COMSTOCK LODGE
CHANGES HANDS
Mrs. Church of Carson Will
Establish Camp For
Young Women

Arrangements for the purchase of
the Comstock Lodge at Zephyr Cove
by Mrs. Gertrude Church have been
made by the Rev. j. L. Harvey, pre-
sident Of the Nevada California Pres
byterian Synod, and preliminaries of
the transfer of the property have
been executed.
Plans are under way for holding
the Presbyterian Young Peoples
Conference for Nevada and Cali
fornia at the Lodge August 9th to
18th, both inclusive. The attendance
at this conference will be between
one hundred and one hundred and
fifty persons.
II is also possible that the Girl Re-
serves viii have a meeting or camp
at the Lodge during the summer.
The Lodge commands a fine view
of Zephyr Cove, in Douglas county,
one of the most beautiful spots on
the shores of Lake Tahoe, says the
Carson News. Acquisition of the
holdings of thirty-odd acres by Mrs.
Church insures its being put to good
use

came to New Your when fourteen
years old and became the bride of
Robert Schulz at the age of nineeen.
Soon after their marriage Mr.. and
Mrs. Schulz came to Nevada and set
tied along Clear Greek a few miles
from Carson. They had been mar
ried forty-eight years the 81 day of

RUNS LIKE
WATER DOWN STREET
Pipe on Shell Oil Truck Gives
Way and Driver Fights
to Save Gasoline

Gasoline ran as free as water in
Gardnerville Monday afternoon, when
pipe on a Shell Oil company truck
broke, after the driver had misjudg-
ed the distance to the sidewalk on a
side street.
Gasoline poured from the aperature
in the pipe, and the driver, with the
assistance of several willing helpers
formed bucket brigade, catching
as much of the gas in cans as they
could and poured it back into one of
the compartments of the tank that
did not leak. Despite the heroic
work of the gas savers, the fluid
run down the street for nearly
block and outside of the upper Car
son river, was the "wettest" place
in Douglas county.
The gas did not seep into the
ground with any alarming rapidity,
but stood in pools like water after
heavy rain. Shovels were secured
and the gas scattered about and
finally covered with dirt to prevent
any possibility of fire being started
by some unknowing smoker careless
about throwing away lighted match
es.
With gasoline selling here for 25
cents per gallon the sight of gas
flowing down the street like water,
made many a motorist feel that he
had missed real opportunity to fill
his tank from the flowing stream.

FISHING AT LAKE
TAHOE IS GOOD
Large Number Of Carson
Valley People Participate
and Make Good Catches

Fishing season opened at Lake
Tahoe Sunday and quite a number
of Carson Valley people participated
in the event. Those having motor
boats indulged in top-lining, while
those using oars contented them
selves in trolling. In top-lining at
Lake Tahoe plugs and minows are
used for bait and in the neighbor-
hood of $50 feet of silk line is used.
B g trout only are caught in this
fashion, while deep trolling results
in a catch of smaller trout.
James Gallagher of Minden caught
eight trout top-lining, the largest of
which weighed about eight pounds.
Trollers have good luck in the vi
Unity of Hobart, thirty-two trout be-
ing the largest catch from any one
boat.
In the morning, slight breeze,
brought rifles on the lake, much de-
sired by fishermen. However, in the
afternoon the wind died down and the
lake was as smooth as glass and
fishing during this period was not
as good as in the morning.
During the past three years fish,
ing at Lake Tahoe has been any
thing but good, but from all reports,
a good season of fishing at Lake
Tahoe seems assured.

TO Be
FUMICATED AT
LAKE TAHOE
Henry Tieslau Finally Gives
in and Submits to Fumiga-
ton and Disinfection

Automobile traffic over the Ne
vada line at Lake Tahoe was held
up for two hours Tuesday, when
Henry Tiesleau of Tiesleau Bros,
highway contractors refused to SUBJ
nit to fumigation and dininfection on
his return from a visit to Berkeley
and other California points.
The fumigation officers telephoned
to Sheriff Park of this county but
owing to fact that the official was
attending to matters at Carson City,
his temporary deputy, George Russell
and Constable C. Jespersen went to
Lake Tahoe to enforce the strong
arm of the law. However, they had
no difficulty in convincing Mr.. Ties
leau that it was absolutely necessary
for him and party to submit to the
mandates of the quarantine procla-
nation issued by Governor Scrug-
ham. Under protest Mr.. Tiesleau
entered the fumigation tent, removed
his clothing, wrapped himself in
blanket and was separated from the
outside world for exactly one hour
while his clothing was being fumi-
gated.
1t is reported that many of the
automobile parties crossing the
mountains into Nevada from Califor-
mia submit to the ordeal of fumiga-
tion with good grace while few
storm and fume at what they term
useless humiliation and injustice.
Provisions such as ham, bacon,
butter and the like that usually are
found in camp supplies, are taken
from auto tourists entering Nevada.
This is quite naturally resented, and
as a form of retaliation, the Cali
fornia weevil inspectors at the sta
ton short distance removed from
the fumigation plant, are relieving
Nevada tourists of camp supplies,
if they come from districts
in this state under quarantine for
weevil.
Tuesday an aged, but active lady,
was with party of motorists that
run the gauntlet of both stations,
and she declared that both the Cali
fornia and Nevada officials put her
in mind of two very jealous children.
and her conclusions seem to fit the
case quite perfectly.

MASONS To MEET
AT LAKE TAHOE
Big Open Air Meeting to be
Held at Zephyr Cove
June 22nd

According to a statement made
by A. Y. Werner, master of Carson
Valley lodge F. & A. M. Masons of
Western Nevada, will gather at
Lake Tahoe Sunday, June % and pay
honor to st. John, the Evangelist, a
patron saint of Masonry. Masons
everywhere always observe st. Johns
Day in December, but since both st.
John the Baptist and st. John the
Evangelist, occupy place in this
great and honored fraternity, Nevada
Mason have decided for the gather
ing at Lake Tahoe on June %, the
idea of which was first suggested by
Ed. Petersen of Carson, Past Grand
Master Of the Nevada jurisdiction.
Judge Ducker, of the Nevada Su-
preme court, Rev. Harvey of the Car
son Presbyterian church and possib-
iy Rev. Brewster Adams will be the
speakers of the day. The great out
door meeting will be held at Zephyr
Cove, delightful place for such a
gathering, and according to advices
Masons, together with the families
and friends from Virginia City, Sill
yer City, Carson, Reno and Carson
Valley will be in attendance. From
all reports it will be one of the most
unique gatherings of Masons ever
held in Nevada and will be attended
by Masons from everywhere.
