ASSOCIATION
OLDSMEET|NG

The Parent-Teachers Association
held a very interesting meeting at
the school house last Saturday even
ing and after taking up and disposing
of mater of interest to the school,
the matter of gathering material and
writing true history of Carson Val
ley was taken up. The subject was
discussed with much interest by the
members and later a committee OF
five was selected to carry on this
work.
From the fact that Genoa is the
Oldest town in Nevada and was the
place where the pioneers gathered
and carried out the plans for the for
nation of state government, to-
gether with the story of the life and
battles of hardships endured by those
courageous men who blazed the way
for the agricultural development OF
Carson Valley, opens up a rich field
for a rmearkable history, very little
OF WHICH mas ever Deen WTltteI.
The work undertaken by this COM
mittee will require several months to
complete. They already have in their
possession notes of pioneers who
took part in this work and which will
greatly aid them in their task. A few,
very few, of those pioneers, still
live and they will be able to give
some extremely interesting data for
the history to be written.
This paper hopes to be able to make
arrangements for the publication of
the work after its completion in order
to give to our readers story that yet
remains untold.

SUIT FILED

Charles w. Hickey, H. G. Humphrey
and w. H. Moffat, said to be the larg-
est and wealthiest cattle men in the
West, are accused of conspiracy to
defraud in a sensational suit filed in
the supreme court this afternoon by
Mrs. Caroline r. Olney of Oakland, a
widowed sister of the defendant,
/ Hickey.
resorting to fraud to deprive her of
one-third the income of a $2,000,000
corporation and charges that Hump
hrey and Moffat conspired with
Hickey to defraud her.
/ The Union Land and Cattle Com
pany, organized January |, 1914, also
is made defendant in the suit. and
Mrs. Olney asks that full account
ing of the transfer of stocks into this
corporation be made.
Mrs. Olney and Hickey are child
ren of T b. Hickey, wealthy cattleman.
In her complaint Mrs. Olney de-
clares that her father transferred to
his son, Charles W. Hickey, all the
stock in the Granite Mountain In
yestment Company, a corporation en-
bracing the elder Rickey's property
holdings, estimated at $2,000000.
The understanding, according to
Mrs. Olney, was that her brother was
to clear a $4,000 indebtedness a.
gainst the corporation, pay her father
100000 and for life give Mrs. Olney
one-third the income of the CORPORA
year.
Hickey called in Humphrey and
Moffat to help him, it is said After
paying off the Indebtedness, the third
formed the Antelope Valley Land and
Cattle Company. Mrs. Olney says,
Hickey transferring all of his stock
to that corporation. Later the Union
Corporation was formed and the
latter organization was transferred
to it. says Mrs Olney.
Mrs. Olney claims she knw nothing
of the formation of the last two COM
panies, and declares a conspiracy ex-
listed to defraud her.-San Francisco
Call.
The defendant in this suit in very
well known in Gardnerville and his
friends do not believe that he is party
to any scheme to defraud his sister.
Shortly after the Humphrey Moffat
DEAL he was ousted from the manage
ment of the Antelope Valley property,
which he had held under his father
here that harmony did not exist be-
tween he and the Moffat partnership.

NEW FENCE:
FOR CEMETERY

Through the efforts of p. Jacob
sen, a member of the Garden cemetery
association, a much needed improve
ment has been brought about by the
purchase of an iron fence and
front entrance gate for the cemetery
grounds, the purchase of which en-
tailed an expenditure of between four
and five hundred dollars.
Mr.. Jacobsen reports, that In
circulating the petition, he met with
the hearty and cordial financial sup
port of all those who have cause to
be interested In the appearance of the
Garden cemetery.
The iron fence and gate is being
built at factory in Ohio and u. on
its arrival here will Immediately be
put In place.
An effort should now be made to
park the cemetery grounds with shade
trees, which will do more to beautify
the silent city" than any other thing.
In years gone by there has been an
individual attempt to plant trees at
the cemetery but without much re-
suit. With united effort of all those
interested, and their financial as well
as their moral support given, the
scheme can be carried through with
success

POTASH FOUND EERE IN A
FEW PLANT MATERIALS

tmong the sources of potash
9vailable to South Carolina farmers
are several plant materials, some of
which are in reach of most of the
farmers of this state, according to
The Clemson Weekly News. Such
materials, are marsh grass, marsh
cuge. seaweed, and pine straw.
Analyses of these materials made by
the chemist of the South Carolina
Experiment Station at Clemson Col
!ege showed results as follows:
Four samples of marsh grass con-
tanned, respectfully, "a percent,
2.39 percent, 1.16 percent, and l.99
. percent potash.
A sample of dead marsh sedge
contained .O3 percent of potash.
Two samples of marsh sedge ashes
contained, respectively, .18 percent
and l.3S percent potash.
4 sample Of seaweed contained
$50 percent potash.
A sample of short-leaf pine straw
contained .21 percent potash.
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1915-12-15
A sample of long-leaf pine straw

A sample of long-leaf pine straw
contained Al percent potash.
Marsh grass, says the station
chemist, contains not only potash,
but also a considerable quantity of
nitrogen and a small quantity of
phosphorus. Gather all such ma
terials green because the potash rap
idly teaches out of the dead mate
rial. This fact proves it's value
when applied to land, for it is
water-soluble potash.
Short-leaf or long-leaf pine straw
is present on practically every farm
in South Carolina and its plant food
content is realized by very few
farmers. Moreover, it makes an
excellent litter for bedding animals.
