justment company, the company or ganized by the depositors of the old Valley Bank of Phoenix at the time of its failure in 1914 to realize as much as possible on their deposits, the officials of that company an nounced yesterday that the final dis tribution of something more than 5 per cent probably would be made in August
 A brief history of the Valley Bank Adjustment company and resume of what it has accomplished for the 2,500 depositors is contaned in the leaflet which accompanied the checks mailed yesterday. It is as follows:
 Phoenix. Ariz.. May ', 1921.
 Your board of directors having or derad disbursement amounting to per cent of the face value of the out standing certificates, to the hold CTS of the preferred stock, the checks therefor are enclosed with this cir cular.
 Another disbursement which will be the final distribution, will be made before the summer is over, probably in August It is expected that it will be somewhat more than per cent.

but the precise amount cannot L. predicted in advance The assets which remain to be disposed of are in the main worthless; but there are a few items on which it is expected something may be realized. After re- serving such assets as are known to have some value and on which col lection may be made within the next few months, the remaining assets (of large face value but of no actual val ue and quite generally worthless) will be offered for sale in bulk. Any sum realized therefrom will necessarily be small.
 The depositors of the old Valley bank ('Valley Bank of Phoenix") who with fine public spirit and good business sense organized The Val ley Bank Adjustment company and thereby saved the greater part of their deposits, deserve congratuia- tion on this outcome At the outset they got in cash 75 per cent of their deposits. An additional sum of ap- proximately 5 per cent was returned to them almost immediately: and now. with the dividend of today and the final disbursement to be made la ter. their loss is extremely small in comparison with what it would have been had they failed to organize the adjustment company. The alterna- tive would have been a receivership: and under a receivership the de- positors would have sustained heavy loss.
 Some 2,500 depositors of the old bank joined in forming the adjust ment company, and while most of them thoroughly understood the pur poses and details of the plan it is apparent that some of them did not understand, and do not now under stand it. It seems worth while, therefore, to state clearly just what was done to save the situation.
 The depositors who took part in the preliminary investigation quickly found that the failure was a bad one. The one step to take to prevent it from becoming a disastrous failure was to effect some form of reorgan- ization of the failed bank. A very wealthy group of men who already owned other banks in Arizona, whi/h banks were strong and prosperous,
 were approached with requests to look into the affairs of the failed bank with a view to taking it over and reopening it for business. These bankers made a careful analysis of the assets and liabilities of the failed concern.
 They reached the conclusion that of the assets of the failed bank there were notes, stocks, etc, of a face value of SS69.000, which they would
 refuse to take into the proposed new bank. In their opinion there might be realized. in time, from this ,$S69, ,000 as much as s212,000. The remainder of this sSss, 900 would, in their best Judgement, be a total loss. The
 whole sum of ss69,00O had to be pro vided for, however, inasmuch as it was proposed that these wealthy bankers would organize new bank l (The Valley Bank of today) and pay In full the liabilities of the failed bank.
 It was decided by the committee | of depositors and the bankers with whom they were negotiating, that payment of the sS69,000 would be made in the following manner. The capital and surplus of the old

U. OF N. SURPRISE
STANFORD ELEVEN

The University OF Nevada football
team on Saturday gave the members
of the Stanford university team the
surprise of their young lives, when
the Sagehens held the Caiifornians to
IA to IA tie. The Stanford outfit had
expected more or less of 'set-up."
but were lucky to escape defeat. for
Nevada with a few moro minutes OF
play would have undoubtedly put the
game In cold storage. Stanford piled
up IA to 0 lead In the second period,
but the boys from Reno fought right
back and tied things up. All Of which
was due to the sensational work Of
Bradshaw. His end runs and broken
field running we're the features Of the
game. and when he broke away for
45-yard run to q touchdown In the
second period, the stands saw the
prettiest play Of the day. The "Rab-
bit" shook off his tacklers lodged
and squirmed his way to the cardinal
line and planted the ball between the
goal posts before he stopped. From
Stanford's viewpoint 1t was too much

ATHLETIC ASSN.
BENEFIT SUCCESS

The benefit show given at the Rex
Monday night by the student body of
the Douglas county high school, was
greeted by one of the largest crowds
ever to gather at the local show
house, and to say that the students
appreciated the splendid turnout is
to put 1t mildly.
AS one method Of raising funds for
the high school athletic fund, the girls
sold homemade candy, and long be-
fore the show started the supply was
sold out, and twice the amount could
have been disposed of. 1t was not SO
much because Of the generosity OF the
public as 1t was the excellency OF the
candy offered for sale that depleted the
supply.
Besides the special feature picture,
"Other Mems Shoes" the young la
dies Of the high school pleased the
audience with several songs, and la
ter In the evening, Miss Angelinc
Hickey, Kenneth Everett, Henry
Cordes and E. Hoffman sang several
pleasing numbers.
As result of the benefit entertain
ment the athletic association fund was
swelled by a very substantial amount
and the high school pupils feel very
gratified to considerate public.

