The road election will be held in

The road election will be held in
Road District No. 5, which comprises
parts of the old seventh and eighth
wards, and takes in practically all of
the territory in the New River Sec
ton not embraced in the other road
districts. At this election there will
be submitted to the properly quail
led property taxpayers, a PROPOSE
ton to authorize the police jury, the
governing authority Of the said dis
| trict, to incur debt in the sum of
S1OU,0OO, and to issue bonds there
for extending over a period of rs
years, for the construction, improve
me1t and maintenance of public
roads situated within the district.
The plan is to gravel certain impor-
tant stretches Of roads in the district
to connect with the roads of the
Fourth Road District on the east; the
roads of the Second Road District
on the west and eventually the gravel
road along the Mississippi river at
Burnside. Two bond elections have
already been held in this district, and
each resulted in the defeat Of the
proposition submitted. This time it
is said that the people are together
and are sincerely desirous of putting
the proposition through and it is gen.
orally believed that the election will
carry by big majority.
The construction of the roads con-
templated in the third district and
those planned in the Fourth, will give
New River network Of gravel roads |
which will connect all of the centers |
of population, public schoolsa and
churches IN that part of the parish,
and will rebound to the material ad- |
vancement Of property values and in
dustry in general throughout the en-
tire section.

TO BUILD
new CREAMERY PLANT


Mason Valley is to have a new
creamery, plans having been COM
pleted last week by the stockholders
of the Ycrington Creamery for the
construction OF new creamery on the
present site of the old creamery. The
new building will be up-to-date in
every respect and new equipment will
be added provided the present patron
age is retained. AT the present time
the local plant is turning out between
eight or nine hundred pounds Of but
ter daily. II this output can be
maintained the creamery can make
many improvements in the way Of
new equipment.
Last year the Yerington Creamery
paid out 100000, which shows its inn
.portance to the community If found
possible to make all the improvements
contemplated, Ierington will have a
we'll equipped plant which will COM
pare favorably with any ii, the state
The new plant will have capacity
OF 1900 to 1900 pounds OF butter daily
which allows for the expansion OF the
dairy industry in Mason and Smith
Valleys.
The contract for the construction of
the new building was let to Fred
Littell oil Yerington The poles for
the construction of the electric power
linc are OH the ground and work on
the extension of the power line will
start soon. The extension of tho
power line south OF Ycrington will
prove OF great benefit to those living
along the power line, practically
every farmer having signed up for
electricity
Professor Y. L. Scott, OF the Univcr-
sity, was called in by the farm bureau.
and, after looking into the needs Of the
local plant drew up the plans for the
new building. The plan presented
by Prof. Scott, with few minor
changes, will be followed in the con
strutcion OF the new building.
The Yerington Creamery turns
out an excellent grade OF butter and
the business is increasing. A ready
market for all the butter turned out
by the local creamery is found in Ma
son Valley, Tonopah and California.
'Dairying is one of our most important
industries and the construction OF the
new creamery is step i'll the right
direction.

NO SCORE MADE IN
.YER|NGTON GAME

By holding the heavy and ex-
perienced Reno high school eleven to
all 90 score, the Yerington football
team last Saturday sprung surprise
on thee other members of the high
school league, and particularly on
Reno, the latter having come here
confident Of their ability to run UP a
heavy score.
The game, which was one OF the
most hotly contested ever played on
the local field was witnessed by a
fairly sizeablc crowd. but the at
tendance was not any too encouraging
to the players who depend largely on
the gate receipts to defray expenses.
The game was played without any
particular advantage to either side,
the ball seesawing from one end OF
the field to the other. with players on
both sides playing strong defensive
game when their respective goals
were threatened. Rcno's best chance
to score came in the third quarter
when the ball was on Yerington's one
ward line. where it was held for three
downs in spite Of the fierce attack
by the referee OF the Reno players.
At this point Reno was pcilalized 10
yards by the referee. the ball went to
Ycrington OH downs. and the chance
OF the visitors to score was lost
Ycrington's best chance to score oc-
Cured in the same quarter when
Powers intercepted forward pass.
and was stopped on the tcn-yard line.
A forward pass, Lcavitt to Baldini,
failed. and the ball went to Reno on
downs.
The local players arc confident they
have an excellent chance of winning
the state championship this year.
Always respected by other teams
for their fighting spirit the boys have
this year added experience and weight.
Weak espots in the line,fp have been
strengthened by the return OF Rcymers,
Martin and Vernon Lcavitt.
On the coming Saturday 4crinston
goes to Lovclock for return game
with the boys whom they defeated
here a week ago.
