CARSON VALLEY NOTES
Record-C Courier

P. c. Wilder, who recently sold
his Gardnerville property, is planning
to build a new residence on his
Smith valley farm. Bertram Jepsen
has been engaged to build the new
house.
The nbw company which has a
bond on the Ruby Hill copper mine
in Pine Nut, is installing a teaching
plant and within a short time will
commence the treatment OF ores
from this property.
Guy Anderson met with a painful
accident last week while sharpening
a Ratchet on the emery wheel at the
Nielsen shop. In some manner the
handle of the Ratchet caught in the
belt and pulled the instrument out of
his hand, the blade striking him on
the instep. DR.. Hawkins dressed
the wound and took five stitches to
close the cash.
Friday an Overland 80 driven
by DR.. Frank Brown of Minden, was
the first car to reach Lake Tahoe
this season under its own power. The
trip was made over the kingsbury
grade and the doctor was accompan-
led by his wife, NJ. E. Fay and Henry
Bruins. 1t required four hours %
make the trip from the foot OF the
grade as several large snow drifts
were encountered and it was neces-
sar to do some ~shoveling in order
to give the wheels traction.

Observation-Disclosures.
Over The Williamson Charter
Bill in the State Senate
before 1t Passes.
tsy ASSOCIATED paEss,

CHARLESTON, FEB. 2.-The ap,
pearance in the Senate today of the
Williamson charter bill aroused the
|most heated controversy Of the ses-
sion. 1t was pointed out that the
bill provided for the appointment by
the governor of FIVE commissioners
to administer the affairs Of the city
and that feature was ,attacked
promptly. All the Democratic mem.
bers and three Republicans voted
against the bill, but the remainder
of the Republicans held the majority
and the measure was passed. Sena-
tors Rosenbloon, Keim and Mar.
shall, Republicans, who opposed the
bill. declared the placing Of the Sc
lection of commissioners in the hands
of the chief executive might prove
Ia dangerous precedent.

LONDON, Feb. 2.The German
line after long period of prepare
ton appears today. Judging from re-
ports reaching here. to be putting
into execution their plans for an adj
vance on Warsaw. At the same time
the Austrians seem to have renewed
their forward movement In the Car
pathians.
The fighting in the Carpathians is
expected to decide the mastery OF
the three most important passes
through the mountains-U zsok, Duk-
la and Wyszkow. The strategic
value Of these passes is indicated by
the fact that Wyszkow Is almost due
south from Lemberg while Uzsok Is
in the same relative position from
Przemysl and Dukla is situated sim-
ilarly with regard to Cracow. The
fighting in the Carpathians apparent
ly has not yet assumed full proper
tions but the Austro-G German concen-
tration continues Notwithstanding
Russian gharassment. s
Spirited contests are in progress in
the western war zone; also, the Ger
mans having made attacks In force at
LaBassee and along the coast. The
French assert that the battle OF La
Bassee has not resulted In change
of positions while along the coast the
German attack is directed at the re-
covery Of the great dune artillery POI
sitions near, Lombaertzyde, which,
however, remain in the possession OF
the allies.
London's Zeppelin scare Of. last
night now appears to have been in
the nature Of a rehearsal. No foun-
dalton is discovefable for the rumors
that the German aircraft were trav-
cling over Dover. The firing of the
Dover forts Is said to have been a
warning to ships which omitted to
comply with port regulations.
The German submarine raiders, al
though not known positively to have
been in the Irish sea within the last
;twenty-four hours, still hold In port a
majority of the coasting steamers and
fishing boats. Liverpool insurance

four times the former figures.
