FOR JUSTICE OF THE PEACE

In this issue will be found the an
nouncement of ]. N. Anderson, who
seeks election to the office of Justice
of the Peace of this county. Mr.. An
derson has been a resident of Gard

the management of the concern and
disposed of much of his interest in the
company.
Mr.. Anderson is we'll qualified for
the position he seeks and, if elected.
will make this county an excellent
Justice of the Peace. He asks that
the voters of Douglas county give his
candidacy due consideration.

FLOW OF CARSON RIVER
is RAPIDLY DIMINISHING

Water in the Carson river Is dimin-
ishing at a rapid rate and had 1t not
been for the storage water from the
reservoirs of the Alpine Land and
Reservoir company the second crop
OF alfalfa and grain crops would have
suffered to great extent Storage water
is still flowing, but will be exhausted
within the next ten days, when the
natural flow of the Carson river alone
will be depended upon. However. the
second crop of alfalfa is now being
cut and no further water for this crop
will be required Grain is maturing
and a great deal of 1t has already been
cut. so the present shortage of water
will not bring loss to the farmers
through crop shortage. It is true.
however, that many farmers have not
been able to secure sufficient water.
which their demand required, and as
result the second crop is not as
heavy as 1t would have been under
normal water conditions. but when 1t
Is realized that in the Lovelock Sec
tion, as well as other farming Sec
tions of Nevada, great loss of crops
have been suffered by farmers through
lack of water, the farmers of Carson
valley are indeed fortunate.

STOCK SHIPMENTS
LIGHT THIS YEAR

From reliable sources II Is learned
that drought followed by shortage of
feed is going to cut down movement
Of cattle to California this year. Rail
road officials also advise that the
usual difficulty In furnishing prompt
services In stock cars Is feared this
year, owing TO difficulty of getting
stock cars out of service for ship
ment OF coal, fruit and the like. 1t
Is too early to accurately forecast de-
mand for stock cars for cattle. bur
estimates so far received tend to show
a normal demand. though lower than
last year. which was above normal
Competent judges place the demand
for stock cars for cattle from Elko.
our big livestock county. at two
thirds OF last year. Sheep shipments
should be under way full blast after
the middle of August, estimates re-
ceiyed so far tending to show a de-
mand about 25 per cent less than last
year for stock cars for sheep.-Ne-

DAMAGE SUIT TO BE HEARD
IN DISTRICT COURT THIS FALL

In all probability the damage suit
filed in the District Court of this
county year ago by Mrs. Dora
Hickey of Minden against the Doug
las Milling and Power company OF
Gardnerville will come to trial this
fall. An effort of her attorneys was
made recently to have the date set for
September but Judge Langan, because
of other cases set for hearing in his
district during that month found it
impossible to grant the request, and
it will come up later. The suit is the
outcome of an accident wherein Chas.
Rickey met his death near the Doug
las power dam when a steel fishing
rod which he was carrying came in
contact with a high voltage electric
wire causing Mr.. Rickey's death.

MAY PAVE MAIN
ST. FULL WIDTH

Surveyors of the Nevada highway
department under the supervision of
Engineer Williams. who has charge
of highway construction in Douglas
county, are setting grade stakes for
the concrete road to be built between
Minden and Gardnerville and have
completed this work within the limits
of Gardnerville.
Mr. Williams states that the con-
tractors are expected to arrive this
week and will start active work with
in short time.
The proposition that has been under
consideration by those owning prop
erty on Main street for the paving of
both sides of the 24-foot strip have
received prices for the work and a
committee is now at work interview
Ing owners of property with the view
OF paving the street for its entire
width, including curbing and cutters.
Many have signified their intention of
having this work done at the time
the main highway is built. and at this
writing 1t is learned that at least one
block will be paved for its entire
width. The cost is very reasonable
and is made SO from the fact that all
necessary machinery will be on the
ground.
1t is to be hoped that the property
holders will all take an active in
terest and carry on this work, which
Will be one of the biggest advance
steps taken by them in the history
of the town. The state highway COM
mission will give assistance in all
ways possible. but the expense of lay
ing the side strip must be borne by
the property holders.

