ELK0 ATHLETES
] HAVE SPORT PLAN
Will Conduct Track Meets by Wire
With Winnemucca and Other
Schools to Determine Who
Are Best Athletes

Although spring is several months
away, Coach Martie has already
started preparations for the track
season and should his plans mature,
Elko should see some splendid ath-
letic feats in this city during the
spring of the year, says the Inde-
pendent.
One of the ideas that Coach
Martie Is now developing is a tele-
graphic track meet. with the East
Side high school, of Salt Lake, the
Twin Falls high school, of Twin
Falls, Idaho, and the Elko high
school as contestants.
The plan will be to hold a track
meet at each of the schools, the
sprinters, distance runners, and
other entries running against time.
Results will be telegraphed to each
of the schools and the school with
the highest number of points will
be declared winner of the meet.
This plan has never yet been car
ried out in this section of the coun-
try. and it is said that coaches of
some Of the schools are willing to
enter into the plan.
A dual meet between Winnie
mucca and Elko is also planned to
prelude the annual state meet this
year.

no let-up in the fast pace which

picture for Sunday night, in which
Bert Lytell is starred, is a delight
full comedy-drama about an amateur
sleuth whose hero is the famous

down criminals. 1t is good fooling
and reveals Lytell as an extraordi-

no dull moments in this picture and
it can be safely recommended to
all those who like plentiful

PICTURE REVIEW
. FOR COMING WEEK
Manager Harry Oastler Recommends
Four of Seven Movies to Be
Shown Coming Week, With
Balance Above Average

Four of the seven pictures to be
shown at the American theatre dur
ing the coming week bear the un-
hesitating stamp of approval of
Manager Harry Oastler, and the
balance are recommended by him as
being we'll above the average. The
four to which he calls particular
attention are Frank Mayo in 1.-THE
Man Who Married His Own Wife,
to be shown tonight; Peter B.
Kyne's Cosmopolitan story, Back
to the Yellow Jacket" Saturday
night; Bert Lytell in Sherlock
Brown" Sunday night; and Wallace
Reid in another prize fight story,
"The Worlds Champion" next
Wednesday night.
The picture for tonight, Frank
Mayo in 1.-The Man Who Married
His Own Wife," is the amazing
story of a man of the sea who had
two faces and who fought for the
same woman twice-and won both
times.
Tomorrow night, in "Glass
Houses" Viola Dana comes forth
with an enjoyable entertainment
that is sure to satisfy everyone.
The story is one of those complica-
ton affairs in which persons and
facts become entangled in all sorts
of compromising situations. There
is plenty of humorous incident and
laugh provoking business that puts
the picture on line with the few
really amusing farcical pictures of
the day. OF course the star is
largely responsible for the films at
tractiveness.

sHEEHAN PREDICTS
MORE PROSPERITY
Conservative Banker, Well Versed in
Business Conditions and Future
Prospects, Positive Better
Times Are Here

All indications discernible to the
newspaper mans eye leading to the
belief that business depression gen.
orally is nearly at an end, and that
for this section in particular great
prosperity is in immediate store, an
authoritative view on the subject
was yesterday sought from Senator
j. Sheehan, Winnemucca's leading
citizen and instigator of many worth
while civic enterprises. Senator
Sheehan is known as conserva-
tive banker, by some termed ultra
conservative, though that very trait
and his foresight of the bursting
of the imitation balloon probably had
more to do with the splendid man.
ner in which the people of north
ern Nevada came through the de-
preston than any other one thing.
In addition to this, Senator Sheehan
has worked early and late in his
efforts to bring war finance cor
poration money to this community,
has gone to Washington to help
draft legislation that if passed will
forever prevent panic in the stock
growing industry, and in between
times sandwiched in the work which
has resulted in the building of Ne
vada's finest hotel in this city. So
all around Senator Sheehan is in
position to know concerning bust
ness prospects and a positive express
sion from him, given in an inter-
view with The Silver State yester-
day, is of real value.
"The New Year comes with
more promise of cheer for this sec
ton than for the past three years."
said Senator Sheehan. "The changed
conditions began last September and
the Improvement has been steady
and distinct. Since September, de-
posits have increased approximately
100000, while loans have de-
creased and cash reserves climbed
to most satisfactory figures. This
condition is an index to what can be
expected during the coming season.

figure and a demand for all we can

head.

into law, will bring about a new and
beneficial financial situation for the

will make an invasion upon Battle
Mountain Friday, December II, and
on the following day, the high school
team will meet the crack Winnie
mucca team on the latter's floor.
The defeat of the Elko team adj
ministered by the Battle Mountain
boys has ranked ever since the de-
feat took place, and the high school
boys have sworn that the outcome
of their game with Battle Noun
tain will be far different at the
coming game. The town team also
promises to give vigorous battle to
the Battle Mountain team.
When the Elko boys arrive at
Winnemucca, they expect to en-
counter one of the hardest games Of
the season. The Winnemucca play
ers, in their game in this city,
showed plenty of class and action
and it is believed that this team,
on their own floor, will constitute
a dangerous adversary for the To-
cal boys.-Elko Independent.

