PROCLAMATION

President Coolidge's Thanksgiving
day proclamation, issued last week
from the White House. calls to mind
that the year has brought to the
American people two tragic expert
ences-the death of President Hard
ing and the Japanese earthquake
but says that such experiences serve
to test and refine men and nations.
During the year also, the procla-
nation says, the nation has been
blessed with much of material pros
perity. The president asked that the
people gather in their homes and
place of worship on Thursday, No
vember 29 to give expression to their
gratitude and seek the guidance oil
Almighty God that they may deserve
continuance of His favor"
"The year has brought TO our peo-
pie two tragic experiences which
have deeply effected them. One was
the death of our beloved President
Harding, which has been mourned
wherever there is a realization OF the
worth of high ideals, noble purposes
and unselfish service carried even to
the end of supreme sacrifice. His
loss recalled the nation to a less
captious and more charitable atti-
tude. Ii sobered the whole thought
of the country. A little later came
the unparalleled disaster to the
friendly people of Japan. This called
forth from the people of the United
States a demonstration of deep and
humane feeling. II replentished the
charitable impulse of the country"

KENT ALFALFA MILL AT FALLON
NOW RUNNING TWO SHIFTS

The Kent alfalfa meal mill at Fal-
Ion has been running two shifts for
the past three weeks to keep up with
orders. The mill is now turning
out about one carload daily. The
meal is said to be in great demand
in California A number OF ship
ments direct to the middle and east
ern states have also gone forward
The Nevada meal is said to be of
better color and rated as higher
in essential nutrative qualities than
other meal offered in the market.
The mill was only put into operation
last spring The meal industry af-
foi DIS a quick market for small al
falfa raisers. A ranch that does not
produce over so tons has to depend
upon selling from the stack as it
does not pay the man with baler
to pull his machine to that ranch
for so small job.

RESERVOIRS ARE
BEING ENLARGED
F armers Combine in
Developing Storage
Systems in Alpine

With the likelihood of water storage
through the activities of the irriga-
tion district, exceedingly profile
matical, at least within the inn
mediate future, number of farmers
owning reservoir sites, have Joined
forces and are engaged in the de-
velopment of storage projects for
their immediate needs. F. Nedden-
riep, VIM. Settelmeyer and Wm
Dressler have taken the lead in this
work and the Red Lake reservoir in
Alpine county has been developed to
considerable extent. During the past
summer sufficient flood waters were
held back to irrigate the lands of
the owner at least once. 1t is possi-
BILE to raise the dam about twenty
feet in which event these three
farms will be amply protected
against any water shortage during
dry years.
1t seems certain that the II. f.
Dangberg Land & Livestock COM
pany will. within a short time start
work on their Hyland lake project,
which when completed will be the
largest storage project on the head
waters of the Carson river. The
water than can be stored at Hyland
lakes will give that company ade-
quate protection during dry years, 1t
is said. All the necessary pre-
liminary surveys have been COM
pleted and some work started.
In this connection the farmers of
Alpine county are considering a
proposition of organizing an irriga-
tion district with the avowed pur-
pose of securing suitable storage
sites on the headwaters of the Car
son river for conserving food waters
for irrigation purposes.

at a ranch in Elko county.
A large calf, left motherless, and
burro, whose colt had died, came
together and while the calf filled
the vacancy left by the demise. of
the burro colt, the maternal instinct
of the little burro caused 1t to ac-

MOTORISTS RACE
WITH STORMS

Chas. and Wilton Young were down
from Bijou Wednesday and reports
that while a little snow is on the
road beyond the second summit, from
fifteen to thirty automobiles go over
the road daily. Just prior to every
storm the travel to and from Cali
formnia over the popular Lake Tahoe
route increase, declared the we'll
known resort owners. This has been
more noticeable this fall than ever
before. Nevada people visiting Cali
fornia and other visiting in Nevada
appear to extend their sojourn un-
til a threatening storm appears and
then make a mad race to cross the
Sierras before the road is closed.
During the storm Saturday travel
over the Placerville route continued
throughout the night by those be-
lieving the road was about to be
blocked by snow. Storm thus far,

way If anything, according to travel
ers.
Young brothers intend to remain
at Bijou until the roads are blocked
with snow and are just now hoping
that cold weather will come in order
that they may cut ice for next sum-
mer The nights at Lake Tahoe are
cold but the days baliny and late
rains have caused grass to start in
protected spots along the lake
shores.
