Marietta Lads
Win Big Event
In Tech Relays

The relay team representing Mari
eta High School won first place in
the Tech Relay Carnival held at
Grant Field in Atlanta Saturday. The
Marietta team had to beat some of
the largest prep schools in the south
to win this honor. In fact the At
lanta newspapers were so confident
that small school like Marietta High
couldn't win such a big event that
they mistook the an" on the lads
jerseys to stand for Marist College
and credited the Atlanta Institution
with the honor. This was later cor
rected and the local lads given the
praise they deserved.
The team was composed of Read,
Wallace, Kitchens and Macarthur.
They will all receive gold medals tes-
tifying to their splendid victory.

AUTO TOURISTS
GET WRONG DOPE

Automobile tourists arriving here
this week from Los Angeles, report
that the Southern California automo-
bile association is routing tourists,
as far as is in their power, through
maps and literature, to keep from
Nevada highways as much as posi-
blae, and as a result, the upper road
through Carson Valley leading to
Lake Tahoe from Yosemite Valley
is being extensively used. Those who
have travelled the road before and in
fact make an annual trip over the
Yosemite-Lake Tahoe highway, have
become "road wise" and follow the
route leading through Minden and
Gardnerville and over the Kings
bury grade to Lake Tahoe, the
shortest and most direct route be-
tween the two points. Nevada's
stand on the foot and mouth disease
it is said, is responsible for much of
this adverse activity on the part OF
California automobile associations,
that undoubtedly figure this stand
as a retaliation against the quaran-
tine regulations enforced by Nevada
against the foot and mouth disease

new CISTERN FOR
FIRE COMPANY

Owing to the fact that shortage of
water in the Carson river has made
ii impossible to keep water flowing
through the bitches that pass Gard
nerville. thus placing the fire depart
ment at disadvantage in case of
fire, the department this week put a
crew Of men at work excavating for
underground water in the old river
channel near the j. J. Brockliss
home. A shaft twenty feet deep is
to be sunk and a tunnel is then to
be run for considerable distance both
ways in order to secure as big n flow
as possible. The work is being pro-
secuted under the supervision of
Otto Muller, who has wide experience
in placer mining in the northwest
and the same principles that are
used in tapping underground gravel
beds are being employed.
IL the excavations now under way
develops good supply of water
for fire fighting purposes, two or
three more shafts will be sunk at
different parts of town, which with
1000 feet of hose owned by the fire
department, will make il possible to
reach nearly all of the buildings in
town.
Water supply in the smaller els
terms is limited, because of the alb
sence Of surface water, which under
normal conditions furnishes an
abundant flow.

WATER TROUBLE
IS NOW ADJUSTED

An agreement between representa-
tives of the government and water
users along the Walker river was
reached today in the United States
district court whereby the Walker
Indian reservation will secure suffi-
cient water for at least one good ir-
rigation and the ranchers along the
river will also be able to secure wa
ter.
Under the agreement reached wa
ter will be allowed to run down the
river from the East fork, while the
water from the West fork will be
impounded for five days in the Topaz
reservoir and then released for use
on the reservation.
After the five days the other wa
ter users will be allowed to use the
rema' ming water, says the Carson
Appeal.
1t is expected that the water from
the East fork will keep the river
bed wet and the holes in the river
filled while the water from the West
fork is running into the reservoir.
Then the five days impounded water
will give a sufficient head to carry
down to the reservation.
For the remainder of the season
the reservation will not draw water
from the stream and other ranchers
will receive a little water for their
irrigating.

CARSON RIVER SOON
is TO BE PROSPECTED

If positive assurance can be given
that electric current equal to at least
200 horsepower will be available
when wanted in September one of
the strong companies of the Pacific
states will Immediately take steps to
install plant for the purpose of de-
termining the best method to be en-
ployed in recovering the values in
flowered and liquid quicksilver, con-
centrates, sulphides and placer gold
from the Carson river around and
below the sites of the old mines, ac-
cording to the Carson News.
Recently examinations have been
made and extensive sampling done
that experts and engineers may gain
some idea of conditions, values in the
approximately IL miles of the river
bed and many angles to be consid-
cred and problems to be solved in
successfully carrying out the work
the ground to be taken into reckon
warranted. The engineers figure that
ing approximates 100000 cubic
yards.

