Mr.. Scossa where his car was and
they were informed 1t was standing
on the street. "Fine." sad the Of
ficer, well just take a ride with you
over to the ranch" Scossa did not
object, probably believing that every

come to the dry sluthes. At the
ranch they dry officers proceeded to
the corral, and gave evidence OF
having a splendid nose for moon
shine. They began probing around
a feed rack and finally hit board.

known that a still has been In opera
tion at the Scossa ranch since
August, 1923. Twice since that time
he has been given additional informa-
ton in addition to that already
furnished. During past months the
fact that still was In operation at
the Scossa ranch. was current rumor
in practically every household in Car

was beyond comprehension.
Mr.. Scossa Is one of the most
prominent farmers and stockmen In
this Valley and save for this one
instance has been a law abiding
citizen.

ADMITTED TO
CITIZENSHIP
One Applicant Voted
Many Times Believ-
ing He Was Citizen

Robert Wright, naturalization ex-
aminer, with headquarters at San
Francisco, visited Minden last Sat
urday and examined two applicants
for citizenship.
Mrs. Hazel Fowler Worthington
was restored to citizenship, having
lost that right some years ago by
marriage to an allen.
George Swanton. local attorney was
admitted to citizenship, having passed
splendid examination.
Shortly after his arrival in this
country from ireland many years
ago, Mr.. Swanton. made application
for citizenship in the city of New
York and was admitted. For many
years he exercised his right as an
American citizen and voted. A year
or more ago, contemplating trip to
Ireland II was necessary that he Sc
cure his naturalization papers In
order to obtain passport, his
original papers having been lost.
A search of court records In the
City of New York failed to show
that Mr. Swanton had ever been
legally admitted to citizenship and
1t was then that he realized that he
had been imposed upon by group
of ward politicians in the days
when fraud was at its height in
that city in the matter of adding
names to the list of voters. Learn
ing that he was never legally ad-
mitted to citizenship. Mr.. Swanton
Immediately filed his application In
the courts of this county, and Is

LAKE TAHOE IS

The reclamation office at Fallon re-
ceived a report Friday from their
representative at Lake Tahoe, show
ing there was 40 inches of snow at
Summit that morning and Is inches
at Tahoe. The present elevation of
Lake Tahoe Is 6225.99 as compared to
6225.23 a year ago. The lake Is
practically 10000 acre feet short at
what there was last year. All gates
are now wide open at Lake Tahoe
and only 400 second feet Is beeing

should be 500 second feet The am

Tahoe through the gates Is 260 Sec

far as a water supply from Tahoe is
concerned, says the Fallon Eagle.
Friday the U. S. r. 8. office re-
ported 100000 acre feet In Lahontan
reservoir, the water being seven
feet below the spillways. A little
water is being stored from the sur

PARTGORIC NOW UNDER
NEVADA BAN AS NARCOTIC

An order forbidding the promiscu-
GUS sale of paregoric by Nevada
druggists has been issued by ]. M
Tuite, federal narcotic inspector.
Druggists are notified they must
refuse sale of paregoric to parties
they believe addictd to the use OF
drugs, and that violation Of the order
will result in cancellation Of their
permit.
Four ounces of paregoric are said
by Tuite to contain two grains OF
opium, and the use of the drug has
been rapidly increasing among ad-
diets unable to secure narcotics from

CHEESE FACTORY
in OPERATION
New Industry Fostered
by Dairymen Starts
With Bright Future

The plant of the Douglas Cheese
Association started operations Tues
day morning, under the supervision
of c. II. Heckler, the manager, and
an expert cheese maker.
Thus far the new industry is only
receiving milk from stockholders of
the new concern, but Just as soon as
things are running smoothly the
factory will reach out for more milk
and gradually work the plant up to
its maximum capacity.
1t requires about three weeks for
cheese to cure properly and until
that time products of the new con-
eern will not be placed on the mark
ct. Already inquiries for cheese are
coming from many sections of the
state and there Ia no question but
the new industry will find ready
market for its products
Mr.. Heckler has had many years
experience in the cheese manufactur-
ing business. His services were Sc
cured by the association, stock
holders realizing that success would
not result unless a first-class article
was manufactured. Samples of the
cheese to be manufactured, made at
the plant a number of weeks ago,
have been pronounced to be of the
very best.
The new industry is launched by
the stockholders, made up of Carson
Valley dairymen, with the firm be-
lief that that there is a field for the
institution in this farming district
and that the products will find ready
market within the borders of this
state

