CALLS FOR ASSISTANCE
IN ENTERTAINING VISITORS

Principal Scott of the local high
school is calling the attention of the
Winnemucea business men and
townspeople generally to the inter
scholastic track meet which will be
held in this city May 20 and 26.
1t is estimated that approximately
$50 contestants will be in attend
ances, as well as a number of other
persons who are interested in the
meet, and it behooves everyone Of
the community to spare no efforts
in caring for these visitors and
providing for their entertainment in
manner that will bring forth fav-
orable comment and leave a lasting
good impression with members of
practically every community in the
state.
In order that the visitors may re-
ceive of the best that Winnemucca
has to offer, it is essential that funds
be raised to entble the school au-
thorities and others concerned to
provide the necessary means of
caring for those in attendance and
the hearty cooperation of all bust
ness, fraternal and civic organiza-
tions, is urged by Mr.. Scott, in MAX
ing this event one well worthy of
Winnemucca's reputation along
these lines.

TOMORROW ANNIVERSARY
OF ENTRY IN WORLD WAR

Radio is responsible for calling to
mind the fact that tomorrow will be
the anniversary date of the entry
of the United States into the World
War. 1t was six years ago, April
6, 1917, that the fatal step was
taken and this country cast. its lot
with the allies in warfare which was
from that very moment certain Of
success. In consequence the radio
croadeasing stations will tomorrow
night send forth appropriate pro
grams, usually under the auspices
of the American Legion and othe
similar organizations.
All of which also calls to mine
that it will not be long now before
war will be declared by the Unlteo
States against Spain, in the twenty
five years ago column of The Silver
State, in which column the wa
cloud has been gathering for several
weeks. During the last week, the
old newspapers disclose, twenty-five
years ago, President Mckinley CANT
in for some rather severe public
censure for his desire to postpone
war with Spain while hunting fol
some other solution to- the mix-ur
created by the sinking of the battle
ship Maine by the Spaniards. 1t is
the intention to continue printing
excerpts from the old files each is
sue showing the trend of opinion
before, during and after the Spanish
war days, with a local touch here
and there, all of which should make
Interesting reading matter for those
who care for such things.
Another strange thought has de-
veloped from it all, and that is
that most all of Americas wars
have been declared during the
month of April. For instance, the
Civil War was declared and ended
during this month, and the Spanish
and World Wars were also declared
during April. Most other American
wars have similarly been so de
clared, though not all.

RAIN COMES IN TIME TO
STOP THREATENED DROUTH

During recent days small quaint
ties Of rain have fallen hereabouts
at intermittent periods, which to
those interested in ranching and
stock raising have been like the
dropping of gold and silver, for
the reason that their former com
plant that 'the country is too
dry was being. justified only too
well. During the last week a
total of 81 hundl edths of an inch
of rain has fallen, and while the
ranchers would have been well salts
fled to see another full inch added
to that amount, still the rain that
has fallen will prove of inestima-
BILE value, they say, starting the
range grass to growing and putting
crop land in much better condition,
particularly where there has been a
lack of irrigating water due to slow
melting of mountain snow. If the
rain only keeps up for time longer,
until the seasonal deficiency is at
last partially made up, conditions
will nearly approach the ideal, as
the open winter has been excellent
for stock growing.

CALIFORNIA WILL
RAISE FUNDS FOR
NEVADA HIGHWAY

Not content with promising $50
900 for the assistance of Utah in
completing the Wendover cutoff
the northern California road boost.
ers have set out to make a good
job of it by promising to raise an
additional $4,000 for the COM
pletion of the Victory highway
through the counties of Eureka and
Lander, according to recent reports
emanating from highway circles, re-
ports the Elko Free Press.
The highway funds of the neigh
boring counties are said to be some
what depleted and do not warrant
the expenditure of much on the
northern highway through the coun-
ties. In view of this fact it was
considered doubtful whether or not
the contracts which have been sur
veyed in Eureka and Lander, would
be completed within the next two
years.
1t is the plan of the California
road boosters to have the Victory
highway in first class shape by 1924,
and in order to make this plan a
reality, it was found necessary to
raise in some way the necessary
funds to put up the county share of
the amount necessary to build the
remaining projects across Eureka
and Lander, and this was immedi-
ately undertaken by the Californians
when they found it to be necessary
in order to complete the highway
by 1924.
There is little doubt, from the
way things turned out at the two
road meetings held last week in
Sacramento and San Francisco, but
that the Victory highway, hard sur
faced from Salt Lake City to San
Francisco will be reality within
the next two years. The road
contracts in the Nevada state high
way department call for the con-
struction of all of the remaining
projects either this year or next,
with the exception of the Eureka
and Lander contracts, and with
the funds provided by the Califor-
mans, the projects in those two
counties will be completing of the
link which will give Nevada a hard
surfaced road from Utah to the
California line.
Work on the Wendover cutoff in
Utah will undoubtedly be COM
menced in the near future, as the
necessary funds have been secured
through the efforts of the Cali
fornia road men, and this in itself
will go long way toward eliminat-
ing the barrier which has presented
itself to westward travel over the
Victory highway, and from present
indications the day is not far dist
ant when Elko and Nevada will be
receiving its share of the tourist
travel from the east.

ONLY ONE REGISTRATION
FOR COMING CITY ELECTION

Only one person has so far
registered with County Clerk j. W.
Davey for the city election to be
held next month, he said today,
while less than two weeks remain
during which such registration can
be accomplished. 1t is necessary
for all citizens who did not vote at
the last general election held in No
vember to re-register if they would
vote next month.
Interest on the part of political
dopesters, in the coming possible
contest, is growing keener each day,
though other people are showing a
marked disinterestedness in proceed
ings. Latest to be mentioned as
mayoralty possibilities are C. T..
Haviland, Duane Bush, B. J. Loinaz
and Mayor Brandon, with Council
man E. p. Sites as the only de-
fnitely announced candidate for
the position. In ward one rumor
has it that Councilman Duane Bush
may have as an opponent h. A.
Smith, while ward two and ward
three seem to continue without a
candidate in sight.

Train and Auto Collide

An auto driven by August Hill,
whose place of residence is I'M
known, was slightly damaged last
week when Hill, according to rail
road officials, stalled the engine of
his car close to the I. & G. cross
ing at the foot of North Main
street. The T. g. G. engine, pushing
two ore-cars, was coming around
the Y into the yards. Hill, it is
said, was trying to beat the train
over the crossing and apparently
the engine of his auto stopped
when he was close to the tracks.
He was so close to the rails that
there was not enough clearance for
the train to pass and in the collision
which resulted the lights, fender and
radiator of the auto were damaged.
Hill drove his auto into Goldfeld
under its own power. He was not
injured.-Goldfeld Tribune.
