Riders Of the Purple Sage
Big Feature at Local Playhouses

One of the strangest chapters in
American history is vividly presented
in the great photoplay "Riders of the
Purple Sage" in which William Far
mum will appear at the Mnden theatre
Saturday night and the yalhalla sun
day night.
Based on the Zane Grey novel of
the same name, Riders of the Purple
Sage relates a story whose setting
is Utah in the early days of the Nor
mon settlement, and gives an illumi-
mating insight into the practices of
some of the former leaders of thai
sect
The play starts with the abduction
CT girl by powerful dignitary Of
the Mormon cult, and tells a thrilling
story of a years long hunt by her
brother for the man who wronged her.
The extent of the power of the elders
of the church over their followers is
startingly revealed, and to students of
American history the picture will
prove an amazing narrative of factor
in the great Vests growth that is not
known.

place last Saturday night was largely
attended despite the extremely warm
weather, and those present declare
that il was the crowning social event
of the season. Over $50 tickets were

funds with which to clear up the debt
of the American Legion Chapter of this
county. although the exact amount
cleared on the dance will not be known
until the organization holds its next
meeting.
yalhalla hall was beautifully deco
rated in national colors for the oc-
casion and those In charge of the
dance left nothing nndone for the
pleasure of the dancers The Barker
orchestra furnished the usual high
standard music, while the midnight
supper served by the families of the
soldiers. was par-excellent.
Later In the season the soldiers
will give a dance at the Minden hall

also expect to manage a Labor Day
celebration In Gardnerville this fall.

Water Sells
For High Price

According to reports from Smith
Valley water for irrigation in that Sec
ton is extremely short and crops are
suffering more severly than In many
years. 1t is claimed that the water
litigation existing for years between
Miller & Lux and other farmers which
was adjusted some months ago, was
not fair to interests in Smith Valley
and the only thing that prevents
further suits is the fact that storage
system is to be built.
One of the stipulations In the ad-
justment of water troubles In Mason
and Smith Valleys, allows water users
to transfer water rights from one tract
of land to another, even as far as
selling their water to other farmers.
This is being done in Mason Valley.
and it is reported that one we'll known
Mason Valley farmer sold his water,
recelvne >esoo For its use during the
summer, allowing his own crops Tn
suffer.
J. w. Wilson of Yerington Is re-
ported by the Reno Gazette as stating
that farmers of that Valley are re-
ceiving high as $500 second foot for
water from potato growers. A second
foot of water will irrigate from 75 to
100 acres of land.

MRS. CURR|E
RESIGNS OFFICE

Mrs. Ella Currie, postmistress of
the Gardneryille office has notified the
postal department that she no longer
desires to conduct the office and asks
that her successor be appointed i'm
mediately.
After the fire In the Imelh BUILDING
some months ago, the office was
moved to temporary quarters in the
building next to Mrs. Cnrrie's store.
She Immediately circulated a petition
In Gardneryille which was later for
warded TO the postal department ask
ing that the postiffice be permanently
located in the building adjoining her
store. A counter petition was circu-
lated about the same time asking that
the office be re-established in the for
mer quarters in the Imelli building
An inspector visited Gardnerville and
II Is understood that he favored the
location desired by Mrs Currie and at
that time il was believed that the mat
ter was settled The postmistress
gave him to understand that should
the office be moved back to the
Imelli building, her resignation would
be forthcoming.
Two weeks ago United States Sena-
tor Henderson sent one OF the state
officials here from Carson to inyesti-
gate the matter and report to him.
From the turn in events 1t is evident
that he reported fayorably to the Ime-
Iii location.
Just who will be the successor to
Mrs. Currie Is not known and II Is
probable that the postal department

Warm Weather
Benefits Crops

The extreme warm weather of the
past ten days or two weeks has been
of great benefit to growing crops in
Carson Valley. especially to grain
crcps. Wheat and barley is ripening
fast. and already winter wheat has
been cut and much of the same is in
the stack. Within the next few days
many of the farmers will commence
threshing early grain. and in many
instances farmers intend to haul their
grain from the field direct to the
threshing machine, diapencing entire
ly with stacking. This is made pos
sible through the fact that instead of
.i.ce tnresnlng outfits to handle the
grain crop of Carson Valley. which
usually required period of abou,
sixty days, the work will be done this
year by nearly twenty small machines
owned by the farmers.
While the grain crop is about ready
to harvest, the second crop of alfalfa
is growing rapidly and in most in
stances a good yield will be cut The
water supply, while extremely low, is
sufficient for all needs and crops are
not suffering in Carson Valley The
storage water from the dams of the
Alpine Land and Reservoir is beins
used to Supplement the natural flow oi
the East Fork of the Carson river. and
is of great benefit to the farmers al
this time

