CARSON CITY, March 26.-Some
interesting figures are to be found
at Secretary of State Brodigan,s Of
flee on the automobiles and motor
cycles owned in this state, and when
the returns are all in, they will show
that there is at least one automobile
in the state to every 81 residents,
counting men, women and children.
Thus far nearly $500 applicants
for state licenses and tags have been
received at his office, which is 500
more than last year 1t is estimated
that at least 800 more are yet to be
heard from, SO that the final figures
will show fully 1000 more machines
registered this year than than in 1915.
The applications have been coming in
at the rate of about 40 day since the
first of the year, counting Sundays.
There is much work entailed in
caring for this business, all ma
chimes being double indexed by num-
bers and by names. so that in a very
few moments, the number of any
car, or the owner, can be obtained
from the files. If states prosper
ity is to be guaged by the number of
its auto vehicles, Nevada is certainly
up in the front ranks.

BUNKERVILLE CHAMPS
DEFEATED BY TOWN TEAM
Visitors Played Fast Game But
Were Unable to Cope With
Local Lads

The Bunkerville high school basket
ball team, who won the state chapion-
ship at Reno few night ago, was de-
feated at the high school auditorium
Saturday night by the Gardnerville
athletic club team by score of 1924.
The visitors played a remarkable fast
game but were unable to cope with
the team work and crack basket
throwing of the Gardnerville players.
Their defeat here does, in now way
lessen the honors they have won as
the high school champions of the state
A large crown was in attendance
at the game and it was the general
opinion that the contest WIS the fast
est and cleanest every played here.

GOVERNOR BOYLE ISSUES
A PROCLAMATION

The subtantial growth of civilized
communities everywhere is made pos
sible only by the development of COM
mercial industries.
The spafrcely settled West, reaching
ont for population, has invited and
must continue to invite, and un-
waveringly foster, industrial develop
ment here. Our manufacturers are
assets not only because they furnish
a ready market for the products OF
our fans and mines, employment for
our people, and taxes for the support
of our own public institutions, but
because they make it possible for us
to keep our own money at home for
repeated reinvestments In our own
enterprises.
As a reminder OF our duty to the
community i'm which we live, l.,
EMMETT d. BOYLE, Governor of
the State of Nevada, by the authority
in me vested. do hereby proclaim
THE WEEK OF APRIL 30, 1916,

zens are urged to assist in the up

as possible. only these products,

HAROLD FRENCH PAYS
VISIT TO THIS VALLEY
Is the Man Who Exposed the
Gughenheims in Great
Mint Scheme

Harold French, who held the pos
ition of Superintendent OF exhibits.
Palace of Mines and Metallurgy, at the
Panama Pacific Exposition. was in
Gardnerville Saturday on his return
from Antlope Valley where he exam
ined some parite prospects for use in
chemical industry for the West Coast
kalsomine Company OF Berkeley, Cal
Mr.. French came into great prom
inence some two years ago and re-
ceived national attention when he
exposed the scheme of the Gughen-
helm interests to close all of the
mints of the United States, save the
one at Philadelphia. He fought the in
terest to the finish and his work
blocked the scheme. Had Congress
acted favorable to the bill for closing
the mints, especially those of the
west, 1t would have been serious
blow to the mining world.
Mr.. French was chief chemist at
the San Francisco mint at the time
and lost his position for his activity
In fighting the colossal scheme.
He is member of the Sierra club
of San Francisco and was much inter-
ested in the Fremont expedition, which
led the explorer through this section.
While in Antelope Valley he was in
formed that Fremont went across the
Sierras through Lost Canyon.
however the diary of Fremont does
not substantiate this belief in fact
the explorer wrote quite plainly on
this point. and clearly stated that his
party was guided from Antelope Val
ley by an Idnian to the low pass,
crossing down to the Carson river
to what is known as Double Springs
Flat. A few years previous to Fre-
mont's trip. party did pass through
Lost Canyon and abandoned several
wagons at that point.
The complete diary of Fremont with
notes by Mr.. Smith. was published in
this paper some months ago.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
AT CARSON CITY
Aged Man His by Motorcycle and
Bandly Hurt.-Rider Also
Painfully Injured

One of the most serious accidents
that has occurred In this city took
place yesterday afternoon, shortly
after u O'Clock and resulted In the
serious injury of \. p. Simmer, a
well known resident and Jess Sher
man. the local matchmaker.
Mr.. Simmer, who is in the employ
of the county, was returning to his
home from the midday meal and rode
on one of the wagons that Is hauling
gravel to points along the road be-
tween this city and Lakeview. When
he arrived at his residence near Car
son street he alighted from the rear
of the wagon and failed to notice
that Mr. Sherman was almost upon
him with his motorcycle, but started
to cross the street. At the time he
dropped from the wagon the motor
cycle was but few feet behind him
and as he did not see 1t and Mr.. Sher-
man not knowing that he was going
to slip from the moving vehicle and
start across the street, the collision
resulted.
Both men were seen to be badly
injured and were at once brought
into town and later Mr.. Simmer was
removed to his home and Mr.. Sher-
man TO the rear of the Golden Jeweliy
Co. store. DR. Donald Maclean was
summoned and it was found that his
left leg was broken below the knee.
The injured member was set and he
was later removed to the home of

Drs. Krebs. Circe and Hassett were
summoned to care for Mr. Simmer
and his ease was soon seen to be
much more serious than that of Sher-
man Both bones in his right leg
are broken, about half way between
the ankle and knee. two ribs broken.

slight concussion of the brain. He
also complained of a pGin over the
stomach and II Is feared that he has
suffered internal injury DIR. Krebs
stated last evening that he was in IA
serious condition and as he is about
so years of age the injuries will go
very hard on him.
The affair is most regrettable
cne. Both men are highly respect

The time of the accident, which oc-
cured at the foot of the Carson street
hill, he was not exceeding the speed
limit. but was riding carefully along
