Engineers Select New
Site For Big Dam

While 1t has been generally believ-
ed In this locality from some months
past, that the Long Valley reservoir
site had been definitely decided upon
by the Reclamation Service for the
proposed Carson Valley irrigation
project, 1t appears this week that the
site has been abandoned for q new
location on the East Fork of the Car
son river, mile or SO above the dam
of the Douglas Milling & Power COM
pany, and taking in the Horseshoe
Bend region. A diamond drill was
taken to the new site this week and
drilling is to be done to test the
bedrock for the foundation of the
proposed dam. II the foundation Ia
secure, the big dam will be built on
the East Fork of the Carson river.
Two years ago, Reclamation engi-
neers were sent here to test the bed
rock at the Long Valley site and after
weeks of drilling it was announced
that conditions were found to be
all that was required. However,
at this time. it appears that the Long
Valley reservoir is to be abandoned,
should a good foundation for a dam
be found on the East Fork.
1t is understood that after the final
selection for the dam Is made by the
Reclamation Service and has been ap-
proved by the Washington officials,
it will be then necessary for the
land owners of Carson Valley, par
ticularly those who secure water for
irrigation from the East Fork of the
Carson river, to enter into an agree
ment with government along the
lines as stated In this paper q few
weeks ego by George Springmeyer
who was then in Washington, d. c.,
and thoroughly Investigated the Car
son Valley project and wrote his
findings to the Record Courier for the
information OF the farmers OF this
section.

Despite the fact that all Water

E. J. Phillips
Sells Liberty Bond

Since this war started, many dis
loyal persons have been made kiss an
American flag by a crowd of detcrmin-
ed men, but never have have we read
where one man acted alone in such
an undertaking. However, e. J.
Phillips did this very thing Tuesday
evening in very gentlemanly man
ner. Learing of the Schnauble affair.
and : to satisfy himself regarding
rumoss of disloyalty, he made it a
point to meet the man on the road
both being alone. This step was TAX
en-, it may be said, after Mr.. Phillips
had ascertained that his man had re-
ccived only very minor injuries from
the hands of his French adversary.
When questioned by Mr.. Phillips, H.
Schnauble denied that he he'd ever
mentioned the kaiser's name to the
Frenchman of talked about the war.
Il hate the Kaiser" he said land love
the United States." Mr. Phillips took
from his pocket silk American flag.
IF you love this county, kiss this
flag" demanded Phillips and the man
pressed the emblem of liberty to his
lips.
"What now?" asked Schnauble.
do you own any Liberty bonds?"
asked Mr.. Phillips.
mo one has ever asked me to buy
bonds" rejoined the other.
81 am asking you to buy bonds at
this time" said Phillips.
Alright. take $50 bond" said
Schnauble.
"A hundred dollar bond will look
better, Henry" added Phillips and
Henry became the owner of 500 bond,
at least he made his first payment on
the same.
When asked about the little affair,
Mr.. Phillips said that there was moth
ing much to say. my feelings are
with our boys over there who are
giving their lives that we at home
may enjoy that liberty which no other
people on earth is blessed" said Mr.
Phillips, after moment of study.
Are we at home to let such things
as this pass unoticed. We are either
for this country or we are against it,
and those who are against 1t should
be deported the land they uphold"

High School Play
Tuesday Night

At critical period in the history
of the United States when the nation
could no longer endure halfc free and
half slave, a great Civil War came
into being and Abraham Lincoln
guided the destinies of the Union to
successful liberty. In that war
brother fought against brother and
through their blood-shed, all of the
people of this great nation has en-
joyed that freedom for which they
died Many stories Of bravery and
valor have been handed down to us
from that war as we'll as stories of
spies and traitors. The annual play
by the pupils Of the Douglas County
high school is taken from the Civil
War, the title being Brother Against
Brother" 1t is a decidedly interest
ing story the best talent in the
school has been selected to carry out
the different characters. The play is
in five acts and will be staged ct the
high school auditorium next Tuesday
evening.
The pupils have been rehearsing
for this play for the past several
weeks and from all accounts, Brother
Against Brother" will surpass all pre-
viouS attempts of dramatic work of
the pupils.
After the show the Baker orchestra
will play for social dance.

there Is serious danger OF crop losses

EXTRA QUESTIONS

Occupational Exemption Blank Will Accompany
 .QuestiOnnaire

Washington, September TIA supple ment to the questIonnaire which men be- tween IS and 45 will be required to fill out after they register Thursday, has been ordered by the provost marshal general to cover information necessary for the granting of occupational exemptions under the broader provisions of the new man power act.
 In order to get all the nearly 5,O0000J questionnaires out in time, printing of them had to be begun before Congress passed the act. Consequently the doeu- ments do not include section of ques- tions to fix the status of men entitled to claim the new business, professional, or banking exemptions.
 The supplement will consist of only a single leaf and can be printed in time for distribution all over the country. It will be filled out by each registrant claiming exemption exactly as is the main ques- tonnaire.
 Regulations governing the application Of the law have been finally completed and the supplement is being framed in the light of their requirements. The point chiefly disputed since the extension
