THREE SERIOUS
QUESTIONS

There's going to come a day
when you viii be glad to retire
from work. Are you going to
have sufficient income to re-
tire on, or will need for money
force you to plod along in har-
ness till you drop?
Money won't spring up like
mushrooms then to provide for
your sunset years.
If you are planning to draw
on something then you must
save it now.
Why not let the same life in
surance policy which protects
your family provide for your
future?
We have a good Travellers con-
tract which combines life insur-
ance with an income after age
IS, at a very reasonable rate.

Veteran of Seven Wars.

Robare Bruce MacGregor of Seat
tie, Wash, soldier of fortune who
has spent the greater part of his 4S
years drifting around the world look
ing for chances to fight, recently OBJ
tanned jobs for 236 former soldiers.
In MacGregor's career he found wars
seven different times and jumped in
to them all. His last war was the
one where the Allies won from the
Germans.
He served with the original Princess
Pat regiment which numbered 1903
men in 1914. Eleven of those 1,093
are now alive. Two of the eleven
can walk. One of them is MacGregor.
Before the World War MacGregor
fought in the Philippines as his bit
in the Spanish-American War. The
Boxers started mixing it up in China
and he was off to that fracas. The
Natal Rebellion cropped up in South
Africa. MacGregor made the jump
from China and landed in the middle
of that war. The Matabele Uprising
and the Jameson Raid followed.
Twelve medals, four decorations
and wounds which keep him constant
ly under the doctors care are his
spoils.
Despite his disabilities he still
fights. Just now he is giving the
unemployment problem a battle in
his home city, Seattle. Besides that
he has adopted and is educating a
fifteen year old boy.

CONSOLIDATED COPPER MINES
RESUME OPERATIONS TODAY

An Associated Press dispatch yes
terday contained important news to
Nevada, and especially to Ely and
adjoining towns, in announcing re-
sumption of work at the plants of
the Nevada Consolidated Copper
Company, which have been closed
down for many months. The an
nouncement also has an important
bearing upon industrial and business
conditions in the United States,
tending to show that the expected
revival is rapidly materializing. The
dispatch was dated at New York and
said:
Resumption of operations at the
Utah, Ray, Chino and Nevada Con-
solidated mines will begin tomorrow,
said a statement issued today by
Charles Hayden, chairman of the
finance committee of the companies.
He stated that telegraphic in
structions had been forwarded to
the managers to that effect. Pro-
duction at first will be on a small
scale but will be gradually increased
to fifty per cent of capacity.

LAST FIRE ALARM WAS
SENT IN IN JANUARY

The members of Winnemucca's
fire department feel elated over
the fact that during February and
March no fire alarms were sent in
in this city to disturb the even
tenor of their ways. January was
featured by three alarms and con-
siderable property loss and it is
claimed that fires comes in cycles
in which event the people of this
city have been exempted from fire
loss throughout a period that is
generally considered unusual.
1t may be the visit of Jay w.
Stevens, chief of the Pacific Coast
fire prevention bureau and the pro-
paganda set abroad by Fire Chief
Guy Asbury served to turn the local
population into a careful way of
handling fire and fire hazards. The
two-month period has served to il
lustrate. the fact that fires can be
prevented if everybody lends a hand
and Chief Asbury calls attention
to the apparent truism that con-
tinued care will result in further
immunity from disastrous blazes.
Spring time is officially here, even
though not SO in a meteorological
sense, and it will not be long until
premises will be dry and quick to
take fire. For this reason it is
urged that householders generally
residing in this city shall be pru-
dent and keep their places clear
of rubbish.

SCRAPINC OF STREET SHOWS
IDEAL GRAVEL SUB-SURFACE

Winnemucca's streets are rapidly
being put into excellent shape, three
very slight snowstorms during the
nights of the past week serving ad-
mirably to put the earth and gravel
into workable condition and serving
further, by mud puddles thus Gre
ated, in pointing out low spots
requiring attention. Bridge street
is in especially good condition, the
scraper being used to skim off a
layer of mud two or three inches
deep, below which it was found the
gravel had formed into an almost
perfect hardpan. One motorist put
it today, "You can go 100 miles an
hour along Bridge street now" The
surplus earth is being hauled away
as rapidly as possible and after that
is accomplished the "silent police
men" will probably be put in place
to spoil the motorists fun. One
street remains, however, upon which
work should be done, and that is
West Fourth from Bridge to Ne
larkey. Here, because of greatly
increased traffic due to the recent
building of the postoffice at Fourth
and Melarkey, the street has been
subjected to severe usage and it
may be found necessary to prac-
tically re-make the roadbed.

