COMMUNITY NEEDS
OBSERVED BY CLUB
Civic Club Continues Policy of Ac-
lively Sponsoring Projects of
Utmost Value to This City
and Humboldt County

A regular meeting of the Civic
Club was held at the chamber of
commerce Tuesday afternoon, when
various important matters were dis
cussed.
A favorable report was made by
the committee which had been ap-
pointed to appear before the City
Council in the interests of having
the Indian camp, south of the city,
furnished with a water supply; the
cookie committee reported that a
large shipment of cookies was sent
to Letterman Hospital by the Epis-
copal guild and Mrs. G. w. Brady,
chairman of the Play Committee re-
ported that April 10 had been set
as the date for presenting the must
cal comedy, polished Pebbles" and
May II as the date Of production
for Because l Love You," bene-
fit performances, the proceeds of
which will be divided between the
Senior class of the high school, who
are assisting in the production, and
the public libary fund.
New members were admitted to
the club and substantial donations
to the library fund were received,
including that of Mrs. Thos. D..
Moore of Spenser, Indiana, who be-
came acquainted with members of
the Civic Club while in the local
hospital, a victim of the railroad
wreck which occurred on the West
ern Pacific line, near this city, last
April.
A communication was read to the
effect that one hundred books from
the library of the University of Ne
vada will be donated to the local
library, the Club being granted the
privilege of making its own selec-
tions. The book case recently our
chased by the club has already been
filled and another case will be made
to shelve the books coming in.
G. F. Asbury, chief of the Win
nemucca Volunteer Fire Depart
ment, gave an interesting talk on
lire prevention and requested the
cooperation of the club members. A
committee consisting of Mesdames
Morrison, Rose, Adamson, Erskine
and Moore was selected to act as
judges in the fire prevention essay
contest for school children, which
will soon be held.
Hostesses for the afternoon were
Mrs. A. ID. Dern and Mrs. VIM. Akin
who served light refreshments.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL NEWS NOTES
GLADYS TREcAsKIs. Editor in Chief

piano solo. Leroy Brophy Of the
Fifth grade proved to be veritable
repository of geographic knowledge.
In describing an imaginary trip in
South America he showed a mar
velous grasp of geographical knowl-
edge. If anyone wants to know
anything about South America, just
ask Leroy.
Anna Legarza and Pedro Bengo-
chea of the Fourth grade were per-
feet in spelling every day last
month.
Two pupils, Blanche Cosby Of the
B-Seventh grade and Willie Henley
of the B-Eighth grade, who made
averages of 81 and SO respectively
in their school work last month have
been permitted to enter the next
higher half-year section. After they
adjust themselves in the new grade
we should not be surprised If they
soon led their class.
The school is planning to observe
Arbor day in practical way by
planting trees, cleaning up the
schoolground, and rendering a pro-
gram that will show the use of
trees.
Many pupils are jumping upon
the running boards Of moving autos
and trucks and thus imperiling life
and limb. We ask parents, the
drivers of autos, and the retail
stores who are continually deliver
ing on the streets to cooperate with
the schools to eliminate this danger
to the children of the community by
refusing to allow children to ride
on the outside of their autos and
trucks

QUESTION IS RAISED
AS TO REAL DATE
OF EASTER

The question of whether April /,
is the correct day in which to cele-
brate Easter this year, is raised by
and not April, this paper says.
asks for clergymen's opinions.
If astronomical and ecclesiastical
authorities are correct in their de-
ductions April 8 should have been
designated as Easter day this year,
and not April l, this paper says.
Easter day this year, according
to 1928 calendars, occurs on the
same day as the Paschfal full moon,
while the authorities of old declared
that it must come on the Sunday
following the full moon.
The World Almanac states that if
the full moon falls on Sunday, then
Easter day is the next Sunday
Professor DeMorgan is quoted as
saying in the Catholic Encyclopedia:
Easter Sunday is the first Sunday
which occurs after the first full
moon following the 21st of March,"
and this year the first full moon
following the 21st of March will be
on April 8, at 500 a. m. according
to the alamac.
If April 8 is the correct day for
celebrating Easter, then the Greeks
are the only ones who will be fol-
lowing the rules maintained for
ages.-Sparks Tribune.

THE STATES WATER
LAW is ATTACKED

A further attack on the validity
of the state water law is made in
reply of contestants to the order of
determination of Humboldt river
water rights filed in the Humboldt
county district court, copies of the
reply having been received by State
Engineer Robert A. Allen.
The reply, filed by Attorney Sam
uel Wiel for the Farris estate, asks
that the order be dismissed and ex-
ceptions to the findings are also
made.
Copies of The objections to the
findings of the state engineers Of
fee in the Humboldt river water
adjudications, signed by Perry
Evans in behalf of the Dunphy

similar and about as voluminous as
those filed by Samuel We'll in be-
half of the Farris Estate.

