Physical Training

The physical training classes are
now organized and we'll under way.
Miss Gleason, who is in charge OF
the girls, has been buhy with the
physical examinations, while Mr..
Gray has also been engaged in that
duty for boys. Regular work will be
under way beginning next Monday,
Miss Gleason is preparing charts
for the girls, giving weights, etc.,
which the girls may refer to from
time to time in order to note any
improvement physically. The train
ing will include all kinds of exer-
cises to develop the muscles of the
body, and later will probably take
the form of basketball for those
who wish to play. This will probably
also hold good for the boys.

SOCIAL EVENTS

The fall social season is fairly
started in Winnemucca, if several
events which have taken place are
any criterion, and with other enjoy
able social activities scheduled for
coming days the season should be

remember that as they enjoy read

reading of similar happy occasions
of which they may be familiar. As
no newspaper reporter can be ex-
pected to be a telepathist, this news
may only be printed if someone first
is kind enough to inform a reporter.
So if you would see this column
grow, use the phone, No. FL. Also,
the publication of lists of names of
those in attendance at social func-

such publication, we all know, is
common practice in all other cities,

have prepared an authentic list of

Oldfield to secure a bounty for
bringing in his second artesian well
from the county and state, as pro-
vided by the statutes. Under the
law he is entitled to recompense
from the county amounting to $500
per foot for the depth of the well
below 500 feet. Under another Sec
ton of the statute he is entitled to
a bounty of S1.25 per foot for the
first 200 feet; for the third 100
feet, $3.50 per foot, for the fourth
100 feet, $500 per foot; for the
fifth 100 feet, $2.75 per foot; and
for each additional 100 feet SO
cents per foot to depth of 1000
feet; and $500 per foot for each
additional foot for we'll flowing
10000 gallons each twenty-four
hours. In addition to this he is en-
titled to $1,000 for a well flowing
10000 gallons each twenty-four
hours. Mr.. Anderson's new well, it
is understood, flows about 10000
gallons in twenty-four hours, hence
he will be entitled to considerable
bounty from the county and state.

DRILLING WELLS
FOR IRRIGATION

During the present week the
board of county commissioners clos
ed a deal with John Freewalt for
the drilling of an artesian well in
White river valley a short distance
from the town of Preston, says the
Ely Record. Mr.. Freewalt recently
drilled a second well for H. l.. And
erson in Spring Valley, which was a
success in very respect, and will add
considerable acreage to the cult
waited area of M. Anderson's ranch
holdings. Mr.. Freewalt found the
old well, sunk by the county at
Preston several years ago, in bad
condition, hence it was not thought
advisable to reclaim the hole and
sink it to greater depth. About 200
feet of the casing was pulled from
the old hole and will be used in
sinking the new well.
Mr.. Freewalt will use the govern
ment we'll drilling outfit which for
some years past has been in posses
ion of White Pine county. The con-
tract is most favorable to the county
for the reason that if Mr.. Freewalt
succeeds in bringing in gusher, he
will have practically an unlimited
field for operation in the future, as
many wells will doubtless be drilled
there during the next few years
H. L. Anderson, of Spring valley
has filed papers with County Clerk

BULLION IS
FOUND IN RENO

Thorough persistent efforts of de-
tectives and members of the Reno
police department a bar of silver
bullion, valued at $4,000, which
disappeared a year ago while in
transit from Dayton, was recovered
in Reno yesterday. This was reveal
ed Wednesday and it further be-
came known that the officers have
one man under surveillance and
he may be taken into custody at
any hour, says the Gazette.
Since the bullion disappeared the
officers have been relentless in their
search and succeeded finally in OBJ
tanning information which led to
the recovery of the bar of precious
metal.
Trace of the bullion which was
placed aboard a Southern Pacific
train at Dayton about a year ago,
was lost at Mound House where it
was supposed to be transferred to
a Virginia & Truckee train. At that
time the theory was advanced that it
had been stolen from the station
platform at Mound House.
Investigators learned that its Gus
,odian had placed it inside an emp
" ice cream freezer consigned to
Reno, but search failed to reveal it.
rhe officers then began to trace
he freezer. They questioned the
nan who was supposed to receive
!, but he professed to have no
of the bar Of bullion.
About that time a pawn broker
, Reno received a visit from a
ian who wanted to know if he
'ould buy a bar of bullion. This
formation he conveyed to the po-
ce and it proved to be the clew |

