STOCK ON RANGES
LATELY INSPECTED

During the week a number of
quarantine officers have been on the
ranges in Mono and Alpine county
inspecting all stock to ascertain if
the foot and mouth disease is preva-
lent in those sections. The inspec-
ton of all stock on the ranges has
been made at the suggestion of live
stock owners of Carson Valley rang
ing stock in those localities, and who
are now desirous of returning their
herds to Carson Valley because of
the shortage of feed on the mountain
ranges.
The findings Of the inspectors re-
ported at a meeting held in Reno
yesterday afternoon, report of
which was not obtainable for this
issue.
The meeting to be held yesterday
afternoon at Reno was attended by
practically all of the livestock own
ers on this section that range their
herds on the Mono and Alpine
ranges.

AUTO GOES OVER
TAHOE GRADE

Plunging one hundred feet over a
precipitous embankment one the Lake
Tahoe road near Emerald Bay Mon
day afternoon, Mr.. and Mrs. w. NJ.
Feltus, 636 University avenue, and
Mrs. Isabella Hill, 422 University
avenue, were injured, Mrs. Feltus
seriously, while r. l.. Stiles, another
member Of the party escaped without
a scratch.
Mrs. Feltus was suffering in a To-
cal hospital today from numerous
conclusions and possible fracture
of the skull. Her husband and Mrs.
Hill were less seriously hurt, al
though the latter was under medical
treatment yesterday at her home,
says the Reno Gazette.
According to Mr.. Feltus, he lost
control of the car when the steering
gear broke and before he could stop
it, the machine tumbled over the
bank. Both Mr. and Mrs. Feltus
jumped from the car, and the latter
fell and rolled two hundred feet
down the rocky slope. Mrs. Hill and
Stiles were able to extricate them
selves from the wreck after the car
was stopped in its flight when it
crashed against rock.
Forest service men in the vicinity
gave immediate assistance and Mrs.
Feltus was taken into Truckee, later
being removed to Reno hospital.
A few minutes before the car leap
ed over the embankment, Feltus had
towed heavy automobile to solid
ground from a bed pf sand in which
it had become swamped.

Fire Does Damage
AT the French Hotel
New Fire Csern Just Completed Furnishes Adequate Waite
Supply for Power Pump and Saved Building from
Complete Destruction in Early Morning Fire

Early Wednesday morning the
French hotel, in Gardnerville, was
discovered on fire and only the
prompt response of the Gardnervlllo
fire department, with able assistance
of the Minden fire company saved
the building from complete destruc-
ton.
Shortly after seven o'clock smoke
was discovered pouring from the roof
Of the building, which is located in
the center of the business district
The alarm was Immediately given
but it seemed that the building was
hopelessly doomed. The Minden and
Gardnerville chemical engines went
into action and did good work pend
ing the running of seven hundred
feet of fire hose to the power pump
set at the new cistern above the
Ritchford hotel, which was completed
but few days ago, and which con-
tanned the only available supply of
water for fighting fire.
Within a short time flames burst
through the roof of the building and
despite the terrific heat firemen
climbed to the front wing of the
frame structure and within thirty
minutes had the fire under control
The old hand pump was brought into
action and with hose of the Minden
department, second stream was
thrown onto the burning building.
Fortunately there was no wind, in
which event it would have been i'm
possible to have saved the numerous
small buildings adjoining the French

HOLel.
While firemen were busy with
their work, willing helpers cleaned
the buildings of furniture when it
seemed that the Nelson & Luhrs
barber shop and other buildings were
doomed.
That the entire center of town was
not gutted by the fire, is entirely
due to the fire department in its
wise decision to sink a deep cistern
the work of which was only complet-
ed few days ago, which furnished
the only adequate supply Of water
in the town. The smaller cisterns
at the present time can be pumped
dry in five minutes and would have
been of no assistance in combating
the fire. In normal years there is
ample water in the two irrigating
bitches that run through town, but
owing to the shortage of water in the
Carson river, both bitches have been
dry most of the time during recent
weeks.
1t is believed that the fire at the
French hotel started from defective
wiring and had it's origin between
the ceiling and the roof of the build
ing.
The loss is estimated to be be-
tween $500 and $4,000, fully covered
by insurance.
Members of the Gardnerville volun.
teer fire department and citizens in
general are extremely grateful to the
members of the Minden fire company
and others for the splendid assistance
given in fighting the fire.

TOTAL LOANS
In AMERICA

Any totals given for the country
as a whole must be more or less
approximate, but the national asso-
citation of real estate boards recent
ly stated, after il had compiled a re-
port from the statistical data avail
able, including investigation OF re-
ports of the treasury department OF
the United States department OF COM
merce, the institute for research IN
land and public utilities, life insur-
ance statistics, and so ON, that a
conservative estimate of all loans
would reach the enormous sum OF
s24 $40, 100000. This report explains
further that the mortgage debt on
homes. farms and business properties
in the United States is increasing
almost one billion year. vi TINS
amount $404, ,250,000 is for the pur-
pose of financing business properties
and farm loans.
Two factors which have had a
tendency to discourage mortgage M
vestments in the past are the taxes
on the principal invested, this prac-
tically constituting double taxa
ton, and the high-yield, tax exempt
securities now upon the market. Bond
and mortgage investors are exertne
every influence to devise a way
whereby the holder of mortgage
bonds will not have to pay taxes up
on the invested principal in addition
to income and surtaxes. Just why
the capital invested in bonds or mort
gsges should not be classed Just the
same as capital invested in real os-
tate is not apparent unless it be that
loans for this purpose are consid-
cred as "favor" instead of bus r
ness transaction.

