goers who journeycd to the track went

up TO THE FARMERS
Chance To Save Their Water
Shed

Greeley French, who owns consider
able wood in the canyon to the west
OF Jacks Valley, was in this city yes
terday. In speaking of the timber and
its general destruction in this section
Mr.. French said:
! 81 have about a thousand acres OF
timber land at the head of the springs
where the farmers of Jacks Valley Sc
cure their water 1t is my intention to
cut this timber and market it, as
have grown tired of paying taxes OH
a piece of property that is bringing in
no revenue. l realize that if the tim
Der is taken away the farmers of the
valley will be short on water for many
years to come, as it is the only means
of holding back the SHOWS in the sum-
mer SUM- l have offered the farmers
chance to purchase the timber land
as it stands, and they can cut enough
wood for a thousand years to come to
run them, while at the same time they
will preserve their snow shed and in
sure a bountiful supply of water. On
every hand the result OF cutting timber
is seen, and as the years roll by the
water supply becomes less as the sun
me4,s the snow as soon as 1t becomes
warm in the spring. 1t is simply w
to the farmers to buy the land for their
own preservation"
From the above it would appear that
the farmers of the prosperous little
valley to the south of Carson had bet
ter get together and take up the pro
position that is offered them. Ha6
the farmers of Carson valley and the
Walker river country secured the tim
Der lands and cut them judiciously
there would never have been any Law
suits over water, as it is a known fac
that before the timber was cut tina
more water flowed down the rive
channels than has since the trees wer,
destroyed. When the farmers begil
to study forestry in connection witt
regular work they will help themselve
more than they ever can in the lay
courts. What Nevada needs is
State Forestry Commissioner that vii
insist on the judicious cutting of tin
Der in the water sheds.

THE CITY DADS
They Decide to do the Without
liuhis til October

The City Trustees at the regular
meeting Monday evening decided to
call on Superintendent Adams of the
Electric Light company before taking
action on the bill for lights furnished
the city for the month of July. A spec
ial meeting was held in consequence
last evening, at which Mr.. Adams ad
dressed the board. He stated that ow-
ing to the scarcity of water and the
failure of contractors to furnish wood
that it was impossible to furnish the
city with the complete service that he
desired. Whatever reduction that was
made by the Board would be satisfac-
tory to the company. He then sug
gested that as matter of economy all
around that the service for arc lights
for the city be discontinued until the
LIST of October, when he believed that
the company could furnish good SER
vice. The Board then acted on the
bill which was cut from 500 to $3.50.
A record had been kept of the num-
Der of nights that lights were given
which showed II nights without ser
vice and partially. The month be-
fore the bill was cut SIS on the same
account The Board discussed the
matter of disseminating the nights as
suggested and decided that owing to
the conditions that the city would have
to be without the arc lights until Oct
ober 1st A full Board was present
and the action seemed to meet the ap
prevail of the spectators present. Con-
still here and that the lights are short
the action seems to be good move

Shortening the Line

Contrary to their expectation during
the first of the year, the Southern Pa
cific company anticipates running the
trains over an entirely new piece o:
road between Lucin and Reno within
the next three months. says the Ogden
Standard Many Of the cut-offs will be
completed and nearly all the replacing
of tracks will be finished
The new line will begin at PeQuop
and through these mountains there
will be thirty miles of new track laid
and the cutoff will cut out ten miles
in distance. Between PeuuOp and
shorten the distance some more but
these will not be completed for use at
the time the other track is. The tun-
nels are at Ryron and Osino west of
Wells and at Tonka west Of Elko.
In the Peko canyon. between Elko
and Carlin. there will be forty miles
of new track and this will cut out ten
miles of the distance
From Carlin to Beowawe, through
Palisade canyon, there will be twenty
miles OF new track and it will cut
eight miles in distance
There will be a long cutoff from
Beowawe to Golconda, cutting out the
ShOshOne curve and leaving Battle
Mountain Stone House and Iron Point
away to the south. This cutoff will
give forty-five miles of new track and
will cut out fifteen miles in distance.
From Browns to Reno there will be
eighty miles of new track, and while
the distance is not materially reduced
the running time will be decreased one
hour and twenty minutes.
With the completion of tie Ogden
Lucin cutoff the distance will be fur
Their decreased 461 miles or a comp
plete reduction of S9.1 miles between
Ogden and Reno and a reduction in
running time of over four hours and a
half.
