ening opened up a cause for the
people to pursue in farming irri-
cation districts.
The law passed by the last Leg
islature makes provision for the
farming OF these districs and the
way rancher and miner in the
State - Nevada should read the
law Oh this important question.
A serious litigation now exists be-
tween large land owners, who
seem to be expanding consider
able sum of money; the litigation
has only begun and will probably
continue for years. Whoever
wins the flow of the water will not
be increased, and not an addition
al acre of land can be put under
cultivation. This same amount of
money expended in storage would
accomplish great results, and set
tie pending litigation, and would
put under cultivation a large
amount of arid land now uncul
tivated.
1t will take some time of course
to perfect the proceedings leading
up to the actual construction of
the works necessary for storage,
but it is important that the work
should be commenced now in or
der that it may be the sooner COM
pleted.
If any defects should be found
in the existing law an opportunity
will be given for rsmedylng it at
the next Legislature.
All this legal business retards
progress and consumes valuable
time and capital. Year after year
water flows from the mountains
and rains in torrents, running to
waste over uncultivated ground.
Mr.. Newlands in the meeting
called upon manager Fulton to
give some explanation upon the
working of the law The latter
said the law simply gave the peo-
pie the right to form districts or
not, as they saw fit, and the same
authority to issue bonds that each
school district now has. The pc
tition to organize must be signed
by a majority of all taxpayers
within the line of the proposed
district who must pay up a bond
il the election is against forming
a district. Two-thirds of the
votes must be in favor of forming
such a district. If formed it will
be divided into five parts from
each of which one supervisor will
be chosen. These five will consti-
tute a Board of Control and man
age all of the business. If bonds
are issued another election must

acres in Douglas county, keep the
quartz mills running the year
round and be used on lands in
Lyon, Ormsby and Churchill coun-
ties. The district could be made
worth four million dollars, and the
tax would be three mills on the
dollar.
The State ought to survey the
reservoir cites, and the Board of
Reclamation Commissioners should
have used part of the 100000
they had for that purpose. The
Legislature repealed the law APP

TO THE FARMERS OF VERMONT.

1t has incidentally come to my know
ledge that you occasionally make com
plants because of the small sums re-
ceived for your dairy skins. The fault
is your own, for if you would take them
off and properly care for them you would
rarely find Il skin that would bring you
less than 80 cents, and great many of
them would bring you 60. 40 and even
80 cents each.
Poor skins, like poor butter, are poor
property and bring poor price. 1t will
cost you only a penny for postal card
on which to send me your address, to
secure full printed directions as to the
proper method of taking off and caring
for your calf skins. | will very gladly
mail these to you free, postpaid, If you
will send me your name and so request.
In most of the towns of Vermont |
have buyers, but in localities where ]
have none l would suggest that half
dozen farmers club together and ship
their skins in quantities of % or more, in
which case will pay all freights after
delivery at II. Il. depot. | cannot allow
you wholesale prices in towns where |
have a buyer, but where have none |
will gladly arrange with any reliable
farmer who Is willing to attend to the
matter of collecting skins taken off in
his vicinity, and in such case will of
course allow the buyers commission.

OBITUARY.,

DEA. HORACE W. SHELDON AND WIFE.
The church at Salisbury has met with
another great loss in the deaths of Dea-
con Horace W. Sheldon and wife. She
died on Monday, April &. and he on We'd
nesday, April s, and both were buried on
Friday and laid side by side in the sane
grave. Her last words while in full pos
session of her mental faculties were Il
know that my Redeemer liveth," which
she repeated with strong emphasis on
the know. The deacon passed away qui-
city, resting in the Lord Jesus and will
ling to go. The work of death always
causes sadness in some heart, but in this
visit to earth his work appeared beauti-
full as we'll as sad. Deacon Sheldon was
nearly IS years old and Mrs. Sheldon
was past her list year. Their welded
life had extended over nearly 46 years.
Two children had been born to them. Il
daughter and a son. Both have families
of their own and both were with their
parents at the time of death. Together
they lived, together they died, together
they were buried, together they entered
upon their life in heaven. What COM
fort for mortals in that word together
when applied 20 the family and when APP
piled to husband and wife. 5 .ch a re.
moving of ii home from earth to heaven
has much about it we call beautiful.
Mrs. Sheldon's health had not permitted
her to attend church for some years. The
deacon was one of the faithful ones
whose presence at the morning church
service his pastor could depend upon.
His faithfulness was not because of IA
vorable circumstances. He lived -four
miles from church. old age was upon
I A. hnr g I'M ri h,,t
he said it was his duty TO go to church as
long as the Lord gave him strength, and
when the weather was not too severe he
was found in his place in Gods house
thus preaching sermon four miles long
on faithfulness to many younger one,
who lived nearer church. God give Vi
more of these four-mile sermons. Sails
bury had always been the deacon's home
as he was born, lived and died on tn,
same farm. He was born in 1916. III,
united with the church in 1898. His wifi,
was Lydia NJ. Parkhill of Cornwall
They were married Oct. 8, 1915. Sh,
united with the church in 1913. He wa
elected deacon of the church in 1876, anC
held the office till his death. He was
descendant of the Puritan, John Alden
and was possessed of Puritan qualities
lie will be greatly missed. The desire o
his heart for the salvation of the unsave,
shone forth brightly at his funeral, II
had written Il hymn for the occasion
which was an appeal TO the unsaved. II
also had written what he called his fun
eral sermon. which was read AT the fune
raj services. 1t was strong appeal t
the unsaved, into which he had woven
large amount of scripture in such a wa
as to show he was good Bible schola
and that his heart got hold of its grea
spiritual truths.

The MaeIstrom Is a Realty.

g.Its1 [St Louis Gl0be-Democrat.
90 many marvellous tales have been
told of the Norwegian maelstrom that
several writers, even of geographical
works, have pronounced it entirely
mythical But the whirlpool is reality,
and from surveys has become well
known. 1t is on the Norway coast to
the south of the Loffoden isles, and runs
between a small island called Maskenes
and rocky islet. The depth of the wa
ter in the straits is about 100 feet, while
lust outside 200 foot line will scarce
ly touch bottom, and the strong currents
rushing in and out Of the fiords create
not only the maelstrom, or mill stream,
but numbers of other whirlpools that
render navigation exceedingly danger
Gus.
The strait of the maelstrom is perfect
ly calm at ebb or atfood tide, but with
the rising or the falling of the tide, or
when high wind is blowing or storm
raging, the waters driven in from the
ocean find their way out again through
the strait with SUCH mighty violencethat
no ship can pass through the eddies.
There is little downward suction, as is
COMMONLY supposed, the danger being
that the vessel will become unmanage-
able and be driven on the rocks. It is
said that whales:have been found in the
vicinity with their heads completely
crushed in, having been caught in the
current and dashed against the cliffs.
The Norwegian government has sur
veyed the maelstrup, and warned all
nayigators against fits dapgeuf
