WOODBURY. QUITS
FEDERAL JOB

Without waiting for his term to ex-
pire April 6, William Woodburn, Unit
ed States attorney for Nevada, Sat
urday, prepared a letter of resigna-
tion to the attorney-general and a
communication to Senator Oddie tend
ering his office to his Republican
successor.
This action was taken following a
series of conferences with George
Springmeyer who Senator Oddie has
assured will be recommended by him
for the post "as soon as the vacancy
occurs" In his letter to the at
torney general Mr.. Woodburn states
that he desires to quit the office 30
that his successor can be appointed
and qualified not later than April l..
1t is understood that the forthcom-
ing term of the federal court at Car
son Cnty will be put off until Mr..
Woodburn's successor is in the har-
ness. Copies of the federal prose-
cutor's letters to his chief and to
Senator Oddie were sent to Judge
Harrington, states the Reno Gazette.
Mr.. Woodbrn's decision to quit at
this time was based, it Is understood.
on the likelihood of his being relieved
soon after the beginning of the term
of court should he have remained in
office until April 6. He is leaving as
a matter of convenience for his sue
cessor who, under the new ar
rangement will have an opportunity
to familarize himself with the pend
ing actions before they come before
the court and even beforethey are
presented to the grand jury.
The federal grand jury was to have
assembled this month but organiza-
tion was postponed originally because
of Judge Farrington's indisposition
and again becauses of the trend of
events as concerns the United States
attorneys office.
According to report Mr.. Wood
burn suggested to Mr.. Springmeyer,
who is slated to succeed him, that he
be allowed to remain in office until
after the coming term Of court and 1t
Is understood this arrangement was
with the approval of Judge Earring
ton. Mr. Springmeyer objected to
this, however, and told Mr.. Wood
burn he could see no reason why he
should not take over the office when
Woodburn's term expires, explaining
that of 1t was necessary to have the
latter's services, he would associate
him as a special prosecutor. Then
came Mr.. Wodburn's decision to get
out before the grand jury is brought
together.

FOWLER OUT FOR
DISTRICT JUDGE

Attorney-Genera1 L. B. Fowler an
nounced today his candidacy for
judgeship of the district comprising
Ormsby, Storey and Douglas counties
according to the Carson Appeal.
In an interview with respect to the
rumors that he would be candidate.
Fowler stated:
After twenty-seven years of active
practice of my profession judge
ship appeals to me. This is a very
attractive district having In 1t the
state library, and the counties of
the district being so readily assess
ible. The work of the office is so
limited that 1t can be carefully and
and expeditiously handled
Everything considered. view 1t
as one of the best judgeships, and
If am elected judge, l certainly
shall. enjoy holding the office and
discharging its duties. l have been
urged to make the race by~fespon-
sible people from the three counties
of the district / am assuredly much
pleased with their ardent support.
There is no reason which would
preclude my being candidate. The
field is free and any lawyer who de-
slres the place should unhesitatingly
exercise the freedom of becoming
direct primary aspirant."

MORE SNOW IS
REQUIRED

Though the water content of the
snow on the Truckee and Lake Tahoe
water sheds Is now about twenty per
cent normal with the prospects good
for its reaching forty per cent above
normal by April 1st. there is no
guarantee that water for irrigation
purposes will be over abundant this
summer, declared DR.. ]. f. Church,
authority on snow measurements in
the Sierras. who gave an illustrated
talk on snow conditions to the men,
bers of the Rotary Club at noon to-
day, according to the Reno Gazette.
'The depth of snow in the noun
tains means nothing" declared DR..
Church. 1T Is the water content of
the snow that We are interested In
and at present the water content of
the snow covering Is above normal,
but the level of Lake Tahoe is be-
low normal and 1t will take consider
able more snow than we have NV
to fill the lake to its capacity.
The snowfall this season has been
light In comparison with otherseasons
In water content The depth of the
snow In inches Is greater than 1t
has been for many ears.
AT present there is las inches
of snow at the summit containing
ffty-one inches of water At Tahoe
there is ninety inches containing
twenty-five inches of water"
DR.. Church explained how the
measurements were taken and dis
played numerous slides showing the
work done on top of Mount Rose and
various other places.
At the conclusion of his talk Chas.
A Norcross explained that through
his snow measuring work, DR..
Church had gained nation wide rec
ognition as an authority and DR..
Church explained that by means of
the figures obtained it was possible
to predict months In advance what
the run-off would be.

