were granted the right by the Com
mission. The two local auto service
concerns were also granted local right
for carrying passengers for pay, others
being eliminated from the business.
The issuing OF a certificate to Gin
occhio Bros. for truck line between
Gardnerville and Reno. was opposed
by Attorney Murphy representing the
Virginia & Truckee Railway on the
ground that said railroad was serving
the people of Gardnerville and that
there was no need existing for the
Ginocchio truck lines. L. Ginocchio
was placed on the stand and was
closely questioned by Attorney MUIR
ply. Ginocchio related that he had es-
tablished the truck line at the So
licitation of the merchants and others
Of Gardnerville. giving quicker SER
vice than formerly given by the rail-
road. Attorney Montrose answered
one of Mr.. Muphy's questions by stat
ing that II the v. & T. would extend
its line into Gardnerville serving the
people of this town the same as exists
at Minden. the Ginocchio truck line
would be taken from the Reno run,
and would serve as feeder to the
railway rather than a competitor. At :
torney Montrose gave notice that a
supplemental petition would be fled
with the Commission by Ginocchio
Bros. The petition has been prepared
and will be fled with the Public Ser
vice Commission at later date by
the owners OF the Reno-Gardnerville
motor truck line.

ARNOLD WINNER IN
RIM TO LAKE TAHOE

Harry Arnold. driving an Essex car
won the endurance race from Sac
ramento to Lake Tahoe Tuesday
morning. Time 1903.
Arnold was the third car to start,
leaving Sacramento at $50. He made
the first lap of the race from Sacra-
mento to Placerville in one hour fat.
The first car off was the Stephens,
which got away at $50. Placerville
was reached in one hour and four
minutes, and the run to the Lake be-
ing made In three hours and eight
minutes.
The Peerless driven by Horace Mills
was the second to get off. The driver
attempted short cut over the un-
paved road between Mills and Whit
Rock, but went into the ditch and
was out Of the running.
The run from Placerville to the
Lake in two hours and three minutes
is fast considering the curves, being
an average of nearly thirty miles an
hour. and showing that the road is In
first class condition.
1t is the purpose Of the promoter
to make the endurance run to the Lake
an annual event-Placerville Repub-
lican.

DRY WEATHER
IN NEVADA

The weather and crop bulletin for
the week ending July %, issued by
the United States department Of ag-
riculture, weather bureau, Pacific
coast district. says dry weather con-
tinues in all portions of this district.
except in the southern plateau states
and tine Sierra Nevada mountains.
where several beneficial showers fell
during the week.
Streams are running low In north
ern Nevada and water for irrigation
purposes Is becoming scarce in por-
tions of the state. The oat crop Is
ripening rapidly In Nevada. The tenn
peratures were too high for the de-
velopment Of potatoes.
The weather was ideal for haying,
which work continued In nearly all
parts of the district. The second crop
of alfalfa is light in Nevada. except In
the western portion Of the state. where
irrigation is sufficient. The ranges OF
southern Nevada were greatly Inn
proved by showers which fell inter-
mittently during the week. Upper
ranges continue good. but the lover
ranges are drying rapidly. Stock
generally continue In good condition.
The bulletin says: "In Nevada
drouth is cousing shortage OF irri-
cation water, especially in Humboldt
valley. Second crop Of alfalfa. exce1t
IN west portion, where irrigation water
is sufficient. Grain ripening rapidly:
temperatures too high for proper de-
velopment of potatoes. Apples doing
well; apricots being marketed. Ranges
in higher mountains continue good to
excellent; low ranges dry. Cattle and
sheep continue In good condition"

PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION
HOLDS TRUCK INVESTIGATION

Monday the Public Service Commits
sion OF Nevada made an investigation
OF motor truck operation In Nevada at
meeting held in Carson City. After
investigating conditions In Lyon
county. the Commission occupied the
rest OF the day In securing data and
information to determine which lines
operating in Douglas county hold pri-
ority rights under Ruling 4. and to
grant certificates for the operation of
truck ines.
Application for certificates had been
fed with the Commission by the Mer-
rift Olds Transportation Company and
the Minden Flour Milling Company for
hearing on Monday, those companies
being represented by Attorney Geo.
Sanford. while Attorney Geo. A. Mont
rose looked after the interests of the
Ginocchio Bros. Anderson Bros. as
well as the auto service business of
Oliver Swanson and Jepsen Eros.
Anderson Bros. claim right of pri-
ority over all other truck lines on
certain routes. having purchased the
business of Alex Scott established in
1914, and who for many years prior TO
this date operated freightiug busi-
ness with horses. The Minden Milling
Company operating on the route or
routes contended a similar right. but
the Commission made II clear that they
were establishing the date of the es-
tablishment Of motor freight lines and
nothing else. Ginocchio Bros. estab-
lished a motor truck line between
Reno and Gardnerville In 1911 as well
as other routes. The Minden Milling
Company established a truck line in
the spring Of 1917. and the Olds Com
pany May 1st. 1919, according to appli-
cation filed.
II has been given out that the above
truck lines will all receive certificates
of public convenience, but II will be
impossible for them to add more
trucks without the sanction OF the
Public Service Commission in which
event the truck company holding pri-

