fORD'S SUPPORTERS
 IN PERSONAL FIGHT
Issue Is for Third Party Against
 Democratic Nomination

Detroit, Dec, 6.-DeIegates to the conference here December 12. of Ford-For-President clubs called ac- cording to it's sponsors to determine the best method of advancing Henry Ford for president" will face a fight at the very outset, according to in formation reaching local Ford SUD- porterx The fight, it is indicated, will come between those factions sup porting third party movement and those favoring Ford as the democratic standard bearer.
 Information reaching here today was to the effect that the Nebraska delegation will come with the avowed intention of initiating a third party movement at the conference. This move, 1t is understood will be oppos- ed by Michigan and Ohio delegates. The Nebraska delegation will be headed by Ray Harrop, president of the economic league of Omaha. Thus far, according to William T. Kron- berg. secretary of the Allied Ford For President clubs. acceptances have been received from delegates repre- senting 21 states. All, he said, are members of Ford clubs. While ad- hitting that the Nebraska delegation would come with the purpose of starting a third party movement, he declined to discuss that point be- yond saying it would meet opposition. Mir. Kronberg pointed out that no prominent political figures had been invited to the conference. This, he said, had been done deliberately.
 He added that neither Mir. Ford nor any representative of his organization has been invited. This is an inde- pendent movement" he said, and they will not be asked to come"

CITY ELECTION
IS QUIET AFFAIR

If there is any interest in Win
nemucca's forthcoming election Of
a mayor and three city councilmen
it has so far failed to materialize.
Next Monday is the last day upon
which candidates can file nominat-
ing petitions, while registration OF
voters closed last Tuesday. So by
all the rules the coming contest
should be fairly we'll lined up.
Probable candidates for mayor are
K. p. Sites and C. E. Haviland,
both garage owners, while candi-
dates for councilmen have narrowed
down to E. A. Smith another garage
man in the first ward, j. d. Minor
in the second ward, and B. j.
Loinaz in the third yard. An en-
deavor apparently is being made to
bring out third mayoralty candi-
date, but to date without success,
and it may be that other candidates
will be announced to assure con-
.ests for the council in all wards.
Registration figures in County Clerk
Davey's office show that 796 voters
are qualified, there being 322 in
the first ward, 1913 in the second
and 276 in the third. May 8 is cleo
ton day.

; JENKINS WOOL CLIP
SOLD FOR Is CENTS

= The Silver State has been
" successful in securing reliable
@ information that the w. T.
" Jenkins Company wool clip was
9 sold yesterday at the top price
=" SO far reported in this state of
9 forty-five cents per pound. The
@ buyer was the Boston firm of
Q Hollowell, Jones and Donald.
@ The Jenkins clip, however, is
Q always keenly competed for by
9 woolbuyers, not alone because
o it is one of the largest in the
9 state, but also because it is one
. of the best clips in quality.
9 1t is not likely, therefore,
+" reasonable to suppose that
Q other clips will command this
9 high figure. On the other hand,
@ of course, other inferior clips
9 may bring more money as the
6. season advances. this being the
9 chance nature of the wool busi-
. ness. The jenkins Company
9 will clip in excess of a quarter
9 of a million pounds of wool
9 this year, making the value
4. of the wool sold yesterday
9 something around $125, 900.
. Another wool sale was re-
@ ported today when Ramundo
@ Erquiago sold to Koshland &
9 Co. of Boston, of which B. J.
Z: Loinaz is local agent, the price
(: paid being slightly in excess of
@ forty-two cents, this informa-
o tion, however, not being con-

NEXT WEDNESDAY
IS F|REMEN' s DAY
Postponed Date Fixed by> Fire Chief
and Observance to Be Conducted
in the Nixon During the
Afternoon Hours

Next Wednesday, April %, has
been designated as Fire Prevention
Day" by the Winnemucca Volunteer
Fire Department and will be fit
tingly observed by the local organi-
zation.
A meeting will be held at 2:30 p.
m. at the Nixon opera house on the
above date, when ]. W. Stevens,
chief of the Fire Prevention Bureau
of the Pacific Coast, will address
the townspeople on the work of the
department. Invitations have also
been extended to Governor Scrug-
ham and Fire Chief Hawcroft of
Reno to be in attendance and a
meeting of unusual interest is prom
ised. Evans orchestra has been
engaged to render selections
throughout the meeting and the pre-
sentations of flags and certificates
to the winners of the essay contest
on Fire Prevention" recently con-
Quoted in the local schools by the
department, will be made.
Chief G. S. Asbury has expressed
desire that all business houses will
close in the afternoon, during the
time of the meeting, not alone to
grant their employees, many of whom
are members of the local fire de-
partment, an opportunity of hearing
Mr.. Stevens, but to show the visi-
tors that Winnemucca is wide awake
to the extreme Importance of this
issue and that the efforts Of the To-
cal department are sponsored by the
business men of the community.
The afternoon meeting will be
followed by a banquet in Winneva
Hall to the visiting members of the
organization, the city officials and
the members of the local depart
ment and will mark the date of the
fifth anniversary banquet held by
the department members.

