ACTIVITY IN WEST.
v. |. VEL|E REPORTS
Secretary of Corporation Is
Optimistic in Journey to
Pacific Coast.

Throughout the west the automo-
bile is certainly one of the leaders of
the business procession of 1922. AT
every point, the market for known
makes is active and growing firmer
every day. Distributors and dealers
voice high optimism. They expect
1922 to make a showing in line with
the best years of the industry"
This is the substance of daily re-
ports W. l.. Velie, Jr., son of Presi-
dent w. l.. Velie, and secretary of the
Velie Motors corporation, who is
touring the west. Mr.. Velie's trip in
cludes Kansas City, Denver, Salt

1922 line of Velie cars with the Vele-
built motor. there was such an aston
ishing demand from the west that the
company determined to make a nation
wide survey Of the automobile market
at first hand. 1t was generally ac-
cepted that the east had passed the
sub-normal period, and this was amply
borne out by the business which has
continued undated following the
shows.
Mr.. velie's reports in detail give
proof that both the midwest and far
west are setting a pace that bids fair
to outrival the east.

SPORTS CLUB TO
BE ORGANIZED

John E. Drendel of Minden, who
has always taken a keen interest In
sports, and believes in lawful hunt
ing and fishing, has taken 1t upon
himself to further the interest in this
community Of protecting the fish near
dams and giving them a chance to
go up and down the fish ladders un-
molested.
Mr.. Drendel has the cooperation
of most of the sportsmen in this COM
munity in his undertaking and 1t is
to be hoped that a club will be
organized that will prove a benefit
to all those who love the sport OF
fishing
1t has been found In many In
stances that fishermen finding easy
catches take more than the limit at
one time, and this is the very thing
that club can remedy If each and
every member take an active interest
This Is a most commendable move
and one that will preserve the fish
ing grounds for years il action Is
taken at once.

CRAWLING ROAD
FINISHED SOON

The Redmond Page contractors ex-
pect to finish surfacing the two mile
stretch of highway near Cradlebaughs
bridge with gravel by tomorrow night
If nothing unforeseen happens. The
rolling of the road will take another
week or more. to thoroughly pack the
gravel before the road is thrown open
to the travelling public.
This new piece of highway will
lessen the distance to Carson by a
mile or more and will make direct
route from the Haybourn tract over
the two new cement bridges that span
the Carson river.
The road near Cradlebaughs has
been the bane of Douglas county as
the material is such that no amount
of work could possibly keep 1t In
repair. This will be eliminated In
the new highway and will make auto
travel between here and Carson
joy instead of jostle as 1t now is.

Dick Booshinger who for a short
time was employed on the ranch Of
Fred Fulstone at Wellington and
since by the Western States Gas and
Electric Company at Cables Lakes,
forged check on Fulstone Monday
for the sum of 1880.
Booshinger procured a blank check
from q local drug store on the Doug

an almost exact reproduction of the
signature Of Fulstone.
The check was passed ct Tony
Dettling's soft drink parlor, who
found 1t was worthless and had a
warrant sworn out for his arrest.
Sheriff Nielsen learned that the forg-
er had gone to Reno on the auto
stage and proceeded after him. He
was apprehended and brought back
to Gardnerville where he was placed
in jail awaiting a hearing.
Booshinger claims he Is a graduate
OF this year from high school and
that this Is his first offense. Those
who saw the check claim It was
excellent work for an amateur.

TO KILL OFFICER

In a signed statement prepared In
the Office of Chief Of Police Kirkley
today, Jesus Comes, a Mexican labor
er, who was taken by Special Agent
Green of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, confessed to the staying OF

ter's back was turned. they opened
fire on him. Six shots were fred,
five of them taking effect
Comes reluctantly asserted that he
and his brother began shooting into
the air to attract the officer. They
talked to the guard a few minutes, he
said, and when Brennan turned to
walk away. Jesus Comes shot three
times. Brennan started to return the
fire, Comes said, but a bullet from
his brothers revolver pierced Bren-
mans heart, killing him instantly.
The shooting occurred at Ave
o'clock in the morning and the pris-
oner told the officers he hid In a
grain field until eight o'clock that
night. He then went to Salida and
from there to Sacramento, where he
boarded a Southern Pacific passenger
train, riding the "blind baggage" into
Sparks.
Comes statement was made In the
presence of Kirkley. Green, Railroad
Officer Kennedy, Of Stockton, and
Deputy Sheriff Robbins, Of San
Joaquin county. Comes will be TAX
en- back to California to face a charge
of murder as soon as process can be
prepared. The officers will begin at
once checking up his story.

CARDNERVILLE
LOSES GAME

In baseball game played on the
high school diamond Sunday after
noon, the Sparks team won a victory
over the Gardnerville team by a
score Of IL to 2.
The first four innings of the game
were hotly contested, neither side
scoring, but the good fortune was
not to be for the home team as the
visitors ran up a score of seven or
more in the next two innings.
The success OF the Sparks team
was due largely to the fact that
their regular pitcher was replaced
with league pitcher from Reno, A.
Douglas, who was way above the
average for a town team.
The Gardnerville boys played a
good game. and the fact that they
were outclassed by the Sparks ag-
gregation does not tend to dampen
their ardor or make them less anx-
ious to try conclusions with victor
ious results In the future.

