arship rank are being carried on in
both the high and elementary
schools this week. The new semes-
ter commences Monday in both in

question, "Who is Emma Gold
man." by saying: "That's the fellow
they are trying to recall in PERISH
ing county at an election to be held

talk at the chamber Of commerce
rooms, to which everyone is invited.
He deals with subject matter which

ADDED TRAFFIC
|. TO CO OVER W.P.


General Freight Agent HUFF Of
the Western Pacific railroad COM
pany Il in this city today from his
headquarters at Salt Lake City. He
b looking up traffic for his road
and making . regular visit Of in
spection Of those matters which
come within his sphere.
Why it was that the expected
larger Utah coal shipments over the
Western Pacific did not develop is
explained by Mr.. HUFF as because
Of importations of bunker" coal
from Manehuria, Australia and
Wales. Bunker" coal is a grade
used on steamships and should not
be confused with coal for domestic
purposes. During recent months
many shiploads have come to the
Pacific coast from the countries
mentioned and it is this that has
clased q slackening in Western Pa
ciic business. That the Utah busi-
ness was confidently expected by
W.P. officials is proven by Mr..
Huff's statement that TOO new coal
cars were purchased and are now
ready for use.
Mr.. HUFF says, however, that busi-
ness is improving rapidly and that
lower freight rate on bunker"
coal i expected to have q salutory
effect in business volume. The rate
has been reduced by railroad Off
cials from 81 to $6 per ton on coal
from Utah to coast ports in antici-
patton that the lower rate will shut
out importations. The new rate is
effective this month and as soon as
present foreign supplies are used up
q marked difference should be no.
ticeable in railroad tonnage.
Asked about the division point
removal rumor, Mr.. Huff stated it
d all news to him, but that he Is
now making effort to secure infor-
nation on the subject.

A message was recorded yestsr-

less station at Bordeaux, France,
more than six thousand miles to the

ing range Of fifteen hundred miles.
Two intensifiers have been or

LITTLE SUE COHEN
LEGALLY ADOPTED

Sue Cohen, little daughter Of the
late Mrs. Lucia Cohen, has been
legally adopted by Silas Harris, q
well known and wealthy San Fran
cisco broker, who is an half-uncle
Of the little girl on her fathers
side of the family. It is said that
she is now in an environment which
guarantees her all the love and pro-
lection that should be any little
girls due in this world. A release
Of guardianship was executed by
Miss Grace Robbins, aunt Of the
child.
In advance Of the adoption and
following going to San Francisco
little Sue Cohen was the guest Of
Mrs. L. s. Meyers, a very intimate
friend Of the parents of the little
girl in their lifetimes. Under her
loving care she has been spared
the grief and loneliness which her
recent bereavement might otherwise
have brought to darken her ordin-
arily sweet disposition. Friends Of
the little girl in this city would
have been delighted to have taken
note Of the happiness which the hol-
iday season brought her through
the thoughtfulness Of her friends
in San Francisco who aided rela-
tives in dispelling the gloom from
her life.

PRESENT COLD SNAP
STOPS DOCTORS VISITS

Local authorities assert that the
present cold snap may be lacking
in salubrity, but that it has brought
an unusual degree of good health,
and that with very few exceptions
the residents of Winnemucca are
enjoying excellent health. Which
reminds one of the statement by
Steffansen, Arctic explorer, that
within the zones in the frozen north
unvisited by white men colds and
influenza are unknown among the
Eskimos.

SLIGHT SEISMIC WAVES
RECORDED IN wINNEMUccA

Although few people took note Of
the fact, yet the seismic disturb
ances recorded generally along the
Pacific coast at different hours Mon
day night were quite perceptible in
this city at slight intervals between
eleven o'clock and midnight Of the
same date. The waves were slight,
yet they sufficed to rattle windows
in lily built houses throughout this
city. A good many people, when
accosted with the interrogatory,
did you feel the earthquake?"
said: Goodness, no; l have all the
cracks in my house, including those
between sections Of windows, stuffed
with rags. Too cold nowadays to
keep any records on quakes."
