DUCK SEASON OPENS
IN FALLON SECTION

The opening of the duck season at
the sloughs and lakes of this county
attracted hunters from all of the
western section of Nevada. as this j.
practically the only section that car
ries enough water to swim duck
The Reno club, the local Greenhead
club and those who belong to no club
were out bright and early Tuesday
morning.
The string of cars that came IN
Monday was continuous and II was
almost a procession to the hunting
grounds.
All sorts OF luck was reported.
Some limit bags were shot. lot that
did not contain the lawful number
are reported and in many instances
places were covered with more men
than ducks.
This season has shown a plentiful
supply of birds, but many of them
are feeding In grain fields scattered
over the whole of the project. which
accounts for many OF the ponds be-
ing empty of birds following the
early morning flight.
The Greenhead club will hold its
annual shoot Sunday of this week
as many of the local club members
could not get out owing to the week
day work. AS a consequence the club
ground was not much disturbed by
hunters.
The shoot for next Sunday is be-
tween two teams. that of Tip Depp
and Tony Casleton. The losing team
win pay for the dinner that is to
follow on Monday evening. The an.
nual shoot of the Greenhoad club is
now famous over the state and a
number of members outside of this
city and district are enrolled. Sun
days shoot should be record break
er as the captains have been out and
spotted down the likely places for
the birds.

This is undoubtedly a mistake, as
undoubtedly the proof positive of
this Archaeological blunder is In pos
session of F. b. Headley OF this city.
Some years ago while excavating at
a point near the present Lahontan
dam limb of wood was unearthed.
For several years Mr. Headley has
been endeayoring TO classify this
ancient and excellently preserved
piece of wood. He has taken the
trouble to submit his find to the
Smithsonian Institute, to scientists OF
Yale and this spring the limb was
taken to the meeting of the delegates
of the National Research Associa-
tion in San Francisco. Even these
advanced scientists failed to classify

There is no question but that this is
a branch from the tree from which
Eve plueked the most historical apple

NOTICE To CITIZENS

Effective at once and for the dura.
tion of the present power shortage
the following regulations must BE-
observed:
The conservation of electric cur.
rent at all times is desired, but espe
aially 50 between the hours of p

Sprinkling lawns and irrigation
from the City Water System is pro
hibited;
Attention is again called to the
prohibition of the use of water dur
ing fires. Shut off all valves and
hydrants when the fire alarm sounds
Attention is called to TIE existing
ordinance relating to the starting OF
fires. Prevention of fires is very nee
essary.

water that there Is sufficient water
in the reservoir to carry the domestic
lode. The bank reserve is being de-
pended on to a considerable extent
to assist In keeping water enough
back of the dam TO generate power
for the small lighting service that is
now available.
Loyel0ck in Same Fix
Lovelock is going through the
same conditions that are being ex-
perienced here The city depends on
electric power to handle the water
system and all motors are out of
commission for any other service.
There is a question as 10 what will
happen in case there is but load
enough to apply TO one town
1t is suggested at the city hall that
rotation of power between the two
towns be inaugurated in case Of nee
essity. This would mean that both
towns take certain hours of service
and might save the situation
The city council will take up the
matter of water service at the next
meeting and while it is realized that
there is no chance of building an
auxiliary plant to take care of the
situation some substitution will have
to be inaugurated TO look after this
city necessity.
Truckee Situation
The people OF Reno and Sparks
are endeavoring TO extend their con
tract for pumping water from Tahoe
after the 1st of October. The con-
tract provides that domestic and san
itary water may be pumped. This
will probably mean the extension of
pumping for several weeks, but as
the pumping will be paid for By
Reno and possibly the power COM
pany, 1t is not likely that any of the
water will find its way to the Lahon-
tan plant.
Should a storm of any magnitude
occur in the next ten days there is =
possibility of continuing electric ser
vice and this would possibly send
some water through the Truckee
canal to the reservoir which would
augment the power situation. The
reclamation office has been hoping
that the elements would assist at the
critical moment and che moment Is
practically here.

EAGLE RIVER, WISCONSIN, DECEMBER Il, 1924
WANT CHEST CLINIC

Eagle River is in the race for one
of the twenty four free chest clinics
offered by the Wisconsin Anti Tuber-
culosis Association this year for the
highest per capita sale of Christmas
Seals in its 1924 annual campaign.
Communities that won clinics last
year are particularly anxious to win
them again this year, knowing the val
ne of the work, and those which fail
ed last year are entering the contest
with unabated zeal hoping that the
prize will fall their way in 1924.
Twenty-Five of the clinics are to be
awarded to in corporated cities and
villages as prizes for the highest and
second highest per capita sale OF
seals; and the other two will go to the
unincorporated villages or cities hay
ing the highest and second highest
sales.
More than 800 towns have entered
the contest. In order to make the
terms as fair as possible the incorpor
ated communities have been CLASH
ed into eleven groups, arranged ao
cording to population, and two clinics
are to be awarded in each group.
Group one is composed of cities and
villages of population of 800 or more
group two of communities of 1000 to
5000 population, and so on down the
scale, group eleven being limited to
Incorporated villages and cities unde
500 population. All communities are
classified according to official u s..
census. Cities having local Tubercul-
osis Associations are not entitled to
enter the contest.