Coast Gravel & Rock company OF
San Francisco, and Alexander Logic
owner of the Morgan and Franklin
mill properties, very recently spent
several days in examination of the
proposed field of activities. James
Yerington of the Brunswick and
Merriman interests was with Messrs
Hadsel and Logic and has been look

STORAGE WATER
IS RUNNING Low
Last of Storage Water Will
Cease Flowing in Carson
By Next Sunday.

The last reservoir of the Alpine
Land Reservoir company was opened
this week and it is expected that by
Sunday all of the stored water will
have reached Carson Valley. After
that date only the natural flow of
the Carson river will be available for
irrigation and will be negligible to
the requirements of the farmers.
Snow in the mountains has long
since disappeared and the river is
now being fed only by springs.
There is no question but what the
Carson river will, in the next two or
three months, reach its lowest stage
IN the history of farming in Carson
Valley and will be of little conse-
quenee in maturing crops.
With the exception of one or two
large ranches, farmers here have
completed stacking the first crop of
alfalfa. On several farms, the sec
ond growth has secured a good start
and a fair crop will be cut, despite
the shortage of water. Grain crops
are reported to be doing even better
than was anticipated and because of
the early season, both wheat and
barley crops are beginning to ripen
and will be ready for harvest within
short time.
From water measurements in his
possession Fritz Dangberg, Water
Commissioner of the East Fork, is
of the belief that after the storage
water is exhausted, the flow of the
river will drop to about seven hum
dred inches.
The water commissioner also says
that the less water, the harder the
job, especially when there is always
some people who prefer helping
themselves rather than asking for
water.

BOYS HOME FROM
TRAINING CAMP
Homer Raycraft Declares that
Military Training Was En-
joyed by Local Boys.

VIII Gibson of Minden, Walter
Cook of Genoa and Harvey Harris
and Homer Raycraft of Gardnerville
the latter being an apprentice in
this office, returned from Fort Doug
las, Utah, Saturday where they at
tended the military training school
for the past month.
Homer Rayeraft declares that ex-
perienee gained at the military train
ing camp was most valuable to all
of the young men. He returned
home nightly pleased that the Me-
vada company carried off the honors
of being the best drilled outfit at
the camp and was given place of
honor in a number of parades at
Salt Lake City. Besides being a
soldiery outfit, the Nevada lads prov
ed superior in athletic contests, win
ming nine out of twelve events.
The boys were given considerable
target practice with regulation army
rifles, and young Raycraft declares
that all of the boys got quite a
kick out of this. Or rather the
heavy rifles gave them quite kick
when they were fired.
During extended army drill, sew
eral big 75's were fired over the
boys heads, the big shells bursting
high on the mountainside, with one
exception. Something went wrong
with one of the guns, and shell ex-
ploded within several hundred feet of
where the boys were marching, and
the lads got the thrill of their young
lives when they saw an acre or SO
of ground go up in dust at such close
range.
Sanitary conditions, food and treat
ment at Fort Douglas were all that
could be desired and the boys return
home believing that the time spent
at the military training camp was
worth while.

FEDERAL FUNDS FOR
ROADS IN NEVADA

The secretary of agriculture has
authorized the expenditure of s44,-
148 of forest highway funds to con-
struct and improve highways within
or adjacent to the national forests
in Nevada, according to an announce
ment from the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
One of the allotments calls for
$4,000 to construct four miles along
the Austin-West road in the Toiyabe
National forest. This project links
up with the construction of six miles
of this road authorized year ago.
To survey IL miles along the Ely
Tonopah highway the sum of $814s
has been allotted, and maintenance
fund of $4,000 has been set aside for
use on roads heretofore built.

