ENTERTAINMENT
GREAT SUCCESS
BIG CROWD ATTENDS THE
CHRISTMAS PROGRAM
AT MINDEN

The Christmas entertainment
bazaar and dance held at Minden
Monday night was attended by a
record-breaking crowd. Although a
large number of extra chairs and
benches were placed in the hall the
seating capacity was not sufficient
to accommodate the crowd and many
were forced to stand during the per-
formance.
THE Christmas Garden" portray
ed by score or more little children,
clad in brown costumes, the winter
coloring OF flowers. They begged the
Sun, out of his heart of goodness, To
ltransform them into their summer
beauty. This he did, and the Christ
mas garden appeared In all the glory
and beauty OF summer, each child
costumed to represent a flower. Those
having speaking parts did exception
ally well and the chorus singing by
the children, as well as the solos,
hit a responsive chord with the audi
ence and they were accorded echoing
applause.
Tiny Zoe Bridges, in a specially
dance, Vanity, won the hearts of the
big audience. Costumed In black
and under the spot light she re-
sembled big doll as she kept per-
feet step with the music. Every step,
and every movement of her body
portrayed vanity and the little lady
was as cute and graceful as could be.
Between acts the Filipino orchestra
entertained the crowd In it's ac-
customed splendid manner.
Following the entertainment, the
floor was cleared for dancing, music
being furnished by the Everett
orchestra. While the dance was in
progress the ladies of the Minden
Fortnightly set up booths at the side
of the hall and fancy work and the
like were placed on sale and found
eager buyers. The candy booth pre-
sided over by Miss Muriel Littlefield
and Mrs. Roy Williams, was the most
popular and large amount of home
made candy found quick sale.
Through the sale of fancy goods
and candy, the ladies of the Minden
Fortnightly club raised a substantial
sum which will be expended for
playground equipment at the Minden
school.

HAY CROP SOLD

Loyelock's surplus alfalfa hay, esti-
mated by the best authorities to total
10000 tons, will largely go to middle
western cities as the result of well
fostered local movement which has
for its purpose the conversion of un-
sold hay into cash to admit of an
increased Lovelock trade balance. AL
ready several carloads have been dis
patched to Missouri river points from
the local Southern Pacific station and
hay baling crews are working fever
ishly to overcime delays occasioned
when erroneous impression was
broadcasted relative to opportunity
in the middle west.
Without outside interference and
jockeying Lovelock districts surplus
hay would even now be largely mar
keted, according to local citizens best
informed on the subject
Notwithstanding a scarcity of live
stock in all western districts further
importations of feeder stuff, both cat
tie and sheep. are to be made into
this area, it is declared by several in
touch with affairs, and the little more
than one-half the usual number of
livestock now in this valley will be
gradually augmented unit hay and
livestock affairs will be about as
usual.
Especial promise for livestock men
is contained in the markets which
now offer more in profit for feeding
effort than for several years. Those
who sustained losses as result of
| feeding during the last two years
stand to recoup handsomely during
the present season and with this az
encouragement 1t is fairly certain
that another year will bring warm
competition for Lovelock Valley fof
age by those anxious to convert II

ALFALFA PRICE
SHOWS ADVANCE
A NUMBER OF FARMERS
HOLDING HAY CROP
AT SIS PER TON

With the contracting of some 90
900 tons of Loyelock alfalfa hay for
Kansas markets, made possible by
tn lifting of the quarantine, the hay
market In Western Nevada has shown
a stiffening of prices during the past
week or ten days. A number of
sales have been made here for $l3
per ton while number of farmers
having choice hay are holding out
for SIS per ton. The latter price
prevails at Fallon and many believe
the price will take an advance over
that before grass starts In California
next spring.
Chas. Springmeyer estimates that
about 5000 tons of hay was balod
in Carson Valley this fall, a major
portion of which has already been
disposed of. He declares that farm
srs now engaged In dairying and at
the present price of butter-fat, re-
ceive at least s25 per ton for their
alfalfa hay. This is true where milk
ing machines are employed and the
work connected with their operation
is done by the farmer himself.
Where a mixer is employed, the
average herd will bring about $40
per ton for hay.
Farmers In Carson Valley. 1t Is
said, should receive at least 500 per
ton for their alfalfa hay, In order to
meet the present high cost of pro-
duction and leave fair margin of
profit to the producer.

