The Nevada Lutheran takes great
pleasure in introducing tor its read
ers the first Lutheran pastor to be
born and reared in Nevada, who has
Just completed his preparation for
the ministry and will enter upon his
chosen work in the Lords vineyard
soon, Mr.. Ernest Clock.
The subject of our sketch was
born in a log cabin in the Pine Nut
mountains adjacent to Carson Val
ley. He received his early education
IN the grammar schools of Douglas
county, attending various schools at
different times. At the age of IL
years he was taken into the family
of Mr. and Mrs. Alhpons Clock. Be
fore that his religious education had
been nil, but any one who knows
Mrs. Alhpons Clock also knows that
hereafter Ernest would not be per-
mitted to grow up without the
knowledge of his Saviour. In a

confirmed in the spring of 1910,
After this his desire was to enter
upon what he justly considered the
highest calling, the ministry of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ. But there
were no finances for that So he

Within a week he was on his way
TO Oakland and enrolled there at our
Concordia. But since his early edu-

found the going rather hard. At

MAN TWICE ARRESTED
Is GIVEN HIS LIBERTY

Joe Lorenzo, who was arrested last
week, suspected with having robbed
Joe Gonzales of $500 while the latter
occupied a room at East Fork hotel,
and who was given his liberty only
to be rearrested at Reno and return

ing in the Justice Court at this place
Tuesday afternoon.
No evidence was introduced that
would connect Lorenzo with having
committed the crime, and he was Civ

was eontended by Gonzales that Lo-

money was stolen, but at the hear
ing held yesterday, no evidence to
support this contention was forth
coming.

FACULTY IS
NOW COMPLETE
New High School Principal
and Agricultural Instructor
Have Wide Experience

The board of education of Douglas
county high school announces the
completion of the teaching staff for
the coming year.
C. w. Shumway of Berkeley has
been elected principal. Mr.. Shum-
way has his A. B. and A. NJ. degrees
from the University of Southern Cal
ifornia and acquired his Doctorate in
Philosophy from Boston University
in 1919. He has had considerable ex-
fperience both in high school work,
and in university work. For three
years he was instructor in Boston
University, and for nearly the same
length of time he was in the depart
ment of education at the University
of Southern California. At present
Mr. Shumway is with the Fisk Teach
ers agency of Berkeley.
Hamilton B. Shave of Corvallis,
Oregon, has been elected as teacher
of agriculture. Mr.. Shave is a grad
uate of the Hyde Park high school,
! Chicago, and of the Oregon State
Agricultural college. During the
war he served as an officer and for
year and half was a teacher of
military tactics and of artillery prac-
tice. He was disabled in action at
the front but has since regained his
health and strength.
He expects to bring his family to
Gardnerville about August 1st. This
will give him time to survey the con-
ditions here before school opens on
September sth. Mr.. Shave was for
five years owner and manager of a
large farm and he has had extern
sive practical experience as a brick
layer, carpenter and bridge man. He
has served several terms as assistant
county agricultural agent, and has
published several articles on various
phases of farm work. With his ex-
perience as a teacher, Douglas county
high school can look forward to high
class work along vocational lines.
Both of these new members of the
high school faculty come with the
highest recommendation from school
officers under whom they have serv-
ed, as well as from members of the
faculties of their respective univer-
sites.
Mr.. Shumway and Mr.. Shave both
have high degree of fitness for the
work they will undertake in the
Douglas county high school.
Miss Halle Organ, who returns to
serve in the Douglas county high
school for the coming year has re-
Gently left Oakland for Glenbrook
Lake Tahoe, where she will remain
for the rest of the summer.
Miss Ruth Marion Stewart is at
tending summer session at the Uni
versity of California and will prob
ably spend the remainder of her va
cation with her parents at Turlock
California.
H. f. 0'Brien, of the science de-
partment is in Palo Alto registered
in the summer quarter at Stanford
University.
The Douglas county high school
will open September Sth. The main
hall is being retinted, and minor inn
provements are being made in the
building, preparatory to the work of
the coming year.

