Johnny Nagle On Deck.

A game is not a game unless John ny Nagle is in the spotlight. Johnny
 furnished about 50 per cent. of the excitement. He participated in every verbal spat in the game and re- ceived the usual honors from the
 Razz Chorus. The Nagle ''goat'' was
 captured in the 14th. With Simp-
 son resting on second base after
 cracking out a two-bagger, Bornhoeft
 purposely passed 'tScrappy John." and
 the latter was real mad for a time. But, Johnny passed up another chance in the 18th, when he famed
 with two on the bases. Nagle, how
 ever, played a great game behind the
 bat, and was a, great help to Fortune
 winning the game.
 Both teams had opportunities to shorten the contest several times be- fore the 18th, but brilliant fielding came to the rescue of the twirlers. Kingdom and Tommy Miller dazzled the fans by several pyrotechnical
 catches

Cat, T7ax For Derbies

Might as well put the blame
 on yesterdays downfall of the
 Brown Derbies after 16 innings of
 fight on the stray cat that stroll
 ed on the diamond in the first
 part of the 16th. The cat came from the direction of the Spring. field dugout and made its way { out to Barney Bornhoeft. 'Bar- ney'' is bit superstittous, halted
 in his dueitS, picked the cat up
 and tossed it over the third base
 lines. But the cat was stub-
 born and refused to retreat. and
 bounded back toward BOrnhoeft,
 and cross the diamond.

 shrieked a high tensioned Derb
 rooter in the stands"
 Bornhoeft lost the game in a due with Gary Fortune. The local fling CT seemingly had the best of the ar gument, holding himself together tighter and getting into fewer holes than his opponent.

LAKE LAH0NTAN
HISTORY IS TOLD.

Z Tracing the history of Lake La
hontan to its origin, Prof. j. C.
Jones gave an. interesting talk on
the old lake from geological
standpoint, at a recent public meet
ing in Reno, according to the Reno
Gazette.
Prof. Jones said he first became
interested in the history of Pyramid
lake and Lake Lahontan when the
government started drilling for
potash in the Black Rock desert
and at Fallon. Previous reports
on the lake indicated that it had
once been salt water and this led
the government to start drilling
for potash, but later discoveries
and studies of various formations
indicate that such was not the case
and that Pyramid lake, which is a
remnant of Lake Lahontan is the
remains of fresh water lake.
Lake Lahontan was at its height
800 to 1000 years ago, said Mr..
Jones, when it covered an area of
1922 square miles of territory, ex-
tending from the northern boundary
line of the state, as far south as
Walker lake, and took in Honey
lake, Pyramid lake, Winnemucca
lake, the Carson sink and the Black
Rock desert. During that period
the rainfall was about twice that of
the present time.

SHERIFF RANDELL ASKS
FOR ASSESSOR SALARY

The final outcome in the contro-
versy between the Lyon county
board of commissioners and Sheriff
Randall regarding the payment of
the assessors salary for the past
year, is being watched with consid-
cradle interest, says the Mason Val
ley News. In bill passed by the
session of 1918-1919 legislature
consolidating the offices Of the
sheriff and assessor the salary clause
was never revoked. Sheriff Randall
at the January session of the board
of county commissioners handed in
his bill in the amount of $3.50 for
salary for 1921 and January of
1922. The board took no action on
the bill and have written Attorney
General Fowler for an opinion on
the matter. 1t is understood that
Sheriff Randall has been advised by
attorneys that he can collect the
salary.

OFFICIALS
GIVE MOONSHINE FACTS

According to the Industrial AL
cohol Division of the Prohibition
Commissioners department, there
is an organization engaged in whole
sale treatment of denatured alcohol
for the purpose of converting it into
bootleg" whiskey. Denatured al
cohol can be purchased in the open
market without restriction for 35
cents a gallon and this organization
purports to nullify the poisonous
character of the alcohol by chemical
treatment.
Government chemists have ascer-
tanned that the process of changing
denatured alcohol into so-called
whiskey requires the use Of either
bi-chloride Of mercury, lysol, for
maldehyde or some similar disin-
fectant, and after this process is COM
pleted the fluid must be colored,
and, in order to do this, iodine is
being used in many instances, as
well as lead, copper and zinc poisons.
The resultant is liquor which,
although it closely resembles grain
alcohol in color and odor, neverthe-
less contains enough of the poison
Gus elements of wood alcohol to be a
serious menace to the life of those
who take chance in using it. In
addition to the poisonous elements
of denatured alcohol which remain
in the liquor, the poisonous ingre-
dents used in transforming it seri-
ously affect the tissues Of the body.
According to the government in
dustrial alcohol division, the liquor
thus produced does not kill or bring
about total blindness Immediately,
as does the pure wood alcohol, but
it attacks the nerve tissues and
digestive organs in such a way as
to produce total paralysis within a
year or two and eventually blind
ness and death.

USE OF GYPSUM
ON LAND ADVISED

Application of salts of calcium,
iron and aluminium to lands where
the soil has been hardened by aka
Ii, is recommended by the United
Statets department of agriculture
in bulleti MUST issued. Irrigated
lands in Nevada are not troubled
to a great extent with alkali. The
bulletin is as follows:
IAN important result of the in
vestigational work in irrigation ag-
riculture carried on by the United
States department of agriculture
during the past year has been the
discovery of the cause of the hard
ening of irrigated lands. Satisfac-
tory measures for remedying this
trouble have been worked out in
many sections of the irrigated west
where the problem has been very
serious.
'In some cases desert soils, suit
ably located for irrigation have been
found to be so impermeable to wa
ter as to be useless for crop pro-
duction. In other cases lands have
been irrigated. for a few years and
have become increasingly difficult
to- good into good filth and in con-
sequence have become unproduc-
tive.
"This hardening of the soil is
primarily due to the action of salts
of sodium carried in the irrigation
water. The difficulties occur in
cases where the proportion of soda
salts in the irrigation water is rel
atively high as compared with the
salts of calcium. Corrective appli-
cations of salts of calcium, iron
and aluminium are used. Of these
the best known and most generally
available is calcium sulphate, COM
monty known as gypsum or land
plaster. Where the difficulties of
hardening and impermeability are
not very serious, application of land
plaster may prove decidedly bene-
fetal. But where the land is very
hard and impermeable, it may be
necessary to use aluminium sui
phate. The effect of land plaster
is limited by its low solubility, since
it requires 60 parts of water to
dissolve one part of land plaster.
aluminium sulphate, on the 9TH
err hand, is more soluble, requiring
only about three parts of water
to one of aluminium sulphate. The
beneficial effects of the sulphates
of calcium and aluminium appears
to be due to the fact that the cal
cium and aluminium unite with the
dissolved silicates in the soil to
form inert and insoluble compounds
These silicates, when united with
the sodium have colloidal proper
ties, which appear to be the chief
cause of the difficulty in hardening
and impermeability."
