Reservoirs are Full of Water
and Much Snow Yet UnmeIted

Henry Godecke and VIM. Tholke,
who made trip of inspection to the
farmers storage reservoirs last
week report that they found things
in splendid condition. The dams are
in need of no immediate repairs and
are holding back their fullest capac-
ity of flood water that will be turn
ed into the river later in the season.
The last eight miles of their journey
was made on foot and through a
drizzling rain. The snow was too
deep for their horses to travel
through. There is more snow in
that part of the mountains than
there was last year at this time
and there will be sufficient water
for all crops in Carson Valley.

Many Laws
Brought Out

There are many new features in
the new code or laws that come to
light from time to time, and will no
doubt will work out for the general
good Of the state. There is a sec
ton in the criminal code that pro-
yides in certain cases the Court in
pronouncing sentence upon per-
son found guilty, must name a
minimum sentence as well as
maximum. Until the minimum
sentence has been served it will be
impossible for said prisoner to re-
ceive airy consideration at the hands
of the pardon board. He must
serve a certain length of time any
way, unless pardoned out. but is
beyond the reach of the parole
system. A man designated as a
habitual criminal under the new
code may be given life sentence.

WORK STARTS
ON MILL
Stock Property Purchased and
Excavation Work Now Under
Way.

During the first of the week the
Douglas Milling and Power COM
pany closed a deal with Vim. Stock
for his Gardnerville property and
the papers were executed and prop
erty turned over to the new owners.
Tuesday morning crew of men
and teams were put to work exca-
waiting for the foundation of the
mill building. This work is to be
rushed as fast as conditions will al
low and it is planned to commence
laying brick the first week in July.
No less than one hundred thousand
brick will be required to complete
the building and it will be one of
the most substantial structures yet
erected in Carson Valley.
While dirt is flying at the mill
site the finishing work on the power
plant at the Sarman ranch is under
way. That is, in relative to the in
stallation of the big water wheel.
The cement work has been com
pleted and will be ready to belt up
to the big dynamo that is to furnish
power for the mill as well as to
Gardnerville concerns who may de-
sire to patronize a home power and
light company in preference to an
outside company. Last week a
representative of a electrical com
pany spent several days in the Val
ley going over the ground and took
the order for all the machinery
necessary for the new plant.
The Stock property offers an ideal
location for the mill and was select
ed only after all available sites were
thoroughly considered. The prop
erty consists of over three acres of
ground and offers worlds of room
for all purposes.
The members of the milling and
power company are receiving splend-
id encouragement in their under
taking and have promises of patrons
for all the power that they can
generate. This is the kind of sup
port that encourages new enter
prises and creates manufacturing
towns. You cannot back up this
enterprise too strong. Your CO..
operation in this project may en-
courage other enterprises to be
established in Gardnerville.

Prefers Shooting
to Hanging

At Tonopah Saturday morning
Judge Averill pronounced sentence
of death upon Andrija Mirkovieh for
the murder Of John Gregovech.
The death penalty is to be inflicted
on Friday the 23rd of August.
Prior to passing sentence, Judge
Ayerill asked the prisoner through
the interpreter, which manner of
death he desired---either hanging or
shooting, as the law gives the con-
demned man the choice.
The condemned man sat with arms
folded while he was being question
ed and without hesitation chose
shooting as the manner Of his being
sent into eternity.
He showed considerable nervous
ness, however, when the sentence
was being pronounced. He was
ordered to stand up while the words
were being pronounced which gave
the order for taking his life. He
obeyed the order bat kept his eyes
rivited upon the floor during the en-
tire time.
The dastardly murder committed
by Mirkovich took place on the
evening of the l4th Of May and he
was found guilty of the crime on
the 18th of June, a day less than a
month.
This is the first sentence to death
under the new law and the man
ayailed himself of the new section

there owned two or four horses and
SIX or eight cows and considered
that enough for any man. At their

ley farms and they listened very
attentiyely but when he told that on
some of the bigger ranches so and
go cows were MIXED daily, and II
to so horses were used, he caught
some of the old gents stealing sharp
glances at one another, and it hurt
his pride to think that they doubted
his word. All members of the party

MRS. NELSON
PASSES AWAY
Her UntimeIy Death Causes Deep
Sorrow Throughout This
Community.

