PROTESTS PERMIT
OF RENO STAGE

Reno parties have made application
to the public service commission OF
Nevada for permission to operate an
automobile stage between Reno and
Bowers Mansion. Guy Dewey, through
his attorney, Geo. A. Montrose. has
filed an objection to the granting Of
the permit, and the following letter
explains the situation:
Public Service Commission, Car
son City, Nevada. Gentlemen
We have been informed from out
side sources-nothing by direct
order of your commission, that an
application, or applications have
been made, for certificate of
public convenience as a common
carrier, to transport passengers
to and from Reno to Bowers Man
sion, upon the same route as is
covered by Guy c. Dewey In GER
tificate already granted.
Mr.. Dewey made application to
carry passengers to and from
Reno and Gardnervilfe and inter-
mediate points. This was granted
in part only, the intermediate
point request being denied. Now,
to grant certificate to anyone
else to carry passengers to Bow
ers Mansion from Reno and not
allow Mr.. Dewey to do the same
would be granting unwarranted
favors to one and discriminating
against another; therefOre, un-
less the same privileges be grant
ed to Mr.. Dewey to carry passen-
gers to other points, Mr.. Dewey
will have to protest the granting
of the certificate.
May this letter be considered as
protest covering the above
statement?
Kindly inform of the date of
hearing of the above matter that
I may appear in person.

UPPER CLASSES
GIVE FRESH|ES
Z ROUGH DEAL

The upper-class girls of the Doug
las county high school became imbued
with the college spirit this week and
as a result the freshies were taken
out and hazed. They we're dressed up
In all sorts Of outfits and several boxes
OF paint were used to complete the
makeup. 1t was all Joy for the
upper-class girls and humiliation for
the freshies, for short time at least.
Inasmuch as the freshmen class out
numbered the hazers, they later de-
cided that all was fair In school and
war. and thereupon swooped down
upon the proud and exalted upper
class girls and hal little difficulty in
returning the compliment, as conipli-
ments are measured In such cases.
Tuesday. the boys of the freshmen
class came from their high school
work with their faces covered with
shoe blackening and an interchanging
of wearing apparel, much to the de-
light Of the citizens who happened to
be on the street and the upper-class
boys.
I'VE expected it." remarked one of
the lads. "and some day we Will be
upper classmen and what we don't do
to the freshies won't be worth think
ing Of"
So. in spirit OF fun that makes
high school life worth while, the
freshies have taken their medicine and
VIII await the opportunity to give
back what they have taken
The sixty or more students at the
local high school are getting down to
hard work at the beginning of what
promises to be one of the most sue
cessful terms. They are showing keen
interest in their assignments and the
teachers are exceedingly we'll pleased
with the work already done by the
students.

NEVADA MAY LOSE
BIG DAM PROJECT

State Engineer j. G. Scrugham was
here Saturday and a special meeting
of the chamber of commerce was
called to give him an opportunity to
present his views of the Boulder Can
yon dam project as he sees its status
at present, says the Clark County Re-
view.
According to Mr.. Scrugham, the
outlook for Clark county and Nevada
in general, getting a square deal is
not particularly bright. Owing to the
stronger influence which Los Angeles,
the Edison company, or southern
California in general are able to ex-
ert ON those in authority, II is likely
that they will be able, one of them,
to get in on the project to such an
extent that they may be able to sell
the power cheaper on the Coast than
1t will be sold here, Immediately ad-
jacent to the point of development.
This will mean that industries re-
quiring power will be persuaded to
the Coast, to the detriment of Nevada,
which is entitled to first considera-
tion and should be in a position to Of
fer more advantageous rates. In the
meantime. the Clark County chamber
of Commerce is doing the best 1t can
and has the loyal support of State
Engineer Scrugham.