IMPORTANT GOLD STRIKE
IN TEN-MILE DISTRICT

Newt See is in this city today
from the group Of claims in the Ten
Mile district owned and operated by
the See brothers and carries with
him some high grade rock taken
from a discovery made yesterday.
Free gold abounds in the samples
and those who have taken note of
the rock are reminded of the period
some years ago when mining ac-
tivities in this county resulted in
production of extensive gold values.
The See brothefs are among a
considerable number now operating
in the Ten Mile district and other
important discoveries have been made
in recent times. Mining men who
have watched the progress of af-
fairs in the county's several mining
districts express the belief that the
present year will see a revival of
activities.

WINNEMUCCA COAL SUPPLY
WILL MEET ALL DEMANDS

The threatened nationwide strike
of union coal mine workers became
effective last night in all parts of
the United States and Canada and
within a few days it is believed
that all non-union miners will have
Joined in the attempt to enforce
wage and other union demands.
There is said to be a coal supply in
this city ample for needs over a
period of several weeks and advices
in the hands of Winnemucca dealers
assert that the strike will probably
not extend into Utah, where most
of the supply used here is mined.
The single thing that causes ap-
prehension in local trade circles is
the fact that the federal authorities
may intercede to divert the Utah
coal production to eastern points
to fill the void that may be oc-
casioned by the tieup, in which event
Nevada towns may have to go short
of coal rations.

sTOCKMEN TO Be
AIDED At ONCE
Loan Association to Participate in
Benefits of War Finance Corr
poration is Now Being
Organised Here

The stockmen of the counties of
Humboldt, Elko, Eureka, Lander
and Pershing, are to benefit from
the activities of the war finance
corporation in advance of July 1st,
according to announcement made by
Senator Sheehan upon his return
from San Francisco yesterday. The
organization of loaning association
is now being effected, this matter
being in the hands of attorneys at
this time. Capital stock to the
amount of 100000 has been fully
subscribed within the five counties
and it is believed that the loan as
sociation will be completed and
functioning within the next two
weeks.
Originally projected by Senator
Sheehan to cover all Nevada, lack
of interest elsewhere made curtail-
inent of plans necessary, with the
result that the activities of the
organization will be confined to
northern Nevada. Moneys secured
will necessarily have to be applied
for in advance of July 1, for on
that date the War Finance Corpora
tion will no longer be able to ex-
tend the aid now being sought.
Senator Sheehan points out that
the loan association will have power
to disburse $500, 900 within the five
counties and that this aggregated
sum will go to the relief of the
stock industry. Loans are to be
granted for one year with a two
year renewal privilege and the rate
of interest will be seven and one
half per cent per annum. Money
advances will be made upon live
stock and the owners must give the
loan association favoring them chat
tel mortgages on this form Of Sc
curity.
Upon the completion of the pre-
liminary organization plans a meet
ing will be called to be held in this
city. A board of directors will then
be named and directing heads desig-
mated. In all likelihood this city
will be made the headquarters for
the loan association now being
formed, which will be known as the
Northern Nevada Loan Association.

LOCAL CHAMBER Of
COMMERCE WIRES
And Advises Nevada's Conversational
Delegation to Use Efforts to
Defeat the Denison Bill
Pending in Congress

The Humboldt County chamber of
commerce held special meeting
last evening to consider the Denison
bill, now pending in the House of
Representatives with considerable
assurance Of early enactment into
law, and the text Of the bill was
explained by Attorney L. G. Camp
bell who gave it the significance
previously related in The Silver
State. It would be, according to
those in attendance at the meeting
held last evening, a most detri-
mental piece of legislation insofar
as Nevada interests are concerned,
and protesting wires were dis
patched this morning to the men,
'bers of Nevada's delegation. Secre-
tary Theodore Grady has also sent
letters to all commercial organi-
zations within this state urging CO.
operation with Humboldt County
chamber of commerce in protesting
the Denison proposal.
District Judge J. A. Callahan,
president of the local chamber,
urged immediate action.
The following is the wording of
the kilograms that have been sent
forward to the members of Ne
vada's congressional delegations:
"Nevada's mines have contributed
hundreds Of millions of dollars to
the unbuilding of other states and
cities and are still continuing to
do SO. Gross injustice will result
il restrictions are placed upon the
sale of stocks of legitimate mining
enterprises. We urge you to use
every possible effort to prevent the
passage of any provision in the
Denison bill which would prevent
the sale of worthy Nevada mining
stocks in other states.

