TICERSLOSE
TO INDIANS

Last Saturday the boys football
team of Douglas County High School
went to Stewart Indian School where
they played their third football game
of the season. The game was hotly
contested for few minutes, and then
the Douglas boys seemed to go to
pieces with a result that they lost by
the score of 10 to o.
The two teams were evenly match
in weight, but the Indians excelled
as to players. Immediately follow
ing the kickoff at the start of the
game the Indians made touchdown.
The Tigers were playing a very poor
brand of ball so that the Indians
went through them at will. End runs
gained the most for the Indians al
though they used many line plunges.
On the offensive the Tigers played
very poorly also. Many plays were
tried, but none worked very well.
On several occasions however, fairly
large gains were made by end runs.
Two or three times the Tigers were
within striking distance of their goal,
only to lose the ball either on downs
or by fumbles at critical moments.
No man on the Tigers team played
his regular brand of football except
the captain. Edgar Anderson.

CAMPAIGN VERY
QUIET AFFAIR

With election a little more than two
weeks distant, this campaign will go
down in history as being one of the
quietest ever known in this section.
In county politics there is but one
contest, that being for constable, Chris
Jespersen being an independent candi-
date for that office while A. W. RAM
say seeks election on the Democratic
ticket.
Sam Arentz, Republican candidate
for Congressman, has made several
trips to the Valley in recent weeks,
and he is the only candidate that has
favored this community with his pres
ence.
While during former presidential
elections at least one or more national
speakers of both parties have address
ed the people of this county, it ap-
pears likely that during the present
campaign, if it can be called a CAM
paign, not one speaker will be sent to
this community. Politics is the last
thing that anyone will discuss at the
present moment and it would appear
that voters have pretty well made up
their minds as to whom they will cast
their ballot at the coming election and
are not taking any interest in how the
other fellow will vote.

OPTION ON
Old MINE
Willard-McD Now Con.
trolled by Carson Valley
Mines c o m pany
COMPANY CAN SELL
STOCK IN CALIFORNIA
F. c. Everett Reports Deal ID
Pending for the Purchase
of Arse n i c Mine

Frank C. Everett, president of the
Carson Valley Gold Mining company
accompanied by his nephew, Pat Ev-
erett, returned from a business trip
to Sacramento last Saturday and the
former reports that his company has
been issued a permit to sell stock in
California. Before mining stock can
be sold in California it is necessary
for a commission to pass on the mer-
its of the property desiring to sell
stock and is known as the "Blue Sky
Law"
Mr.. Everett also reports that his
company has exercised the option held
on the Willard Mcdonald mine, the
purchase price being paid to Frank
Fettic and Robt. Trimmer and asso-
eiates of Genoa.
Beside valuable gold deposits on the
Willard Mcdonald property Mr.. Ever
EFT has during the past summer de-
veloped an arsenic deposit near the
Mountain House and adjoining the
Willard Mcdonald. During recent
months experts have visited the prop
erty and their Investigations have
lead to the statement that it is the
largest body of arsenic ore in the
United States. A deal for the pur-
chase of the arsenic deposits is now
pending and if it is consummated it
is not improbable that a reduction
works will be erected on the property
for treatment of the ore.
Mr. Everett expects to continue work
at the Willard Mcdonald throughout
the winter months.

INDIAN SUMMER
ATLAKE TAHOE
Visitors to This Famous Play
ground Sunday Declare Re-
sion Exceedingly Beautiful

If the great mountains that surround
Lake Tahoe are beautiful in the sum-
mer, they are gorgeous in October
when bathed in clear atmosphere of
an Indian Summer day, such as last
Sunday was, according to those that
made the trip to that region and
spent the day there in the vicinity Of
Emerald Bay, unmatchable for its
scenic beauty.
The storms of last week were suffi-
cient to lay the dust and put the noun
tain highways in excellent condition.
Nature has FURNISHED every clump of
cotton woods and quaken asp in gol-
den cloak of shimmering leaves, while
the giant pines send forth their exhil-
Grating balm that causes one to ex-
pand their lungs to the fullest and
drink in the pure mountain air, the
purest in all the world.
Along the highways in the higher
attitudes the first fall of snow of the
season covered the ground but the
warm balmy sun belied the evidence
of approaching winter. The mountains
off to the southwest of Hope Valley
are covered white and will remain so
no doubt until next summer. At no
time of the year is the atmosphere so
clear as in October and mountains
miles and miles in the distance look
to be at your very feet.
That hundreds Of people know the
grandeur of an Indian Summer day at
Lake Tahoe is evidenced from the fact
that everywhere automobile parties
were seen along the highways; not in
the mad rush as marks the vacationist
of summer, but driving slowly as
though to miss nothing in the inspir-
ing panorama passing before them,
while others loitered in advantageous
spots above Emerald Bay, the show
place of all America.
Lake Tahoe on gorgeous Indian
Summer day excels in beauty and is
vastly more appealing to the out
doors instinct of mankind than at any
other time of the year.