1t for considerable over half the
game. but their opponents went over
the top and held lead of some
twenty points until Wednesday night.
Two teams played the last night, W
Frey defeating Frevert by a few
points. The two captains finished the
game and although Hickey put 1t
over his opponent. his men were
too far behind for him to close the
gap.
The turnament created keen inter
est and big crowds have attended the
games from the beginning. The men

not matched. Following is the result

SPLENDID film
COMING TO REX

A complete trail" city, the aistori-
cal duplicate of Dawson City in 1897.
was built In Atrtic City, motion pic
ture suburb OF Port Henry, N. Y, for
the exterior scenes of THE Idol Of
the North" Dorothy Dalton's latest
Paramount picture which will be
shown at the Rex theatre Sunday
afternoon and night.
The story, by ]. Charleston Miller,
deals with the virile struggle for
life In the great Canadian Northwest
and afforded excellent oportunity for
picturesques photography.
For purposes of the picture Totem
City," was built. Almost over night
the Aurora Borealis saloon and dance
hall, the Ritz hotel, Brissac cabin,
and Bates cabin, sprang up like
magic. The river was bridged in one
place with typical wooden span
such as the gold seekers used In
1897. The. rugged beauty Of the
scene was enhanced by the heavy
snow that fell during the company's
stay to Port Henry and r. William
Neill, director was able to film many
effective exterior scenes for the
picture.
Artic City. the scene of the un-
usual activities OF the Dalton COM
pany, has a uniques place in motion
picture making. Nearly all of the
Alaskan and Canadian Northwest pic
lures are taken in or near the village
because the hills, the river and the
woods are geographically like Can
ada and the Alaskan trail.

HIGH SCHOOL
ACTIVITIES

The boys and girls basketball
teams returned Saturday and Sun
day from Reno after having wit
messed and taken part in the biggest
and best tournament ever held at
the University. Fourteen boys teams
and ten girls teams were entered.
The brand of basketball displayed
was the best ever seen at the high
school tournament In both the boys
and girls games. In most cases the
games ran true to the earlier dope
sheets" The boys teams reaching
the semi-finals were Sparks, Carson.
Reno and Tonopah. OF these, Reno
and Sparks played the final game
which resulted in one point victory
for Sparks, giving the cup to the rail-
road town for the first time in his
tory. In the girls field, Reno won
from the crippled Winnemucca team
In the semi-finals, while Douglas
lost OF the speedy Fallon team.
Fallon easily defeated the Reno girls
in the final game, winning by bigger
proportion than they had won against
Douglas. Fallon girls also carried
home the cup last year. The Gard
nerville girls easily won their first
two games against Sparks and Wells,
and were rated as the cleanest group
of players at the tournament, having
only three personal fouls called in
their three games. Particuler inter-
est was shown in the playing of
Grace Brockliss at side center many
people saying that she was the clev-
crest individual player the girls tour
nament produced
The boys team had hard luck in
drawing two very strong teams in
both the Senior and Junior cup race.
They lost their first game to Carson.
In their second game with Lovelock
they fere badly handicapped by the
illness of some of the players and
also lost this.
Yerington boys and girls won both
Junior cups. These were presented
to the winning teams in a new league
formed from ali the teams who lost
their first game.
The Douglas girls team will go
to Reno Friday, March 10th to meet
the Reno girls in the University gym
nasium as an opener to the Reno
Sacramento boys game. Considerable
interest will be manifested in this
game throughout the state as the
Reno and Douglas girls have taken
one game from each other and other
wise lost only to Fallon the state
championship. The results of the
game will determine which girls
team should be given second place
in the state.
Six weeks examinations were held
on Wednesday and Thursday OF this
week. There are only two more six
weeks periods before the close OF
the school term.
