Proclamation

Among the most prolific sources
of economic waste in the United
States is the destruction of pro-
perty by fire and also the loss re-
sulting from injury inflicted upon
our fellow mau in our industrial
institutions through want of care.
The fire loss last year in this coun-
try exceeded one hundred and Sc
venty-two millions of dollars. Sta
tistics compiled by the Fire Mar
shal's Department show that over
three million dollars worth of pro-
perty was destroyed by FIRE during
1915 in this state, an amount near
ly equal to the cost of maintaining
the state government.
This enormous loss is irretrieva-
BILE and is a drain upon our re-
sources and in itself. aside from
the appalling DISASTERS from fire.
involving great loss of life, health.
employment, undue effort and ex-
pense to extinguisb fires and in
sure against them, is entitled to
immediate and serious cOnsldera-
ton.
Study of this vital problem shows
that the great bulk of the fire waste
and its attending evils is the re-
suit of individual carelessness, that
fire, like disease and casualties,
can be greatly reduced by watch
fulness, cleanliness and proper re-
gard for the rights of others, and
that correction of these calamities
lies primarily in education.
Therefore, in order to bring
about better understanding Of
this problem and to awaken ouI
people to a vivid sense of the dan.
gers of fire and of carelessness, J.
r. G. Pleasant, Governor of the
State of Louisiana, do hereby pro-
claim and designate Monday, Oc'o

sary of the great Chicago fire

and chimneys in proper condition
for winter use.

theatres, hotels, and all other public
and private institutions be care

Reading Company
Ask For Receiver

Suit was filed Wednesday at Yer
ington by W. f. Reading and others
against the Reading Mercantile 4
transportation Company a corporation
to dissolve the corporation and dis
tribute its assets. The suit was caus-
ed by threats of the San Francisco
Board of Trade to bring suits unless
the company permitted it to follow
its usual practice and permits to ad-
minister the affairs of the corporation.
The petition filed prayed for the ap-
pointment of a receiver to wind up
the affairs of the defendant corpora
tion and showed that the assets of the
company are nearly three times the a
mount of its liabilities but that unless
the receiver was appointed the threat
ened suits would cause loss to the
stockholders which would be pre-
vented by the appointment. Mack 4

and J. Andrew Cutlery appeared for

To ASK FOR
APPROPRIATION

Although very little has been pub
lished recently relative to the pro-
posed government reclamation scheme
for Carson Valley, the work to that
commendable end is going along
quietly. Within hort time bill
will be introduced in Congress for a
substantial appropriation to carry on
the proposed work and 1t is to be
hoped that Congress will not be too
engrossed with the preparedness
movement to give earnest thought to
those things which so vitality con-
Germ the upbuilding of this country.
At the time that We are preparing to
repulse the attack of an immaginary
foe, we must also be preparing ways
for those of this country to make a
living and at the same tome develop
the great resources, such as enlarging
our agricultural interests through the
aid of storage irrigation. The Carson
Valley project constitutes a very small
part of this great and commendable
undertaking but at the same time II
is one of the cogs in the great wheel
of agricultural progress of these
United States.

NJ. Jepsen to Build
Apartment House

M. Jepsen has started the foundation
on School street for an apartment
house and the building will be COM
pleted when the weather will permit
building operations. The building
will be composed of two apartments
and will embrace al modern conven-
fences.
For the past year or so the demand
for cottages in Gardnerville has far
exceeded the supply and hardly a
week goes by that families do not
make inquiries for homes. Now tina,
the high school is permantely located
here in its new $4,000 building it is
believed that there will be steady in.
crease in the growth of the town.
Besides Mr.. Jepsen, several Others
are considering erecting modern cot
tages as matter of Investment. bu

nounced as to the realization of thei

HEAVY STORM
SWEEP COUNTRY

Sunday night and following the
heavy storms of last week, this section
as well as the entire State, was visit
ed by the heaviest storm of the winter.
The storm was accompanied by very
heavy wind and the snow drifted in
great banks. About foot of the beau
tiful fell in Gardnerville while on the
west side of the Valley, the fall is re-
ported to be between two and three
feet On the Double Springs sum-
nit four feet is reported while at
Markleeville they have five feet on the
level
On making the trip up the west side
of the Valley, the Genoa stage has
required four horses to break through
the heavy snow. On the coleville
route a swing stage is being used 10
meet the regular driver above R0den-
bah's and 1t has been with great dif-
ficulty that the road has been kept
open. Both regular and swing stag

The Markleeville stage is also goipg Z
out of Gardnerville on runners an1
Is able to reach Woodfords. From this
point the mail is carried into Mark
leeville on snowshoes.
The storm was followed by a drop
in temperature and Tuesday morning
thethermometer registered 13h below
zero at this place. Wednesday MORN
ing was IL below and during the
day slight wind caused a modera-
ton.
Over ten feet of snow was on the
ground at Blue Lakes before the last
storm and il is believed that the fall
at that place is now close to 20 feet
The snow has drifted in the canyons
on the western mountains and is
packed solid.
There Is now assurance for an
ample supply of water for irrigation
in Carson Valley for next season for
all lands now under cl.tivailcn, but
il seems a shame that so much water
must run TO waste when IL could be
held back with great reservoirs and
used to irrigate the thousands of acres
yet waiting to be brought under cuiti-
vation in this and Eagle VALLEY.
The storm was general all over the
state and at Reno the street car SER
vice was put out of commission. TIE
Southern Pacific has experienced
great difficulty in keeping the tracks
clear over the Sierras where the
snow fell to a depth of twelve feet
The storm was worth millions OF
dollars to the farmers and stockmen

Women Are Now
Eligible as Jurors

Since January lst the women of
Nevada, who are past Il years OF
age, are eligible as jurors.
This was decided at Tonopah few
days ago at which time the COM
missioners were selecting veniremen
for the year. The county clerk put
the question up to Attorney-General
Thatcher. He ruled that Nevada wo-
men who are of the age are now
qualified as jurors.
In Douglas the venire is drawn for
1916, but since many cases come up
in the justice court, it is not i'm
probable that some of the local female
gender may be called upon to serve
in the jury box during this year.
