Man INJURED
BY AUTOMOBILE
FRANCISCO ALBAREZ HIT
BY CAR AND QUITE BAD
LY INJURED. ACCIDENT
WAS UN AVOID B L E

Francisco Albarez was hit by an
automobile driven by Walter Frey
Saturday evening. and quite seriously
injured.
The injured man, with three COM
panions were walking on the con-
crete highway toward Minden. Mr..
Frey, accompanied by his wife. and
Misses Lillian and Florence Heit-
man, were on their way to Minden to
attend the Carson Valley Day cele-
bration. When near the Douglas
mill they met a car coming toward
Gardnerville, and has always been his
custom, Mr.. Frey dimmed his head
lights. After passing the car. Mr.
Frey, according to Mrs. Frey, who
was on the front seat of the auto
mobile with his. reached down to turn
the lights back to bright. At that
moment, she saw three men step on
the concrete. and was Mortified to see
another form in the direct path Of
the machine. Before she could speak
the car hit the unfortunate man. His
arm hit the headlight, breaking out
the glass. The impact whirrled him
partly around and the fender struck
his body knocking him down. Ac-
cording to Mrs. Frey. they were
travelling about twelve miles an hour
when the accident occurred and i'm
medlately stepped the car. The in
jured man was bleeding and he was
placed in the Frey car and brought
to Gardnerville for medical treat
ment.
At first 1t was thought that his hip
was broken. but x-rays taken reveal
ed the fact that his pelvic bone was
fractured.
The accident was very unfortunate
and no blame can be attached to
either party. Had the unfortunate
man known that a car was about to
strike him, he would have stepped
off the pavement and avoided the in
jury he sustained. On the other hand
Mr.. Frey has the reputation of being
one of the most careful automobile
drivers in this section, and being
blinded by the headlights from the
approaching car, did not see the man
who was in direct path of his car un-
til too late to avoid the collision.
Thus far, one human life has been
taken, and score of injuries have
resulted on the Observation-Disclosures
highway which is used by automobiles
and pedestrians alike.
While working on the Hickey
ranches in Antelope Valley some two
years ago, Mr.. Albarez had his leg
broken in a runaway accident and
was laid up at the East Fork hotel at
this place for several weeks. Mr.
Albarazs injury will keep him In bed
| for six or eight weeks.

BIG CROP OF
FINE BERRIES
George Hussman is Harvesting
Twelve Crates of Straw
berries Daily

George Hussman, last year planted
three-quarter acre tract to straw
berries as a matter of experiment.
The plants thrived and last year gave
fair yield. Special care was given
the plants this spring and despite the
cold and unfayorable weather, are
now bearing prolifically and has high
as twelve crates of choice berries are
being picked daily.
Last year Mr.. Hussman made no
attempt to market the berries, but
gave them away to friends. This year
he has engaged pickers and is sell
ing the berries at $240 per case and
is having no difficult of disposing of
the crop. However. the production
is daily increasing as weather condi-
tions improve and this week he an
nounces that orders will be taken and
filled Immediately.
Those of Carson Valley who have
formerly placed orders for Cali
fornia berries for preserves and jams,
should sample the Strawberries now
being marketed by Mr.. Hussman.
They are of superior flavor, large In
size and excel anything in the berry
line that comes from California.
Drive out to the Hussman ranch
and see the largest berry patch In The
state of Nevada.

TOTEST MOTOR
VEHICLE LAW
GinOcchiO Bros. Hold That New
State Law Conflicts and Is
Unconstitutional

Following up his expression of
opinion that the act passed by the
recent legislature giving county COM
missioners the power to issue permits
to persons operating auto trans
portation services is unconstitutional
L. d. Summerfield, Washoe County
district attorney, Monday obtained a
writ of mandamus from the supreme
court on behalf of Ginocchio Bros.
for the purpose of testing the law in
the court of last resort, says the
Carson News.
An alternative writ of mandamus
was issued by Justices Ducker and
Coleman commanding the public SER
vice commission to pass upon Ginoc-
on June 18th why they should not dc
So
The petition filed by Ginocchio
through L. D. Summerfield and Har-
land L. Howard, his attorneys, states
that the application was presented to
the public service commission on
June 7th and that commission re-
fused to entertain II Tor the reason
that the law of 1923 gave that func-
ton to he couny commissioners.
1t is contended that in giving the
power to the county commissioners
the act conflicts with sections 20 and
q article of the state constitution
and isc a wrongful delegation Of leg.
islative power to the county COM
missioners.
The petitioners contend the new
law is invalid and the law of 1919 Is
still the only law so that If they de
not get a lawful permit they will
incur fines and penalties. The serv-
ice they propose to engage in is the
transportation Of freight from Carson
City and Minden points to points or

