CERMANY'S PLIGHT
TOLD BY SPEAKER

The feature of the monthly meet
ing of the Civic Club Monday even
ing was an addres on conditions in
Germany by Miss Lena OFT, who re-
Gently returned from an extended
trip to that country.
While her trip was merely a
visit to relatives and old friends in
her. native country, and not of in
vestigation, she came into close
touch with the home life of the
masses in the sections which she
visited, and stated she witnessed
on all sides the terrible poverty and
suffering, saw the despair and hope
lessness of the poor people, and
came home depressed with the con-
viction that relief for Germany's
poor is forlorn hope without help
from some of the stronger nations.
These things were portrayed by
Miss OFT in a vivid word picture,
and her message was listened to
with interest by many who wanted
to hear the testimony of an eye
witness on conditions over there.
After the address by Miss Ott
the remainder of the evening was
spent at cards. All the teachers OF
the town were specially invited.

POWERFUL NEW STATION
READY END OF JANUARY

Winnemucca radio fans will be
Interested in information recently
received by The Silver State con-
cerning the new and powerful
broadcasting station located at Oak
land. 1t appears that it will be the
end of January before the station,
erected and to be maintained by the
General Electric Company, will be
on the air. The aerial is rugged
now, buildings are complete and the
power plant is being installed. This
station is to be of 1000-watt ca
pacity, whereas the most powerful
broadcasting station now located on
the coast is of 500 watts, or only
half as powerful as the new station
will be.
The G.-E. will erect a duplicate
station in Denver in few months
with an original cost of $175,000
and an annual maintenance expense
of 100000 for programs and up
keep. Both stations will be heard
over the entire coast.
The Oakland Tribune, XIX, will
be on the air on the day of the
California-Stanford big game, No
vember 20, and regularly there
after. 1t is the latest type of West
ern Electric 500-watt broadcasting
station. Tests are now being made
after midnight each day. Remote
controls will be run to several To-
cations at the University of Cali
fornia. The antenna of this station
will be the highest on the coast and
it ought to get out excellently.
Aimee Mcpherson, the evangelist,
will be on the air in Los Angeles
with the same type set next month.
She is an excellent speaker on re-
ligious subjects and her programs
will be of particular interest to
shutins and others who are unable
to attend church services. This sta
tion will be of 500 watts, the same
as that of XIII and XII at Los
Angeles.

THE STORY OF AN OLD
DUFFER AND A WIDOW

A certain physician once had a
very sick paeient, who, after a
long illness died. He left rather
charming widow, who proved quite
attractive to the physician. He
even went SO far as to ask the
widow to marry him, apparently de-
termining to put aside his own
wife. The widow refused the doc
tor, but he insisted in continually
making expressions of sympathy,
and doing stunts to make a Ounce
Of himself.
Later a young fellow, a regular
he cave man, came along and pro-
ceeded to court the widow. She
apparently fell for him. One day
the doctor was rather rudely dis
illusioned and his complacency Sc

widow and the young man together.
At any rate he recovered his good
sense and saw what a fool he had
been.

MOUNTAIN OF SOAP TO BE
WORKED AT LOVELOCK

A mountain of soap is Lovelock's
latest claim to fame, and a plant
for pulverizing and packing the
product is to be erected as soon as
possible, if the plans of Charles
Guthrie of this city and other mem
bers of the board of directors are
carried out. The mountain was dis
covered by Geo. II. Mccormick Of
Lovelock, who claims it is a chemi-

powder, mechanics soap, facial clay
and other cosmetics, and ground in

RAILROAD SURVEY
NORTH TO BOISE
Mysterious Crew Said to Be Work.
ing This Way Believed to Be
Forerunner of Construc-
tion to Los Angeles

