NEVADA AT IRRIGATION CONGRESS.

Nevada should be represented
by a large and representative
delegation at the session of the
National Irrigation Congress to
be held in Ogden, Utah, Septem-
Der 18th to 18th. This State is
probably more deeply interested
than any other in the various
phases of the irrigation question,
which has now assumed nation
al importance. Special signiti-
canoe attaches to the fact that
Nevada is one of the States
selected for early work under the
provisions of the national irri-
CATION law, and the delibera-
tions of the coming congress at
Ogden will necessarily have an
important bearing on the future
of this great question. Dele
gates should be chosen whose
knowledge of the irrigation
question is such as to enable
them to accomplish something
and prevent Nevada's interests
from being sighted at the con-
gress, and the selection of repre-
sentatives should also be intiu-
enced on the side of persons who
are likely to attend.
The basis of representation is
as follows:
Governor of each State and
territory. 20; Mayor of each
city of more than $4,000 popu-
lation, 4; Mayor of each city of
less than $4,000 population, 2;
each Board of County Commits
sioners, 2; each Chamber of
Commerce, commercial club or
real estate exchange, 2; each

TELEPHONE LINE NEEDED.

Nearly all of the rural districts
throughout the State are now
connected by telephone line, so
that the residents thereof can
talk to Reno, Carson, Sacra-
mento, San Francisco and other
points. Such a system shows
advancement and public spirit in
the sections which have obtained
connection. A telephone line
which would place Mason Val
ley people in communication
with the outside world would be
of great convenience, and we
have often been asked why the
people do not take advantage OF
the law now on the Statutes
which prescribes that any coun-
ty may construct and maintain
a telephone line when three
fourths of the taxpayers of the
county petition the Board OF
Commissioners to. this effect.
The law is defective in that it
SAYS the Commissioners may"
instead of shall" construct such
line upon petition of the tax
payers. If every taxpayer in the
county prayed for public tele-
phone line it would not make it
compulsory upon the Commits
sioners to construct it, and,
Judging from the manner in
which other business has been
transacted, we do not anticipate
that much attention would be
given to a petition for a tele-
phone line. The best thing the
people of this valley and Smith
Valley can do is to canvass the
situation and see what induce.
ments could be offered to the
Sunset Telephone Company to
extend its line from Dayton to
this place and on mp through
Smith Valley to Gardnerville, il
Carson Valley. We believe that
such a line would pay the Sunset
Company, and if it can be SC
demonstrated to the company
there would be little delay about
being strung on the circuit.

SHOULD Be NO FARCE.

Last Sunday Deputy Sheriff
Dillon arrested c. M. Gilliard on
a warrant sworn out by E. A.
Dyer charging Gilliard with sell
ing whisky to Indians. Gilliard
was put in jail that night, and
Monday morning was to have a
hearing before the Justice of the
Peace of this township. He was
held under $500 bonds to APP
pear next day at 10 O'Clock for
trial. That evening, however,
the Justice came to the conclu-
sion that there was not sufficient
evidence to hold Gilliard, and
also that he might not have
jurisdiction in che case, and or
dered the deputy to turn the
prisoner loose, and dismissed the
case. The more frequently such
cases as these occur, the more
whisky there. will be sold to
Indians. The testimony of two
witnesses is necessary to convict
in these cases. and unless an
officer has this proof there is no
need of ariesting any person on
such a charge. for the u S. Mar
shall will not come after them.

the LOCAL NEWSPAPER.

1t is to the interest of every
town to support a good news
paper, not only through local
pride alone, but for practical
business reasons. A newspaper
is doing ten times as much for
its town as it could ever hope to
get pay for-more than it could
charge for, if it would.
The more prosperous a paper
is, the more it is able to do
Show us a good weekly paper,
full of live local ads, with a gen
eral circulation throughout the
county, and we will show you
an up-to-date, prosperous and
progressive community.
Show us a community that
persistently proceeds on the idea
that the editor of the home
paper can live on the "pi' that
accumulates in the Office, whose
official bodies think it a waste of
public money to throw him a
bit of public printing occasion
ally at living prices, whose cit
liens have come to regard it as
one of their lnalienable rights to
work him for long winded obit-
uary notices, Gin memoriams,"
with three inches of hymn book
poetry at the end, to say moth
ing of an occasional notice
about a party or some rich
thing, and we will show you a
community that is living from
hand to mouth and is always on
the ragged edge of adversely.
People ought to stop to think
about these things 1t is an i'm
portant matter. 1t is their own
good that is involved, the wei
fare and progress of their COM
munity, therefore of themselves
individually.
A local newspaper is necessary
to any community. No mer-
chant, no grand jury, no town
council that spends every year
all that it can afford with the
home paper, whether the expen-
diture is actually necessary or
not, makes a wiser, more profit
able investment. They are not
giving" the home paper some
thing. On the contrary, it is
learning every cent it gets and
more, provided it is a paper that
is worth picking up in the road.
And if it isn't that sort OF a
paper it is usually the fault of
the town in which it is pub
lished. Constitution.
