AUTO MAKES
RECORD RUN

County Clerk Dunlap of Alpine
county, made a record run recently
with his Overland ear and he defes
anyone to duplicate the feat A party
sent word to Markleeville from a
point two mile beyond the summit of
the Big Tree road. that they needed
gasoline. Fred secured case of gas
and in just one hour and twenty
minutes he was pouring gas in the
stranded car. The road winds along
treacherous grade above Carson
river where it requires great skill to
drive and then up over the Double S
grade, one of the steepest climbs
and hardest tests that an an auto can
be subjected to. Mr.. Dunlap has
cause to be proud of the achievement

representatives, composing the ap-
preparation committee, that visited
the Valley d few months ago were
hunting for evidence to fight the ap-
preparation rather that for evidence
TO support ii. He did not believe that
they found what they were hunting
for because the work already being
done by the farmers of Carson Valley
and the undispntible evidence of the
productiyeness of the soil was every
where was too great to be overcome
Many of the eastern and southern
Representatives in Congress are di-
rectly opposed to government assist
ance in reclamation projects and
a hard fight Is ahead for additional
projects of this nature. However,
he said that the proposed bond issue,
wherein bonds are to be issued in
the amount of the cost of the work,
they to draw five per cent interest,
and whenthe interest amounts to the
sum of the principal, the bonds are to
be returned and cancelled, will have
much bearing on congress in passing
the appropriation measure.
In speaking of reclamation works
of the government, he said many
blunders had been made, principally
because the first projects were moth
ing more than experiments, and in all
experiments mistakes were sure to
occur. Profiting by these mistakes
future reclamation underta kings
would be less expensive and the main
tenance charges would be much less
than in the past. He sited the Fallon
project as an example where instead
of the the farms being in close proxi-
mate, they were scattered over vast
tretch, necessitating the upkeep of
many miles of canals and bitches, thus
bringing the maintenance charges to
a high figure
Senator Pittman is greatly in favor
of the Carson Valley project because
he believes that conditions here are
extremely favorable for its success.
as is evidenced by the prosperity
that abounds on all sides andw here
ever water has been applied to the
soil. He declared that the project
would not only be help to our valley
towns, but would also mean much to

to the entire nation.