STILL TAKEN BY
LOCAL OFFICERS
AT PINE NUT

Tuesday Sheriff Nielsen gained in
formation that still was being op-
Grated in the Pine Nut hills, and af-
ter securing the cooperation of Pro-
hibition Enforcement Officers Nash
and Brown of Reno, secured search
warrant and went to the property of
the Pine Nut Power and Development
Company, better known as the
Preachers Nine" eight miles south
east OF Gardneryille, where they ar
rested Babe" Butler and Fred Nc
Grath, whom the officers fourd op-
Grating the still. having in their pos
session more than five gallons of corn
whiskey.
The defendants were given a hear
ing in the Justice Court Wednesday
morning on a warrant charging them
with having in their possession intoxi-
eating liquor in violation of the state
prohibition law. The defendants
waived time and also announced to
the court that they did not require
the services of an attorney. After
hearing the evidence of the officers,
the defendants were bound over for
trial.
Sheriff Nielsen testified that when
he arrived at the mine and raided the
moonshine joint, still, several bar
rels of corn mash in the state of fer
mentation, as we'll as a five-gallon
keg of whiskey, was found in pos
session of McGrath and Butler. The
still was hot when the officers ar
rived, giving evidence of recent op-
Grafton.
During the past summer McGrath
drove motor truck between Minden
and Topaz for the Antelope Valley
Cattle Company of Topaz, and Butler
was employed for some time by the
same company.
Under the state prohibition law no
provision is contained therein that
makes 1t unlawful to operate a still.
and it is understood that the federal
government, through the prohibition
officers, will push this charge against
the defendants.
While 1t is not likely that this is
the only still in operation within the
confines of Douglas county. 1t is the
first one that has been raided by the
officers.

rights, the Dangberg Company will
start work next spring ON storage
system at Hynan Lake, Alpine coun-
ty, Calf, preliminary surveys ON the
project having already been made.
With the expense of approximately
$4,000 1t will be possible to build

The recent federal census revealed
the surprising fact that during the
past ten years the farm units In Car
son Valley decreased rather than in
creased, despite the fact that the new
farm units in the Haybourn tract
were developed during that time. How
ever, during the same period, many
of the small farms In Carson Valley
were consolidated with other hold
ings and the number Of units actually
decreased, instead of increasing.
The more families that can be in
duced to settle In Carson Valley the
better 1t will be for the community
from any standpoint that can be ad--
vanced. 1t will not only mean :
greater volume of business for the
commercial interests, but It will mean
that the land will be made to produce
greater returns than under extensive
ownership. H. F, Dangberg, who has
wide experience in operating extensive
farm holdings, declares that the only

One Thousand Acres Of Rich Land To Be Made Intol
Small Farms Promoters See Brilliant Future
for Valley in This Accomplishment

100 per cent efficiency basis is
through small tracts, and the proper
management. Properly managed, a
ten or twenty-acre tract of farm land
in Carson Valley will not only support
a family, but will be a source of de-
sirable profit to the owner. To prove
this statement 1t is cited that in a
neighboring valley this year, a large
land holder planted sixteen acres to
potatoes. From those sixteen acres
crop valued at $4,000 was harvested
which showed greater profit than all
the rest of his holdings In this issue
will also be found an article from the
Fallon Eagle, written by Mr.. Cline, a
farm expert. He explains what can
be done in raising hogs, and today
Carson Valley offers wonderful oppor-
tunities in this industry.
A thousand-acre tract divided into
twenty-acre farms would mean fifty
additional families brought to this
community, or 5000 acres, $50 fami-
lies. That the Dangberg Company is
now ready to sub-divide this amount
OF their rich farm land. large por-
ticn OF which adje!ns Minden and
Gardnerville. is one of the most i'm
portant announcements that has been
made In recent years, and the COM
pany is to be strongly commended and
heartily supported by the people of
this community for its decision in
taking real step that means 50 much

HELPFUL HINTS
FOR XMAS MAIL

A few holiday suggestions by the
postoffice department regarding the
mailing of small sized cards and en-
velopes are given below for the bene-
fit of our readers, and also as a help
to the department during the rush. of
the holiday season.
During the holiday season large
quantities of very small envelopes
and cards are put into the mails with
the result that all postal work is
very much retarded and mail dis
figured and mutilated.
This is not generally known to the
public and cards below the size of ~
by inches should not be sent for
the following reasons:
l. Addresses will be obliterated by
cancellation mark.
2. Too small to be run through fac
ing table, necessitating three extra
landings with consequent delay not
only to this but other mail.
3. Delay in cancellation because OF
awkwardness In putting through the
cancellation machines.
4. Delayed through difficulty in
sorting.
5. Liability to loss or damage as
small sizes do not fit letter packages
and cannot be tied securely.
These odd and diminutive sized
pieces of stationery have come into
use in the past few years and only ap-
pear now in any quantities at Christ
mas time when the whole postal sys-
tenn is keyed up to top speed and try
ing to keep on top of the load
1t will be greatly appreciated, there
fore, II the public will refrain from
using the above-described stationery,
and thus tighten the burdens of the
postoffice force, and facilitate the de-
livery OF your own mail.

EXPLODING GUN
INJURED BRENZEL
ON HAND, HEAD

Fred Brenzel, member of the Gard
nerville Gun Club, had narrow es-
cape from serious injury last Sunday
morning when a shotgun exploded,
throwing fragments of steel into his
hand and temple, infiicting painful
but not serious injury.
While shooting ducks at the Schacht
ranch, the muzzel of his double-bar-
rled shotgun exploded. tearing away
about two inches of the barrel. Por-
tions of the flying steel struck him
on the back Of the hand, making an
ugly wound. while other pieces hit
him on the temple. At the time of
the accident, Mr.. Brenzel was stand
ing in water nearly to the top OF his
rubber boots. He made his way to
land and DR.. VIM. Howell, who was
also hunting at the Schacht ranch,
gave first aid and then brought Mr.
Brenzel to Gardnerville. where medi-
cal treatment was given.
Mr.. Brenzel has been unable to de-
termine what was the cause of the
accident. but feels certain that the
gun was not choked with mud or
dirt. He is about town as usual and
aside from being unable to work be-
cause Of the injury to his hand, he
suffered no i'll effects from what
might have been a serious accident
had his hand not been in position to
stop the main force of the steel from
striking him on the face or head.
