The Fishlake Central Oil is one of
the new companies to enter the Fish
lake fields. Its holdings consist of
2560 acres in the northeastern edge of
the valley, extending into the foot
hills. The company's engineer spent
considerable time in the field before
deciding on acreage, was the further
advised by competent biologists. So
when the selections were made the
company felt assured its holdings
were the best obtainable. The officers
of the company are all Nevada men,
the management being in the hands of
experienced oil and mining operators.
The company has decided to purchase
a standard drilling rig at once. and
this Will be placed in operation at the
earliest date possible
1t is expected by January 1st that
actual drilling operations will be und-
er way. and a sufficient amount of
casing and other supplies will be on
hand TO carry on operations through
ont the winter. Ii is the intention to
start the first we'll with l6 in casing,
and make all preparations to sink TO
any desirable depth This can be ae-
eomplished with a standard rig opera
ted by competent men This company
Is starting operations under very fav-
orable conditions, as 1t has choice
acreage, efficient management and is

LATE CROP REPORT
IMPROVES OUTLOOK

The November crop report, from the
bureau of crop estimates of Salt Lake
City, shows little change in Nevada
crops. Potatoes are the only crop of
Importance in the state for which a
new estimate is made. The yield is
estimated at 172 bushels per acre
compared with $50 bushels last year.
This attributed in part to early tall
rains. Total production this year is
estimated at 100000 bushels. COM
pared with 100000 bushels last year
Last year it was estimated that 64
per cent of the crop was grown fer
market, while this year rs per cent
will be sold.
Reports on corn were very few, but
they indicate a yield OF a3.4 bushels
per acre. compared with 30 bushels
last year, Corn in common with other
grains, shows Il very good quality this
year.

BAZAAR WAS
GREAT SUCCESS

The bazaar, given at the Douglas
County high school last Saturday by

than the one held year ago, and
something like $5500O was taken in

For months past the ladies of the
aid have been industriously sewing
and making articles for sale and their
handiwork was of the highest order,
the articles being offered for sale be-
ing both well made and dainty. and
found ready SALE

NEW HIGHWAY
NOW COMPLETED

The most progressive civic improve
ment that has taken place in this COM
munity In years, is the completion of
of the concrete highway which now
links Minden and Gardnerville, and
when the road is finally thrown open
to travel, the two towns should join
hands and hold an appropriate cele-
bration of the achievement. Golden
spikes have been driven to mark the
completion of railroads and why not
make the completion of the cement
highway that links the two towns, one
to be remembered. 1t is worthy
achievement, a civic advancement that
Is worthy of special attention and one
that should not be allowed to pass un-
noticed.
The contractors pourned the last of
the cement this week and scraper
teams are now leveling and repairing
the road on, both sides of the con-
crete belt. In about three weeks the
concrete will have set sufficiently and
the completed highway will then be
thrown open to travel.
Shall We accept the achievement as
an every day affair or shall We let the
world know that we have taken a big
step ahead and appreciate the splendid
work of our board of county COM
missioners, the state highway depart
ment and the federal government?

Nevada in Need of
Federal Aid for Land

Once In a while there Is a paper
published outside the state that speaks
a few words of kindness and encour-
agement for Nevada One of the lat
est to do so was the Railway and Mar
inc Age of Seattle, Washington, which
spoke as follows:
"The only state in the west showing
decreased population is Nevada. 1t
has also lost in the decade some of its
railroad mileage and much of its pres
tige as a mineral producing state. 1t
shows that careful and continued SCI
entific thought should be given to the
commonwealth by the national gov
ernment. particularly the reclamma-
tion bureau. Nevada can only become
a great state through the development
OF its arid lands. There must be
some solution to the difficulty and the
reclammation bureau can well try to
discover 1t. AS we recall, the Carson
project worked mightychange in that
section. but there are other POSSIBLE
tiles. Nevada has a water surface of
$50 square miles and that water must
be evenly distributed. True, the state
has hundreds of detached ranges
which are barriers to irrigation, but
to preverve the once famous mineral
state no expense nor effort should be
spared The first investigation should
be near the Humboldt river. II
should be utilized before II reaches the
sink and diverted to arid lands in
Northern Nevada. Then in Washoe
county, in the northwest corner, are
ten or eleven lakes, and even IL at
great cost, the water from that section
might be diverted into the little val
leys of the neighboring county of
Humboldt. Owing to the topography
of the country 1t Is mans lob. but
1t is the only thing that can build up
the state and attract a permanent
population. The other states of the
west can afford to aid Nevada in gain
ing this appropriation for its undivid-
ual prosperity will help to solidify
and strengthen the whole section.

cepted and at time convenient to

the Reno Chamber, they will visit
Gardnerviile and lend their assistance

betterment Of the community In
