BARBECUE
IS BILLED
TO BE HELD AT
MARKLEEVILLE
Carson Valley People Will At
tend and Assist in the
Celebration

On Sunday, July 9th, two officials
of the United States Reclamation
Service will inspect the reservoir
sites in Alpine county and the peo-
pie of that county, and especially
Markleeyille, are planning to hold a
barbecue on that day. In this
undertaking they have the support
of the leading citizens of this Val
ley. 1t is expected that no less than
fifty auto loads of people from this
Valley will attend the barbecue and
other festivities to be pulled off in
the Alpine town.
In all probability the band boys
will make the trip as the Alpine
people have extended them a spec
ial invitation to be present.
The occasion Of the pilgrimage is
to show an interest in the proposed
reclamation scheme now being con
sidered by the government and
which means so much for the future
of Carson Valley. Also to get in
closer touch with our Alpine neigh
bors and pay them visit that We
rightfully owe them.

PUMPING
WA TX R
Surface Well Throwing 100 In.
Sufficient to Irrigate Two
Hundred Acres

With the present shortage of
water for irrigation purpose in Car
son Valley, brings forth the advan-
tages that may be obtained through
surface wells as a source of water
supply when the flow in the river
fails. At the Dangberg pumping
plant near Minden a well forty feet
is Ithrowing 100 inches of water,
estimated to be sufficient to irrigate
two hundred acres of land. This
estimate is furnished by II. f. Dang
berg and while he freely admits
that it does not allow for fragrant
waste, it is sufficient to mature
crops on 200 acres of land.
Mr.. Dangberg believes that this
is the most practical and economical
method of obtaining an emergency
supply of water for use during dry
seasons, such as has been experience
ed during the past two years. 1t is
not an expensive exIe ime IT I'd OF e
that every farmer can carry out.
Electric power lines run to nearly
every farm on the East Fork and
cheap power is at hand.
Ii every East Fork rancher could
walk out tomorrow morning and
throw in switch and start an cleo
trio pump that would deliver 100
inches of water there would be great
Joy and water for all

THE ALPINE
HIGHWAY
Easy Grade From Woodfords
to Lake Tahoe---Scenery
Is Magnificent

A representative of this paper
took and auto trip over the new
Alpine highway Sunday to Lake
Tahoe, returning the same route,
total distance of 86 miles. From
Woodfords-.to the Lake:there is but
one stiff pull and that is on the
double S turn. The ascent to
Hope Valley is gradual and over
very good road. The road to the
Lake turns to the right just after
passing the first house in Hope Val
ley. There is really no sign of a
road there but turn off anyway end
you will soon cross a bridge and get
on the road proper. From here the
road winds in and out between
giant trees then through a dense
cottonwood forest and before you
realize it Grass Lake, comes into
view and from there you drop down
into Lake over a steep, winding
grade. The road follows along
meadow for several miles and brings
you out on the main road at the foot
of the second summit grade.
Although this route to the Take is
the longest it is by far the easiest
of either the Kings Canyon or
Kingsbury grades.
However, the trip from the Lake
this way over the Alpine highway is
quite different. In places the road
is very steep and sandy and will tax
the power of any automobile to
make the climb. This part of the
road will eventually be improved.
Several signs directing tourists to
different towns were noticed along
route, but for some reason or aneth-
er Gardnerville is not given a place
on the signboards.
The Alpine highway offers most
enjoyable automobile trip, travers-
ing the widest mountain
scenery to be found in the Sierra
Nevada mountains.

Two automobile loads of tourists
stopped in Markleeville a few days
ago, having crossed over from Gala
veras county via the Big Tree
road. Although informed that the
road was impossible the made the
trip without any difficulty whatever
and did not have even so much as
a puncture. In fact they report
the road to be in excellent condi-
ton. The party was from Oakland
and was composed of the following:
J. r. Sorenson, wife and daughter,

TAHOE
EXCURSION
GIVEN BY THE BAND
BOYS THIS SUNDAY
Boat Will Leage BUou at Nine
A. M. and Carson Valley
People Invited.

