OIL Trouhlea.

Engineers are fully satisfied over
the prospect that they will not be
much troubled for nine or ten months
over the question of oil purchased
for use on board ships Of war. Con-
tracts have been made with two firms
for supplying nearly one million gal
Ions of this material. 1t is expected
II will not be necessary to seek bids
again until next June, which VIII
carry the supply through the present
fiscal year. Then contract unooubt.
ly will be awarded covering the
quantity Of oil which will be required
for the twelve months Of the next
fiscal year. The complaints made by
naval engineers who had to use the
sil on board ships, on one hand, ahd
the protests made of discrimination
and unfair treatment on the part of
the lowest bidders and contractors,
'ne the other hand, kept the navy de-
partment in kind of controversy
much of the time. The new system
Is expected to be more satisfactory
In all respects.

that it established plant here. The

charge. But recently he received
the appointment of postmaster of

portant business connected with
his mining property, has made it

dents in the oldest town in all

new CREAMERY
IN OPERATION
Carson Valley Has Wide Reputation
For Superior Quality Of its
Creamery Products.

The Fairview creamery was put
in operation this week and the
golden squares of a Nevada pro-
duct are being shipped to California
To fill the growing demands for An
article that has already made Car
son Valley famous as dairy CEN
ter by the establishment of the
Douglas creamery some fifteen
years ago From the very beginning
1t has never been able to meet the
demands made by the commission
houses. This of course is attribut-
I'd to the superior quality of the
Carson Valley product. This fact
is because this Valley produces the
finest hay of any agricultural dis
trict on the western coast; because
the COWS are pastured during the
summer months on meadows of
green feed foot high; because the
farmers take extra care of their
herds, and because the creamery
has always been in charge OF
competent men. That is why the
Carson Valley product demands
first place in the butter market.
Geo. Fay and Fritz Dressler
have established the new creamery
only after considerable inticement
of the farmers living in the immed-
late vicinity of Fairview. 1t is
stated that during the winter
months it is difficult and trying
work to got their milk delivered Ia
the Douglas creamery.

The announcement by the Tax
Receiver of Douglas county that
all taxes must must be paid in

ment during the past week. This
ruling means that checks on any

certificates will not be accepted by
the county in payment for taxes.
Time alone will tell what this un-
avoidable ruling will result in, but
present indications would lead one
to believe that it may be very un-
plasant, and does not seem quite
the proper thing at this time. A
large property holder placed it to

and cate is being shipped to the

late their cash but instead send

steps to protect banks by declaring
leagal holidays, why can't it pro-
tect property holders.
ITO prevent serious and damaging
results that must befall every tax

able duty of Governor John Sparks

WASHOE INDIANS
ARE FIGHTERS
Fill up on Bad Whiskey With the
Result that Three Of Their
Tribe Receives Wounds.

The Washoe Indians of this
vicinity went on = rampage last
Monday morning and before they
had gained their equilibrium, at
least three Of their number gave
evidence Of q busy engagement
with big knife. During Sunday
night they were furnished with un-
limited quantities Of liquor and
the braves reeled in drunksness.
When daylight appeared they
bsgaI to mix things and
during bloody encounter below
Millsrville, johnson, q half-breed,
was stabbed several times about
the head and face. Later in the
day another encounter took place
in the lower end OF town in which
one OF the semi-civilized combat
ants received an ugly cash on the
head inflicted with Y horse shoe.
Before either had received serious
injuries, an officer arrived on the
scene of trouble and prevented
continuation Of the fight.
1t is the same old story that has
been told SO often through the
columns Of this paper, and Of
which there seems to be no real
solution. When filled with liquor,
the true instinct Of the red man
appears, and to cut or slash is his
harbored desire. Men who furnish
whiskey to Indians commit most
dangerous offence; not for the mere
fact Of giving the Indi an whiskey,
but because OF the damage that
may ensus. By 80 doing, he places
every home in Gardnerville in
danger or sndsngers the life Of
some innocent lerson.
