When, the work now under was is
completed. the Douglas Milling and
Power company will have one of the
most complete hydro-efectric power
plants in Western Nevada. The pres
ent capacity of the plant will be tri-
pied which will enable the home COM
pany to accept much new business
which has been impossible in the past
because of the limited amount of pow

In erecting new concrete building
to house the plant, 1t was deemed ad-
visible to select a site some two hun
dred feet below the dam In order to
avoid any possibility Of overflow from
the spill way reaching the plant. The
water from the dam is carried to the
new power house through two i'm
mense redwood pipes. 1t Is expected
that the new plant will be in complete
operation by the first of June.

those that were not able to be pres
ent at the last Communion Service.

WATER MEETING
TO Be HELD

Although the farmers of Carson
of Carson Valley are deeply concern
ed over the adjudication of water
rights, the owners of town property.
particularly those of Gardnerville, are
giving the matter little attention, and
in a majority of cases, feel that the
matter should rest as it stands today.
This contention decidedly wrong and
should matters bel eft to go by the
boards. in later years every property
owner of this town will regret his
lack of interest.
While it is fact that 1t would entail
considerable expense for each indi-
vidual land owner to take the proper
procedure to have the water right of
his property adjudicated, it is a fact
that it can be done collectively at a
very nominal expense 1t has been
suggested that the property owners
of Gardnerville call meeting for the
discussion of the appointment of a
trustee through whom all of the town
water rights. including those of the
Ezell ditch as we'll as the Jepsen ditch
could be adjudicated collectively. This
will necessitate the surveying or plat
ting of the town, important step that
has been neglected ever since Card
neryille became town. From that
map proceedings for adjudication can
be taken up.
A few property owners, who feel
that this is matter or more than
ordinary interest, have asked the
Record-Courier to call a meeting for
Monday evening. May 10th at the JUS
tice court room for the purpose Of get
| ting the views of the property owners
of Gardnerville. Ii it is found that a
majority of them are in favor of TAX
ing steps for adjudication of the water
rights and selection of trustee, steps
lated for the protection of present
rights. The State Engineer has CIV
en- his sanction to such procedure and
it is advocated by those who are suf-
ficiently acquainted with conditions.
In the event that the farmers of two
or more judicial districts are involved
in a matter of adjudication, the two
judges of the district select a Judge
to hear the findings of the state engi-
neer and render the final decree.
Notice of hearing is given to all water
users and they are given the right to
file information with the court.
II is understood that no vital change
is to be made over the Chandler Ind
ings.

MOTOR CAR
HITS AUTO
c. H. Sprin9mever Has
Narrow Escape and
Auto Damaged

Chas. Springmeyer had a narrow
escape from serious injury Saturday
afternon when the V. & T. motor car
hit his automobile and threw it into
the ditch along the side of the railroad
track. Aside from bruises, Mr.. Spring
meyer escaped unhurt. but his auto
mobile was badly damaged.
Mr. Springmeyer had been to Min
den and attempted to cross the rail-
road track on the crossing that enters
to his sons ranch. The motor car
was coming from Minden on its return
to, Carson and was travelling in the
same direction. An automobile was
approaching Mr.. Springmeyer and be-
ing bent on making the turn without
colliding with the car he did not hear
the motor car. When he saw the
motor 1t was too late to stop before
reaching the track, and Mr.. Spring
meyer opened the throttle in an en-
deayor to avoid the collision. Mr..
Petersen, who was in charge of the
motor car. applied his breaks, and
did everything possible to avoid strik-
ing the automobile. The motor struck
the automobile and had it not been
for the fact that the latter was near
ly over the track the accident would
have undoubtedly fatal. The force of
the impact tore the rear wheel and
fender from the machine and threy
It with Its driver into the ditch, with
the results as stated above.

Sheldon Case Has
Bearing on the
Pickford Divorce

n NTitc Vi HdUtds corpus WAS tate
yesterday afternoon issued by the su-
preme court in behalf of William Shell
don on application of his attorney.
Augustus Tilden. Sheldon was few
days ago arrested on a charge of sub
ornation of perjury In a divorce case
At the request of the district attor-
ney of Washoe county the writ was
made returnable June 7th when the
several points to be decided by the
court will be argued Owing to the
Importance of the questions involved
it is desired to have them thoroughly
briefed.
Sheldon was given a preliminary
hearing before justice of the peace
at Reno last week on a subornation
of perjury charge but was discharged,
the justice holding, in effect, that the
perjury, If any there was, had to do
with the matters not connected direct
ly with the grounds alleged for the
divorce. He was rearrested on a
bench warrant issued by Judge Luns-
ford. Under yesterdays order he will
be at liberty under $500 bonds.
Floyd Weaver, who is wanted by the
Washoe county authorities on per-
jury charge arising from the same
divorce case. has successfully resisted
extradition to this state, the Califor-
MIA officers preferring, 1t is said. not
to surrender him on an information
filed by the district attorney. instead
of a grand jury indictment.
Mrs Weaver sued for divorce, hav-
ing Sheldon as her attorney. 1t is
alleged that Sheldon advised the TAX
ing of steps that resulted in the CON-
ing to this state from California, of
Weaver. that personal service might
be had and the granting of the divorce
expedited Mrs. Weaver finally be-
came doubtful of the legality of the
proceedings and wrote a letter of in
quiry which resulted in the arrest Of
Sheldon and the attempt to extradite
Weaver.
II is suspected In some quarters that
the Fairbanks-Pickford influence Is
back of both Weaver and Sheldon, as
certain points that will of necessity
be passed upon In the Sheldon case
especially bear directly on the case
instituted by the attorney general Of
Nevada against Mary Pickford and
Owen Moore 1t is generally consid-
cred that II the supreme court should
take the position that there can be no
collusion in divorce case that false
testimony on jurisdictional matters is
wholly innmaterial. the action against
Moor and his one-tiIne wife can not
stand.
Although ample time had elapsed
the attorney general has so far re-
ceived no return from the registered
letters enclosing complaints sent to
Owen Moore and his co-defendant in
the annulment suit. Neither has
reply been received from the commun-
ication sent to the sheriff Of Los Ange-
les requesting him to get personal
service on the parties named. It is
possible, however, that todays' mail
will bring something of interest in
this connection. Should personal SER
vice be secured appearance and ans
wer In the Moore case many not be
required until the Sheldon case is
argued and possibly decided by the
