MRS. DONAHUE
PASSES AWAY

Mrs. Thomas Donahue died In Reno
last Friday afternoon following an
operation for appendicitis which took
place a week before her death. Her
condition was considered critical
from the very beginning of her ILL
ness because of a ruptured ap-
pendix.
Mrs. Donahue was a resident of
Virginia City for many years before
her marriage, after which she es-
tabllshed her home at this place.
She was kind. considerate and
beloved little lady and through her
thoughtful mannerisms endeared her
self to a wide circle of friends in
this community.
The funeral services were held
Sunday afternoon from the family
residence at this place, Rev. Bronson,
of the Gardnerville Methodist Church,
officiating. Interment took place in
Garden cemetery.
She leaves besides her husband,
Thomas Donahue, two brothers, Al
fred and John Harris of this place,
and a step-mother, also residing here.
They have the sympathy of the peo-
pie of this community in their be-
reayement.

MRS. LANCWITH
PASSES AWAY

1t is with profound regret that
people of Winnemucca learned yester-
day of the passing away of Mrs.
Mary Langwith at San Francisco
hospital, death having occurred dur
ing last Thursday night, because for
many of her 5S years of age she
had resided in this city and Col
conda, with her husband. Judge j.
A. Langwith, and their family, and
had gained the admiration and re-
spect of a large circle of friends.
Deep sympathy is extended to her
mate of 80 years, Judge Langwith,
who is thus left TO face the winter
of his life without her encouraging
|companionship.
Mrs Langwith was taken serious
ly i'll several weeks ago while visit
ing with friends in Golconda. She
was later removed to the Langwith
home here and later taken to a
san Francisco hopsital for an opera
ton. She had been Ill for some time
and her last sickness was an out
growth of her weakened condition.
Judge and Mrs. Langwith cele-
brated their 80 wedding anniversary
last November. They lived for many
years in Golconda where Mr.. Lang
with acted in the capacity of South
ern Pacific agent While there Mr..
Langwith also acted as police judge
for the town of Golconda for many
years. They later moved here and
have maintained their residence on
West Fifth street for many years.
Prior to their marriage, Mrs
Langwith was Mrs. Mary Kane.
Seven children were born to this
union, six daughters and one son.
The daughters all survive while the
son died many years ago. The
daughters are, Mrs. Fred Berry of
San Francisco; Mrs. Carl Spring
meyer of Gardnerville; Miss Gene
Langwith of this city; Mrs. c. T.
Childs, Miss Margaret and Mary
Langwith of the Hawaiian Islands.
Funeral arrangements have not
been completed and will await the
arrival of the three daughters from
the Hawaiian Islands, who are ex-
pected to arrive tomorrow.
Mrs. Langwith was an active mem-
Der of the Ladies of the Altar Society
of this city and also was member OF
the Women's Civic Club.-Winnemuc-

| Give BIG DANCE

! Tomorrow night at Rex theatre the
members of Gardnerville lodge l. o.
o. F. will give a dance in honor of
the 105 anniversary of Odd Fellow
ship. Committees have been hard at

local lodge.
| The Everett orchestra has been en-
gagged to furnish music for the oc-
casion. Realizing the fact that con-
siderable dissatisfaction has been
registered by dancers of hiring music

have hired the orchestra to play un-
til four o'clock provided the dancers
wish to continue until that hour No
special collection will be taken up
or allowed. Floor committees will
be on hand and will do all in their
power to make the dance an enjoy
able one from every possible angle.
Assisted by the Rebekahs, the Odd
Fellows will serve a midnight supper
at their dining hall.
The public Is cordially invited to
attend this dance and join with the
Odd Fellows In making the dance a
success.
On the same evening Grand Master
Riley of the jurisdiction of Nevada

Odd Fellows to convene at o'clock,
at which time he will present veteran
jewels to nine members of Gardner
Vile lodge who have held continuous
membership in the order for twenty
Ave years. He will be accompanied
a number of the Grand Lodge officers
as we'll as may Odd Fellows from
Reno The lodge ceremony will be
completed early SO that all visitors
may be present when the grand
march opens the dance at 8 o'clock.

SWIFT TYPIST
DOES HIS STUFF

Albert Tagora, worlds champion
typlst fer 1923. gave an exhibition OF
his skill at the high school Tuesday
afternoon, using an Underwood ma.
chine.
Before the students he wrote 16C
words a minute from unfamiliar
copy without making an error and
176 words from familiar stuff. Al
the rate of 100 words a minute he
could carry on a conversation or ado
from dictation a column of figures
four across and five down while writ
ing.
The typing record at the high
school is approximately 60 words a
minute. He maintained this record

acy was a treat to the students of
the high school.

