"Two-gun men!'
Bob Davis snorted and poured
more coffee into his saucer to cool
before polishing it off in graceful
musical gesture.

stories or going to too many
movies Davis-you probably know
him, most valley folks dds tall,
lanky and wears a stiff -brimmed
Stetson. He's been in the valley
since the turn of the century and
has seen it grow from desert TO
green fields.
"Sure. most men carried guns
when first came out here. Matter
of course. But I can't remember
ever meeting anyone that carried
two; for the simple reason few
men, if any, can shoot with both
hands at the same time and hit
the broad side of a barn.
Movie actors can sWagger with
two guns but no real killer in the
old days would know what to do
with an extra shooting iron"
Davis tilted his Stetson back and
dragged at a long-dead cigar.

that he was for it from the start.

Habitual Traffic
Violator Pegged

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 25.-"Habit-
ual traffic violator" today became
an appelation to avoid as the de-
partment of motor vehicles started
drastic action to eliminate one Of
the most dangerous of auto drivers
from the highways of California.
Under instructions from Ray
Ingels, director of motor vehicles,
department files are being combed
for consecutive traffic law violators
and stop" cards are being set up
to revoke licenses of all persons
determined to be habitual offenders
against the vehicle code.
In addition to immediate action
to revoke licenses of persons deter
mined to be habitual law violators,
said Ingels, the department will tag
those autoists whose records indicate
they are prospective habitual violat-
orG. Such prospects, according to
the director, will be served with
sealed warnings stating that further
offense will result in revocation of
license.
Powers invested by the new We
hicle code make it possible to take
more drastic action against persons
who continuously speed, drive reck-
lessly, or break Iarking laws" said
Ingels, "and intend to go the limit
in removing these types of motor
lists from our highways.

The meeting will be in the Bilt-'

the Motor Car Dealers association
of Southern California and the ma
tional organization, the announce
ment states.
Ways and means will be dis
cussed and devised tC improve
conditions to the depression evils
that existed in 1881 and 1882,
Jack Frost, general manager of
NADIA, said.
Volume Increases
volume of sales is increasing,
but losses occur. Improved rela-
tionships between the factories and
the retailing outlets are progress
ing, but must be continued toward
improvement. Our business must
be placed permanently upon sound
principles, net alone for our own
welfare, but for the welfare of the
entire industrial structure of this
country, and for the welfare, dir
ectly or indirectly of some 5,0O0,-
900 employees.
Thee speakers of national pro-
i.iinence will be the national Or
ganization's contribution to the
meeting. They will treat with
three phases of the dealers prob
lens. One pertains to management
che to finances and the other to
sales problems. The speakers are:
William B. Burruss, business and
sales analyst.
Edward Payton, widely known
throughout the trade as ar out

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 25. up
Setting a new high mark for the
month of December, registrations of
new passenger cars in California last
month reached total of 0,165. The
closest this figure has ever been
approached was in 1925, when the
December total was 1883.
During the entire year of 1885,
196,969 new passenger care were
registered in CALIFORNIA; gain of
691 per cent over 1884, and the
largest total since 1929. Virtually
all makes scored gains over 1884.
The first five makes in order had
the following increases; Ford, 53.3
percent; Chevrolet, 52.3 per cent;
Plymouth, 479 per cent; Dodge,
1861 per cent; and Oldsmobile, 1860
per cent.
In the eleven counties of Southern
California, 1l1,614 new passenger
cars we're registered last year Com
pared with a total of 65,387 in 1884.
This is gain of TOT per cent. Motor
Recorder estimates the cash value
of new passenger cars sold in South
ern California last year to be in
excess of $106,000,0O0. This COM
pares with an estimated $59, 100000
in 1884.
Total new passenger car registrs-
tion in the individual counties OF
Southern California last year, with
the percentage gains over 1894, were:
Los Angeles, 82,133, 724; Imperial,
1910, 48.3; Inyo, 25l, 40.2; Kern

Reno, Kan., Marriage
Fee Only 3 Cents

RENO, Kan, U.P)-Another Reno
is gaining fame in the matrimonial
business, but by the opposite method
from that of the Nevada mecca of
the incompatibles.
Reno, Kan, is the place where the
knots are tied instead of united. 1t
is small Leavenworth county vii
lage on U. S. Highway 40 north of
Lawrence.
The cost of marriage is exactly 5
cents. A. G. Hess, justice of the
peace, will tie t/e knot at that price.
The judge assesses the Scent fee
so his books will balance at the end
CT the fiscal year. 1t covers the cost
of the return of the license which
the justice of the peace must make
to the probate judge from whom it
is purchased.
One annoying hitch has devel-
cped. Judge Hess sometimes has
trouble finding the necessary two
persons in Reno to serve at witness
es. He always manages, however, so
aspirants need not worry about
bringing them along.

Auto Dealers to Push
Up to New Prosperity
Many Jobs
In One for
Clerk Here

Probably there is not another Oh
flee in the county court house where
one man is as many things as Coun-
ty Clerk Edward H. Law, ex-officio
clerk of the board of supervisors,
clerk of the superior court, registrar
of voters, official in charge of all ma
tional. state and county elections,
chief of the marriage license bureau
and practically everything else along
those lines except adviser to the
lovelorn.
The county clerks Office, just TO
the right of the lobby on entering
the court house, is staffed by flve
persons besides the clerk hlmSel1.
His chief deputy is Clarence HIM
derks, office deputies are Mrs. Dor
othy Reynolds and Miss Citha Lam
son. Deputies assigned to two su-
perior court departments, but VINO
also discharge other duties IN Inc
office, are Mrs. M. A. Christian and
w. j. McClelland.
The office will operate during the
current fiscal year, which began July
l, 1885, on a total budget OF Sl3,l9o.
Because of it's close connection
with superior court work-all legal
documents are filed in the clerks
cffice-it requires detailed knowi-
edge of criminal and civil codes OF
the state, as we'll as close applica-
ton to detail in keeping OF the court
records. In default cases, Tor m
stance, the clerk discharges duties
which nominally would fall to the
superior court judges, following
through all legal requirements even
to issuing default Judgment. The
court calendars are made up IN the
clerks office, and various court doc
uments prepared there.
A recent survey disclosed that an
average of more than 10000 docu-
ments are filed annually in the
clerks office. During one 12-month
period, filings included 457 civil
cases, SO criminal cases and 104 pro-
bate cases, with each case represent
lIlS, ny COllotlV VdblFC Coeiiiie'eS, az
least 20 documents.
Passport Requests
Besides this work, the clerk takes
passport applications, handles all
naturalization proceedings except
the actual hearing before an ex-
aminer, registers various certificates
such us those of doctors and dentists
files papers in juvenile and insanity
cases and coroner's inquestS, files in
tentions to wed, issues marriage Ii
cenSes and files articles of incorpor-
alton and co-partnership.
One of the heaviest burdens On the
office is the discharge of election
duties, which include registration of
voters, preparation of precinct lists
and the great register, selection Of
election boards, routine of election
canvasses by the supervisors, mail
ing of election notices and every
other detail incident to an election.
With three elections scheduled
during the current fiscal year, the
presidential primary election and
the August primary and general
elections, the county clerk will be in
charge of expenditure of $4,000 for
the elections alone.
Law is serving his second term in
office.