NEVADA HAS
ADVANTAGES

Nevada must be seen by automo-
bile to be appreciated" said James X.
Wallace, cattle grading demenstrator
connected with the United States de-
parment of agriculture. who has just
completed trip throughout the state.
says the Gazette.
This is wonderful safe and par
t,cularly adapted to live stock in
dustry with its fine ranges and many
rich valleys but the need here is to
raise a grade of beef steers that will
bring better prices for less expense.
The Coast market will take the pro-
duce." he added.
Citing as an illustration condi-
tion he found In stock farm In
Southern Nevada, Mr.. Wallace said:
"On this ranch the owner had two
herds of steers, one of the common
range type, which were four years
old and another of a better type Of
Herefords which he had bred up by
getting good range bulls. The lat
ter were two year. alds. These two
herds had the same feed the only
difference being that the common
type had been fed four vars and the
others but two. When 1t came time
for marketing the older common
steers brought four cents per pound
and averaged the owner $3.50 each
whereas the two year olds weighed
on an average of 1000 pounds each
and sold for eight and one-fourth
per head.
ut is the second type cattle on
which the stockmen of Nevada can
make good money and the kind it will
pay them to breed"

BUSTER KEATON
AT REX SUNDAY

Making pictures is hard life.
Details of technique can be worked
out but unexpected turns make pro-
ducers permanently bald from tear
ing their hair.
A detailed enumeration of all the
seventies faced by Buster Keaton,
the Metro star. and his forces In
making his latest Joseph M. Schenck
comedy, Our Hospitality" to be
shown at the Rex theatre on Sunday
night would call to mind the ordeal OF
Washington and his men at Valley
Forge.
Buster had a railroad train con-
structed, facsimile of the first en-
gine ever built, "The Rocket" The
/ trip on the screen runs off smoothly
enough. Film fans, however, will
see nothing of the times Buster had
to alight from his coach and help his
staff put the engine back on the
track
Another peril was the shooting OF
/ the falls. Buster actually went over
fifty-foot fall tied to a log. Had
the log failed to jam and hold him
swinging just below the brink, he
would have been finishing off either
by crashing on the rocks fifty feet
below the falls, or the heavy log
would have fallen on him and IA
tally crushed him

MONDAY Darkness
and Other Witnesses"
Luthern Leneten Topic

1t is midday on Calvary. The sun
stands in its zenith. The city of
Jerusalem, the hill of Calvary, are
bathed in the bright radiance of an
unclouded Oriental sky-when sud-
denly. without the least intimation
a veil of thick darkness, gloomy
night like a funeral pail, begins to
spread not only over the land of
Judea but over all the earth. Where
did it come from? Ii was not an
eclipse, for that was impossible at
the time of the full moon. In no
almanac of Egyptian or Chaldean
astronomy was this failing of sun
shine counted on. Science could
not account for It, Just like Star
of Bethlehem that led the wise men
to the manger bed of the newborn
King, and like the mighty wind OF
Pentecost, this darkness was phe-
nomenon of nature that cannot be
explained by ordinary laws and
causes II was an extraordinary,
mysterious, unprecedented occur
ence How is 1t to be explained?
MONDAY Darkness and Other
Witnesses" will be the subject of
the first Lenten sermon by Pastor
Felten at Trinity Lutheran Church
Sunday. The morning services will
commence at 10:30 o'clock and will
be in English. At p. m. there will
also be German service. The
choir will sing, ITO God be the
Glory" in the English service. The
members of the Lutheran church are
showing great interest In these
solemn Passion services and gladly
welcome visitors and such who have
no church connections.
