COUNCIL PERFECTs
SIDEWALK PLANS
Bids Called for Laying Walk to
High School; Little Volstead'
Ordinance is Discussed,
and Licenses Granted

Plans and specifications for the
laying of concrete sidewalks and
street crossings on the south side
Of East Fourth street and a portion
of Bridge street, as drawn by City
Engineer Tilden, were accepted
and approved by the city council
last night, and notice to bidders
who may contract for the work is
published in this issue of The Silver
State. 1t is probable that further
work of the same character will be
taken up by the council at a later
date this year, particularly as re-
fers to street crossings on Bridge
street.
The sidewalk to the high school
has been a problem before the coun-
Gil for many months and the fact
that it is to be brought to a sue
cessful conclusion this year creates
occasion for rejoicing by residents
Of East Fourth street and pupils
Of the high school, whose agitation
for the walk has been unceasing.
For a time it appeared that it
would be necessary for the city
council to pass an ordinance de-
claring the necessity for the walk
and assessing the cost to property
owners in the form of lien against
their property holdings. This has
been found unnecessary, however,
taxpayers affected having agreed
to voluntarily pay for the work to
be done. Effort will be made to
put in the sidewalks over several
blocks on East Fourth street at
minimum of expense, the city to
provide cement at cost and haul
sand and gravel free. This is to
be done to encourage property
owners in other sections of the city
to put in sidewalks.
Although Winnemucca has be-
come "clean city as regards boot
logging and vice in general, in COM
parisons to other cities, the council
last night discussed the advisability
of enacting little Volstead"
liquor and drug law patterned after
those of other cities whereby en-
forcement Of liquor and drug laws
is placed in the hands of the city
officials. A companion ordinance,
to empower the city police
judge to issue search an
other warrants and hear cases of
violation Of liquor and drug laws
was also discussed. These ordinan-
ces will be taken up again at the
next meeting of the council and
possibly passed. These ordinances,
If passed, would have the effect of
giving the city officials full power
to enforce laws and means of Sc
curing proper evidence for the con-
viction Of violators. It should be
stated, in connection with the state
ment that Winnemucca is a "clean"
city, to prevent misunderstanding,
that by "clean" it is not meant
that illicit liquor cannot be obtained
here, for it can be, with consider
able ease, if reports be true. But
bootleggers and similar characters
are carrying on their traffic in a
quiet manner considered by many
to be highly preferable to condi-

Sprinkler Out
One more sign that spring is
here was apparent this morning
when City Truck Driver Berk
brought out the sprinkling truck
and wetted down Winnemucca
streets. The activity was greatly
appreciated by Bridge street mer-
chants, who have been considerably
annoyed by the dust of auto traffic
during the recent days.

c. OF c. ACTIVE
IN MANY MATTERS
Communications. Received. From
Other Organizations on Matters
Affecting General Welfare
Of This City Read

Several new chamber of COM
merce activities were announced
by Secretary Theodore Grady this
moring, among them being the CO.
operative effort with the Pershing
County chamber of commerce to
secure express for this city on
Southern Pacific train No.. %, ar
irving here during the early MORN
ing hours. AS it is now express
packages are only received in
Winnemucca from the west over
the Southern Pacific on train No.
10, arriving late in the evening.
Both Western Pacific trains handle
express matter for this city how
ever. 1t is thought that if ar
rangements can be made whereby
No. % will carry express it will re-
suit in greater convenience to resi-
dents.
A communication has been re-
ceived by the chamber from the
intermediate Rate Association stat
ing that Examiner Diske has recon-
mended to the interstate commerce
commission that the applications Of
transcontinental railroads, for per-
mission to reduce freight rates on
shipments to the Pacific coast from
eastern points, be denied, on the
ground that such rates would be
discriminatory against interior job
bers and manufacturers. This mat
ter has been hotely contested by in
termountian business men and the
recommendation is considered a
distinct victory.
The Greater Carson City Club
has sent word that steps will be
taken to defeat the passage of the
Denison bill, which is considered a
menace to development of mining
in this state. The Reno chamber
of commerce has similarly gone on
record. The bill has already passed
the House or Representatives and
effort will now be made to fight it
in the Senate.
Secretary Grady is busy pre-
pairing for the road meeting to be
held in this city June 9-10 and from
day to day it evelops that great
interest is being manifested in the
occasion, particularly by those who
would be benefited by good road
to the northern portion of this
county. Idaho, Oregon and North
ern California road enthusiasts are
also taking keen interest in the road
meeting and it appears more and
more that a large number will be
in attendance.
Efforts to secure housing accom-
modaitnos for the students who will
be here May 20 to take part in the
state track meet are progressing
slowly, residents apparently being
in no hurry to return questionnaires
sent out by the chamber to de-
termine how many and where visi-
tors shall be domiciled for the oc-
casion. Work along this line will
be speeded up within the next few
days, however, with probable ade-
quate results.
C. w. Creel, director of agricul-
tural extension work in Nevada, is
to be the luncheon speaker to-
morrow, the meal being served by
the ladies of the Altar Society of
the Catholic church.