WEST FORK FARMS SUFFER
FOR LACK OF WATER

While farmers in Carson Valley
whose ranches are irrigated from the
East fork of the Carson river are ex-
periencing no loss of crops through
water shortage. the same cannot be
said of those who take water for irri-
cation from the West fork of the river.
For the past two years the VIM Set
telmeyer ranch has suffered oss of
at least $4,000 annually because of
lack of water to grow second crop,
other farmers of the West. Fork have
suffered similar losses. A few years
ago a movement was started for the
building of storage reservoirs but was
discouraged by the government owing
to pending reclamation plans under
federal control.

In making his estimate Dean Knight
fixed $40 as the average price per ton
of alfalfa hay and $40 a ton for po-
tatoes. He estimated that grass hay
would bring SIS ton and that wheat
would bring 81 a bushel.
His talk was given In response to
a request from the teachers and others
attending the summer school that they
be shown how the rural teachers can
assist In building up the agricultural
resources OF the state. and pean
Knight dwelt at length on the work
carried on by the agricultural depart
ment of the university to assis. the
farmers and stock growers OF the state
and to stimulate interest in agricnl-
tural depelopment among the younger
people. In this connection he des-
cribed the courses conducted at Elko
early In the spring In cooperation
with the Elko high school TO interest
the boys agriculture.
"The younger men from the farms
and ranches in Nevada are capable of
making the greatest agricultural de-
velopment in the state as they are
very familiar with general local con-
ditions.' he said. AT present less
than ten per cent OF these boys are
receiving training In agriculture.
either In the rural school or In the
high school and less than three per-
cent of these boys attend the agricul-
tural college The rural school
teachers of the state can. therefore,
be very helpful in stimulating the in
tereste of the young men when they
enter the high schools.
THE agricultural course offered to
the teachers In the summer school in
wolves chiefly the training OF thes
teachers to present to their students
by elementary principals involved in
the production OF crops and the rails
ing of live stock. The various agri-
cultural exercises have been carefully
worked out and a typewriter copy
presented to each teacher so that this
elementary work in agriculture can
be easily given by the teacher with
not more than $40 worth Of equip
ment which can be used continually
In that school.
1T is not necessary to introduce
regular agricultural classes In the
rural schools as this work can be
given as a part of other courses now
offered in these schools. Such work
will not only increase the interest of
the teacher and student in the school
work but will also bring them In
closer touch with the agricultural
conditions of that community

ent summer session and 1t Is expect

WASHOE TRIBE
HOLD DANCE

The WashOe Indians of this neck OF
the woods held big pow-wow and
dance at the Wallace Park ranch last
Saturday night and many white people
motored out to that point and wit
messed the affair.
Nearly two hundred Indians took
part In the pow-wow and dance, which
lasted throughout the night, II is
commonly believed that Indians dance
around a bonfire. but Saturday night
the washoes had no bonfire at the
dance and the only means of getting
a glimpse of their queer custom. was
through the aid OF an electric flash
light. Forming large circle the
indians begin moving slowly. chant
ing at low breath. The singing be-
comes lowder and lowder and as II
moved by some strange spirit. the
dancers start upon their "shimmie"
step. This continues until they are
exhausted and short pause is taken
for rest Old men and women as well
as the Indian children take part In the
dance, that has been handed down to
them from the past ages.
Looking for information our re-
porter asked a young Indian II the
dance had any special Significance
and he replied that 1t had. wait un-
til midnight and you will see he ad-
vised We waited in the gloom watch
Ing the outline OF the dark figures
glide around and around, and at the
appointed hour a ripple OF excitement
was evidenced. among the dancers.
Bearing a long wand two Indian maids
entered the center of the circle. the
chanting became more intense and the
dance was on In earnest. Our infor-
mant told us that the two maidens
had announced their bethrothal and
the dance was In their honor
The dance, however. was not the
least attraction as the Indians had
taken up q collection and purchased a
supply OF watermellons. ice cream,
cake. pie. bread and meat. which with
steaming coffee furnished meal fit
for anyone. The food was served on a
long table which was graeed with
honest-to-goodness- Two In
dian women served while others
washed dishes and set the table for
the hungry line of dancers
The washoe Indians dance much
after the same fashion as did their
forefathers before the white man took
control OF their domain. In those
days they rode on ponies when the
Piutes. hostile tribe allowed. and
when they did not, they walked to
their war-dances. Today they ride in
automobiles and enjoy many of the
other twentieth century conyeniences
and as a matter of fact Carson Valley
farmers could hardly get along with
out Indian help In harvesting crops
for as a whole they are excellent
workers.
