Tales of Methusaleh.

Listen, my son, and l will tell thee
a wondrous tale of my wanderings
through LAKELAND.
It CHANGED that l strayed into a
magnificent heather temple of wor-
ship. that the natives dedicated to the
great God, movies. Like unto a pal
ace was this w%ondrous temple and
filed with silent worshippers. Some
moved their lips as if reciting the
y that were magically inscribed
on a silver screen. Others carried
away by their religious zeal spoke
them out loud.
Presently lights lared up and a
man whom they called manager step
ped upon the stage. Ladies and gen
tlemen," said he, in the audience
here is a man with some other mans
wife. Her husband is outside with a
gun. a man of peace am l and desir
ing to avoid bloodshed and scandal l
will permit the couple to leave by the
back door,"
Thinketh thou this is an old story?
Nay-save thy snorts, my son. for this
is yet another manager of another
temple in another town from that thou
knoweth about. Hear what befell-
No sooner had the manager spoken
when a multitude arose = clamoring
for the exit, and in the zeal 10 avoid
bloodshed-seyea persons were killed
in the rush to get out.

FILMING PICTURE
ATLAKE TAHOE
Buster Keaton Com
pany Utilizes Cave
Rock as Background
For Thrilling Comedy

Those who have marveled at the
fact that so few motion picture COM
panies have used the scenic beauties
that surround Lake Tahoe as a back
ground for photo plays, will have a
sense of satisfaction in learning that
the Buster Keaton company is now at
Lake Tahoe filming a picture. Dur
ing the early part of the week the
company was shooting scenes at Cave
Rock where a scaffold had been
erected on the top of Cave Rock from
which the famous actor that never
smiles, is supposed to leap into the
lake. Members of the company are
dressed in styles of many years ago
and is a comedy of the days of gold.
Other provisions for the picture
being filmed at Lake Tahoe, have been
made at Tahoe Tavern where other
scenes will be taken.
The motion picture company has
attracted the curiosity of many tour
lists that hail from other portions of
California other than the city of
angels.

TI0CA PASS IS
FAVORED ROUTE
Frank Vanderlip, Big
Financier, Was Dis
tinguished 7 ourist
This Week

That the automobile trip between
Lake Tahoe and Yosemite Valley is
receiving national fame, is evidenced
by the fact that many men of promi-
nence in great financial affairs, are
journeying west to take this pictur-
esque ride through two hundred
miles of majestic mountains and
deep forests of the Sierras as we'll as
through at least one of the most pro-
ductive farming communities in the
state of Nevada.
Among the notables that made the
trip this week was Frank V. Wander
lip, a director of the Union Pacific
railway company, and one of the big
gest fnanciers of the United States.
Accompanied by his wife and two
children and party of friends, thirteen
in all, arrived at the Minden Inn from
Tahoe Tavern Monday afternoon.
The night was spent at the Inn and
Tuesday morning the party left for
Yosemite Valley over the famed
Toaga Pass.
Travel between Lake Tahoe and
Yosemite Valley is at its height and
will continue to be heavy until the
last of August or the first weeks in
Septeber.

CROPS ARE IN
GOOD CONDITION
Timothy and Grain
Crops are Reported
to be Excellent. Fine
Haying Weather

Crop conditions in Carson Valley
have been exceedingly favorable dur
ing the past week. Hay being cut has
cured rapidly and is going into the
stack in fine condition, while the
warm weather is causing second
growth alfalfa to grow rapidly. Grain
that was planted early is beginning to
turn and later crops are heading
rapidly.
On all the smaller farms the first
crop has been in the stack a number
of weeks and the new crop gives
promise of abundant yield
While the cold spring was injurious
to alfalfa, is was of benefit to grain
as well as timothy hay, the latter in
most instances being of splendid
yield. A field of timothy on the
Lampe ranch was cut last week and
was about the best stand of hay seen
in Carson Valley this season.
Cutting of grass hay is now under
way on most of the farms on the west
side of the Valley and is yielding
fairly we'll.
Water for irrigation in both forks
of the Carson river will be sufficient
to mature all crops with judicial dis
tribution. The flow has decreased
quite rapidly during the past ten days
but is higher that last year at this
period.

Rebuild for Helberg
Motor Sales Company
Imediately

A. w. II. Helberg and G.. M. Pickers-
gill, of the Helberg Motor Sales COM
pany, entered into a contract few
days ago with Jensen & Dressler, for
rebuilding the garage building that
was destroyed by fire few weeks
ago.
The contractors went to work We'd
nesday morning replacing the floor
in the sales rooms. Within short
time that portion of the brick walls,
still standing. which are out of
alignment, will be torn down. A
considerable portion of the walls.
however are intact and will be used
again.
The new building will be of the
same design as the one destroyed and
the machine shop will be as well
equipped with modern machinery as
that which was destroyed.
The contractors believe they will
have the building ready for oc-
cupancy within eight weeks after the
work of rebuilding the walls has
started.

Child Welfare Work
Continues in Nevada

The child welfare division work of
the state board of health in conjunc-
tion continued in Nevada, Governor
Scrugham announced on his return
from Reno yesterday afternoon. Fol-
lowing a conference in the riverside
city the order for the federal agents
to cease work in Nevada September
first was countermanded, the cover
nor said. The fact that the quarters
occupied in the Reno city hall were
taken from the child welfare division
probably had some effect in causing
the first decision to place the workers
in the other states.

CLUB TO MEET
President Drendel Calls
Meeting at Gardner
vile For Next Mon
day Evening

John e. Drendel, president of the
called a meeting of club members to
be held in Gardnerville next Monday
evening. Aside from the fact that it
has been nearly a year since the
organization has met, other i'm
portant matters are to come before
the meeting, the exact nature of
which not having been divulged by
the president.
Current rumors in this community
state fishermen from Reno and other
outside points have been poaching on
the reserve above the power dam,
but whether or not sufficient evidence
is had hand to secure a conviction, is
not known.
1t is quite impossible to round up
fish and game violators, but it is
apparent that less violations have
taken place since the new club
was brought into existence, inasmuch
as each member is a committee of
one to report any violations that may
come under his observations.
The meeting Monday night promis-
es to be quite interesting and all
members ale urged to be present.
In connection with the work being
Itostcied by the spor. smens' "lub is
the circulation of lists of all those
that have taken out fishing licenses
in Douglas county this year. A
check is being made by members To
ascertain if those that find pleasure
in fishing, have complied with the
law in this respect.

CHANGE MADE
in DRY DISTRICT
District Still Too Big
For Effective Polio
ing Declares Prohi-
bition Officers

As a result of negotiations which
have been under way for months in
connection with reassignments of pro-
hibition enforcement territory as II
affects the Nevada director and his
force of agents, the work in four Ne
vada counties has been assigned to
other states, while one additional
fornia territory embraced in the Ne
vada juricdiction.
According to advices received in
Reno, the Gazette says, the prohibi-
ton director for the state of Utah has
been vested with authority over
White Pine and Elko counties in
Eastern Nevada while the counties of
Lincoln and Clark in the southern
part of the state have been turned
over to the Arizona jurisdiction.
Nevada county in California, with
its Truckee, where numerous pro-
hibition raids have been made in
the past, has been placed on the Ne
vada list and the California counties
now in the Nevada jurisdiction are
Modoc, Nevada, Lassen, Plumas and
Sierra.
Efforts are being continued, it was
learned to convince the Washington
authorities that the territory still is
too large to be properly policed from
he Reno headquarters and the suggest
ion has gone forward that the
counties of Nye and Esmeralda be
made part of the Los Angeles juris-
diction.
