OUR WATER
MEASUREMENTS

The measurement of water through
opt the valley will again be in pro
=. qress this summer To great many
.apeople the purpose of determining the
3 underground flow does not seem ap-
narent, and its value from an agri-
cultural standpoint looks doubtful.
a little consideration Of the purposes
r of the work will demonstrate its value
TO the community that will in the near
sot1re take OIL new life by reason of
very important work that is now
under consideration. In recent years
the matter Of pump irrigation in this
=. state has been given serious consider
alton by the authorities Of the Expert
ment stations of the Agricultural de
partment at Washington. ~
It has long been known that the
underfow of this valley varied very
little during most of the year, and
that the depth. in most parts was not
more than few feet from the surface
Last year the Department began the
Investigations in this valley, rs well
lssssin she other principal valleys of the
State, with the object in view of de-
termining the value of the underflow
for purposes of irrigation by means Of
pumps operated with cheap power
which could be none other than cleo
tricity. The Investigations as carried
on last year We're eminently satistac-
tory TO the Department authorities,
aud satisfied them that pump irriga-
CATION in this valley was practicable
and profitable provided some cheap
power could be devised to operate the
pumps. The idea is to have the power
conveyed to the land To be irrigated
and there have the water pumped di-
rectly on the land, and not carried in
bitches for any distance Ii is evident
that water conveyed on land in that
manner must be used economically,
and not wasted by seepage in having
il carried a long distance in bitches
fumes, or other means of conveyance.
The pump is also a matter of serious
consideration.
The mistake that has heretofore
Soeen made in the few experiments that
have been made in various parts of the
State, is that the pump used was of a
capacity entirely out of proportion
with the capacity of the well, in so
much that the pump capacity was 80
much greater than the well, that in a
few hours the well was dry, and the
owner was compelled TO wait until

DIR. LANNING AT 1'"a
"a His OLD TRICKS

Every now and then some one
comes along who claims to have been
influenced to come this way by ''Dr.
Lanning,n notorious swindler, who
attempted to de this valley about six
months ago. The latest victim is a
Mr. MCCARTHY, who was fooled up
here by the oily doctor with the rosy
story of rich mining claims owned by
him, undeveloped as a matter of
course, but assays taken at various
places showing remarkably rich.
Because of some business difficulties
the money necessary to open up the
the mines is tied up in bank, with
the conseqent suffering to the mining
claimst?) Mr. Mccarthy is from Los
Angeles, and came up here ON the
representations as above stated with
the expectations of being able to do
some mining work that would rebound
to his profit. When he arrived he
found out to his sorrow, that the
4Doetor'i did not own any claims and
further that the claims mentioned con-
sisted mostly OF sand hills and granite
boulders. The Doctor referred
himself to Al. Daudel whose father he
had known in Kansas 20 years ago.
Mr.. Daudel stated that he was not a
sponsor of the reputation of the gent
leman of the medical profession" and
further that he is certain that his
father has been in this county consid-
erably longer than 20 years.
Where Lanningis now is unknown,
he was last wanted for forgery in a
California town, but managed to skip
out before the officers could appre-
hend him. 1t is also stated that while
in Reno he Succeeded in enticing a
Young lady of that city TO accompany
him on his travels. lie came up into
this country representing himself as a
wealthy dentist of Sacramento having
become interested with DR. Hennesy
in several mining claims around Car
ter station, and took, out load Of
supplies from Mack Bros. store. He
laid around the Mountain house and
/ Carriers station lforna while when he
returned to town with all the powder,
! and other mining material, 'aand re-
4 turned the same To the store, at the
time spreading the story that he had
run a tunnel in a sufficient depth to
! tap the ledge. He left the next day,
presumably for Reno IA little later
I on the mines that he WAS supposed to
have worked were relocated by other
parties, they having become forfeited
by reason of not having done the as
sessment work. To all mining men:
Give .'Dr. Lanning'' and his rich
mines a wide berth.He owns nothing
ing this country, and anything he says
isabsolutely false. 4di l. sa4anah d

GRADUATING
.I.- .-. ... EXERCISES

Saturday evening witnessed the
closing exercises of the Gardnerville
High school when Lawrence Jacobsen,
Arvin Southworth, Martha Heitman,
Jake Goldstein and Stoddard South
worth graduated from the High
School and are now fitted to enter the
University without conditions.
Each of the young graduates pre-
sented a thesis that showed a great
deal of study, and the subjects were
wisely selected to appeal to the
audience, and they were appreciated,
was amply demonstrated by the ap-
plause of the listeners.
3 Gardnerville school has been blessed
with a first class corps of teachers.
Professor Buchanan has left no stone
unturned that would aid in the ad-
vancement of his classes. Miss Mills
has had charge of the middle room for
the last two terms, and her popularity
was forcibly shown by the expressions
of appreciation shown by her classes
on the night of their closing exercises.
Miss Ritchford has had charge of the
primary and receiving grades for the
past four terms, and by her earnest
ness and close application to work has
earned the reputation of being one of
the most proficient aud successful
primary teachers in the State.

A Mummified Foot

DIR. Berry received a specimen of
mumifcationth the other day that is a
most unpleasant article to handle The
foot evidently came from an amputa-
tion as il shows the marks of the saw
where the foot was cut of above the
ankle. All of the toes are perfect,
the ankle joint natural, and on one
side is shown the wound that caused
the amputation. The entire foot re-
sembles the foot of mummy. The
specimen was found near Genoa lying
in the sand, where il is supposed that
it had dried out. Whether it is foot
of a white man or an Indian it is diff

husband had found a package contain
ing $4,000 of the stolen money under
one OF the seats on Conductor Dan

to Chicago. He had kept this Nancy
and used it for his own purposes. but
had been guilty OF no other Offense in

nit nothing further.

pecting this, and was prepared for il.
He realized the shock that would be
caused in Schwartz's mind by his Rife's
unexpected confession, and counted on
this to lead to further admissions. It
was, therefore of the highest import
ance that credible witnesses should
overhear all that transpired in the in
terview between Schwartz and his wife
With this end in view. the room where
the interview was TO take place had
been arranged so that a number Of
witnesses could see and hear without
their presence being suspected, and the
sheriff of the county, n reading mer-
chant. and a leading banker OF the
town, We're waiting there in readiness.
AS soon as the door had closed and
the husband and wife were left alone,
Schwartz exclaimed:

around Watts and my necki'
why, Harry, I had 10 tell some
thing. he knew so much. You can

You ought to know better than TO

The man walked back and forth. a
prey 10 the most violent emotions, his
wife trying vainly to quiet him. At
each at1ect1ouatc tOuch ne would brush
her off roughly, with a curse, and go
on pacing back and forth fiercely.
Suddenly he burst out:

Woodshed, under the whole WoOdpie
They continued 10 talk for over an
hour, referring 10 the murder and rob
berry repeatedly, and furnishing eVI-
dence enough to establish beyond any
question the guilt Of both Schwartz
and Watt.

in several examinations had shown
