RAB|O COYOTES
IN P|NENUT HILLS

Rabid coyotes have at last made
their appearance in Douglas county,
a condition that has been feared for
the past year. Very recently a dog
belonging to A. Settelmeyer, was de-
tected acting queer and was locked
In a shed. Within a day or two, the
animal went mad, and the suspicion
is that It was bitten by a rabid coyote
The dog was killed buA the head was
not sent to Reno for examination.
Very recently the sheep dogs belong
ing to John Uhalde were attacked by
mad coyote and were severely Bit
ten. To prevent the spread of the di.
sease, the dogs we're immediatel,
killed.
Too great care cannot be exerted
In watching the rabid coyote problem
in this county. Especially from the
fact that hundreds of Indian dogs
are brought into contact with condi-
tions favorable to the spread of rabies
togeter with the fact that the dog
problem is already one of menance to
the community, strict attention must
be exerted to prevent serious outcome

High Cost Of
Living IS No.
Longer Joke

The people of Carson Valley have
not taken the high cost OF living In
a very serious mood until very recent
ly. When Hour jumped from $1.3O to
$3.50 per so pound sack within few
weeks, potatoes from $1.25 to $3.50
per sack, eggs from 80 cents to so
cents per dozen; groceries steadily
climbing, shoe advancing from 35 to
10 cents per pair, the people have
just cause to realize that one dollar
has not the buying power that 1t had
several months ago. And from all
accounts the end is no where in sight
All commodities are destined to lar
greater advance before spring and
while the farmer is receiving top
prices for his products, the working
man with a family to support is fac
Ing serious problem, unless wages
are increased accordingly to the high
cost of living.
II is true that there will be less
suffering in Carson Valley from the
high cost of living than In any other
section of the land. However, we are
given a chance to understand condi-
tions as they exist in large cities.
All over the United States retail
dealers are urging fn embargo on
food stuffs that are being sent out OF
this country to warning nations, to the
detriment and injury OF our own peo-
pie. A few big dealers are making
enormous profits In depicting this
country of food stuffs and the time
seems ripe to place an embargo. in the
form of hig tariff on all food stuffs
exported from this country.

Fire Alarm
StdrfleS Town

Saturday evening shortly after five
o'clock, an alarm of fire was sent in
from Henry HellwinkePs farm, three
miles from town. Within a short time
the fire engine was on it's way, being
hitched on back of an automobile.
However, the fire was extinguished
before the equipment reached the
ranch. The chimney burned out and
for while made things dangerous
because of throwing sparks on hay
stacks and nearby buildings. The
wind was blowing stiff gale at the
time. doubling the possibility of
bad fire. 1t is considered fortunate
that no damage resulted.

GdrdnerViILe
May Purchase
Fire Truck

Hiram M. Faust manager OF the
American-La France Fire Engine
Company, was here from San Fran
cisco Saturday and met with menl-
bers of the Gardnerville fire depart
ment relativeto the purchase of d
motor driven fire engine end truck.
The equipment that is particularly
adapted to Gardnerville's require
ments consists of truck carrying
a pump that will deliver from 800 to
800 gallons of water minute. Also
a large chemical tank and about 900
feet of hose. The cost of the equip
ment is in the neighborhood of $1,000.
The fire department, together with
many of the property holders of Gard
nerville look with favor upon the pur-
chase of the new equipment and be-
fore long action will be taken upon
the question.
The present equipment or the sup
ply of town water furnished through
hydrants about town, are not recog-
rpized by the underwriters of insur-
ance companies, when II comes to in
surance rates. With the installation
OF the proposed equipment, together
with ample water facilities for fur
nishing the pumps. the insurance
companies would make a reduction in
the present rates, which by the way,
are equal to interest rates. In this
one. a saving would be made to the
property owners of town that would
soon go a long way toward paying
for the equipment. The fire depart
ment will soon have on hand enough
money to pay third down on the
new equipment, and the company will
grant three years for the payment of
the balance.
Before any steps are taken towards
the purchase of this engine, 1t Is
probable that the farmers living with
in a reasonable distance of Gardner

fire truck by paying a small amount
equal or thereabouts to the taxation

Vile property holders for the pur-
chase of the equipment The truck
having speed of so miles per hour.
will be able to reach any farm with
In fiery few minutes and will be able
to do effective work. The only rea-
sin that this plan has been suggested,
is to give protection to farm homes,
and not because the extra taxation is
required for the purchase of the en-
engine. In other words, all who may
expect protection from such a modern
equipment, are expected to pay for il,
one with another.

AUTO AGENTS
GO TO FACTORY

Henry d. Bruins will leave tomor-
row for Reno where he will join the
Overland dealers of the Pacific coast
on trip to the Overland factories.
The Overland people have made
every arrangement for the comfort
and pleasure of their guests. A spec

cisco about December 1, with dining
car, sleepers, buffet and observation
car The party will go direct to
Toledo, Ohio, where the agents will
be shown all about making Overland
cars in the mammoth factory at that
place. Incidentally. the Overland
Automobile company states that they
will shortly make an announcement
that will startie the automobile
world" Just what this announce
ment is to be has not been stated, but
no doubt it will be highly interesting
to future purchasers of cars.
After visiting the factory, the
party will spend day in Chicago On
the return, as well as visit other
places. The excursion will, retufD to
the coast about the 18th.
