cident. He was going at the rate of
about fifty miles an hour. All went

to get out of the track for the auto and
Chris made dive over an embankment
with his machine and got out without
getting hurt or injuring the car.
Chas. Fischer, Jr., went to Des Moines
some time ago in his big six cylinder

level road he did not notice o sudden
turn in the road and plunged straight
over fifteen foot embankment. Being
alert he threw on all the brakes and
landed in safety at the bottom of the
ravine.
The continued mild weather is caus-
ing some uneasiness among stockholders
of the creamery company. If there
isn't zero weather within the next few
weeks, the ice crop will be a failure.

The Wool Market

The wool market is in very un-
settled condition at the present
time and wool growers do not seem
anxious to dispose of their spring
clips at prevailing prices. Buyers
are offering l3 and IA cents while
the growers are holding out for 10
and Is cents. While a few sales
have been made in this section at
present prices, they are very light
when compared with the sales dur
ing former years at this time. The
wool market is a gamble this year
and know one knows what it will be
when the tariff tinkerers have finish
ed their work. 1t is claimed that
there is a shortage of wool in every
market in the world.

To Reconstruct.
Telephone
System

The Smith Valley Telephone COM
pany is about to begin the recon-
struction of their lines in that Val
ley. The first carload of poles have
been received and work will soon
start on the rebuilding of the CON-
pany's lines.
Besides the exchange in Smith
Valley, the company owns the toll
line between Wellington and Gard
nerville and intend to put it in first
class condition. In the past two
years the long distance business over
this line has increased two-fold and
it is thesdesire of the company to
give the public the best possible
service. The rapid influx of settlers
to Smith Valley has created broad
er field for telephone system and the
lines are to be extended to the many
new homes that now dot the fertile
lands of Smith Valley.
Although the w. E. Reading COM
pany hold a large amount of stock
in the telephone company, the farm
ers Of. that section are equally inter-
ested in the enterprise.

Case Cars in Demand

A. J. Oleson, factory representa-

making is making his headquarters
at the Doris garage at Reno re-
ports an excellent outlook for the
sale of Case cars in Nevada. He has
just returned from Carson Valley
where he delivered two of the big
Case Forties to r. Fricke and r.
Winkelman.
The Case company looks on Neva-
da as one of its best fields for the
sale of Base cars, which are espec-
tally well adapted to this vicinity on
account of their power and sturdi-
ness of construction. Although
some trouble has been experienced
since the first of the year in getting
the cars first enough to supply the
demand, Mr.. Oleson reports the cars
as coming into Reno now at the
rate of two carloads a week.
The Case company is one of the
oldest concerns in the United States
being established in 1912 and now in
its list year. Two branch houses
cater to the needs of Nevada, one
at Salt Lake City, where large
stocks of cars; repairs and supplies
are carried Reno Journal.

assembled to pay honor to the
members of the graduating class.
The hall was nicely decorated for

youth of Carson Valley is receiving
the lasting benefits Of home train
ing as we'll as superior educational
advantages as offered in the county
high school.

her delivery was perfect.
The walking song by the Camp
Fire girls was greatly enjoyed by
the audience and they were heartily
applauded.

Judge Norcross, was, without ex-
ception, the most interesting ad-
dress pertaining to education ever
heard here.
After a few appropriate remarks

Board of Education, presented the
diplomas to the class of 1918. The
five graduates were: Grace Dang
berg, Anna Heise, Juanita Frey,

FOR SUNDAY
CLOSING
Business Men Sign Agreement
To Take Effect, Beginning
June 9th.

Whereas the great majority Of
people affiliated with the various
churches in our community, as well
as great number of others without
church affiliation whatever, consider
it injurious to the good morals of
our community if our stores remain
open on Sundays for the purpose
of transacting business, inasmuch as
it will prevent the owners of the
mercantile establishments, as well
as their employees from attending
the morning worship at the church.
es; inasmuch as it will tend to
obliterate the marked difference
which should exist between a Sum-
day and week day; and inasmuch
as it will also paralize and finally
deaden in many the due respect
which everybody should have with
regard to the Sunday.
Furthermore, whereas everybody
considering the matter from the
right point of view will readily
comprehend and willingly admit,
that the business men, as well as
those in their employe are just as
well entitled to the Sunday as a day
of rest, as not in any business, and
that they also, as others, should be
permitted to observe the day as they
desire.
Now, therefore, we the under
signed business men, in view of the
public sentiment and local agitation
in this matter, and as a result of
the weight which has been brought
to bear upon US in this respect, have
this day entered into an agreement
among ourselves, that, beginning
June Sth, 1918, and every Sunday
thereafter our stores will remain
closed, and no business will be
transacted whatever either publicly
or secretly. We promise to abide
with this agreement faithfully.
In witness whereof, we the under
signed haqe hereunto set our hands,
