SPORTS
AT Old GENOA

Last Sunday Genoa became
mecca of winter sports and nearly
one hundred people of that town and
Valley points enjoyed day of coast
ing and skiing on the steep mountain
side near the historic old town.
Youngsters hastily made snowshoes
from barrel. slaves and on this inn
provised runners were able to de-
velop as much speed in sliding down
the steep track as grown-ups on
factory-made skis. The mountain
is covered with a heavy fall of snow,
the crust of which was frozen and
afforded excellent snow-shoeing.
Many of the young ladies present.
who at first lacked the nerve to at
tempt slide down the mountain on
skis, later develped the necessary
courage to attempt the feat. A few
were able to make the trip in safety,
but majority of the novices took
headers In the snow and rolled down
the hill.
Frank Walker, sixty-four years Of
age, proved to be the peer of all the
skiiers, and did many thrilling
stunts and was wildly cheered by the
spectators. Mr.. Walker has lost none
of his skill as an expert on snow
shoes. a feat he acquired in his
younger days. Several of the younger
generation present Sunday, who be-
lieved that they were topnotchers on
skis feared to follow Walker in his
daring leaps down the steep noun
tain side.
Those that believed skiing too
thrilling to attempt, were content with
coasting down an excellent track
laid out by the ever hospitable Genoa
people.

FOR ELECTION

list of voters, representing those
that will be entitled to cast their
ballots at the coming special elect
ion to be held In Gardnerville on

ed by the county clerk. At this

eral election are privileged to register

An adequate sewer system is one
OF the greatest needs of this town
and has been advocated for the past
several years by leading citizens and
property holders, but because of war
conditions was deferred until a more
favorable time During the past year
there has been big decline In all
materials as we'll as labor and the
property holders are now anxious to
have the proposition come to a head.
The proposed sewer system calls
for three main laterals that will
serve practically every home in town.
Provisions are also made for the pur-
chase of suitable tract of land up
on which will be built a large con-
crete septic tank and such other
equipment for altering and purifying
the water that will prevent pollution
OF any stream that 1t may enter after
leaving the sewer system.
The petition that was presented to
the board of county commissioners.
calling for the special election carried
large majority OF the property hold
ers OF this town, and II Is believed
that the proposition will receive an
overwhelming vote at the coming
election.

Skeeters Declare
' Open Season on
Canary.Legs

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Mos-
quitoes this summer, invading
New York in unprecedented
numbers, have found a new vic
tim in the domesticated canary.
This was learned yesterday
when a reporter took his pet
songster to a hospital for treat
ment for what appeared to be
a battling malady.
The canary had not sung for
several weeks and was restless
at night, twitching constantly
and standing first on one leg,
then on the other, like a stcrk.
"Don't worry" smiled the
woman doctor at Virginia Pope's
sanitarium. "It's the mosquito.
He's taken a fancy this year
to canary legs. We have hun
dreds on the three floors of our
Institution. Every bird hospital
in New York is filled with the
victims. We estimate that Nere
than 100000 birds have been
attacked" -
She conducted the visitor into
a room filled with cages, in
which each of the occupants
had its spindle legs neatly ban
daged.

For information.
Ry International News Service.

While railway executives and
union leaders continued to differ as
to the condition Of motive power on
the railroads, the Senate promised
to intervene and call for informa-
ton from the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Senator Cummins CRep) of Iowa
announced today he would ask the
Senate to Immediately pass the
Harrison resolution, calling on the
Commission for this information.
Reports reaching me-" said Sen.
ator Cummins, indicate that the
number of bad order locomotives
is increasing more rapidly than the
fifty inspectors the Bureau Of Lo-
comotive Inspection Of the Inter.
state Commerce Commission has at
it's disposal can possibly keep up
with.

present condition Of locomotives
and all railroad rolling stock should
be made public"
The Association Of Railway Ex-
ecutives denied today that there Is
any increase in the number of bad
order or defective locomotives as a
result OF the strike. In a formal
statement. II said defective locomo-
tives on all roads on July Is, 1922,
totaled 1874. as compared with a
general average Of slightly less
than that number for the last six
months Of 1921.
The accuracy of the Associations 6
figures was questioned by railway
union officials, who asserted the
Associations figures were refuted
by the last annual report Of the 1.
c. c. for 1921, which listed the per.
centage Of defective locomotives at
so per cent.

the Geological Survey announced to-

Production for the week was esti-
mated at 4.250, 900 tons. as compared
with 3,933, 900 tons last week.
Anthracite production this week

Detailed records Of shipments
from each district indicate that up
to today the mines responding to
President Harding's invitation to re.

the coal supply of the country.
There has been practically no in.
crease in output in any Of the strong.
ly organized districts, and the in
crease in shipments from Pennsyl.
vania and from the Fairmont and
Kanawha districts have not been
large.
The increase, said the survey, is
due to improved car supply and not
due to the reopening OF any mines
that have been closed down since the
strike.

PARIS, Aug. 5.--A Lew French
note, replying to q German eon,-
municstion received during the
morning, went forward to Berlin
this afternoon. revealing the new
sanctions" (penalties) which
France is imposing upon Ger
many to enforce payment Of pri-
vate loans and indemnity. They
are financial in character, not
military.
French "ShelI' . Dud.
The French "highcaliber shell" 4"
which was to have been exploded
against Germany with the expiration
Of the French ultimatum OF July
2S, has turned out to be a dud. The
new measures which France Is i'm
posing relate only to Alsace and
Lorraine, and were not nearly so
stern as had been anticipated.
The French note said, in part:
Replying to the dilatory response
Of Germany. France takes the fol.
lowing mes sures to safeguard the in
terests of Paris and Strasburg
(capital Of Als4ee-Lorraine):
"First-Recognition Of German
credits to be suspended.
"Second-No credits are to be
granted Germany for the sale Of
sequestered German property.
No Notice Of Sales.
"Third-Germany win not be
notified Of the sales OF the prop
erty, making II impossible for
Germany to recompense tho
owners.
Fourth Suspend arrange
ments Of Germans in Alsace by
which they were to move their
property into Germany.
"Fffth - Instruct banks and
other creditors IN Alsace-Lorraine
owing money to Germans to sus-
pend payment and to hold such
sums for requisition by the
French"
The German note had stated that
Germany took the view that com
pensation to private creditors was
inseparable from reparation5 and
that no arrangement could be made
regarding this issue without an
agreement with Great Britain and
Belgium.
Immediately after the German
document was received Premier
Poincare and other members Of the
cabinet took 1t under consideration
and a reply was penned immedi
