NEVADA RAIL FARES TOO
HIGH SAYS FEDERAL OFFICIAL

Interstate passenger fares charged
on het main line railroads to and
from points in Arizona, New Mexico
and Nevada, are too high and should
be reduced to the 3.6 cents a mile
rate, which is effective In general
in other parts of the west, an exam
iner of the interstate commerce COM
mission reported in Washington, d.
c., in concluding an investigation in
to complaint brought by the Ariz-
ona public service commission and
commissions of other states concern
ed. II the examiners criticisms are
sustained by the commission in its
final consideration of the case the
existing schedules must be reduced.
In the three western states named,
the examiners report said, passenger
rates running as high as IA cents a
mile are applied, the railroads con-
tending that them ountainous char
acter of the country and the expense
of building and operating niles is a
Justification.
The examiner, however. suggested
that the commission allow the high
er rates to be maintained for branch
line service generally, but require
the carriers to give travellers over
main lines the benefit of rates SIM
liar to those existing elsewhere.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
TO ISSUE BIG ANNUAL

The junior class OF the Douglas
County high school. through their
class representative, Wednesday en-
tered into an agreement with the
Record-Courier for the printing of
the high school annual to be issued
about the 18th of May. In doing
this, the class proved its loyalty to
home institutions. a cut-rate printer
of Reno having made a bid on the
book that the Courier could
not meet. However. other reputable
printing concerns of Reno were con-
siderable higher in price per page
than could be secured at home.
The junior class has been prepar-
ing copy for the coming annual for
some months and promise to issue
the best book yet put out by the
students of the Douglas high school.

WEATHER REPORT

Weather conditions were never
more favorable in Nevada for the
preservation of moisture. says H. F.
Alps. head of the Reno weather bur-
eau. He reports snow in the val
leys melting slowly and that the
water instead Of running off is
going into the ground and further
that above an altitude of $500 feet
the snow in not melting at all, but
settling and retaining is water con-
tent.
"These conditions" he says, "indi-
cate an abundance of water for next
summer and the present fair weather
with warm days is excellent for
stock making two ideal conditions
from the weather standpoint in Ne
vada."
The weather map still shows a
high pressure area all over the
country with clear skies and average
warmth mostly. The center of
the high pressure is in the middle
west. The map reveals no storm
centers and there is little likelihood
of an immediate change in the pres
ent fine weather we are enjoying.

ENGINEER BOYLE
EXAMINS SEWER

Emmet D. Boyle, former governor
of Nevada, and who Is now following
his profession. that of a civil engi-
neer, with Office in Reno. was in
Gardnerville several days this week
inspecting the sewerage system,
preparatory to filing a report with
the board of county commissioners
relative to the efficiency and COM
pletness of the work of the con-
tractors, before 1t Is accepted by
the board for the tax payers of Gard
nerville.
Tests were made on the various
pipe lines running through town and
various phases of the system. Mon
day the new fire engine was taken
out to pump water into the flush
tanks to ascertain whether or not
they functioned properly.
1t is understood that the action
of the board of county commissioners
will be governed entirely by the re-
port to be made by engineer Boyle.

MOUNTAIN OF
TOOTH POWDER

About thirty miles from Tonopah,
in the midst of a sagebrush desert,
rises Mount Superdent, composed of
fine diatomaceous material and which
is being manufactured into the finest
tooth powder.
1t was discovered by Mack Foster,
a prospector of the southern country
while on one of his trips through ad-
jacent mountains, coming upon this
huge mountain of snow white rock,
he was puzzled to know just what
sort of formation it was. After ex-
amining the rock and even chewing
some of it, he exclaimed, why, darn
my eyes, If l haven't found a noun
tain OF tooth powder"
This is just exactly what 1t has
proved to be, millions of tons of it,
and enough to clean the teeth of
every man, woman and child until
the end of time.
In company with another prospect
or. Jim Ferwick, the claim was
staked as Mt. Superdent and with e.
N. Richardson, Fenwick & Foster
formed company to mine tooth
powder. The company has put
things over on a big scale and the
powder is selling as they express it,
like hot cakes"
1t is also noted for its wonderful
curative powders in pyorrehae, also
as an antiseptic powder, indorsed by
physicians.
Many other uses are being found
for this wonderful product, such as
silver polish, nail polish and sham
poo.
The Superdent powder is being in
troduced all over the world by the
Nature Products company of Tono-
pah, of which E. N. Richardson is
publicity director.
The Star Pharmacy of this place
has taken the agency and from the
sales already being made, 1t prom
ises to be one of the best sellers in
that line.
Attention is called to the new ad
in this issue for Superdent.

