damage to crops Is reported. In Elko
county, heavy grain was badly lodged by
high winds, and cut hay lying In the fields
was damaged some by the rain. The week

AIkali and Irrigation.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson stopped
over at Reno last week and visited a num-
Der Of the ranches in that section Of the
State. He is on his way homewArd from a
tour Of the Western States. Speaking OF
irrigation, Secretary Wilson said that one
problem 70 be solved by the irrigation
farmers in many localities was how to
irrigste the land sufficiently without
bringing the slkali to the surface. Con.
slant irrigation without proper drainage
would. in many cases, bring alkali to the
top Of the ground and materially interfere
with the produciiveness Of the land.
Drainage. he thought. ought TO be care
fully studied by the irrigation farmer.
During his Western trip he has given
much attention to irrigation, and was
greatly pleased with the results accom-.
plished on the otherwise barren lands Of
this section.

terview in to-morrow's Age-Herald, will
say: THE contest In Kentucky may have
an important bearing on the status of the

secret Service for New Possession

secret Service for New Possessions
Chief Wilkie OF the secret service says
that there are Q great number of N ais
10 the Philippines. They are so numerous
and successful that it will soon be neoes-
sary to make provision for secret service
agents in the islands. The counterfeiters
do not make limitations of American
money. but reproduce Spanish and Chi
nese coins. In the present condition Of
affairs In the Philippines the counterfeit
ing OF these coins does as much harm as
the making Of bogus American money, and
perhaps more. General Otis ia doing what
he can 10 break up the practice. but he has
q hard fight on his hands. as he has no
trained detectives. Chief Wilkie ssys also
that there is much oounterfeiting going on
in Cuba, Porto Rico and Hawaii, though
not SO much as in the Philippines, and
that the secret service will have to be ex-
tended 10 these islands.
