APPEAL MADE TO LOCAL NIMRODS
TO SHOW SPORTSMANSHIP IN
FISHING DURING COMING SEASON

When the fishing season opens in
this section May 1st conditions will
be entirely different than anything
ever known here before. unless the
river rises considerable and the water
becomes muddy. The fish hog and
the unsportsman nimrod, will find it
easy to strip the streams of trout
and ruin the sport for years to come.
1t will be possible within a few
weeks after the season opens to un-
do all the work of restocking the
streams that has been carried on
at heavy expense during the past
number of years.
Will the fishermen of this locality
take advantage of the low water that
has forced trout to congregate in the
deep holes, and fill their baskets on
every possible occasion, or will they
be content to catch fair mess of
speckled beauties occasionally and let
il go at that?
John E. Drendel, president of the
Douglas County Sportsmen Club and
George F. Dangberg of the State Fish
Commission has urged the Record
Courier to make an appeal to the

Grand InstalIs NeU
Pine Organ at Carson

A Wurlitzer pipe organ, orchestra
style, is being installed in the Grand
theatre at Carson City, under di-
reetion of C. T. Lindenbalt of San
Francisco.
The musical instrument is much
larger and far more complete than
any other organ of its kind in Nevada
and will add greatly to the theatre
goer's enjoyment of the high grade
films booked and screened by Manag-
er Crowley.
The instrument is equal to a six
teen piece orchestra, besides the
drums, andf ull equipment OF motion
picture effects.
The new organ in the Grand Is
said to be the only one of the kind
in the state with the Vox Humana,
which gives the effect of soft echoes
of human voices singing in the dis
tance
The purchase of the organ is the
largest single investment made in
Carson in development of the motion
picture industry and coupled with the
high class pictures filmed, is real
addition to motion pictures In this
state.
Mrs Harriet Woodruff Shaber will
be the musician at the manuel of the
new instrument.

fishermen to be mindful of the after
condition. provided they clean the
streams as 1t will be easy to do.
Had this condition been fully realiz-
ed mouth ago. the county COM
missioners would have been asked
to materially shorten the fishing sea
son as an emergency to protect the
streams from being stripped Of trout
1t Is too late now to take that step,
and the only possible avenue of pro-
lection left is to the sportsmanship
of fishermen. 1t will not be neces-
sary to quit fishing. Catch trout. but
do 1t reasonably. Be satisfied with
fair catch and don't be a hog Be
mindful that you might want to fish
next season and II you do not be
mindful and use reasonable discres-
sion. there will be no fishing next
year.
An honest-to-goodnes fish warden
will be on the job this season and
more than one man is going to show
him the size of his catch. If above
that allowed by law, 1t will be the
most expensive catch htat he has
ever made. That's sure

The truck service will not only be
of added value to the dairy industry

Depositors of State
Bank to Get Small
Dividend in Ma,

A dividend of three per cent, pay
able on and after July 10, 1924 was
ordered for depositors and creditors
of the State Bank & Trust Company
by Judge G. A. Ballard of the district
court at Carson Saturday.
The dividend will be the fourth
and probably the final one for the
depositors and creditors Of the de-
funct institution. Judge Ballard says
in his order directing payment. Two
dividends of five per cent each and
third of ten per cent have been
declared since the bank went into
receivership and the last dividend
will bring the total paid twenty-three
per cent.
Cash available for this last divi-
dend is 34,663.95 and this would al
low dividend of about three and
three-tenths per cent, but Judge
Ballard believes that the fraction Is
none too great sum to allow for
actual contingent expenses.

