Miss Minnie Bradshaw returned
Monday to resume her school teach
ing duties after having visited at
the home of her father, J. D. Brad
shaw, at Hughson, Calf, during the
summer. Her father is well known
here, having served terms as state
senator and assemblyman from this
county, and also as county commits

most completely in ruins. For two
days Toxic was swept by flames,
and apart from the loss of life
caused directly through the falling
of buildings, thousands must have
perished in their attempts to make
their way through the fire zones,
and other thousands from exhaus-
ton.
Yokohama, Tokio's busy port, is a
city destroyed. Probably more COM
plete destruction has been wrought
there than in the capital itself, for
its great docks are torn asunder, its
shipping wrecked, its public build
ings and homes leveled to the earth.
All advices received indicate a
succession of earth disturbances in
that area extending for many miles
inland and to the north, and every
where the first destructive forces
were augmented by explosions, the
bursting of water mains, the over
flow of rivers and the terrible, over
|powering rush of tidal waves.
Details Of geographical changes
are lacking. but it is reported that
new islands have been forced up
from the bed of the ocean, while
whole sections have disappeared.
Rivers are said to have changed
their courses, /and volcanoes are
erupting in various districts.
The disaster spared none who
stood in its path.

RED CROSS QUOTA
I. FOR JAP PANEsE SET
Local Chapter to Raise $3.50 oi
Five Million Dollar Fund for
Relief of Country Stricken
by Quakes and Fire


Five hundred and fifty dollars is
the amount of the quota set for the
Winnemucca Red Cross chapter to
raise during the next few days as
part Of the five million dollar relief
fund now being provided for earth
quake and fire victims of Japan, ac-
cording to a telegram received by
I. A. Brandon, chairman, from the
Pacific coast headquarters of the
Red Cross at San Francisco, and in
consequence committees have been
appointed to secure the quota with
as little delay as possible. In addi-
ton, both local banks will receive
subscriptions to the relief fund.
The telegram informing the
chairman of the quota follows:
--latest information from WASH
ington on Japanese disaster states
situation has been canvassed and a
decision reached to appeal to the
public for Red Cross japanese relief
fund Of five million dollars. Your
quota $3.50. Chapter should or
ganize active campaign Immediately.
Chapter authorized to appropriate
funds provided local Red Cross pro-
gram is not jeopardized."
The Winnemucca chapter of the
Red Cross includes all of Humboldt
and Pershing counties, and in con-
sequence Chairman Brandon has ap-
pointed the following committees to
secure funds in the various locali-
ties:
Winnemucca-Mrs. C. E. Swezy.
Mrs. E. H. Gilman, Mrs. P. E. Born,
Mrs. Geo. w. Brady, Mrs. A. Nc
Shee, Mrs. L. Peterman and Mrs.
s. G. Lamb.
Golconda-J. !. Peterson.
Paradise-Mrs. John S. Case.
McDermitt-Chas. Low.
Denio-Undecided.
Oroyada-Mrs. Frances Eichwaldt.
Lovelock-Uhdecided.
Rochester,. L. Reber.
Jungo-Mrs. Geo. Austin.
Sulphur-George Swsger.
Imlay-Geo. Copley.
Unionville-M. A. Leonard.
Funds in the local chapter treas
ury at the present time are almost
depleted. according to Mr.. Brandon,
and so it will be necessary to raise
the entire $3.50 either through vol
untary subscriptions or through the
activities Of the committees. The
Winnemucca committee will meet in
the Chamber of Commerce rooms
Saturday afternoon at 2:30 to de-
wise means of raising the quota for
this city, which will probably be by
personal solicitation, the city to be
Eoned for a thorough canvass.
The Japanese disaster has been
termed the most serious catastrophe
Of modern times, and Of course has
created much physical suffering
along with loss of life. Food and
clothing supplies were destroyed and
to alleviate further unnecessary suf-
fering is the purpose of the Ameri-
can Red Cross.
According to latest reports from
Okasa, Japan, touching upon the
effects of the great disaster which
has Frustrated the Japanese nation,
so vast an area of Japan has been
devastated by the greatest earth
quake in the history of the country
that it will be long before the actual
loss is known. The most reliable es-
Inmates of the deaths up to the pres
ent reach rs high as 100000 to
100000.

Bright Headlights
Cause Auto Crash

A Ford touring car owned by the
Wentworth Corporation of Bangor
being driven in the direction of
Dexter Sunday night by Dwight
Mckechnie, a student at the Uni
versity of Maine, who was accom-
panied by Kenneth SPHERES and
Professor Lyons OF the engineering
department of the university, came
in contact with a Cleveland road
ster operated by ORC Strout of Milo.
Both cars were badly damaged. The
story as told by the drivers OF both
cars is that each was proceeding
very slowly and carefully. but Nc
kechnie claims that the lights on
the Cleveland blinded him in such a
manner that he could not see where
he was going. The party in the
Ford were returning from a trip to