DANGBERG COMPANY FILE
APPLICATION FOR FLOOD
WATERS IN ALPINE

A storage irrigation project, the
largest in western Nevada yet at
tempted by private company. is
contemplated by the H. F. Dangberg
Land and Live Stock company of
Minden, as revealed by the applica-
tion filed by that company with the
Department of Public Works of
California, for appropriating food
waters in Alpine county end storing
same at Heenan Lake.
The Dangberg company has ap-
piled for 4160 acre feet of water per
annum to be diverted to storage at
the maximum rate of diversion of
sixt cen cubic feet per second from
what Is known as Monitor creek and
This water Is to be stored in Hee
nan lake and used to irrigate 3640
acres of land in sections 10. II. 10.

placed on file with the division of

Heenan lake offers one of the most
feasible water storage reservoirs in
Alpine county, and during the past
summer the project was surveyed
and all necessary preliminary work
connected Herewith was completed
by engineers in the employ of the
Dangberg company.
The decision of the Dangberg COM
pany to build this storage reservoir
was reached after it became evident
that the chances for vast irrigation
project for this Valley seemed re-
mote. Other farmers in this Valley
have made wonderful progress and
success of storing water for their
own use and the the new project
contemplated by the Dangberg COM
pany will make them independent of
water difficulties, furnishing in ad-
tion to their present water rights,
4,160 acre feet, estimated to be suf-
ficient to irrgate 3640 acres of land.

f. w. Carman Dies Suddenly
From Acute Indigestion

E. w. Carman, one of the best

Nevada, died suddenly at his Gard
neryille home Monday night at II

have been an attack of acute in
digestion.

and had not complained about feeling
Ill. At eleven o'clock he called his
wife and said he felt i'll and wanted
drink of water. Before he could
drink the water, however, he collaps-
ed on the bed and died instantly.
4. w. Carman formerly resided at
Cleveland, Ohio, and and came to Ne
vada about 25 years ago to engage
in mining. He first gave attention to
a mining property in Smith Valley
and a few years later organized a
company of Detroit people and took
over what was then known at the
Longfellow mine In Red Canyn in
the Pine Nut range. The best part
of his life was spent developing this
property and several times when
near the goal Of production, lack OF
funds stopped work. Just prior to
the war a complete mill was INSTALL
ed at Carman Heights, but before
placed in operation work ceased be-
cause of wartime conditions. Last
fall he went east and succeeded in
reorganizing the company and again
undertook the task before him. He
found in opening up the mine that
timbers had decayed and much un-
expected work was the result. This
summer the mine was cleaned out
and he expected to be able to crush
ore next spring.
In this mining venture Mr.. Car
man was sincere and every dollar Of
the stockholders money was expend-
ed as though 1t were coming out Of
his own pocket He demanded no
salary but gave his time and his
own private finances to bring sue
cess. Almost on the eve of what
he believed to be the turning point,
death claimed him and his passing is
untimely.
Most OF the past twenty years, he
and his wife resided at the mine, but
two years ago they took up their
residence In Gardnerville. Both Mr..
Carman and his estimable wife took
active interest in church work and
much of the recent success OF the
Methodist church was brought about
by their efforts. Mr. Carrman serv-

SENIORS TO Give

Arrival of Kitty" at this high school
auditorium tonight. The play is
said to be one of the best yet stag
ed by the students of the high school
and judging from that the people of

pointed. Former plays at the high
school have been far above the
average in amateur dramatics, the
senior class having several except

climax is so unexpected, so pleasing
that 1t will send you home feeling
