Interesting Data From Official
investigations

The Bureau Of Forestry issues
regularly, items of interest in that
important branch CT the Department
of Agriculture, and the State of Ne
vada expects to gain somewhat from
the action Of the National Irrigation
Act, the best thing that can be done
is to first look to the water shed of
the State and see the wanton destruc
ton of the forest ceases
The following from the Bureau of
Forestry, regarding an investigation
held to determine the effect Of fer
ests as means of preserving water
in the mountains, is OF interest in
iris community:
The result of the investigation is
noteworthy for the emphasis it places
upon the various efforts of forests
as protective covers for the soil. re
ducing evaporation and improving
the chemical and physical conditions
CT the soil through the influence of
and even distribution of the water
supply is thereby greatly improved
! There are many Indications through
out the country pointing to a wide
spread and growing interest in for
| ests and their reiation to the water
| supply. The national forest reesrye
system has been greatly increased
within the past two years, SO that the
total area included now amounts to
over 6o,0o0,ooO acres OF forest land.
These lands are chosen largeiy for
, the purpose CT protecting the sources
; OF important streams which lie with
in the various reserves. The federal
reserve system embraces forest lands
throughout the western United States
The passage, last June of the Ma
tional Irrigation Act, the practical cut
come of which will depend largely
upon the protection Of the water sup
ply in forested mountains, has give:
great emphasis To the preservation
of forests. The proposed establish
ment of the Appalachian Forest Re
) serve in the east, and the recen
. measures taken in various city water
: works. notably in New England. 70
the preservation and Improvement {
: forests that contain the sources c
/. their water supply. all point to tn
t far-reaching Importance OF protectiv

HELD FOR
BURGLARLY
JERRY CONMELY ENTERS
TODD'S SALOON
Attempts 10 Rob Inc Till and
Leaves Evidence

Yesterday evening warrant was
sworn out for the arrest Of Jerry Como
ley, on the charge CT burglary. Some
time during Wednesday night the sa-
loon of Andy Todd was entered and
an attempt made to rifle the till. A
knife was used and the cash drawer
was nearly cut out Evidently some
noise disturbed the invader, as he left
the knife and his hat in the saloon
and forgot to shut the door. Three
bottles of whiskey were missing.
When the sheriffs attention was
called to the matter, he Immediately
started on still hunt and concluded
that Connolly did the work. He swcre
out a search warrant, and going to
Connoley's room, found two bottles
Of whiskey, Of the same brand that is
missing. The hat was also identi-
fed as ConnCley's. When these cir
cumstalces were discovered, the man
was arrested. At first Jerry denied ali
knowledge Of the affair." but later in
the evening he confessed to taking
the goods. He stated that he was
drunk at the time and did not realize
what he was doing.
Connolly has been on a protrac:ei
spree for some time, and while in this
condition probably entered the saloon.
He had a key that fits the saloon and
this was used to effect an entrance.
The Offense is serious one and
Connolly will have to put up a fight
to keep out of the penitentiary.

Many Carsonites have money inves

to bring returns after waiting, yet
some money invested in Virginia

For the past two weeks there has
