SCOTT CAR FROM SACRAMENTO
Is SNOW.BOUND IN NEVADA

A message was received Tuesday
from Sodaville. stating that the ma
tional defense military scout car
which left Sacramento on Thursday
January / was now-bound at Soda
vile summit and would not arrive
in Carson City before Saturday.
The car left Tonopah on Tuesday
morning for Carson City carrying
credentials from Congressman Raker
and message from Governor John
son of California to Governor Boyle
of Nevada.
II. T. Knhlmann and Al G. Wad-
dell who are making the trip have
encountered unusual diciculties. In
Boy canyon. for instance, the snow
was ten feet deep and they were six
hours making 800 yards.
The purpose of the trip of the two
men over the Sierras in the middle
of winter is to call the attention of
the national government to the nee
essity of an all-year civil commercial
and military highway about 500 miles
in length.

Indian child
Near Death:
Mother Drunk

Sunday evening a squaw imbided
too freely OF booze and took possession
of rig belonging to another of her
tribe and spent several hurs driving
about town and having a hilarious
time. She finally wound up in front
of a Chinese dive and her cries at
tracted the attention of passers-by.
They acertained that the squaw, in
her journey about town, had lost her
baby out of the rig. A search was
made and the infant was found near
the high school building, where it had
probably laid for several hourse and
when found was nearly dead from ex-
posure. The mother and babe were
taken to the Jail but when the officers
found the serious condition of the
child. the squaw was given her liberty
that she might seek medical aid for
the little sufferer. Justice Krummes
ordered the squaw to appear In court
Wednesday for sentence.

Butter Jumps
to 42 Gents
Per Pound

Tuesday butter jumped to 42h
cents per pound. the highest price
reached since the Minden creamery
has been In existence. One year ago
at this time butter was selling at 2S
cents per pound. 1t is predicted that
butter Will remain at top figure for
many months to come but it is not
probably that the record price of
42la cents will prevail for any great
time. At least those who use 1t have
hopes of a sharp decline within the
near future. but the dairymen of this
Valley are simply delighted over the
good prices demanded for butter.

May Build
Water System

There has been some talk here for
the past month of building a pipe
line from the Douglas Milling &
Power conipany's dam on the Carson
river to Gardnerville, the cost of con-
struction to be met by bod issue of
the town. The Gardnerville fire de-
partment has appointed committee
to investigate the proposition and
report demanded at the next meeting
of the company.
J. n. Anderson of the Douglas Mill
ing 4 Power company stated to this
paper yesterday that his company
would give the town the opportunity
to build the pipe line. but in the event
that immediate action was not taken,
his company would take hold OF the
proposition and build the line with
private capital.
The question is one of the most I'M
portant that has come before the peo-
pie of Gardnerville for decision In
good while. 1t is a question for the
tax payers to decide. Do they want
the pipe line owned by private indi-
viduals, who will reap the rewards
and profits or do they want the town
to receive the revenues for years to
come. AS stated by Mr.. Anderson.
immediate action must be taken, be-
cause in the event Of the town failing
to build the line, his company will,
work on which will be started within
three or four months.

nized in Carson Valley In 1915 and al
loved to die for want of interest, Is
To be revived. and already many
dairgmca have signed up and 1t Is
hoped that every farmer who owns a
string OF COWS will see tie importance
OF the association.
The butter manufactured at the
Milden creamery. holds first place on
the Nevada and California market.
During the winter months about
s.uo0 pounds of butter Is manufactur-
ID every day while during the summer
the daily output runs up to $500 and
Loo pounds. Through dairy i'm
9royement the same number of cows
would double this output and like
wise double the profits of the farm
ers who are In the business.

To Buy Land
For Indians

Lorenzo ID. Creel, connected with
the Indian department of the United
States government, is in Carson en-
deavoring to secure a tract of land
somewhere near the city to be used
for the purpose of providing homes
for the Washoe Indians, says the APP
peal.
Mr. Creel desires quite large tract
of land. of which at least forty acres
must be provided with water for ir-
rigation and domestic purposes. The
government has made an appropria-
ton of $4,000 for these Indians with
which to build small homes for them
to live in and permanent place of
adobe. At same time it is necessary
that these homes should be within
convenient distance of the city, to
enable the Indians to work in town at
various kinds Of employment
II is also the idea of the govern
ment to have them raise garden
products for their own use and sale
The buildings will be erected under
the supervision of government Of
ficial, who will also look after the
interests of the Indians when they
have settled upon the land

