GOVERNMENT ARTESIAN
EXPERT IN OROvADA

Kirk Bryan, expert Of the United
States geological survey, was an
arrival here this morning from Clay
ton, New Mexico, and left this
afternoon with Farm Bureau Agent
Joe Wilson for Orovada, where q
report is to be made on the pos
sibility of the bringing in. of an
artesian well.
Mr.. Bryan's coming has been
looked forward to with great an
ticipation on the part Of ranchers
in the Orovada section, as well as
those from surrounding territories
who feel sure that artesian waters
can be secured at comparatively
shallowe depths, the securing of this
water meaning much to the future
of those districts. So sure are the
residents Of Orovada that this water
can be made available that they are
paying the greater portion of the
expenses of bringing the expert to
that place, and that the experiment
will not be abandoned until it il
proven that the project is futile !,

STRONCHEART, POLICE DOG,
STAR IN "THE SILENT CALL

Among the many features of in
terest which are booked at the
American theatre none should give
greater entertainment than "The
Silent CALL" which comes tonight
and tomorrow. The story is
adapted from one which appeared
in a popular magazine offers a
dramatic plot that involves a num-
ber of human actors and also the
Characterization of remarkable
dog, half wild and half domesti-
Gated, enacted by Strongheart, the
most famous police dog in the
world-a dog who served his coun-
try in the late war.
The back ground of the story is
the Sierra mountain region which
has been transferred to the screen
in all its impressive grandeur. The
action comprises a series of thrills
which develops from self-sacrifice
the saving of human lives by the
dog, and the punishment of those
who are dishonorable. It unfolds a
tense line Of melodramatic moments
all of which build the keenest
suspense. And the beautiful back
grounds are among the most inn
pressiye ever caught by the camera.

HIGH CLASS MUSIC BY
HOWARDS is ENJOYED

Manager Harry Oastler Of the
American theatre has satisfied him.
self for all time that Winnemucca
people are lovers of high-class
music. His proof in the matter
was found in the generous applause
of an audience in the theatre last
Saturday night which listened to
violin playing by Bob Howard, ac-
companied on the piano by Mrs
Bob Howard. Their program was
classic, interspersed by popular mel.
odies. While Mrs. Howard was un.
seen and heard only as an &C
companist, her playing at once in
dicated she is an artist of sole
ability. Mr.. Howard displayed un'
usual violin technique and is pos
SCISSOR of wonderful ear for yiolir
tone qualities.

NINETY DAYS IN
JAIL FOR GUARDS
Two Young Men Given Stiff Sent
snce After Pleading Guilty to
Charge of Carrying Con-
cealed Weapons

Ninety days in the county jail
was the sentence given this after
noon by Judge James Ritchie,
acting as police judge in the alb
sence Of Thos. Shone, to two young
men giving the names Of Gordon
E. Howard and julius M. Woods,
both having pleaded guilty to n
charge of carrying concealed
weapons.
The two young men were ar
rested at the Southern Pacific de-
pot last night by Game Warden
Jack Kirwin, his attention having
been called to the fact that the
two, having just alighted from a
west-bound train, had been seen to
be carrying guns. They were taken
to the local sheriff's office by Ker-
win where they were lodged for
the night, their hearing being called
for this morning.
When called upon by Justice
Richie for testimony in defense of
their case both declared that they
had recently been discharged from
the army and one stated that he
had wife and a baby to support.
On account of the scarcity of en-
ployment they declared they had
found it necessary to engage as
guards at Carlin, and after having
been discharged there, had started
west to secure similar employment.
That they had not reached a post
office in time to mail their guns
was given as explanation for their
having carried them without q per-
NIT to do so. Many smiles of ap-
proval were noted on the faces Of
local striking shopcraft men who
were in attendance to hear the sent
ence.

SATURDAY TAG DAY
FOR SWIMMERS
Tags to Be Sold by Children to HelF
in Reducing Deficit Brought
About by Building of the
Local Swimming Pool

Facing a good-sized deficit oc-
cassioned by operation and improve
ment of the community swimming
pool located in the rear of the
Episcopal church, Rev. Sterling j.
Talbot and his church associates
have decided upon a tag day as a
means of raising funds to meet the
accruing obligations.
Next Saturday, August 10, is the
day set for the sale of tags, the
lapel indicators of civic spirit to be
distributed by boy and girl teams.
The price to be paid for the tags
is to be left up to the purchaser,
to be decided, as Rev. Talbot puts
it, "by their opinion as to what the
swimming pool has been worth to
the community" Prizes Of suffici-
ent value are to be offered to excite
competition and awarded to the
boys and girls who bring in the
largest amounts in the boxes to be
provided as receptacles for money
secured by the sale Of tags.
It has often been stated that the
swimming pool is of inestimable
value to Winnemucca, in that il
keeps a large proportion of young
people from swimming in the dan
gerous Humboldt river, which regu.
larly claims at least "a victim q
year" In addition to this the poo
is valuable to the peace of mind OF
local mothers, who say they fee
greatly relieved to know that their
children are safe in the pool rather
than taking chances in the river
Therefore it is expected that the
response to the tag sale next Sat
urday will be generous. In addi.
tion to a deficit piled up by operat-
ing expense and improvements
there is yet debt Of $815 to be
met which represents balance
due on the original cost of con-
structing the pool.
Rev. Talbot's announcement Of the
tag day plan was communicated te
The Silver State in the form Of 9
letter which follows:
August 15, 1922
To the Editor of The Silver State:
Many citizens of Winnemuccs
have expressed great appreciation
Of the value to the community OF
the swimming pool we have con.
Quoted this summer. Anyone who
has visited the pool must have beer
impressed by the happiness of the
boys and girls swimming and learn
ing to swim, and l am sure that
the whole community is interested
in this project. The receipts from
admission charged have not beer
sufficient to meet current expense.
and necessary improvements. Or
Saturday, August 10, We are plan
ming to hold Tag Day, for the
benefit Of the swimming pool fund
Money will be collected by boys ant
girls, and it is hoped that the ap
probation already expressed by
word of mouth will be heartily
seconded from heart and pocket
book.
Sincerely yours,
STERLING j. TALBOT.