Arbuckle Witness
Apprehended Here
DIR. Beardelee, 81. Francis House
Physician, Found by Local
Officers at Mlnden

Although far removed from the
scandal arising from the death OF
Virginia Rape in the rooms OF
Fatty" Arbuckle at the st. Francis
hotel in San Francisco, every detail OF
which is being spread over pages of
the daily press, a local tinge has
filtered its way to Douglas county.
Last Friday Sheriff Nielsen received a
wire from District Attorney Brady OF
San Francisco to be on the lookout
for DR.. Beardelee, house physician OF
the st. Francis hotel, who had left
the city and was supposed to be on his
way to Mono county on a hunting trip
The physician was an important wit
ness for the defense and his presence
was wanted in San Francisco.
Sheriff Nielsen found that DR..
Beardelee had arrived at Minden in an
automobile and after spending the
night there had left for Bridgeport.
This information was telegraphed to
San Francisco and the officials of that
city later wired Bridgeport and the
doctor, upon being notified that his
presence was wanted in San Fran
cisco, left Immediately for the Coast.
Dr. Beardelee. according to reports,
was not aware of Miss Rappe's death,
having left the city the day previous.
He was not trying to hide. as reported
but was on his annual hunt in Mono
county, as the guest of Judge Parker
of Bridgeport.

CLEANUP SQUAD
SAY STRAUSEN
IS SANE

Upon the request of his attorney,
|P. II. McCarran, John H. Strausen,
ex-service man held in the Douglas
county Jail on the charge Of murder
ing c. P. Pellor short distance south
of Gardnerville on August I, was
taken to Carson City last Monday in
the company of Sheriff Nielsen and
District Attorney Brockliss to inter-
view the cleanup squad" sent out
by the government to adjust claims
for compensation from veterans OF the
World War.
1t has been claimed since Strausen's
arrest that he was a sufferer from ef-
fects of gas and a gunshot wound re-
ceiyed in action, said injuries having
a direct bearing on his present cir
|cumstance.
According to reports received from
Carson City. the physician who made
the examination declared the wound
to be superficial, and that no lung
trouble could be detected. He also
asserted with positiveness that Strau-
sen is in good physical condition.
Regarding his mental condition they
could not determine anything abb
normal, and because of lack of out
standing symptoms did not feel JUS
titled in recommending an examina-
tion of the man by specialist, stating
that any action in this respect would
have to be initiated by Strausens at
torney. The advisability of this phase
of the case will be suggested to the
division chief, it is understood.
1t Is said that both the Carson City
and Reno Red Cross Chapters have
been approached with request for
financial aid in Strausen's. defense,
but in both instances 1t was deemed
inadvisable by those in charge and the
plan did not materialize. Also, It has
been learned that the same matter
was taken up with the executive COM
mittee of the American Legion state
Organization, but that body being con-
WINGED that Strausan is. and has been,
receiving fair treatment. refused to
participate in any way in the ac-
cuseds defense.

WATER ASSURED
BY DECISION
Of FALL

The Alpine Land and Reservoir
Company, which owns a chain of stor-
age reservoirs In Alpine county, and
which is composed of farmers of Car
son Valley. has for the past number
of years been engaged in enlarging the
storage system, but with no assurance
that they would not be molested by
the federal government, due to the fact
of prior rights to the flood waters be-
ing claimed by the government. While
no interference has ever been made,
the venture was considered more or
less doubtful, and to proceed beyond
the capacity Of the reservoirs at the
time the government appropriation
was made, seemed a height of folly.
However. on his recent visit to Ne
vada, Albert Fall, secretary Of the In
terror. gave his promise that the flood
waters of the Carson river, beyond
what was required for the Fallon prof.
ect, would be restored to the farmers
of Carson Valley. With this assurance
from the secretary of the interior, and
with the knowledge that the water
sheds of the Carson river furnish
flood waters far in excess of what can
be stored in the Lahontan reservoir,
the Alpine Land & Reservoir company
has decided to enlarge their storage
system at this time. and a force of
men are at work raising the dams on
two of the lakes which will greatly
increase their storage capacity. AL
though the company has no great fund
with which to carry on the work, the
funds available are being expended
to the very best advantage and In a
way that means much to the farmers
of Carson Valley.
While no attempt is being made to
furnish water with which to reclaim
arid lands, the work being carried on
by the Alpine Land and Reservoir
Company guarantees owners of cul-
tivated lands sufficient water to ma
ture crops, especially after the nor
NAL flow Of the river has reached a
low stage In the last part of the sea-
son.
During the early season, the Carson
river, In normal year, runs bank-full,
but in August and September, when
water is badly needed, the flow d.
minishes to point where the most
careful distribution is required to ma
ture crops. II is then that the flood
waters stored in the reservoir are re-
leased and accomplish such great good
In this valley.
This Is the present work of the AL
pine Land and Reservoir Company, but
1t is predicted that within the next
few years, under the ruling of the
secretary of the interior, the scope of
this company will be greatly enlarged
and through the Carson Valley Irriga-
ton district long cherished dream
will be brought to realization and
through an adequate storage system
all of the land of Carson Valley will
be brought under cultivation. 1t Is a
big undertaking. one which will re-
quire much study as we'll as capital,
but the problem will be solved and
carried to successful completion now
that the federal government has given
its sanction and removed certain OBJ
during the past twenty years.