FARMERS FEEL
THEIR RIGHTS TAKEN
Declare That Their Rights on
the Upper Carson River
are Slipping Away

There has been more waste of
breath and good ink over the con-
troversy concerning the Spanish
Springs reservoir plan than over any
other issue that has come before the
Newlands project in years. The
squabble has caused hard feelings be-
tween neighbors, has eclipsed con-
structive measures in other direc-
tions, and has blocked progress. The
great majority of Newlands project
water users may as well forget Span
ish Springs. There are other things
to fight for-or against.
For instance there are water rights
in the Carson river that have abso-
lutely nothing to do with the new
irrigation unit proposed. These are
slipping. Upper Carson interests are
encroaching upon Newlands project
rights and they are getting away
with it. The reclamation service or
the department of justice or the wa
ter users themselves have been lax.
AS definitely pointed out by Elwood
Mead, while in Fallon this week, the
water board had better get busy.
There are water rights on the
Truckee river, if made air-tight, that
would to a great measure protect
Fernley and Swingle Bench against
drought during all seasons excepting
those of extreme aridity-and the
surplus belongs behind the dam at
Lahontan. If anything more is re-
quired by the upper lands the United
States government has a definite
iron-clad obligation to fulfill-an OBJ
legation bound by a we'll defined con-
tract.
Lahontan valley water users are
blocking aid to neighbors at Swingle
. Bench and Fernley, who helped to
build the Lahontan dam, by haggling
over expansion that would provide
storage for them.
If Newlands priorities are made
secure, water poachers held at bay
and the stored wetness placed at La
hontan where it belongs, why bother
about. Spanish Springs? Why should
water users here worry if the intake
canal should not be able to take care
of all flood waters-as alleged?
The government proposed to build
a separate project below Reno indie.
pendent of the Newlands project
Water users here would share neithe,

nor operation costs, and expense Of

where originated.
If the government desires to built
a neighboring project let them go tt
it and then, if fighting is necessary
fight for water adjudications, lower
operation costs, or anything else to
which Newlands project water users
are justly entitled. Water users act.

'EASTERNERS
AT MINDEN
Brooklyn Eagle Party Gives
Carson Valley Once Over
and Were Enthused

A party of more than fifty East
ern people arrived at the Minden Inn
Sunday evening from Yosemite Val-
ley, the trip being made over the IT,
oga Pass in five of the big Yosemite
Valley motor vehicles.
The party was made up of repre-
sentative people, most of them well
known in the social and industrial
life of Brooklyn and were induced to
make the trip by the Brooklyn Daily
Eagle, an influential newspaper Of
that city. The party is making q
tour of the national parks in the in
terest Of the development of these
Fairgrounds and recreation points,
that are fast becoming known to ev-
cry automobile owner in the land.
Members Of the party, it is said,
were agreeably surprised to find
such a fertile valley within the bor-
ders Of the sagebrush state. They
were shown through the industrial
plants at Minden and left with a
good understanding of the achieve
ments of the farmers Of Carson VAL
ley.
Monday the party of Fasteners
went to Carson and while there were
the guests of Governor Scrugham
and civic bodies. Later in the day
they were whirled over the Kings
Canyon route to Lake Tahoe and the
night was spent at Tahoe Tavern.
From that point they took the train
to Reno where they were the guests
of the Reno Commercial club.
The party, which left Brooklyn, N.
Y, on Friday, June 20, will occupy
az days in travel and in visiting the
wonders of the west and middle west.
The party has at its disposal spe-
cial train, but it will journey by mo-
tor through some of the most pic
turesque parts of the Rocky Noun
tains, the Southwestern Indian reser-
walton, California and the Sierra Me-
vadas.
The tour was organized in re-
Spouse to an invitation sent by Sec-
retary of the Interior Hubert Work
to H. V. Kaltenhorn, associate editor
of the Eagle. Mr.. Work invited the
party to visit Mammoth Cave in
Kentucky to dedicate new drive to
Tuba City Grand Canyon Park, new
trails and new drives in Yosemite
national park, the new southern en-
trance to Mesa Verde national park,
and the Timpanogas Cave national
monument.

