GASOLINE TAKES
SHARP ADVANCE
Standard Oil Company Advance
Price and Gas Will Retail
at CSC per Gallon

e. Robinson, district representative
of the Standard Oil company was in
Gardnerville Wednesday and gave no
tice to the dealers in this section that
the price of gasoline had advanced
and y cents per gallon. The advance
in the price of gasoline did not come
as surprise since it was announced
on the coast several days ago that
the price would aviate.
Gasoline has been retailing in Gard
neryille during the past several
months for 35 cents per gallon and the
new price which goes into effect I'M
mediately will be 3s cents per gallon,
according to dealers.
AS yet other oil companies that are
represented here, have not announced
an advance in price, but in all proba-
bility such announcement will come
within the next few days.
1t is predicted that the shortage OF
gasoline will reach a peak during the
last of July or the first of August, and
from sources it is reported that the
price in this section may reach 80
cents per gallon.

TIOGA ROAD
NOW OPEN
First Automobile Tourists Ar
rive from Yosemite Valley
This Week

The Tioga Pass famed as the east
ern gateway to Yosemite Valley open
ed to auto travel a few days ago with
the arrival in Gardnerville of several
parties of auto tourists who were the
first to make the trip over the route
this year. With the exception of sew
eral drifts, the road is reported
to be in splendid condition.
Whether or not that auto travel
over this scenic highway, which is
conceded to be one of the finest in
the west, will be as heavily travelled
as last season depends wholly upon
the gasoline question 1t is reported
that in many parts of California the
shortage of gasoline is aecute and that
this condition will prevent many
tourists from making vacation trips

ORDER PLACED FOR HAY
PRESS AND EQUIPMENT

At meeting held by the stockhold-
ers of the Carson Valley Hay and Pro-
duce company last week. it was d.
cided to purchase a modern hay baling
outfit. complete with tractor and other
needed equipment, and the order for
the machinetry has alread been
placed.
From the fact that two presses that
have been operated in Carson Valley
for some years past, were recently
taken to Fernley by the owners, the
Hay company found 1t necessary to
secure press of ther own.
During the past few weeks orders
for hay have been pouring into the
Office of the Carson Valley Hay and
Produce company and from present
indications the demand for Carson Val
ley hay will be far greater this year
than it has been for several seasons.
In many parts of California the hay
crop is a failure, and dealers there
are depending upon Nevada for much
of their hay for the coming fall and
winter.

HEAVY RAIN DOES
DAMAGE TO HAY
TO BE HEAVI-
EST JUNE RAIN IN AT :.
LEAST TWENTY-FIVE
OR MORE YEARS

What is contended to be the heaviest
June rain to occur in Carson Valley
in at least twenty-five years, fell Sun
day night and drenehed this entire
section. damaging much hay that had
been cut and lodging alfalfa that was
still standing. which will make cutting
difficult.
Saturday evening rain fell here for
several hours and Sunday it seemed
that the storm period had passed, but
rain began falling at nine that evening
and continued throughout the night.
1t is impossible to give a vague idea
of the amount of damage suffered by
the farmers of this Valley, but it was
great. to say the least Owing to the
backward season, large percentage
of first crop alfalfa had not been cut,
otherwise the damage would have
been far greater. 1t is not believed
that the growing grain crops suffered
to any great extent.
While there is no denying that the
damage to farmers of this section was
great, the storm was of appreciatable
benefit to stockmen. and has helped
the mountain ranges. Since practic-
ally all of the farmers of Carson VAL
ley are also stockmen. what has been
lost in one way. will be regained in
another, excepting the smaller farm
ers. who are not in the stock business.

SURVEY MADE OF
NEVADA STREAMS
Information Relative to Stream
Flow of Interest to Farm
ers and Others

The Nevada section of the United
States Weather Bureau has just is
sued a seasonal snow survey and fore
cast of stream-fow which was con-
Quoted jointly by the states of Cal
ifornia and Nevada. The following,
appertaining to Nevada streams will
be of interest to the farmers of this
section:
Tahoe Basin-The maximum level
ef Lake Tahoe will probably be 6225.-
81 feet, thus making a rise since
April LIST Of OLA feet. or per cent
lower than the Conservative Esti-
mate" of 6225.93 feet forecasted
Carson Basin-The run-off at EN-
pire for April and May was 54.975
acre-feet Of l55.5 per cent less than
the Conservative Estimate" Since
Empire is situated below large diver
sions for the Carson Valley. the loss
may be due to the increased duty of
water and to the fact that relatively
less water will be available in periods
of low run-off for lands farther down
the stream
Walker Basin-On the basis OF
stream measurements at Coleville on
the West Walker, the only available
gaging station on the Walker above
diversions. the run-off for April and
May was 76,S00 aere-feet or 1873 per
cent above the Conservative Esti-
mate" or 1913 per cent of normal.
Humboldt Basin = According to
stream flow measurements at Palis-
ade, now avail able, the run-off of the
Humboldt River at Palisade for April
and July, in 1888 was lis, $50 acre
feet or 1876 per cent of normal Chased
on ten years measurements, 1902-06
and 1911-1O. On this basis, the
Conservative Estimate" OF this years
run-off for April and July (which was
set at 81 per cent of last years flow)
should be 45.1 per cent of normal
The run-off during April and May
was 59, 700 acre-feet or 46.7 per cent
of normal for the period, thus being
slightly more than the amount fore
casted.
However. the run-off toward the
mouth of the river diminishes rapidly
because of lack of feeders and pres
ence of semi swamp lands.
This fact together with the lack OF
sufficient winter flow to fill the stor
age reservoirs in the Lovelock Valley
has accentuated the shortage OF water
in this district
Except in the case of reservoirs, no
close forecast can be made of the
run-off during August and Septem-
ber for the relative amount is so
small that 1t is greatly affected by oc-
easonal precipitation. In general,
however. the amount varies from 5.15
to per cent of the annual run-off
Owing to the fact that the snow
supply in the mountains was relative
ly small the present season and must
be exhausted early despite moderate
temperatures, the run-off during July
will undoubtedly be much less rela-
lively than the Conservative Esti-
mate" for the season as a whole.
