ANTELOPE ARE SEEN
NEAR WlNNEMUCCA

Eight head of prong-horned ante
lope, representatives of a once
abundant specie of native American
wild life, that is following closely on
the heels of the buffalo and the wild
pigeon toward extinction, We're pres
ent Sunday afternoon in the sand
hills behind the Bank ranch, accord
ing to information received this week
from Game Warden Jack kirwin.
The antelope, according to word from
Kirwin, are closer to Winnemucca at
present than they have been in the
past thirty or forty years, and only
the extreme drought has compelled
them to abandon their usual range,
about forty miles from that city.
Kirwin said that the antelope were
showing the effects of the lack of
water and were apparently remaining
in that vicinity to partake of water
and grass that is available.

NO DRINKING CUP
LAW In NEVADA

In a digest of laws against the
common drinking cup, recently pre-
pared by the general health bureau,
it is noted that Nevada is one of
the two states of the country that
have not passed prohibitory legisla-
tion against this menace to public
health. Forty-six of the states have
recognized the disease infection that
is spread through the use of COM
mon drinking cups and have legis-
lated them out of existence, either
entirely or in certain places, such as
railroad trains, schools or hotels.
The United States public health
service in bulletin 81 places the re-
sponsibility for the communication
of many diseases to the use of the
common drinking cup that is imprep-
erly washed between users. Among
these maladies are tuberculosis, ty-
phoid fever, scarlet fever, pneumonia,
influenza, diphtheria, measles, ton
silitis, infantile paralysis, grip and
common colds.
Health officials throughout the
country now are warning against this
spreader of disease, as they find it
an agent in creating epidemics and
for carrying diseases from one state
to another. Their Investigations have
proven that outbreaks of dangerous
illness in schools and elsewhere are
due to such common receptacles or
to their use in public soda fountains
and other public places.

STAG PARTY AT
MONTROSE Home
Given in Compliment to Har-
vey Boone on Eve of De-
parture for San Francisco

Sunday night, in compliment to II.
II. Boone, Geo. A. Montrose gave a
stag party at his Gardnerville home
to which twenty or more friends of
Mr.. Boone were invited. Both Mr..
Boone and hIontrose were kids to-
gether in Bodie, the old mining camp
of Mono county. I'm recollection of
this Mr. Montrose transformed his
home into representation of the
Bank saloon. Each guest was given
fifty dollars in iron money and were
informed that the one having the
greatest amount of cash at certain
hour would be awarded a prize
Crap games, roulette, horse racing
and poker flourished and the play
ers either became paupers or capt.
talists in less time than it takes to
tell it. Those that went broke, found
little trouble in borrowing from their
more lucky companions. Just before
the fatal moment arrived John Brown
bet seventy-five iron dollars on 9
horse race at five to one odds ano
won. BY this stroke of good lucl
he was awarded the prize, consisting
of thermos bottle.
After the games, Mr.. Montrost
served an elaborate luncheon which
was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
With hearty handshakes that come
from years of close companionship
Mr.. Boone received the good wishes
of those present for success and pros
perity in his new field of endeavor
he having decided to cast his lot ir
San Francisco and left for that city

TROPHY is PROMISED
FOR HEAVIEST VOTING

Governor Scrugham has received
from Golfers Weekly announcement
of the proposal to give a handsome
silver and gold trophy to the state
which shows the greatest increase in
the percentage of the vote between
this and the last national election
He is requested to issue a proelama-
ton on the subject.
Nevada stands in the front rank OF
percentage of those exercising the
franchise. In 1923 sixty per cent OF
those eligible voted at the general
election. Consequently it will be
more difficult to better this propor-
tion in this state than in some 9TH
ers which habitually cast anywhere
from 80 to so per cent of the possi-
BILE number.

SAY NON-RESIDENTS NOT
PAYING FOR LICENSES

Revision of the Nevada traffic act
that will effectively prevent non-res
ident trucks and stages from operat-
ing motor cars in Nevada without
taking out Nevada licenses will be
recommended to the next legislature
by the highway department of this
state, according to statement which
1t has issued.
According to officials of the Ne
vada department considerable num-
Der of nonresident owners are oper-
ating trucks and stages in this state
under licenses issued by other states
and are escaping license fees upon
the ground that their visits to Me-
Vada are only occasional and tenn
porary. This, according to the de-
partment, is unfair to Nevada owners
who have paid license fees.

ANOTHER VERSION
OF PINE NUT OMEN

An old time resident of Snake val
lev who speaks Shoshone like a ma
tive American, who visited Ely last
week, was somewhat excited over an
interview which he recently had with
n medicine man of the Shoshones.
who predicted dire ealamities for the
intermountain section. The medicine
man is bowed in form with the pass
ing of many years but his intellect
is as keen as that of the youngest
warrior of his tribe, hence his predle-
ton is taken with seriousness by all
members of the tribe, according TO
our informant, who reports his IN
terview with the medicine man as
follows: :.
"Many years ago my father he tell
me his father tell him great medicine
chief Shoshones say sometimes no
rain he come two, maybe three year.
Grass and trees he die, deer and
jackrabbit he all die, but Great spn1t

HIGH PRICE is PAID
FOR NEVADA LAMBS

Seven carloads of Nevada lambs,
offered for sale on the Denver mar
ket, brought $3.50 last Tuesday,
according to a news article appear
in the Denver Daily Record Stock
man. In view of the fact that the
lamb and sheep markets suffered a
sharp decline Tuesday, the top price
paid for the lambs speaks well of
the product from this state. The
article did not mention where the
lambs came from. 1t states, however,
that the decline in price at Denver
ranged from twenty-five to fifty
cents.
The lambs weighed approximately
eighty-one pounds each.