MADE IN
SCHOOL DISTRICT


At meeting held by the Board Of
County Commissioners Tuesday, . Pc
tition for withdrawal from school
district A and transferred to school
district B, signed by Louis Stodicck.
w. F. Stodieck, c. Henningsen, Geo.
Henningsen, C. M. Henningsen, H.
Frevert, all residing in what 10
known as the Waterloo section, came
up for final decision and after
lengthy discussion both for and
against the petition was granted as
prayed for.
While the matter of transfer of
the Waterloo district from the Gard
nerville to Minden district was under
discussion arguments were Of torid
nature and at times personalities
were brought in the issue.
Those who opposed the transfer
claimed that unless a good and suffi-
cient reason was advanced, school
districts should not be cut and slash
ed. After due consideration of all
angles of the question, the Commits
sioners voted to grant the petition
as prayed for.
Aside from the general principles
that instigated the petition, as grant,
ed by the board, those interested in
the welfare of the Gardnerville
school, feel that, for the good of the
local district and for the sake Of
complete harmony, it is better to al
low Withdrawals of those that are
dissatisfied in any way. Such con-
ditions are regrettable to say the
least, but if any advantage can pos
sibly result, in such changes as were
made Tuesday, everybody should feel
satisfied.

DONNELLEY OUT
AS DRY CHIEF

The resigation of Capt. J. p. Don
nelley, former director of prohibition
for the district of Nevada, who has
been the storm center of threaten
ed political upheayel here, has been
accepted, according TO information
which leaked through from Washing
ton and was confirmed today at pro-
hibtion headquarters at Reno, and
Charles A. Norcross, assistant diree-
tor, has retired for an indefinite pc
riod on 'leave of absence without
pay
1t became known today that Capt.
Donnelley's request to withdraw his
resignation after the United States
grand jury returned two indictments
against him some time ago, was not
considered by the prohibition com
missioner at Washington and his re-
signation became effective as of May
%. the date Of his suspension.
J. T. Taylor, field supervisor of the
department, who has been the acting
director in this district since shortly
after Capt. Donnelley retired, is ex-
pected to remain in charge until a
successor to Capt. Donnelley is ap-
pointed There are several appli-
eants for the appointment.
Until today it was assumed that
Capt. Donnelley was merely under
suspension pending the outcome of
the proceedings against him in the
United States district court in which
he is accused of failure TO make re-
port of certain asserted law viola
tons brought to his attention. Of
ficials who are supposed to be ia
miliar with the department as con-
eerned the Donnelley case have been
extremely retieent about the whole
affair since the Indictment was re-
turned and Donnelley was suspended.
The situation became somewhat
complicated when charges and coun-
ter charges were sent back TO Wash
ington against both George Spring
meyer, United States attorney, and
Charles A. Norcross, assistant to the
director, Springmeyer having been
accused Of making certain campaign
promises two years ago and Norcross
having been accused of using conf
Dental information on file in the Of
flee of the prohibition director to as
sist Donnelley in his defense against
the charges in the indictments.
Norcross retired last night on re-
quest for leave of absence without
pay until such time rs the Donnelley
case is disposed of. He recently con.
eluded vacation of two weeks and
had been back at his desk only few
days when he concluded to take his
leave without pay.
Capt. Donnelley rendered his resig
nation last May after his attorneys
were successful in disqualifying a
grand jury in the United States dis
trict court from further considering
the affairs of his office on the
ground that members of the investi
eating body were prejudiced. But
few days later when subsequent
grand jury indicted him, he announc-
ed that he would withdraw his resig-
nation and would fight the case to a
finish.
A few weeks ago Donnelley's at
torney interposed a motion to quash
the indictments but demurrers to this
motion presented to the government
We're sustained. The demurrers to
the indictments were filed by the de-
tense. These were argued and were
taken under consideration by Judge
harrington who has not yet announc-
ed his nclusions.-Gazette.

DESIRE FEDERAL
ADJUDICATION
Carson River Interstate River
and Federal Regulation Is
Desired by Fallon Farmers

FALLON, August 7.-(Special to
the Record -Courier)-At the meeting
held in Fallon Monday by the True
kee- Carson irrigation board at which
time the report of the attorneys for
said board was submitted and which
is published In full in this issue.
State Engineer Allen was present
and asked that the state be allowed
to adjudicate the Carson river mat
ter, giving the information that ad-
Indication Of the upper Carson rights
is nearing completion and will be
finished in about three months.
1t appears that the water users
and the reclamation officials at Fall
lon hesitate to accept state adjudi-
cation. taking the attitude that it is
an interstate matter subject to set
tlement only in the federal courts.
According to a motion passed at
the meeting held in Fallon, it was
proposed that adjudications be made
by the state and that efforts be
made to have them formally accepted
and settled by Judge Harrington of
the United States Court.
This method, it is claimed, would
save the water users of both Sec
tions great amount of money, if
successful. could be terminated in a
comparatively short time and would
avoid unnecessary litigation.
1t is the general feeling at Fallon
that a repetition of experiences gone
through the Truckee river matter,
that may not be settled for years,
should be avoided The Truckee-Car-
son Irrigation Board wishes to avoid
this enormous expense in settling the
Carson river rights through peaceful
adjudication.