be held in Reno prior to the open
ing of the state legislative sessions
at Carson City on the 18th, at which
he will take his place as the senator
from Humboldt county, he was
asked what may be expected in the
way of lawmaking during the en-
suing sixty-day term. Apparently
he has one specific object which he,
with the aid of his majority Re-
publican colleagues, will put above
, everything else, and that is to re-
duce the burden of taxation inn
posed in this state, a matter that is
receiving wide condemnation, for
he said:
CAS- to proposed legislation, there
are many things that come to my
mind. Particularly, there is an urg-
ent and serious demand for econ
omy and reduction in property
valuation and taxation. The burden
now upon property is more than
it can stand and something must
be done, if we expect to hold the
people now interested here and in
duce others to come"
1t is well known, of course, due
to previous news stories on the SUBJ
ject, that Senator Sheehan has well
defined ideas in the matter Of i'm
proving the cattle branding laws in
this state, and another of his pet
projects has to do with the establish
ment of a central recording office
for all mortgages executed in this
state, which will not only save a
great amount of expense but much
time to the stockmen seeking loans.
There are other matters which must
receive his attention, but from his
expressions it is gathered that the
tax reduction problem is going to
be given all the time required for
accomplishment, to the detriment of
minor measures, if necessary.

POWELL IS DEPUTY

M. A. Diskin, who became attor-

officially announced the appoint
ment of Thomas E. Powell of Win
nemucca to the deputyship. Some
time ago the position was rendered
William Mcknight, chairman of the
Democratic state central committee,
but the latter last Saturday evening
decided that he preferred to continue
his law practice in Reno. Robert
Richards, deputy for Attorney-Gen-
eral Fowler, was then offered the
appointment but he declined, having
made arrangements to open law Of
fees in Bishop and Los Angeles,
California.
Mr.. Powell left Winemucca Tues
day night for Carson City with the
announced intention of accepting
the deputyship, expecting to re-
turn within a few days to remove
his personal effects to Carson City,
where he and Mrs. Powell wilk take
up their residence.
Mr.. and Mrs. Powell have many
friends in Winnemucca who, while
disliking the fact that they must
leave this city, nevertheless extend
congratulations. Mr.. Powell form

mostly at the expense of law and
education. The ministry had de-
clined so much by 1896 as to be
virtually negligible. Education
had attracted more men during the
last quarter Of the nineteenth cen
tury than previously, but since then
it has been steadily declining.
What is true of Harvard is, in
the main, true of nearly all colleges.
The old prejudice against college
men in business is vanishing. Every
year there are more demands for
men either with the special knowl-
edge in a given field or with the
mental training which is the pro-
duct of the best college education.
Many institutions turn ore and
more to practical" education,
needing the dislike of business men
for the "unessentials." Against
this tendency some of the larger
universities have steadily %striven,
holding that it is for the graduate
schools to concentrate on vocation
al" training, and that for colleges
the aim should be, as President
Lowell phrases it, Something more
than a preparation for earning a
living"
In so far a. the increasing inter
est in business at Harvard is con-
cerned, there Is little doubt that
it is largely q result of the success
of the Graduate School Of Business
Administration. This in turn, has
had its reflex upon the college un'
dergraduates, who in seeking adj
vice from their business friends as
to what TO Ego into" T being
urged to take a year or more at
the Business School. In the old
days youngsters who could not
make up their minds just how they
would set about conquering the
world were urged to go for a year
or more to the Law School to bene-
fit from the mental discipline there
to be derived. Recently the num-
her of Harvard men going to the
Law School has declined. This may
be an indication that the "floaters"
are drifting into the Business
School. Modern business is in re-
atty becoming a profession in
which n broad training and thor
ough technique will be increasingly
in demand.

MILITARY DISCIPLINE

Secretary DENLY, who is this
year early in the field Al a dis
penser Of diplomas, urges the grad
uatinS mid-shipmen at Annapolis
to speak gently to their enlisted
men. He recommends a closer con-
tact with the .ailor-a recommends
ton which may be the more heart
felt because some among the en-
listed men have recently taken to
losing contact with their officers.
Desertions from the navy have
. way Of occurring in dull time
of peace. The Department has de-
voted some study to the question.
High wages ashore r in part re
sponsible, but the requirements Of
the traditional system Of military
discipline based on a socisl dis
tinction between officers and men
arc also blamed.
The fact that military discipline
is a little noticed but extremely
distinctive survival from tho an
Gent organizations; and when the
last Of the old ties are being loosen
ed everywhere else, it is natural
that they should a TO prove
wholly satisfactory in tho navy.
The natural leader Of men will
always keep his authority. He
needs no system. But the average
man, even the average officer, re-
lies on the tradition of his office
to back him up. The navy needs
a system Of discipline as much as
ever. But is can suit it to the
deserts Of the more finely bred
average young man Of nowadays