REV. HAEDICKE
TO SPEAK HERE

In a post-Easter sermon the Rev.
Frank A. Haedicke. Lutheran Mission
airy at large for the state of Ne
vada, Will speak at Trinity Lutheran
Church Sunday morning. Taking for
his text Matthew "a, 4, why seek
ye the living among the dead?"
Pastor Haedicke will show that is
exactly what the unbelieving Modern
lists and Liberals are doing with the
risen Christ.
A modernist writer recently made
this statement: I'm an unmarked
grave In Palestine lies the dust that
once was the Nazarene's body"
What distortion of the Bible! Does
It seem reasonable for any one to
look for the living in the graveyard?
Rather a hopeless quest. But that Is
exactly what Modernism is doing.
What a gloomy search! And hope
lessl
And why seek The living among the
dead? There is no comfort or salts
faction in a dead Savior. Does the
Totem pole of the Alaska offer any
comfort? Will the medicine" of the
Indian Medicine man bring back
life? Does facing eternity without a
Savior offer any peace OF heart or
mind, or hope of pardon?
Then why seek the living among
the dead? Is it wise? Is 1t in
telligent? Is 1t reasonable? The
mother that sulks thru the cemetery
in search of her child among the
tombs when she has positive proof
and assurance that her child is at
home. and alive, has the sympathy
of her fellowmen. Likewise all those
who seek the living among the dead.
Along these lines pastor Haedicke
will show how unreasonable the
theories of this modern. and yet
age-old heathenism Is, which is rails
ing its head in many Christian de-
nominations today. Those who heard
this Lutheran missionary in Trinity
church on Thanksgiving day will
want to hear him again. Pastor
Haedicke has a convincing way of
presenting his subject, which catches
and holds the attention of his hear
ers A real treat is in store for
those who desire real meat" in a
pulpit discourse The church choir
will repeat the Easter anthem, He
is Risen"

DRY SEASON IS
QUITE CERTAIN

Unless abnormal spring and sum-
mer rains occur, western Nevada
faces an exceptional dry season.
Less than half the usual amount of
water will flow down the streams of
the various basins, while the level OF
Lake Tahoe is lower at present, and
may drop lower, than at any time In
years.
These facts are contained in the
April stream flow forecast of DR.. j
E. Church, Jr., head of the Nevada
cooperative snow survey system
The report based on snow measure
ments taken on central Sierra water
sheds, contain valuable data for pow
er companies, irrigation engineers,
farmers and general water users. re-
ports the Reno Journal.
Lack of precipitation during April,
May and June may cause still fur
ther reduction of % per cent in run
off In all streams and 90 per cent IN
Lake Tahoe, DR.. Church estimates.
In addition to the snow shortage
on high elevations, the scant cover
is also pronounced in lower levels,
especially in the eastern Sierra and
Humboldt basin, with the result that
the April to July run-off will be un-
usually light.
In the Humboldt quadrangle, the
scant snow cover probably will fur
nish a run-off of only 72.4 per cent
in the main Humboldt river at Pail
SADIE and SOL per cent in the Little
Humboldt. This will be low from
April to May owing to the shortage
ON the low level but will approach
normal during June and July when
the snow on higher elevations begin
to melt.
Run-off in all basins may be furth-
er depleted, DR.. Church says, II less
than normal precipitation falls from
April to June.
Although dry summers do not usu-
ally follow winters of scanty snow
fall, light rainfalls during the first
half of the present April reduces
somewhat the chance of obtaining
super-normal precipitation for the
period. Total precipitation for April
this far has been 16 inch. The nor
NAL is 16 inches.
The normal water shortage is es-
pecially perceptible at Lake Tahoe
Navigation at the wharves AROUND
the lake will be materially affected

ond lowest period during the keep

BOND ELECTION
IS TO Be Held

A special bond election will be held
at Minden. Tuesday, May goth, for
the purpose OF accepting or rejecting
the proposition of issuing bonds in
the amount of $4,000 for the pur-
chase of the Minden water and sewer
system.
The proposition Of mnnic Up
ownership of the Minden water sys-
TEN has been under discussion for
some time, and practically every
property holder in that town Is
heartily in accord with the move
ment, the election on May goth be-
ing merely matter of legalizing the
bond issue.
The Minden water system Is one OF
the most modern of any small town
in the state of Nevada. and Is of the
pneumatic type. With an electric
pump water is pumped from an
artesian well into two large steel
tanks Of large capacity. Put under
air pressure, the water Is forced
through the mains and by automatic
devices the pressure is maintained at
a, given point at all times. The tanks
and machinery are housed in a
frost-proof building suitable to re-
quirements.
Through a special tax of soc on
each one hundred dollars assessed
valuation in that town, ii Is estimat-
ad that fbe bond issue will be clear
ed up In eight or nine years and
after that time, the earnings from the
owned water plant will
care for the general expenses of the
town, eliminating the necessity Of
special town tax as is now necessary.

HEAVY STORM
HELPS RANGES

Tuesday night Carson Valley was
drenched by heavy rain which
aside from being of great benefit to
growing crops, was of great value to
the lower ranges, according to sheep
men. Owing to a shortage of green
feed on the lower ranges, ewes and
young lambs have had tough pick
ing. However, the warm rain has
started green feed and as result
sheep men are jubilant
During the storm of Tuesday night
over a foot of snow fell at Lake
Tahoe and IS inches at Blue Lakes.
Wednesday Pat Harris attempted
to take a load of supplies to the
quarantine camp at Lake Tahoe but
found the road blocked with IA
inches of snow this side of Kings
bury summit and was forced to
abandon the trip.

rendered special music which, with
the church beautifully decorated with
Easter lilies, added to the impressive

program and in songs and recitations
the story of the Resurrection of
Christ was retold. The children