Buys
Entire Valley

One of the largest land deals in
Elko county has recently been closed
whereby the Union Land & Cattle
Company purchased from w f. Rose
berry and Roy Roseberry 5000 acres
OF land In the upper part of Inde-
pendence Valley but few miles from
the town of Tusearora. The figures
are said to run well into the six fig
ures. as large part of the land Is
undercultivation and controls a large
amount of water. Immediate posses
sion is given. as Roy Roseberry in
tends to continue In the stock bust
ness and will buy ranch elsewhere.
W. f. Roseberry intends to devote all
his time and attention to his extern
sive mining interests.
With the purchase of these two
ranches the Union Land & Cattle
Company gets possession of the en-
tire Independence Valley that is
forty miles long and six wide, the
ranch buildings making a small vii
lage. with a population larger than
the down of Tuscarora.
This company is one of the largest
land owners in the state, having the
second largest ranch in Elko county.
besides great holdings in other parts
of the state.
They own the Big Mary river ranch,
extending from Deeth northward for
fifty miles; the old seventy-one ranch
south of Haleck. and the River ranch
between Deeth and Haleck, besides
immense range lands.
Elko has the distinction OF having
within its borders two of the largest
ranches in the world, the other be
ing the old Sparks ranch. now owned
by the Utah Construction Company
Elko Free Press.

More Counties
To be Divided

More county carving will be sought
at the next session of the legislature,
according to reports from Elko and
Carlin. According to the plans of
residents of Carlin, which have not
been given much publicity so far, 1t is
proposed to cut off piece of Elko
county at Moline. on the west side
of the county. join this piece to
Eureka county and make Carlin the
county seat of the enlarged Eureka
county.
Concerning the proposed division
the Elko Independent says:
Ha! hal Jack Dalton, we have thee
with the papurz, Jack is Il Carlinite
and he is sneaking around the bush
with a proposition to bust "a piece of
this county off at Moline and tack it
onto Eureka county and make Carlin
the county seat. Wouldn't it flap
your sails, the progressivism that's
behind these carlin gentlemen? Only
a short time ago they put in an cleo
tric light plant. or tried TO rather. and
now that they have city lights they
want to be county seat Well, II
carlin knocks off piece of Elko
county at Moline and Brother Phil
and his cohorts start hammering us
from the Wells direction We are like
to have a merry bombardment here
abouts for awhile. But the Carlin
hunch is given as straight dope and
the political powers that be. who eX-
pect to keep Carlin down had better
begin setting the alarm clock for
about four g.m, for evidently the lit
tie railroad town is off in a bunch
with a mighty good idea to work on.
In addition to that proposition she
has little old Eureka right by the
scruff of the neck for as long as Sex
ton runs Eureka with his little ole
steam pot railroad. Eureka will al
WAYS be a relic of by-gone days.

that the offices and rooms have. al
ready been spoken for.
II. A. Meder has taken long term
lease on the theatre and will have one
of the best show houses outside of
Reno in the state. 1t will have
seating capacity of $50, with a gallery
and will be steam heated in winter
while in summer a modern ventilation
system will keep the theatre cool.
Several parties are already ne
gotiating with Mr. Dempster for the
lease of the store building but as yet
no deal has been closed
For the past year the present show
house has been to small to accommo-
date the crowds that attend picture
shows and the new building will be a
welcomed improvement to the COM
munity in general

New Prison
To be Built

The question of where the new state
prison will be located, on the present
site or on the prison farm probably
will be decided within a short time
and work on the new prison Is ex-
pected to be started some time this
summer
As soon as State Architect DeI.ong-
champs submits to the board a com
parative statement showing the cost
of building the prison on the two pro-
posed sites the prison board will de-
eide the matter The data now is be-
ing prepared by the state architect.
who has a special assistant on the
work. Some of the data already has
reached the board.
Much of the stone to be used in the
first increment of the new prison has
been cut. the work having been done
a couple OF years ago. There is suf-
fcient cut to permit construction work
going ahead as soon as II is decided
where the prison is to be located. At
the present time the prison force is
engaged in cutting stone to be used
In the construction of the annex TO
the orphans home. When this stone
is cut the work on the prison stone
Will be resumed.
Warden Henrichs' report on condi-
tions at the prison farm has been sub
mitted to Governor Boyle and shows
that the farm is on firm financial
basis. The dairy herd has been sup
plying the prison with all the milk,
cream and butter used there In ad-
dition to this, cream sales have been
averaging OF late about $3.50 per month
and sufficient skinned milk has been
obtained to fatten a fine bunch of hogs
kept on the farm. All the meat used
at the prison Is supplied by the prison
farm and the wheat crop looks snffi-
ciently good to bring a return that
will be equivalent to the prison re
quirements for -four during the next
twelve months. Last year the wheat
crop provided an eight-months' stock
of -four for the prison.
