NEW FIRE HOUSE
FOR MtNDEN
PLAN MEETS WITH APPROVAL OF
ALL; SPECIAL TAX on MINDEN
PROPERTY TO ASSURE COMPILE.
TION OF NEEDED IMPROVEMENT

Some months ago Minden purchased
chemical engine mounted on Ford
truck and fire department was or
ganized. Last Friday night the fire
department and the taxpayers of that
town met to consider the proposition
of building brick building for hous-
ing the fire engine and other equip
ment, which resulted in the PROPOSE
tion receiving the unanimous support
of the meeting. In order to raise funds
for the erection of the new building
IL was decided to recommend to the
board of county commissioners that
they levy special fire tax against the
property within the limits of Minden.
The amount of the tax asked for is 81
on each 500 assessed valuation, and
was granted by the board.
The pressure-water system at Min
den, together with the large mains and
two pumping plants eliminates the
necessity of a power pump such as Is
to be used in Gardnerville. Thus,
with the new chemical engine and
hose cart, that town has an excellent
fire-fightlng outfit. 1t Is understood
that upon the completion of the new
brick firehouse the services of a man
Is to be secured, who will be on duty
at all times, thus insuying that the
equipment will be ready for use in
any emergency.

WANT MAIL TO BE
DROPPED BY PLANE
" Inter Residents OF Lake Tahoe Claim
Daily Mail Service Could BE
Easily Inangnrnted

Resident of Lake Tahoe are con-
sidering the feasibility of applying to
the postal department for airplane
mail service during the winter months,
or during that period of the year that
the roads to that section are blocked
With snow. All of the big mail planes
pass directly over Bijou, and the resi-
dents there want pouch dropped Off
as the plane passes over. 1t would
entail no additional expense to the
postal department and would give the
residents of Lake Tahoe daily mail
service that could be effected in no
other way. Al present the mail Is car
ried to the Lake ON snowshoes from
Truckee, on twice-a-week schedule.
and the hundred or more people who
winter at the Lake are desirous of
having the incoming mail dropped to
them from the mail planes.

ing steps to have a biological trapper
and game warden stationed in the To-

pose of protecting them from unlawful
hunters. The Indians and nonrespec-

slaughtered these animals on various
occasions. according to residents of
White Rock. These unmerciful kills
are made by hunters lying concealed
at water holes, which are limited, un-
til the animals appear, and then kill
them as long as any are In sight.

regret that some of our members are
attending the Lenten services but very
irregularly. II the Savior took time
to suffer for us, should we not have
an hours time on Sunday morning to
mediate upon his sacrifice on the
cross.
u The Sunday School and Confirmation

some twenty years ago and at that
time did considerable work on the
property, but, owing to clouded title,

clear ownership to the ground could
be secured. This has been done and
the development work now being car

1900. 900 YOUNG TROUT WANTED
FOR MONO COUNTY STREAMS

Chas. l.. Hays and Vim. ID. Mac
Nair. who were appointed by the Board
of Supervisors of Mono County to
stock tn lakes and streams with young
fry, received a reply to their request
for 100000 fish from the State Fish
and Game Commission.
The Bridgeport Chronicle in its ar
ticle on the subject has the following
to say:
I'VE are told that we will have 10
get our fish from the Mt Whitney
hatchery at Independence. Inyo Coun-
ty, and that this amount would take
every available young trout that this
hatchery turns out It's too bad for
We could use every single one of the
1000 900 fish and then some.
There are about 2000 fish in can
which can, filled with water and fish,
weighs about l40 pounds. The cans
are Is inches through and about 20
inches high.
THE fish going to the southern end
of the county can come by way of
Benton Station and Laws, but those
going to the northern section will
have to come in by way of Hudson or
Minden, Nevada.
Another phase of our fish situation
might be properly mentioned at this
time.
1T has been called to our attention
that some of the dams across the
river in Mason Valley are built with
brush, with the butt ends sticking
downstream. This absolutely pre-
vents fish from jumping over and con-
tinuing upstream. The larger fish
from Walker Lake, in Nevada, are now
making a run upstream, or are try
ing to get into the higher streams and
lakes for the spawning period. If they
are unable TO get over these dams it is
a natural consequence that both
branches of the Walker River and It's
many tributaries are robbed of mil
lions of young trout, which would very
materially help to keep our streams
and lake restocked.
'Chas l.. Hayes has taken the mat
ter up with Mr.. Gallagher of Yering-
ton, and VIM. ID. MacNair has written
to J. II. Clemens of Reno, Nevada. Ii
is hoped that we may settle this wrong
peaceably by appealing to the sports
manship of those living in the neigh
borhood where the trouble exists
