PUMPING WATER
FOR IRRIGATION

Great strides will be made in
pump irrigation in this Valley this
season than ever before. The
Truckee River Electric company is
building its power line up the river
from the F'ulstone ranch with its
terminal point at Genoa, where the
company will furnish lights. This
work : will be completed in about
six weeks and Genoa residents will
discard their coal oil lamps.
The farmers below Genoa are
arranging to install electric pumps
to irrrigate land that has never be-
fore been cultivated. The pumps
are to lift water from the Car
son river Among those who are
to install pumps are j. l.. Campbell,
Chas. Girdelli, A. Dressler, Chas.
Fulstone and probably VIM. Adams.
Mr.. Dressler, Adams and Cook &
Heitman own and operate their own
electric plants but the capacity is
limited bv the flow from the can
yons, the source of their water pow
er. With the power obtainable
from the Truckee company, Mr..
Dressler will operateithree pumps in
all, one pump will be installed on
the Campbell ranch. one by Chas.
Gardeli, and later on VIM. Adams
intends to install an additional
pump.
By the use of these pumps large
area of heretofore arid land will
be brought under cultivation.
In the locality where these pumps
are being installed, the river bed is
twelve feet or more in depth and
the water cannot be diverted by
the means of dams, without injuring
or flooding the land of others.
BY the application of cheap electric
power the water can be pumped at
a splendid advantage to land own
ers.

Ford Company Sell a
Car Every As Minutes

To sell its output of 100000 cars
this year, the Ford Motor Com
pany, must sell car every forty
five seconds during the entire year.
This, however, is not the difficult
task it might be. Although the
company has built and sold to date
as many cars as it did last year, it
has far from filled the orders that
have piled in upon it from all parts
of the world.
If you expect to own a Ford car
this season, you had better place an
order for one now. A. w. H. Hell
berg, Gardnerville, is selling Ford
cars.

A Severe Test

With the road-racing champion
ship awarded, and with Louis Dis
brow crowned dirt-track king, the
question of touring honors is now
being widely discussed by automo-
bile experts throughout the country.
Barring those who give all their
time to pathfinding and map max
ing, the success of F. X. Bull, the
president of the j. |. Case T. M.
Company, is his transcontinental
trip, which took in the most north
ern course known to American
automobilists, stands out as one of
the biggest achievements accredited
to any American tourist. Mr..
Bull End number of friends early
in September started for Canada,
and decided after reaching Winni-
peg to travel westward through the
the Canadian rockies to the Pacific
coast. At this season of the year
this was particularly perilous un-
dertaking.
The fall rains, which are so preva-
lent in the northwestern part of
Canada at this time of the year, had
set in and the prairies were trans
formed into sea of mud.
Mr.. Bull wanted to severely test
out the new 1918 models of the Case
automobiles to discover if any de-
tails in construction had been over
looked or could be improved in any
way.
Two cars were used in the long
trip, a Case 30 and Case 40 The
two machines were the first 1918
models built by the Case company,
and Mr.. Bull, in accomplishing the
journey gave them as severe a test
as new automobile was ever sched-
nled to endure.

BUILDING
CISTERNS

j. l.. Hoffman, who owns the
cement and tile plant at Minden has
been awarded a contract to build
three concrete fire cisterns in Gard
nerviile and already has the work
well under way One of the cisterns
will be near the Douglas County
Bank, one near the Kruse stable and
the third on Minnie street.
At the depth of twelve'feet water
runs in the excavation at the rate
of about 500 gallons per minute and
with the reserve that will always
stand in the cisterns, ample water
will always be on hand in case that
it is needed.
When this work is completed there
will be seven fire cisterns in Gard
nerville. At least two more will be
added to this list before long.
These cisterns have been badly
needed as protection against fire
for long while. To rely upon ir-
rigation bitches as a source of water
supply has proven in the past to be
very uncertain and costly expert
ment.
The next equipment added for
fire protection, should be chemical
engine.

TO
START WORK

E. w. Carman, superintendent
and general manager of the Long
fellow Mining company, arrived
here Sunday from Cleveland, Ohio,
and went to the company's property
in Red Canyon to lay out the sum-
mers' work.
Mr.. Carman spent the past two
weeks in Salt Lake and Los Ange-
les selecting and purchasing the new
mill and equipment to be installed
at the Longfellow this summer.
A Lane mill, capable of handling
30 tons of ore per day, is the princi-
pal part of the equipment to be in
stalled. The mill will be operated
by 20 h. p. internal combustion en-
gine. The rock crusher will be
operated by a separate engine in
order to prevent any uneveness of
the running of the mill, such as a
rock crusher gives. Concentrators
will be installed at the same time.
The mill will be built at Carman
Heights on the old Pratt millsite
and within short time a mill ex-
pert will arrive at the mine and lay
out the work of remodeling the old
mill building to meet requirements
of the new machinery
A small electric plant is to be in
stalled to furnish lights for the mill
and other buildings at Carman
Heights. New quarters for the
men are to be the first work under
taken.
Mr. Carman hopes to have the
mill ready for operation during the
month of August. However, that
is problematical at this time. The
road to Red Canyon needs repairing
before this heavy machinery can be
hauled in. Mr.. Garman is in hopes
that the county will give some aid
in repairing this road, and thus give
its mite towards the development of
the mineral resources of Douglas
county.

