MOTORISTS HERE
LAST SUNDAY

Although the weather last Sunday
was not altogether favorable for pic
mic parties and out door life. 1t did
not keep everybody home and no less
that thirty automobile parties from
Reno. Carson and other Western Ne
yada towns, spent the day on the
Carson river below the power dam
Automobiles were parked in that
locality while men of the various
parties spent the day fishing. The
river was quite muddy. but despite
this handicap some very good catches
were made.
Quite a number endeavored TO
drive their cars TO Horseshoe Bend
but found the gate on this route
locked, to prevent entrance into Al
pine county, as a quarantine meas
ure. A number Of those thus dis
appointed parked their cars below
the dam and followed the course OF
the river to that point on foot.
Game Warden Bull was on hand to-
see that no one fshed in the closed
district above the dam, and he re-
ports that he found no violations at
that place.

INDIAN CHILDREN
FREE OF DISEASE

An examination of the Indian chill
dren at Dressierville carried on this
week by Dr. Barton. eye specialist
of the United States Indian Service,
disclosed the fact that not one
child had trachoma, an eye disease
peculiar to Indians Three or four
Of the Indian children, however, were
found to be suffering with infama-
tion OF the eyes, a condition resulting
from wind and sand.
Last fall Mr.. Scott, Indian Mission
ary. stated at a meeting Of the board
of County Commissioners held at
Minden that 33 out of the 80 Indian
children attending school at Dressler-
vile were suffering with trachoma.
This statement was based upon
ordinary belief, and the fact that the
expert sent out by the United States
government found no trace of the
disease was accepted with the ut
most satisfaction by those that are
deveting much time to the welfare
of the Indian children in this sec
tion.

way between Woodfords and Lake
Valley, was opened to automobile

made in 1870, when 1t was estimated
that 1t amounted to $2I 100000, or
$3.50 per capita. which was below the
level Of the rest of the country Ne
yada jumped TO SECOND place in her
per capita wealth in 1880, however
and took first place in 1890, a posi-
ticn that she has since held with a
heavy lead.
The total wealth of Nevada, the
report estimates Is s541.716.0o0, as
compared to sI5S. S.S5s,Oo0 in 1912.
In 1922, 1t says. her realty was
worth $255, ,469.0 900. her live stock

NOBODY Wild
ABOUT KLAN

A branch of the Ku Klux Klan
will not be established in Gardner
willie If lack of interest in that
organization is any criterion to &c
by The meeting held at this place
last Saturday night was attended by
less than fifteen men, the majority OF
that number attending only out of
curiosity.
Many that received cards of the
X. X. X. and later little red tickets
of admittance to the lecture, failed tC
show up.
The lecturer, said to be minister
of the Gospel prior to his connection
with the X. X. X. spoke for several
hours on the principles, hopes and
desires of the Ku Klux Klan. He
is an orator of more that ordinary
ability, according to reports and had
a convincing way of putting over his
arguments favoring this organization
The organizers will probably sue
coed in forming branches of the X
X. X. in the larger cities of Nevada
but little success will greet them in
the rural communities.

by George Tonkin, United States
game warden, who recently spent a

REV. FELTEN SPEAKS
on "SEA Of LIFE

Is:
Bits of gladness and of sorrow.
Strangely crossed and interlaid;
Bits Of cloudbelt and Of rainbow,
In deep alienation braid;
Bits OF storm when winds are war

Bits OF calm when blasts are
stayid,
Bits OF silence and of uproar.
Bits Of sunlight and OF shade.
And II Is more than fancy; It IS
stern reality. Like the Sea OF Cali

calm and sometimes stormy same-
times reposing under the soft smiles
of a sunshing sky. and sometimes
rnffled and whipped by the restless
