DAVlDL. JONES
ANNOUNCEMENT

In this issue will be found the poll
teal announcement of David L. Jones,
Republican candidate for short term
Commissioner. Mr.. Jones has no op-
position in the primaries and for that
reason his name will not appear on
the primary ballots, but he has oppo-
sition at the general election.
He is the son of one of the early
day settlers of Carson Valley, the
late David l.. Jones, and was born
and reared in this county. His long
residence in this section has given
him an intimate knowledge of the
needs and requirements of Douglas
county and II elected as member
of the board of county commissioners
will give the best that is in him in
furthering an economical administra-
tion of county affairs. Mr. Jones also
has a few ideas of his own relative
to road construction, especially bridge
approaches. and through them be-
lieyes that he can save the county a
considerable sum of money. This is
the first time that Mr. Jones has
sought public Office and he earnestly
solicits your support.

GEO. F. TALBOT
FOR REELECTION

Judge George F. Talbot. annunce-
ment Of whose candidacy for the
non-partisan Office Of justice of the
state supreme court appears else
where In the Courier, will not be
unfamiliar with the duties of the
office he is seeking II elected by the
people at the forthcoming elections.
Judge Talbot served two terms of
SIX years each on the supreme bench.
He had been district attorney of Elko
county for two terms and district
judge Of the same county for two
terms more before sitting In the
higher court.
His experience fits him perfectly
for the office he seeks.
He is at present a referee in the
adjudication of water rights in the
Truckee Meadows and although these
duties are taking considerable of his
time he hopes to be able to make an
active campaign before the ballots
are cast in November. That he will
be one of the two candidates chosen
at the primary election is almost a
foregone conclusion.

ABSENT VOTER
IS HIGH PRICED

Considering the small number of
ballots that will be cast by absent
voters at the primary election to be
held In Nevada next Tuesday, It is
estimated that this is possibly the
most expensive feature of the direct
primary law. made and provided by
the last legislature.
The supplies for this feature of the
law, will cost Douglas county In the
neighborhood Of SIS. according to an
estimate made by County Clerk Jep-
sen. Among the supplies are forty
sets or rubber stamps and ink pads,
five sets of heavy manila envelopes,
and affidavits galore. Thus far
County Clerk Jepsen has not received
any requests for ballots from absent
voters and the time Is now too late.
The condition that exists In Doug
las county relative to the absent
voter phase Of the primary law, is
probably no different than that Of
other Nevada counties, and after all
is said and done this part of the
primary law is an expensive piece Of
bunk.

LAST BALL GAME
PLAYED SUNDAY

The ball game played here Sunday
by Fallon and Gardnerville promised
to be big league stuff until the fourth
inning, when the home team went to
pieces while In tight place, and
from that time on were unable to
hold the visitors down, the final score
being II to 5.
This is the biggest lead that the
home team has allowed during the
entire season and lack of team work
Of Gardnerville is responsible for the
showing made by Fallon in Sundays
game.
There is no disputing the fact that
the Gardneville team had several
mighty good individual players, and
the team as whole, played good
ball, until placed in dangerous posi-
lion, at which time they went to
pieces. Nearly every game lost was
the result of "blow-ups" and lack of
team work at critical periods of the
game.
Sundays game was the last to be
played by the home team this season
and before next summer the boys
hope to overcome their acknowledged
weak points by early training next
spring.

CROP HARVEST
in FULL SWING

Work of harvesting and stacking
the second crop OF alfalfa In Carson
Valley Is under full swing this week
and on number of the smaller
farms the crop is already in the
stack. Farmers report the yield to
be normal, and owing to the lack of
rain, the crop is going into the stack
in splendid shape. weather conditions
being ideal for curing hay.
Along with the harvesting of the
second crop of alfalfa, the farmers
are being kept doubly busy cutting
and threshing wheat, barley and oats.
The acreage of the latter crop Is
comparatively small, while wheat pro-
duetion leads over the barley crop.
On nearly every Carson Valley
farm of any size, and where grain is
raised in any quantity, will be found
threshing outfits operated by small
tractors, and this week threshing
crews are hard at work in all parts
of the valley. The yield of both
wheat and barley is reported to be
above the average and of good
quality.
Considerable first crop alfalfa has
already been baled and steady ship
ments to outside points have been
going on for the past number OF
weeks.

