$4,000 ACRE FEET SHORT

At a meeting of the water board
held Monday a review of the water
condition was gone over. 1t Is found
that the Lahontan reservoir at the
present time is $4,000 acre feet
short of the usual supply at the close
of the irrigation season.
The condition is such that the
water board is insitsant that all pos
sihle water be conserved for another
season and has so advised the power
people and others who would draw
further from the slack supply at the
reservoir.

none of the candidates gets a major
ity vote in the electoral college ant
it goes into congress. In another
community they say that the fight IL
between Coolidge and LaFollette.
In another place they say that
Davis is a free-trader.
Among the farmers and In labor
ing communities they have 1t whis
pered abroad that Davis was nom
mated by Wall street.
They go even further, they say
that Davis is relative of Gassoway
Davis of West Virginia and that he
is a big coal operator.
What are the facts? They well
know that, while sslator LaFolletts
has a great many enthusiastic sup,
porters, he has no chance of beins

trying to stimulate Democrats who
are opposed to LaFollette to vote foi
Coolidge. These same Republican.
who make this claim admit thai
Davis will carry the solid south and
the border states with a total of 18e
votes. AT the same time they claim
that Coolidge will carry 266 votes
Therefore they admit that Coolidge
and Davis together will carry 45s
votes. There are only 531 electoral
votes in all the states. If you sub
tract what these Republicans admit
that Davis and Coolidge will have
then it only leaves 70 votes for La
Toilette. This is taking the Repub.
lican estimate for it. The Demo
cratic estimate just reverses the
Davis-Coolidge figures.
They know, from the long line oi
speeches made by Davis during hi.

a free-trader, and that he fayors Z

the reservoir for storage. These are
undisputable facts that will have TO
be considered. If storage is to be
held in both Lake Tahoe and Lahon-
tan dam 1t must start not next spring

no fall rains or snow to start water

Negligent Company
The Nevada Valleys Power Com
pany and the Canyon Power Com
pany are both negligent in a measure.
Following a ten-year lease on the
Lahontan plant which was given only
after a bitter contest on the part of
the water users, the companies have
made no concerted effort to supply
an auxiliary plant for such emergen-
cies as now face this city, Lovelock
and other users of power from the
reservoir.
Had the leasing concerns made an
effort such as has been assumed by
the citizens of Fallon and the city
council there would have been no
complaint. The long term lease war
rants the installation of auxiliary
power. but through the lack of such
movement all of the parties served
will have to suffer
Depends On Storage
This entire valley depends on stor-
age at Lahontan reservoir. 1t is not
a question of serving Loveloek and
other sections with power, but a
question of water for irrigation pur
poses. The condition of Lake Tahoe
and no runoff from the Carson river
is convincing poof of the good tudg-
ment of the water board In ordering
a complete shut down until there is
sufficient water stored for another
season.

may interest those who wish to
get a line on the reasonable
ness of astrology and some Of its
practitioners:
Mr.. Garrett p. Service--If you
know anything about scientific
matters at all, let me call your
attention to some late scientific
facts which should have, been
known to you.
Man today recognizes various
force manifestations, denominat-
ing them as light. heat, electricity.
yet in reality all force is one, and
the various forms we recognize
are but varying manifestations of
force vibrations. This is truth
upon which an infinite number Df
applications hinge upon the ma.
tCtA0A Bld1AG. HI ~ tAkC VI
astrology establishes itself upon a
firm foundation. Man today is
measuring the heat of the sun
and stars with his thermophile at
tached to his telescope. In reality
man is proving the existence Of
vibratory waves between the earth
and the stars-demonstrating the
great truth on which astrology
stands. For IL heat be q form
of vibration, and IL all force Is
but vibration manifesting at
various rates, and the man proves
the existence of this vibratory
interchange between the planets
in a measurable extent, then man
demonstrates that there is cease
less vibration between the planet
we inhabit and the stars of the
sun universe sufficient to affect
the earth and its contained life.
81 have told you enough to
show you the injustice Of your
so-called wisdom. Give publicity
to the above facts. If you are
broad enough. Yours,

For my part, / am glad that

he wrote his letter, because 1t re-
veals so plainly the Illogical
basis on which astrology rests.
The astrologer assumes that be-
cause Our sun and the other
to the earth, which we recognize
under various forms, such as
light, heat, electricity, etc, there
fore those bodies from their places
in the heavens Gncluding even the
planetsl govern the individual
characters and destinies OF men
on the earth, by virtue OF some
occult manifestation of force
vibrations, other than those
which science has recognized. \
Where is the proof Of the exist
ence of these occult vibrations?
The astroioger does not venture
to affirm that light, or heat, or
electricity, or ultraviolet rays, or
radio waves, or any Of the known
forms of radiant energy, rule the
moral and intellectual character
OF men and women or their
fate" or their luck and for
tunes, or the success or failure
Of their enterprises. What form,
then, does the mysterious "vibra-
ton" assume when, on the tran
sit" Of an "evil planet" over the
"mid-heaven of the horoscope" 1t
shakes down failure and misfor-
tune upon the unlucky person
who has ventured to start some
thing new at that moment.
The attempt to connect up
astrology with the scientific In
vestigation Of radiant energy re-
veals its own aDsurdity. Terms
are used which have no relation
to the subject to which it IL at
tempted to apply snem. But this
sort of thing unfortunately I'M
poses upon those who lack the
knowledge and the critical dis
cernment needed to properlN
weigh and judge 1t.
f, Nearly all the letters that re-
ceive from persons believing, or
tempted to believe, in astrology,
show plainly that the writers
have been confused by this
same process of reasoning from
unrelated scientific facts to
speculative and imaginary con
illusions.
One is some times amazed and
discouraged by the tendency 30
widely shown, to neglect real
science while at the same time
eagerly seizing upon pseudo sci
ence. Probably this is because
the latter never asks for any.