Indian Fishing Net
Found in Gordneruille

The Nevada Historical Society will
be enriched next week by gift of
Piute Indian fish net over sixty years
old, secured at Gardnerville few
days ago by Lorenzo CreeI, former
superintendent of Indian service In
Nevada The net, which is $50
feet long is now on exhibition in 80
window of the Reno sporting Goods
Company. says the Gazette.
Few OF these nets are in existence
today, said Mr.. Creel, at being the
custom to bury them with the bodies
of the departed owners, but | was
fortunate in securing one from a
young Piute who had overcome the
superstitions of his tribe and kept
the net in his possession and after
considerable persuasion decided to
give 1t to the state as a treasure
from the tribe"
Mr.. Creel explains this net is made
from wild hemp. which grows in the
Walker river district in this state
and in places in Colorado. 1t is
woven to about the thickness of
heavy cord and Is exceptionally
strong and is looped with a peculiar
knot, which it is evident the later
fish net makers tried to duplicate.
Not only were these nets used to
catch fish, says Mr.. Creel, but were
also used to catch rabbits, being
strung up and the rabbits driven in
to them. Barefoeted young braves
would then dash along the next,
catch the entangled rabbit, break
their necks and throw them down
and speed across for a back run
after more rabbits as they came in
and were caught he explained.

ing the lawn is happy because
there is no snow to shovel.

DRIEST SEASON
EVER KNOWN

Probably the driest season In the
since accurate records have been
kept" is the way the United States
Weather Bureau characterizes con-
ditions in its snow report for March,
which was issued Monday. The re-
port says that at the close of the
month less than half of the normal
snowfall had been recorded at Sum-
nit and also at the Tahoe station.
The Humboldt basin is much better
off, according to station measure
ments, says the Gazette.
The bulletin states that conditions
indicate that the discharge into west
ern Nevada streams during the COM
ing season will be about forty per
cent of normal although this may be
materially increased by spring and
summer precipitation. Following Is a
summary contained In the report:
The snowfall in the lower eleva-
tions of western basins was about
normal during March, but there was
marked deficiency in the higher
mountains AT Tahoe the snowfall
for the month was about seventy-five
per cent Of normal, while at Sum-
nit ii was only sixty per cent oi
normal Melting was less than usual
because of the prevailing low tenn
perature.
This is probably the driest season
in the drainage basins of Western Ne
yada since accurate records hav,
been kept The precipitation from
September to March over the eastern
slope of the Sierra was about tn,
same as during the same period o
1911-12, which was an exceedingly
dry season. However. the snowfall
was extremely heavy during the wint-
er of 1901, and some of this snow
at the higher elevations did not melt
until the following season. In 1917
the discharge of streams was in
creased materially and the necessity
of irrigation was decreased to- some
extent by moderately heavy rains
from April to July. Precipitation
records for the season and the light
snow cover at the present time indi-
cate that the discharge in western
streams during the coming season
will be about forty per cent of nor
NAL However, it is impossible to
forecast stream flow with any degree
of accuracy this season for the reason
that spring and summer precipita-
+ tion will have more effect on the dis
charge than during a normal season

RECOMMEND OIL
EMULSION FOR
SAN JOSE SCALE

A new spray, lubricating oil emul-
sion, is highly recommended for the
control of San Jose scale in bulletin
just issued by the State College of
Agriculture entitled Peach Growing
in Georgia" The low cost of the new
spray, together with the fact that it
does not have the burning properties
of lime sulphur, will bring it into
great favor with the orchardist, it is
predicted
Oil emulsion is prepared by mixing
one gallon of red engine oil. or oil of
similar grade with one-half gallon of
water and one pound of fish oil soap
The mixture is placed in kettle or
some other receptacle and heated un-
til the contents come to a boil. A
brown scum appears on the surface
of the mixture as it first begins to
boil, but this soon disappears and at
this stage the kettle is removed from
the fire and the entire mixture pump
ed twice under pressure OF sixty
pounds while still very hot. The stock
emulsion contains &c 2I3 per cent of
oil. To make two per cent emulsion
for use in 200 gallon spray tank. it
is necessary to use six gallons of the
stock emulsion
One disadvantage of the oil emul-
sion spray is that it has no fungicidal
properties as found in concentrated
lime sulphur, 1t is recommended that
where two applications are used for
controlling San Jose scale that oil
emulsion be applied before Christmas
and lime sulphur before the buds be-
gin swelling in the spring.