IRRICATIONISTS
MEET AT CARSON

Last Friday representatives of the
three great irrigation district In Ne
vada, together with others interested
In irrigation proposals met at the
governors office in Carson for the
purpose of expressing their views
on the poposed changes In the ir-
rigation laws embodied in bill now
before the legislature. Representa-
tives from the Newlands project, the
Walker river district and Carson
Valley district were present, and ac-
cording to reports the meeting was
anything but harmonious and a vast
difference of opinion existed among
those present as to the fairness of
the various sections of the new bill
This opposition, 1t is reported, ex-
listed mainly from the standpoint that
provision should be made allowing
any landowner In a district to with
draw his holdings from the district,
thus eliminating the responsibility
Of any debt contracted by the dis
triet for promoting and building
storage systems. This request comes
from those holding vested water
rights and they ask that an amend
ment be made to cover this point.
Yesterday 1t was reported that a
second meeting will be held In Car
son at the end OF this week with the
hope that an amicable agreement be-
tween the different land owners may
be reached.

SPUD MARKET
DEMANDS GRADE

The Nevada potato market is
doomed unless more up-to-date grad
ing and packing methods are insti-
tuted by the growers.
This Is the concensus of opinion OF
San Francisco. Oakland and Sacra-
mento wholesale produce dealers
who have replied to letters from the
state farm bureau requesting their
analysis of the potato situation in
Nevada, says the Humboldt Star.
The monopoly that Nevada and Or
egon maintained over coast markets
from January to June has passed,
these dealers assert, and will never
be the same again. Idaho and Col
orado, the smaller producing states,
are looking to California as a mar
ket for several thousand carlots Of
potatoes yearly.
Competition has resulted In very
much higher standards In these
other sections, and II Nevada wants
to remain in the same game she will
have to follow suit. Nothing has
worked more to the detriment Of the
potato growers of Nevada than the
antiquated, slipshod, unbusinesslike
methods, says a San Francisco deal
er.
THE greatest trouble with Nevada
potatoes, and the condition that
keeps most dealers away from Ne
vada. is the total lack of any stand
ard grading" says another. There
are growers who grade their potatoes
properly, throwing out all the under
sized, crooked. cut and otherwise
undesirable, but the greater pro-
portion of the growers do not do So
This acts to the disadvantage of ev-
cry grower"
A large Oakland commission mer-
chant declares Nevada will never
become much of factor in the po-
tato business until growers grade
their potatoes and adopt standards
similar to those In Idaho" while
another dealer in the same city main
tains growers are not putting up
an honest pack, and 1t is only a
question of time before they will be
out OF the potato business, especially
IL we have more years like this,
when potatoes are not bringing
much"

DAIRYING NOT A DRUDGERY
AMONG PROGRESSIyES

A sentiment prevails almost uni
versally among farmers that the
dairy business is one of drudgery
and continuous round of 365 days
out Of the year. 1t may be so, but
II it is, says the Parific Dairy Re-
view, then the cowless farmer is
about the only exception to the rule
of .mer in all CLOSES of industry.
The men, and we may include wom-
en- as we'll, who are not busy at
some calling or another through
out the year are mighty few and far
between in this world and the OBJ
jects of pity.
The dairy business offers a year
around job to the farmer and his
family. and asteady job is great
thing. II you do not believe it,
ask the unemployed. Iii the final
analysis all business rests on the
utilization of human labor, ply
sical or mental. Is there a business
through which one can sell his
labor to a better advantage than
through the medium Of the dairy
COW? No. the dairy business is not
one of drudgery any more than the
average line of business, but is a
steady job and invariably a profitable
one.

DOUGLAS DIVIDE
HONORS In GAME

At the basketball game played here
last Friday evening, the Douglas
teams divided honors with Fallon.
the visiting girls winning by a score
of 3S to 80, while the Douglas boys
won from Fallon by score of
Is to "a.
The Douglas girls, while playing q
remarkably good game. were not
blessed with one bit OF luck and
every score made was the direct re-
suit of hard work. On a number OF
occasions throughout the game the
ball was tossed directly into the
basket, only to spin around on the
iron hoop and finally roll OFF to
one side. Luck did not give them
an even break, while the visitors
seemed to be ruled by their lucky
star. making baskets from doubtful
shooting. Leona Currie, Gardner
yille's center did some remarkable
playing In this game and was ad-
mirably supported by her team
mates.
In the boys game not many min
utes had passed before it was evi-
dent that the Douglas boys were not
only faster but were the masters OF
the Fallon boys. While the score,
at times was close, the home team
seemed confident of holding their
lead which they i'd with comparative
ease
BY many present the boys game
was characterized as being the fast
est game every played on the local
court.
Preceding the main games, the
Gardnerville grammar boys played
the high school juniors and 1t is evil
dent that there will be no lack of
players for the high school team in
years to come.
Following the games the Luhr's
orchestra played for a social dance.
