A committee of three was ap-
pointed to consult with the county
commissioners regarding the es-
tablishment of fire district in
accordance with the provisions as
prescribed by the Nevada law.
Since the town has been put to
considerable expense in the past
repairing damage done to the APP
paratus when taken beyond the
town limits. an article was in

laws that will not allow the ap-
paratus to be taken out of town un-

damage 1t will be made good.

WE LOSE A
GOOD CITIZEN

Alter IA continual rrsilenee in
Carson Valley since 1872, P. Heit-
man who, during those many years
has been one of the most SUCCESS
full and enterprising citizens in
Douglas county, left this week
with his family for Lovelock where
they will reside, Mr.. Heitman hav-
ing lately acquired the Pitt Flour
a Mill and ware house at that place.
The James ranch on which he has
lived since disposing of his mill
property here, has been placed in
the charge of his son, Fred, and f.
Cook, his son-in-law
To Mr.. Heitman belongs the
credit of being the first to realize
the need of OF modern -four mill
in this Valley, and together with
A. Jensen built the Douglas Co.
Flour Mill on his ranch in in 1906.
Until the completion of this mill,
very little wheat was raised in
this Valley, there being no market
of any importance for its con-
sumption. But the new mill
aided an impetus 10 wheat grow
ing. Prices were stimulated and
thu farmers began TO put larger
acre .ge to VIII at. Mr.. Heitman
became sole proprietor OF the busi-
ness and his mill furnished enor-
nous quantities OF flour to the
territory extend ng from Tonopah
to Bodie. The local market did
not furnish sufficient wheat to
supply the demand that was made
on the mill Tor its products conse-
quently it was found necessary to
import wheat from Utah to keep
the mill running to IT'S utmost
capacity. Compare the small
tonnage of wheat that vas raised
in Carson Valley before the advent
of this mill with the vast tonnage
of today, and to this far-slghled
man belongs all the credit that can
be bestowed upon him.
He has been as equally success
full in farming as In his milling
venture. The farm now owned 10y
+. Sarman was brought up to an
ideal standard of Carson Valley
property. In securing the james
ranches, which practically ran
themselves for a decade, he ac-
complished in three short years
what many said was impossible
He has made his money make
money becau use he has understood
how to improve and moderniz"
in way that brought large re-
turns. During his residence here
he has been one of Douglas coun-
ty's foremost citizens and 1t If
with regret that his change OF resi-
dence is made. However, what IL
Carson Valleys loss is Loveloek's
gain and they have taken useful
and progressive citizen into Their
foal.
In speaking of the change few
days ago, Mr.. Heitman said; Ut
is with a telling of regret that l
sever business and other relations
with the people of Carson Valley,
yet | see splendid opportunities
in the field which | have chosen.
My only wish is that succeed as
we'll there as | did here"
The Record Courier acting as
spokesmen for his many friends,
most earnestly hope that his every
wish for success in his new local
ity, will come true and that his
efforts will be crowned with even
more success than he has ever be-
fore attained.