Despite all that medical science
could do, the frail cord that has held
the life of Mrs. VIM. Nelson on a
balance for the past l5 days, gave
way and her young life ended just
when She had everything to live for.
Her death occurred in San Fran
cisco Tuesday afternoon, having
been taken to that city from Minden
on June 9th. Her life was sacrificed
that another might live. Blood
poisoning developed and she lived
nineteen days after the birth of her
child.
Death under all circumstances is
sad, and in this instance words can
not express the feeling that the
death of Mrs. Nelson has caused.
Her young life had been so sublime,
so gentle and self-sacrifcing that
she was idolized by her relatives
and held in the highest esteem by
a wide circle of friends throughout
this Valley. By the death of her
father and mother, which occurred
when she was quite young, she as
sumed the management of the house
hold. She acted the part of a
mother to her brothers and sister,
it was she who gave them a guiding
hand and gave them the consolation
and encouragement that can come
alone from the lips of a mother.
Now that she has been called away,
those worshiped her bowed in sor-
row and sadness.
On Thanksgiving eve of 1910
she was married to VIM. Nelson of
Mlnden and their lives have been all
that happiness and joy that can
possibly come from such a union.
Their future was full of promise
and with the expected arrival of a
babe at their home. they were living
in the highest hopes of their on
ward journey through life. How
uncertain is the morrow How quick
ly are bright hopes blasted and
the brightness of day turned to
darkness and gloom of night.
Mrs. Nelson was born in Carson
Valley July 18th. 1856 and had al
ways resided here. She was faith
ful member of the Lutheran Church.
She was an active member of the
choir and possessed a sweet alto
voice.
Besides bereaved and heartbrok-
en- husband and a little babe, to
mourn her loss she leaves two sisters

News NOTES
FROM BIJOU

The hot weather now being exper-
fenced in the low Valleys of Cali
fornia has started the annual influx
of campers to Lake Tahoe. The
beautiful camping grounds at Bijou
is a mecca for these people and the
city of tents is beginning to grow.
Charles and Wilt Young are erect
ing a classy little club building at
Bijou and hope to have it completed
within two weeks. The interior is
being finished in the rustic effect
while the broad verandas, with odd
lounging chairs made from small
trees, will be inviting to all who
visit this section. The Young boys
built seventy of these chairs during
last winter.
Lloyd Jones and sisters, who are
conducting the Edgwood resort, are
winning many friends among the
travellers by their courteous treat
ment and people from Carson Val
ley and elsewhere will find this a
most excellent place to stop.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. J. Phillips and
B. Selkirk and wife spent Sunday at
the Lake, having motored from
Gardnerville by way of Glenbrook.
VIM. Bruski, VIM. Cunning aam
and Fred Hellwinkel of Gardner
vile, spent Saturday and Sunday at
the Lake.
The male population of Lake Val
ley have been spending their spare
time hunting for two bear that are
camping in the wooded section here
abouts. The track of the biggest
one measures II inches in length by
6 inches in width. Some of the
tourists have been hunting for the
pair with 22-rifles but SO far no foot
races have been reported.
Mine Host Connolly of the Bijou
Inn is arranging for big dance to
be held here on the evening of July
Fourth. Fo ryears this has been an
annual event at Bijou and attracts
big crowds. A special invitation is
extended to Carson Valley people to
attend.
Last Sunday while Will Rabe was
at Edgwood, someone stole a big
supply of provisions from his ranch.
Upon discovering the theft he learn
ed that campers had stopped there
during his absence. He jumped on
a saddle horse and overlook the pair
near Meyers Station. At first they
denied the theft but some of their
plunder was exposed to view and
Mr.. Rabe finally made them confess.
They begged for mercy and was al
lowed to go their way after giving
up the goods.
A pansy bed in full bloom at the
Young residence, is attracting the
admiration of all visitors to Bijou.
Chas. Young has been joshed a
good deal this week, the outcome of
an attempt to take four Gardner
vile friends for motor boat ride
Sunday. They had just left the
pier when the motor gave a few
puts and quit. The humble bees
in the coil got wet and failed to buz,
thus prevented the electrical current
from doing its work. Two Indians
in red boat towed them in and
gained the title of twin Indian
but failed to show the speed of their
namesake. In two years operation
of motor boats this is the first time
that Charley has got stalled, which
