Emulation.

Great men, taken up In any way, are
profitable company. We cannot look,
however imperfectly. upon great
man, without gaining something by
him. No nObler feeling than
this Of admiration for one higher than
himself dwells In the breast Of man.

TWO ARRESTED
IN LIQUOR RAIDS

Captain Donnelley's crew of four
prohibition enforcement officers paid
Winnemucca an official visit SUM-
day evening and thereafter raided
five soft drink emporiums here,
making arrests in two. Art English
of the Golden Bar was found with
a quantity of the forbidden booze,
the officers claim, and Dumps"
Gaffney of the Gem saloon is said
to have made desperate and sue
cessful effort to tip over a drink
shaker full of "salts," for which
action he was arrested on a charge
of resisting a federal officer, which
charge, upon substantiation, has in
variably brought a pail sentence of
six month at the hands of the fed
eral judge. English was arrested on
a charge of illegal possession of
booze for sale. Both are under bail
in the sum of $1,000 each.
On the following day the federal
men arrested Jessie George, but the
case against him was later dropped
The federal men complain bitterly
of someone having clipped off" their
vsiit to this city in time to permit
the hiding of most of the "evi-
dence," and a railroad man is
mentioned prominently in this con-
nection.
An effort has been made to try to
show that the federal men were not
more successful for the reason that
Winnemucca has a bunch of simon
pure bootleggers and prominent
friends who fly to their defense
upon the slightest provocation, but
most people are fairly well familiar
with the conditions here and take
the expressions of the bootleggers'
friends, all of them, with consider
able portion of salt.
Both of the city officers and De-
putty Sheriff Muller assisted the
federal men in their raids, Sheriff
Brady being busy with murder

LEGISLATURE At
WORK At CARSON
State Senator Sheehan of This
County Highly Honored in
Committee Appointment:
Sessions Fairly Started

Senator J. Sheehan of this city
had just about his own way at the
majority party caucus nero immedi-
ately prior to the convening of the
Legislative sessions last Monday.
After being named chairman of the
caucus he was successfully made
chairman of a number of the more
important committees, being named
on the senate committees on judi
ciary, railroads, banks and banking,
taxation, and livestock. One of the
first acts of Senator Sheehan was
to introduce a resolution limiting
the Legislative sessions to forty days
thus saving the state taxpayers a
huge sum. This passed the senate,
but latest news is that house men,
bers have registered opposition to
an extent that its passage now
seems unlikely
In the house, Assemblymen Peter
son and Sites were named on sew
eral committees, as minority mem
bers, as follows: Peterson on the
committees on corporations and rail
roads, ways and means, roads and
highways, and fish and game. Sites
was named on the committees of
military and Indian affairs, public
morals and public lands.
There has not been a great deal
Of Importance that has developed
in the legislature and word from
Senator Sheehan is that matters are
only now getting fairly under way.
The flood of bills is expected to
become noticed early next week.

GREAT PICTURE
HERE NEXE WEEK

What has been termed as "un-
ieniably the supreme achievement
Of motion picture art, when Knight
hoow Was in Flower" an epochal
picture with Marion Davis, which re-
Gently was shown in San Francisco
to capacity houses and merited ex-
ceptional press comment, will be the
feature at the American theatre
next Thursday and Friday, January
25 and 26.
Tremendous in every way, as mas
sive as it is exquisitely beautiful
when Knighthood Was in Flower
starring Marion Davis in one of the
most notable roles ever portrayed
by any screen star, is in every sense
If the word an epochal production
Created by Cosmopolitan Produc-
tions for Paramount at an expense
Of more than one million dollars
and interpreted by corps of screer
artists of a magnitude seldom il
ever seen in any American motion
picture production, it is at once 9
ielight to the eye and the mind.
Displayed for months at enhanced
prices at the Crietrion Theatre in
New York, where it was first pre-,
sented on September "a, 1922, il
was hailed ais the supreme achieve
ment of the American screen.
The remarkable beauty of "Wher
Knighthood Was in Flower" it:
dramatic story, historic accuracy, it!
superb photography and rich cos
tunes, and all the features of superi
ority with which it abounds, stamp.
it as the most magnificent picture
ever presented on the screen.

