GOLCONDA BRIDGES
ARE ENDANGERED
High Water in the Humboldt River
Threatens to Isolate Town from
Territory for Which 1t IL
Distributing Point

The Pinson bridge, crossing the
Humboldt river six miles east of
Golconda, and Iron bridge, spanning
the same stream in close proximity
to Golconda, are threatened by the
flood that is now running down the
Humboldt valley. The dirt fill that
leads to the Pinson bridge was par
tally destroyed by the water last
night, and all forms of traffic closed.
This bridge ordinarily serves the
Gold Circle district and other COM
munities north from Golconda.
Both approaches to the Iron
bridge are now covered by the
Humboldt and it is believed that the
next day or two will witness the
abandonment of it's use until such
time as the flood recedes, which will
mean that the Golconda district will
be bridgeless.
To fill the void thus occasioned
it is planned at this time by Col
conda residents to direct traffic
across the Stall dam structure,
where a possibility exists, but must
be attended by great care by the
automobile driver because of the
narrow roadway presented.
The Humboldt river reached the
9.5 feet stage today at the bridge
in this city, which is said not to
equal the high mark of last runoff
season, although observers further
assert that the river currents of
last year enlarged the channel and
that though the water gauge here
does not show SO great a maximum
height for the flood that hydro
graphic figures indicate volume of
water flow considerably in excess OF
that of last year.

GOOD ROADS MEETING
TO BE LARGELY ATTENDED

The good roads convention to be
held in this city June 9-10 has
aroused widespread interest because
of the opportunity that will be Of
fered business interests in the great
inland empire to get together and
evolve new plans for building high
ways. 1t now seems certain that
between fifteen and twenty automo-
bile loads of boosting people will be
here from Nampa, Ida., about one
hundred of the same kind of folk
from northeastern California, while
many other communities in Oregon,
Idaho, California and Nevada will
be represented at the Winnemucca
convention.
Humboldt County Chamber OF
Commerce authorities are entirely
satisfied with the result of their
initiative in this important matter
and are moving to make it the most
successful good roads convention
held in this state.

SHEEP LOSSES NOT
GREAT AS FEARED
Reports From Various Sections of
County Indicate That Winters
Exactions We're Not Great
as Reports Indicated

1t now becomes evident that sheep
losses for the winter of 1922
were not as great in this county as
was generally supposed when winter
was making its final effort. Isolated
instances of heavy losses were given
a general application entirely out of
accord with actual conditions and
the approaching shearing season is
bringing the bands together and
making evident the fact that the
gloomy forebodings of short time
back were largely unjustified. 1t is
a fact, however, that toll was ex-
acted by the cold and inclement
weather that held over into the
spring that is larger in the aggre-
gate than is usual in this county.
County Assessor C. G. Smith, now
engaged in making assessments
throughout the county, stated re-
Gently that when his rolls recording
sheep ownership are complete and
a comparison with last years figures
thus made possible, the actual sheep
losses in the county will become
manifest in accurate sense for the
first time. Banking circles have re-
ports from clients in practically all
parts of northern Nevada and it is
from these that the statement has
issued that sheep losses were much
exaggerated.
Shearing operations will start at
Golconda tomorrow, forming the
first general activities of the kind
to occur in this county. The bands
belonging to Gil Prida, A. E. Kent
Company and Stall Bros. will be
sheared in the order given, after
which the shearers will move to the
northern part of the county. Within
a few days the wool harvest VIII be
on in full blast.

