CARSON VALLEY FIELDS
TAXING ON SPRING c0LORINC

Carson Valley has taken on her
spring clothes and the alfalfa fields
resemble lawns, but covering hund-
res and hundreds of acres. Early
fruit trees are in blossom. gardens are
beginning to grow and early grain IS
popping through the ground. On all
sides farmers are busily engaged
with spring work and in some I'M
stances new ground sis being brokerk
up to be cultivated for the first time
this season.
There is no fear of water shortage
as there was sufficient snowfall in
the mountains to provide moisture
for all crops. To be true. there win
be no water to waste, but properly
handled, Carson Valley will produce
bountiful crops of hay and grain this
season.

STRONG SUPPORT
SHOWN FOR
MOVEMENT

Thirty or more representative citi-
zens Of Gardnerville held meeting
at the Justic Court room last Thurs
day night to discuss the feasibility of
taking steps fer the Incorporation of
this tcwn he meeting brought ont
many favorable statepents for in
&c. pGraiiCg In tha meeting OF
thirty odd taxpayers but enc spoke
agains, it.
A committee consisting of Leo.
spr.ng meyer, Chas. W. Brown and
J. j Rrocklss was appointed to
scertain the steps necessary to form
a commission form of government.
Fc~ years Gardnerville was been in
need of local government as condi-
nissieuers are prohibited from doing
any work on side streets in unin-
corporated towns and as result. the
streets in the residential part of town
are in deplorable condition. especial
ly during the winter months. For
some years the main street of Gard
neryille has been sprinkled during the
summer months. the expense being
cared for by popular subscription.
The scheme was never successful
from the fact that one business house
could not be expected to stand the ex-
pense of the man who refused to CO.
operate This resulted in abandoning
the work and last year no sprinkling
was carried on.
Fer a town its size Gardnerville Is
poorly lighted, the only street lights
tha we have are furnished free OF
charge by the Douglas Milling q
Fower company. Besides depending
entirely upon the charitable offer OF
the power company, the town should
have at least twelve more street
lights. There are many civic inn
provements, although of seemingly
small consequence, yet in the aggre-
gate will go long way In improving
the conditions of the town.
A few who are opposed to incor-
poration are of the opinion that the
reason for the suggested step is for
the sole purpose of forcing people to
build cement sidewalks. move their
houses to straighten streets and to
prohibit cows and chickens from be-
ing kept within the city limits This is
entirely wrong. The one idea is to
make Gardnerville better and clean
er city; to built better streets. here
by increasing he value of property.
1t is to be admitted that business
firms in Gardnerville have grown dur
ing the past few years and are doing
"A greater volume of trade than at any
time in their history. These men have
given all their time and energy to
their own institutions but have been
entirely lacking in civic Improvement.
The meeting last Thursday night in
dicates that these men have awaken
ed and intend to give their best, ener-
gy to the Improvement and advance
ment of the town itself.

no doubt il will be realized. | know
something of Methodism; | have seen
some work in foreign countries.

fore | went to the PHILIPPINES. | was
near neighbor to China. India and
all the Orient. and leame to appreciate
the good influence of the Missionaries
from the Christian Churches of the
United States. | have lived among
Bishops, and | know your Bishop
Bashford in China and your Bishop
Harris in Japan. They We're states
men and We're consulted by the lead
ing statesmen of those countries.
Your Missionaries are working a
long right lines. You are educating
the pagan, introducing institutional
work giving them hospitals and tax
ing the part of the Good Samaritan

foreign diplomats spoke of foreign
Missionaries with contempt. Today
the Missionaries are looked upon as
the leading statesmen in the progress
of civilization. No one can go into
the Orient without feeling the benefi-
cent effect of the missions. My heart
is with you in this great work"

High School Boys
Build Cement Court

The students of the Douglas County
High School this week have set an
example of school spirit that may be
well followed by the community in
general.
The students have been desirious of
securing a cement tennis court at the
school grounds but the cost amounted
TO $500 or more and was almost pro-
hibitory. The students got together
and decided that with the assistance
of one cement expert they could do
all the other work thereby cutting the
cost to about 5000.
Last Saturday the work was start
ed, the boys securing teams and dur
ing that day hauled 81 loads of gravel
