Headgate Closed
At the Lake

The headgates at Lake Tahoe have
been closed and not water is passing
from the great mountain reservoir
into the Truckee at present. The
entire flow in the river is from trib-
utary streams which ordinarily sup
ply only about two-sevenths OF the
volume OF water that passes Reno.
AS a consequence the level OF the
lake will now begin rising. The
government dam will permit of the
storage of four feet OF water, more
than which would damage shore
property.
The gates were closed earlier than
usual because OF fear that there may
be dehcie ency in snowfall this sea

THE CORN CONVENTION.

The CORN CONVENTION.
By I. Gotta Corn.
The issue is clearly defined.
There is no getting around the
fact that the national convention
of chiropodists at Chicago July l,
2and 3 will make other recent ma
tional conventions appear like Sc
.cret sessions of deaf and dumb.
The chiropodists, or, as they
are more popularity called, foot
doctors, or corn surgeons, are
rent in twain. The salvers want
a plank in the platform stating in
unmistakable language that salve
is the best remedy for ailing foun-
dations. They point with pride to
the many substantial fortunes
created by billions of boxes of
salve sold.
Also the old foot docs who
travel the country highways sell
ing SalVe are unanimous against
the city docs who can skin a corn
and patient more easily with
knife.
A deal of rancor has been
stirred up by the committee in
giving the docs from the South,
where shoes are not 50 generally
worn and corns are scarcer, an
equal vote with docs in big cities
where shoes are tighter and corns
are something fierce,
There will be no fight over the
temporary Craftsmanship. Few of
the docs want to get up on the
platform; it makes ones feet too
conspicuous.
