SNOW FALL
BELOW NORMAL

As the winter months are fastly
slipping by and spring but short
time away. Is becomes more apparent
each day that unless a heavy fall of
snow occurs in the mountains within
the next few weeks. there will be a
shortage of water for irrigation in
Carson Valley during the coming
season.
From Lake Tahoe comes the report
that the snowfall there this winter
is far below normal and at the present
time but few inches of snow is on
the ground as against several feet
in ordinary years.
However ii has been pointed out
that some of the heaviest snowstorms
of history. fell during the last OF
February and as late as the 18th of
March So there is hopes that a
heavy storm will yet pile up abundant
snow in the mountains. insuring a
sufficient supply of water for the cold
ing season.
Several farmers who have watched
and studied water conditions in Car
son Valley for 80 years, announce
that they are not alarmed because OF
the shortage of snow in the water
sheds. declaring that when water is
short better crops result and point
to the fact that crop failure because
of lack of water. was never known in
Carson Valley and is not likely TO
be this season.
"A fact which will be of consider
able interest to the people of this
section of the state" said Mr.. Alicia
tore of the weather bureau, is the
water stage level of Lake Tahoe.
Ordinarily the lake rises considerably
during the month of January. but this
year 1t fell three-tenths of a foot.
while at first glance this might
seem to be cause for anxiety. a
further comparison will be more re-
assuring. While the water level OF
the lake on January 81 was 6227S.
which is two-tenths of foot below
last years level at the same date,
the most favorable sign at the pres
ent time is that in spite of the phe-
nomenally small snowfall for the
month of January. the lake is about
one and half feet above the normal
level for the month of January

Reports Daylight Saving
Plan a Complete Success

The daylight saving plan has
actually been tried out in Tacoma
by a Tacoma firm and found to
be success.
Ralph ii. Shaffer, president Of
the Rotary club, gave the plan a
thorough test few months ago at
the American Automobile Co., Of
which he is vice president.
The only reason it could not
be established permanently was
that Shaffer was unable to get the
other firms Of the city to do the
same thing.
During the three months it was
in operation, Shaffer kept accu-
rate daily records.
These showed that the plan
worked to the advantage of the
employees; that 1t improved their
work and increased their enthus-
iasm for it; that it diminished the
percentage Of latenesses to work,
and that 1t put more pep" into
the whole concern.
Here is what Shafrer has to say
OF the results OF the plan, for the
benefit of readers Of The Times:

Dissatisfied with her SUR
roundings and respondent
through i'll health, Mrs. Myr-
tie Hall, -, ended her life at
her home in Eatonville Thurs
day morning with revolver,
leaving a husband and four
small children, the Oldest
and the youngest years old.
When the alarm clock awoke
her husband, r. A. Hall, at $50
in the morning, he found his wife
missing. He searched through
all the rooms OF the little home
in vain.
At last he went out into the
yard. and there, lying near the
woodshed, he found his wife near
death, bleeding from the bullet
wound she had inflicted. She died
at 1920, without regaining con-
seriousness.
Bullet Reaches Brain.
While her husband and babies
were asleep, the young mother
in her dependency had taken a
.3S ealiber revolver, had gone far
enough away from the house not
to awaken her children, and there,
alone in her misery, had pointed
the revolver at her mouth adm
pulled the trigger.
The bullet lodged in her brain
just above the left eye.
When the husband home from
work at midnight his young wife
apparently was in good spirits, he
said.
He had been working late re-
pairing a slide on the railway line
and his wife had waited up to put
his supper on the table.
Motive Mystery.
While he was eating, his wife
told him she was sleepy, and re-
tired for the night, first taking a
look at her children to see that
they were all right.
After he had finished his meal,
the husband set the alarm clock
and went to bed. When he was

was gone.
