COUNTY WILL PAY
BUT FOURTH
OF COST

Since work started on the new
concrete highway between Minden
and Gardnerville, there has been
general misunderstanding as to the
part Douglas county is to pay for its
construction, according to information
received yesterday. Douglas county
is not paying the bill for the entire
cost of the paving. Through the town
of Gardnerville and Minden, the state
and federal government is paying up
to 100000 a mile, while for the sixth
of mile between the two towns. the
state pays one-fourth of the cost,
the federal government one-half and
the county one-fourth.
1t is only through the aid of state
and federal government that the
building of the new highway is made
possible and through this aid the
county is enabled to build a highway
of this nature.
The highway now being constructed
will be travelled far more than any
other road in Douglas county, and will
be benefit to every tax payer in
Carson Valley. 1t is but the beginn-
ing of permanent road construction in
Douglas county as advocated by the
federal government for the betterment
of rural communities. Congress has
carrying out of this policy throughout
the United States and Douglas county
has been exceedingly well favored by
being one of the first counties in the
State of Nevada where permanent
highway building has been started.

There was quite flutter of indig-
nation among the Yerington sport.
ing element last Thursday when
Chief of Police Kelly issued a pro.
nunciamento forbiddng all kinds Of
gambling in hte city. The chief says
that the games have been an attrac-
tion to tin-horn sports who do moth.

years of age have been permitted tc
play at the games. He says he will
keep the games closed until the un-

Senator Chas. henderson
Is Sure Of Reelection

Charles B. Henderson, United States
Senator, and who aspires to succeed
himself for that Office at the election
to be held on the End of next month,
was visitor to Gardnerville and Min
den yesterday, having been touring
the state in the interest of his candid
acy. Senator Henderson, declares
that in his judgment the state will go
Democratic at the coming election.
and reports that he has been well re-
ceived in every county in Nevada.
He was greatly encouraged yester-
day by the manner In which he was
received in Douglas county, which Is
termed to be one of the Strongest Re-
publican counties in the state. He
is working hard and has way of maxi
Ing friends with bankers, business
men and laborers, declaring that they
are all his friends and that he repre-
sents no special class at Washington.
Senator Henderson's home is in
Elko county where he Is heavily in
terested in banking, stock raising and
other enterprises.
The Senator was met at this place
by Joe Farnsworth, state printer, and
who has recently come in for a good
share of publicity from the Reno
Journal, supposed Democratic news
paper that is endeavoring to defeat
Senator Henderson. Farnsworth de-
clares that the Journal has nothing
up its political sleeve that can hurt
him in the least and he believes that
he has a better standing with the
voters of the state than the editor
of the Journal, and we believe he is
right.

Considine Not
In Booze Ring

Charges that John s. Considine
federal prohibition director in the
western district and well known Ne
vadan, was involved with the alleged
whiskey ring now being Investigated
by the federal grand jury in San Fran
cisco are termed "all bunk" by Of
ficials of the internal revenue depart
ment
The charges were made Monday by
Mrs. Gladys Warburton, deposed pro-
hibition director, who is said to have
issued numerous permits for with
drawal Of liquors from bonded ware
houses while shewas In charge of the
office.
The vast quantity of whiskey that
found its way into public places In
San Francisco and surrounding cities,
brought about action by the grand
jury under direction of United States
District Attorney. Frank M. Silva.
W. A. Kelly. internal revenue col
leetor at Reno and formerly prohibi-
tion enforcement supervisor in the
western district, was called to San
Francisco a couple of days ago to aid
the investigation.
He was in charge of prohibition en-
forcement when the law first went in
to effect and he was succeeded by
Considine who has been in charge un-
der direction of Justus Wardell, COL
lector since that time.
Mr.. kelly's wide experience in such
matters is given as the reason for his
call to San Francisco at this time to
aid in untangling the trails of the
bootleggers.
Mrs. Warburtons name has been
linked with that of Harry Brolaski,
who is accused of being the ring lead
er OF the bootleggers. Brolaski is
said to have boasted that he had taken
precaution TO protect himself in the
Illicit liquor trade by having competi-
tors shadowed by detective agency.
He met Mrs. Warburton when she
returned to San Francisco after a
brief absence.

'Chas. Fulstone
For Reelection

In this issue will be found the an
nouncement of Chas. L. Fulstone, who
seeks reelection as a member of the
Board Of Commissioners of Douglas
county. The record of Mr.. Fulstone
as member of the board for the past
four years is his best endorsement for
reelection. He has been a progress
i've official and has spent much of his
time in bringing about improved con-
ditions of county affairs, especially in
road building. It was through his
efforts that that new road building
machinery was purchased enabling
work to be carried on with far less
expense an dgreater efficiency than
under the old scheme. It was through
his activity that the federal govern
ment was induced to pay up to $2O,-
900 mile for the building of the new
cement highway through Minden and
Gardneryille, the only plan under
which the work could have been at
tempted without placing heavy
burden on the tax payers of this
county. Mr.. Fulstone is also one of
the best posted men on taxation In
this state and through his knowledge
OF this he has been able to present
facts and figures to the state board OF
equalization and bringing about a big
saving to many taxpayers. He is a
keen busines man, alert to the present
day needs of Douglas county and If
reelected as member of the board
of commissioners will continue to
give the taxpayers the best that is in
him.

for many years, died at the Stewart

with the other Indians of that Sec

1he registration for the general
election shows an increase of ap-
proximately 100 names over the list
for the primary election held in Sep
tember.
At the general election two years
ago less that $50 votes were cast I'm
the East Fork precinct but from the
increase OF registered voters this year
II seems likely that at least 375 votes
Will be cast in this precinct. AT the
election two years ago the community
was In the grasp of on influenza cpl
demic. which accounts for the ex-
tremely poor showing made at that
time. II has been stated that lack of
interest In the election two years ago
was responsible for the low vote cast
but such statement is not borne out by
facts
If one was to judge from the SEEM
ingly Indifference displayed by the
voters at this time, and the lack of
political interest being displayed, the
vote to be cast will be exceedingly
light. People are no longer carried
of their feet by spell-binders. but
carefully select their candidates from
their own choice and then forget about
politics until 1t comes time to cast
their ballots.
In the local fights for county offices
very little is being said or done and
while II Is fact that office seekers
are now making the rounds of the
county, they are making a clean cam
paign, and no such thing as mud
singing is being indulged in by any
OF the aspirants to public office, a
condition that is admired and com
mended by the voters in general
