A young farmer. living near Gard
nerville, drove his automobile into
town a few evening ago and was
enjoying the new paved highway, and
nearing Jensen Company's store was
observed to be footing his horn at an
alarming pace. He reached for his
emergency break and stopped the car
with abruptness. well. I'll be D."

for the reason of his sudden alarm, he
declared that the street marker with

Big Irrigation
ProjectPlanned
SPANISH SPRINGS VALLEY is
DECLARED TO BETTER THAN
LAKE TAHOE BASIN

The surveying party from the Fed
eral Reclamation Service, which has
been at work In Spanish Spring Val
ley just north of this city says the
Sparks Tribune, has found a possible
storage capacity of 100000 acre feet
and underground conditions that make
for entire feasibility of dam construc-
tion, and it is reported that the above
mentioned amount of storage can be
secured by the construction of a dam
that will be modelled very much after
the famed Lahontan dam.
Spanish Spring Valley has long been
considered one of the very best avail
able water storage sites and its prox-
unity to Sparks would mean a great
deal in the future of this city. Such
water storage basin would mean the
reclamation of thousands of acres of
land contiguous TO this city and dis
trict.
II Is believed by those who are
more or less familiar with the water
situation that Spanish Springs will be
the site selected and prepared for
storage within the next two or three
years to take the place of the Tahoe
basin which has been virtually lost by
the government
II Is believed however. that the
Spanish Springs site is even better
than the Tahoe basin The Truckee
river water shed has an annual run
off greatly exceeding the Tahoe water
shed run OFF. 1t Is estimated that the
annual runoff of the Truckee water
shed is 10000 acre feet.
The Spanish Spring storage would
take care of the Fallon and the La
hontan District and In addition would
embrace about 10000 acres on the
Pyramid bench. which has been an
attraction TO settlers for years, and
which needs only the magic touch of
water to convert into the best farming
land In the west.
At the present time there is about
$780, 900 in the reclamation funds a
yailable for the Spanish Spring sche-
me, and as soon as the cooperation
of the water users of the Newiands
project is assured this sum can be
put to work developing the new dis
trict
Such a movement will convert all
the land north and east of Sparks in
TO the finest farming land in Nevada
and will bring thousands of people
to this section to farm the district.
II will likewise enhance values and
make this section of the state the
real garden spot of the west.

MOTOR TRUCK
SLIPS OFF GRADE

A motor truck belonging to Ander-
son Brothers of Gardnerville and
drived by "Slim" Roberts slid off the
grade three-quarters of mile this
side of Loope as six o'clock Friday
evening and the driver had a close
call from being crushed to death be-
meath the heavy truck and its load of
freight.
The trucks had loaded at the Her.
culese mill during the afternoon and
before leaving for Gardnerville rain
storm occurred making the narrow
mountain road exceedingly dangerous
for heavy motor trucks to travel The
first truck passed a bad place In the
road and the driver. Mel Anderson.
stopped and walked back to warn his
driver to be careful. He was too
late however. the second truck having
slipped OF the grade and was lying
bottom side up below the road with
the driver pinned in his cab between
pl6 oOuiucE anu Tic seat. AsSiSt-
ance was near at hand. and 1t was
found necessary to break the steering
wheel In order to release the i'm
prisoned man who was wedged in be-
tween the rock and the seat SO that
he could not move. When released he
was able to stand ON his feet and walk
up to the road. although he was
bruised and suffered considerable
from the shock.
Had the truck tipped over a second
sooner. Mr.. Roberts would have prob
ably been crushed to death between
the boulder and the seat.
The following day the truck was
righted with the aid of heavy blocks
and road built from the canyon to
the highway above and after being
again on the main road it was found
that aside from the smashed cab and
the steering wheel which was broken
OF to release the driver, the machine
was little damaged.