Chamber of Commerce.

mo work, no eats or dancing"
Cleanup activities will stop long
enough to allow interclass compe-
tition in athletics which win be par
ticipated in by about thirty-five Of
the girls Of the school. Considerable
interest exists in local minds at
this time and a good sized crowd
will undoubtedly be present to see
the girls 60 through their PAGES.
The boys interclass athletic COM
petition will occur q week later and
participants will number about
thirty, said Prof. Scott this morning.
Contestants in all events win In
clude those who will represent the

WORK ON HOTEL
TO START SOON
Six Weeks VIII See Thie City's
Biggest Structure Under Way
According to Announce
ments Made Yesterday

Announcements have been made
that Winnemucca's projected hotel,
to occupy the site of the Eldorado
hotel, destroyed by fire several years
ago, has been fully financed and
that the resumption of work on the
big edifice will be undertaken early
next month. This cheering news
comes from Senator Sheehan, cash
ier of the First National bank,
and the keen interest maintained
in the Winnemucca public relative
to the enterprise is reflected in
improved morale throughout this
little city. The entire summer will
be consumed in construction work
and the architects plans are ex-
pected here within the next few
days.
Senator Sheehan has given no
word as to the height of the pro-
jected building. It will, however,
be varied slightly from the plans
in mind when work was discontinued
two years to await a more pro-
pitious building time. The ground
floor will be given over to new
banking quarters for the First Ma
tional, lobby, and a rental store
room will also probably be pro-
vided. Upper floors will be given
over to guest rooms and construc-
ton will be absolutely fireproof in
character. In other words when the
hotel edifice is ready for occupancy
it will be of type that its de-
struction by fire will be impossible.

PIUTE WOMAN TOOK
HER OWN LIFE TODAY

Lula Oppenheim, twenty year old
Piute girl who has been employed in
different Winnemucca households
and was generally liked by both
the white and aboriginal residents
of the community, killed herself
at her home on West Fourth street
this afternoon. A 5000 rifle was
used by the respondent girl, death
being almost immediate.
The bullet entered the body on
the left side, passing through and
on up through the tent in which the
girl lived together with her brother,
forming a gruesome sight for those
of the curiously inclined in this city
who made the trip out to the scene
of the tragedy.
County authorities visited the scene
Immediately and made an investi-
cation, finding a note from the girl,
which is more or less incoherent, but
is taken to explain the suicide. The
note is written in a very legible
hand and is as follows:
Mother and Lucy don't like me.
You are not my mother anyway. l
suppose you are glad that you never
see me anywhere. When l step in
house you look cross at me all the
time. You don't like me. l am
going to leave this summer. Only
/ care for my brother Harry"
The note was unsigned. The OPP
penheims are generally held in es-
TEEN by local people. Among the
relatives left is a little sister suf-
fering from tuberculosis and for this
unfortunate the Winnemucca gram
mar school student body has been
buying milk throughout the winter
period.

PET COYOTE CAUSES
CONSIDERABLE FRIGHT

A pet coyote, released by family
down the valley about year ago,
has taken up his headquarters in
the eastern environs of this city
and his apparent disposition to make
friends with passerby has caused a
good deal of apprehension in the
minds of travellers. The urge of an
empty stomach and the fact that
he once enjoyed a cordial relation
ship with humankind prompts the
coyote to attempt friendly exchanges
with those who pass along the high
way leading out of this city to the
east.
A few days ago he approached
party of. Winnemuccans and to
the minds of all members of the
contingent they were confronted by
rabid coyote, of course. Haste
was invoked to get away from a
situation that was seemingly threat
ening. Yesterday Dave Abel, driv-
ing east, encountered the coyote.
The animal showed evidences of
good fellowship and good health and
Mr.. Abel came to the conclusion
that he had been tanned earlier and
was trying to renew his previous
status. He walked up to within
a short distance of Mr.. Abel's car,
went into the brush by the roadside
and emerged again, following Mr..
Abel for a considerable distance.
His actions were so unlike those
of the wild coyote that Mr.. Abel
concluded at once that he had met
up with pet and upon returning
to this city made inquiry and learned
that some time ago a family west
of this city had lost their coyote
and concluded that the one now
causing SO much concernation in
this community is the pet in ques-
ton.
