Big Celebration Being Planned

The Fourth of July has not been
observed in Douglas county for so
many years that it would almost be
impossible to consult an old-timer to
fix the exact date and yesterday Il
number of Gardnervilla business men
and others started a movement to hold
celebration at this place on the COM
ing Fourth. They are now at work
interviewing business men to ascer-
tain the amount of financial support
that will be given, and while thus far
they have met with great success the
contemplated celebration depends up
on united support to the movement,
since 1t has been decreed that the
celebration on the natal day must be
the biggest and best ever held here.
Tentative plans have already been
worked out for the celebration and if
united support is given the movement,
the affair will be one of the biggest
and most novel yet held in Douglas
county. The men who are boosting for
the celebration will complete the task
Of interviewing the business men with
in the next day or two and if the need
ed support is forthcoming the celebra-
tlon is assured.

APPLE BLOSSOM
Time AT GENOA

Probably no other town In Nevada
presents the attractiveness that Genoa
does at this time with her fruit trees
whose plumed boughs are as soft as
the wings of birds and as various In
their colorings as a rainbow, while
the sweet fragrance from the blossoms
is intoxicating to say the least.
Old Genoa is at her best this week
and with the trees in full bloom the
homes there are embowered with the
beautifulness of nature and many au-
tomobile tourists that passed through
the historic town Sunday afternoon on
trip through Carson Valley declared
that 1t was a sight worth coming
miles to see.
While Genoa is not the thriving
bustling town of years gone by. when
1t was the trading center for the en-
tire Carson Valley, as we'll as the
county seat, no chance of fate as often
comes in the shifting of population
will ever erase the extreme pictures
que setting the God moulded at the
base of the high Sierras where stands
Genoa. A town of peaceful and beau
tiful homes almost buried beneath the
foliage of shade and fruit trees, which
at this time is even more beautiful
with their plumage of blossoms.

For the first time In several years
the hay crop Of Carson Valley has
been entirely disposed Of, according
to George Fay of the Carson Valley
Hay and Produce company.
The exceedingly heavy winter re-
quired excessive feeding Of stock.
which, coupled with the fact that ship
ments from the Valley have been heavy
this spring. has practically cleaned up
the entire crop and there Is no surplus
to be carried over as in the past sew
eral years.
The Carson Valley Hay and Pro-
duce company shipped five carloads Of
hay last week and from now on the
shipments will be limited to supplying
regular customers and no large orders
will be accepted. As q matter Of fact
more orders have bssn received dur
ing the past few weeks than could be
filled and alfalfa hay raised in Car
son Valley has been In heavy demand
owing to Its superior quality.
While It is yet early to predict the
yield for the coming season, every
thing points to the fact that both hay
and grain crops will be heavy. There
will be no shortage Of water this sea
son and while the season is late crops
are doing exceedingly well and farm
srs here are optimistic over the pres