An excursion around Lake Tahoe
has been arranged for next Sunday,
July Goth, by the members of the
Carson Valley Band. Quite a num-
ber have been anxious to
make the trip around the Lake and
the band boys decided to take the
lead and opened negotiations with
Duane Bliss, manager of the Lake
Tahoe Transportation company and
succeeded in getting the boat for
next Sunday.
This will probably be the only, ex-
cursion conducted from this end of
the Lake this season and will afford
an opportunity you cannot afford to
miss. The price of the round trip
will be 81.
The boat will leave Bijou at 9
a. m. and will stop at all of the re-
sort on the Lake, returning to Bijou
in ample time to make the drive
home before dark.
The boat will accommodate one
hundred people and many of those
who are going intend to take their
lunch. However, the steamer will
stop at one Of the resorts at noon
and those who do not care to take
their lunch can secure their meal
there.

composed of local people. They did
some work on the property.
The mine is well developed and
large bodies of silver and lead ore
are exposed in the tunnels on three
levels. In early days the property
was successfully worked. The death
of the owner stopped operations and
for years the heirs allowed the mine
to remain idle. Finally the Jessen
brothers purchased it and expended
large sum of money developing
the property. However, before
they could properly equip the mine
with the machinery to extract the
values, funds ran short and the
Douglas company was organized.
Work continued for while and
then ceased.
The news cf the deal made this
week has been received with elation
by the people in this community.
1t is beginning to look like mining
in this county had at last found its
own. With the work now bein q
carried on at the Longfellow by Mr..
Carman's company, the new deal of
the Winters and the possibility of
increased activity at the Ruby Hill,
the mining outlook never looked
better.

CARSON RIVER IS LOWER
THAN WAS EVER KNOWN

Tuesday morning VIM. Settelmey-
er, II. F. Dangberg, F. Stuver, a
government photographer; Hans
Jessen and Otto Hussman, water
commissioners, measured the Carson
river above Rodenbah's and found
that l64 second feet of water was
then obtainable for irrigation pur-
poses on the East Fork. This is
sufficient to irrigate $4,000 acres OF
land, according to information
furnished this paper.
At the same time the flow is far
below normal and the shortage is
causing much worry to farmers who
are depending for water for their
second crop.
Every possible aid should be given
the water commissioners in distribu-
ting the water as it is believed that
judicial government of the flow will
enable all to save the second crop.
To do this, however, the co-opera-
ton of every farmer is required.
The water stored in the noun
tains by the Alpine Land & Reser-
voir county will be turned down to-
day and the supply will last for a.

bout two weeks. The storage water
will be Godsend this season. If
the storage capacity of the reser-
voirs were three times as great as
they are, there would be no need of
anxiety over the present water
shortage.
Should the government decide to
take hold of the situation and build
storage reservoirs in the upper
water sheds of the Carson, to pro-
tect this Valley and also increase The
supply for use in Churchill county,
it would be the most advanced step
for the betterment of a Greater
Carson Valley, that could possibly
be taken. Senator Newlands is
using every effort to secure federal
aid for such project and is strong
influence is being felt. The gov
ernment is now making estimates
and keeping a record of the flow
and such other data as is required
before such a project is decided ur-
on. 1t is sincerely hoped that the
Investigations now being carried on
will prove so feasible and encourag-
ing that the government will build
the reservoirs.

Kitchen Aprons.

Aprons for wear in the kitchen
should be all enveloping. They can be
made of gingham. percale or white
lawn, but however made they should
completely cover the skirt, and should
have large bib. A ruf1ie about the
bottom of the apron protects the hem
of the dress, as it catches and wards
off anything which is spilled or drop
ped.
Kitchen aprons need not be unat-
tractive because they are big and serv-
iceable. They can be made OF white
self-figured percale or madras, edged
with blue or pink or any other color.
a folded bias lawn band can be folded
over the edges of the apron like a
binding, or scalloping braid, which is
cold in many colors and styles. can be
stitched under neatly turned hem.

VITAL QUESTION OF REVENUE
Saloon Evil Is Comparatively Light
Income Is Immense.

The most dangerous phase of the
revenue question is the national one.
The cost to the national treasury from
the saloon evil is comparatively light,
and the revenue derived is very
large sum. The reports of the COM
missioners of internal revenue, issued
August, 1910, show receipts of $685.
601, 10000. This immense revenue
paralyzes the moral nerve OF the au-
thorities at Washington. and little
help in controlling the evil can be ex-
pected from that quarter until the
work in the various states Is far ad-
vanced.
Government officials and the public
generally will some time be convinced
that it is a short-sighted economy.

and even Europe is learning OF their great
charm and beauty They fond Of home life
and make ideal mothers, although they are not
domestic to a sordid degree. They are as fond
Of society as the women Of the United States.
only they are absolutely without the faintest
trace of snobbishness. which is probably due to
their breeding They wonderfully well In
formed and well bred women. and strangely
enough their social obligations are never such
as to interfere with their home life.
They are a pleasure-loving people, fond Of mti-
sic, drama and entertainment. The latest styles

Europe, who are frequently heard in Buenos
Ayres before they come to the United States.
The people OF Argentina make less Of their three

adopt more customs and manners from the
French than from Americans or English.

and wears her clothes well with great deal Of
