ping Board yesterday against the
application to petroleum products OF
the preferential through export rate
clause of the merchant marine act,
on the ground that there is an
inadequacy of government tanker

Commissioners Thompson and
Plummer. before whom the protests
were heard. said the briefs presented
would be given due consideration.
The protests of the Refiners' asso-
citation, composed of siNty-five COM
panies in Kansas. Oklahoma and
northern Texas, declared the "asso-
policy underlying section Is is not
an issue before the board" as Con-
gress was responsible for the legls-

the responsibility of determining
whether adequate shipping facilities
are afforded by American vessels.

at San Francisco and Now
Touring in California

Miss Adelaine Hahn of Woodfords
became the bride of Edwin Miller at
San Francisco last Saturday, accord
ing to word received in Gardnerville
this week.
The bride has resided at Woodfords
for the past two years where she

who made her acquaintance.
The groom is a prominent young

youngest son of Mrs. A. Miller, a
pioneer resident here. During the
World War Mr.. Miller served over
seas and saw much of the battle
front. For a time he served as a
motor cycle messenger and his du-
ties carried him into dangerous ter

he is engaged in the dairy business
at Minden.
The young couple are now enjoy

DECISION GIVEN
in JEPSEN CASE
Supreme Court Holds Elec-
ton of County Cerk This
Year Would Be Invalid

Yesterday the supreme court of Ne
vada handed down a decision that a
valid election of the office of county
clerk could not be held this year and
thereby denied the writ of mandamus
in the test case, brought to decide
the intent of the law.
This news was received late yes
terday by II. r. Jepsen, clerk of
Douglas county. AS result of this
decision he will not need run for Of
flee at the coming election, as was
contended in some quarters.
After the death of II. C. Jepsen,
in 1922, the duly elected county clerk,
the board of commissioners appoint
ed his son, II. R. Jepsen, to fill the
unexpired term. The decision of the
supreme court handed down yester-
day designates that Mr.. Jepsen's ap-
pointment holds good until the cleo
ton of 1926.

BIG HAY YIELD
WITHOUT WATER
Five Acres of Land In Pine
Nut Owned by Hussman
Yields Big Crop

Thirteen big loads of alfalfa hay
have been harvested from five acres
of ground owned by George Huss-
man and not one drop of water was
available for irrigating the crop. The
small tract of land is situated in the
Pine Nut range of mountains and is
part of a range owned by Mr. Huss-
man.
Three or four years ago Mr.. Huss-
man cleared a small tract of land
and built a small reservoir above the
tract. The tract was seeded to al
falfa and was given two wettings
during the season. This season nc
water was available to irrigate the
land, but despite this fact the crop
matured and was heavier than any
first cutting in Carson Valley. In
that region there is considerable
moisture below the surface of the
ground and the alfalfa roots have
reached the wet soil, according to
the belief Of Mr.. Hussman.

NEW ELECTRIC PLANT
NOW IN OPERATION

The hydro-electric plant installed
on Star Lake creek in Lake Valley
by resort owners and those having
summer homes at the south end OF
Lake Tahoe, is proving to be one OF
the best investments made by the
lake dwellers in many years. The
plant is furnishing ample electric
energy for lights and power and the
stream that is harnessed, gives no
evidence of diminishing flow.
During recent weeks many gaso-
line pumps that have been used to
furnish water for domestic purposes,
have been replaced by electric pumps
of modern design and are now giving
uninterrupted service.
For a number of years small gen.
Grating plants were depended upon
for electric lights at Bijou, AL Tahoe
and other resorts in that vicinity
but they required continual care and
attention and the cost of operation
was an item of considerable import.
ance. The hydro-electric plant has
cut the cost of operation to the mini
mum, and through an abundance OF
power, allows pumping of water ano
other needful electrical appliances to
be used, that heretofore were impos'
sible,

