Roger Corbet was chairman of the discussion at which many of the teachers expressed their views on proposals for federal aid to schools. No objection was made to the federal aid program for vocational training under the Smith-Hughes act. The offer of federal funds actually means no saving to the taxpayers, the teachers said, and "strings" attached to such offers shift the control of the school system to Washington bureaus. GUILD TO MEET Members of the Trinity Guild auxiliary will meet Tuesday afternoon at 2:15 o'clock at the Trinity Crypt. Mrs.

W. E. Cobb and Mrs. Sam Fair and warmer weather prevailed here today In contrast to conditions which were reported for the state in general last week. The week averaged slightly below normal in temperature over the western portion and somewhat above normal in the northeastern part according to the weekly summary Issued by the weather bureau.

An influx of warm, moist air from the south followed toward the close of the week by colder air from the northwest caused general unsettled conditions with widely distributed rainfall and light snjw over the high mountains. Unsettled weather delayed farm work, including late haying and threshing, but rains which were heavy in the northerly stations were of great benefit to ranges and pastures and considerably improved the outlook for late fall and winter. Cattle continue in good condition and sheep started moving toward winter ranges. Marketing of cattle and lambs went on gradually. There was considerable movement of cattle to low ranges and pastures and feeder lots.

Reports from various stations follow: Reno: Some late haying and some potato digging were carried on during the week. Many cattle are in feeder lots. Nixon: Rain, 0.17 inch on the fourteenth laid the dust on roads and benefited ranges. Cattle on the low range look good. Winnemucca: Precipitation fell on During July, August and September.

Nevada residents purchased 920,658 gallons of beer, according to the quarterly report of W. K. Klaus, liquor tax head. Liquors and cordials sales totalled 56,478 gallons, and wine consumption amounted to 35,380 gallons during the three months' period. Revenues from the sale of state liquor tax stamps for the third quarterly period amounted to $42,862.78 compared with an average of for each of the first and second quarters.

Revenues from the sale of importers and wholesale licenses for 1938 amount to $15,841.67, bringing the total receipts from liquor taxes to $147,541.16 for the first nine months of 1938. The total 1938 collections are less by about five per cent than the 1937 receipts, Klaus says. The 1938 funds are thus apportioned: Administration, $7377; to state distributive school fund, University of Nevada revolving fund, redemption of relief and unemployment bonds, $49,057. In his report Klaus states that the relief and unemployment bonds outstanding on January 1, 1939, will amount to about $90,000 and he suggests that provisions be made for proper apportionment of the liquor tax funds that they may not lie idle. The number of liquor establishments operating In the state during the quarterly period, according to the report, are as follows: Breweries, two; importers and wholesale liquor, beer and wine dealers, twenty; importers and wholesale beer dealers, seventeen; importers of liquar, beer and wine who sell retail, five; importers of beer who sell retail, three; retailers selling packaged goods, fifty-four; bars and taverns, 564; retail dealers, beer only, tie 4 4 1r4 JOSEPH H.

"Ole" Elliott, prominent Ely busi- i ness man and a colorful figure in many of the old time mining camps of Nevada, died suddenly this morning at five o'clock. Elliott was stricken ill last evening with a stroke at his home in the Nevada Hotel and suffered addi- tional strokes during the night, death resulting tnis morning from a cerebral hemorrhage. Born "near Winnemucca, on October 8, 1869, he followed the boom camps of the state in his early days.

He took part in the famous gold rush to Alaska and then returned to this state to Goldfield where he was associated with Tex Rickard in the Old Northern Club, during the height of the mining excitement there. He was later in Rawhide where he operated a club, and in 1906 came to Ely and with Tex Rickard as his partner built the Northern Hotel which he owned and operated to the present time. He was also one of three owners of the Hotel Nevada where he made his home. An ardent sportsman Elliott maintained a summer camp at Hailey, and but recently returned from a vacation trip there. He was a member of the Ely Rotary Club, Elks Lodge, and a director in the White Pine Fair and Racing Association.

He is survived by his wife. Funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock in Ely under the directions of the Elks. TO Reaffirming its stand of several months ago, the Nevada supreme court denied a petition for a rehearing in a case in which the Crystal Bay Corporation sought to offset a $25,000 note in the United Nevada Bank with an assignment of that amount from the personal deposit in the closed bank of Mrs. Esther Biltz, who is one of the prin- cipal owners of the Crystal Bay Corporation. The court held that such an offset would constitute a preferential claim on the personal deposit of Mrs.

Biltz, who shortly after the bank closed handed the corporation a check on the United Nevada Bank for the amount of the corporation's indebtedness. The offset was first denied in the district court and the supreme court upheld the decision of the lower court recently, '34 DODGE De Luxe Coupe with Radio; Heater and new paint.

News of his death was received in Reno from his wife, who is now in a La- Jolla hospital recovering from injuries received in a fall several weeks ago. Mr. Booth was about eighty i years old, and had worked in printing shops and newspapers since he was a small boy.

He was the son of "Honest John" Booth, who pub- lished the old Silver State when that paper was located in Austin in 'the early mining days. The Silver State followed the mining booms from Austin to Belmont, where it ap peared as the Courier. Young William Booth soon left the Courier and joined the rush to the Candelaria district. Mining did not appeal to the young man, and he moved to Jamestown, in Sonoro county, where he published the Jim- 1 1 1 4-4vA Drt. I town Argus iur a unci uwc.

nc-turning to Nevada, he was one of the first arrivals at Tonopah, which then was known as "Butler City," in honor of the discoverer, Jim Butler. Some of Booth's old friends from other mining districts backed him In establishing a newspaper in the new camp. A mass meeting was called to raise funds for the proposed paper. Tasker L. Oddie, then the general manager of the Tonopah Mining Company, was one of the backers of the paper.

"Billy" Douglas, now dead, donated a lot on which to build a home for the paper. The first edition of the Tonopah Bonanza was published on June 18, 1901, and from the start was an ardent Republican publication. When a big fire swept through Tonopah, the Bonanza plant was one of the buildings destroyed. Booth salvaged a little equipment and a few hands-ful of type from the ruins, estab-, lished a temporary office In a tent, and appeared on time the next day. Business men in Tonopah passed the hat and raised $1000 in gold and silver to enable Booth to rebuild his newspaper office.

In 1910, he was the Republican candidate for state printer. He lost the office, and later wrote that he had never attempted to conceal the truth that he had received the smallest vote of any candidate. He also boasted that he was the only editor In Nevada who ever was imprisoned for libel. He was placed in jail on the order of the district attorney, whom he had criticized, but the sentence turned out to be more or less of a joke, for Booth conducted his paper from the grand Jury rooms where he was held in custody. He was one of the last of the old-time newspaper men who wrote all of his copy In long hand and refused to even attempt the mechanical mysteries of a typewriter.

Eight years ago he sold the Bonanza to Prank Garside, publisher of the rival Tonopah Times. For. a brief time he published the Hawthorne News, but failing health and advanced age caused his retirement, and he and his wife moved to Southern California. westwoodIabor agreement IS FILED WESTWOOD, Califs Oct. 21 (Special) The final curtain was drawn yesterday on the labor trouble here when Jonathan Rowell, attorney for the National Labor Relations Board, announced that a signed document containing the peace terms was presented in court.
