gonne Alleys Big Crowd
on Hand

Meyer Larson, a member of the
Argonne bowling team, tied William
J. O'Hara Of the U. c. bowling out
fit, for first place in the one game
turkey tournament on the Argonne

key.
On Saturday night Larson rolled
five games POI, 2D6, 217, 204 and
then tied O'Hara's mark. The first
high score rolled in this tourney is
credited to Mike 500, crack south
paw pitcher, who turned in a 20S
score and Henry Simonsen followed
with a 211 score. Then came
O'Hara's exhibition which gave him
the lead.
Many of the leading bowlers in
this section of the state visited the
Argonne alleys on Saturday night in
an effort to erase the name of the
present leaders from the board

come alleys has planned a new sys-
| tenn of running this tourney and that
is the presence of the leaders name
on the bulletin board only instead OF
last years plan of having the ten

Tomorrow night the teams rep
resenting the office and transporta-

| ing set of a series.

IN almost entirely by the tourney

FIRE DEPARTMENT TO j.
CHECK wEXT|hGU|SHERS

In the general course of the work
of the Ely volunteer fire department
an effort Is now being made under
the direction Of Acting Fire Chief
Earl Bath to obtain a complete and
reliable record of all fire extinguish-
ers wherever they may be located
throughout the city.
AT the expense OF the taxpayers
some years ago a number OF these
extinguishers were purchased ana
placed in different business houses,
where they would be readily accessi-
BILE in case of fire.
By means of these extinguishers
the work of the fire department,
which has on many occasions saved
the property owners and business
houses from fire loss, has been aided
to a great extent.
Since the installation of the extin-
guishers many have been moved as
business changes took place and the
department is at present handicap
ped by not being readily informed as
70 their exact location or being able
to lay their hands on n without the
necessity OF inquiry, which means a
loss of time during which a fire that
might be otherwise almost immedi-
ately checked may gain considerable
Roadway.
Another feature is the fact that
unless the extinguisher is properly
locked after and the chemicals re-
newed 1t may not be In working or
der at the minute 1t is needed.
In this work the department is en-
titled to the cooperation of the bust

WHY q

ARE BIRDS EGGS OF
DIFFERENT coLoRs .

0NE of Natures very wise pro-
~ visions is in equipping all living
things with protection of some kind
against their enemies. The larger
animals are able, by reason of their
strength, to give a good account of
themselves in combat. Birds and
many OF the smaller animals depend
principally upon the rapldity of their
movements. But there is still another
and most effective means of self
preservation known as protective col
Grafton"
Snakes form an excellent illustra-
ton of this, as do many varieties Of
fish. Their scales are so colored that
they blend In with the surrounding
rocks or the shadows of the water,
making them almost invisible TO the
eye, In fact, 1t is only when one of
these protectiyely-colored animals
moves that its presence Is apparent.
This same principle Is responsible for
the different colors of birds eggs. The
mother bird is not able TO fight ag-
gressively, so she has to seek refuge
in flight. During the time that she Is
away from the nest, either while seek
ing safety from her enemies or while
looking for food. the eggs must be
protected In some manner Ii is for
this reason that they r colored to
blend in with the surroundings in
they are laid-some of them
spotted because they r laid in the
or among pebbles. others buff
or green to match the ma
terial of the nest.

A gradual moderation of the hot

tufe s ran more uniform in the south.
and the change to cooler nights was
slow In the west portion. There was,
however, q slight falling OFF of the

Temperatures were Is follows: Reno,

grees on the 5th; Modena. 81 degrees
on the 5th. Scattered showers oc-
Cured during the first three days,
averaging from light in the northern
valleys to moderate at higher eleva-
tions and in the south.
Ranch work progressed wei, aud
the growing season Is still considered
good where irrigation Is praetieed
The continued heat has not been ia
vorable to the proper development
of potatoes and small grains. but on
the other hand the fresh winds Of
the last few days have been good for
any wheat where rust was progress

For the state as a whole the m

MG|LL COMMENTATOR
IS DESTROYED BY FIRE

tCeNflNI Ell From PAGE ONE.)
danger became apparent and stood in
readiness during the progress of the
fire. Chief Surgeon r. A. Bowdle,
with the medical corps of the organ
ization, was on hand, but fortunately
such service IA not required.
For several days after the fire the
smoke could be seen rising from
spots on the mountain where the fire
still smouldered, and down In thu
ruins of the big mill the steel re-
manned not and the smoke which as
cended a few feet above the debris
gave eyidenc of the difficulty which
had been experienced by tho fire
fighters from the terrific heat when
the flames were raging. as we'll as
the length of time required before the
fire could be completely extinguished.
While the employees of the Nevada
Consolidated are busy clearing the
site for the new mill many interested
spectators look on, amazed not only
at the havoc which can be wrought
In a few hours, but likewise at what
can be accomplished by energy and
cooperation.
Some feeling of disbursement
naturally followed the fire. but what
ever spirit, of pcssimism was at first
implanted was quickly dispelled and
replaced with a spirit or optimism
when all matters were taken into
consideration and from an authorita-
tive source anne the glad .idings
that the mill would be rebuilt imme.
diately. Business men who at first
entertained the view that a period OF
depression might follow by the clos
ing down OF the big plant rejoiced
when they learned that the work OF
reconstruction would commence i'm
mediately and that the setback was
not serious.
Much now depends upon the peo-
pie of the district in general, Natu-
rally all desire a return TO produc-
ton by the company and the active
steps taken by the management of
the copper company before the gi-
gantie mass OF twisted steel and
wrecked machinery had time TO cool
proves e~onclusively that the organ
ilation is equally anxious in that re-
spect.
General business has steadily I'm
proved since the resumption Of oper-
ations at the mines and smelter, and
as additional men have been put to
work the Increased flow in all chan
nels of business has been noticeable.
While some few employees drew
their time Immediately after the fire
and left the district the number was
comparatively small and no men have
been laid off. Some changes In the
employment of the men heretofore
working at the mill must necessarily
be made. but those whose jobs were
wiped out by the fire a readily find
employment In the other lines of
work nov necessary and the large
number of craftsmen that Will be re-
quired to build the lev mill will sub
stantially add to the payroll.
The plain duty of all the people In
the district today Is to declare war on
idleness and those who refuse to con-
tribute In every effort directed to-
ward the return to production should
be regarded Is slackers. BY this
method an era OF prosperity will be
Immediately ushered in and soon the
conflagraton of July Q will be only a
matter OF history.
