COAL STRIKE ENDS
THRU ARBITRATION

In less than two weeks a
coal strike which threatened
to tie up industry thruout the
nation has been settled on con-
ditions satisfactory to oper-
ators, miners and to the public
and the nation once more has
reason to feel that its conf
dence in the national admins
tration is well placed. Particu-
larly is this true in Colorado,
whose people have known at
first-hand the horrors of in
dustrial warfare.
In meeting the crisis Presi-
dent Coolidge showed firmness
tempered by keen sense of
justice. AT a time when vacil-
lating policy might have meant
national calamity, the clear
ness with which the situation
was considered and the prob
lens were met resulted in the
continued production of the
fuel that is essential to indus
try, and in the preservation Of
the social peace which is es-
sential to well-ordered gov
ernment.
BY his actions President
Coolidge and Governor Pin
chot showed themselves true
to the tradition of the Repub-
lican party-that of giving
what is loosely called good
government" in the admins
tration of state and national
affairs. BY good government"
sanity as well as honesty in
public affairs: a keen realiza-
tion that the welfare of the
whole people, rather than per-
sonal popularity, is the great
est aim for which officials can
hope to strive.
With Republican admins
tration. not only are both
parties in an industrial contrO-
versy assured justice and fair
play, but the public is assured
that wisdom will be shown to
the end that settlement will
be reached which will prevent
the whole people from the
damage which inevitably re-
suits from economic strife.
When the people of Colo
RADIO remember that the recent
anthracite strike might have
brought to the whole nation
the difficulties which beset
this state in 1914. they will
have reason to have a feeling
of satisfaction that man OF
the vision of Calvin Coolidge
is in the White House.

COLCONDA RANCH HAND
FORCER MAKES GETAWAY

Last Saturday night a man en-
ployed by the Willow Vista Land 4
Cattle Company purloined a number
of blank checks from the company's
office on their ranch near Golconda,
protected them with the protecto-
graph, and was successful in cash
ing several Of them with fictitious
names at the Morning Star hotel at
Golconda. In all he succeeded in
coming out ahead about $3.50. The
mans name was at first supposed to
be Harry Meyers, but from q more
recent statement of the sheriff's Of
flee, it seems that this was not cor
rect. 1t was first believed that he
was still in the vicinity, but later
news is that he had made his get
away before the complaint had even
been filed. Sheriff Brady made .
trip to Golconda, but without result.
as the man has left for parts un-
known.
As he had been working for some
time on the ranch of the Willow
Vista Land & Cattle Company, the
checks were cashed without question
by the victims.

CHAUTAUQUA TO BE

Local committeeman of the Eli

he American theatre management
whereby at least four of the enter
tainments will be given at the thea
tire, and one, play, probably at
the Nixon opera house. The festi-
val is scheduled for the evenings of
October 20, 80, 81 and November
and 2.
This Chautauqua festival" diff
fers from other Chautauqua offer
ings which have appeared heretofore
in Winnemueca, in that all perform
ances will be given during evening
hours only, indicating a greatly re-
duced program, and varying also in
the fact that the theatres will be
used instead of tents.

Luscious Fruit

Luscious Fruit
1t pays to advertise, and fire.
quently in more ways than one.
Not long ago The Silver State
printed little story about friends
bringing in ducks and venison for
destruction by the editor. That
worked, and in a few days another
friend brought in some of our fa-
vorite indoor sport-venison jerky.
A few days later and a postoffice
slip informed that a perishable pack
age awaited calling for. Hurried
investigation showed it to be a crate
of fruit, apples, peaches and pears,
from Mrs. Lena Scott, rancher of
Platora. The fruit was of such
quality. and size that it was decided
to make a window display of part
of it, with the primary idea in mind
of showing passers-by what wonder
full fruit is raised in this county.
The result was more than expected,
Tor not only did people come into
the office for the purpose of meas
uring the Ia u Inch apples, but
others came in to find out where
they could obtain such fine fruit.
One lady insisted that she just SIM
ply must have some of those fine
Bartlett pears, but she was courte-
ously given the address of the
grower at Platora in reward for her
enthusiasm-those pears were for
us, and not samples.
So now we don't know what to
expect. If -4yone hercahouts raises
any nice warm winter overcoats or
mines a flock of coal they can bring
that in too.

Indian Mikes Gun

Charles F. Cuts, curator of the
Nevada historical museum conducted
by the Nevada Historical Society at
Reno, was visitor in this city dur
ing the club federation convention
for the purpose of outlining to the
delegates attainments and ambitions
of the society he represents, with
the result of the passage of a reso-
luton by the convention pledging
the active aid of the federation in
strengthening the society. While
here the curator secured old papers
which were contained in the corner
stone of the old courthouse, which
burned down several years ago, and
also the rifle of Shoshone Mike, the
renegade Indian who staged the last
Indian raid in these parts and who
was finally killed by posse in the
Golconda section. The rifle was in
the possession of County Clerk J..
W. Davey and is highly regarded by
Mr.. Cuts as an historical prize. 1t
Will join other antiquities of his
torical value at the museum. The
curator made frequent request while
here for other articles suitable for
his purpose, with the probable result
hat Winnemucca will soon join the
ranks of those communities now
well represented in the historical
museum.

BRIDE GIVEN SHOWER
BY LODGE SISTERS

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Chris
Deiss in upper Winnemucca was the
scene of happy brides shower
party last Monday night when mem
bers of the Women's Benefit Asso-
citation gathered for the purpose of
showering gifts upon Mrs. Arthur
Cropper, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Deiss, who was married at Love
lock week ago last Saturday. Re-
freshments were served during the
evening.
The story of the marriage of the
former Miss Deiss has at last leaked
out. OF course, being engaged to
Mr.. Cropper, who was formerly a
druggist in this city, but who is now
similarly employed at Reno, the now
Mrs. Cropper informed him of her
intention to visit friends at Love
lock over the fateful weekend, and
Arthur, being of an ambitious and
energetic type, was on hand to greet
her when she stepped from the train
at the sister city. 1t was then that
the charming young lady succumbed
to the proposal that their wedding
day be set forward, winding up by
immediate marriage. The bride is
employed at the local telephone
Office and being away only on short
leave of absence it was necessary
for her to return here until the com
pany could fill her place, but this
being accomplished within the next
few days she expects to join her
husband in Reno, where they will
continue to reside.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Cropper have
the best wishes of host of friends
in this city that their future may be
happy and prosperous.

Increasing Water Supply

Men employed by the Winnie
mucca Water and Light Company
are at work on a tunnel in the water
supply canyon east of here, with
the intent of increasing the flow of
water from that point. There is
already considerable water coming
from the tunnel, but with the in
ereasing depth of the tunnel, there
should be material increase in the
present flow, which would give this
city a larger supply. The tunnel
being run is about 125 feet in
length. Seventy-nine feet of this
is only cut while the rest is en-
tirely underground.
