GEORGIA MINSTRELS AT
NIXON NEXT WEDNESDAY

For many years the country has
been toured by the Famous Georgia
Minstrels, a, company Of colored
performers, who have established
clientele equal to none, and the
announcement that this company
will be at the Nixon. Wednesday
March 7, insures a crowded house,
as this season they come with a
bright new show with few of the
old favorites retained, but with a
complete new olio of fifteen vaude-
vile acts, made up into a program
that has plenty of pep" and lot
of comedy. The wardrobe and
scenery is as bright and new as a
silver dollar, and the peculiar har-
mony of the singers is always vel
come, while the music is a distinct
feature. The Georgia Minstrels
have just finished an eight day en-
gagement at the Curran in San
Francisco.

CHRISTMAS TREE CHOPPERS
SAID TO BE FOUND OUT

The report is insistent about
Winnemucca that Joe Grauvogel
agent for the Western Pacific Com
pany, has positive information con-
cerning the identity of two men
who are said to have cut the man.
moth Christ 1as tree brought tc
Winnemucca for use during the
American Legion's Christmas pro-
gram, arranged last year pri-
marily to assure bright Christ
mas for all of Winnemucca's young
sters. AS it is not the intent of
railroad or Legion officials to press
criminal charges against the two
men thus named it is Of course i'm
possible for this newspaper to pub
licly accuse them of the crime, lack
ing positive proof that they are in
deed the guilty parties. The big
tree was cut in three pieces a few
days before the Christmas celebra-
ton, apparently for no good pur-
pose, and at the time public feeling
was running high against the un-
known persons who did the cutting
and had they become known then
it probably would have gone hard
with the guilty parties. 1t is said
that the cutting of the tree was
done by members of the l. w. w.
as demonstration of hatred
against members of the American
Legion. All of the above informa-
ton, however, is more or less in
the rumor class and too much de-
pendence should not be placed upon
it, pending the securing Of accurate
knowledge.

STEVE BURNS TO
MANAGE HOTEL

The managership of Winnie
mucca's new hostelry, the Hotel
Humboldt, has been awarded to
Steve Burns, well-known chief
clerk of the Hotel Golden in Reno,
according to announcement of
George Wingfeld.
Mr.. Burns is expected to arrive
in this city the early part of this
month to assume his new duties,
which are not foreign to him, he
having been in the hotel business
for a number Of years and enjoying
an unlimited acquaintance with the
travelling public in this state.
Soon after his arrival here Mr..
Burns is expected to announce other
details of the hotel management,
which will include the hotel restau-
rant, and whether same will be
conducted by the hotel owners or
leased to an individual.
While Senator Sheehan, who is
in direct charge of the hotel building,
was here from Carson City over
The last weekend, he expressed the
opinion that it will be April Is, at
east, before the new hostelry can
oe thrown open to the public, with
the possibility that the bank quar-
ters may be ready April l. One
delaying factor in getting the hotel
ready is the demand of the carpet
layers for thirty days time in
which to complete their work, after
which more time will be used in
putting furniture into the building.
Practically every warehouse in the
city is now filed to capacity with
furniture and equipment for the
building. As the matter now stands
it is exceedingly difficult to even
hazard a guess as to the exact
date of the opening.

Please Cooperate
In the last issue of The Silver
State was a notice to advertisers
which explained the difficulty ex-
perienced in issuing a large news
paper when some of those adver-
tisers waited until the last moment
to decide upon change of ad copy,
and considerable pains were taken
to tell how, if the working force of
this newspaper is compelled to
spend a large portion of publication
day in doing mechanical work nee
essary to changing ads, important
news must be sighted or neglected
entirely, or the paper issued late.
Several thoughtful advertisers at
once recognized the fairness of the
request, but enough others either
overlooked the item or paid no at
tention to it so that the situation
was little improved today. We
dislike making a hard and fast rule
of no ads on publication day and
for that reason once again ask
advertisers to please cooperate.