HOPPERS INVADE
CARSON VALLEY

Hordes of grasshoppers have been
crossing the highway a short dis
tance this side of Genoa lane for the
past several days, making their way
into grazing field owned by the
Dangberg Land & Livestock COM
pany In the early part of the sea-
son this field offers fine pasture to
hundreds of head of stock but at
this particular time it is covered
with bumper crop of tickle grass
or foxtail. No extensive damage to
this field can be done by the pests
but should they continue their jour
ney eastward, they may reach the
cultivated fields on the upper part
of the Hayburn tract. As far as is
known no attempt has been made to
poison grasshoppers in this valley
this season.

A. BROCKLISS
PASSES AWAY
Had Been a Resident of This
Valley for Sixty Years and
Was Well Known.

Anthony w. Brockliss, who had
been i'll at his Sheridan home for the
past several months, died on the
night of July 10th. During the last
two weeks he failed rapidly and rel
atives knew that the end was near.
Deceased was born at Cold Springs,
Ell Dorado county, California, De-
eember 4th, 1852, and was a few
months past 72 years of age. With
the exception of the first eight years
of his life, he had resided in Carson
Valley all his life. He was an indus
trious citizen, leading a quiet life
and possessed those characteristics
that endeared him to wide circle
of friends.
With his parents he came to Car
son Valley in 1860 and the trip over
the Sierras from California was
made over the old Kit Carson trail.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. K. Brockliss, par
ents of this estimable citizen, passed
through Carson Valley from Iowa in
1850 on their way to California hav-
ing Joined the large number of gold
seekers that crossed the plains in
early days. They finally settled on
the American river, where Mr.. Brock
liss built bridge and conducted a
toll road for number of years.
The spot where the old bridge stood
has been marked as one of the his
toric spots of California.
Deceased is survived by one sister,
Mrs. Nellie Bull of La Grande, Ore
gon, and five brothers, James j.
Chas. o., Frank f., Arthur E. and
Duke 7. Brockliss.
The funeral services were held at
Sheridan last Saturday afternoon,
Rev. +. V. Bronson of the Gardner
vile Methodist church, officiating.
The services were largely attended
by friends. Interment took place in
the Mottsville cemetery.

WHEAT ASCENDS TO NEW PEAKS
Speculative Buying Is Caused By Reduced Can
 adian Crop Figures

CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-Wheat scared today well above the topmost prices heretofore reached this season. Re- duced Canadian crop figures, the chief immediate influence, led to speculative buying on a big scale. Closing quota tions on wheat, however, were unsettled 1Hc to 2Nc net higher, December $1.64M 01.55 and May $1.62@1.62h, with corn Xc to 1Ac up, oats showing 1V1h 10 1Mc gain. and provisions varying from Pc decline to, rise of 1Oc.
 Official announcement that the Ca nadian government estimate or wheat yield in the dominion had been iesseneo 20. .0OO. 900 bushels as compared with sep temher figures gave the market here a lively upturu as soon as business began. The stimulus was all the greater on ac- count of recent cuts also in estimates or the exportable surplus of Argentina and Australia and because of unfavofable fresh adyices today about crop condi- tions south of the equator. In this con nection, 1t was asserted in some Quer- ters that wheat available for world shipment is 50,000, 900 to 100000, ,000 bush els short of total import requirements.
 It was only after the May delivery of wheat here showed about 19c advance from prices which prevailed ten days ago that the market underwent any pro- nounced setback. This downtown came just before the close, and appeared to result from extra energetic efforts to realize profits on purchases made earlier. A.
 Corn and oats displayed Independent strength, owing more or less to reports that corn growers were organizing to hold corn for $1.50 bushel. Consider able notice was also taken of huge shrinkage in the estimated amount of oats available in Canada and Argen- tina.
 Provisions were somewhat firmer, sympathizing with grain.
