Citizens Raising
Funds or
Auto Truck

petition is being circulated this
week for the pupoee of raising funds
for the purchase OF an auto truck to
be used by the county in road con-
strnction and hauling fuel and sup
Plies to the tractor. Each member of
the board of County commissioners
headed the list with liberal donation
and their example Is being followed
by public spirited citizens.
The purchase of the caterpillar
tractor, plows and road grader by the
commissioners called for a large ex-
penditure and there Is not sufficient
cash in the road fund to purchase the
needed truck, without taking money
that will be needed to carry on the
good roads program outlined by the
commissioners. As an evidence of
hearty cooperation and approval of
good reads, several citizens suggested
that voluntary subscription be start
ed for raising funds for the purchase
OF the truck, and frcm the liberal man.
ner in which the petition is being
signed, ii Is evident the good roads
movement in Douglas county has the
hearty support Of all.

dinner was served, after which the
young couple left on the evening train
for California, where they will spend

ture on the same topic ct the high
school auditorium. The lecture will
begin at Sis p. M. The tickets will
be sold at 10 cents end % cents apiece.
The receipts will ilow into the jubilee
fund of the Lutheran church at large
The money will be used to make loans
without interest to poor congregations
for church building purposes. Such
congregations will then pay back in
small instailments the money received
thus this money can work everlast-

motion.
Everyone is encouraged to attend
this lecture whether a Lutheran or

yourselves inasmuch as you are ad-
ding to your education and you will
confer favor upon some of your fell
low men. The insignificant amount
of money which you are spending will
serve a splendid purpose.
You may obtain tickets by applying
to members of the Lutheran Sunday
school, to Todd's drug store or to Rev.

FOREST RANGES
BEING HEAVILY
STOCKED

Owing to the unusual conditions in
the country at the present time, the
forest service is planning to have as
many stock as possible put on the
forest ranges. BY SO doing. it is
thought that the meat supply of the
United States will be increased and
the ranches relieved so that the hay
crop will be larger than would other
wise be the case What the Mono Ma
tional forest Ia doing along this line
will be indicated by the following fig
ures:
During the season of 1916, 1884
head of sheep were grazed under per-
init and 1863 head of cattle and hors-
es. For the season of 1917, the Mono
has been authorized to Craze 10000
head of sheep and 5000 head of cat
tie and horses.
II is planned to Craze the ranges
this year for all they are worth, even
to the point of overstocking in some
cases. The applications are all be-
ing gone over for the second time and
now some which formerly had been
disapproved are being approved when
ever ii is possible to find room to
crowd them on the Forest.

Lack of Interest
In Lake Road

Although 1t was generally believed
that at least 10 men would give their
services for the opening of the road
to Lake Tahoe last Sun day, but 4 men
showed up on the job. Undaunted by
the lack of interest in such COM
mendable undertaking., the 4 men
without other assistance, sanded the
snow from the old saw-mill to the
summit and froY that point towards
the lake for distance of mile and
one-half. Many water breaks were
put in to keep the road bed from be-
ing washed away, besides removing
a big tree which had fallen across the
road.
An average of foot and a half of
snow remains on the road, while in
many instances drifts to the extent of
! or feet are to be found. Had the
snow been sanded two weeks ago. the
kingsbury route to Lake Tahoe would
now have been open to auto travel.
There Is some talk of a crew of men
going up Sunday and giving the snow
a second sanding, which, If done,
would hasten the opening of the road.
