HIGH WATER IS
ANTICIPATED

Because of the continued cold
weather the snow in the lower alti-
tudes that feed the Carsan river, has
not melted as rapidly as under nor
NAL condition, and with the advent
of sudden warm weather, many be-
lieye that the run-off will be re-
sponsible for some exceedingly high
water this spring.
The highest water in recent years
was in March 1907 when warm
rain of several days duration follow
ed heavy snowstorm. At that time
many of the bridges in this Valley
were swept away and and train serv-
Ice was out for a week or more.
Those who have made somewhat of
a study of the situation, declare that
a sudden warm spell will in all
probability. bring some exceedingly
high water. In this event, 1t is de-
clared that there are several bad
places on the East fork of the Car
son river, where high water may
cause the river to leave its natural
channel and cut new waterway.

NO PROJECT FOR
CARSON RIVER

Technical features to be consider
ed in the Spanish Springs reservoir
project and adjustment of matters
connected Herewith were taken up
at Reno Wednesday between reclama-
tion service representatives and state
officials, says the News.
Power requirements in the district
affected by the proposed development
were discussed at length. Edison
Adams, president of the Nevada Val
ley Power Company, Engineer L. II.
Taylor and Attorney George L. San
ford participated in the proceedings.
The point most interesting and
significant to this section brought out
at the hearing yesterday was the in
dication that reclamation service
plans contemplate or make allowance
for no further development along the
Carson river. Accordingly, the area
irrigated from the Carson river is
now at its maximum acreage, which
is approximately $4,000.
Work of pouring the concrete
foundation for the Helberg garage
building started yesterday morning.

BUT G992 AUTOMOBILES ARE
REGISTERED IN NEVADA

The first quarterly report giving the
list of registered automobiles in the
state is just off the press and shows
that Nevada had 6992 registered cars
on April l. In addition to 200 that
were operating under an exempt"
number plate. But 251 motorcycles
had obtained licenses and f1fty-seven
licenses had been granted to dealers.
The registration figures compare
favorably with those for the same
period last year, but is about 700 less
than on April l, 1920.
That there is a great number of
machines still operating in the state
without having secured license for
this year is indicated every day on
the streets of various towns and
cities and last years licenses are
still in evidence But with various
municipalities passing license ordi-
nances 1t is thoughht by officials that
few will get by this year without
paying the required feet.

AT
LAKE TAHOE

Harry Oakley, caretaker at Phillips
Station, reports that the snow is ten
feet on the level at that point, with
twelve feet on the summit and seven
feet of snow at Meyers Station. He
contends that unless the roads are
shoveled and blasted out they will
not be open to travel before the
10Th of June.
Chas Young reports that there is
still two feet of snow at Bijou, but
the warm weather of the past few
days is melting it rapidly. There is
four feet of solid snow onthe Kings
bury summit at last reports.
Mr.. Chiffon, manager of Tallac, is
expected to arrive today at that re-
ort with a crew of men, who will
put the buildings in shape. for the
opening, June 18th.
The Lakeside Park property at
Lake Tahoe was this week sold to
F. Correr of Oakland J. P. Kelley.

BAND CONCERT
WELL ATTENDED

The band convert given at this
place last evening for the Eagles
band of Carson City, was largely at
tended and was thoroughly enjoyed
by all. Prof. Smith, conductor of the
band is deserving of considerable
praise for the splendid showing made
by Carson City's musicai organiza-
tion, now being fostered by the
Fraternal Order of Eagles.
Following the concert, a program
of motion pictures was given, after
which the floor was cleared and the
band played for a social dance.
The people of Carson City have
always showed a splendid loyalty to-
ward the band, realizing that such an
organization is a worthwhile adjunct
to the well being of any town.

According to announcement made
yesterday Carson Valley Day will be
celebrated at Minden on Saturday
June 10th. Carson Valley Day has

MOUNTAIN LION
RAIDS FARMS

Driven from its mountain retreat
by hunger a large mountain lion has
made several raids on ranches on the
west side of the Valley during the
past week or so. Last Saturday
Ernest Bokelman, whose farm Is a
short distance above Sheridan, notic-
ed the animal in the field below his
house. At first he believed that ii
was dog, but with the aid of a pair
of field glasses found that 1t was
mountain lion. Taking a rife Mr.
Bokelman sought the lion, and by the
time he left the house the lion cross
ed the road and went into an old
cellar. Finding nothing there the
lion came out and started for the
mountains. Mr.. Bokelman fired one
shot at the lion but missed
Mountain lions have been seen and

one has been daring enough to come
down to the Valley in search of
food.

LUTHERAN CHURCH NOTES

The Easter festival was flttinely
observed In the Lutheran church with
special festival services both morning
and evening. In the morning serv-
ices the pastor took for his subject
the greeting of the risen Savior:
Peace Be Unto You," and showed
what manner of peace the Savior
brought and to whom this peace is
granted. The Risen Son of God
brought peace from the three great
disturbers. sin. tribulation and death.
But this peace is granted only to
those who trust in the risen Savior
with the full strength Of their faith.
The subject for the evening sermon
was: IF man die, shall he live
again? Science, philosophy, spiritua-
lism cannot answer this all-important
question. satisfactorily. They can
only speak of possibilities and prob
abilities. The real seeker after truth
is satisfied only with facts. These
the Christian religion alone can give
him. In the dead, but resurrected
Lord the Christian religion has a
witness who alone can bring expert
testimony, the only man that ever
was dead and returned again from the
grave. His death as well as His
resurrection is proven by nsmerous
witnesses. Hence the Christian re-
ligion answers to the question: "1f
a man die, shall he live again." with
out an ''if'' or but" he shall. The
sermon closed with an appeal to live
unto that eternal life. which alone is
attained by faith in Him. who says:
Il live and ye shall live ALSO"
Two beautiful boquets of Easter
lilies were placed upon the altar
by Trinity Ladies' Aid and testified
mutely but lovely of life after death.

