MEMORIAL DAY
OBSERVED HERE
Members of American Legion
Hold Services and Decor
ate Graves of Soldiers

Memorial Day was fittingly OBJ
served in Gardnerville by members
of Carson Valley Post of the Amer
lean Legion. Ex-soldiers, in uniform
marched to the Garden cemetery,
where brief exercises were held, after
which flowers were strewn on the
graves of departed comrades of the
late war as well as departed Civil
war and Spanish war venterans rest
ing in that cemetery.
The people of this community in
general, laid aside their work and
gave over the day to decorating the
graves of the departed, dear unto
memory, even after death. In the
Garden cemetery at this place, in the
Genoa cemetery, where sleeps many
of the pioneer residents of Carson
Vally, at Mottsville and FredericlIs-
burg, crowds of people gathered in
memory of those that have journey
ed on. In more than one instance,
some charitable person paused by the
side of some forgotten and unmark-
ed grave, to drop flower, and
showed that spirit of kindness that
prevails on occasions of this kind

PENTECOST To
Be OBSERVED
Lutheran Pastor to Deliver
Two Special Sermons
Sunday

II is a strange but most sublime
vision that we find recorded in the
37th chapter of the prophet Ezekiel.
He is led in spirit into valley that
is overstrews with skulls and limbs
dried and mouldering bones, the
relics of the dead. Upon Gods COM
mand he lifted up his voice and
cried: 30. ye dry bones, hear ye the
word of the Lord. | shall cause
breath to enter you and ye shah
live" And behold, as ye yet pro-
phesied, there was a noise and a
shaking, the breath Of the Almighty
come upon them. Bone allied itself
to bone, the naked members clothing
themselves with flesh and sinews and
the whole valley arises upon its feet,
a great, living army.
Pentecost, the day which marks
the establishment of the Christian
Church saw the fulfllment of that
vision. The Holy Ghost being pour
ed out upon the apostles, who,
ignorant and unlettered fishermen
that they were, being endowed with
power from on high, began the
preaching of the Gospel in strange
tongues, and Peter thru his power
full sermon of that day converted
5000 of his hearers.
The world at that time was a val
ley of dry bones. Idolatry was ram
pant, ignorance of God and the
things of God was universal. Even
the nation chosen by God as His peo-
pie was nothing but mere skeleton
of its former self, the faith of its
fathers practically dead. And in the
midst of this desolation and desert
came the commands: prophecy un-
to these dry bones and they shall
live" 1t came TO the apostles in the
upper chamber in Jerusalem. They
obeyed. And no sooner did they
arise and testify and proclaim the
Gospel, that is the power Of God to
salvation that word of life bore
fruit.
That was the actual beginning of
the Christian Church which soon
spread to the rest of Asia and
Europe and Africa, and has since
been extended "to the uttermost
parts of the earth" While the
apostles were converted before
Pentecost they then became Chris
tans Of power.
How may we become partakers
OF the Pentecostal blessing, Christ
ians of power?" will be the subject
OF Rev. Felten's festival discourse
Sunday Trinity Lutheran church.
The morning service will commence
at 1890 a. IN. and will be conducted
IN the German language. The even

TOLL OF STOCK
DISEASE GREAT
South America Has Paid the
Price in Epidemic of Foot
and Mouth Disease

The toll that is exacted by the
foot and mouth disease in South
America, which seems to vindicate
the stringent measures taken to
stamp out the scourge, is related in
the following from the Buenos Aires
STANDARD"
Foot and mouth disease was in
troduced to South America via Ar
gentina in shipment of French
short-horn bulls more than twenty
years ago. From the esatnciiia where
these cattle were taken, it spread
on all sides at the rate of 80 miles
day.
Since this lamentable importation,
Argentine and Uruguay have never
been free from the disease, and to-
day it is considered by far the
greatest scourge of all bovine trou-
bles in the republics of the River
Platt. Few owners of cattle in these
countries escape without at least
one visitation per annum and of
late years it is not an uncommon
occurance for the same cattle to be
infected with the disease recover,
and adam have second and even
third attack during the same year,
indeed often in the same six months
The calves of most cows which are
attacked by foot and mouth disease
when nearing calving time; of cows
and heifers in milk, about 25 per
cent attacked remain with blind
quarters, and some with quite useless
udders. The losses Though shrink.
age of fat cattle are deplorable and
must amount to many hundreds of
thousands Of pounds worth yearly.
But worst of all, in recent years
there has alreared a Lew aftermath
OF this horrible disea,,, viz, 1t is
noticed that after re,cate1 a..arks
of foot and mouth disease, about 10
per cent of the herd, after recovery
do not regain their usual health
They wear their winter coats right
through summer, and in TIE first
close hot day, many of these cattle
die of kind of heat appoplexy, al
ways near the water troughs. If
deep water is available such affect
ed cattle will go right into it and
remain in it up to their noses until
sunset, when they will again seek
the banks of the river, and thus by
submersion save themselves from
death during the hot spell.
This article should be the answer
to those people who have criticised
the methods that are in use to
stamp out the disease in the United
States.

ARSENIC FIND AT
EVERETT Mine
Claimed to be the Most I'm
portant Discovery of this
Ore in Nevada

The most important discovery of
arsenic ore yet recorded in Nevada
has been made by Frank Everett at
, point two miles south of the Noun
tain House, the southeastern corner
of Douglas county, 1S miles south of
Gardnerville, according to the Ne
ada Mining Press of Reno. The
deposit has been striped for length
Of 100 feet and shows widths of 10
to 20 feet of sulphide ore assaying
25 per cent arsenic. J. F. Thorn,
acting as field engineer for the West
ern Ore Purchasing Company, visited
the property and Everett contracted
with the company for the output.
About 120 tons of ore has been
broken and trucks are hauling the
product to Minden. The ore will be
sampled at the Hazen sampler of the
Western Ore Purchasing Company
and shipped to the Msytinez, Calf.

