The Wafer Situation
" And The Water Company
Being Made to Keep
Things Green and Domestic
Service Rendered

The Carson Water Company il,
kept busy in its endeavor to keep
the reservoirs full and to supply
the necessary household demands.
and Suerintendent Cushing is up
at all hours of the day and night
looking after the system. Since
the Dist of last month the Com
pany has been purchasing water
from two of the farmers west of
the city and with this added sup
ply it is believed that there will
be sufficient water for the next six
weeks to amply provide necessary
demands. at which time the lrri-
eating season will be over and no
great damage will have resulted
to lawns. gardens. etc.
At the present time the water
company is up against a hard
problem. In the first place the
water rights that they own will
not supply the amount Of water
necessary to supply this town
when so much is used for irriga
ton. etc. In the next chapter it
is found that two dry seasons
have been visiting this section
There is practically no snow in
the mountains. the springs have
gone dry and the natural flow OF,
the two creeks where the water
comes from is not more than one
quarter of its usual flow. At the
same time more trees and lawns
are being planted. Additional
sewerage connections have been
added and there is use for more
water to-day than in the history
of this section. Miles Of lawns
and some fifty miles Of trees are
being watered daily in this val
ley.
Some time ago parties com
planned of not being able to get
water at their homes. a meter
was placed on the feed pipe. At
the end of the month it was found
that this family had used $4,000
gallons of water. and the hot sea
son was not then on.
Another case is recorder where
the meter showed that the family
was using over a period of some
months, from 10000 to over l3O.-
600 gallons per month Another
resident asked that meter be
put in at his place simply for his
own satisfaction, stating that he
did not believe that he used over
10000 gallons month The me-

Most encouraging reports come

LIFE
BY OWN
CARELESSNESS
Pete Busch was Warn
ed of the Danger

The death of Peter Busch,
the well-knOwn Nevada mining
man, in Death Valley, came about
through sheer foolishness. Busch
was determined to cross the val
ley in the daytime and in spite Of
the warning of dozens of friends.
including Death Valley Scotty, he
made the attempt. He did not
leave Skidoo until 9 o'clock in the
morning, with the thermometer
standing at about l3O in the
shade. That the heat made Busch
crazy is borne out by the state
ment of his companion. a young
man named Shaw who was hired
as an auto driver.
Shaw was found safe at place
known as Hole in the Rock and
had plenty of water in his can
teen. The canteen carried by
Busch was also half full Of water,
showing that it was heat alone
that caused his death.

criminolOgists termed one of Am

gave up his life His crime was
an attack on fellow prisoner,

first case in this country of fei-
on being executed for simple as
sault.
Oppenheimer's attorneys had
fought desperately for six years
to save him. Three times the case
was taken to the United States
Supreme Court.
Oppenheimer met death unfaI-
teringly. His last request was
that the women of California keep
up their fight for the abolition Of
capital punishment
Few cases in criminal history
are recorded where so vast an
amount of influence and untiring
effort were used to save a man
whe had been sentenced to death,
and without avail. He was term