Last Term For
Prof. Vaughn

Prof. Vaughn, principal of the
Douglas County High School, has de-
cided to take up course Of advanc-
ed study at the University of Cali
fornia at the close of the present
term, and will be thus occupied for
a year or more.
This means that he will not be an
applicant for the principalship of the
Douglas High School next year and
that his school work in this COM
munity will end with the present
term.
Prof. Vaughn is deserving of the
highest praise for his splendid work
during the three years that he has
been in charge of the school. Out
side of the school room he has taken
a keen interest in athletic sports and
the crack basketball team is the re-
suit of his efforts.
1t is with deep regret that the
pupils and parents take his decision,
and only hope that his successor will
be his equal.

DEATH OF
MRS. HARRIS

Mrs. o. C. Harris passed away at
Sacramento, Friday, April 18th
from the effect of typhoid fever.
She left here some time ago for the
benefit of her health but the best
medical aid could not prolong her
life. Her remains arrived from
Sacramento Sunday morning and
were taken to the home of her mo-
ther on the west side of the Valley.
Deceased was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. P. w. Van Sickle. and
was born in this Valley. She was
aged 81 years, one month and nine
teen days.
Something over one year ago she
became the bride of o. c. Harris,
a we'll known an industrious young
man of this community. To make
her death doubly sad, she leaves a
tiny baby that she idolized only as
loving mothe.' could. Her death
is sad blow to her relatives and
friends and the entire community
mourns with the sorrowing hus-
band and relatives.
Besides the husband and child she
is survived by her mother, Mrs. P.
w. Van Sickle, a sister, Mrs. Thos.
Browne, and two brothers, James
and Peter Van Sickle.
The funeral services were held at
the Van Sickle residence Tuesday
afternoon and were largely attend
ed. Rev. Hornaday of the Method
ist Church officiated. The inter-
ment took place in the Mottsville
cemetery.

Investigate

Acting upon the request of Pc
tition filed with them at their last
meeting, the members of the Board
of County Comissioners made trip
of inspection Sunday over the road
to the Red Canyon Mining district.
Their decision as to whether or not
they will give assistance in repairing
this road will be guided from what
they saw and heard on the trip.
At this time, the mineral pre-
duction of this county is nothing.
For forty-five years the prospector
has been drawn to the Pine Nut
hills. Rich lodges have been found
and the gold extracted, as the Car
son mint records show. Much
gophering but very little scientific
mining has been carried on. In
those instances where legitimate
mining has been done, splendid re-
suits have been obtained. Among
them, the Longfellow, is about to
install mill and start crushing ore.
Work on the Red Canyon road
is badly needed. The Commission
ers will do commendable act if
they repair this road, and one that
will meet with the hearty approval
of every broad minded citizen.

other than the natural river flow
is problem that is now being at
tempted by the Dangberg company.
They started on this work last year
by installing pump on an artesian
well. While the experiment was
not failure, the volume of water
was not sufficient to meet require
ments. The Dangberg was not to
daunted so they set about with plans
to develop the pumping of surface
water. Selecting an old river chan
mel near Minden, excavations<were
made and 6 inch centrifugal pump
installed. Running at its fullest
capacity, the pump does not begin
to handle the water that has been
developed.
Should this experiment prove that
irrigation of land can be done with
surface water, the latter being OBJ
tainable sufficiently for such pur-
poses, the future of this Valley will
be long record of agricultural de-
velopment, increased population and
substantial and permanent growth
of the list of taxable property. The
expansion and growth of Carson
Valley depends entirely upon one
thing; water for irrigation on a
much wider scale. There may be
two ways of obtaining water for
this expansion. By a storage sys-
tenn in the water sheds of the Car
son river and by developing the
surface or underground flow. The
government reclamation service has
had an official here for the past sew
eral months investigating the ad-
visibility of a storage system to
hold back the flood waters of the
Carson river. This, with the SEEM
ing successful development of TN
derground source of water, it would
seem that the day of the vast ex-
panse of sagebrush land is of the
past and must soon give way to the
cultivation of crops.
