Langan of the Orrosby county Vi district court for an early disposition of the affairs of the re ceivership of the State Bank and Trust company and the closing of that receivership should bring action on a matter that has been dragging through the courts for a number of years and has brought dissatisfaction to depositors of the defunct institution and trouble to the judge and receiver. Two methods, it seems, are feasible for the closing of the re ceivership if the depositors, through their attorneys, believe that this should be done. One is the selling of the buildings and other assets in Carson, Tonopah, and other parts of Nevada and distributing the return among ther depositors before the receiver is discharged by the judge. Another is the incorporation of the depositors under a special law now on the statute books and the turning over to that corpora tion of all assets of the receivership as they now stand. The cor poration would then be free to dispose of the properties or. retain them for income purposes. Depositors, it is said, are opposed to the disposition of the State Bank building at Tonopah at the price of $41,000 recently offered, for the reason that the -building is bringing in an annual net return of $9000 from rentals. The offered price of $20,000 for the building in Carson City is also held to be too low for disposal at this time. It would seem that under those conditions the course to take would be to form the corporation and let the depositors realize from the little remaining assets of the defunct bank. Receiver Wildes' compensation has been fixed by the court at $90,000 for the time he spent in the receivership, and because his compensation has been stopped it is reasonable to believe that he will not perform efficient service indefinitely without pay. Some action should be taken to give to the depositors that which they should rightfully own. Abounding in interesting figures on the fiscal condition of the state and county governments, the annual report of State Controller George Cole has been printed and distributed through out the state. Assets of the state, government are given as $8,UW,Ijy.4S, divided as 101 lows: Cash in treasury State funds, $911,336.93; special industry trust funds, $42, 456.03..

True, the arguments . were well prepared and the ground was lought for every inch of the way, but Mr. MeNab did not call Mr. Fowler such names as the briefs already filed in the case would lead one to believe he would do when they met. Neither did Mr. McCar ran assail Fowler or his deputy, Robert Richards, on more than the one occasion when he accused the attorney-general of trying to get into the limelight through the prominence of the principals in the action. For this Chief Justice Sanders rebuked him with the state ment that he (Sanders) did not take much stock in that sort of argu-. ment and when McCarran continued with his more pacific line of argument the "spectators realized that their chance for a thrill had been spoiled. i Altogether, the courtroom crowd was disappointed.

In the height of excitement of an interscholaxtic athletic contest' there is an unavoidable amount of ill feeling for the opposing side, but the test of true sportsmanship is to be a good loser in the face of defeat. tioned and led to a fight, on the shoulders of Yerington people after last Saturday's game was proof positive that those people were not in the frame of mind that is conducive to clean athletics.
