TWIN LAKES
DAM FINISHED

Despite the fact that early storms
greatly interfered with the construct
ion work at the Twin Lakes storage
reservoirs being built in Alpine
county by the Western States Gas
and Electric company. the project
will be finished before the winter
storms stop work.
The storms of the past few weeks
caused many Of the workmen to quit
their jobs. AS a consequence of this
condition work has proceeded under
difficulties in a number of the con-
struction departments. However, a
report from the lakes this week state
that the project will be completed
this fall, in fact is practically COM
pleted at this time, save the work
Of cleaning up and putting the finish
ing touches to the works
During the past summer a crew Of
approximately 300 men were employ
ed at the dam. Practically all of the
supplies and materials used in the
construction work passed through
Minden and Gardneryile, a good
share of which were purchased from
stores in this community. Four
large Mack trucks made daily trips
between Minden and Twin Lakes. be-
sides a number of smaller motor
freight conveyances and as a conse-
quence much money has been left
in this section by the Western States

PROPOSAL TO INCREASE
GRAZING FEES PROTESTED

Another matter which requires
the earnest thought and attention of
Nevada busines men concerns
proposal which is certain to be made
at a coming meeting of forest ser
vice officials that stock grazing fees
be increased TO an undue extent.

murea, says the Silver Stale Mr.
Sheehan is state senator and banker.
an acknowledged authority on mat
ters pertaining TO the livestock in
dnstry. lie said men prominent in
the stock raising industry are look
ing ahead with considerable appre-
hension to the proposal to raise the
fees materially, ann he feels that
such move will not only be dis
astrous to the industry involved but
also to all business dependent upon
the prosperity of that industry, which
means practically. the entire state of
Nevada and everybody I'm il. Asked
his opinion as to the best
method of preventing such increase,
which 1t is unerstood would prae-
ucally prohibit the cattle raisers
from ranging their herds in the ma
tional forests. Senator Sheehan said
that the only solution is organization
of livestock men for the purpose of
hiding means Of preventing the act

DUCK HUNTING
NOT SO GOOD

Duck hunting opened ON the 10th
Of last month with a bombardment
of great proportions and according
TO hunters wild ducks have been
wise enough to hunt less dangerous
haunts and stay there. As a conse-
quence duck hunting in Carson Val
ley has not been very good during
the past two weeks. What ducks
come in to feed on the marshes do
so at night and fly high in daylight.
These home-bred ducks are wise
birds. hunters say, but they are
patiently waiting the time when
northern ducks come south from their
breeding places. 1t is expected that
they will show less fear of hunters
and sail slowly down to within easy
gun reach and bring happiness and
fun game bags to the the hunters of
this vicinity.
Anyway, duck hunting is rotten,
or the sportsmen are bum shots, We
know not which. The first heavy
storms of winter will probably bring
in more ducks and hunters Will at
least get more shooting If not birds.
Let it be said. however. while the
majrity of the hunters are kicking
a few of the sportsmen go cut and
seem to have little difficulty in kill
ing ten or twelve birds.

Lincoln Highway
To End at Los A.

Recommendation that an alter

ment given out by him at San Fran

Hoag's recommendations, il adopt

the present the Lincoln highway
will make Los Angeles instead of
San Francisco its primary terminal,
that it will seek the construction of
new Salt Lake-Los Angeles roate,
and eoncyern itself with divertins

Frederick Meyers. chairman of the
good Dads committe of the San
Francisco Chamber of Commerce, nas
interested himself in the situation
and during a conference with Hoag
stated that San Francisco desired 70

nus. Finding Hoag opposed to such
policy he stated that he and others
would Immediately seek conference
with the principal officials OF the
Lincoln Highway Association.
Meanwhile. according to reports
coming from California. the Los

vigorously supporting Hoag's posi-
ton.

OIL BURNERS
BEING ADOPTED

VI ood and coal have been re-
lied upon almost entirely by the peo-
pie of this community for fuel, but
coal oil is to enter the field in COM
psttion TO the above fuels, number
Of Oliver burners having been sold
by f. w. Brenzel to Minden and
Gardneryille residents
Quite a number of oil burners have
been placed ON the market during
the past number of years all of
which have been more or less sue
cessful. The Oliver burner, however,
for which Mr. Brenzel is agent, has
all of the good qualities of other
burners with none of their drawbacks
A coal oil burner has been placed in
the cook stove at Mr.. Brenzel's home
and as a result of its perfect work
ing, a number of Gardnervile and
Minden people have placed orders
or Oliver burners for heating as well
as cooking stoves.
The Oliver burner generates gas
from coal oil and is easily controlled
by the regulators. 1t is started in
less than two minutes and throws
out a steady heat without any at
tendant dangers of explosion such as
may be erpected of gasoline. The cost
is materially less than either coal
or wood and cleaner than either The
burner creates a slight noise, but the
good qualities of this form
of heating far exceed the slight noise

some of the gasoline and lubricating
oils. which are used by the county
