FALSE REPORT
CIRCULATED

A report gained circula ii on
through the Valley this week to the
effect that that the Douglas County
Creamery, which has been in opera
tion since 1902, would ceasd busi-
ness on September lst.
When asked about the report, M
Jacobsen, president of the company
said that : the report was news to
him. mo sir, continued Mr.. Jacob.
sen the Douglas Creamery is not to
be shut down September lst. Al
present the daily output of butter
is between 800 and 1000 pounds and
it is bringing top market price. II
is true, however, that the operating
expenses of the creamery are to be
cut down as much as possible with
out impairing the efficiency of the
plant"
1t is deplorable that such a false
and malicious story could get start.
ed, especially against such a we'll
meaning institution. Since its es.
tabishment the Douglas Creamery
has distributed over million dollar;
in cold cash TO the farmers of this
Valley. This creamery laid the
corner stone to many independent
FORTUNES. 1t certainly flashed The
dawn of prosperity to many families
in this Valley and it is an earnest
wish that it continue its good
work for many years to come.

Was Not the Man
Wanted in WaShOe Co.

Last Saturday the Genoa officers
arrested man that had been acting
strangely for several days. Just
prior to being arrested he was seen
lounging in the cemetery and at the
approach of two ladies he vanished
into the brush.
Upon being examined he gave a
rather hazy account of his wander
ings. He tailed exactly with the
descriptions sent out by the Sher-
iff of Washoe countylof a Spaniard
wanted there for murder and the
Reno officers were notified of the
arrest.
Sheriff Burke and officer Higgins
came out from Reno and examined
the suspect and found that he was
not Manuel Arranz, who is wanted
for murder. The prisoner tailed
very closely with that of Arranz.

Dania will be held at Valhalla Hall
tomorrow evening, August 23rd
For many years the annual dance of
the Society DANA has been a social
event looked forward to with the
most expectant anticipation by both
old and young. This is an occasion
when the older folks forget their
time and again swing forth into the
whirl of gaity of another world.
The good old fashioned quadrille,
the Virginia reel and the dance of
all dances, the Danish polka is born
again. When all has been said a.
bout other dances, the Danish dance
stands out like a giant above them
all.
The Carson Valley band will
furnish music for the occasion while

Several grand officers of the So
ciety Dania will be here from San
Francisco to pay an official visit to

Farmers BuSu
Harvesting
Crops

The farmers of Carson Valley
have just entered upon the busiest
period of the harvest season. Gram
has ripened and during the first Of
the week binders and headers were
started out in many fields. The old
style reaper has become Obsolete
and is seldom seen this Valley, hav-
ing been relegated to the scrap
heap by the introduction of the
combined header and binder. The
grain crop is reported to be above
the average yield harvested in this
Valley.
= With the harvesting of the grain
crop comes the cutting of the second
crop of alfalfa and the farmers are
buster than bees in handling the two
crops. This cutting of alfalfa is not
as heavy as that cut in more favor
abls seasons but is very fair crop
nevertheless.
The farmers can continue to buy
automobiles, build new homes and
and carry out Improvements with
out fear of facing a crop failure
next year or those to follow.

Reclaim Land
In Carson
Valley

Plans for sinking wells and putting
under cultivation several hundred
acres ST in the Carson valley adjoin-
ing the Virginia and Truckee tracks
in which he has held an interest for
years, are being made b. Surveyor
General Matthew Kyle. The land
was taken up by Mr. Kyle and for
mer Governor Jones long ago, and
is now held by M. Kyle and the son
of the one time governor of the
state. Mr.. and Mrs. Kyle, accom-
panied by Mr.. Jones have just made
an extended trip through the val
ley, as a result of which Mr.. Kyle
expresses the utmost faith in the
valley and in the feasibility of
pumping water for irrigation.
Pumping of water he says, is be-
ing stimulated by the work of the
Truckee River General Electric
company in furnishing elec ric
power at so low cost that steam or
gasoline cannot compete with it..
With low fiat rate, ranchers are
allowed to use all the power they
wish in the dayt me, shutting off +,
however, at night, on account of the
necessity of using the power for
illumination. The company is said
to have a crew of men at work in
Carson Valley extending its lines.
This work is in charge of l.. Y.
Brown, who is doing a great deal
in this way to encourage agricul-
tural development Reno Gazette.

