MOVING A PRINT
SHOP SOME JOB

Readers of this newspaper will be
indulgent, we know, if The Silver
State temporarily fails to properly
record news happenings, when it is
explained that moving days is every
day hereabouts right now,. with the
prospect of another week Of hard
work getting things in shape at the
building recently occupied by the
First National Bank, upon which
building the publisher of this news
paper has taken a lease covering
the entire premises. Getting the
building ready for interior decora-
tors, moving extremely heavy ma
chinery into place, rewriting the
building for new requirements and
the thousand and one other things
which are necessary to be done
including elaborate radio installation
constitutes no easy task, and the
time so devoted is bound to re.
fleet in a loss of newspaper quality
if not quantity. We wish that i,
might be possible to properly cover
the opening of Winnemucca's new
and magnificent hotel, and to tel
about the handsome and modern
banking quarters the First National
directors have provided as credit
to the city of Winnemucca, and to
the other quantities of good news
| becoming available each day ant
which indicate a rosy future fol
this community, but to do so woult
be at the sacrifice of future eff
cheney Of this printing plant. How
ever, we hope to join the ranks Of
those who are providing something
really worth while for Winnemuccs
by housing this newspaper in {
building better than which no Ne
vada newspaper has, and at th'
same time making it presentable il
appearance. When we get ful:'
settled in our new home it is hope,
that you will drop in to pass judg
ment upon our efforts.

Paradise are also keeping accounts

time. The extension division ex-
poets to have farm account book

GIBBONS MAY BOX MIKE M'TIGUE OR CARPENTER SOON
Tex Rickard Trying To Ar range Bouts For a Fight
 This Winter

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Tom Gib- bons, who went 13 rounds further with Jack Dempsey than Luis Angelo Firpo and was able to totter, may fight Georges Carpenter or Mike McTigue, present holder of the title that Carpenter lost to Battling Ski.
 Tex Rickard received a cablegram Monday, in which Carpenter be- trayed a reviving interest in the music of the tuneful American cash register. As Gibbons manager, Eddie Kane, was in town at the time, Rickard paged him and began negotiations for match between Gibbons and McTigue and another one between Gibbons and the Frenchman.
 Carpenters message said that as soon as he fulfilled a pending date to knock out Joe Beckett again, in London, he would be enchanted to come to America and avenge the four round knockout he suffered at the hands of Dempsey by punching some holes in Gibbons, the man who travel led Is rounds with the champion at Shelby. The Beckett date is october 1, so the Carpentier-G match will have to be an indoor appearance al Madison Square Garden, for com paratively small receipts The gate" capacity of the Garden Is only slightly above $100,000.
 McTigue has not had a decision, but since he outpointed Ski In Dublin on St. Patrick's Day and he is said to have tainted when Rickard mem toned Gibbons to him. Gene Tunney, holder of the merican light heavy weight championship. leaped through a window and ran all the way home when Rickard asked him to fight Gibbons.
 Gibbons Is in Los Angeles. He would prefer to fight in the open air, where the receipts grow larger, but is compelled to take his matches whenever he can get them lest his op- ponents have a change of heart.
 As McTiguc has made very little money with his title, Rickard be- lieves he can lure him into the ring with Gibbons when the weather grows cold and a new overcoat be- cnneS imneratiN
