TRUCK DRIVERS
PAY LICENSE FEE

Inspectors of the California Motor
Vehicle Department made a rich haul
at Bridgeport last Friday when they
held up all motor truck and passen-
ger carrying automobiles, operating
interstate from Minden and Gardner
vile to Bridgeport and other Califor-
MIA points in Mono county.
According to Neil Anderson, the
inspectors picked most opportune
time for their raid on the motor
trucks, as Bridgeport was alive with
them on that day. California does
not recognize a Nevada license when
applied to trucks or automobiles op-
Grating interstate and the dozen or
more truck drivers were forced to
take out California licenses. After
issuing the motor vehicle licenses,
the drivers were assessed 81 each
for a chaffuers license and the boys
are now wearing a neat little badge
on the side of their caps.

PEOPLE HERE
HELD HOPES
FOR MINERS

From the first moment that news
received In this Valley that forty
seven men had been entombed in the
Argonant mine at Jackson, Califor-
mia, the people here have exercised
great anxiety for the safety of the
men. Daily papers were eagerly
read and as days heightened into
weeks hope would vanish only to be
renewed by some promising develop
ment as reported in the press dis
patches.
When the rescuers broke through
from the old Kennedy workings Mon
day morning, everyone was anxious
for news and during the evening tele-
grams were filed at Dempster's store
giving brief account of the progress
being made. Many wild rumors sifted
into town from outside sources, but
the first authentic news of the fate
OF the miners was received by the
Record-Courier from the Reno Gaz-
cite early Tuesday morning and was
Immediately posted on the bulletin
board at the Dempster store.
Although three weeks had elapsed
since fire in the Argonaut shaft had
trapped the forty-seven men on the
lower levels, it was generally believ-
ed that they would be taken from the
mine alive. In reality the men died
from poison gasses within five hours
after they had been entombed, prov
Ing that A. J. Stinson, Mining In
spector of Nevada, was right in his
statement made weeks ago.. that the
miners had no chance of escaping
death.
The death of these men is one of
the most regrettable occurances in
the mining history of California and
sorrow at the outcome extends to
every portion of the United States.

AT
DOUGLAS HIGH

Sixty-four students have enrolled at
the Douglas county high school ac-
cording to an announcement made
this week by the principal, F. Jay
Brown. The number of students Is
approximately the same as last year
and while the number is not as large
as some of the bigger high schools In
the state, the number is fairly repre-
sentative of the population In which
the school is located.
The board of education has been
fortunate In securing an excellent
corps of teachers for the high school
and from all indications the present
term will be one of the most success
full In the history of the school.

WARDENS AND
DUCKS APLENTY

Duck hunting opened last Saturday
morning at Sal for those who re-
spected the federal law, and much
earlier for those that did not Shoot
ing In some remote parts Of the
Valley started long before daylight.
according to reports of the hunters
and the birds were gun-shy long be-
fore the official time for opening.
The report that ducks were plenti-
ful was borne out by actual fact and
the hunters that worked fast secured
good bags and we're back in town be-
fore seven o'clock. Those that re-
NAMED In the hunting grounds report
that after nine o'clock there we're no
birds In the air and offered the belief
that they had beat 1t to more quiet
sections.
Broili brothers of Reno were ar
rested by A. G. Meyers for having
more than the limit OF birds in their
possession. They were brought be-
fore Judge Anderson of this place.
who after relieving them of all but
thirty ducks postponed the hearing.
Broili brothers declare that they went
according to a phamplet issued by a
game warden at Reno in which it
was stated that rs ducks were the
limit. while the game warden made
his arrest on public statement
issued by Attorney General Fowler in
which Is ducks were given as the
limit. They declare that II the Off
cials differ as to what constitutes the
limit, how do they expect hunter to
know.
On the following morning Game
Warden Harris grabbed Carson
man shooting before sunrise, and the
offender was fined $40 by Justice of
the Peace Anderson.
From now ON the game wardens,
and there are several Of them, will
keep a close watch on hunters that
violate the law. and further arrests
may be made at any time.

WELL WATER TO
AID IRRIGATION

That well water can be developed
into source of irrigation for many
Nevada valleys is claimed by many
local and Carson Valley residents fol-
lowing the demonstration of Peter
Outlet, Dayton merchant, who re-
Gently struck large supply of water
on sloping fiat between Yerington
and Dayton, says the Journal
Acting against the advice of many
people, Quilici, with his own capital,
drove the well to a depth of les feet
before reaching water. A pump has
been installed and is now raising
water at the rate of about $50 gallons
a minute. People interested in this
method of irrigation contend that the
fact that after six hours of pumping
the level went down only 20 feet and
then rose again in few seconds, is
indicative Of large supply of un-
derground water.
Eugene Grubb, international potato
expert, who visited Nevada recently,
informed Mr.. Quilici that there is no
better potato land in the world than
in some of the sagebrush valleys,
provided water can be secured. Mr..
Quilici, who was in Reno yesterday
stated that he intends to sink numer-
Gus other wells over the 2,O00-acre
plot, and seed the area to alfalfa and
potatoes.
He estimates that each well, il
the others are of similar capacity to
the one just sunk, will be capable OF
irrigating SO acres each.

NEW CLUB TO
PROTECT GAME

AT meeting held by the Douglas
County Sportsmens' Club at this place
Wednesday evening, the selection of
an executive and legislative commit
tee, selected by the president of the
organization was approved by the
members. Those constituting the ex-
ecutive committee are L. Fettetti,
Fred Settelmeyer, Fred Dressler.
Oscar Van Sickle, Chas. Fulstone, J.
e. Drendel and R. c.. Walker, the
last two named being the president
and secretary of the club.
Following the selection of the COM
mittee, motion was made that the
members of this committee be recon-
mended to the board of county COM
missioners for appointment as game
wardens of Douglas county. to serve
without any compensation.
The members of the club entered
into a general discussion of game
and fish conditions In this county
and among other things passed
resolution requesting the board of
county commissioners to prepare a
new ordinance closing that portion of
the Carson river above the dam of
the Douglas Milling and Power Com
pany to fishing as we'll as the river
below the dam to the county bridge.
This action was taken after it was
learned that the old ordinance clos
ing the river above the dam, was
about to expire. In recommending
that the river below the dam to the
bridge be closed was brought about
by the fact that fishing at the en-
trance OF the fish ladder and about
the measuring wier has been exceed
ingly popular. trout being numerous
there in making their way to the
breeding grounds.
The Douglas County Sportsmens'
Club has been organized for the pur-
pose of assisting in restocking the
streams with fish and giving every
possible assistance to the propagation
of game birds.
The club also went on record as
being opposed to q proposition that
has been launched In Carson for the
creation of state game warden and
the appointment by him OF seven
deputies, through a proposed measure
that is to be introduced at the next
session of the Nevada legislature.
Those backing this movement also
desire to have the funds secured
through the sale OF fishing and hunt
Ing licenses placed at the disposal
OF the state game warden.
The last Legislature abolished the
office of state game warden from the
fact that II did not function with any
degree of success and any attempt to
recreate this office will be met by
strenuous opposition. not only from
Douglas county but from other Ne
vada counties as we'll.
