met ID. Boyle, according to the
Journal. In March 1919. a squadron
OF airplanes, consisting of four De
Haviland Liberty motor planes and
one Curtiss plane, started from Math-
er field near Sacramento to cross the
mountains. They were the first
airplanes to cross the Sierras, all
previous attempts having failed. From
Carson the planes flew to Reno, and
on the western trip the Curtiss plane
crashed near Washoe.
BY permission of the secretary Of
war, Governor Boyle was enabled to
return to Sacramento on March 23rd
with the fleet, and as a momento of
the occasion the boys sent him the
broken propeller after saving off the
battered end In addition to the
value of this relic as link In the

CALIFORNIA SUNSHINE
CAUSES SUPER.CHILDREN

Even the children in California,
and We are blessed with a good aver
age crop each year, outgrown the pro-
ducts of other states, says the
Placeryille Mountain Democrat
In a recent bulletin the secretary
of the California State Board of
Health says:
California children, six years of
age and under, are on the average
one-third of an inch larger In stat
ure and three-quarters of a pound
heavier in weight that children of
the same group in other states.
This fact has been established
through computations made by the
children's bureau Of the United
State department of labor. The height
and weight record of no less than
two million children in the United
States were used as a basis for these
computations. Children, fortunately
have always been considered Califor-
MAS most important and most valu-
able crop.

Wednesday night. From his record,
Nelson shows that he is the inventor
of the famous double-arm sissors,
which he perfected and is master.
In a recent wrestling tournament
held In Reno in which stranger"
Lewis was the main event, "Strangl-
er" Nelson was also slated to appear
on the same card to wrestle Angelo
Dercordo. Due to the fact that Der
cordo did not appear Ramelli In order
not to dlsappoint the wrestling fans
held half hour exhibition with Mel
son. The exhibition was a very fast
one and 1t was apparent tht some
feeling existed between the two boys.
Gene Phillips, who refereed this
match, saw an oportunity of signing
these boys up to appear in Carson
Vally and was successful in closing
articles for this match next Wednes-
day night. to be held at Rex theatre.
This match Is to be for the best two
out of three falls and there will be
no time limit. II 1t requires several
hours for this match to be concluded
the boys will continue wrestling. re-
gardless of time. until one of them
has gained two falls.
This should assure the wrestling
fans a good run for their money. The
winner of this match will be signed
up to wrestle Connie Ramanoff. the
Pacific Coast champion, and II the
people of this vicinity indicate by
their attendance that they want to
see wrestling 1t Is stated hat the
probabilities are they will later on
In the season witness Stranger Lew
Is in a world championship match In
Carson Valley.
There will be two preliminary
wrestling matches between local boys
which should be of interest.
Ladies are invited to attend this
match and 1t is expected that many
of the fair sex will be present.

RAMElL| AND NELSON WILL
WRESTLE IN GARONERv|LLE

At the Rex theatre next Wednesday
night Sylvius Ramelli and Stranger
Nelson will wrestle, the winner to Sc
cure the best two out of three falls.
Sylyius Ramelli, while over seas,
Is months, won 32 matches, having
lost but one. After he came home he
returned to the peaceful pursuits OF
ranching, but the call of the mat was
too strong for Happy to endure, so
he returned to the sport again and so
far has won all his matches.
Lately he won from men like Tara
maschi, Greek George and Walter
Andrews. He also went draw with
Ramanoff, Pacific Coast champion.
His favorite hold is body scissors
and his powerful legs are much like
those of Joe Stecher, former World
champion and 1t seems that he uses
them to the same advantage. Happy
R." says that his record Is also due
to the fact that he never did smoke,
chew or drink alcoholic beverages,
not even tea or coffee and urges all
young men along the same path.
Here is a man the people of Nevada
should appreciate. He has lived a
great part of his life in this state and
is strong for it. He is the only
heavyweight wrestler Nevada has
ever turned out that is making the
big boys sit up and take notice.
Stranger" Nelson Is known as
the Danish light heavyweight cham
pion of Denmark. His record shows
that he has wrestled over five hund-
red matches, and Is very clever,
having defeated almost every man he
has wrestled. also many In the heavy
weight class. He beat Chief Portega,
the Ventura county Indian In straight
falls Harry Martin also lost In two
straight falls. while Ramanoff, Paci-
fic Coast champion, lost in a handi-
cap match with Nelson. Nelson has
surprised many men in his day and
he says he Is sure of victory next