YOUNG LADY
Miss Dryer of San Francisco,
Gifted Writer and Linguist,
Dies in Reno

Miss Louise Dryer, who has made

arrival from Germany a number of
years ago, died in Reno Saturday
from diabitis. The young lady was
taken i'll in San Francisco and upon
recommendation of her physician,
came to Carson Valley two weeks
ago for much needed rest. While
here her condition grew alarming and
she was taken to Reno for medical
treatment. She was beyond medical
aid, however, and death resulted
The remains were brought here and

Paul H. Felten of the Lutheran
Church. Interment took place in the
Fredericksburg cemetery.
The deceased was linguist of
more than ordinary ability and
possessed much literary talent. The
following was written by Miss Dryer
a short time before her death and Is
one of many poems written by her:
WHY2
You ask of Life its reason?
Ask why the water flows
And whence the tint of roses
On Autumn breezes blows!
You say that Life has only
Graves for your fairest hopes.
Does Springtime mourn its blossoms
That died on wintry slopes?
There is a Purpose, Sweetheart,
SO strangely great and strong,
No lips can make its meaning
The Captive of Song.
Give me your hand and follow
With me the rivers bend,
Well see why waters ever
Rush to the rivers end.
And let us cheer the Others
On selfsame quest as We;
So shall we find life's reason
Sweetheart, for you and me.

PROGRESS OF
ENFORCEMENT
Staggering Amount Collected
In Fines Throughout the
United States

A voluminous report on the activi-
ties Of the government in the sup
preston of the liquor traffic and the
drug evil was made public this week
by the office of prohibition for Ne
vada on the occasion through Capt
J. p. Donnelley, director of prohibit
ton for Nevada, marking the second
anniversary of Mr.. Haynes tenure of
office.
The report shows that during the
period from June, 1921 to and in
cluding March of this year 65,76O
criminal cases and $500 civil cases
involving alleged liquor violations
were begun in the federal courts. OF
these civil cases the government sue
eessfully prosecuted 2314 and con-
nal cases. Criminal fines imposed for
y .ctions were secured in 1895 crimf
the period of July /, 1921 to Jnne 80,
1922. amounted to sf,041, ,456.03 and
for the same period fines collected
aggregated s2,S24 ,6s5.O1. For the per-
iod July /. 1922 to April 80, 1928, fines
imposed amounted to s2,755.S91. A.
No report on collections for this
period has been compiled.
With reference to injunction pro-
ceedings, the report says: "Califor-
mia. Illinois and New York stand
out above all other states in the pro-
gress of this work. Illinois takes the
credit for being the father of liquor
H..
ing the first state to institute in
junction proceedings in liquor cases
and to date some one thousand tenn
porary injunctions have been secur-
ed and numerous places have been
closed or allowed to remain open on
bond under permanent injunctions. +"
And the report has considerable to
say concerning smuggling, including
"The smuggling of any contraband
alwayh presents difficulties. Liquor
has merely been recently added to
the list of articles included in contra
band trade. The prohibition unit has
had very limited facilities for COM
batting this situation but the coast
guard and customs service has given
very excellent cooperation with their
very limited facilities. During the
fiscal year of 1922 these various
agencies seized eighteen vessels OF
foreign registery and eleven of Amer
lean registry with their liquor car
goes. Forty motor boats of various
types were seized for transporting
liquor in violation of the law, twenty
two arrests were made and consider
able quantities of whiskey and beei
were seized"

