OCOMPLETE
WORK ON DAM

Engineer Tillingast was here from
Fallon Saturday. and while here was
engaged by Anderson & Sarman of
the Douglas Milling & Power COM
pany to right the faulty construction
at the power dam. Mr.. Tillingast is
expected to take charge of the work
in the near future.
The power dam sets on bedrock
several feet below the bed of the
river. However, after the dam was
completed 1t was found that a small
portion OF what was believed to be
solid bedrock, proved to be rotten"
allowing water to rush beneath the
concrete work in one particular place.
Engineer Tillingast made sur
very of the dam some weeks ago and
pronounces 1t safe. AS soon as he
closes the outlet, which will take but
a short time, the new power plant will
be put in operation.

Douglas County Boys
Leaue Tonight

When the train leaves Minden this
evening six of Carson Valleys young
men will leave for American Lake
to become soldiers Of the United
States. Two weeks ago when the
first quota of two men left, large
crowd was present at the depot to
bid the boys fond farewell. To-
night vast crowd will be at the de-
pot to see the boys entrain, especially
since a number of them not only
have wide family connection in the
Valley but because they have held
important positions in the business
life of the community as well as
socially. The boys will carry with
them the kindest wishes OF their
many friends.
While the membership of the band
has been hard hit by enlistments and
draft. the remainder of the boys will
be on hand to lend their aid to the oc-
casion of the departure of the boys.

Fuel Shortage
Looks Serious

The state railroad commission and
Gov. Boyle are making survey of the
fuel siuta tion in Nevada, and in the
meantime they have sent a circular
letter to all coal dealers in Nevada
urging them to request the coal pro-
dncing companies to make shipments
to this state in any cars that may be
available, whether gondola cars, box
cars or live stock cars. The situation
is declared to be serious by the rail-
road commission, owing to the unpre-
cederted demands made upon the
coal producing companies the short
age OF cars and the scarcity of labor
for production.
cavass of Reno today showed the
local supply of coal to eb almost ex
hausted and a scarcity of wood fuel.
Only a few carloads of coal have
reached Reno within the last thirty
days and all the dealers have orders
hooked far ahead. Owing to the scare
III vi ldDOi Ill tut luluOci SdilDs nouC
of the wood companies are able to
supply their normal production with
the result that temporary supplies
only are being filled for consumers.
In every instance the mines supply
ing this market claim they are unable
to make shipments on account of
their inability to obtain cars from the
railroad companies and while few
of the coal companies hold out en-
ments of limited amount esveral COM
panies In Utah and Wyoming have
advised local dealers that they are
unable to state when shipments can
be gotten through to Nevada.
In Gardneryille the situation is as
serious as at Reno or other Nevada
towns. Dealers have been given 70
assurance that orders would be filled.
Very little wood has been cut in this
section during the past year and un-
less relief is secured. conditions will
be bad this winter
According to official advice from
Carson City Gov. Boyle will name a
state fuel commissioner as soon as
the states survey of the situation Is
completed and send him to Utah and
Wyoming to interview the mine cper-
aters and also have him take NJ the
matter of supply of cars with the
railroad companies. II this cimmis
sion I'm unable to obtain speedy re
lief for the state the matter will be
taken up with the government

LIKES LIFE
IN ARMY

The following letter was yesterday
member of company E., 18th Infantry
now training at the San francisco
Preside. Although it was not in
tended by the writer for publication,
it contains so much information that
it will be of much interest to the
young mans many friends here:
Friend Selkirk: l received a Record
Courier from you today and sure
your kindness ard thought
fullness in remembering me- look
for the little paper as l do letter
from home, and no doubt the other
boys feel likewise.
Life in the army in fascinating as
can be and George Dangberg and /
are surely enjoying it. We have
been to Fort Barry, just across the
bay, for a week and returned to the
Preside Saturday. We were to the
range there for target practice. Geo

score for recruits. | made the
highest in our company. One day on
the 300 yard range. rapid fire. | got
As out of possible so. and los out
of possible $50 on the 200, 100 and
500 yard range at rapid fra. You
have 60, 20 and so seconds to lire ten
shots. This is not off-hand shooting,
but is prone Giving down or in a sit
ting position.
They are whipping us into shape
as fast as possible and I believe 1t
will not be long before we leave for
somewhere" in France Nine of our
have already left. We have
only 10 recruits. all the rest are
seasoned soldiers, having saw service
in the Philippines or Mexico When
drilling with bunch of old-timers 1t
does not take long to catch on.
We are going on parade this after
noon and that's what they all like it
is the only chance we have to "show

Fred Way was here today and this
evening George and l are going out
with him.
Give my best regards to all the
boys.
Respectfully,
