FAVORS BUYING
THE HOSPITAL

All Carson Valley citizens are
urged to subscribe to the proposed
Carson Valley Hospital Association.
! believe that every person in this
community will admit that a hospital
here is an absolute necessity.
I believe that such an association
can be formed and the money raised
to purchase the hospital building.
A dictatorship of three can be chos-
en- to conduct the business, they to
serve without salary. Shares could
be sold for $40 each and after the
building is paid for a small monthly
membership charge would defray all
expenses.
The saving of one life would mean
more than the entire cost of the
hosnital.
AL those who would be willing to
subscribe or who are interested in
such movement. please correspond

FEATURE film
SUNDAY NIGHT

Perjury. William Fox super
special which was the talk of New
York while running at a prominent
Broadway theatre. will come to the
Rex theatre Sunday night. 1t pre-
sents William Farnum in a role
similar In several essential respects
to that of Jean Vatican in victor
Hugo's Les Miserables." in which
this famous emotional screen star
made a tremendous hit. New York
reviewers and theatre-goers, during
the run of Perjury" in the metrop-
oils, declared that William Farnum
surpassed all former efforts in the
expression of human emotion. They
predicted that the gripping photo
drama will establish itself permanent
tly as one of thee lassics OF the
scree.
Perjury" provides supreme test
of William Farnum's dramatic genius
for In the role OF Robert Moore he
runs the gamut of human emotion.
The hero first is seen as an active
ambitious factory superintendent OF
45, happy In his home life and In
the friendships which his engaging
personality has won for him. Jeal-
ousy and dread grip his mind, fol-
lowed by red rage and finally de-
spair. Then the prison gates close
upon him for twenty years, during
which the inherent gentleness and
sweetness of his nature develop to
a remarkable degree. The family is
left, outside prison walls, to misery
and pathetic struggle.
In this super play are Sally Crute,
Wallace Erskine. John Webb Dillon,
Frank Shannon, Frank Joyner, Grace
La Veil, Gilbert Rooey and Albert
Mann. Harry Millarde directed the
production.

FOR
DIRECTORSHIP

As the date OF the election of a
board of directors for the Carson
Valley Irrigation draws near, con-
siderable interest In the district is
developing. 1t was apparent yester-
day that the candidates for directors
heartily in accord with bonding the
district for $780, 900 to build storage
system with a capacity OF $4,000
acre feet of water or a sufficient
amount to irrigate all of the lands
In Carson Valley, will be opposed by
others who stand for conservatism in
the proposed scheme. AS one of
these, Fred Schacht has filed as a
candidate for director OF the Carson
Valley Irrigation from the Minden
precinct and will probably have as
his opponent for that office, H. F.
Dangberg.
70 representative Of the Record
Courier yesterday. Mr.. Schacht said
1t was true that he had filed as a
candidate for directors. 81 do not
wish 1t understood that l am against
storage system" said Mr.. Schacht,
"but l do believe that every angle of
the proposition should be Thoroughly
understood before any big bond issue
is voted. am conservative in this
matter, however, and seek election as
director Of the Irrigation district
for that reason"
1t Is stated that three candidates
will seek election ON the board whose
views are in accord with those OF
Mr.. Schacht. The election is to be
held April 3rd and probably all
candidates will file within the next
few days in accordance with the new
irrigation law.

SCENIC ROADS
MAY BE SAVED

The Nevada state highway depart
ment engineer recently completed
mapping and surveying the proposed
highway improvement from the Cali
fornia state line to Glenbrook along
the shore of Lake Tahoe, via Cave
Rock. This is the south route of the
famous Lincoln highway between be-
tween Western Nevada and Califor-
MIA.
1t Is reported that the new high
way will follow the old route elimin-
ating curves and bad turns in the
forest, which, In view of the in
creasing traffic, are becoming dang
erous. Some consideration has been
given to driving a tunnel 400 feet In
length through Cave Rock to elimin-
ate the present bridge built around
the edge of the great cliff and ex-
tending over the lake and which has
been maintained by Douglas county
for years. This proposal has met
with strenuous OPPOSITION, however,
from resort owner along Lake Ia
hoe who claim that the bridge af-
fords one of the most scenic spots
found In this beautiful region and
one greatly admired by all tourists.
Undoubtedly, Cave Rock is one OF
the scenic spots at Lake Tahoe. A
few years ago leading motor maga-
zine sent special writer from the
east to describe the Lincoln highway
In the Sierras and he gave 1t as his
opinion that Cave Rock was the most
scenic spot on the entire route from
the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Governor Boyle this summer took
up with A. F. Bement, vice president
and secretary OF the Lincoln highway
association. the question OF that or
ganization aiding the state in this
important scenic improvement. The
board of directors of the Lincoln
highway association is expected to
consider extending some financial aid
for this work at its annual meeting
to be held soon.-Neyada Highway

