JACkS VALLEY
IS PROSPEROUS

chas. Fulstone, one of the sub
stantial agriculturists OF Jacks
Valley, one of the rich sections OF
this county, was in Gardnerville
Monday on business. He is yery
mu,h interested in the problem OF
irrigation and what can be &C.
complished by the scientific ap-
plication of water to the soil. The
season just passed he kept a close
record OF the water used to irri.
eating the entire area in Jacks
Valley and found it to be less than
80 miners inches. On the Fulstone
ranch no water was to be had for
irrigation after the month OF June.
yet they harvested bountiful crops
and nothing really suffered for the
want iof water. From the fact
that the Carson river furnishes an
almost unlimited supply Of water
up 10 the middle or last of June,
Mr.. Fulstone sees a great possibili-
ty In one-erop ranches carved from
the sagebrush fats on the eastern
side of this Valley. And why
not2 Ii the farmers of his dis
trlct lie, prosper and accumulate
fat bank accounts off of lanl that
produces but one crop Neay and
where the water supply exhaus' 8
itself before the first day of July,
why then can't it be done here2
He also states thai it simply
marvellous the way p. Heitman
has transformed the old James
ranches in the lower end of the
Valley. From the splendid cleo
trio pumping plant VIII oh will
eventually reclaim may acres of
arid land, the manner Of crop
production innaugurated by the
owner, the big new barns and
other improvements that he has
well in hand, gives every evidence
of the progressive and business
like character of Mr.. Heiiman.

DO YOU NEED
A GOOD MAN?

II there is farmer in Carson
Valley who requires the services of
an industrious and willing young
man, they should answer the fol-
lowing;
Wanted-By steady and industr-
ious young man, a position on Ia Car
son Valley ranch. State wages and
what other information you may de-
sire. Virgil w. Hobson, Packard,
Iowa.
In writing to the Record Co urier
the young man states that he read
a descriptive write-up of Carson
Valley in magazie and had ferm-
ed a strong desire to come west.
He wants a steady place to work
and would no doubt prove to be a
good hand on one of the many
ranches that require the services of

FALL0N'S BIG BEET
SUGAR FACTORY

The Churchill County Standard
has the following regarding the
beet sut ar factory now being
erected at Fallon:
Concrete foundations and piers
have been constructed in a work
manlike manner and in two brick
yards near the factory are more
than one-half million fine light
colored brick, a number more than
sufficient to CO m plste the
buildings that will comprise the
sugar factory.
OF the various buildings, the
lime kiln, the machine shop and
boiler house are practically COM
pleted. The lime kiln is 81 feet
by 49 fset in dimensions; the ma
chine shop AZ by 49 feet and boiler
house ia feet by 49 feet. 1t is
noteworthy that these buildings
are all of sufficient size to saccom-
modate the necessary working
machinery for factory Of 750-ton
daily capacity, although present
plans call for the installation of
500-ton equipment by the Nevada
Sugar company.
The structural steel tower of the
lime kiln can now be seen from
most points in the Valley, as it
rears itself something like 70 feet
in the air. The lime kiln itself
will be 80 feet above the ground.
The main structure, which in
cludes the warehouse and manu-
featuring rooms, will be 407.7 feet
by 20 in size. OF the length 175
feet will be three stories in height,
while Ill feet will be made five
stories in height. The foundations
for this structure are all installed
and much of the brick work has

NEVADA IN THE
FRONT RANK

The high official of this nation
may not consider Nevada of due
importance in the sistsrhood OF
state to place her name on the
bow OF one of the mighty dread
naughts now being built, and her
sisters can call her the "rotten

gold did save the nation from

moment in the entire history OF
the country, but they can't make

Storm Stops Work.

The survey party under the
charge of A. Strout, that has been
in Alpine county for the past two
months, running the property
boundary lines of the California
Nevada Power company, were
forced to give up their work this
week on account of the Istorms.
The party consisted of nine men
and were ordered to Washoe Val
ley where they will be employed
during the greater part of the
winter.
Their work in Alpine county is
far from being completed and will
be taken up again next spring.
The Record-courier. [volume] (Gardnerville, Nev.) 1904-current, 1910-12-09

been completed. Already ten car
loads of cement have been used in
the work of building the factory,
while twenty cars more will be re-
quired to complete the reinforced
concrete floors that will support
the heavy machinery, some pieces
of which weigh twenty tons.
And while the cement and brick
men have been working, the
carpenters have not been idle.
The wood workers have kept pace
with their fellows and their work
is noted in the main building been
installed and about all that re-
mains for them to do is to put in
place the 100000 feet Of wooden
roofing three inches thick by
twelve inches in width, that will
be required to cover the buildings.
This lumber is now on the ground.
With the completion of the factory
which according to present plans
will be sometime along next spring,
the installation of the machinery
will occupy the attention OF the
factory mechanics. Much of this
machinery is already purchased /;
in fact, the greater part is already
part of the Nevada Sugar COM
pany's ehattles, though there still
remains to be purchased several
expensive parts, which must come
from abroad.
Some idea of the magnitude of
the undertaking may be had when
it is known that twenty cars of
structural steel will be required in
factory building, and machinery to
amount to 100 carloads will COM
pose the manufacturing end of the
sugar enterprise.

