ENJOYED THE FOURTH
= AT WATER CANYON

Leaving Winnemucca early in
the morning, number of young
folks of the city celebrated the
Fourth by a picnic trip to Water
Canyon. The boys provided an
elaborate lunch which included a
number of water melons and two
and half gallons of ice cream.
After properly celebrating In
dependence Day with quantity
of fireworks that had been taken
along, the boys and girls disposed
of most of the lunch. Later in the
day after enjoying water fight in
which everyone gained relief from
the heat by getting thoroughly
drenched, the balance of the lunch
was cleaned up and the tired but
happy crowd voted it perfect day.

DEATH TAKE LARGE TOLL
AT RAILROAD CROSSINGS

Running at usual speed, only Is
seconds are required for a train to
reach the crossing from point a
quarter of a mile away, says r. j.
Clancy, in charge of safety work
for the Southern Pacific Railroad,
yet during the past five years that
Is seconds of time--barely more
than a quarter of a minute-was
so valuable to 261 people that they
lost Their lives trying to cross the
railroad ahead of the trains on the
Southern Pacific System and 1887
more were injured.
SO anxious were the occupants of
minute that they ran into the watch
man at the crossings, who were try
ing to save their lives. Two of the
watchmen were killed and % were
injured.
A four months campaign to re-
duce these accidents to motorists
at grade crossings has just been in
augurated by the Southern Pacific
Hundreds of thousands of posters
and other advertising matter is be-
ing distributed and displayed in con-
spicuous places where the drivers of
automobiles and other vehicles will
see it.
Winemucca has been very fortu-
nate so far in regard to crossing
accidents although some time ago
truck, driven by a prominent mining
man of this vicinity, was struck by
"a Southern Pacific train which
luckily resulted only in damaging
the rear axle of the truck.
Recent reports from railroad
sources show that a number of
Winnemucca motorists are getting
very careless lately and flirting with
death by trying to beat the train
to the crossing. A serious accident
bringing death and injury, will be
the natural result of this careless
ness if continued.

The Mennonite farmers who mi
grated from the Canadian provinces
to Mexico now want to return to
Canada. The 5000 families bought
vast tracts of Mexican land, gem
orally paying one-third in cash. In
one region where they purchased
10000 acres, only an inch and a
half of rain has fallen since March,
1922. In attempting to drill well
the workers got down PIP feet
through solid rock and had not
struck water. However, they still
have $2,400,000 on deposit in Ell

where they left off they will be