market, contrary to general belief,
is all right. The trouble lies in high
production costs. l do not know
what we are going to do for help
this year, and that is one reason
why ! am not particularly worried
over the prospect of a light hay
crop. If we should get heavy
crop | doubt if we would be able
to put it up at cost that in the
end would show profit. We have
years supply ahead, so under the
conditions perhaps it will be just
as well if we only get some good
pasture. As it is our COW hands
are all quitting to go to the sheep
camps. | can't blame them for
that, for the reason that if man
can secure 1925 per month heard

stay with cattle at $55, and it's a
certain thing that we can't meet
the sheepmen's competition for

| Continuing north from Willow
Point, on the road to McDermitt,
mining activities in the vicinity of
Paradise Hill disclose considerable
of interest and commercial import
ance to Humboldt county. Three
miles east of the top of Paradise
Hill are the old workings of J. p.
Clough and his associates, known
as the Charleston Hill National
Mines, but which should not he con-
fused with another Charleston Hills
Mining Company, controlled by H.
Warren of this city, the workings
of which are located in the Ma
tional district. Another mining en-
| terprise in the Paradise Hill district
is that of E. Pahitsch and associates,
working the Ruby group, where ii
is said eight men are employed in
development work. This writer
however, did not secure reliable and
accurate information concerning this
enterprise.
When seen, Mr.. Clough of the
Charleston Hill company displayed
considerable enthusiasm concerning
the present status of his enterprise
and showed that it is of greater
magnitude than is generally known
by the fact that the company has
recently purchased a GMC truck
which is used exclusively for haul
ing materials to the workings. Two
men are regularly employed in this
truck transportation, showing that
considerable moving of mine equip
ment is under way. At the pres
ent time, Mr.. Clough said, twenty
men are employed at the mine and
development work is going for
ward rapidly. One of the recent
accomplishments at the mine is the
erection of a dining room capable
of seating SO people, in anticipation
of increased employment. The mine
itself, he said, is in excellent con-
dition, with great quantities of
good ore exposed in several places.
Recently a considerable quantity
of unusually high-grade shver-gold
ore has been sacked, but when asked
if this would be shipped Mr.. Clough
stated that it would not, for the
very good reason that present plans
are for the erection of mill upon
the property during the coming sum-
mer. A visit to the mine was not
made.
The next stop made was at And
orno station, approximately forty
miles from Winnemucca, immedi-
ately beyond which the road branches
off which leads to the Orovada
community. Andorno station is in
reality a hotel, built during the
early days by the late A. Pasquale

morning and Immediately went into
conference with Mayor Brandon,
County Health Officer Giroux, other
physicians, and E. H. Gilman, super
lntendent of the Winnemucca Water

however, should not be construed to
mean that it is the water supply

5ponsible for the present condition

conclusion would be manifestly un-
fair in light of present ignorance
concerning the possible source.
samples of water were sent to Reno
Tor analysis several days ago and

the next "a hours. Because of de-
ay in the return of such reports it
S presumed that the analysis is
negative in nature, else telegraph
would probably be resorted to.
When seen today, DR.. Albert said
hat he of course has had insuffi-
eient time to arrive at any definite
conclusions, but that he hopes to

Prof. S. C. Dinsmore, state pure

HELD
MEETING MONDAY
Tent Show Ordinanee Held Over De-
cause of Protests and Eleetion
Boards Named for Coming
Contest of May 3 j,

The Silver State is unable to re-
port the city council meeting in it,
usual complete manner this week
for the very good reason that the
meeting was not attended by .
member of this newspaper, but from
Mayor T. A. Brandon it Is learned
that nothing Of Importance or par
ticular interest to the people Of
this city was transacted. s.
Perhaps subject which has
created interest in some quarters
is the proposal that the city ordi-
nance regulating tent shows to be
changed to increase the license fees
required of such attractions. This
was brought up for discussion at
the meeting and it developed that
considerable opposition exists to the
proposition, the contention being
made that Manager H. oastler Of
the American theatre, who also has
under lease Winnemucca's only
other playhouse, the Nixon opera
house, is looking for q monopoly"
of the show business here and seeks
to have the ordinance passed only
as a means of keeping competing
entertainment out Of this city.
When Manager Oastler appeared
before the board at the last previ-
Gus meeting he made II very plain
that it is not his intention to keep
other attractions out Of this city,
for the reason that he did not be-
lieve such action would constitute
good business policy. He stated that
he always has been anxious that
road shows play here and that legiti-
mate companies have appeared
equally willing to come here to
play in the Nixon at an established
percentage arrangement common in
practically all cities. He said that
his request was not and would not
result in a monopoly. The eject
of increasing the license fees, he
said, would be to cause the few
tent organizations now travelling the
country to use the Nixon opera
house, at no increase in price to
the public, with the added ,dvant-
age of better seats, cleaner sur
roundings and better Satisfaction all
around. He showed copies of ordi-
nances from Reno and other Ne
vada cities showing the license fees
to be in excess of the amount re-
quested to be put in effect here.
At the time, members Of the
council were inclined to ag1es with
Mr.. Oastler's proposal, but in view
Of the protests filed it was apparent
ly agreed that the matter be allowed
to rest pending further expressions
Of public opinion, although no action
of any sort was taken concerning
the matter.
Upon request of Rev. Hugo Meise-
kothen of the Catholic church the
councilmen agreed that the city
street equipment may be used for
excavating at the site of the new
Catholic church, the church to pay
for the use of same.
Officers for the city election to be
held May were named as follows:
First and second wards. voting place