FORTY-NINE DANCE ATTENDED
BY RECORD BREAKING CROWD

The Forty-Nine dance given at Rex
theatre Saturday night was attended
by an exceedingly large crowd, many
people coming from Reno and other
distant towns. The hall was re-
modelled into an exact reproduction of
early day dance halls. even to the bar
and the proyerbial foot rail, but when
1t came to drinks-well it was all diff
ferent. Apple cider was drawn from
a keg labeled "jackass brandy" and
root beer from an old fashioned steam
beer keg. Among the crowd mingled
dance hall girls, cowboys, cow-girls,
gamblers, and buns and few of the
old-fashioned danes, who wore full
length union suits, or something like
that. The crowd was exceedingly
jolly and with the jazz furnished by
Tony's jazzers, everybody had a regular
time.
During the evening a waltz contest
took place. and the judges singled out
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Brenzel of Gard
nerville and Mrs. and Mrs. Chas.
Young of Bijou as being the best Be-
ing unable to decide between the two
couples, the two prizes were split,
Mr.. Brenzel receiving a S. safety raz-
or and Mrs. Young a vanity set
Refreshments were served by the
Women's Auxiliary of the American
Legion and through their work added
nice little sum to the treasury of
that organization.

We Can Elect Cox
South Carolina Democrats Can
Help BY Raising Campaign
Fund

Strong appeal for every Democratic
voter in South Carolina to get behind
the Dollar Democracy movement is
made by John Gary Evans, national
committeeman from this state to Joe
Sparks, director of the campaign. In
his letter Mr.. Evans points out that
"Ohio is Just as safe as South Caro-
lima.
The opinion of Mr.. Evans is based
on his observations while on a trip
thrugh the far west. He declares
that it is the duty Of every Democrat
to give as much as one dollar to help
the party elect Cox and Roosevelt.
A part of his letter follows:
I'VE must get up a good fund this
year and show our faith. Our people
have plenty of money and there is no
reason why they should not respond.
Cox is going to be elected and we
cannot fall behind, as our cOntribu-
tions is the only way we can. help.
Everything looks bright and the
people of the west are enthusiastic.
Ohio is as safe as South Carolina"

Democratic Enrolment
Figures Announced
Large Number Of Names Sur
prising TO Many

Columbia. Aug. iS.--The total
Democratic enrolment for South Car
olina is i48.0O2. according to reports
from all the county Democratic off,
cials, received by III. N. Edmunds Of
Columbia. secretary of the state DEM
ocratic executive committee. Mr.. Ed
munds received reports from the last
counties Tuesday morning. There are
possibilities OF very slight changes in
this total, due to the request made by
Secretary Edmunds for further data
from Charleston county, though there
is. hardly any possibility of the total
being effected materially.
This total is surprising to party
leaders i'm the state. as ii was expected
that the enrolment this year would
fall short of what it was two years
ago. The total enrolment in 1918
was over 14S.0O0. slightly higher than
this years enrolment. Due to the
small interest in state politics. 1t had
been expected that the rolls this year
would show a great decrease I'm the
numbr of names. Party officers are
al a loss to explain the large enroll,
ment except to say that 1t must be
due to publicity given by the press to
the matter of enrolment and the gen
eral interest i'm elections. caused by
the national political situation.
The Australian ballots will be sent
out In few days. The first primary
is on August 81.

Wants Father of Defendant to
Appear Before the Governor

Columbia, Aug 19-Governor
Cooper allowed an extension of time
until Saturday Of this week in the
w. d. Mayfield kidnapping case. and
the executive will probably take final
action on Governor Bickett's extra
dition papers at the end of this week
j. Wesley Crum, of Bamberg, at
torney for Mr.. Mayfield, was in Co
lumbia Tuesday and had conference
with the governor. He stated that the
father of Mr.. Mayfield had just ar
rived from the West and desired to
be heard. Further time was also de.
sired that counsel might look up ad-
ditional court authorities. In answer
to Mr.. Crum's appeal, the governor
stated that he would give him until
Saturday Of this week, but that he
desired to have they matter disposed
Of this week.
The governor will proably have a
second hearing in the matter in his
office Saturday, to hear the court
references which Mr.. Crum expects to
quote, to substantiate his contention
that Governor Cooper should go into
the facts underlying the sufficiency
Of the affidavit supporting the extra
dition warrant. Governor Cooper
has held that he does not have to &c

he is asked to extradite the men from
this state into North Carolina.

Breedin and Henry B. Sandifer. of

of having kidnapped two negro farm
hands from Anson county bringing
them back to Bamberg county, 8. c

forcing them to leave North Carolins
against their will. Governor Bicket
has issued requisition for them ant
