Sparks Centennial
Sept. 1, 1910: This issue of the Daily Sparks Tribune was published Sept. 1, 1910 and featured articles on topics that don’t usually make front-page news today (Rev. P.H. Willis returning home from a conference in Lovelock; granting of a divorce to Mrs. Annie Driscoll) and topics that still make the headlines (candidates for U.S. Senate, road construction, community celebrations).