LAKE TAHOE MAY
HAVE ELECTRIC
RAILROAD

An electric railroad extending
through the American river canyon
through the timber land of the west
ern water shed of the Sierras, from
the southern end of Lake Tahoe to
the city of Placerville, and maybe on
through to Folsom and Sacramento,
is the report that comes from the
capitol city today, said Wednesdays
Placerville Republican. Several con-
ferences In Sacramento have been
held between owners of large timber
,racts, and busiess men and bankers
of the capitol city during the past few
lays in relation to this proposed
project.
1t is also reported that within the
next few weeks a corps of engineers
and surveyors under pay of Pacific
coast construction company will begin
a preliminary survey for a right of
way for the railroad through Placer
vile, Canine and the American river
sumer resorts.
The lumbermen plan to construct
box factories and mills along the
right of way OF this road, and others
between here and Sacramento, where
they could operate all the year round.
In planning on this electric road
instead of steam, 1t is said that the
vast amount of power that can be
generated by the mountain streams
in this county would tend to make an
electric road more profitable than a
steam road would be.
The available timber along the pro-
posed right of way, which could be
used and more easily transported to
lower markets include that of the
Michigan California Lumber Co., one
billion two hundred million feet; CAL
ifornia Door company. eight hundred
million feet, the South Fork Lumber
company, three hundred million feet,
Burns and Seemore OF Oregon, two
hundred million feet; Sacramento
timber interests, one hundred and
fifty million feet; s. G. Beach &
Sons, two hundred million feet; and
the National Forestry and many
smaller tracts of which figures are
not now available.
No definite confirmation of this re-
port could be obtained today. but
several men OF Sacramento who are
said to be interested, did not deny
It, is is said that a meeting to talk
be held in the near future to talk
over the situation.

SPRING
IS USHERED IN

st. Patrick's day brought with 1t
the first touch OF green to the al
falfa fields of Carson Valley and
while the growing forage is not yet
pronounced, the green tint to the
fields brings signs of spring, Of
ficially ushered In Wednesday, II one
goes by the calendar and set seasons
With spring comes activity on the
farms and preliminary work for crop
planting will soon be well under way
on all farms. Fishermen are just
now planning trips for the season
that will soon open. first in the trout
streams of Mono and Alpine county.
to be followed later by river fishing.
Secrets. long kept are being whisper
ed by confidential friends and good
fishing grounds found last season are
being divulged.
Hardware men at the local stores
are busy assembling plows. harrows.
drills and tractors are being tuned
up.
Spring is surely here and Carson
Valley faces one OF the most p-omls-
ing seasons In history. Not from the
standpoint OF bumper crops, probably.
because all crops In Carson Valley
are dependable as the changing OF
seasons, but from the standpoint of
possible future development.

NUMBER EIGHT
RESORT OWNERS
AT LAKE TAHOE

Chas. and Wilton Young, accom-
paied by Norman Petersen arrived
from Placerville, Cal Monday and
after spending day at the Minden
Inn, left for Bijou, Lake Tahoe. They
travelled by automobile as far as
Peters fiat on the Kingsbury grade,
and from that point walked to Lake
Tahoe over the snow.
Young Bros. report that informa-
tion received In Placerville few
days before they left. indicated that
the Tahoe road would be opened to
auto travel at a much earlier date
that was believed possible a few
weeks ago. Automobiles are now
making the mountain trip to
Kyburz' from Placerville, and
while number of heavy drifts are
reported near the second summit.
the snow has been melting rapidly
during the past two weeks.
Young Bros. will put things In
shape at their Bijou resort and will
probably open for business as soon
as the roads from the Nevada side
are open, usually a number Of weeks
in advance OF the opening of the
California roads.

