First Auto
Accident
Occurs

Saturday evening what came near
being a serious accident occurred near
the high school building wien an
automobile drived by VIM. Nelson, hit
Fred Dressler and inflicted painful
bruises Fred Dreseler in company
with Ed. l.ampe was crossing the
street to his own automobile. They
saw the lights of the approaching ma
chine but in some manner did not
Judge correctly with the result as
above stated. The fender of the car
hit Mr. Dressler, knocking him down
and dazed him. After the accident
he ran into the high school building
and collapsed. He was taken to the
Carson Valley hospital where it was
found that his hand was badly cut,
close the wound. The younng man
was otherwise bruised about the body
but not of serious nature and he was
able to resume his studies at the high
school during the week.
Mr.. Nelson was on his way to Car
son and was accompanied by a party
of friends. He saw the boys crossing
the street ahead of the machine and
had no idea that he would strike
one of them. He applied his brakes
as soon as he realized that the acct
dent was to occur and rendered every
assistance possible to the injured lad.
Mr.. Nelson and those with him say
he was not driving fast and the ac-
cident was one that can hardly be ex-
planned. Mr.. Nelson deeply regrets
the fact that the accident occurred
and would have given anything 70
have avoided 1t.
On complaint of the sheriff Mr.
Nelson appeared in the Justice Court
Tuesday and was fined SO for fast
driving.
1t is indeed fortunate that the ac-
cident did not prove fatal, and should
be warning to both auto drivers and
pedestrians Many people cross the
streets in front of machines and
make little or no effort to get out of
the way, while it is also fact that
many auto owners drive at speed
beyond quick control. The time TO
check speeding is before a fatal acct
dent occurs, and again We repeat,
pedestrians should use more caution
in passing in front of machines, in
other words safety first"

May Start
Work on
New Road

Grant Merrill of Woodfords in COM
pany with II. II. Blee, OF the Cali
fornia highway department. were in
Gardnerville Tuesday after an extend
ed investigation of road conditions in
Mono and Alpine counties.
1t is understood that Mr.. Blee will
recommend to the California highway
department the abandonment of the
Silver Mountain road and the con-
struction of the proposed highway
from Markleeville to Little Antelope
Valley, the connecting link of the
Tahoe Tioga road. 1t is also stated
that work on this proposed road will
permit and will probably be finished
during the coming summer or fall.
AS it is, California tourists making
the trip over the Tioga road, must
traverse Nevada roads from Alkaii
Lake to Fredericksburg. If the Alpine
route is taken, and while the road is
some longer that the proposed cut
off, it is kept in fair condition.
The Nevada road from Alkali Lake
to Gardnerville is to be greatly i'm
proved by Douglas county during
this spring, work on which will start
soon after April LIST at which time a
large Holt caterpillar tractor and
Austin grader will be used to turn
pike this piece of road. The COM
missioners of this county have also
expressed themselves in being in
favor of improving the Kingbury
grade and with this work carried TO
completion, Douglas county, and par
ticularly Minden and Gardnerville
will use every legitimate effort to di-
vert tourist travel over this route.
At any rate there will be two routes
for the tourists to select from and it
is believed that both will be equally
popular.

SHEEP SHEARING HAS COM.
MENCED IN HUMBOLDT co.

Sheep shearing in Humboldt coun-
ty began last week on the ranch at
Rye Patch, by John G. Taylor.
The Thomas Nelson company, at
Valmy, will commence on the 25th,
and the w. T. Jenkins company at
Battle Mountain on the 2Sth. 1t is
probable that by the first of April
the work will be in full swing in all
parts of the county.
The wool this season is said to be
above the average and is command
ing record prices. 1t is estimated
that about so per cent of the clip has
already been sold. Several weeks
ago at the beginning of the contract
ing, several sales were made at %
and 2S cents, and the price has been
steadily until today the market is
strong, with "a cents offered and but
little being sold at that price.--Love-

retary of the treasury which reads:
You have been appointed Director

be notified later as to the time and

ment to Mr.. Douglass as we'll as to

appendicitis was necessary. The
appendix had rpptured before the

poison, that little hope was held from
the first for her recovery. Wednes-
day she began to sink rapidly and
early yesterday morning her parents
were called to Reno to be at her bed
side.
Deceased was born in Germany on
May 5th. 1898, thus being eighteen
year of age. She had resided in this
Valley for the past number of years,
