LUNCHEON
TO HOLD MUCH INTEREST

Tom King, county agent for
White Pine county, with head
quarters in Ely, will be the speaker
at the chamber of commerce lunch
con tomorrow. He is very inter-
esting young man and the fact
that he consented to talk here at
the weekly luncheon affair has been
entirely acceptable to the people
Of this community who look for
ward to his effort with keen antici-
patton.
The luncheon will be served by
the women of the Episcopal guild
in this city and announcement has
been made that the net proceeds
will go into the municipal swimming
pool fund. This fact alone should
form sufficient incentive for every
body to turn out and give their
patronage to the entirely laudable
enterprise.

RENO MUSIC
DEALER SEES GOOD TIMES

J. D.. Mariner, prominent Reno
music dealer, spent several days
in this city recently on his way to
his home from a trip to Elko coun-
ty towns. He has covered much
of the state during the late weeks
notes a renewed confidence in the
public mind in the affairs that make
for prosperity. The volume of bust
ness in his line is constantly in
creasing, he asserts, and he thinks
carries an argument for better
times. At Wells Mr.. Mariner sold
an expensive orchestran.
Eastern Nevada residents are in
tensely loyal to Nevada tradesmen,
he asserts, and stand out in this
regard in refreshing contrast to
many of the west-state residents
who are not always discriminating
in this policy too frequently for
the good of the states best inter-
ests buy from California retailers.
Mr.. Mariner was accompanied on
his last trip by Herbert Belger,
piano tuner, and many orders were
executed in this city He left Sun
day evening for his home, expecting
to make stops at Inlay and Love-

WELL KNOWN YOUNG.
WOMAN PASSED ON
Generally Beloved Young Woman
Passed on at Family Home in
This City Sunday After ILL.,
ness of Several Months

The passing of Corine Olecheia,
daughter of Mrs. Victoriana Rada,
occurred at the family home at
237 West Sixth street Sunday night
following an illness that started
several months ago. The young
woman was % years of age and
native of San Jose, Lower Cali
fornia where the family formerly
resided. She was highly esteemed
by large circle of friends and
deeply beloved by those of the i'm
mediate family.
Surviving relatives are the mother
and sterfather, one sister, Fina Ole
cheia, and three brothers, Vedal,
j. V. and Edward Olecheia.
The parents own stock ranches
in the DEMO vicinity where the
family home is maintained away
from this city.
Requiem mass will be said for
the deceased at the Catholic church
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
Father Hugo Meisekothen will have
charge. Interment will be made in
the Catholic cemetery.

The River
The river has been at the 8.2
foot mark at the bridge in this
city for many days and the threat
ened flood seems to be delayed.
In fact opinion differs in Elko
county where the seasonal runoff
of the Humboldt originates in large
part whether there is to be flood
this year. Some of the old settlers
up that way profess to believe
that the river will be no higher
this year than last while others
have the notion that a new high
mark will be established. After
all is said and done the stage of
the river is very much dependent
upon the kind of weather that will
be rendered northern Nevada by
the forces that control the matter.

RAILROAD BUILDER
SUICIDES ON COAST
George L. Davis, the Man Behind
Move to Give Nevada an Outlet
on the North Concludes That
Life is Not Worth While

George l.. Davis, the man who
gave northern Nevada residents
hope that a railroad would connect
this territory with the Idaho farm
ing districts, thus providing a cut
off from the northwest to the
southwest that would have inestim-
able strategic value, killed himself
a few days ago by jumping into
the Pacific ocean near San Fran
cisco. Marks found on his body
indicated probable foul play, but
Investigations later showed them
to have been received by Davis
in his plunge over the San Mateo
ocean cliffs.
Davis was president of the or
ganization known as the Idaho Gen.
trail railroad and was a national
figure in railroad circles.
The last big work of the man
was the putting through of the Pa
cific Railway and Navigation Com
pany line from Portland, Ore. to
Tillamook, Ore, 146 miles away,
the country traversed causing some
of the most difficult railroad con-
struction in the entire country.
Davis company later sold the road
to the Southern Pacific for a re-
ported purchase price of $4,000,-
900.
The Idaho Central is planned to
run from Wells, Nevada, to Roger
son, Ida., and he had associated
with him Joseph L. Stewart and
Thomas McDougall, San Francisco
garage owners.
Following Davis passing a state
ment was issued by his associates
that the projected road had been
capitalized for $5,000,000 and
practically all of the sum subscribed
and raised.
1t is presumed that others will
take up the work that had been
in Davis hands and that the Wells
road project will be matured.