Reservoirs

1t seem quite apparent that had
it not been for the stored water of
the Alpine Land and Reservoir COM
pany, the second crop of alfalfa on
the East Fork would have suffered
greatly. There has hardly been a
season in the farming history of
this Valley that the natural flow of
the Carson River has fallen to such
low point as it is at present. The
reservoir water has been eagerly
sought by all users but at all times
the stockholders of the company
have been served first and then it is
passed along to other users. No
one is allowed any more than his
requirements absolutely demand
The flow has been carefully measur-
ed and divided with exacting fair
ness.
The supply of stored water is
about exhausted at this time and
its value is thoroughly recognized
by water users.
The stockholders of the Alpine
Reservoir company, who have stuck
by their scheme from the very first,
often with little or no encourage
ment, are now being patted on the
back for their forethought. Had
the Alpine company been backed by
the entire East Fork from the very
first, enabling the material increase
in the storing capacity of the reser
voirs, a water shortage would have
been made a thing of history.

gentlemen spoke very encouragingly
of the work being carried on by
their superintendent f. w. Carman.
DIR. Abb speaking for himself, said:
I'VE found the new 40-ton Lane
mill nearly completed and which
will be ready to put in
operation September 1st. At the
mine things are looking good and
we are returning to Cleveland more
than satisfied with what we have
seen."
The gentlemen were not prepared
to find such prosperous agricul-
tural district in barren" Nevada

surprises that greets most Eastern

The simple style has taken the field foI
the street, and it is WELL for it is always
in better taste. The use of figured mate
rails has much to do with this fact, for
plain outlines show fabrics to best ad-
vantage.
The frock illustrated herewith offers a
new model cut on plain lines The waist
has a plastron effect in front and is
plain in the back. Below the belt are
peplum sections, which add much to the
style of the design. The neck is low and
is finished with a wide collar. The
sleeves may be either long or short.
The skirst is a four-gore design with a
panel back and the closing may be placed
at either side of this panel.
All the new figured materials and also
plain whipcord, Bedford cord, linen and
pique can be used In making this gown.
The dress pattern, No 6174 is cut in
sizes "a to a inches bust measure. Med
ium size requires AZ yards of 44-inch
material.
The pattern can be obtained by send
ing 10 cents to the Pattern Department

SUFFRACISTS SEWING

Women's Headquarters Being Made
Homeike While Miss Paul Tells
of Michigan Defeat.

Miss Alice Paul, leader of the local
suffragists, made her first apology fol-
Michigan yesterday. She said:
Our defeat in Michigan was due to the
fact that interests conspiring against
equal suffrage concentrated their forces
in the last campaign. whereas in the
first campaign the opposition was di-
vided among several States. Also. floods
In the country and spring blowing and
sowing made the rural vote unusually
small"
1t is understood that local suffragists
had all the details of a large celebra-
ton planned, and that news Of defeat
came as an unexpected and crushing dis
appointment
Miss Paul said that an idea of the ben
efits that equal suffrage will bring with
1t can be inferred from the work done
by the local Consumers League. Most
of the women who take active part in
the work of such organizations are suf-
ragists. She announced that at the an
nual meeting of the Consumers League
at Rauscher's next Monday, Miss Fran
ces Perkins, who is noted as suffrage
worker, philanthropist and social work.
er will speak on Legislative Protection
for Working Women" 1t is the Women,
Miss Paul said, who best appreciates the
need of protecting women and children
in industry, and that the best laws are
only to be expected after the women get
the ballot.
More letters came in yesterday from
members of Congress in answer to the
hundreds of petitions delivered recently
at the Capitol. Among them, two
warmly sympathetic letters from Senator
Thomas Of Colorado, chairman of the
Committee on Equal Suffrage, and from
Representative Knowland of Florida
pleased the workers most.
Work of making headquarters home

CENTRAL-BANK WAS
FAVORED By JACKSON
r G. Miliken Belisyes @0Id Hieksry''
Was Disposed to General Principle
Despite Famous Veto.