MAsQUE BALL
GREAT SUCCESS

The masquerade dance held here
Saturday night under the auspices of
the Society Dania, was one of the
most successful dance held in Carson
Valley in recent years. Over ninety
tickets we're sold and the hall was
taxed to it's utmost capacity to ac-
commodate the dancers and specta-
tors. The maskers entered the main
hall over the stage where colored spot
lights played on them, making a most
picturesque scene. The costumes
ranged from court ladies of colonial
times, to natives of the South Sea
islands and back again to kings
herald and to the Charlie Chapins of
the present day. Cowboys of the
western plains stepped the foxtrot
with Turkish dancing girls. while
Spanish bull fighters gracefully dane
ed the one-step with Hulda from
Holland Mexican outlaws claimed as
their partners beautiful girls potray-
ing American liberty and draped in
silk costumes made from the stars
and stripes.
There was no roughness, and the
dance went off as smoothly as. could
be wished for. The maskers were all
In for good time and enjoyed them
selves to their hearts content At IL
o'clock orders came to remove masks
at which time the judges annouced
the winners which were as follows:
Mrs. viii Ritchford as a colonial
lady won the prize as the best dress
ed lady and was awarded a handsome
piece of cut glass. Mrs. Arthur Nell
son won the second prize, pair of
kid gloves. Mrs. Leo Springmeyer
was awarded the prize aS the best
ed with beautiful picture b. Sell
kirk as Rip Van Winkel, won the
prize as the best sustained character,
receiving gold stick-pin. Edwin
Miller won the second prize, pair
of kid gloves, and went as "Cr cam of
Wheat. Ross l.. Johnson. as a
Scotchman won the prize as the best
dressed gentleman and was presented
with fountain pen.
A delicious midnight supper was
served at Odd Fellows dining hall by
the wives and daughters of the men,
bers of the Danish Society. Although
with seating capacity of lis the din
ing room was twice filled.
The Baker sorchestra was at it
best and received many warm compli-
ments from the dancers for the
splendid music. Although it was
planned to end the dance at three o.
clock. the dancers would not stand
for it, and the orchestra was engaged
for two extra hours, it being after 5
a. m. when the dance finally broke up.

FIRE COMPANY
ELECT OFFICERS

The members of the Gardnerviile
Fire Department held an annual
election of officers Monday night re-
sulting in the following being chosen
to serve for the ensuing year:
c. NJ. krummes, President; II. e.
Dangberg. Vice President; e. G.
Howard, Secretary; L. Nelson. Treas
urer: Earl Christensen, chief; i.
Selkirk, assistant chief; J. G. Larson.
second assistant chief; NJ. krummes,
foreman engine; VIM. Helm. assistant
foreman; p. X. Rahbeck. foreman
hose department.
The department allowed claim of
$40 towards the installation of a
street light on School street, the resi-
dents of that neighborhood paying the
balance Of the expense. The sum Of
$50 was also allowed towards the
street light at the high school.
A resolution was adopted urging
the county commissioners To pass "a
resolution prohibiting Indians from
remaining within the city limits after
sundown or dark. This is deemed
necessary since the Indians hang
around Chinese dives all hours of the
night. idications being that they are
supplied with booze by someone in
said dives.
A committee of two was appointed
to circulate a petition asking the
county commissioners to levy spec
ial tax of 80 cents on each 500 worth
of taxable property within the limits
of Gardnerville, to be used for fire
protection and town improvements.
The matter of providing adequate
fire protection was taken up and dis
cussed at some length The dis
cussion resulted in committe OF
three being appointed to gather data
on two different propositions OF fire
protection and submit the same at
the next regular meeting. The first
proposition Is to communicate with
the insurance underwriters and AS
certain what reductions in insurance
rates may be expected in the event
the town purchases IS horse power
motor fire truck equipped with a
chemical tank, and a pump capable OF
throwing 300 gallons of water a
minute
The other proposition calls for
data relative to the cost of building
a pipe line from the Douglas Milling
& Power company's dam, 6 miles
above Gardnerville and what saving
would be effected in insurance rates.
The committee is also at work get
ting data on the total amount of in
surance premiums paid by the prop
erty holders of Gardnervile for the
purpose of ascertaining the exact
amount that will be saved in prem
iums besides the protection offered by
either of the above propositions
The proposition of purchasing a
fire siren to take the place of the
present fire bell, was taken up and
il seems quite probable that an alarm
of this kind will be installed within
a short time.