l.. II. TAYLOR RECITES
INTERESTING FACTS
Statements Relative to Stor-
age Systems on Carson
River Were Incorrect

Writing in the Reno Gazette, L. H.
Taylor has the following to say rela-
tive to the water situation:
In your Wednesdays issue report
ing a meeting in Fallon, some one is
quoted as stating that the Dangberg
company of Minden was engaged in
the construction of a storage reser-
yoir with a capacity of $4,000 acre
feet of water in the upper basin of
+ Carson river and was considering
plans for another of even greater
capacity. 1t is further stated that
there are now twenty-five reservoirs
on the upper Carson river and that
construction of these reservoirs has
proceeded in the face of protests by
the reclamation service.
Evidently the meeting question
was possessed of a great deal of
misinformation which | feel should
be corrected
First. The Dangberg company is
building a reservoir of 2800 acre-feet
capacity on a small tributary of Car
son river, and is not planning any
other.
Second. There are now eleven
small reservoirs in existence on the
headwaters of Carson river besides
the one under construction by the
Dangberg company.
Third. Nine of these reservoirs
were either built or under construc-
ton before the passage of the reela-
nation law and two others have been
built by w. +. Dressler and associ-
ates under permits granted by the
state Of California after due notice
TO all parties adversely interested.
The Dangberg reservoir now building
was authorized by the California
state water commission, and so fan
as | am aware, was not protested
either by the reclamation service or
the Newlands irrigation district.
Fourth The Carson Valley irriga-
tion district contemplates the storage
of flood water for the irrigation of
lands in the Upper Carson valley.
For this purpose a reservoir or reser-
voirs with a capacity of about $4,000
acre-feet have been considered.
Fifth. There has been no en-
croachment on the rights of the
Newlands project farmers and none
is contemplated.
speak with absolute knowledge on
this point for | personally formulat-
ed the plans as supervising engineer
of the United States reclamation
service.
Sixth. The reclamation service, as
late as five years ago, proposed to
build a reservoir of $4,000 aere-feet
capacity on the Carson river for the
upper Carson valley lands, and when
the terms of this proposal failed of
approval by the land owners, the
secretary of the interior stated that
he would offer no objection to the
storage by the irrigation district on
its own account. This statement was
later confirmed and in writing by the
assistant secretary and still later by
a succeeding secretary verbally.
feel that the people who attend
ed the Fallon meeting, and especially
the reclamation commission should be
advised Of the facts here stated.

CHAS. TAYLOR
IS ACQUITTED
Trial Held at Bridgeport and
Other Defendants in Court
This Week

Chas. Taylor of Antelope Valley
was acquitted by jury at Bridge
port last Saturday on charge of
having stolen a pair of gold scales
from the Golden Gate mine owned
by Joe A. Brown. After the prose-
cution had rested, Mr.. Taylor pro-
duced as evidence a receipt signed
]. Allard in which it was set forth
that the scales in question had been
purchased from him for $500. 1t
was upon this evidence that the jury
forthwith acquitted Mr.. Taylor.
Two other Mono county men charg-
ed with robbing the Golden Gate
mine are on trial at Bridgeport this

automobile over the Brockway-Incline
unit of the new lake road a day or
two ago, according to information re-
ceived in automobile circles here.
The road between Incline and
Brockway is in process of construc-

about 150 yards of the distance, says
the Gazette.
On completion of this stretch, the
road crew will move camp to Incline

SACEHEN SEASON
OPENS HERE ON
AUGUST Is

There is a general belief ex-
listing among hunters of this
locality that the open season
on sagehens begins on the 1st
of August and closes on the
10th day of the same month.
The open season for killing
sagehens is from the 10th to
the 31st day of August and the
Nevada law reads as follows:
at shall be unlawful for any
person to take any sagehen or
sagecock or prairie chicken ex-
cept between the sixteenth (16)
of August and the thirty-first
(31) of August, both dates in
cluded, in each and every year"
