WEATHER HAS
BEEN FREAK|SH.
From Six BlolU Zero to
Above Freezing in
Four Hours

During the past week Carson Valley
has experienced the queerst weather
conditions every known at this time
|of the year. On several occasions the
thermometer dropped to 6 below zero
and within four hours would climb to
la point above the freezing point. The
wind has blown from every known
direction. bringing with 1t sleet and
rain and at times bordering onto a
blizzard. Wednesday night heavy
wind brought rain and during the
night the warm wind and rain <prac-
tically cleared this side of the Valley
of snow. leaving the roads and ground
covered with pools Of water and mud.
While 1t has been raining in the
Valley reports are to the effect that 1t
has been showing steadily In the
higher mountain. the snow already
having reached great depth.
This has been on of the most bene-
fetal storm to farmers and stockmen
of this section that has been known in
years. 1t is conceded that early
storms In the mountains are of much
more benefit that those that come
later. Early storms provide founda-
tion for late SHOWS. and from this
fact. the present storm-is consndered
to be of great benefit.

The department found that from

that selection should be made with

EAST SIDE OF WASHOE
LAKE FOR STATE HIGHWAY

Whether the new state highway be-
tween Reno and Carson City should
follow the east or the west side OF
Washoe lake, a question that has been
Pending for several years and conc
erning which there has been great in
terest, was decided Monday by the Ne
vada department of highways. which
voted in favor of the east side The
matter is now officially settled and
the department announces that plans
and specifications will be Immediately
prepared so that bids for construction
of the finished work may be called for
in January.
For a generation the selection of a
route past the lake has come up when
the county commissioners, who for
merly had charge of the roads con-
struction. planned any extensive work
be tween the tow cities. Usually they
compromised by making limited inn
provements on both branches, al
though the bulk of the funds were
usually expended on the west side
road. along which were TO be found
the greatest number of farms and resi-
dents.
After the organization of the state
highway department partisans of both
routes and a number of interested cit
zents took considerable interest in the
forthcoming selection and before max
ing its decision the department held
public hearings at Carson City, where
statements OF both sides were made
Construction cost and the cost of OBJ
tanning rights of way for new loca
tions of the two roads were gone into
thoroughly.

Alexander of the department announ-

road be built at much less cost On the
east side of the lake. bat that it could