NEVADA MASONIC
OFFICERS FETED
w. A. Brown and L. C. Campbell,
Both of Winnemucca and Head
ing Branches of Masonry
in Nevada, Honored

Echoes of the recent official visit
ing trips of w. A. Brown and L. G.
Campbell, both of this city and re-
spective heads of the Knights Tenn
plars and F. & A. M, are contained
in state newspapers. Mr.. Brown re-
turned to his home here Saturday
after visiting the only other COM
manderies in the state, at Reno and
Goldfield, while Mr.. Campbell re-
turned yesterday after visiting nu-
merous lodges in the western por-
tion of the state. Mr.. Campbell will
visit lodges in eastern Nevada later
this month. Both report excellent
trips. The Reno Gazette gives an
idea of how they were feted, as
follows:
The Scottish Rite Glee Club, or
ganized some months ago and
trained by Prof. Charles Haseman
of the university, has become
notable feature lately of all big
Masonic gatherings. The club made
its first appearance outside of the
Scottish Rite bodies at Sparks the
night of the dedication of the new
Masonic Temple there and since
then has been active at many af-
fairs. 1t sang with the regular
choir at the Federated church on
Easter Sunday, when De Witt Clin-
ton commandery of the Knights
Templar attended, was present at
the reception in Reno lodge No.
13, when the grand master, L. G.
Campbell, of Winnemucca, paid his
official visit, then accompanied him
on his visit to Wadsworth lodge at
Sparks and last Friday night went
to Carson where it sang several
songs at the reception given by
Carson lodge No. 1, to Grand Mas
ter Campbell.
) The Carson session. was a great
success, speeches being made by
the grand master, the grand Of
ficers and by Past Grand Masters
Will David, A. o. Piercy, T. J.
Steinmetz, George ellison and Past
Senior Warden Sidney Foster. After
lodge a banquet was enjoyed. Over
two score masons went to Carson
from Reno as visitors. Reno lodge
members are taking part in all
Masonic affairs in the neighbor-
hood and other visits are contem-
plated. Worshipful Master V. M.
Henderson of Reno is setting the
example, as he accompanies the
members on all these trips. He is
also an active member of the scot
tish Rite Glee Club.
Last Friday night was a notable
occasion in the years history of
De Witt Clinton Commandry No. L,
Knights Templar, for Grand Com
mander William A. Brown paid his
official visit, coming from Winnie
mucca for the purpose. He was
received by ]. S. Orr, eminent COM
mander of De Witt Clinton, and
the officers and members in full
Templar uniform, and Past Grand
Commander Walter j. Harris helped
in the ceremonies which were very
impressive. A Templar dish was
presented to the grand commander,
who made a thoughtful address in
response to the welcoming talk by
Eminent Commander Orr, and short
speeches were made by Sir Knights
Walter J. Harris, P. G. c.; William
Sutherland, P. E. c.; Ed. Brown,

MAY DIRECT
RAILSTRIKE
FROM CANADA
Prospect Looms Up So AS To
Evade Federal Laws of
United States
TO INCREASE SLASH
Labor Heads Ask That Ballots
Be Sent in as Soon as
Possible
(By the Associated Press)

Chicago, June 12-While additional
wage cuts threatened to slash anoth-
er $40,OO0,O00 from the payrolls ol
the carriers it was rumored today any
rail strike growing out of present
threats may be directed and financed
from Canada to evade the decision Ol
the United States supreme court
caused by their members.
Leaders of the rail unions said to be
contemplating the move viewed the
establishment of Canadian head
quarters as legitimate because the
unions are international organizations
Financial penalties in case of a walk
out could thus be averted, 1t was
said.
Increase Slash
The expected wage reduction order
will increase the slash in railway
workers wages to approximately
s15O,OOO, 900 a year Clerks, signal
men. stationary firemen oilers and
marine department employees will
ioin the shopmen and maintenance OF
way employees as victims Of the new
cut.
Strike ballots to the 100000 rail
way shopmen were accompanied by
the following letter:
"Every possible effort should be
made to obtain the vote OF every en-
ploye eligible. This ballot will be
completed as soon as possible ant
there must be no stop of work.
Time for Action
"This is the time for action and
not talk or unnecessary delay. The
railway employees department desires
that every ballot shall be in Chicago
at the earliest possible moment"
Clerical forces of the Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy railroad, number
ing 5000, are said to have agreed in
March to accept wage cuts averaging
between2 and s per cent. The agree
ment was reached Independent OF thc
railroad labor board. The minimum
cut was one cent an hour but ran
higher in many cases. Clerks recelv-
ing $40 month in 1917 were cut
from their 1920 wages to $3.50. The
minimum under federal control was
$3.50.
The application for pay cuts Tor
c, arks made to the Failroad labor
hoard asked for reductions running
from 10 to Is per cent.

AGAIN ISSUE
Nelson Admits Demanding
Miklethun Withdraw During
Discussion of Loan for Equity
DEFENDS HIS POSITION
Says as Manager of l. V. A. it Is
His Duty to See Bank is Man
aged According to I. WA.

The issue of political banking has
again been raised in campaign.
For three years anti-league speak.
ers attacked political banking at the
Bank of North Dakota; the league
speakers now are charging the pres.
cnt anti-league administration with
political banking, and H. L. Stegner
gubernatorial candidate, declares
there will be political banking as
long as the bank is maintained.
Charges were made recently by c.
w. Reichert, president of the Equity
Packing Plant Of Fargo, to the effect
that the present Industrial Commits
sion promised a loan to the company,
that Theodore. Nelson, l. V. A. mana
GER. demanded as a consideration
that Senator John Miklethun, men,
ber of the board of directors, with
draw as a candidate for the state SEN
ate and that when Miklethun would
not do so the loan was refused.
Nelson Admits Request
Theodore Nelson, in a statement,
admits that he did demand that Mix
lethun withdraw. He asserts he fur
ther demanded that the whole board
of directors resign.
my suggestion was that Mr.. Mix
lethun should withdraw and then that
some l. V. A., either one of these two,
or some other be agreed on between

would be in favor of continuing the
