State Championship is
Mooted Question
at This Time

In reviewing the football standing
Of the various high schools in West
ern Nevada, the Carson Appeal has
the following to say.
AS a result of the defeat of the
Reno high school team by the Love
lock eleven at Loyelock Saturday,
only one Western Nevada high school
football eleven remains undefeated
and the championship is as far from
determination at it was at the be-
ginning of the year.
"The lone undefeated team is Yer
ington, which has played only Gard
erville and Lovelock.
Carson has garnered ninety-nine
points in her three contests to her
opponents 10. Fallon by virtue of
a 1920 victory over Gardnerville, has
total of 126 to opponents seven.
Sparks has been unable to score
against three opponents, while they
were running up forty points, while
Lovelock has percentage of 800 in
the point column with twenty for and
twenty against. Reno, supposed to
be one of thestrong contenders for
the championship, has earned four
teen points to the opposition's seven
and Yerington has made fifty-five to
six in the two games played. Gard
nerville is having her first year of
football and has not an impressive
record"

Storage Irrigation Brings
Prosperity to Smith Valleu

Ihe nnal realization of storage
irrigation system for Antelope Val
ley through the completion of the
Topaz Lake project, has brought re-
newed activity to the agricultural
and business interests of that fast
growing section. There is a more
noticeable air of prosperity prevalent
In Smith Valley at this time than
every before In the history of that
district.
The people there, some years ago.
were greatly benefited by the advent
OF the Simpson ditch, an irrigation
scheme put over by Frank Simpson
Then came the work of building the
Saroni canal and the possibility of
subdividing the old Weymour ranch,
vast tract of land beyond Yelling
ton. The ditch was built at great
expense, but for one reason or
another colonization of the vast tract
did net proceed as rapidly or as sue
cessful as was expected.
Disappointments were many and
for this reason few were not favor
ably inclined to the new storage
system, fearing something would hap
pen to bring about failure. The
more progressive farmers. and there
were many of them, put their should
ers to the wheel and the storage
system was completed. During the
past season lands in Smith and Ante
lope Valley have been irrigated from
this project and for the first time in
history they have hand plenty of
water to mature crops. And the re-
suit is added hay and grain crops,
acre upon acre of splendid potatoes
and garden truck. With increased
hay production, more dairy cows
and beef cattle are being stocked by
farmers and an air of prosperity
does manifest itself throughout the

A few pranks were put over by
super-enthusiastic youths that would
not have been done under more
sober thought, but as a whole the
youngsters did not destroy property
and other distasteful pranks as re-
ported at Reno.
goodly number of the populance
of the community spent several
hours Wednesday morning gathering
up their belongings, and while they
did not betray any outward feeling
of soreness, they more than likely
cussed the kids in one BREATH and

of their own past deeds darted back

SMALL CLAIMS
KNOCKED OUT
Judge at Reno Says
New Law Will Not
Hold Fire

The legislative act creating the
small claims court was knocked into
cooked hat by Judge George A.
Bartlett Monday morning. when the
matter of its constituiienality was
argued by attorneys. While the opin-
ion of Judge Bartlett was oral, he
stated that the law was flagrantly
unconstitutional and that in order
that the records might be kept intact
he would render a short opinion in
writing to that effect.
The small claims court permitted
suit for lesser amounts to be made
without resorting to the assistance
of attorneys, plaintiff and defendant
in such actions appearing in person
before the justice of peace. There is
such law operating in other states,
but in Nevada, the bill was so
passed by the legislature that its
was in question and
the measure has met the fate that
was expected.

home team has acquired a few new
plays during the past ten days which
they hope will be of some assistance
in breaking up the line of defense of
their opponents. They have also
strengthened up their own line and
hope to be able to hold the Yering-
ton lads to mere even score.