II. Z. MtiHken, local monetary writer,
delivered an address under the auspices
OF the educational bureau Of the Young
Mems Christian Association last even
Ing. entitled THE Views Of President
Jackson Respecting the So-Called Cen
trail Bank Mr.. Milliken contended
that. instead Of being opposed to the
principle Of the so-called central bank,
as Is popularity supposed, jackson was
so favorably disposed to the principle
that he declared he felt it his duty. at
one time. to submit plan to Congress.
To substantiate his position, Mr.. MilIiken
quoted from Jackson's celebrated mes
sage to Congress of July 10. 1882, vetoing
the act to recharter the United States
bank.
Mr.. Milliken declared the language of
this message clearly established the fact
that jackson favored the principle of
central bank 1T becomes necessary,
therefore," said he. Ito consider some of
the events of that period. Two years be-
fore Jackson was inaugurated President
there was published in London a most
important treatise on banking, one which
to this day is a standard authority in
every country having international COM
merce, which gave to its author, James
w. Gilbart, F. r. S., great renown as
a monetary thinker.
IL is HeceSSdry, therefore, 10 ulrect
your attention to the philosophy of Gil
bart, as he and Jackson had one i'm
portant interest In common-the destruc-
ton Of bank monopoly. Jackson des-
troyed the bank which was operating in
this country, while Gilbart merely de-
stroyed the monopoly then. enjoyed by
the Bank of England. and made it real
bank of commerce. Gilbart first an
nounced the truth, that the merchant
was the permanent regulator of the in
terest rate.
Had Jackson been a philosopher of
credit, like Gilbart, he would not have
treated his admitted duty in the man
ner he did, but would have used his
knowledge to give his country a scien-
tific credit system.
There Is little question that jack
sons attention was called to Gil
bart's philosophy soon after it was an
nounced, but when II became necessary
for him to act, he doubtless remembered
only enough Of his quickly acquired in
formation on an abtruse subject to feel
confident he was justified in vetoing the
charter, and at the same time destroy
his implacable foe, the United States
bank. i am confident it was Jackson's
intention to use his efforts in giving the
country real bank of commerce"

JEWELRY NEEDS A,
PERIODIC CLEANING

Some of the most particular and fas-
tidious of women seem to forget that
jewelry requires periodic cleaning. The
same idea sometimes prevails with lace.
which is worn until it present a terribly
grimy aspect. Lace is sometimes too
costly and too fragile to be sent to the
cleaner very often, but no such excuse
can be put forward in the case of
jewelry. 1t responds readily to brush
ing up with plate powder, especially a
fine kind sold by some jewelers. for the
purpose.
One sees gold chains and gold brace
lets without any jewels positively beg
ging for a good wash in soap and water
with soda in it. 1t makes them look
like new. and the trouble is infinitesi-
NAL. A good rubbing up after INNER
sion in the water brings them to the
brilliance that gold should have.

Princess Eugene Paleologa, who lives
In West kensington, London, says that
she has better right to rule Con-
stantinople than the Sultan of Turkey,
the Car of Bulgaria, or even the united
powers Of Europe. For she is direct
descendant of the old Byzantine en-
perors, who ruled the great Eastern en-
pire, with Constantinople as their CAPT.
tai, for hundreds of years, until the
Turks overthrow the Emperor Constan-
tine Paleologue, in 1853. The princess has
documents to prove her descent from
the last Constantine, and in the event of
the Balkan states driving out the Turks
from Europe, she hopes to have the
throne of her forefathers restored to her.