HEAVY SNOWFALL IN
THE RUBY RANCE

Snowfall in the Ruby mountains
for the season to date is l09 per
cent of normal, according to Fred
o. Herr, who returned to Reno from
Elko few days ago, where he went
to join snow survey expedition
Mr.. Herr conducted careful scrut-
my of conditions. Last year, the
precipitation there measured $50
per cent of normal.
In the party with Mr.. Herr were
Charles Stephenson and Frank Fer
maid of Elko. The journey to the
base of the mountains, twenty-six
miles southeast of Elko, was made
by automobile. Usually at this time
of year, sled must be used for

SAGE KILLS MAN
IN SILVER CITY
AFTER A FIGHT

Edward Calquhoun, a native of
Nevada, aged 33 years, was shot
and instantly killed last Thursday
night in the Combination saloon at
Silver City, Nevada, by Clarence
Sage, recently released from the
Arizona penitentiary.
The shooting followed a quarrel
between the men in which Colqu-
houn was the aggressor. Informa-
ton was to the effect that Colqu-
houn asked Sage if he was a pro-
hibition officer and Sage came back
with reply: "If you think am,
hop on"
Following this remark Colquhoun
is said to have struck Sage and the
men clinched and Colquhoun put
Sage down. Bystanders interferred.
following which Sage is said to
have grabbed a bottle from the
bar and thrown it at Colquhoun.
Another battle ensued between the
two men, in which Sage was
worsted.
Sage then left the saloon, was
gone a few minutes and upon his
return whipped out a pistol from
his pocket and shot Calquhoun
twice, one bullet entering the left
shoulder and the other penetrating
the heart. Colquhoun sank to the
hoor and died without a. word.
Several witnesses to the shooting
overpowered Sage and locked him in
the saloon, but he escaped, returned
to his room at the Bonanza hotel
where he was found by Deputy
Sheriff Donnelly hiding beneath the
bed.
Some talk of lynching at Silver
City caused the removal of Sage
to Dayton.
Sage was convicted of rape and
sentenced to serve from 10 years
to life in the Arizona penitentiary
in April, 1920, but last year, in an
affidavit made in Montana by the
woman in the case, according to
advices, she admitted the charge
was a frame-up to get Sage out of
the way. Governor Campbell of
Arizona committed the sentence of
Sage in December and in January
he returned to Nevada.-Tonopah

tax rate of the year before of SO
cents per 500. Actual expendi-
lures last year were $34,950. The
estimated amount Of property with
in this city which may be taxed
during the present year has been
set at $2,390,000, but will probably
run slightly in excess of that sum.
Under the new tax rate of 93.5
cents this will bring $22,415.00 to
the city treasury, and if the miscel-
laneous items bring $J1,075, as
estimated, the city will have $780,
10000 to spend during the year,
which is nearly $500 less than the
actual amount spent last year.
May Change Voting Precincts
The unequal division of popula-
ton in the three voting precincts of
this city has long been a topic for
conversation, with general opinion
prevailing that the precinct bound
aries should be changed. For in
stance, the second precinct has
more voters in it than the first and
third precincts together. Popula-
ton in the first precint is so small
the practical control of elections
therein has been in the hands of
residents and habitues of "the line,"
condition which many people re-
siding in the precinct seriously OBJ
jected to.
To remedy this condition it has
been proposed that the city be re-
divided into three voting precincts
so that the population in each pre-
cinct will be more equal. One idea
is to slice the city in three portions,
with the dividing lines running
clear through the city from east
to west. Under this proposal all
of the people residing north of the
center line of Thind street would
vote in precinct one; all of the
people residing between the center
line of Third street and to the
center line of Third street would
vote in precinct two; while all of
the people residing south of the
center line of Fifth street would
vote in precinct three. Such a
division of the city, it is said, would
give a fair number of citizens at
least chance to vote against the
wishes of those people who depend
upon the earnings Of commercialized
vice for livelihood.
1t was decidede that an ordinance
shall be drawn leaving the precinct
boundary lines blank, to be filled in
at meeting soon to be held by the
council when all of the members of
the board may be present.
To Sell Bonds Tuesday
After considerable discussion con-
corning street work, which appears
to be held up because of non-ship-
ment of a gravel loader, it was de-
cided to recess the meeting until
next Tuesday, March 27, when the
council will meet to consider pro-
posals for the sale of city street
and highway bonds, in the sum of
$4,000, which is half of the
amount authorized by the legisla-
ture to be sold. At the same time
the first reading of the proposed
ordinance to change voting pre-
cincts will take place. 1t will also
be necessary to amend the city
election law to conform to the new
election laws passed by the recent
legislature.

MOVEMENT STARTED
GET REAL ORCHESTRA
Music Study Club VIII Sponsor
Organization With All Cost
To Players Eliminated

A movement sponsored by the
Music Study club, is being, put un-
der way here to secure for Ameri-
Gus community orchestra, and
in which every musician in the en-
tire community may participate.
The orchestra is to be organized
along the most economical lines,
with every instruction cost entire
ly eliminated, and the entry fee
placed at nothing at all. 1t will
be seen from this that the pro-
moters are in earnest in their
efforts to promote a real commun-
ity orchestra, with genuine love of
music and the musicians art behind
the effort.
Mrs. Will Dudley is one of the
moving spirits in the effort to or
ganize a community orchestra,
and she has communicated with a
number of Americas musicians who
have become SIMILARLY interested in
the movement. Alfred A. Cane,
organist at the Rylander Theatre,
and an instructor of ability in
orchestral work, has been asked to
direct the proposed organization,
and he has consented to give this
work two nights in each week with
no charge made for his services. A
meeting of interested musicians is
to be called at any early date when
the proposed orchestra organiza-
ton will be placed before them in
detail, and when it is hoped a final
organization will be completed.

Raymond Carter, 6, on April II

that the pistol with which the child
was shot accidentally was fired as

plea to the jurors. He accepted
the verdict without any display of
emotion.