STATES INTERESTS
OPPOSE RATE INCREASE

The railroads plea for a twenty-five
per cent increase in freight rates and
twenty per cent increase in pas
senger rates in Nevada Is based upon
the increase granted by the interstate
commerce commission, Henley Booth,
attorney for the railroads, told the
public service commission. Mr.. Booth
declared the state commission had no
other recourse than to grant the in
crease asked and then hold hearings
for readjustments found necessary.
says the Gazette.
]. G. kirchen appeared for mining
interests of the state. He declared the
mining industry would be crippled by
any increase in freight rates on coal,
coke and mining materials. He said
mining would cease at Round Noun
tain, lone, Manhattan, Granville and
other places in that locality If the
Increase were granted.
l.. G. Campbell of the state highway
commission declared the increased
rates on sand. gravel. cement and
other material would mean an addi-
tional expense of $4,000 to the state
on projects now under way.
e. II. Walker, representing the Reno
traffic bureau and other commercial
organizations of the state, testified
that the railroads at present are earn
ing from five and one-half to six per
cent on their investments in Nevada
and should not be granted any blanket
Increases. He admitted that some of
the smaller lines in Nevada might be
entitled to some increases, but he con-
tended none of the main lines was.
Interests from Ely, Goldfeld. Pi-
oche, Las Vegas and other sections
filed petitions with the commission op-
posing any increase in interstate rates.
Each of the petitions enumerated in
dustries that would be forced to close
should the increase be granted.

Brewster Adams of Reno, candi-
date for the Republican nomination
for United States Senator, was here
from Reno last Saturday interviewing
the voters of this section during the
short time that he could spare. he
being on his way to Yerington and
other counties of Nevada, which he Is
to cover before the primary election
September Z. The short time which
he has to cover the state does not
give him an opportunity to interview
all of the voters, as he would like to
do. but he is making the most of the
time he has at his disposal.
To a representative of this paper
Mr.. Adams said he was not a radical,
nor did he believe in revolutionary
legislation to bring about desired re-
suits. He does believe, however, that
many changes from the present
method of Democratic administration
are sadly needed and 1t is in this
work that he would like to take part
as United States Senator from Nevada.
Mr.. Adams is one of the best known
men in Nevada and has always taken
a keen interest in matters that af-
feet the masses and stands at all times
on the side of right. He is the friend
of the laboring man to the same ex-
tent that he is a friend of the man
who employs labor, and Is ready to
give both square deal. He Is a con-
vincing speaker, as the people of
Douglas county all know who heard
him at the commencement exercises
of the Douglas County high school
last June. A man of Brewster Adams
type will carry weight at Washington,
and the Republicans of Douglas
county will make no mistake In se-
lecting him to head their ticket at
the election next November.

ALFALFA HAY
QUARANT|NED

A proclamation establishing a quar-.
antine against the expectation of al
falfa and other hay, cereal straw
potatoes. nursery stock, household
goods or agricultural and emigrant
movables from Washoe county was
yesterday issued by Governor Boyle
The expectation of alfalfa, hay, cereal
straw, etc. is absolutely prohibited
during the duration of the quarantine
and regulations are provided to gov
ern the shipment of potatoes, nursery
stock and household goods.
The action was taken on recon-
mendation of DIR. Edward Records,
who in his written statement to the
government said that late In June Mr..
Pack, field man of the federal bureau
of entomology, while making a sur
vey of western Nevada. found no al
falfa-weevil In the Carson Valley.
Fernley or Fallon districts, but did
find the weevil larvae in a field north
OF Reno. The matter was considered
by various experts. The California
quarantine officer was consulted and
he agreed to establish no quarantine
against any other Nevada county on
condition that Nevada quarantine
Washoe county.
II is not thought that much embar-
rassment will result from the quaran-
tine. as practically all alfalfa and
other hay produced In washoe county
Is consumed at home. Potatoes may
be exported upon compliance with the
prescribed regulations.

Senator Henderson OF Elko has no
opposition for the Democratic renom-

candidates for the senatorial nomina-
tion merry war is on, with three

are seen at Reno hotels. appear 10
be very fair in their discussion of
candidates. There is no evidence OF
desire for a ''mud-slinging" cam
paign for the primary election. Rather,
1t seems, the people are trying as
never before to use their best judg-
ment in the selection of Republican
candidate for senator.
Much to general surprise. the Ne
vada State Journal appeared Monday
morning with scathing denuncia-
ton OF the Rev. Brewster Adams as
candidate. The same newspaper,
the day before. published an open let
ter from w. T. Mcneil, who at one
time published the now defunct Ne
vada Homebuilder asking Sam Arentz
to discuss the issues of the campaign
with him. II these two publications
are significant of contemplated cam
paign of yilification, as some profess
to believe, they have at least evoked
no comment so far either from the
press of the state or the candidates.