CHAS. FULSTONE
RIDES BRONCHO

Charley Fulstone of Jacks Valley
now shows no Ill effects from a re-
cent painful experience with a buck
Ing horse. Fulstone was about TO
make trip to distant flume to
make some repairs and had decided
TO travel ON horseback. He had
mounted his horse and with the reins
on the animals neck, was getting
few boards arranged In the crook of
his arm when things began to happen.
The rumpus was started when one of
Fulstone's dogs bit the saddle horse.
Witnesses declare that Charley failed
either to grab the reins or to get his
feet in the stirrups. and that while
the bucking exhibition was in pro-
gress he was really a human churn.
He had partaken freely of rich cream
and strawberries shortly before the
barnyard episode ending in his short
flight through the air and landing
with great and painful force.-Carson

D. ". VIRGIN
GIVES HISTORY

Attorney Dan Virgin, eighty-seven
years young, the dean OF the bar of
the state Of Nevada. who speaks of
territorial days as If they were yes
terday, spent few hours in town
last week from his old Genoa home.
The old man, keen and bright as
OF fifty years ago, was in mood to
recount the days Nof the last century,
and wittily told of his battle for
hum life with Senaor Cole of Cali
fornia, who at the last meeting of
the Bar Association in San Francisco.
was one OF the speakers at the great
banquet.
Senator Cole is nearing the hun
dred year mark, and the coming
month will herald that event Sena-
tor Cole represented the State Of
California in the United States senate
in the days of Lincoln. The Senator
travelled on the same train with Lin
coin to Gettysburg and heard the
martyr president deliver that famous
Gettysburg speech.
Dan Virgins maiden criminal case
was tried with Senator Cole and
three others of the prominent attor-
neys OF that day on the side of the
prosecution. while Virgin had been
appointed by the court on the de-
tense. The case was one wherein
hanger on Of the Sacramento fire.
houses had been arrested for the
murder Of several parties, it heirg
charged that he had set fire to
building In which several were burn
ed to death. The legal battle went
on for several days and resulted in
Judge Virgin so impressing a part
of the jury that they refused to
convict and the case was never tried
again.
He came to Genoa when Genoa was
the big city of Nevada, and for years
he was the only attorney there. Cases
were many and fees were large.
Drinks were twenty-five cents each,
and each had many a day. The
streets Of Genoa were crowded night
and day with teams of every descrip-
tlon carrying the vast amount of
| freight across the continent. His first
case in the territory was a divorce
case. since which time a half million
or more divorces have been granted
In the state. However, the gallant
old gentleman denies that he was in
any way to blame for the vast num-
! ber.
He arrived in Genoa about four
O'Clock in the afternoon and spent the
evening helping the sheriff plant cab
bages and talking over the outlook
for a lawyer in the territory.
A wealth of Nevada history ia in
the possession of the grand old man
and some enterprising journalist
should gather for the future the tales
that he can and will willingly tell.

LITTLE CHILD
CALLED BY DEATH

One of the saddest happenings that
has taken place In this community
for some time was the death of Irene,
the little four-year-old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Park of Minden,
Thursday evening.
The little girl had been a sufferer
of septicemia for about seven weeks
and all that loving care and medical
aid could do was administered to no
avail. Slowly she began to sink and
for many days lay at deaths door.
Irene was the only child of Mr..
and Mrs. Park and her death is
doubly hard, as it leaves a place that
can never be filled In the hearts of
her parents.
The funeral was held Saturday
from the Lutheran Church, Rev. P. II.
Felten officiating. Interment was in
the Garden cemetery.
The entire community extends to
the heart-broken parents their pro-
found sympathy, in this hour of
trouble.
The following lines of poetry ex-
presses the thoughts of the heart
broken parents of little Irene Park:
She left us In the bloom of youth
Just like a flower fair;
In all her lovliness to bloom
In splendor, over There"
But the spirit never, never dies;
We think Of her today
Enjoying richest blessings,
In land not far away.

nerville Wednesday morning from an
attack of heart trouble and other
complications.
Deceased. who spent the past five
years In Los Angeles in the employ
OF a large cracker and confec tionery
manufacturing concern. came to Gard

MONO RESIDENT
PASSES AWAY

Wash Brandon. one Of the best
known residents of Mono county and
for many years identified with the
business interests of Bridgeport, pass
ed away at his home at that place
Tuesday. according to word received
in Gardnerville Wednesday morning.
Some months ago Mr.. Brandon suffer-
ed stroke Of paralysis and was
taken to San Francisco for treatment.
Physicians there gave his relatives
no encouragement for his recovery

to his home at Bridgeport.
Deceased for many years conducted
a hotel at Bridgeport and also en-
gagged in freighting and had the repu-
tation of being one of the most ex-
pert single-line teamsters In this part
Of the country. When motor trucks
were put on the road, Mr.. Brandon
had little faith in the future develop
ment Of that mode Of transportation
and often predicted their failure to
make good. He was the last team
ster to take his freight outfit from
the road and continued In business a
number Of years after the advent of
the motor truck.
Wash Brandon was as big hearted
q man as ever lived and had a host
Of friends not only throughout Mono
county, but In Western Nevada where
he was widely known.
Deceased was about 81 years OF
age and Is among the last of the
pioneers that took active part in the
development Of agricultural and busi-
ness interests of Mono county.