CAMP
HAS OPENED
Twenty-Five Boys Arrive at
Camp Tuesday From
Coast Cities

Skyland Camp for boys, under con-
struction on the eastern shores of
Lake Tahoe and in this county, was
formally opened Tuesday, when Is
young men arrived from California
cities and were comfortably cared
for at the new camp. Other boys
will arrive at the camp for their
summer vacation as fast as quarters
are completed for their use, accord
inig to Mr.. Stockwell, in charge of
the new camp.
During the past several weeks a
big crew of carpenters, under the
supervision of Jensen & Dressler, of
this place, have been rushing build
ing operations at Skyland and all
of the building are 80 per cent COM
pleted. The main building was fin-
ished early in the week and the score
of smaller buildings that go to make
up the sleeping quarters are nearly
ready for occupancy.
On bluff of rock above the camp
has been placed a redwood tank of
5000 gallons capacity, and water for
use at Skyland, is pumped into the
tank from Lake Tahoe.
The smaller buildings have been
placed among the trees and granite
boulders, and it is understood that
no effort will be made to disturb the
natural settings but will be left in
its wild state, feature that appeals
to the lads that know nothing but
city life.
Boating, swimming, and athletic
sports, as well as horseback riding
and mountain hiking will go to make
up the daily routine of the boys and
will be under the leadership of COL
lege men employed for that purpose.

MRS. E. WILSLEF
PASSES AWAY
Had Been a Resident of this
Valley Since 1880 and
Was Pioneer

Mrs. Emma Wilslef, widow of the
late Peter Wilslef,, died at her home
in Genoa last Saturday, following an
illness extending over period of
nearly two years.
Mrs. Wilslef was born in Schles-
wig, Germany, May 9, 1843 and was
81 years and % days of age at the
time of her death. With her hus-
band and children she came to this
country in 1880, settling first on the
old Peter Lincoln ranch near Card
nerville, and now owned by Mrs.
Anna Helwinkel. In 1882 the family
moved to the Wilslef ranch now own
ed by son, Thomas Wilslef. After
retiring from active farm life, the
aged couple moved to Genoa.
She is survived by one daughter,
Mrs. L. M. Christen of Sparks, and
two sons, Thomas and Mel Wilslef
of this Valley, as well as by fifteen
grandchildren and one great-grand-
child.
The funeral services were held
from the Union church at Genoa
Monday afternoon, Rev. P. II. Felten,
of the Trinity Lutheran church Of
ficiating. Interment took place in
the Genoa cemetery.
Mrs. Wilslef was a pioneer lady
of this Valley, doing her share in
the development work that has
brought this section into prominence
as one of the most progressive farm
ing communities in the West. 1t
was the pioneer women like Mrs.
Wilslef that worked hand in hand
with the early settlers that carved
farms from a wilderness, taking the
bitter with the sweet, but with a
fortitude that was linked with de-
termination. Mrs. Wilslef was a
most esteemed and beloved lady, a
kind and considerate mother and was
honored by all who knew her.

MINDEN THEATRE
TO Be OPENED
Marion Davies in Little Old
New York, Opening Bill
Tomorrow Night

A photoplay that has never been
surpassed for heartfelt tenderness,
romance and sprightly comedy is
Marion Davies new Cosmopolitan
picture, Little Old New York" which
has been booked by Manager Crowl-
ey, for the opening picture of the
C. V. |. C. theatre at Minden Satur-
day night, June 7th.
Little Old New York" is a photo
play which holds a special appeal for
every American, no matter where he
lives. One of the big incidents in
this picture is the first trip of Robert
Fulton's steamboat, the "Claramont"
up the Hudson river amid the boots
and howls of derision of the thous-
ands of people lined up along the
river. The first steamboat itself, is
shown with historic accuracy and its
trip up the Hudson was detailed
much as it actually happened.
In addition to its refreshing sweet
ness, Little Old New York" is re-
plete with highly dramatic moments
and with highly dramatic moments
and will give to the people of today
startling realistic idea of how their
forefathers lived more than a GEN.
tury ago. The film is embellished
with a wealth of pictorial beauty,
and the artistic finesse of Joseph Ur-
ban is shown on every hand. In the
story told by Little Old New York"
appear such famous historical chara-
cters as John Jacob Astor, Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Henry Brevoort, Wash
ington Irving, Robert Fulton, invent
or of the steamboat, Delmonica, and
many others. The appear on the
screen as realistically as if they had
stepped out from the printed pages
of history.
Woven around such historical per-
sonalities and happenings is the
story of little Irish girl who, dis
guised as boy, comes to America
to lay claim to fortune bequeathed
to her brother Pat, who died on the
trip over to New York. Disguised
as her dead brother, Patrica arrives
in New York and falls in love with
biiC oNSP-SOH VI uCt uiitiS, WIZ WOdid
have inherited the fortune if Pat
O'Day had not arrived within the
specified time to claim the inheri-
tance. Miss Davies, masquerading
as the boy Pat, is faced with the
difficulty of assuming a boyish
swagger, yet at the same time ex-
periencing all the feelings of
young girl falling in love.
The big spectacular climax comes
when the daring Pat is rescued from
mob of 1000 men who wanted to
whip her, for having stopped prize
fight by ringing fire bell to keep
the man she lives from losing the
money he had wagered on the result.
This money was needed to finance
Fobert Fulton's new invention of
the steamboat.
Sunday night orphans of the
Storm, another big picture, will be
featured at the Minden theatre.

Expect Plea Soon for Cut in Sugar Du