Ernest Clock Graduates From
Lutheran Theological College

able Director Brohm of Concordia
College. Upon Director Brohm's ad-
vice Mr.. Clock took up a Normal
course for a short time with the in
tention of teaching in our Christian
day schools. He pursued these stu
dies until the year 1919, when his
thoughts again turned seriously to
the ministry. But being low in funds
he discontinued studies for year in
order to accumulate some money.
However, the fall of 1920 found him
enrolled at our practical Seminary IN
Springfield, H., again taking up the
study of theology. After two years
he was sent out to do supply work
at Loebow, Texas, where he gained
much valuable experience teaching
school and preaching twice a month
for year. In the fall of 1923 he
returned TO Concordia Seminary and
successfully finished his studies,
graduating from that institution in
June of this year. Upon his gradu-
alton he received call from the con
gregation at Clifford, Idaho, which
call he accepted, and where he ex-
poets to be ordained and installed on
the first Sunday in September.
As he was walking down the
street in Philadelphia with two
.loaves of bread under his arm and
eating third, Benjamin Franklin
met girl, we believe the first girl
he met in that city. He later mar
ried her. So the first Lutheran pas
tor to go forth from the Lutheran
ranks of Nevada did on the 10th day
of July take unto himself helpmate
in the person of Miss Meta Metulle
of Bloomington, H., the first girl
he met east of the Rockies. Can
didate and Mrs. Clock will leave for
the West July 25th, spending some
time in California and Carson Valley
before entering upon their field of
labor at Clifford, Idaho.
To the embryo pastor we extend
heartiest congratulations upon the
successful termination of his studies.
That indomitable will, which enabled
him to overcome almost insurmount-
able difficulties, and that earnest
sincerity, which made him willing to
work his way through his entire col
lege career, bespeaks for him much
success in his chosen calling.-Rev.
Felten in Nevada Lutheran.

MERRILL HOTEL
IS REOPENED
Reynolds Bros, Experienced
Men, Lease Famous Old
Hotel

The Merrill hotel at Woodfords has
been opened by Reynolds Bros, and
during the rest of the season will be
prepared to care for guests and auto
tourists. AS a matter of accommo-
dation to the travelling public, the
resort will serve meals at all hours.
Reynolds Bros. are experienced in
the management of summer resorts,
and for some time were engaged in
this business at Pacific Groove and
other California resort towns. The
Merrill hotel has been completely
renovated by the new managers and
now caters to the wants of travellers.
For many years the Merrill hotel
was one of the favorite resorts of
this section and was literally patron
lied by Nevada and California peo-
pie. Because of the stress of other
business, the resort was closed two
years ago by Mrs. M. Merrill, the
owner.
Those who have stopped at the
Merrill resort, since taken over by
Reynolds Bros. speak in the highest
terms of the meals being served, and
Carson Valley people are urged to
stop here for dinner when making
the trip over the Alpine highway on
their homeward trip from Lake Ia
hoe, or at any other time that they
visit the Woodfords section

new SYSTEM OF
PLACER MINING
Tube Mill Principle Adapted
to Placer Mining Proves a
Great Success

II. II. Boone has adopted an old
principle of mining in new way
and has proven to his own satisfac-
tion that there is vast tracts of
placer ground in the Pine Nut dis
trict that can be successfully worked
With the aid of small revolving
cement mixer in which quick silver
and pebbles were placed the princi-
ples of a tube mill were followed
quite closely in a test made this
week. A ton of gravel was run
through the improvised tube mill and
values exceeding five dollars a ton
were saved through this process.
One man could handle about five
tons of gravel in eight hours, and
while the profits would be nothing
great under such an arrangement it
would net good wage to say the
least.
However, if the size of the mill
was increased to handle say twenty
five tons of gravel per day, such a
plant would prove to be a valuable
mining investment.
Mr.. Boone contemplates, at later
date, to carry on additional expert
ments with the tubler mill process
to further demonstrate the feasabili-
ty of his novel and new method of
working placer ground. Several as
SAYS show his gravel to carry values
of about $500 per ton and while the
holdings have not been thoroughly
prospected, it is believed that many
thousands of tons are available that
will maintain this average.

President Coolidge Supports
Rural School Betterment

President Coolidge addressed the
Convention of the National Educa-
ton association which was held in
Washington, d. c., July 4th, and
gave many interesting facts concern
ing education. He gave his views
on compulsory education, and stated
that Ignorance" was one of the
greatest menaces the nation has to
deal with today. In his address, he
pointed out that there are 14,000,000
foreign born illiterate white persons,
and 100000 native illiterates in the
United States today. He urged great
er attention to the rural district
schools of the nation. Recalling his
attendance at an "old one-room coun-
try school," he argued that these in
stitutions must give way to. the con-
solidated school with a modern
building and an adequate teaching
force commensurate with the best
advantages that are provided for our
urban population.
st is necessary" he added, "that
education should be the hand-maid Of
citizenship. Our institutions are con-
stantly and very properly the sub
ject of critical inquiry. Unless their
nature is comprehended, unless their
origin is understood, unless their
value be properly assessed, the citi-
zen falls ready prey to those selfish
agitators who would exploit his pre-
JUDGES to promote their own advan-
tage. On this day of all days, it
ought to be made clear that Ameri-
ca has had it's revolution and placed
the power of government squarely,
securely and entirely in the hands Of
the people. For all changes which
they may desire, for all grievances
which they may suffer, the ballot box
furnishes complete method and
remedy. Into their hands had beer
committed complete jurisdiction and
control over all the functions of gov.
ernment. For the most part our in.
stitutions are attacked in the name
of social and economic reform. Un-
less there be some teaching of sound

only to social discomfort and public
disaster.