Public Speaking

One of the several new subjects
that have been introduced in the
school curriculum is public speak
ing. Miss Gleason has charge of this
department, and from all reports it
is very interesting. To those not
taking the coures, it must seem as
if a menagerie of every beast of
the field and fowl of the air had
been turned on the helpless pupils
Strange indeed are the sounds issu-
ing from the Junior assembly. But
though it seems hardly possible
there is a method to their madness
and, in future, when our promising
young orators stand forth in the
auditorium, or in Student Body
and spout forth well rounded
phrases and clauses, we will realize
the value of these first exercises
which seem so strange.

Miss Gleason will take care OF the

of our players on the boys and girls
basketball teams graduated last

of the school and townspeople, we
should go over the top with a high
average of victories.

true. Coal is being fired east of

Shop Notes

1t will be gratifying for US to
hear that interest in the shop work
this year is very great, and Mr..
Fuller, who is in charge of that de-
partment, states that there are about
ten of the freshman boys enrolled,
while many of the old members of
last year are back. The boys in the
machine shop are now getting
acquainted with the machinery
which they are to use, and seem to
find it very interesting indeed, from
all reports. AS soon as the supply of
steel arrives they will begin work
on a practical plan, but as yet are
only doing preliminary exercises to
prepare themselves for the work
that will follow. From the rumbling
and roaring that comes from the
depths where the shop is located, it
would seem that some of the frosh
were having very successful results
with their preliminary exercises"
However, in time the innocent babes
will become used to their new sur
roundings and settle down to bust
ness. Here's to success, fellows

Student Body

Although the faculty and student
body have been more than busy in
arranging their various schedules
and courses, still they have found
time to make a very successful
attempt at recognizing the Student
Body. Last Monday Mr.. Mitchell
called an assembly for the purpose
of making several announcements
to the pupils. After the various
announcements had been made, the
assembly developed into meeting
of the Student Body for the purpose
of nominating officers. Interest ran
high, and there were quite a number
of nominees for the various posi-
tons.
The nominees were as follows:
president, Fred Defenbaugh, Elwyn
Hubbard; vice president, Evalyn
Brown. Bob Bankofier, Elmer Lyon;
secretary, Lillian Pearce, Fred Hol-
loway; treasurer Eileen Sutton !;
boys athletic manager, Elmer Lyon,
Joe German, Hampton Brady;
girls athletic manager, Elsie Sum-
merfield, Mary Guthrie; boys yell
leader, Craven King, Frank Garteiz,
Joe Lyon, Merle German; girls
yell leader, Mary Guthrie, Susie
Abel; editor of the Humboldt" "
Fred Holloway, Bertis Goldsworthy,
Elmer Lyon, Eileen Sutton; editor
of the "Winnada," Evalyn Brown,
Elmer Lyon.
In the absence of the former
president, vice-president, and secre-
tary, the treasurer, Fred Defen-
baugh, was appointed temporary
chairman until the new officers
were elected, and carried on the
meeting in very creditable and or
derby manner. After the meeting
was adjourned, the four different
classes called class meetings, and
during these meetings new officers
for the coming year were nominated
and elected.
The nominees successful in the
various classes were as follows:
Senior class-President, Elmer
Lyon; vice-president, Elwyn Hub
bard; secretary, Fred Defenbaugh;
treasurer, Joe German.
Junior class-President Fred
Holloway, vice president, Berton
Smith; secretary, George King;
treasurer, Frank Garteiz.

Merle German; secretary, Vera
Leonard; treasurer, Bertram Eng
fish.
Freshman class-President, Ted
LaPoint; vice-president, Joe Lyon;
secretary, Magdalene Selby; treas
urer, George Vargas.
Other business carried on at these
class meetings was the choosing of
class colors for the interclass basket
ball games to be played this season.
At the regular meeting of the
Student Body next Friday the cleo
ton of student body officers will be
decided by the vote of the school.