Mrs. II. A. N. Todd was hostess to
the members Of the Gardnerville Wom-
ems Literary club at their regular
meeting Monday evening, at the Ritch-
ford hotel.
Roll call was responded to with
world events. After the business
meeting, Mrs. Todd read most inter-
esting review on the political issues
of the day, using as her subject, the
three party platforms, and giving a
brief resume of the life of the candi-

gram.
The committees in charge of the
plays to be given for the benefit of
the grammar school grounds, have ev-

IN E VADA'S GOLDEN
ST A r S"
BY C. w. SHUMWAY

The Douglas county high school has
just acknowledged the receipt of
complimentary copy of beautifully
bound volume bearing the above title.
1t was prepared under the direction
of the adjutant-general of Nevada,
Maurice j. Sullivan of Carson City,
and is designed as a gift of the people
of Nevada to the relatives of those
Nevada heroes who died in the world
war. To each of the heroes thus for
ever distinguished is devoted a page,
sometimes more, giving a photograph,
where it was possible to secure one,
and brief biographical sketch of his
activities both before the war and of
his actual participation in the work
of the war itself. The labor involved
in getting together such volume is
very great, and the adjutant- general
deserves warm tribute of gratitude
from all whom his services in any
way represent. The pages are beauti-
fully printed in black and gold, and
in addition to the historical material
is wealth of poetic reference and
quotation. The volume is valuable
addition to the high school library,
and the school would be glad to have
it consulted by any interested persons.
1t is distinctly worth while in these
days when the great problems of re-
construction are not yet fully solved
for us to give reverent and grateful
attention to those brave men from
our own state whose lives were not
counted dear unto themselves when
the cause of freedom was in the bal
ance.

WOMAN'S CLUB
SPONSORS A
BENEFIT SHOW
Given for Purpose of Raising
Funds for School Play
Ground Equipment
CHILDREN WILL STAGE
MOTHER GOOSE PLAY
Entertainment Will Be Held
at High School on Satur-
day, November 1st

The Gardnerville Woman's Literary
club is sponsoring an entertainment to
be staged November 1st at the high
school auditorium, the proceeds of
which will be used to buy playground
equipment for the Gardnerville gram
mar school.
The entertainment will consist of a
Mother Goose play put on by eighteen
children; also a playlet of twelve
smaller tots, besides special musical
numbers and folk dances.
The ladies of the club are working
hard to make the affair a success and
if the same hearty cooperation is Civ.
en- them that other school activities
have brought forth there is every rea-
son to believe it will be more than
successful.
There are about one hundred chill
dren in this district and the equipment
on hand is insufficient to take care of
that number. The trustees have spent
every cent they can allow for this
work, but cannot supply proper equip
ment with limited means.
The parents of the children in this
district should back the ladies of this
club to the utmost in undertaking a
proposition for school benefit.
The program will be most enter
tanning and dainty costumes will add
to the attractiveness of the plays, fur
ther announcements of which will be
made later.
Remember the date is Saturday, No
vember 1st, and the place is the au-
ditorium of the Douglas high school

KHAN LECTURE
IS GIVEN HERE
Speaker Makes Attempt to
Connect Ancient Fraternity
With K Ian Organization

