DANGBERG co. STARTS
WORK ON STORAGEDAM
Biggest System of Water
Conservation Attempted
Here by Private
Capital

What is termed as the biggest
storage system yet attempted in
Western Nevada by private capital,
has been started by the H. F. Dang
berg Land and Livestock Company
at Heynan Lakes, at the headwaters
of the East Fork of the Carson riv-
'er in Alpine county.
The Danbgerg company has had
this project under consideration for
number of years but deferred act
action pending contemplated plans of
Carson Valley Irrigation district.
Last fall the Dangberg company
definitely decided to carry the Hey
nan lake project to completion, and
engaged trucks to haul materials
and supplies to the reservoir site.
This spring as soon as the road was
opened to that section trucks again
began hauling lumber and cement to
point mile or so this side of the
lake and from there teams are en-
gagged in hauling over road in
accessible TO motor trucks.
This week N. p. Jensen, local build
er and contractor, went to the res
eryoir site to superintend building
forms for the concrete work and
within a short time construction on
the dam will be well under way.
When complete this privately own
ed storage system will conserve
about 10000 acre feet of water,
which will be used exclusively on the
vast holdings of the Danbgerg COM
pany in Carson Valley.
In the past few years a number of
farmers in Carson Valley have be-
come interested in the storage of
water. Among them are State Sena-
tor VIM. Dressler, VIM. Settelmeyer,
and VIM. Neddenriep and others.
By selecting natural reservoir sites,
1t has been possible, with limited out
lay of capital, to conserve sufficient
water to supplement the normal flow
during short seasons, and in every
instance the venture has proven sue
cessful.
The directors of the Carson Val
ley Irrigation district are not inact-
i've in the matter of storage problems
and it is understood that they are
now working on a plan to store
water at Double Springs. This is
a natural reservoir site, but consid-
cradle above the Carson river. By
a pipe line the flood waters of the
river can be carried into the propos-
ed reservoir This site would also
provide the possibility of developing
energy to the extent of sew
eral hundred horsepower, providing
n revenue for the venture other than
from irrigation. While no state
ment have been issued by the direct
ors of the irrigation, it is generally
believed that the Double Springs
project could be built for considerab-
ly less than the proposed Diamond
Valley reservoir. This however re-
mains to be worked out by engineers
and the relative cost of the two sites

ALPINE TO KEEP
QUARANTINE
Supervisors Vote Continue
Quarantine Despite Threat
From California

The governor of California, last
week notified the supervisors of AL
pine and Mono counties, that unless
the quarantine established for the
foot and mouth disease in those
counties was abolished, all work on
the highways leading to those Sec
tions would be withdrawn.
The board of supervisors of AL
pine county met last Thursday to
consider the proposition and when a
vote was taken, four of the super
visors supported the quarantine re-
strictions, and one voting to abolish
the stations.
1t is reported here that similar act
ion was taken by the supervisors of
Mono county, after leading stock
men had urged them to continue the
quarantine.

MAESTERENA SHEEP
DRIVEN TO ALPINE

Ten thousand head of sheep and
goats belonging to Julian Masterena,
were driven to the summer ranges
in Alpine county Sunday from winter
quarters in the San Joaquin Valley.
Because of the strict quarantine laws
in force in that county, the big herd
of sheep was carefully inspected be-
fore being admitted to the Alpine
county ranges.
Mr.. Maestrina owns one Of the big
gest bands of sheep that range in
that county and has extensive hold
ing there.
While practically all of the sheep
owners of this section travel about
in high powered automobiles, Mr..
Maesterena is an exception in this
respect, having no use for motor
vehicles and remains content to
travel about in blackboard drawn
by two faithful horses.

CRASSHOPPERS ARE
NUMEROUS HERE

In many adjoining counties, both
in California and Nevada, grass
hoppers have made their appearance
in large numbers this season and are
doing more or less damage to hay
and grain crops. The pests are re-
ported in Calaveras county, Califor-
MIA, in Smith and Mason Valleys as
we'll as in other agricultural sections
of Nevada.
Carson Valley is not free of the
pests and in some sections here they
are reported to be doing considerable
damage.

HUGHES OUTLINES
FOREIGN POLICY
America to Continue Co-Opera-
ton With League, Outside Po-
litical Entanglements

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-Seere-
tary of State Hughes has outlined
anew, very carefully, the position
of this government regarding co
operation with Europe and the
league of nations. His statement
of policy is regarded as very sig
nificant, in view of the renewed
agitation brought about by the
meeting of the league at Geneva
which has been intensified by evil
dent pressure from those who want
this country to enter the league.
This government has cooperated
with the league, and will continue
to cooperate with the league along
certain lines, Hughes sets forth
but not in matters which involve
political entanglements." The
United States will decide upon any
cooperation sought as each case
arises, judging it upon its merits
This country is still opposed to
alliances.
Hughes statement is contained
an a lengthy treatise on the foreign
policy of the administration which
has been issued under his signature
by the republican national commit
tee. While it is dated July 1, be.
fore the league meeting at Geneva
and developments abroad relative
to acceptance of the Dawes report,
lit is regarded as indicating the pol
icy that this government viii con
.tinue to pursue. 1t, of course, does
not cover the resolution of the
league for snother arms confer
ence, which Premier Macdonald, of
Great Britain, wants held in Eu-
rope.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. - In
asking women voters to align them
selves with the Democratic party
and to vote for John w. Davis for
president next November, we offer
three tests by which we ask them
to judge our party and our candi-

These tests are as follows:
F'irst-Party responsibility for
good government.
Second - Ability to solve the
problems before the nation.
Which is the best man
for the job?
On the question of political par
ty being responsible for it's acts
while in power, I ask that women
consider how we can insure good
government unless we punish a par
ty when it's record is bad, and re-
ward it when the record is good?
If a woman casts her vote for
President Coolidge this fall, she is
indorsing, or at least condoning, the

past four years.
