Memorial Day was fittingly observed
in this Valley last Sunday. At Genoa
the graves were beautifully decorated
and many people spent the greater
part of the day there.
At Gardnerville, the American Le-
gion conducted exercises at the Card
en- cemetery. The soldiers formed in
procession at Odd Fellows hall and
headed by the color guard marched
to the cemetery, under the command
Mel Anderson. The soldiers stopped
at the graves of the civil war and
Spanish war veterans, decorating the
graves and then proceeded to. the
grave of their fallen comrades. Mel
Anderson delivered splendid address
and concluded by pledging the sup
port of the American Legion to the
United States. Miss Blanche Haug
ner then recited Lincoln's famous
Gettysburg Address" giving a brief
prelude to the circumstances sur
rounding the occasion. Duane Ever
EFT, chaplin of the Post offered prayer,
and Edwin Miller stepped forward
and placed wreath on the grave of
the dead. Then the clear silver notes
of taps" sounded and hush came
over the hundreds of people who had
gathered to assist In the ceremonies.
and with bowed heads they reverently
paid homage to the departed.
From early morning until late in
the afternoon people were at the GEM
eteries decorating the graves of the
dear ones with beautiful blossoms and
the city of the dead was transformed
into garden of flowers.

CALIFORNIA MEN PROTEST
AGAINST BEE QUARANTINE

California men who claim that they
wish to bring their swarms of bees to
this state and engage in the bee in
dustry have lodged protest against
the existing quarantine with Governor
Boyle. The restrictions against bring
ing bees from other states have been
in force three years and the Calf
ornians claim that conditions should
have improved by this time to the
point that further quarantine is un.
necessary.

ASSESSMENT WORK TO
BE REQUIRED BY LAW

Bills designed to suspend further
assessments on mining properties in
the United States and Alaska were
voted down today by the house mining
committee. The law requiring the
claimant to do one hundred dollars
worth of work on each project year
was suspended three years ago be-
cause of the labor shortage.
The proposal for Alaska mines con-
templated suspension of the tax for
this year only, but another measure
provided for permanent lifting of the
tax, both in Alaska and the United
States.

Feeling that the commencement ex-
ercises at the high school Is an occa-
sion that should receive the support
of the people of this community, both
picture houses In Gardnerville have
signified their intention to close on
that night. thus eliminating all coun-
ter-attractions, an act that Is highly
appreciated by the faculty and pupils
OF the school. The show houses will
also remain closed Sunday evening
the night OF the baccalaureate SER
vices. which are to be conducted joint
ly by Rev F. H. Menzel of the Luther
an Church and Rev. p. II. Willis Of
the Methodist church.
Members of the graduating class
have sent out some four hundred invi-
tations and it is expected that the
auditorium will be packed because
of the great interest being shown by
the people of Carson Valley In high
school activities. The graduating
class Is made up OF young men and
women from ali parts of the county,
AS the class roll accompanying this
article will show.
The term just closed has been one
of the most successful in the history
of the school and the plendid manner
in which affairs of the institution have
been conducted reflect much credit to
the county board of education and .he
efficient corps OF teachers In charge.

In spite of the fact that the Dutch
colonial home is over a century old
and was brought over by our ances-
tors, it is as popular as 1t has ever
been, If not more so. Originally this
type of home was found in the East,
but in the last few years many colo
NAL homes have been built in western
communities. It's chief attraction lies
IA its Quaintness, rOominess and hos
pitabie appearance. This gives it the
charms that never fail to appeal.
The modern colonial home contains
all the innovations of building art and
stands as a link between the modern
age and the days that have passed.
Who could wish for a more attrac-
tive home than the one shown here.

WATER LILIES IN PROPULSION
Shaw Aquatic Gardens Near Washing
ton Are One of the Sights of the
National Capital.

One of the beautiful sights of Wash
ington is the Shaw aquatic gardens at
Kenilworth, now threatened with de-
struction by the Anacostia reclamation
project. The gardens, commonly
called "the water lily farm" lie across
the Anacostia, above AnacOstia island,
close to the district boundary line. A
car runs from the treasury TO the ham,
let of Kenilworth, from which quar-
ter-mile walk brings one to the clus-
ter of pools or small ponds constitut-
ing the farm.
The gardens. says the Christian Sci
ence Monitor, are the result of the en-
terprise of w. B. Shaw and his daugh-
ter. Mrs. l.. Helen Fowler. Their
market extends from Portland, Me-,
to Macon. Ga, and west to Chicago.

They are irregular in shape, bordered
by weeds and willows and separated
by bikes six to eight feet wide. Ex-
cept for their angular outlines they
might be natural.
Nature, however, never produced in
one spot so many kinds of water lilies
rs varieties-with such an amazing
range of color. Purest frOst-white, all
imaginable pastel tints, blues, yeliOws,
pinks, deep carmines, royal violets
and puppies. with various shadings
and combinations, are found here dur
ing the season. In size they vary
from the tiny Siberian water lily
(pymaea), no larger than quarter, TO
the white virginalis, ten inches In d.
ameter. By some mysterious time
sense, each variety opens and closes
at its own hours between dawn and
dusk, except the night-blooming lilies,
which open after dusk and should be
visited by moonlight.

Garden $3.50 Feet Hioh.

One Of the most extraordinary
botanical gardens in the world Is that

This garden, established by the late
rector Of the hospice, NJ. Chanoux,
comprises specimens of practically all
mountain fora, whether it grows in
the Alps. the Balkans. the Carpa-
thians, the Caucasus, the Pyrenees,
the Himalayas or among the noun
tains of America, Japan and New Yea
land.
II was begun in 1892, but was not
actually ready fer inspection until
1897 when the rector Of the hospice in
