WATER CASE IN
DISTRICT COURT
Springmeyer Applica-
ton for Withdrawal
Goes Over Until 18th

The petition of the II. II. Spring
meyer Land q Development COM
pany to exclude their lands from the
Carson Valley Irrigation District,
came up for hearing in the District
Court at Minden Monday before
Judge Ballard Geo. Sanford repre-
sented the Irrigation district while
Geo. Springmeyer acted as counsel
fer the Springmeyer company.
Attorney Sanford had filed a
motion to the petition in which 1t
was set forth that ii was not within
the jurisdiction of the court under
the existing law. Brief argument
followed and Judge Ballard over
ruled the motion to dismiss the act
ion.
Monday and the biggest part OF
Tuesday was given over to witnesses
of the Springmeyer company in sup
port of the contention that their
holdings have been irrigated for
over a period of fifty years. That
every foot of the company's hold
ing is under cultivation and that
no sagebrush or uneultivated land
is owned by them. That for the
period extending over fifty years.
good and sufficient crops have been
raised on their holdings through
water rights of 1858 and 1857.
1t was brought out by H. H. SPRING
meyer that the company also own
ed 1900 shares of stock in the Al
pine Land & Reservoir company and
during dry years, water was secured
from this source to supplement the
water of their vested rights.
The Springmeyer company sets
forth that because they already have
sufficient water for all requirements
of producing crops on their holdings
they wish to- be excluded from tn ,
irrigation district as provided by law
in such cases.
Carson Valley Irrigation District,
through its board of directors, con-
tested the allegations set forth by
the Springmeyer mpany an d

would be benefited through the pro-
posed irrigation project.
Many interesting points were
brought out at the hearing having to
do with water rights and the estab-
lishment of bitches in Carson Val.

CHURCH

Basing his discourse ON the Gospel
story OF the healing of the woman
diseased for ~ years and then rails
ing OF the daughter of the Jewish
ruler by Jesus, Rev. Felten will
answer the question Sunday morn
ing: How can faith do such great
things?" Was there any connect
ion between faith and these mira
cies? Is faith nothing more than to
think a thing true? Does Satan be-
lieve? Is faith an almighty power?
Most everybody has some kind OF
faith. Is 1t true. as some say. that
no matter what one believes, as
long as he is sincere. his faith will
save him? What is true faith, and
can true faith fail? These and like
important questions will be answer
ed. services commencing at 1880
o'clock.
Tomorrow the confirmation class
Will assemble at 10 a. m. and the

Douglas Grid Players
Lose at Yerington

The Douglas high school football
team was again defeated by Yering-
ton at the later place last Saturday
by a score of 46 to 0, two points less
than in the former game.
That the Douglas eleven is on the
improve, is evidenced from the fact
that it was necessary for Yerington
to keep their first-string men in the
game played Saturday, while at the
former contest, second-string men
were played by Yerington.
AS stated before, tie Douglas
eleven had no hopes Of winning any
games this season, realizing that in
experienced players could not COM
bat with teams that have been on
the gridiron for several years. How
ever, the Douglas boys have succeed
ed in getting lot of good exper-
ience and by next season expect TO
make it hot for some of the teams
that have romped over them this
year.

Income Tax Forms
To be Sent Out Soon

With the announcement by Louis
A. Spellier, collector of internal rev.
enue. that the first forms to be used
in reporting incomes for the calendar
year, 1928 have been released and are
ready for distribution comes the in
itial reminder that the time is rapid
ly approaching when all taxpayers
will be called upon to contribute their
quota toward the maintenance of the
federal government in 1924.
The collector announces that the
first forms to be released will be
what are generally known as in
formation returns" officially classi-
fled as Forms 1896 and 1899. They
are used for reporting salaries paid
during the calendar year. Each en-
ployer, whether corporation or indi-
vidual, is required TO report on
Form 1899 the name of every en-
ploye to whom was paid $1,000 or
over during the calendar year, the
report to show the exact amount paid
to each such employe. Form 1896 is
the supporting schedule for the 1899
forms. The form must be obtained
on application to the collector of in
ternal revenue and will be distribut-
ed by the collectors office, and must
reach the office of the commissioner
of internal revenue at Washington,
D. c.. not later than March Is, 1924,
in order to avoid penalty for delin-
quency. In previous years many de-
linquencies have occurred through
failure to obtain the forms because
of their late release. This year the
internal revenue bureau hopes to re-
duce the number of delinquencies by
releasing the forms prior to the
close of the calendar year.

CHAUTAUQUA
SHOWS DEFICIT
Ten of Committee are
Called Upon to Put
Up $115.OO.

The Ellison White Chautaqua has
come and gone. For five nights the
people of this community had the
opportunity to hear some exceeding
ly high-class musical numbers, a
remarkable lecture and to witness
play of merit staged by COM
pany of real artists.
Before the Chautauqua would come
to Gardnerville ii was necessary for
ten citizens to sign contract
guaranteeing or underwriting the
affair for $500. In other words the
committee guaranteed the Ellison
White company that $500 worth of
season tickets would be sold. The
committee also agreed to furnish a
hall, well lighted and heated, and a
piano. Also to provide door keep
er. ushers and a few dozen other
things OF the single admissions the
committee was to receive % per cent
The contract also stipulated that in
the event that a balance was left
after the Ellison White company re-
ceived their $500 the money was to
be held in fund for the benefit of
the next Chautauqua. On the other
had, If the $500 was not forthcom-
ing from the sale of tickets, the COM
mite was bound to dig up the deficit
from their private resources. The
deficit amounted to more than 500
on this occasion and the members
of the committe besides giving up
considerable time in an endeavor to
put the proposition over, bought
tickets the same as did everyone that
attended, paid the same price and
on top of that dug down in their
pockets for $11.50 each.
A year hence a representative of
the Ellison-White company. will un-
doubtedly visit Gardnerville and
il possible hunt out ten enterpris1ng
and public spirited citizens to sign
the contract on the dotted line. The
advance representative will be a
handsome young lady, gifted with a
flow of language that is destined to
melt the hardest heart. There are
at least ten persons in Gardnerville
who will meet the young lady with
/ a pleasant smile but heart so hard
that a steam hammer would not
make the slightest impression. Yes,
we all like Chautauquas; they are
fine and we will buy season tickets,
but the guarantee, no. No, NO, N0!-
That's what the Chautauqua COM
mittee says.