WORK STARTED TO AGAIN
WIN STATE TRACK MEET

Work has started in earnest on
the local high school track, prepara-
tory to tryouts for the selection Of
teams to participate in the state
interscholastic meet to be held in
this city on May 25 and 26. Con-
testants are practicing diligently in
various phases, including 80, 100
and 220-yard dashes, high jump,
broad jun, discuss throw, shotput,
javiln throw, pole vault and judging
from scores already obtained it is
apparent that Humboldt county
will again claim the laurels and
establish new records far above
those of former years.

MORE ABOUT THE
COUNTY PRINTING
Il ls Not Strange That an Effort
Should Be Made to Protect"
the Commissioners, but II
Is Laughable to Readers

Probably the hired mans Job at
the Humboldt Star office is depend
ent upon his ability to "say some
thing" and probably it was that
very necessity that impelled the al
legged explanation of county print
ing expenditures in a recent issue
of that organ. And possibly that
thought explains the reason why the
same hired man, while employed by
The Silver State, saw the need and
voluntarily approached the COM
missioners in regard to the unfair
ness Of the proposition, and ex-
pressed himself vigorously at the
heinous state of affairs in that re-
gard, or at least so reported to his
then employer.
At first it would seem a happy
thought to relieve the commissioners
of the odium that attaches to the
manner in which the county print
ing business, as well as other county
business, has been handled, by
passing the buck to some of the
other office holders and saying it's
their fault. That's the habit of
the weakling-passing the buck.
But it doesn't do away with the
fact that month after month those
commissioners (excepting the newly
elected Commissioner Norris, of
course) signed the bills for pay
ment of that printing. 1t can't be
said that they didn't know what
was going on. And if the county
printing is out Of the hands of the
county commissioners, as the hired
man would imply to the public
mind, why then did they find it
advisable. every month to cause the
following order to be spread upon
the minutes of their meetings?
ut was regularly moved and
seconded that the county print
ing be awarded for the month
of January February and SO
on through the year, to the
Humboldt Star, at a cost not
to exceed that legally estab-
lished by law"
sioners were going through an
awful lot of fol-de-rol in making
such an order if it was their opin-
ion, as supposedly intelligent men,
that such an order would have no
meaning. Really, folks, the bunk
some people would have you believe
Is most amazing.
The hired man nearly made a
fatal mistake, however, in showing
to observant readers that the policy
that prevails in this county is one
of "To the victors belong the
spoils." That is the admission we
would like to have him make, and
he nearly made it when he said:
"The Silver State complains against
the county. printing award policy
yet admits that it received $108.S0
during the year 1922 as Republi-
can newspaper from a Democratic
board of county commissioners"
$50 they do have something to do
with it, don't They'll
We don't see any reason in the
world why Republican newspaper
shouldn't receive business from a
Democratic board of county COM
missioners. We would remind the
Star and it's hired man that county
printing, in this instance, amounts
to an expenditure of several thou
sand dollars, at least half of which
has been wasted. County funds are

defaulting among US is relatively un-
known.
We have never made rich thief,
nor made thief rich.
Unfortunately we have been terrified
by intolerance and suffered the hos
tilitv of an unkind sentiment which
has played havoc. We have under
gone the usages of horrible tyranny
and we have been at the mercy OF
stronger arms ever raised against US,
but we are not discouraged nor faint
hearted.
We have the courage to look our
adversaries in the face and condemn
American cowardice even in the halls
of Congress.
Now that the race is getting along
in the massing of wealth ere long we
will be able to bring order out of the
present chaos that seems to multiply
the anomaly of our situation. The
great change has brought up to the
very threshold of wealth. Peace and
plenty seem to 60 hand in hand and
what the near future is about to reveal
may yet stagger our fondest conjec-
lures. Nothing seems to lie outside
of our ability of achievement and at
tainment. Anyhow this old world has
about settled down to the notion that
we are rich with possibilities and ac-
complishments. Truth today is get
ting some hearing and the inspiration
superinduced BY truth will play electric
showers of Christian benevolence
wherever men read and think with
noble minds.
Sampson is awake, and in his stretch
OF intelligence, physical power, he will
take all that has been withheld from
him, and out Of the great dispersal
tons Of Nature he will receive all that
is justly mans portion and he will
not Be satisfied with less. In the face
of humanity he will look with search
ing wisdom, and he viii give back the
bounteous riches as he has been given
riches and splendor.
