and artistically decorated with cut
flowers for the occasion and the bride
and groom and their assistants made
a chaming picture as they stood before
the marriage alter.
The wedding was attended by only
the immediate relatives of the con-
tracing parties and was strictly "A
private affair. While the approach
ing wedding was known fact to the
many friends of the young couple, they
had been led to believe that the mar
riage would not take place before

an agreeable surprise to their many
friends.
The bride is one of Carson Valleys
most popular young ladies, and by her
personal magnitude and charming
graces, has won and held large
circle of friends in this community.

CARSON TAKES
WRONG STAND

Ii has been made to appear that
those who are working to induce auto
tourists to make side trip to Carson
Valley from Lake Tahoe and other
points, have resorted to unfair means,
even to the extent of destroying road
signs at the junction leading to Glen
brook and Kingsbury grade. Such an
assertion is absolutely false, since the
people of Carson Valley are too broad
minded to resort to any such means.
As a matter of fact, no road signs have
been removed from the junction OF this
road, and any boy six years old could
not be wrongly directed by the signs
appearing there. On the left side OF
the road that leads to Glenbrook and
Carson stands a Lincoln higway sign,
known and understood by all autoists.
At the forks of the road one sign reads
Carson via Genoa and the other
Carson via Glenbrook'
Because few tourists have made
the trip through this Valley in pref
erence to the Kings Canyon route,
some of the Carson enthusiasts have
become engraged and have communi-
Gated with the Board of Trade at
route tourists via Kings Canyon.
Since Carson has started To fight
Wall IN. .f tff,

people and business men In general
in this section a new condition has
presented itself. Hardly a day passes
that from ten TO fifteen machines do
not come In from Los Angeles and the
south. Heretofore they have been ad-
vised To take the Kings Canyon route

routed over the Alpine State highway,
the most senic of all roads to Lake
Tahoe. Carson cannot expect to
yield the hammer at Carson Valley us
she has been doing the past few weeks
and expect any favors In return.
Carson has every right to boost her
Kings Canyon route but to do so by
slamming and knocking other routes.

Co.
Ships New Hay

The II. II. Springmeyer Land De-
yelopment ard Live Stock Company
OF this Valley. made a record this
week in the shipment OF two carloads
OF new hay. To our knowledge, new
hay has never before been shipped
from Carson Valley before August.
In order TO accommodate several
Goldfeli and Tonopah customers that
we're entirely out OF hay. NJ Mack. OF
the Springmeyer company put NOW
ers To work last week. The first crop,
cut for this shipment. was well cured
in the field and hauled direct to the
hay press and baled. The new hay
gave the utmost satisfaction to the
customers. This hay brought $14.00
per ton owing to the shortage existing
at this time
II is stated the Minden Produce conf
pany. cannot supply cusomers. owing
to the fact that there is no hay to be
had In this Valley at the present time
Probably other farmers may be in
duced to follow the example of the
Springmeycr company who arc inde-
pendent shippers.

BARBECUE WAS
WELL ATTENDED

The barbecue at the prison farm
last Sunday was attended by crowd
estimated to be 1000, far exceeding
the number expected to attend by
Warden Dickerson In the neighbOr-
hood of 500 automobiles we're parked
at the farm, which. with the large
crowd, made the sight an interesting
one.
mutton was barbecued to a queens
taste and was served with beans, bread
coffee buttermilk etc. The tables
we're spread beneath the trees and
If anyone went away hungry 1t was
their own fault.
The pure bred dairy stock attract
ed the admiration of the large crowd
and the condition of the farm in gen
eral reflected no little credit to the
fanltless management of Warden
Dickerson.
Carson Valley was well represented
at the barbecue as was Carson, Reno,
Fallon, Dayton, Virginia City and
other Nevada towns.
The barbecue was also we'll attend
ed by Democratic politicians and a
few of their Republican brethren were
also on the ground with the glad
hand. This does not insinuate that
the barbeuce was political gathering,
but you just cant keep politicians
away from such places.
On the narrow road running into the
prison farm several near auto acci-
dents occurred. At least two ma
chimes tore put fence posts, another
went into ditch to avoid collision,
while bent tenders we're quite num-
erous.

B, COROOvA
D|ESSUDOENLY

Bincent Cordova, we'll known
sheep man of this section, died at his
home In Gardnerville Sunday night
after an illness of but few hours.
and his sudden death was a shock to
his many friends here, many of them
not even knowing that he was Ill.
Only few weeks ago the wife of the
deceased gave birth to twins, one OF
which died a few days after birth.
The mother suffered relapse after
her babe had been taken from her and
for several days it was not believed
that she would recover. Mr.. Cordova
remained at home with his family
and was much concerned over his
wife's illness. Saturday he was taken
down with an attack of pneumonia
and Sunday night the light of life
passed to the Great Beyond. Last
winter Mr. Cordova suffered an at
tack of pneumonia and at that time
was near deaths portal.
Bincent .Cordova was born at
Aspilureta. Spain September 2S, 1876
and was 80 years. 3 months and Is
days of age at the time of his death.
He came to this country some years
ago and engaged in the sheep business.
He was successful and was on the
road to wealth when death ended his
career.
Besides the sorrowing widow, he
leaves several small children and "a
brother TO mourn his untimely death.
The funeral was held from the
family residence Sunday noon, Rev
Father Garland, of the Carson
Catholic Church officiating, and the
services were largely attended by
frieds of the deceased. The interment
took place in Garden cemetery.
This paper extendeds its most sin
cere sympathy to members of the
Cordova family in this their hour OF
great trouble.