INDIAN STUDENTS
WIN APPLAUSE

Probably what can be classed as
the most novel entertainment given
In Gardnerville In many months was
the Feast Of the Red Corn" pre-
sented Friday night at the high
school auditorium by the pupils of
the Stewart Indian School. Before
the curtain went up on the first act,
the orchestra. composed entirely of
Indian students, played a prelude to
operetta. The beating of tom-toms
and the wierd composition of the
music. keyed one up to a pitch of
Indian fairy stories. When the cur
tain went up. the thirty-ive or
more Indian maidens. In primitive
costumes, the old witch and the
dancing. coordinated with the pre-
lude
The singing of the chorus and the
three Indian maidens who took lead
Ing roles, was exceedingly good. the
dancing was better and all In all
the performance was relevation to
the big crowd OF Carson Valley peo-
pie that packed the auditorium to
the doors.
The play was given under the
auspices OF the junior class and
after paying all expenses, tidy sum
was realized which Is to be used in
defraying the expenses connected
with the publication of high school
annual
The Record-courier. [volume] (Gardnerville, Nev.) 1904-current, 1923-03-23

The increases are In the general
levy and In the highway levy. The
increase in the general levy of 8
cents is due to the carrying of $6O,-
500 for school administration In the
general appropriation act.
The general appropriation act will
total $1,164,125 and the general tax
levy was based on an estimate of
$1,159.000. This difference was final
ly adjusted and the tax law passed.
The legislature continued in session
throughout Thursday night and the
decks for adjournment were not
cleared until 10 o'clock Friday morn
ing.
Over four hundred bills, embracing
measures that were good, bad and
Indifferent, were introduced during
the sixty days that the Nevada legis-
lature was in session. OF this num-
ber probably 175 will be enacted In
to laws. Not a dozen bills were en-
acted that may be classed as signi-
fivant value to the state and at least
two of those have been vetoed by
Governor Scrugham. An earnest en-
deavor was made to cut expenses In
the state engineers office, acting up
on prediction statements of the
Governor, who stated that the ad-
judication of Nevada streams had
been practically completed. Believ-
ing this to be true, the legislators at
tempted to prune out some of the
dead wood, but were unsuccessful.
At any rate, the few who made an
earnest endeavor to cut down the COST
of state government without detri-
mental effect, found that they were
outclassed and outvoted at every
mark in the road and as a result the
state tax rate is elevated cents over
the past two years. Prediction
promises of economy were idle
words, subterfuge for getting votes
and were false and misleading in
every phase of political trickery.

Ed. CALQUHOUN
SHOT TO DEATH

Ed. Calquhoun was shot and in
stantly killed by Clarence Sage at
ten o'clock Thursday night, follow
ing an argument in the Combination
Bar at Silver City. Several persons
were in the room at the time.
Two shots were fired by Sage and
both struck Calquhoun, one In the
neck and the other through the heart.
Sage, a number of years ago, was
watchman at the Goldfield Consoli-
date mine. He was recently releas-
ed from the Arizona state prison,
where he served term on a rape
charge. 1t is claimed that Sage was
framed" during the labor trouble In
the Arizona copper camps few
years ago. He reached Silver City
on the day Of the tragedy. Sage is
about forty-six years of age and mar
ried. according to the News.
Immediately after the shooting
Calquhoun Sage went out OF the back
door OF the Combination bar and
disappeared. William Donley, deputy
sheriff, was summoned from Dayton,
and sheriffs and peace officers In all
neighboring towns were notified to
be on the lookout for Sage. A call
was sent to the state prison for
bloodhounds.
Deputy Donley and another man
went to Sage's room In the Bonanza
Hotel in search of articles of clothing
that would be of use In putting the
bloodhounds. on the trail, and discov-
cred Sage hiding under the bed. He
gave himself up to the officers with
out offering resistance.
| Donley handcuffed Sage and took
his prisoner down town. Here he
found feeling running very high, with
talk of lynching. Donley quieted the
crowd of infuriated Silver City men,
but decided to place Sage in the jail
at Carson City and for number OF
night an extra guard was placed on
duty to prevent any possibility oi
lynching.
Ed. Calquhoun, a native of Ne
vada, was about thirty years old and
unmarried. He was a miner and
recently had been employed at the
Buckeye mine. He is survived by
his parents, who reside in Sparks; a
brother, Vernon Calquhoun, press
man for the Nevada State Journal
two sisters, Mrs. William Schooley
of Reno, and Miss Eva Calquhoun, a
teacher In the Gardneryille grammar
school.
The dead youth was popular
throughout western Nevada com
munities. He served In France dur.
ing the World War, and the funeral
was held at Sparks Sunday.
In speaking of the murder the Star
published at Winnemucca says
''Sage's latest tragedy recalls to the
minds of the older residents of Win
nemucca his deeply grounded pen
chant to shoot on first proyocation

whom he came in contact In this city

IRRIGATION AT FALLON
STARTS THIS MONTH

The first water TO be delivered to
farmers under the Newlands project
was turned into canals on Thursday
of this week, says the Eagle. By the
goth OF this month all canals on the
project will have received water.
Mild spring weather this year has
made II possible for farmers here to
get into their fields a little earlier
than usual. Much blowing has been
started. Some farmers are waiting
for moisture from the canals before
starting work.
