Land Values.

An exchange says: 1.-THE Deluchi
ranch in Douglas county, containing
an area of 700 acres and forty COWS
brought nearly $50 per acre" Will
the Gardnerville COURIER please tell
us the assessed valuation of that ranch?
-kiko Iaotependent.
The Deluchi property sold for S19,-
412. Part of the land is in Alpine
county, Cal. The assessed valuation
of the property in Douglas county last
year was $6,s45. OF this sum 81,
was on real estate, 500 on improve
ments, and 30 cows and 10 head of
stock cattle and other personal prop
erty, valued at Sl,s45, make the total.
The best part of the ranch is in Doug
las county, the land in Alpine county
being principally grazing land.
As a general thing real estate in this
county is assessed at about one-third
of its actual value, and according to
this rule Mr. Deluchi has paid his full
share of taxes. And we believe a
greater value is placed on land for the
purpose of taxation in this county
than in most counties of the State. A
short time ago it was discovered that
ranch at Lovelock which sold for
S37. 30 per acre was assessed last year at
s. per acre.

Carson Creamery.

Yesterday the Board of County Com
missioners passed a resolution adver-
Using the Agricultural building for sale
at auction to the highest bidder.
1t is the intention of the Chamber of
Commerce to bid the building in and
give it or lease it at a rental of one dol
lar "A year to the company first pre-
pared to run it as a creamery.
The ranchers in the vicinity of Car
son have signifed their willingness to
take sufficient stock in the enterprise
TO place it in operation and the build
ing is to be furnished by the Chamber
of Commerce and the citizens of Car
son as bonus to the new enterprise.
Objections have been raised to the
proposed creamery on the grounds
that it will constitute public nui-
sance. If it should continue a null
sance any citizen, the value of whose
property would be deprecated by such
nuisance, would have cause of action
against the county and under the ex-
isting city ordinances he could cause
the nuisance to be abated.
The appeal believes that there is a
mistaken idea about the creamery as
far as its being nuisance is concerned.
There is creamery operated in the
heart of Reno and no one has ever
complained of it. 1t is essential to
keep creamery absolutely clean as
the slightest odor Injuries the butter
A creamery that gave forth bad odors
would soon be obliged to close its doors,
as it could not market its product.
1t is supposed that creamery must
have hog pen in connection with it,
but this is not necessary and it is not
proposed to raise hogs within the city
| limits.
If hogs are raised in connection with
the creamery the skinned milk will
be taken beyond the city limits to some
place where it will not constitute a
nuisanee.-Appedl.

Irrigation Data Wanted.

The Director of Census desires to
impress upon all engaged in agricul-
tnral pursuits in the arid and subhumid
regions of the United States the i'm
portance of cooperating with the CEN
sus Office in the work of collecting data
relating to irrigation.
Without such cooperation full and
accurate showing of the progress of de-
velopment of these regions cannot be
assured, and the sections wherein re-
ports are incomplete will suffer in COM
parison with those from which fuller
information has been secured.
In thirteen States and territories ir-
rigation, wholly or in part, is relied up
on TO produce crops. 1t is the appli-
cation, in the strictest sense, of scien-
tific methods of farming. Its continued
development results in internal ex-
pansion of the public domain with
which no individual or political party
can find fault. 1t eonquers the en-
croaching desert and reclaims millions
of acres of waste lands. 1t means an
increase in the productive area of our
country great enough to feed and
clothe another nation almost as popu-
lous as our own.
1t is therefore apparent that an &C
curate census of irrigation is of great
i'm portance. The fact that its succe S
depends in some degree upon the irri-
gators themselves should awaken their
hearty interest in this work. Parties
owning canals and bitches who have
received no inquiries are earnestly re-
quested to write to L. g. Powers,
Chief Statistician, in Charge of Agri-
culture, Census Office, Washington, d.
c., and blanks will be mailed to them
at once.
The Director asks that all to whom
these inquiries may come will answer
the same as fully and accurately as
possible and promptly return them. .

asked to-day. bu, whether or not Ne ever

II IL quite certain thai He did not say what
Mr.. Clark quotes In Mark xvi. o, We find the
words "He that believe,h and ia baptized shall
be saved, but he that believeth not shall be
damned. The r.visers of the New Testament
inform US that the correct translation Of this
passage is, He that believeth and is baptized
shall tesaved, but he that disbelieveth shall he
condemned II will be noted that in both
cases the rite Of baptism Is made an essential
prerequisite 10 salvation. as we'll as faith itself.
and without the aptism salvation would be inn
possible, no matter how great the faith.
Al the same time, the validity Of the passage
itself was more than called in question when
the revisers OF the New Testament wrote on the
margin Of the Gospel. The two oldest Greek
manuscripts. and some other authorities, omit
from verse D to the end. Some other authorities
have a different ending 10 the Gospel"
