LIKE SANDERS ROAD POLICY.
Legislators in the City Talk Roads
With the Governor.

With the Governor.
Baton ROuge.-GOvernO Sanders
held a conference with a number Of
the representatives of the north LOU
lana parishes, and discussed with
them some Of the features of the ad-
ministration legislative program.
The good roads legislation is what
Governor Sanders is especially inter.
ested in, and there was practically
an understanding between the gov
ernor and the members that the pro-
posed legislation was satisfactory to
them and will meet with their ap-
prevail when it is presented for con.
sideratiOn.
There are nine measures proposed,
four of them being constitutional
amendments and five being statutes.
The chief amendment provides for
the quarter-mill state tax levy. The
chief statute provides that the State
Board of Engineers shall be cOnsti-
tuted a state highway commission,
with authority to employ necessary
expert assistance to handle the funds
through the state treasury and to
supervise all highway construction.
The remaining amendments and
statutes provide penalties for break
ing the highway laws, arrange de-
tails, empower parishes to vote spe-
cial good-roads taxes-in other words
equip Louisiana with complete sys-

OIL COMPANY INVESTS HEAVILY
Indian Oil Refinery to Enlarge on a
Bio Scale.

Indian Oil Refinery to Enlarge on a
Big Scale.
New Orleans.-Il is evident from
the preparations which are being
made by the Indian Oil Refining Co.,
which recently purchased the plant
of the ST. Bernard Oil Refining CO. at
MerauXyille, that the new owners OF
the enterprise are going to invest
more extensively in improvements
than was at first believed. The
plant will be enlarged a great deal.
according to the plans which are
gradually coming to light, and when
the work which is contemplated Is
completed ST. Bernard will have an
Old refinery which will compare ia
yOrably with any in the South, with
possibly the exception of the one
now being constructed in Baton
Rouge by the Standard Oil Company,
which st. Bernard should have got
ten, as it was within her grasp and
was lost through the ShortSghted-
ness of two or three property hold
ers. The Indian Oil Refining Com
pany will establish water facilities
for the handling Of its refined and
raw products that will not be eX-
celled anywhere, and the construction
Of docks, sheds and storage tanks
will constitute in the main the add
ditiOns which will be mace to the
present plant. The company will re-
fine oil on an extensive scale, and
proposes to lose no time in the COM
pletiOn of the improvements which
it has decided upon. The mechanics
and others employed on the work,
who live in the city, are transported
to the plant, which is five miles be-
low the city limits, in tourist auto
mobile, which has been engaged for
that purpose while the work is going
on down there

built in Nevada and still standing
at Genoa, will be torn down and
chopped up for fire wood. This

that the first pnolic meeting held

WAS in 1881. The oI jsct OF that
meeting WAS to organize squaller

rules for governing the settlers aud
their property. This meeting

SCHUTZENFEST
DAY SUNDAY

Sunday will be Schutzenfest
Day al Waterloo and great prep
arations have been made for the
event. Schutzenfest Day, although
borrowed from a foreign land, has
become one OF the events that Car
son Valley people look forward to,
since it is set aside as day of
pleasure and of gayety. 1t is day
that work and business cares are
forgotten.
The big Waterloo hall is being
decorated especially for the oc-
casion and the floor is being put in
excellent shape. The portable
sides will be removed from the
building so that the dancers will
not be inconvenienced by the heat.
The grove has grown rapidly in
the last few years and the trees
now furnish worlds of shade. 1t
is an ideal place to spend the
afternoon, listen to the band play
and chat with your friend. Ice
cream and light refreshments will
be served.
The Schutzenfest dance is an
affair that you cannot afford to
miss.

If concerted action ever was the
backbone of the success OF cele-
bration, then Carson Valley Day
ought to be a bowling success. 1t
will be because the positive assiir-
ancss already at hand proves
the assertion. The committees
are working tooth and toe nail and
have outlined a very elaborate pro-
pram for that day and something
will be doing every minute.
Dick Raycraft, past artist in
the barbecue business, has been
engaged to roast the the three fine
st GERS that have already been
placed on special diet. Dick would
not be a Raycraft if he did not
know how TO cook and with him
to manage the big feed for the
multitude OF people, gives every
assuranc. that thso will be we'll
feasted. He will be assisted by a
little army OF helpers.
Advertising matter has been
sent out in all din ections and more
is being sent daily. Business firms
and individuals srs using Carson
Valley Day" envelopes printed in
two colors, and thousands of them
are being sent through the mails.
Everybody has become boosters
for the big day. The Carson, Reno
and Virginia City papers are car
rying advertising matter telling OF
the celebrs tion and the citizens of
those cities will be well informed
about the big time that awaits
them on the 1lth of June.
What will be one of the most
interesting sights, especially to the
visitors, will be big feed INDUCED
in by the Washoe Indians. The
tribe will be furnished with an OK,
1000 pounds of potatoes and Hour
and will prepare the food as they
did 40 or 80 years ago. Captain
Pete Mayo, Dick Bender ande Capt.
Jim will give the younger Indians
instruction and will also have
charge Of the roasting.
VIM. Dangberg tells OF a similar
oceurance that took place many
years ago. His brother had many
Indians clearing land. To hurry
the work, they were promised an

UNDER ONE
PRINCIPAL.

By mutual agreement entered
into by the trustees of the Gard
nerville district school and the
county commissioners who have
the present control of the county
high school, all of the grades in
the Gardnerville school building
will be under the control of the
principal of the high school who
will be vested with complete
authority over the entire institu-
ton.
This change has been made for
the betterment of the educational
advantages of the school since it is
believed that better conditions are
sure to come from change. 1t will
eliminate any possible friction and
in general will help to keep the
grades in uniform conjunction
with one another.
The County High school has
been accredited by the University
of Nevada by raising the standard
of the school. 1t is hoped that
more pupils will take advantage
of the high school work that is now
being offered at h ,me.