U. S. WEATHER
BUREAU REPORT

The past week was exceptionally
favorable for agricultural interests.
After a month of abnormally warm
and dry weather, there was a change
to much cooler on the 10Th, followed
by moderate to heavy showers over
the entire state. The temperature
continued slightly below normal dur
ing the remainder Of the week. The
following rainfall was reported: Reno
O.30 inch, Winnemucca 0.34 inch, Mon
tello 06S inch. Schurz 0.24 inch, Ton
opah 0.S4 inch. and Modena 0.53 inch,
says the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture.
The change TO moderate tempera-
ture was favorable for potatoes and
grain crops. The high temperatures
of the past month did not seem to
harm potatoes, but they are now in
the critical stage of development, and
the cool nights are particularly bene-
ficial for the growth Of the tubers.
The present conditions OF this crop
is reported to be excellent in all the
potato growing sections of Nevada
Wheat, barley, oats and alfalfa are In
good condition In all irrigated dis
tricts. Wild hay Is reported to be
lighter than normal In the Humboldt
Basin, probably due to the lateness
of the spring followed by abnormally
high temperature. Showers damaged
unstacked hay to some extent. Ranges
are greatly improved by the rainfall
Cattle and sheep were reported In
good condition in the north, and fail
to good condition In the south. AL
crops were in excellent condition IL
Lyon county, and potatoes were re
ported to be in much better condition
than year ago. A local hailstorn
did some damage in the northern
part of Smith Valley.

mo SALARY
FOR PRIMARIES

Persons who serve as officers at
the primary election to be held Sep
tember fifth must do SO without pay.
according to an opinion given by
Deputy Attorney General Robert
Richards yesterday regarding Section
IA. Chapter 2iS OF the 1921 Statutes
of Nevada. The opinion given to
District Attorney Dunn of Nye coun-
ty reads:
I'VE have your letter Of July II.
calling for our official opinion as to
the constitutionality of that portion
of section IA. page 3s4. stats. 1921.
wherein It II provided that officers
at q primary election are not entitled
to receive compensation" Richards
says.
This Office has not been prone to
declare a statute unconstitutional ex.
cept In a very clear case and Of
extreme urgency. Your inquiry. there
fore. is not one of this kind. How
ever. We can see no reason why this
section should be unconstitutional
because the officers at the primary
election are not entitled to receive
compensation. It Ia not compulsory
for any person named py the COM
mittee Of political party to serve
as an election officer and this ele-
ment being eliminated, It would seem
that the section Is. therefore, con-
stitutional. There are many duties
imposed upon citizens to be perform
ed without compensation-yet the
statute providing for the performance
of such duties has not been declared
unconstitutional. For instance. Jury
duty in criminal cases In Justices
courts Is not paid for: the sheriff
may want posse when necessary
this service Is not paid for; and
surely there is no stronger reason TO
pay members Of c party for supervis-
ing their parties primary than the
instance noted"
Following is Section IA above re-
ferred to:
"On or before the first Monday In
July of each year in which primary
election Is to be held the county GEN.
trail committee Of each political party
for each county shall nominate to
the board of county commissioners
of such county three qualified elec-
tors in and for each precinct in the
county to act as officers of the pri-
mary election in such precinct in the
same manner and number as now
provided by law for the selection Of
officers Of general elections, giving to
each party, as near as may be equal
representation. The said officers of
the primary election shall perform
all the duties at the primary election
now prescribed by law for the Off
GERS of election at general elections,
and they shall serve at the primary
election without compensation from
the county or state. It shall be the
duty OF the proper county officers to
furnish certified copies of the official
register, together with the checklists
OF each election precinct, to one Of
the inspectors Of the primary election
as now provided by law for general
elections"

GIVES RULING ON
ELECTION Law

An opinion on three phases of the
election law. prepared by Deputy At
torney General Robert Richards, was
mailed today to the county clerks In
Nevada. dening that an elector can
vote party ballot only when he is
affiliated with that party. and setting
out that no filing fee shall be charged
candidates for the Office Of public
administrator.
An ambiguity in the statute cover
ing the period Of registration led to
a request upon the attorney general
for an opinion. Mr.. Richards iner-
prets the law to fix the period of reg
istration before the primaries as from
June 1 In any general election year
up to the twentieth day next proceed
ing the election.
In holding that q candidate for
public administrator Is exempt from
payment Of a filing fee with his de-
claration Of candidacy, Mr.. Richards
states that the public administrator
comes under the general heading Of
officers who receive no compensa-
ton. All such officers are exempt
under the law. The writer says:
THE statute referred to and quoted
specifically enumerates the offices
and the respective filing fees there
for. but the Office of public admin
istrator is not included. Moreover
the holder of the Office of public
administrator received no compensa-
ton whatever as public administra.
tor. The office merely qualities him
!! to become administrator Of certain
estates and for his services as ad.
ministrator Of such estates, he Il
compensated under court order
Theefore no fee for filing is reqir.

A. SPRINCMEYER
ILL AT RENO

Miss Amy Springmeyer. who has
been taking treatment In Reno for
nose and throat trouble, was taken
quite seriously Ill last Friday. Upon
examination it was found that a
tooth had grown crosswise beneath
the two front teeth, which caused
the infection. An operation was per-
formed to remove the tooth and the
patient was doing so well that she
returned to her home in Gardnerville
Monday. Wednesday, however, her
condition was not so good, so ac-
companied by her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Leo Springmeyer, she returned
to Reno for further treatment.
The many friends of Miss Spring
meyer will hope for her a speedy
recovery.
