Sustains Injury.

Henry Gansberg, whose farm is
near Sheridan, met with an ac-
cident last Saturday that came
near costing him his life. He was
making his decent from a stack of
hay OH the derrick fork, and when
just clear of the stack. the derrick
rope parted and the young man
fell to the ground with great force
and was picked up in a semi
conscious condition. Medical aid
was hurried from Gardnerville and
while at first the injured man gave
symptoms of having received in.
ternal injuries, a careful examina-
ton by the physician did not dis
close the like. However, he wa,
badly bruised and shaken up by
the fall, being fortunate indeed in
escaping with his life.

Electric Plant.

Adolph Dressler has started work
on the installation Of an electric
plant at his ranch short distance
below Genoa. While the plant
will be used to furnish lights for
his residence and possibly for Genoa
il the proper encouragement is ex-
tended, the main purpose OF the
plant will be to furnish power for
a pumping plant that lifts water
from the Carson river for irriga-
ton purposes. For a number OF
years the pumping plant has been
in successful operation, the motive
power being furnished by a gaso-
line engine. The cost OF operating
such a plant was no small item
and the best of gas engines call for
lots of attention when put at heavy
and continuous work. For the
past two years Mr.. Dressler has
been figuring on way to mini
mize on the cost OF operation OF his
pumping plant and at the same
time increase ts efficiency. From
the mountains back of his ranch
a good stream of water runs tbs
year around. A pipe line is al
ready in position, being used some
years ago to furnish power to a
-four mill which has since been
dismanteled. With comparatively
small expense the pipe line can be
placed in commission and utilized
to furnish power to the electric
dynamo.
Aside from the first cost of in
stsllating the expense of such a
plant is very low. Already four
plants of this nature are in sue
cessful operation on that side OF
the Valley where the mountain
streams are harnessed and made to
furnish both power and lights to
the enterprising ranch owners.

Will Enlarge River Channel.

Wm. Stodieck, whose ranch is
divided by the East Fork of the
Carson river, is figuring on having
the river channel drsdged and
cleaned with a steam shovel and
an engineer has already submitted
figures giving the cubic feet OF
dirt that will need be moved.
At numerous placesIin the river
the main channel has become
filled with gravel, and while un-
der ordinary conditions will still
carry the flow, but in case of high
water the danger of the river cut
ting new channels and running
valuable land, would be great
To prevent such occurance ano
ELIMINATE the possibility of sucf
destruction to his farm, has caused
Mr.. Stodieck to figure on enlargint
the river channel at this particular
point.

WronsfulIy Censured.

From the misun derstanding OF
conditions as they really are,
different one in the Valley are
censuring the County Commission
ers for expending $3.50 in the pur-
chase of the strip of land for the
purpose of opening up a street In
Gardnerville, claiming that the
taxpayers money has been wrong
fully expended, inasmuch as but
very few are benefited by the
opening of this particular street.
The majority of the taxpayers of
this county thoroughly understand
the conditions under which this
piece of land was purchased, but
for those who are making capital
of this transaction either TO dam
age the commissioners or the town,
we will again explain that the
funds used for the purchase of this
strip of land belonged to Gardner
vile aud not the county. By an
enactment of the State legislature
all moneys collected from gambl-
ing games conducted in unin.
corporated towns is to be placed
in fund for the improvement OF
the town in which it is collected.
The Commissioners act as a govern
ing body OF the towns in their
county and as such the matter OF
making and ordering needed i'm
provement becomes part of their
official duty. The commissioners,
in this particular instance, were
to open this street and acted for
the best interests of the town.
The quarterly report of the
treasurer, appearing in this issue,
shows the condition of the Gard
nerville fund which was created
from licenses collected from games
OF chance operated in this town.
The fund has present total of
$1,0lS 45, and during the quarter
$764 05 was expended, part of
which was for the purchase of that
strip of land, the msintainence OF
street lights and other public inn
provements.

Sudden Death.

Robert Craig, 35 years old and a
resident of Clay Station, Calf.
dropped dead from heart trouble
last Thursday evening while eating
supper at the VIM. Hussman
ranch. He was carried from the
room and everything was done to
revive him but the last spark of
life had left the the limplsss form.
For years the man had been an
inveterate smoker and his sudden
death was undoubtedly due to
this cause. He sswed sacks on a
threshing maching until thirty
minutes before his death and did
complain of being i'll.
His parents at Clay Station were
notified of his death and upon their
instructions the remains were
shipped to that place Saturday.
Deceased was very we'll known
here having spent the past few
years OF his life in this Valley
Besides his aged parents, he leaves
two brothers and three sisters to
mourn his loss. One brother re-
sides in Honolulu while his other
relatives live in California. He
was member in good standing of
Golden Gate lodge F. and A. M. of
San Francisco. He idolized his
aged mother and his savings went
for her comfort. A few months
ago she was forced to take treat
ment at hospital and to raise the
money Robert sold his saddle and
other personal effects for almost
nothing. His life was lived for a
dear old mother and whatever may
be said against Bob Craig he
walked in a path that is followed
by comparatively few men.

Berning-Mathiesen.

Last Sunday afternoon a quiet
wedding took place in Gardner
vile at which time Miss Kate
Mathiesen became the bride of
Henry Bsrning. Justice of the
Peace l.. 8. Ezell tied the knot and
judging from the many ceremonies
OF this nature he has performed
in his official capacity, the knot is
of the substantial kind and hold
as the good book teaches that they
should.
The bride is the eldest daughter
daughter OF Mrs. Ed. Brenton and
was born and reared in Gardner
vile and is consequently well
known in this section.
The blushing groom is also a
resident of Gardnerville, and is
a member of the local police de-
partment.
Congratulations are extended.