AS AN
EGG CENTER
Noted Market Expert Finds
Nevada Adapted to Raising
Poultry

Nevada Is a natural egg produc-
ing territory. Its seasons are favor
able. II does not have the extreme
heat or dryness to contend with as
do other sections and 1t is positively
silly for Nevada to ever import an
egg. Instead the egg production
should be the sources OF big reve-
nue. TO the state"
Stress was put in this statement
Saturday by Aaron Sapiro, character
lied as the worlds greatest market
Ing genius. in an address to officers
and members OF the state farm
bureau at the chamber OF commerce
In Reno. says the Gazette.
Mr.. Sapiro talked on cooperative
marketing. explaining how to organ
lie and what could be accomplished.
but three times during his talk. he
touched on the egg market and the
opportunities offered In Nevada along
that line.
Mr.. Sapiro explained that co-opera-
tive marketing should not be organiz-
ed TO make a few triling savings in
the purchasing OF sacks, boxes, etc,
but that IL meant a marketing system
by which the farmers market their
produce in an intelligent manner in
stead OF dumping 1t upon the mar
kets against each other.
To show the value OF cooperative
marketing he cited the tobacco in
dustry, explaining that 800 1000 fami-
lies In the United States grew tobacco
and OF this number 244,0O0 were
signed up which was that the growers
received for better prices for their
product, prevented dumping OF to-
bacco on the market. or Cutting any
one section and made a good profit
for the growers.
The speaker sounded a warning
against local so-called cooperative
marketing organizations, which he
said did not function properly, de-
claring $4,000 such organizations had
failed. He
AT the next session OF the Nevada
legislature, a cooperative marketing
bill should be passed similar TO that
in effect In twentyeight states in the
Union which specified how contracts
may be made and protects the grower
as well as the buyer,
He advised the organization OF
local units for buying, receiving and
grading OF produce but not for mar
keting. declaring that central
organization selling point was need
ed through cooperative marketing
with executives In charge which
were able to match brains against
the high priced buyers from the big
concerns.

MINING REVIEW
OF MONO co.
Properties at Masonic Bonded
and Activity Expected Dur
ing Coming Summer

As the results of recent strikes of
good ore in this district, two groups
of claims have been purchased by out
side interests, which plan extensive
development Campaigns, says a Ma
sonic special to Mining Topics.
New York men have purchased the
Success group of five claims, where
50-foot shaft has encountered a
most promising ore body. Four feet
across the bottom of the shaft assays
$12 per ton, while picked samples
from a rich streak run as high as
$1,000 in gold. A shallow shaft on
the ledge which runs the entire
length of the property opened ore
averaging $17 per ton in values.
A $4,000 bond and lease for five
years on the Ripper group of five
claims has been given to DR.. o. l..
Miner of Palo Alto and Elmer Green
of San Francisco. Early in May the
ledge on which an incline shaft was
being sunk widened to six feet at a
depth of so feet, and continued to
widen as greater depth was reached.
Lowest assays show $40 per ton in
gold. Development work has started
with force of seven men.
Twelve men are employed at the
Chemung property. Last month a
bar of gold bullion was shipped from
the mine, which has only a two
stamp mill and cyanide plant work
ing. A 5OO0-yard gold dredger is to
be installed on the Dog Creek placer
claims near Dog Town, owned by j.
w. Van Winkel of Goldfield and j.
T. Ewing of Tonopah.
In the Lundy district the Parrett
mine has been bonded and leased for
ten years. Machinery for extensive
development work and two-stamp
mill will be installed immediately. A
emile power line is being built to the
Jackson and Lake View properties
Two experimental plants are being
erected for extracting gold from
Mono Lake water.

HEAVY FROST
DOES DAMAGE
Alfalfa Stunted by Continued
Cold Weather While Gardens
Suffer from Frost

Heavy frosts that have occurred
during the past several weeks have
resulted in considerable injury. not
only to garden truck, but to alfalfa
In Carson Valley The frost has
stunted the growth of alfalfa In MANY
parts CT the Valley, and while ON the
big ranches, haying will soon start.
on the smaller farms it does not
seem likely that haying will be in
fuil swing until after July 1st.
The cold, backward weather, that
has injured hay crops, has had a
very opposite bearing on growing
grain, and at this time both wheat
and barley crops never looked better,
according to farmers and a most ex-
eellent yield is expected this fall.
The prospects for full supply Of
water for irrigation during the sum-
mer months, Is most encouraging.
since the continued cold weather has
held back the flood waters and to
date the run-off has been unusually
light as compared with that of former
years.
From Crater Lake northwest of
Hope Valley, and looking across and.
over the mountain peaks in the Car
son river water shed, the western
slopes are still buried beneath great
drifts OF snow and the ice has not
yet left the small lakes In the higher
mountains. In the Wolf Creek
district, the snow is still Unusually
deep and feed in that section is just
starting, according to reports re-
ceiyed here this week.
The stunted growth of alfalfa will
not cause any material loss to farm
ers OF this section, especially on
farms where haying will not start
until July lst. All in all crop condl-
tions at this time and the prospects
for late crops. is above normal. ac-
