All because tne "financiers" who planned a $0,080,000 project paid only $5 down on a S1000 state filing fee. Because the balance was not paid within the time allowed by law. the application has been dismissed, it was learned here today. Official Ruling The following official uiling was handed down by Harold Conkling, chief of the Division of Water rights: This is to advise you that on May 10, 1929, application No.

6240 of R. R. Read, which application was for the appropriation of 250 cubic feet per second from Cache creek within S.W.' Ssc tion 5, T. 10 R. 2 M.

D. B. 11., for municipal purposes, was cancelled without prejudice, for failure to remit balance of filing fees. Because of the dismissal "without prejudice" it will be possible for Read to re file the application, but any action on the plan is demeed highly improbable. Opposition Loomed Eefore Cache creek could be dam med, the rights of the Clear Lake Water Company would have to be se cured, and it has already been indicated that the Yolo irrigation concern would violently oppose any such move, A public hearing, at which it is believed much opposition would be ex 1 pressed, would also be necessary be fore a permit coald be granted.

Two dams in Capay valley that I would create a lake 12 miles long supplying Sacramento and other muni cipalities with water, irrigating thou sands of acres and creating electrical current, was the plan, supposed to have the backing of Oakland inan cial I TRIO UNHURT AS AUTO TURNS OVER One woman and two men, ridinff in a heavy sedan, escaped injury early Thursday morning when the car struck a truck and turned over on the highway near Zamora. The woman had been drinking heavily and the1 driver had slight evidence of liquor; on his breath, according to Captain Henry Jacobs of the state traffic squads A jug of liquor was found in the car. The driver gave tne name of Henry Trammell. of Willows. Tracks on the highway indicated that he drove in the center of the highway and smash ed into the cattle truck driven by Arch I West of Arbuckle.

The heavy sedan was deflected from the highway and turned over, badly damaging it. i The woman hesitantly gave the i name of Mollie Miller and after fur ther delay said she lived at Hotel Governor, Sacramento. The other oc cupant would not give his name. West's heavy truck was DAVIS WOMAN PAYS $250 FINE Two hundred fifty dollars' fine was paid by Miss Ida Armstrong, well known Davis woman, in the court of Arthur A. Olstrom, Richmond justice of the peace, for reckless driving, according to word received here.

In pleading guilty to the reckless driv ingi count, Miss Armstrong escaped charges of driving while drunk and possession of liquor. Gold at Your Back Door. Dollar a Gallon Milk. The Williams Place Now. Traveling south on Cemetery avenue, the Stroller ran across Lemuel L.

Williams, a cheery, genial Native Son who was born in '61 in Sonora, and who may therefor be classed among the oldest California's in Yolo county today. Williams was cutting grass along the highway in front of his tree sheltered home when the Stroller hailed him. He seemed not at all put out at being disturbed. The sun was really hot enough to make any sort of interruption a relief. Lemuel's father was a blacksmith in Sonora, and the elder Williams, when he tired of shoeing horses, could go out into his back yard with a pan.

fool around the creek bed a bit, and return with a bit of yellow scattering on the pan bottom. That too, the Stroller imagines, was a welcome interrup Of course, Lemuel explained, there wasn't a lot of gold in that creek, but there was a little. Nowadays creeks aren't so obliging. Well, maybe his dad's panning di, version, it was, that got into Lemuel's blood, and later turned him into a miner. At any rate, Lemuel spent about 20 years or so in the gold re gions of Montana and' "Nevada, and 1 knew all about Tonopah when Wee 1 pah wasn't anything but a dim haze in a seer's crystal.

Most of these years were spent at Butte, Montana, but Lemuel's recollections are strongest in relation to the period he spent at Rhyolite, 60 miles south of Goldfield, the center more or less of southern Nevada mining operations. Malcolm McDonald, whom all Ne vadans and all old time miners will remember as the C. C. Pyle of the mining region, was a brother in law of Lemuel. Malcolm, smooth talker and of an impressive personality, put the gold fields "across" to eastern capitalists, and the millions that were taken out of Nevada soil through his promotion efforts are legion.

