d. w. Hayes left Monday for a

trip is to look into the foundation
for dams and the cost of construe-

watersheds and capacity OF these
reservoirs was settled long ago by
the government and now which
Mr.. Hayes is doing is looking to
the ultimate completion of the

is not expected this will be carried
out for some time to come.

succeeded in fielding the runner
out at first it was not until after the
runner on third had scored. 1t was
strange that Gardnerville's two
errors should have been made by
her two most reliable players, but
such is the fortune of baseball.
1t is a very regrettable incident
OF the game that certain of Carson's
players and few of her spectators
should SO far forget themselves as
to resort to ungentlmenly y and
unsportsmanlike conduct toward
their visitors. There was one red
headed individual in particular
named Easton who made himself
especially obnoxious to all true
lovers OF clean sport. Superinteni-
ant of the State Police Cox was
finally obliged to put quietus on
this fellow. Certain OF the Carson
players were also guilty of such
conduct as attempting to trip the
Gardnerville runners as they
rounded second, of standing close
to our first baseman and tossing
handfnlls of sand upon him when
he was about to receive a thrown
ball intended to field out IL runner
at first and few other petty things
hardly worth mentioning. In con-
trast to all this the good clean
work of Art Meyers as umpire
stands out as an oasis in sea OF
sand.

We were informed this week by
T.. Porter, government engineer,
that Lake Tahoe was 1 feet lower
this wear than at the same time
last season. This has reduced the
outflow of the lake to 165 second
feet against $50 at corresponding
time last year. The shortage is
the result of the light snow fall in
the mountains last winter. With
ont question such shortage few
years later would mean serious
complications to the numerous

will be dependent thereon for
water for irrigation. These plain
facts will hurry the construction