ASK PROTECTION
OF TAHOE FOREST

A movement has been started by
those interested in Lincoln Park, Lake
Tahoe, to secure better fire protection
for themselves and the whole south
and east end of the lake, says the Car
son Daily Appeal
Just why the new forest about the
lake has not been destroyed is a won
der and a matter Of luck, as campers
have pitched their tents for years
without restraint of warnings, and
while several small fires have been
fought out, several tracts have been
destroyed, and that more serious de-
nudation OF the forests have not hap
pened Is the wonder.
Correspondence with the forestry
division Is being carried on and a
promise of personal visit with a
member of the bureau is proposed.
The idea is to include that portion
OF the forest border from Glenbrook
to Bijou. or to connect up with the
forest scouts and fire patrol on the
California side. This can be done at
a small expense to the individual
holders of land about the lake, and II
any concentrated effort can be assured
federal aid will be forthcoming.
A forest fire along the shores of
Lake Tahoe would be a ruination. 1t
is practically all second growth. and II
one wishes to see what a fire will do
In second growth he should observe
the devastation above Woodfords on
the Markleeville road 1t is simply a
barren waste.
II has taken the people of this sec
tion long time to realize that they
have something worth while at Lake
Tahoe. which Is destined to be the
peoples playground. The move is
started for mutual protection. but 1t
also needs mutual assistance to put
1t over

Entries Pour In For Great
Campaign For Five Trips to
Seaside, Mountain and City

Nominations in the Times-Record-
er's big circulation-gettlng campaign,
in which five trips will be awarded
to those young ladies receiving the
highest number of votes, one jim
each of five districts, are pouring
in, and the first list, with the vote
standing, will be published Monday.
A large number Of entries in each
district is indicated, and to each en-
trant will be credited $4,000 votes
as an entry bonus.
Some of the entrants have already
gone to work to win the chief prize
for their respective districts. Several
have already secured their initial
years subscription or equivalent un-
der the rules, thereby winning the
100000 extra votes, which go to ev-
cry entrant when she turns in her

The campaign has met with wide
appeal. The thought Of being
member of a party of five young la
dies, with a woman chaperone to look
after their interests and safety, with
a week of pure delight at the sea-
shore, in the mountains and in the

FACES 7TEST FNEXT WEEK
BATTLE ROYAL
in PROSPECT ON
INCOME TAX ACT
Bahnsen Scandal OF
Last Year May Be
Revived

ATLANTA, July Especial. -
With the convening of the general as
sembly Monday, one of the most in
teresting weeks sessions is expected
to start, owing to the fact that Gov
ernor Thomas w. Hardwick's admin
istration will face a serious test be
fore the house committee on appro-
priations where the graduated in
come tax measure will be under the
fire of debate, and an attempt will
be made to have the sensational re-
port of the investigating committee
of State Veterinarian Bahnsen's de-
partment presented to the new law
makers.
After failing in his effort to have
the appropriations committee favor
ably report this income tax measure
Friday afternoon, Representative
George Carswell, Roor leader of the
Hardwick forces, will stage deter
mined battle Tuesday to secure the
recommendation, while the opponents
of the bill are equally firm either to
hold it in the committee room or
give it an unfavorable report.
This is the measure upon which the
governors entire program of tax
reform hinges, and should it fail to
secure a recommendation Tuesday,
indications are that the house and
committee will be split into factions
and scenes of bitter Legislative con-
troversy encountered. Governor
Hardwck has a strong floor leader in
Carswell, and is depending on him to
bring the measure from the COM
mittee.
The Bahnsen scandal" was one
of the sensations of the last session,
and the report, said to find him gull
ty of serious charges, never was pre-
sented. Following the policy of the
chief executive to clean house," sew
eral members are expected to intro
duce join resolution asking that the
report be furnished the new assem-
bly,.
The state veterinarian is under the
department of agriculture.