Of:
RIVER SUIT HERE.
State Engineer Decides That All
Cases Arising From the Settl-
ment of Water Rights to Be
Heard in Court Here

A small wagon load of legal docu-
ments, maps and transcripts of evil
dence taken at water right hearings
in the adjudication proceedings of
the Humboldt river were delivered
to County Clerk J. w. Davey's
office yesterday by Deputy State
Engineer v. A. Mueller. The lot
consists of perhaps a thousand maps,
and papers consequent to approxi-
mately 500 hearings of individual
rights to waters of the Humboldt
river and its tributaries from its
source in Elko county to the end
of its irrigable course in Pershing
county, and includes all lands in
the counties named and also in Eu-
reka, Lander and Humboldt count
les. The work of adjudication is
the result of many years effort on
the part of succeeding state engi-
neers, and the names of w. M.
kearney, Seymore Case, J. G. Scru-
CHAM and Robert Allen, all state
engineers of Nevada during recent
years, appear frequently.
The suit" has been filed in dis
trict court here, at the instance of
State Engineer Robert Allen, who
has selected the court here for the
hearing of all protest against the
water rights as set by the adjudi-
cation findings of the state engi-
neers.
The rule in the water decisions
is that all protests must be flied in
court five days prior to the date set
for the general hearing, which date
is to be set by Judge Callahan later,
but he says that it will be some time
in March next. Judge Callahan
may be disqualified in some or all
of the cases, he being a claimant to
water rights along the river near
Inlay for his ranch.
A question that has not yet been
decided in connection with the river
adjudication is whether or not a
water claimant will have lost his
case in court if he does not file
five days prior to the date set for
hearing, it not yet having been de-
termined whether he can come into
court thereafter in protest of the
claims of some other water user
For this reason large number OF
protests may be filed as a protec-
tive step.
The adjudication, or final settling
of rights to river water, is q
highly important matter in northern
Nevada and when complete will STOP
to a large extent further litigation
in the matter, permitting of freedom
of land owners in developing theiI
lands up to the point allowed by
the water awarded to them. II
is also thought that the adjudication
will later permit of the completion
of irrigation projects along the
river, a matter most vital to the
future welfare of the people resi-.
dent here. Offsetting this, however
is the fear expressed that the filing
of the present suit may lead to end
less litigation and prevent further
development of the river lands for
years pending the final outcome.

.COUNC|LMEN PLAN
STREET REPAIRS
Issuance of $4,000 City Bonds Fa-
vored by Council to Take Ad-
vantage of Highway Work :
to Improve City Streets.

A meeting of the city council
held last evening. at which Mayor
T. A. Brandon and Councilmen c.
P. Hoskins and Duane Bush were
present, was devoted almost ex-
clusively to the proposal that the
city issue bonds in the sum Of ap-
proximately $4,000 for street inn
provements, the city fathers agree
ing unanimously that the bond is
sue is necessary and desirable.
No definite action was taken, how
ever, pending the securing of ex-
pressions of opinion from taxpayers
and others interested here, which
expressions are expected to be
brought at meeting of the Cham
Der of Commerce to be held tomor-
row night.
The bond issue is made necessary,
it is said, because of the city's share
in the expense of building the Vic
tory highway through this city,
which work is now under way. It
is the plan of the councilmen, if
the bond money become available, to
relay Third street to full width
with a gravel bed, and also to do
considerable amount of street
work on West Fourth street and
Baud in the vicinity of the post
office, where work has been carried
forward during the last few days.
Also included in the plan is the re-
laying of Bridge street with high
grade quality of gravel, changing
the grade where necessary to pre-
vent the accumulation of storm
water.

THREE REPORTERS
FOR THIS PAPER

In line with the announced policy
of Bigger and Better" The Silver
State today announces the employ
men of two new reporters to gather
news for these columns. Miss
Grace Sheehan has entered upon her
duties as society reporter and will
hereafter diligently run to earth any
news of social nature and of course
writing any other news with which
she may become conversant. Electa
F. Summers, well known young wo-
man of this city who has recently
made her home in Susanville, will
gather general news, entering upon
her new duties today. With the
editor out rounding up courthouse,
city and civic news, it is hoped that
the trio will be enabled to give to
The Silver State readers the most
complete review of news events they
have yet been able to secure. In
addition to this service, The Silver
State has a number of correspond
ents in outside towns in this county
who will each week give a resume
of news happenings in their neigh
borhood. Other correspondents are
to be secured to cover the news of
communities not represented in
these columns.
The new plan of publishing only
once each week is working fine, and
while it is taking a little time to
complete and perfect details it is
already apparent that the step was
not only advisable but will result in
much betterment all around. The
new subscription rate Of $3.50 per
year has resulted in something more
than forty new subscriptions, with
out special endeavor being made,
within the last two weeks, sub
scription renewals are practically
&c per cent, aai the number of
voluntary subscriptions is highly
gratifying. The only regret is that
the action of changing to a weekly
newspaper was not taken four years
ago.