Woman's Club Hear
Good Radio Concert

The Gardnerville Woman's Literary
club met Monday evening at the home
Of Mrs. E. w. Carman. The pro-
gram for the evening consisted of a
paper on Modern Music and Compos-
ers, splendidly written and read by
Mrs. Geo. Hoffman, and a sketch of
Luther Burbank's life and Horticul-
tural experiments by Mrs. B. N.
Selkirk. A vocal duett by Mrs. ] J.
Brockliss and Mrs. Selkirk concluded
the evenings program.
One of the most entertaining feat
ures of the evening was a radio
concert at the Carman home. Mr..
Carman has just installed a very eff
cient radio receiving set in his home,
and concerts broadcasted from all the
coast points as for north as Canada,
and east as far as New York City are
heard very distinctly. The concert
of Monday evening was sent out by
the Los Angeles Times, and was as
clear and distinct as though the
musicians had been In the next

Reno from the mine, and the tanks
are being constructed. Snow and
mud hindered transportation between

Urges Nevada People
To InUest at Home

The State OF Nevada should not
look entirely to outside capital to de-
velop her resources but the citizens
should take a hand in this import
ant matter and spend their money in
developing the State. Last year over
million dollars was sent out of
Nevada in oil speculations alone, and
this sum spent within the State
woud work wonders In the way Of de-
veloping latent resources, William
LIE Baron, mining engineer of Reno,
and San Francisco, told the Sparks
Lions at their weekly meeting at the
Dew Drop Inn Saturday night, says
the Spars Tribune.
Mr.. lie Baron drew an interesting
picture of the geological formation
of the valuable minerals that but
await the developing touch of money
to turn them into productive units
that would add great deal to he
safe. This money, said lie Baron,
was in the State right now and IL
the people would only invest their
dollars in Nevada instead of sending
them outside of the State, 1t would
not take long before the money thus
sown would reap a harvest.
lie Baron said that he had some
ideas of citizenship and what 1t
should mean, and one of the poorer
qualities Of citizenship was that
which permitted person to gouge
the wealth from one State and then
run to another portion of the country
and spend the money In upbuilding
a community that did nothing to
give him his wealth.

CHILD is KILLED
NFATAL AUTO
ACCIDENT

Returning from a trip to the East
at 10 o'clock Saturday night, little
Dorothy Davenport, aged five years,
was the victim of an auto accident an
hour and half later, and died forty
five minutes afterward. She was the
daughter of Charles Davenport of
Carson who met her and her mother
at the train in Reno, says the
Gazette.
That death was caused by inter-
nal injuries following an auto acci-
dent, was the verdict of a coroner's
jury sitting before Justice of the
Peace Charles Bull at the inquest
held the day following the accident.
George E. Kitzmeyer, Carson un-
dertaker, and the Davenport family
were driving south on the highway
when the car skidded turned COM
pletely around and tipped into a
ditch in which there was water.
None of the other persons in the car
were injured.
The child was then carried to the
Smith ranch house, where she seemed
to be uninjured, and talked to her
parents, but suddenly died, forty
five minutes after the accident. The
place of the accident was in Pleasant
Valley, just before starting up the
Washoe hill at the point where the
highway leaves the old road at the
corner near the Smith ranch.
Mr. Kitzmeyer and Mr.. Davenport
the latter an assistant to Mr.. Kitz-
meyer, had met Mrs. Davenport and
the child at the railway station in
Reno, where she arrived on a train
from the East.

State Departments
Ask For Increases

Members of the way and means
committees OF the two houses assert
that practically every department of
the state government submitting
schedules thus far in the budget sur
vey now in progress has asked for
larger appropriations than was al
lowed for the biennium which clos
ed December 31st, reports the Reno
Gazette. Frequent conferences are
being held between the governor,
numbers of these committees and de-
partment heads in consideration of
the budget requirements.
1t is said the schedules are being
prepared in anticipation or revision
downward and the sums demanded in
many instances are arbitrary on that
account. The fish and game commits
sioners ask for an appropriation of
$12,S60. This is about $4,000 in ex.
cess of the actual expenditures in
1922. The department also asks for
an appropriation Of $12,S6O in 1924.
The Nevada state library appro-
priation request for 1923 is $4,000
and for 1924, $14,100 Last year the
department spent s1O,755.97 An in
crease of $500 year salary for the
librarian is requested, while the de-
partment asks for $10,500 for i'm
provements In 1923.
Appropriation requests by the de-
partment OF education amount to
$101,150. Expenditures at this depart
ment during the last biennium ag-
gregated $79,S92S0. The attorney
general requests $12,525 for 1928 and
$12,330 for 1924. This department
spent $9,610.21 In 1921 and $s,56s.S
In 1922. The appropriation re-
quested for the orphans home for
the biennium is but littel more than
the actual expenditures of the last
two years. The total was 65,471.9S
and the total requested is $4,000.
