She had the Understanding face,
Her eyes were blazing brown;
In homes she felt quite out of place,
You'd never find her round
About a persons parlor,
Or even IN the hall;
She wasn't girl, she was a COW,
She felt best in stall.

Storage Water
Holding Out

The two storage reservoirs of the
Alpine Land and Reservoir COM
pany that were opened on July l4th,
exhausted their supply Monday and
during that time supplied on an
average of 26 second feet. The
water was used to a splendid adj
vantage on the East Fork farms.
Five well fillod reservoirs are being
held for future use and while it was
intenped to open the gates this
week, the heavy rainfall has altered
those plans. The heavy rain satur-
ated the fields with moisture and
also added to the river flow The
reservoirs will probably be opened
early next week.

meeting on the road.
An auto overtaking vehicle of
any kind, should pass to the left,
after giving the driver warning.
When passing team on grade
the auto is duty bound to take the

it is travelling.
Don't run faster than IL miles an
hour when posing through towns
of Douglas county. An officer may
happen to wake up and arrest you.
Use a little common sense in driv-
ing around the corner at Main and
School street, Gardnerville, and the
lumber yard corner. Automobile
accidents can occur, especially to a
careless driver.

INDIAN COMMITS
BRUTAL MURDER
Jim Jack Stabbed to Death bv Benny
Pitts in Drunken Braw|-. Claims
Self Defense.

Following a drunken debouchery
which started early Saturday even
ing, Jim Jack a more or less motor
ious Indian, had his throat cut from
ear to ear by Benny Pitts early
Sunday morning. The murder was
committed on the county road near
the Frey slaughter house. After
killing Jim Jack his body was drag
ged in cement culvert near the
scene of the murder. Later it was
moved f'om its hiding place and
partly buried by the side of the
road.
One of the Indians who spent the
night with Jim Jacks party and
knew of the crime, came to Gardner
vile shortly after it occurred and
told friend af what had happened.
He became alarmed and told the
officers. The body was removed to
the morgue and later Indian Pitts
was taken into custody.
Pitts freely admitted to district
attorney that he took Jim Jack S
life but claims self defense. He de-
clares that Jack attacked him
with knife. After a scuffle ne

the knife. He hacked at his op-
ponent's throat until the head was
nearly severed from the body When
he started his fiendish job he was
evidently determined to finish Jim
Jack for all time. The knife used
was dull one and Pitts literally
hacked his enemy to death.
The real motove for the crime

dates back several years, it is claim
ed. At that time Pitts mother w a.
shot to death in her camp in Huss
mans pasture. While the murderer
was never captured, the Indians de
clare that Jim Jack was the
one who fired the fatal shot and die
so because of the belief that the
squaw held an evil influence over
his sick wife. The taking of Jacks
life by Pitts is believed to be the
outcome of the former murder.
Pitts was given a preliminary
hearing in the Justice Court Mon
day and is now in the county jail
awaiting trial.
Saturday evening Jim Jack was
in Gardnerville with several other
Indians all of whom were drunk.
They started rough house on the
street ovey dog fight and Jim Jack

these three Indians been locked up
for being drunk Jim Jack would
have been alive today and the coun-
tv would NOT be facing the ex-

comes from the pockets of the tax
payers.
Public opinion is strong against
against present conditions and while
this paper has been asked to publish
sharp criticims against the present
order of things, we refuse to go
stronger than stating facts. There
are better and more effective ways
to secure relief.

EXCURSION
A SUCCESS
SEVENTY PEOPLE
MAKE UP PARTY
Enjoyable Trip Around Lake
Tahoe Under Ideal
Conditions

The excursion around Lake Tahoe
Sunday under the auspicies Of the
Carson Valley Band, was one of the
most pleasant events held in some
time. Sixty Carson Valley people
took the trip and enjoyed every
minute of the day.
A large barge, especially built
for excursion parties was used. The
barge was towed by the steamer
Meteor. Leaving Bijou at $3.50
The boat skirted the east shore of
the Lake and made the first stop at
Glenbrook. From there a direct
course was taken to Tahoe City
where stop of 45 minutes was
made for lunch. Many of the party
carried well filled baskets of lunch
and the barge was turned into a
regular picnic ground. Other dined
at Tahoe Inn. The next stop was
at Tahoe Tavern and the excursion
lists were given ample time to in
spect the most beautiful resort on
the shores of Lake Tahoe. Eolow-
ing close to the shore line the boat
rounded Rubicon Point, and into
Emerald bay. one of natures beauty
spots. Tallac was passed and the
party arrived at Bijou at $50. Many
stopped at E1gewood for big feed
and made the trip down the grade
before dark.
Shortly afer leaving Bijou the
deck was cleared and dancing was
in order. When passing the num-
erous camping grounds the band
would strike up two-step and in a
moment the beach would become
alive with people. Some boy would
grab his girl and the the dance they
did was of the rag variety.
When nearing Emerald bay it be-
gan to rain, but the pleasure seekers
were protected by a canopy over
the barge and the rain was really
enjoyed.

eaJables.
BY counting noses it is estimated
that two hundred people from this
Valley will be present. Antelope

ed as well as other outside points
and the total number of visitors will
number $50, as well as can be esti-
mated.
By the request of the Alpiners
the Carson Valley Band will attend
the celebration, having generously
donated their services for the oc-
casion.
The main question asked by auto
owners is How are the roads,"
The road to Markleeville is in
splendid condition. 1t is a delight

joyed by every member of your

COMMENDABLE
| ROAD WORK
|Kingsbury Grade is Being Put
In Fine Condition--Best
Read to Lake Tahoe

One of the best jobs of road i'm
provement undertaken in this coun-
ty in some time is now in progress
on the Kingsbury grade. Saturday
night the workmen had reached the
second turn. From there to the
foot of the grade the road has been
transformed in one of the best
mountain boulevards to be found in
Nevada.
D For years the sand has creeped
down the bank and worked its way
into the road, making the grade
heavy pulling for teams and auto
mobiles. This sand is being remov-
ed with scrapers and the roadbed is
being left as smooth and hard as a
floor. At the same the road is be-
ing widened and when the work is
completed the grade willbe in every
bit as good condition as the Lake
Tahoe highway leading from Placer
vile.
When this work is completed the
kingsbury route to and from the
the Lake will become one of the
most favor ed of all routs for auto
mobile tourists. 1t is particularly
favored by being the shortest route.
An easy climb of six miles puts you
on the summit and and you are then
bat fifteen minutes from Bijou.
Much has been said about scenery
on the the different routes to the
Lake but the fact remains that the
view of Carson Valley from the
.Alngsbury grade cannot be sur
PASSED. 1t is like a panorama view
from above the clouds in an airship.
Several California automobile par
ties who have made he trip within
the last week declare that it was
the most inspiring sight on their
trip.