Malcolm, of course, didn't get all these millions by a long shot. But he got a respectable portion. And with some of his money he purchased two ranches in the Rhyolite section, both of which contained valuable water rights. Water rights in Nevada, it is understood, were all very valuable in those days, principally because they were about as rare as men's rights at a bridge table. 3 Well, since hardly any of the land; in that section of the country had been surveyed at the time, about the only rights a landowner had were squatter's rights.

Lemuel did the squatting on the ranches for a while, Malcolm was busy with gold promoting. Lemuel told the Stroller he was among the first to try dairying in that section. He sold milk, he remembers, at a dollar a gallon. That's quite a price for a miner to pay for milk! Lemuel never struok it rich in his years at the mines, but he saved up enough of a nest egg to settle on 22 V2 acres of P. N.

Ashley land, south of town, 15 years ago. The land was practically all in alfalfa then. After running a small dairy for a few years, Lemuel gradually sold out his cows and put olives and a vineyard in the land. It is a very pretty place, now, with a lot of trees that give the house a distinct air of privacy. And there is a curious land depression that, paralleling Cemetery avenue on the west for some distance, runs across the place and gives a roll to the ground that reminds one strongly of hill country.

FORT U. P. WIRES FLASH TALE OF DERBY TO W01 i Bugles aren't the only thing that set "wild echoes The "Democrat's" Newspaper Air plane Gift Derby the first in the world is doing the very same thing. To show that the in sponsoring the Derby, merely refleet ed an "ainnindedness" that is as wide spread as the air itself, these columns herewith bring to the reader portions of these The United Press, the world's leading news service, sent the following story out over its network of wires that reaches into every nook and cranny of country: The Story WOODI AND, May 21 The world's first newspaper airplane gift derby to build up circulation has been announced by the Woodland Daily The newspaper edited for many years by Edward E. Leake and now conducted by his sons, Edward I.

and Paul R. Leake, proposes to give away a S3560 Waco "Ten" airplane and a complete course in flying in addition to $4000 in cash awards. Regular staff men who thought of the new idea will manage the event. The announcement came on the eve of the second anniversary of Colonel Lindbergh's historic flight to LeBourget Field. The LTnited Press sent this story over its wires because it recognized its "news value" and its wide appeal as an indication of aviation's strengthening hold on the every day life of the country.

Stepping Out Under the caption "Woodland Stepping the Marysville Appeal Democrat writes editorially (parts only are quoted) the "Democrat" decided to conduct a circulation campaign, 1 and instead of doing the orthodox thing stage an automobile con test bought an airplane and a course of lessons in flying.

This is a rapidly changing world and the Woodland "Demo i in staging the first airplane circulation event, is keep ing step with progress. The airplane derby should have an in I tense and widespread appeal. We congratulate Yolo county on the originality and enterprise of its i daily newspaper.

Moving Forward In a lengthy editorial, the Chico "Rexrd" says in part: the sons of Ed. E. Leake, now the publishers are of i fering an airplane said to be the first such instance in newspaper promotion. Had some 1 body told Ed. E.

Leake, back in I the '80s, when he established his newspaper, that some day his sons and successors would give away i a flying machine that would real ly fly as a reward for securing subscriptions to that same news paper, what would have Mr. Leake said? One may well leave that to conjecture Watch With Interest The Oroville Mercury Register de clares editorially: i For the first time in history, a newspaper will give away an airplane to the winner of a circulation dorby. This distinction goes to the Woodland Automobile contests are frequent, but this is something new. To make it more attractive, the "Democrat" will give a $300 course in airplane driving to the winner. The newspaper profession will watch with interest this experiment of the Woodland paper.

To make the event more unique, the "Democrat" is conducting its own event. No percentage of. the re (Continucd on Page Six) Two Special Services at Nl. E. Church Set Sunday I Two special services at the First I Methodist Episcopal church Sunday i will observe Children's Day and Me morial Day.

A Texas cowboy and a former railroad mechanic continued Thursday to fly toward a new world's record for sustained airplane flight in an old and reconditioned one motored monoplane which heroic its takeoff in the endurance attempt had flown a distance equal to two trips around the earth.
