed the de-
parture from the usual in filmdom
Each part contains four rounds OF
prize ring fighting and the hero type
has been admirably chosen by those
who developed the films.
Men and boys, women and girls
all seemed to get unusual thrills out
of the first ring battle as shown
and future installments will un-
doubtedly draw big crowds. Each
installment, like the stories from
which they were adapted, stands out
alone and the movie fan does not
necessarily have to have a synopsis
of previous installments in order to
enjoy the pictures.

Romeo and Juliet as characterized

A government mail aviator, flying

nemucca this afternoon and by cir

to alight in this city. Local
people drove out by automobile to
the aviation field in the hope that
they could signal the airman, but he
had passed or to the east.
It is thought here that the aviator
was Lieutenant Goldberg, who is
one of two of Uncle Sans airmen

AGED |T|NERANT
|. PREACHER KILLED
Was Not walking" But Riding and
Was Run Over in Carlin Yards
Some Time Last Night;
Injuries We're Fatal

Elder w. F. Damewood, who Wis
tied Winnemucca Thursday and
spent the night here, after telling
the story Of his aim to walk from
San Francisco to Washington, DC,
was run over by train in the Car
lin yards last night, one leg being
severed above and the other below
the knee. He was picked up by
railroad employees and given first
aid, but died later.
1t is thought that the old man,
who claimed to be 62 years of age,
had slipped in attempting to Chamber
onto a passing east-bound train.
Damewood was almost blind, but
was otherwise a very vigorous and
well preserved man of his years.
During his stay in this city he
called at The Silver State office for
signature in book which he car
ried to record his entry into the
towns along his route of travel. He
spoke of wife who resides in San
Francisco and claimed to be walking
to the national capital as the result
Of a promise extended by a San
Francisco newspaper publisher to
care for the couple throughout the
remainder of their lives should he
make the 5000 miles Of distance
within $50 days. The fact that
Damewood came to an unhappy end
at Carlin, more than 100 miles east
of here on the same date that he
left this city would indicate that he
had abandoned walking in favor of
freight train riding.

The road committee of the chamber

thority to pursue the subject and
make a report to form the basis of
chamber Of commerce action at a
later time.
1t developed last evening that
there is no prospect of getting relief
from onerous labor conditions at
sheep plants in this county, unless
it should come through the intro
duction Of Mexican labor. The
administration at Washington has
postponed all projected revisions of
the rules under which immigration
is admitted into this country until

The matter Of providing a right
of-way for sheep of width of from
half mile to a mile and extending
from this city north to the Nevada
Oregon line, was taken up again for
discussion last night and the Sec
retary was instructed to take up
the project with the federal forestry
officials and the Southern Pacific
railroad company.

Chamber of Commerce Survey of
Local Housing Conditions Show
That Winnsmuccans Must
All Bsstir Themselves

The Pullman car company Of
fiicials advised the Humboldt Coun-
ty chamber Of commerce that it
will be impossible to provide cars to
care for the visitors who will be in
this city in attendance at the inter-
scholastic track meeting on next
Saturday, and at the good roads
convention that will be held here
on June 8 and 10. This announce
ment was made at the meeting of
the chamber of commerce held last
evening. Members of the enter
tainment committee also rendered
a report of the survey recently made
of the city to determine available
extra rooms In Winnemucca resi-
dences. It is urged as a matter
of necessity to take care of those
who will be this city's guests. Re-
newed overtures are to be made
local citizens by the chamber of
commerce authorities to secure a
listing Of rooms that will be fully
adequate to all needs.
It has been decided to serve a
banquet in the chamber of COM
merce rooms on the evening of
June 8 to the visitors who will be
here from towns in Idaho, Oregon
and California and from communi-
ties In the northern part of this
state. A splendid program is being
arranged for the evening affair, and
visiting speakers from many out
side places will have places.
Wednesday luncheons will be
abandoned until next fall as a re-
suit of the discussion INDUCED
last night. Difficulty in securing
speakers, and other activities that
go with the busy period of the year,
were urged as reasons for the ac-
tion.
A resolution from the Progressive
Business Mems club Of Elko, ask
ing that the membership of the local
commercial body endorse the Elko
Indian school project was read. A
committee was named to study the
subject and make recommendations
Discussion brought out the fact that
Winnemucca school district is now
caring for q aboriginal students
and that the federal government
pays 80 cents per day tuition for
each scholar. The Indian children
are taught by one teacher in a
separate room at the grade schools
and 1t is thought that the building
Of an Indian school at Elko would
attract many Of the Indian popula-
tion from this city with a conse-
quent loss to this community in eff
fective farm laborers. Winnie
mucca, like Elko, has a land with
drawal for Indian school purposes
that is unutilized. This withdrawal
lies close in to the southern limits
Of his city and has been maintained
unimproved by the federal authori-
ties for q number Of years.
H. X. Harvey, Of Paradise Valley,

ty commissioners for a road that