ATHLETIC FIELD
/. PROPERLY NAMED
H. C. H. s. Student Body Honors
Its Principal by Fixing His
Name To the Area Whers
Athletics Will Occur

Some high school principals are
martinets and direct more or less
successfully in an impassive and
inhuman manner, while others have
facility for getting the best out
of their charge by creating an in
centive in the mind Of the youth
that is founded on respect and love,
remaining always in itimate touch
with youthful penchant and desire.
Principal ]. d. Scott Of the Hum
boldt county high school, is an out
standing example of the type who
gets the best in both effort and
affection and one of the late day
proofs of the statement is contained
in the action of the high school
student body in which the new
athletic field was named in his
honor. Hereafter the area will be
referred to as Scott field, and no
matter where the principal may be-
take himself as the years come and
60 his name will be perpetuated
and future references will be a
reminder of his successful activities
in this community.
Principal Scott has the ability
to work when he works and play
when he plays and he maintains a
community interest with, the student
body that makes him generally
beloved. No more splendid testi-
monial could be offered him then
the student body action in which his
name was given to the local athle-
tic field.
Dedicatory exercises will be held
at the field Friday, one day in
advance of the state interscholastic
track meeting, and it is proposed
that interclass athletic activities
shall be held hereafter on the same
date of each year.

CHAUTAUQUA WEEK
is SUCCESSFUL HERE

Winnemucca's annual Chautauqua
week opened Sunday evening under
auspicious conditions, the tent audi
torium being filled with people who
were delighted with the address of
Arthur Waldwyn, well known lee
turer-humorist who has acquired
more fame through his outstanding
qualities of character than by. rea-
son of his kinship with David Lloyd
George, English premier, the Eng
lish statesman being Walwyn's un-
Gle. Those who heard the Welsh
man-American in his expose of in
teresting subjects form a formidable
crowd of boosters for the Chautau-
qua program.
Yesterday afternoon the Steel
an-Mariner-Taylor musical trio
gave a concert program, and rem
dered prelude in advance of the
principal attraction at last nights
session. Mather Hillburn, imper-
senator, entertained last night in an
inimitable manner.

ment sufficient to fully illustrate
his subject, which he treats in a
scientific way. Margaret Garrison

ly known lecturer, will speak to-
morrow evening.

MOVEMENT STARTS
IN PARADISE VALLEY
Farmers Plan Cet-Together Meeting
to Work Out Tangible Scheme
for Additional Water Stor-
age and Cultivation

The utmost in water storage and
land cultivation is to be earnestly
sought by the residents of Para
disc Valley throughout the future
and public meeting is announced,
to be held at the Paradise hotel at
1880 o'clock next Sunday evening
Col. j. G. Scrugham, state engineer,
is to be present and will speak on
the subjects that will be involved in
the forward movement. Chief
among these is the single thing of
adjudication or settling of rights as
they exist today. The meeting will
also afford Paradise residents an
opportunity of meeting Col. Scrug-
ham, who may be Nevada's next
governor. While Col. Scrugham has
not yet said he will be candidate
for the governors office, it is freely
predicted in political circles that he
will soon make such an announce
ment.
County Agent ]. w. Wilson is
moving to aid the residents of Para
disc Valley and expresses the opin-
ion that state officialdom will prove
potent factor in bringing about
the happy condition sought.
This aid may be extended in eff
fecting surveys and determinations
of the possibilities presented by the
Little Humboldt river and Martin
creek. Storage sites and possible
added water conservation may be
determined under state auspices. In
this connection it will be remem-
bered that sanction has been extend
ed to the plan of expending the re-
mainder of the states Owyhee in
vestigation fund within the water
sheds serving Paradise Valley, where
considerable land development pos
sibilities are known to exist. Scrug-
ham is a member of the Owyhee
commission along with Mayor T. A.
Brandon of this city and ]. T.
yGoodln OF Loyelock.
Regarding adjudication of Para
disc Valley water rights it is the
plan to present to the land owners
there the method Of procedure and
to extend them assistance in making
definite determinations. These de-
examinations, if made, will be en-
compassed in approximately the
same manner that characterized the
Humboldt river water right findings,
recently concluded in the prelimin-
ary stages. Thus the data may be
compiled, placed on record and made
final by court decree, formalities
that will give the Paradise Valley
irrigated area complete and legal
record of the water volume which
may be appurtenant to the culti-
waited tracts. The complete obvia-
ton of law suits over water is one
of the assurances held out by the
adjudication promised. Another has
to do with increased land values.
1t is asserted that wherever state
sanction has been extended to water
rights that five, ten and even more
dollars have been added to the per
acre value of the land involved.