SUPER. PICTURE AT THE
REX THEATRE SUNDAY NIGHT

Conflict" Priscialla Deans first
Uniyersal-Jewel picture since the
memorable Reputation" will be seen
at the Rex Theatre on Sunday even
ing. 1t rings true to its name from
beginning to end, for II is brimful Of
excitement, suspense and the un-
certainty which go to make up a
superior picture.
The story was written by Clarence
Budington Kelland and appeared seri-
ally in the Red Book magazine. Under
the direction of Stuart Patton 1t has
been handled in capable and wholly
efficient manner.
The story deals with young girl,
Dorcas Remalia, who is forced from
a life OF ease and luxury to one OF
unhappiness and uncertainty. Under
the strict surveillance of Miss Labo,
her uncle's hosekeeper, she is thrust
into an atmosphere of hypocritical
piety. Unhappy and rebellious, she
gradually senses the impending evil
which is slowly creeping upon her.
A beautiful demonstration OF a
woman's live for her sweetheart is
found in this picture. which will last
long in the memory of every audience.
There is a great deal OF food for
thought in the character of John
Ramaile, who. under the pretense of
religion, develops into a religious ia
natic whose idea of piety reeks of
sham and hypocrisy. He fools him
self worst of all into the belief that
he is religious, for he lacks all under
standing OF human nature and has
smothered the natural love for his
fellowmen by his false beliefs and
standards.
The result of the clashing of differ
ent temperaments brings about some
highly dramatic situations which are
promised to causes the audience
thrills of a new and distinct type.

HEAVY Loss OF
LAMBS In STATE

Though the lambing season has not
progressed to a point where sheep
owners can get a direct survey of the
situation, 1t is estimated that the loss
es this year will be extensive due to
the late pring and the inability of
sheep to get feed on the lambing
grounds to provide milk for the
lambs.
In the eastern part of the state,
where general lambing has not start
ed yet, ii is expected that the losses
will not be extensive. unless the
weather continues cold, but in this
vicinity and the northern part of the
state losses will beheayy.
The sheep went through the winter
in good condition generally, but the
late storms made it impossible to get
to the lambing grounds and the con-
tinued cold weather is holding back
the range feed, according to reports
received by Vernon Metcalf, secre-
tary of the live stock situation.
]. NJ. Fulton declares that reports
received by him indicated lambing
loss of twenty-five per cent
Visitors from eastern Nevada dis
eussing the present weather condi-
tions state that there is more snow
on some of the ranges now than there
was in April /. 1890, which was the
year of the big storm that swept
over Nevada and caused great loss on
the cattle and sheep ranges.
In order to move sheep quickly by
train at rate that would make 1t
possible for sheep owners to use the
service both the Southern Pacific and
Western Pacific railroads have asked
the interstate commerce commission
for permission to name lower freight
rates on sheep. The Southern PACING
announced recently that such a re-
quest had been made and the west
ern Pacific had made similar requests.
The rate would be only temporary
and would represent about twenty
five per cent cut from present rates
on sheep, 1t is understood
The sheep men usually drive their
flocks from the ranges to the lamb
ing grounds. Y

ACTIVITIES AT
HIGH SCHOOL

The class in Agriculture have been
favored recently by having Mr.. Barr,
the state director of Vocational Agri-
culture, visit their classes, and, judg-
ing from his attitude he Is very well
pleased with the way the agricultur-
al work Is progressing here. DR..
Baker. also recently gave talk on
the diseases of dairy cattle and stres-
sed especially contagious abortion
among the herds of the Carson Val
ley The Doctor gave some very con-
structive hints as to the proper care
and elimination of this disease. Mr.
Fowler, who is a veteran carpenter
of Gardneryille, also spent an after
noon with the boys in their farm
shop and gave them splendid in
struction in the proper ways of
sharpening saw.
On Friday and Saturday of this
week, the class with their instructor
expect to visit some of the up-to-date
ranches around Reno. They expect to
see some well equipped dairies and
also probably some modern poultry
plants. 1t is hoped that trip of
this sort will stimulate a desire on
the part of the boys to later build
proper buildings and get the right
kind of stock on their farms.
High School News Items
The Seniors are wearing their new
class pins, d. H. S. '22 and are cer-
tainly proud of them.
A much needed improvement Is be-
ing made this week. Carpenters are
at work fixing the front door of the

and so comply with the laws of most
states regarding public buildings.
Another Improvement is being car
ried out this week, too The County
Commissioners have a crew Of men
filling the street in front of the high
school building between the side
walk and the concrete highway. The
commissioners are to be commended
for taking this step which will re-