NEVADA VULCAN MINES
MAKE FINE SHOWING

Winnemucca mountain is to
be made to produce much addition
al treasure in gold and silver dur
ing the early future, according to
those who are engaged in activities
in the district. The mineralized
area extends to within a short dis
tance of the northern corporate
limits of this city. In previous
years desultory work sufficed to
uncover many "finds" that spelled
fortune for lucky persons and there
are those in this city who can re-
count the strikes one by one and
tell of the collections of native
gold that went to enrich society.
Peculiarly, no organized effort on
large scale was ever attempted
and this is promised this year.
F. C. Robbins, head of the Ne
vada Vulcan Mines Company, own
ing valuable areas in the Winnie
mucca mountain vicinity, has let
number of leases during late days
and will award still others soon.
Robert Douglas and Peter McGrady
left yesterday for the district and
are preparing to operate under the
leases held by them on the Empire
claim. Mr.. Douglas is especially
versed in the geology of the dis
trict, having had many years of
mining experience there.
Other leasers will be operating
within a short time, according to
word given out by Mr.. Robins and
the entire area owned by the Ne
vada Vulcan is to be a bee hive of
industry soon. Considerable out
side capital is to be introduced as
a result of the new work.

STOCK CONDITIONS
ARE LOOKING UP
Stock Losses We're Heavy as Re
ported in Northern Part of This
State, Yet Present Season is
Highly Auspicious in Ways

Renewed optimism has taken firm
hold in Humboldt county stock
circles, due in large part to the
highly auspicious weather condi-
tions that succeeded the long, hard
winter and degree of compensa-
tion is promised those who use the
ranges of northern Nevada in the
form of added forage resulting from
the unusually heavy precipitation
that occurred last winter.
1t is true that stock losses were
heavy throughout all of the coun-
ties in the northern part of this
state. Elko county stockmen add
their plants to those of Eureka.
Lander, Humboldt and Pershing,
and the aggregate sum involved in
the passing out of both sheep and
cattle is considerable and will prob
ably never be known accurately
even to the state livestock authori-
ties. The heaviest losses suffered
in this county have been reported
from the districts bordering on the
Oregon line. Many provident
sheepmen went through the winter
with the minimum of loss, re-
ward that issued from having good
winter quarters and an amplitude
of forage.
Shearing has started in Elko
county but will not be in general
progress in this county until about
the 10th of next month. The quality
of the wool clip in Humboldt coun-
ty will be excellent and funds that
will be realized from the sale of
feeces will commence to reach To-
cal business circles on about the
18th of June. This introduction
of new money into the community
is expected to add much to the
volume of local trade transactions.
Lambing is in general progress
among the flocks of this county at
the present time. Due to the fact
that many bands of ewes wintered
badly a smaller percentage of
lambs is being recorded than for
many years. Those familiar with
the conditions in this county gen.
orally agree that about sixty per
cent of the lambs will survive. 1t
has been more than twenty years
since sheepmen in this part of the
state sustained losses as heavy.
Better wool prices and renewed
demands for clips add to the i'm
proved range conditions to make
silver lining for the sheepman's
cloud.

Home From Elko-

Home From Elko-
District Judge J. A. Callahan re-
turned Sunday from Elko where he
held district court for Judge Taber
over a period of several days. The
single business in hand by the court
was the hearing of the custer pro-
ceedings, brought against corrupt
Elko county officials. One proceed
ing was terminated by TIE discharge
of the official by his superior,
Sheriff Harris, of Elko county,
while Judge Callahan found against
Constable Cotant and ousted him
from office. In the other proceed
ing the principal was Deputy Sheriff
Guy Harbin, a former Winnemucca
resident. In advance of Harbin's
dismissal evidence in tr o d u C d
showed that he developed a pen
chant for selling booze confiscated
in raids and guaranteeing protec-
tion to the purchasers. Cotant
INDUCED similar activities, evidence
introduced in court showing the
two to be very corrupt in their
official capacities. Oaths of office
seemingly mean little to such men.
