PARTY
GRAND SUCCESS

Last Friday evening Miss Mabel
Ritchford and Mrs. J. +. Phillips
entertained aoout 65 of their
friends at a FOOLS party at VAL
halla hall The invitation warned
the recipient to dress and act like
fool or beware. No masquerade
ever displayed more unique
array of costumes. As to the fool
part OF the program, everyone left
their dignity at home. and did
their best to impsrsonate the
character they endeavored to
represent. From young man
appearing as French dancer
dressed in nancy-few-c clothes, to
young ladies eostumed in the
most freakish costumes that could
be imagined, the merrymakers
presented remedy for the blues.
All manners of games were played
and the hours sped rapidly by.
At midnight a picnic lunch was
served which was delicious.
Dancing was also one of the
pleasures of the evening. The
party came to close at three
o'clock and was one of the most
successfully managed social func-
tions held hare for many moons.

Governors Office is Not
Too Big For This
Candidate.

Frank Il. Nicholas. who until
recently held the position of State
Engineer, il in Garduerville this
week in the interests of his eandi-
dacy for Democratic nomination
for governor, or his selection as the
party's choice for the ailice OF
chief executive OF this state.
This is not Mr. Nicholas first
visit to Gardne rville, but it is the
first opportunity he has had To be-
come generally acquainted with
the people here and Incidentally to
interview the members OF his party
III regard to the political situation
and his own candidacy. Mr..
Nicholas is very pleasant gentle
man to meet and certainly, even
on first acquaintance, creates the
impression ,hat the position Of
governor would be non too large
for him. lie IS meeting with "A
great deal Of encouragement for his
candidacy.
Mr.. Nicholas has only been
an ayowed candidate for governor
since his recent removal from the
office of State Engineer by Cover
nor Dickerson. lie had been men
toned in connection with the gov
ernorship, as the possible Demo
cratic candidate, and Governor
Dickerson also wants 10 succeed
himself. The possibility OF Mr..
Nicholas becoming strong rival
for the office is believed by many
To have been the reason for Mr..
Nicholas being summarily removed
as State Engineer. The reason
given for his action by Governor
Dickerson was that charges had
been preferred against Engineer
Nicholas. but ii is claimed that the
latter was not furnished with a
copy of the charges and therefore
had no opportunity to reply To
them, making the governors action
to say the least, very unusual
proceeding and open to criticism
by all believers in fair play.
Mr.. Nicholas has been a resi-
dent of the state since 1900. In
politics, he has been Democrat
all his life. His first vote was
cast for Cleveland in 1891. In
1907 he was appointed State Engi'
neer by Governor Sparks and held
that office until removed by Gov
ernor Dickerson a few weeks ago.

the board rescind their action at
March meeting establishing
branch county Jail at Gardner
Vile, was on motion laid on the

Springmeyer, were accepted and
the clerk instructed to advertise
for bids in accordance with the

ing that the cost of the Jail was
not to exceed 81 900 and that the
people of Gardnerville intended to
dig down in their own Jeans to
build justice court room and give
it to 1.-THE county, they expressed
themselves as regretful for signing
the counter petition. Several ex-
pressed themselves to the Com
missioners.
J. c. Larson, c. w. Brown, II.
Z. Dangberg and others were in
attendance at the meeting and adj
dressed the Board in behalf Of the
taxpayers who have worked for
several years in an endeavor to
secure an adequate Jail for Gard
nerviile.
The counter petition was laid on
the table and thesaction taken on
the establishment of a branch
county Jail at Gardnerville, at
their previous meeting, was order
ed to stand and bids advertised for
its construction.
The building will be % 80
and will be built Of concrete. The
court room will constitute the
second story and as stated above
the money for that part of the
structure will be donated by in
dividuals.
The entire expense to the county
will not exceed $1,000 and why
such a alrumpus has been wrought up
is beyond anyone with average
intelligence. Bridges costing &c.
600 have been built without q pro-
test; 81 900 worth of culvert pipe
was purchased. 1t was a good
thing. After thirty-tive years with
out fire-proof yaut for the safe
keeping of public records, one is to
be built at the court house in
Genoa at an expense of $1,000.
Its good thing. Now Jail is
to be built in Gardnerville. Its a
good thing and the Record Courier
heartily commends the Commiss-
toner's for their progressive but not
extravagant spirit.

LAND Being
TAKEN UP

Since the government threw
open TO settlement several hundred
acres OF land in Smith Valley and
along the Walker river, many
homesteads have been filed.
When the government started
work in the west on the different
irrigation projects, this land was
taken from settlement, pending
the engineers report on the section
as a desirable location for an ir-
rigation scheme. The idea was
abandoned last year and a few
months ago the Secretary OF
Interior issued an order which
threw the land open to settlement
under the homestead act.
