DANCE WAS
GREAT SUCCESS

The dance given last Saturday night
by the Odd Fellow and Rebekah
lodges to celebrate the Tooth ami
versary of Odd Fellowship, was large
ly attended and was one of the social
successes of the season. The dance
was marked by the same good fellow
ship that always prevail at dances
given by these fraternal orders.
The music by Bakers orchestra was
as good as you can find anywhere and
the high standard set by this musical
organization Is credit to the COM
munity.
The supper given by the ladies of
Rebekah lodge was greatly enjoyed by
the dancers. The tables were loaded
with good things and those at the
second table received the same good
service as were those at the first

LAKE TAHOE
ROAD OPENED
Ford Car Made First
Trip Over Kings
bury Grad to Lake
Last Saturday

The first automobile over the Kings
bury grade from Lake Tahoe was A
Ford driven by Chas. Young of Bijou,
the trip having been made last Sat
urday. With the exception OF one
small drift the read was free Of snow
and that route is now open to auto
travel
Season after season the Kings
bury route to Lake Tahoe is the first
road open to Lake Tahoe. and it is al
so fact that this rote receives less
attention that any road leading to the
famous recreation grounds of the
West However. the board of county
commissioner have decided to do con-
siderable work on the road during
the next few weeks and hope to put
the highway in better condition than
it has been In years. During the
summer months this is one of the
most important highways leading in
to Carson Valley. With the road put
in good condition. the travel from
Lake Tahoe could be trebbled and the
business men of this section greatly
benefited thereby. The greater part
of the road needs but little repairs,
while a half mile stretch below the
sawmill as well as the turn leading
out of the canyon requires consider
able work 70 put it in shape.
The Kings Canyon route leading
to the lake from Carson is nov under
the supervision of the State Highway
Commission which means that the
road will be put in the best of shape.
The other route leading to Lake Tahoe
from this side of the Sierras is Via
the Alpine State Highway road
that is always is splendid condition.
The majority of tourists travling the
Alpine highway from the Lake to
Yosemite Valley, give Carson Valley
a clean go-by by travelling the little
used road that cuts across the ex-
treme southeren end of the county.
1t is quite evident that to induce auto
bury grade must be put in fair condi-
tion. Unless this step is taken the
business interests of this county will
be heavy losers. Aside from this. the
Kingsbury grade is used by every
auto owner in Douglas county and
this is better reason for the i'm
provement of the road. The county
commissioners will receive the hearty
endorsement of all in their decision
to repair the Kingsbury grade.