A Ku Klux Klan lecturer was in
Gardnerville Monday night and ad-
dressed a fair sized audience at the
Rex theatre on the beliefs and prin-
ciples of that organization. On the
stage was flaming cross lighted by
electricity, the emblem of the Klan.
The lecturer spoke for an hour and a
half and touched upon many sidelights
during the course of his remarks,
some of which would not have been
deemed proper had mixed audience
been in attendance.
Many who attended were of the be-
lief that the speaker would touch up
on national politics but aside from
saying that the present political par
ties were both rotten, refrained from
advocating the election of either of
the three candidates for president.
In the course of his address John
Polly said that eighty per cent Of the
Masons of the United States were
members of the Ku Klux Klan. AS a
matter of fact grand masters of sew
eral states have issued ultimatums
forbidding Masons from joining that
order under penalty of expulsion.
Grand Master Arthur S. Critics of
the state of California in his message
delivered at Bakersfield Wednesday
had the following to say:
"There is indisputable evidence that
certain Klan members are attempting
to mix the affairs of Masonry with
those of the Klan," the grand masters
message said, thereby causing dis
cord and confusion in the Craft and
also creating in the minds of some
members and the public as well a
wrong impression as to the actual
standing of Masonry in this regard.
"The interest of Masonry lies in
every member avoiding every possible
occurrence that might give color to
the claim of relationship between the
Masonic fraternity and this other or
ganization."
The membership of the Ku Klux
Klan is made up of protestants, mas
much as it is anti-Catholic and anti.
Jewish. That Masons have member.
ship in that organization is not deni.
able, but it is in no way part of Ma
sonry, and according to those best in
formed, the number of Masons thai
are Ku Klux Klansmen is negligible
Since the meeting Monday night, il
has been currently reported that 6
flaming cross was burned in the Val
ley one night last week., but authentic
reports on the report are lacking.

STAGE ALL SET FOR BIG
FAIR AT DOUGLAS HIGH
Rain Does not Dampen Spirits
If Students and Fair Will
Be Biggest Ever Held Here

The stage is all set for the fair and
.;rcus TO open at the Douglas county
h;oh school grounds at noon today
For the past two weeks students oil
,he school have been securing the
county for agricultural products and
,be finishing touches of arranging the
displays are being made this morning
while the boys have been actively en-
gaeed in securing farm exhibits, the
erl students have been assembling
displays of fancy work, bottled fruits
and cookery and they have met with
enthusiastic support.
Yesterday the students, under the
nersonal supervision of Mr.. Shave
the agricultural instructor, were busy
erecting two big tents that will house
the auto show and farm machinery
exhibits. Everything was hustle and
hustle at the high school yesterday
and arrangement of exhibits were
carried on until late in the night in
order to have everything in readiness
when the fair opens today.
Carson Valley is not known as eli
matically suited to the culture of wal
nuts. vet there will be a display of as
fine English walnuts as you ever saw,
which were raised on the A. Settel-
meyer farm. Few have attempted to
raise ounces in this section yet there
will be a display of this fruit at the
fair that was raised in Carson Valley.
Grapes can be successfully raised in
Carson Valley but it is believed that
the season is little late for a display
at the fair although one farmer has
been carefully guarding portion of
the crop with the hope of displaying
il at the fair. And SO ON down the
line one could list many fruits that
thrive in Carson Valley. The fair will
be not only interesting but education
al for many residing in this commu-
nifty that do not fully realize the va
ried crops that can be raised here.
From Reno comes the report that
the chamber Of commerce of that city,
in conjunction with the highway asso-
citation has taken a hand in boosting
the fair and expect to send over one
hundred automobiles loaded with Re
NOTES to the fair today. Other out
side sections will be well represented,
according to reports and it is certain
that the attendance will exceed that
Of any previous fairs held here.
One of the features of the fair will
be fashion display, high school girls
to act as models, the dresses and coats
to be furnished by the Minden Dry
Goods company and the Hat and Gown
Shoppe of Gardneryille.
Tomorrow field meet will be held
in which the students of all the dis
trict schools of the county have been
asked to participate. A football game
will also be played between the Tigers
and the Indian School team. Vaude-
vile, dancing and various forms of
entertainment have been arranged for
by the students and from the time the
fair opens today at one o'clock until
Saturday night there will be some
thing doing every moment.
The people of this community are
deeply interested in the fair and will
turn out enmasse to see what the
high school pupils have accomplished
and lend encouragement to the enter
prise

in spite of the serious handicaps which

up for cooperative marketing. Among
those who have already signed, are