A rather fantastic story of rail
road building between this city and
Boise, Idaho, is going the rounds in
Winnemucca. Whether there is any
truth in it at all or not cannot be
stated for efforts of this newspaper
to confirm or deny have SO far
proven fruitless. The principal
story seems to center around a
mythical surveying crew which is
said to be working south from
Boise, has already staked past Nc
Dermitt and into the Quinn River
valley. One report has it that ar
rangements have already been made
for boarding the crew in the vicin-
ity of Rebel Greek.
This carries old-timers back ex-
actly ten years, when the project of
building the Winnemucca Northern
railroad from this city to Boise was
in full bloom. During this week,
ten years ago, the route was ira
versed by President Levy of the
Western Pacific and newspaper re-
ports quoted him as saying posi-
lively that the road would be built.
Reports current hereabout at the
present time, however, have nothing
whatever to do with that incident,
and, as stated, center around the
mysterious surveying crew, about
which nothing can be learned. In
considering the possibility of truth
to the rumor it is pointed out that
during the last session of the legis-
lature franchise was granted to
man probably a figurehead for
higher-ups to build railroad from
this city to Tonopah and Las Vegas,
with a probable extension or con-
nection with Los Angeles. On top
Of that is the apparently fairly well
grounded report that the Southern
Pacific is to move its terminal to
this city, which would of course be
all the more desirable with a con-
Meeting road coming into this city
from the north.
One man has gone so far as to
venture the information that it is
the Oregon Short Line-in reality
the Union Pacific-which is behind
the move to build between this city
and Boise.
The Silver State, however, is not
inclined to place nearly as much
credence to this latest railroad story
as it is in the Southern Pacific ter
minal move. In fact, until more
information is available with some
thing more tangible to point to
than is now proven to be a fact, we
would opine that the Boise road is
as far from becoming a reality as
it was ten years ago. Our guess is
that it originated in talk brought
about by the possibilities which
would attend the Southern Pacific
terminal moving and that as it has
passed from mouth to mouth it has
become enlarged until someone with
an extra vivid Imagination actually
saw the surveying crew mentioned.

SHEEHAN TO TAKE
IMPORTANT PLACE
Senator J. Sheehan of This City to
Reside in Reno and Become
Active Vice-President of
All Wingfeld Banks

Winnemucca is about to lose, in
partial sense at least, one of its
most prominent citizens, for Senator
j. Sheehan of this city, vice-presi-
dent and cashier of the First Ma
tional Bank, is to leave the first of
the new year to take up residence
in Reno and become the active vice.
president of the Wingfield banks in
Nevada. The word partial" how
ever, is used advisedly for the rea-
son that although the senator, with
his family, will reside in Reno, he
will in the future keep in close
touch with affairs in this city and
spend a few days here each month
attending to banking business, so
that it is probable that so far as
Winnemucca is concerned the active
interest which he has heretofore
displayed in matters of civic and
polite nature, as well as industrial,
this city will benefit equally as in
the past through the senator's ac-
tivities.
In his new capacity Senator Shee-
han will remain vice-president of
the First National, as well as presi-
dent of the Farmers and Merchants
Bank of Eureka, the latter being
an enterprise which he personally
instituted and built up to an envi-
able position, and in addition will
become active vice president of the
Reno National Bank, the state s
largest banking institution; the John
S. Cook bank of Goldfeld, the
Tonopah Banking Corporation, the
Carson Valley Bank, the Virginia
City Bank, the Bank of Sparks, the
Churchill County Bank (Fallon).
Mr.. and Mrs. Sheehan went to
Reno early this week to attend to
details connected with the buying of
a home in the Riverside city and
expect to move there shortly after
the first Of the year. 1t has not yet
been definitely decided who will be
named to take Mr.. Sheehan's place
in the local bank.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sheehan have been
practically lifelong residents of this
city, and indeed Mrs. Sheehan was
born here. Mr.. Sheehan came here
"a years ago and after being en-
poyed for number of years as
Southern Pacific freight conductor
and later as county recorder he re-
signed the latter position 10 years
ago to become clerk in the First
National bank, then managed by
Senator Geo. |. Nixon. At that
time the capital of the bank was
$4,000 and deposits $550,00Q,
while today the capital and surplus
of the institution has been increased
to 100000 and the deposits to
$2,350,000, largely as result of
Senator Sheehan's efforts, for not
only do the people of Humboldt
county have implicit faith in his
banking judgment but the First Ma
tional enjoys the patronage and
trust of large depositors from all
parts of the state.
In speaking of his move this
morning, Senator Shehan said there
will be no important change in
policy of the various banks Which
he will take charge of and that his
constant endeavor will be to build
up the various communities in which
they are located. He said he has
not given up interest in any local
projects with which he has become
identified and feels that by spend
ing three or four days here each
month he will be enabled to keep
well in touch with developments.