PASSING OF A
GOOD CITIZEN

The remains of Herman Lampe,
who died at Klamath Falls, Ore.
on December LIST, arrived in Gard
nerville Tuesday, arrangements
having been made for the disposion
of the body by his relatives.
Up until several years ago the
deceased was in business in Gard
nerville almost from the beginning
of the town and it was he who
erected the building now occupied
by the Todd drug store. Inside
work did not agree with his deli
cate health, and he sold his busi-
ness, in order that he might spend
the most of his time out of doors.
Last summer he went to klamath
on visit to friends. Returning
here little later he remained un-
til the first week of November,
when he again started north, much
against the advice of his relatives.
He was taken i'll only few days
before his death and his demise
was an unexpected shock to friends
and relatives alike.
Herman Lame was born in Ned.
denavenbergen, Germany. July 26,
1864. He came to this Valley in
1870 and had resided here since
that time. He was known to every
person in this community as a
man of excellent character. He
was mem Der of the Gardnerville
Odd Fellow lodge and was in good
standing.
He is survived by two sisters
Mrs. G. NJ. Henningsen, of this
Valley, Mrs. Fogart of Carson,
John Lampe Of Kansas, and VIM.
Lampe of this Valley.
The funeral services were con-

One of the traditional super
stitions OF 1.-THE Washor tribe of
indians is that when a member OF
the family is waited to the happy
hunting ground, the wickiup or
cabin in which the waiting took
place is no longer habitable. In
former times when only tuly or
pole dwellings were used, 1t was
customary to remove their rabbit
skin coverings and their limited
domicilory comforts and burn up
what was left. 1t is quite differ
ent matter now since most OF them
live in one room cabins, and cannot
afford new one. To circumvent
the traditive obsession, last week q

POPULATION
OF NEVADA
CENSUS SHOWS IT
TO BE Sl,S73

Nevada's population has reached
its high-water mark. According
to census returns received from
Washington, there are 81,875 peo-
pie within its borders. This is an
increase of 39.540, 93.4 per cent
over the population of 42,335
shown in 1900, which was de-
crsase of 1925, or rs from that of
1890.
The population Of Nevada at the
end of several decades was as fol-
lows: 1850, $685.; 1860, 42,491;
1880, 62,266; 1890, 45,76I; 1900,
42,335; 1910, S1,SS5.
II the census had been taken
during the swirl of excitement in
the boom days of the southern
camps it is probable, from most
careful computations and estimates
that the total would have reached
$4,000. The drop in population by
the disappearance of the fioaters
was not less than 20 per cent, leav-
ing to the state at present a fixed
population, growing steadily as the
resources are developed.
Following is the population Of
Nevada cnunties.

BREACHES AND SELLS EGGS
Country Minister iTna Solved the Low

Runs Market Garden.

Rutland. June i2.-ProDably not many
OF the general public outside of the par
ish in question know that the Rev. Wal
ter r. Curtis Of Clarendon Is rivaling A
certain western clergyman so far as per-
forming two regular lines OF duties Is
concerned.
Mr.. Curtis Is pastor of tho Clarendon
congregational Church and breaches
there regularly Sunday mornings, after
which he conducts n session o. Sunday
school. In the afternoon he leads Il scrv-
ice at the chapel I'm East Clarendon and
on many occasions he conducts services
ut other nearby churches. He is vice
president of the Rutland county Sunday
School association and is much u'tereSted
in It's work. having established several
new Sunday schools within the past year.
During the weel, Mr. Curtis carries on
the work incidental to an egg and poultry
business. covering two routes each week,
or every ton days al most. to
do which he travels about forty
miles. gathering up fresh eggs
and poultry from the producers. These
routes include the territory adjacent to
South Wallingford. Wallingford, Chippen-
hook and Tinmouth. besides the immed-
etc vicinity Of Clarendon.
Mr.. Curtis disposes of his eggs and poul
try at top notch prices to dealers in Bos-
ton. New York and Rutland besides ac-
commodatnE number Of private custo-
mers in this locality. He handles between
400 and ~. dozen of eggs each week and
from 30 to 20 fowls. He also has hennery

Besides this work he makes a hobby of Il
vegetable garden. in the last two years

worth OF produce besides furnishing a lin-
eral supply for his own table.
Mr.. Curtis took up his present egg and
poultry business in addition to his minis
