DIRECTOR WALCOTT AND CON-
GRESHAM NEWLANDS.
Head of the Geclodical Survey View
ing Reservoir Sites in Nevada.

Hon. Chas. D. Walcott, Director of
the United States Geological Survey,
accompanied by Congressman New
lands, and Mr.. Davis, anoted hydraulic
engineer, and L. Fl. Taylor, who has
charge of the hydraulic work in this
State, passed through Carson Valley
last Friday on their way to the head
waters of the Carson, for the purpose
of viewing reservoir sites in that vi
cinity. From the Carson river the
party travelled by way of Wellington
and Smith valley to the upper courses
of the Walker river; from there to Yer
ington and Wabuska and then across
country to Wadsworth. From the lat
Ter point the party will go to Lovelock
and Humboldt and look over the reser-
voir site near the last named place.
The entire circuit from Carson will
involve 240 miles Of travel by private
conveyance and it will not be pleas
ure jaunt by any means. However,
these gentlemen connected with the
Geological Survey are thorough scien-
lists, accustomed to roughing it in the
West and they are full of interest in
the great work of irrigation, which it
is believed will do so much for Nevada
and other States in the arid region.
The character of the trip in contem-
plation clearly indicates that Nevada
is not being left out of view in deciding
upon the work to be done under the
new irrigation law, for the primary
object of the laborious journey is to
consider the question of reservoir sites
upon the Carson, Truckee, Walker and
Humboldt rivers.
The information and data which Mr..
Walcott will obtain upon this trip will
be of very great value in its bearing
upon the cost of constructing reser-
voirs, and the general work of conserv-
ing the waste waters of the State.
For the last eight years Mr.. Walcott
has been in his present position at the
head of the Geological Survey. He is
man of high scientific attainments,
as well as great executive ability. He
is devoted to his work and has enjoyed
the fullest confidence of every admin
istration under which he has served,
both Democratic and Republican, for
there is nothing partisan in the work

OIL for the
Children

Give them oil-cod-liver oil.
It's curious to see the result.
Give it to the peevish, fret.
full child, and he laughs. Give
it to the pale, anamic child,
and his face becomes rosy and
full of health. Take a flat
chested child, or a child that
has stopped growing, give him
the oil, and he will grow big
and strong like the rest.
This is not a new scheme.
It has been done for years.
Of course you must use the

GET THE BEST.

When you pay out your good
money you of course want the best
of what you are purchasing. When
you want an auctioneer to sell your
goods you should secure the SER
vices of the best, because the sue
cess of a sale depends altogether
on the salesman.
VIM. T. Hartley, the boss auc-
tioneer, officiated at nearly loo
sales last season and everyone OF
them was grand success.
Mr.. Hartley has had experience;
he has the confidence of the buy
ing and selling public and that is
the reason he leads in his line OF
business.
Now, remember, if you are going
to have a sale, see VIM. T. Hartley,
leave all the details in his charge
and your sale will be successful.
