II Is reported on good authority
that the old Bodie and Benton narrow
eaage railroad has been sold. and

includes all OF the rolling stock, four
locomotives. the roundhouse at Bodie
as well as the machine shops, spur
tracks that run to the Standard mine
at Bodie. and the big saw mill at
Mono Lake.
This was at one time one of the
steepest OF any railroad ever built
where cog road was not in use.
Special powerful engines were con-
structed for their use and but two
cars constituted train.
II is the intention of the purchasers
to commence dismantling the ma
chine shops and the taking up of the
rails into Bodie at once. The same
are beng shipped to point four
miles beyond Mono Mills by their
own power ana tnere iOdueu into
wagons and hauled by tractors to the

STORM DOES
muCHDAMACE

The first of series of thunder
storms visited this section last Satur-
day and have continued daily since
that time The storms happened at
time when great amount OF first
crop of alfalfa IL still In the field and
the damage is reported to be quite
heavy. The storm followed the Sier-
ra Nevada mountains from point
beyond Bridgeport to Reno and
in many places damaged roads to con-
siderable extent. especially In Wood
fords canyon and on the Kingsbury
grade. the latter road being washed
out In several places which will take
week or more to repair, during
which time the road will be closed to
auto travel.
The lightning killed two horses on
the ID rcssler ranch, did small dam
age to the Bruins electric plant and
put the telephone lines on the west
side of the Valley out of commission
by burning out the fuses.
Many auto parties who spent Sun
day in the mountains, return
drenched by the storm, and with fish
bags empty.

Or,nsby Has a
Real Drag

Ormsby is the only county In the
state which receives back from the
state more money for. school pur-
poses than it pays into the state
treasury for all purposes. The state
report for 1916 shows
that Ormsby county paid to the
state in taxes $7,6O2.29 and received
from the state $9,O21.3O. Thos condi-
tion is caused by the arrangement
whereby the state pays a portion of
the school expenses In return for the
education OF the children who are in
mates Of the orphans home In Car
son. an arrangement that is bene-
fical to the state and the county.
Ii comparison were made be-
tween the money paid by the state
by the county and the money ex-
pended in Ormsby county by the state
for the states prison, orphans home
and official salaries and other expen-
ses it would be found that the county
receives. in a way of local expendi-
lures, over $50 for each dollar 1t con-
tributes to the states support.
The state expends In Ormsby
county nearly $3.50 year for each
inhabitant of the county-Appeal.

GARDNERv|LLE
HOME ROBBED

Last Thursday while Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Springineyer were absent
from their Gardnerville home, a
burglar gained entrance by cutting a
screen on rear window, and stole
a small bank, the poperty of Mr.. and
Mrs. Springmeyer's son, which con-
tanned some $1,000, together with a
watch and other jewelry. The theft
was not discovered until late Thurs
day afternoon when the Springmeyers
returned home after spending the day
at their Long Valley ranch. The Of
ficers were Immediately notified but
no trace of the robber was found un-
til Friday, when the sheriff learned
that a man had changed several dol
lars worth of dimes and nickels at
Minden. The man was traced to Car
son but all clue was lost In that city
and he has not been apprehended.
In cutting the screen the robber
injured his hand as was evidenced by
bloody finger prints on the bureau
and other furniture that he ransack-
ed. A large diamond ring and other
expensive jewelry belonging to Mrs.
Springmeyer, was overlooked by the
burglar.

MAY TAKE
PLACE IN DAY
Or So

Every day brings different different
dates as. to when the number sin the
selective draft will be announced and
nary of our young men are being
held on the anxious seat Especial
ly does this seem true of the young
married men, whose household is not
YET blessed with child. The gener-
al opinion is that men who have a
wife and child, will have little or 10
trouble being exempted. but those
with only wife, may not find excpm-
tion SO easy. The young men them
selves are not half SO anxious. how
ever, as their wives and anyone who
sees joke in present conditions. have
another guess coming. The draft
is most serious thing, and one that
cannot be passed of lightly. How
ever. 1t must be faced bravcly by all.

yada wool growers this year was 80

ceived from Bridgeport. The Tioga
pass is the highest road in the Unite
ed States, being some $4,000 feet
above tho level OF the sea. and Is
closed to travel nine months Of the
year owing to It's great altitude and
the heavy snow th.t falls in that
section.
Last summer was the first season
that the road has been open to auto
travel, made SO through the purchase
of the government A large sum Of
money was expended in putting the
road In condition for travel. II Is
said to be one of the most scenic
auto routes in the west and last year
was travelled by thousands OF auto
parties.
During the past several weeks
numerous auto tourists have passed
through Gardnerville for Yosemite
Valley over the Tioga Pass. only to
find that the road was closed and
were forced to trun back.
Now that the road is open It will
be but a short time until steady
stream of auto tourists from all parts
OF the coast will be making the trip
over this famous mountain road
