Nine Mile Ditch Being

being put through in western Ne
yada at the present time in farming
way, is big ditch niae miles long
now under construction in Smith VAL
ley by the Plymonnth company of
which Chas. Lewis, Richard kirman
and w. r. Dressler are the owners.
When completed the ditch will be
fourteen feet wide on the bottom and
so substantially built that wash -outs
will be unknown. At present about
% men, 10 head of horses and a big
Holt caterpillar tractor are at work
on the job For mile or more this
side of Wellington, the ditch follows
along on the hillside from the Walker
river. little lower that the famous
Wymoure ditch. The failure of this
ditch caused by repeated washouts,
was Lesson TO ditch builders in that
locality. and to guard against such
trouble, the Plymouth company is
building wide levy below their
ditch that will withstand all pressure
of water and make washouts prac-
tically impossible.
The caterpillar tractor. driven by
Dave Park, formerly of this Valley, Is
pulling ten disc plows through hard,
rocky soil. Also hooked to this out
iii is a heavy plow, such as was at
one time used in this county for
breaking up roads. This pillow is used
to tear out a deep furrow next to the
bank for the wheel of the disc plow
on its next round. The huge engine

the side of a steep bank and crawl
down again without slowing its. pace,
and all the time pulling an outfit

ten animal team follows mp with a
grader and moves the dirt to the
outside. Mr.. Lewis who has charge
of the work points out that In many
cases where bitches of this nature are
made, a levy is Immediately stared
thus making 1t necessary TO move all
the dirt uphill. He has not started
a levy and will not until the proper
grade is obtained. thus he is moving
the dirt down-hilf, which seems the
practically thing to do. For distance
of mile, teams and men are at work
of the canal, and gives the idea of a
railroad grading outfit more than
any thing else.
The ditch will not be entirely COM
pleted for this years crops, but will
be made large enough for present de-
mands. Next fall the work will be
completed and widened out TO IA
feet.
The ranch of the Plymouth COM
pany is one of the most modern in this
part of the state, although improve
ments have been under way only for
a few years. Mr.. Lewis Is devoting
his entire time and attention to the
work and promises to develop the
vast holdings OF himself and associ-
ates into ranch of wonderful re-
sourses.
The Plymouth company have set
an example of modern farming meth
ods in Smith Valley and are being
followed by other of that section with
the result that our neighboring Val
ley is up and coming and in some
respects are in advance of other
farming communities In Western Ne

up soil and which was viewed at
work by the commissioners.
After seeing the machine crawl
uphill and over almost unbelievable
places, the commissioners came to
conclusion that the new engine would
do good work on the Kingsbury grade
and will undoubtedly be given try
out.
No definite route to Wellington has
been officially selected by the COM
misisoners, but will undoubtedly fol-
low as near as practical the present
road, with the exception of the lower
end. 1t has been given out that the
old Wymoure ditch Is to be remaired
by the new owners of the Jew ranch,
in which event the Walker river
canyon will have to be abandoned as
a roadway. 1t is stated that the road
known as the Jack Wright cutoff or
even through the telephone canyon
will be preferable. However. this is
to be decided on at a later date.
Douglas county has set of COM
missioners who believe in good roads
and also believe in modern methods
of construction. They will spend no
more money on the roads than has
been the custom In years past, but
through the purchase of road ma
chinery intend to build permanent
graded roads, the best that can be
CONSTRUCTED with material at hand.
1t is now up to the good people of
Douglas county to give this board
their hearty cooperation and assist in
this commendable work in every pos
sible way.

Tuesday afternoon County Com
Fulstone, Hansen and
Dangberg, accompanied by County
Clerk Jepsen and representative OF
this paper made trip over the road
between Gardnerville and Wellington,
the commissioners doing so to get an
idea of the work necessary to put the
highway in good repair. This stretch
of road is to be part of the state high
way, designated as such by enactment
of the recent legislature. The work
to be done by the county, is therefore
to be approved by the state officials.
Or in other words, the cooperation oI
the state officials is to obtained in
mapping out the changes so there will
be no hitch about it being accepted as
a state highway.
Leaving Rodenbah's station, the
new piece of road built some years
ago, is to be leyeled up and made fl
for travel. Around the grade the
road is to be widened and ditch put
on the inside to keep the water from
running on the road. Across the
fats new roads will be graded up
the present road being used as q
drain ditch. In this work the cater
pillar engine and road machinery vii
be used to splendid advantage. A
great deal of this work will be done
Immediately, the ground still being
quite soft from last winters storms
This work is to be started as soon as
the Carson road put in shape. which
will be a comparatively short job for
the tractor, judging the way the one

Why You Should
Never Pare a Corn

II you are troubled with corns or cal
luses, do not run the risk of blood poi
son by pairing them. Statistics show
that many deaths have occurred from
this seemingly innocent practice OF
pairing corns.
Simply go to your druggist and get
few cents worth of Ice-Mint, rub a
little on any painful corn or callus. I'm
mediately the pain will disappear and
in short time the corn or callus will
loosen and life off easily with the fin
gers-root and all-leaving the sur
rounding skin in healthy normal con-
dition.
This, together with the fact that Ice
Mint overcomes such affections as
sore. tried, aching, puffed or burning
feet and makes them cool. easy and
comfortable, Is probably responsible
for the hearty endorsement given 1t by
druggists
To rid ones feet OF every hard corn,
soft corn, corn between the toes or
painful calluses in such a pleasant and
safe way. makes 1t seem the heighth
of folly for anyone to pare a corn, and
people are warned to stop it. ADV.

CENTRAL LEAGUE

EVANSVILLE. Ind. Sept. 4.-The
Quakers finished the season here Mon
day. And the Evas finished the Quak'
ers. 8 to / and to 5, in double bill.
With a pitched up team to place
against the Evatown contingent. Man
ager Gilbert had little chance to ex'
pect any startling results from his
men, but at that. the second game
would have been a victory had 1t not
been for Gilbert's error on first base
in the last round of the contest.
Fast playing featured both games
and the entire afternoons program
was pulled off in two hours and twelve
minutes, a record for the Central
league. The first game lasted just 81
minutes and the second game, although
only seven innings long, went for sew.
enty minutes before that one big rally
gave the Evas victory.
Two Out Of Game.
Goldie Rapp and Harry Donica we're
out of the game Monday. Rapp was
on the sick list and Donica was playing
In Muncie, where he has signed to play
amateur ball for the rest OF the season.
Cy Young, the Quaker utility man was
shifted to third base, and Kelley went
to shortstop Lafayette returned to
the garden and Gilbert stood on the
first corner.
This combination looked much weak
er than the strong infield that had
been developed by Lafayette, Kelley
and Rapp and two errors on the inf1eld
gave the Evas a chance to win the
last contest.
Joe Evers pulled out with his stolen
base record In the final game OF the
season when he stole his fifty-eighth
base off Boelzle In the second contest.
Joe has been hanging on with 81 bases
for about a week and the seal OF Mon
days game just put him over the
fence to the record.
