PRETTY WORK.

The bill presented the State by Mes
Sis. Judge. Chartz and Coffin for ser
vices rendered in the litigation with !
the Southern Pacific of $3.50 piece
was finally cut down to $3.50 apiece by
the Legislature, and the attorneys de-
clined to accept the money.
They could have done little else and
retained their self respect as members
of the legal profession.
The previous Legislature, run by
men who desired to aid the tax dod-
gers of Nevada as much as possible,
cut down the appropriation for collect
ing State revenue and emasculated the
bill as much as possible and hoped to
make it absolutely imperative.
The State Board was confronted
with crisis 1t had to lie down and
confess that it was powerless or afraid
to enforce the revenue laws or get into
court and fight.
1t chose to make the fight and in
that contest it was arayed against the
best legal talent that could be procur-
ed on the Pacific coast.
1t is III no disparagment OF the then
Attorney General, William WOODBURY..
to say that the task of giving battle
to the attorneys Of the corporation
was too much for one man. He ask
ed for help and got it. The Board re-
. tanned three other attorneys. 1t paid
them what it could from its scanty ap-
preparation and left them to go to the
Legislature for the balance.
J The fight was won by neither side
but it was d contest stiff enough to
! show the corporation that the State
meant business and would contest it's
rights to the finish and the result OF
the drawn battle was that the Sou
them Pacific railroad company have
been paying On the highest valuation
they have ever paid since the history
OF the State. The legal contest has
added millions to the revenue Valuatl
ON of the State and its effect will be
far reaching into the future in the
building up of the Commonwealth Il
saved the revenue bill and sent State
revenue on the upgrade insteadof the
down. Now the attorneys who accom-
plished this are refused a paltry fee
for their services
Such legislation is too pin headed
and parsemoneous to discuss calmly.
Suppose there had been no suit ant

The starting Of the pumps on the
Comstock last Saturday last was the
occasion OF general interest thrOug-
out the State and in fact it reaches
farther, as the word was flashed over
the wires that the old lode was to be
developed to greater depth and new
camp.
Many men OF note spoke on the &C.
casion, and while the other papers
have contained many notes from those
who addressed the gathering on the oc-
casion, the Appeal quotes the follow
ing from what was said by Mr.. But
tiers and Franklin Leonard, Jr. Both
gentlemen have given good advice that
should be followed to the upbuilding
of the section and State in general.
Their intention is good from every
standpoint as they are personally
and financially interested in this State
and are doing all in their power to
better the conditions for themselves
and the people who lock to Nevada
as a place of profitable and safe In
vestment. The following from these
GEM lmen is worth producing:

conclusion that vast bodies of low

Fort Hays Experiment Station
Has That Distinction.
Comprises 1000 Acres of Rich
Kansas Land.
GIFT TO THE STATE.
Turned Over by the United
States Government.
3 Good Work Now Being Done on
the Farm.

Hays. Kas.. Nov. 5.-One of the best
things the federal government has ever
done for the west was the transferring
of the old Fort Hays military reserva-
tion to the state of Kansas, and the
establishment of the experiment sta
tion on the eastern half of the reserva-
ton BIZ the state
The Hays experiment farm is by far
the largest in the world. It comprises
four thousand acres of the best land in
western Kansas. and it permits expert
ments to be conducted on a scale COM
mensurate with the way farming is
carried on in the west.
The superintendent of this great ex-
pertinent farm is J. G. Haney, a young
Republic county man. who went to the
State Agricultural college a few years
ago and made a marked success of the
study of agriculture. After his gradu-
alton he went to Mexico and had
charge of the agricultural department
of Mexican railroad. Not liking that
country, however. he returned to the
United States and went to Illinois to
specialize his agricultural studies
When the federal government turned
over the Fort Hays reservation to the
state with the understanding that half
of it should be used for agricultural
experiments under the direction of. the
state Agricultural college, the regents
determined upon Mr.. Haney as the
proper man to have charge of the
farm.
He brings to his work not only the
enthusiasm and the scientific training

building was laid a few weeks ago for
the school.
While the work on the experiment
station has only started comparatively,
several very valuable experiments are
we'll under way. Tests were made with
one hundred and sixty-five different va
rietieS of wheat last year to ascertain
their prOductiVenesS in western Kansas,
, and this test will be continued. An ex-
pertinent is in progress this fall to as
certain whether the time of blowing
for wheat makes any difference with the
crop. Superintendent Haney began
blowing soon after harvest last sum-
mer, and a tract was plowed every two
months until a few weeks ago. Then
it was all seeded at once. Care will be
taken to ascertain if the ground which
was pIowed early produces better than
that which was plowed late, as some
allege.
Another experiment of value to west
ern Kansas farmers is designed to as
certain the effect of Kaffir corn upon
the ground Some farmers allege that a
heavy crop of Kaffir corn so depletes the
soil Of moisture that it will not pro-
duce other crops we'll for a year or two
afterwards. This will be tested
superintendent Haney is also breed
ing new varieties and crosses of wheat
This work has been carried on extern
sively in Minnesota for a number of
years and extremely valuable results
have been secured for the Minnesota
wheat growers. superintendent Haney
desires to ascertain what varieties yield
the heaviest in western Kansas and
what varieties are the hardest, and
then cross the two and afterwards, by
selection of the best seed, to breed up
the desirable qualities. He began this
work last year, but it will necessarily
require a series of years to get the best
results.
The interests of the stockmen of the
west are to be looked after.in the ex-
periments as well as those of corn and
wheat growers. In the experiments this
summer the farm has produced an
abundance of rough feed of all kinds,
from alfalfa, sorghum, kaffir corn and
bromus inermis, to all kinds of straw
SUPERINTENDENT Haney has just con-
structed a series of small feeding pens
in each which he will place eight or
ten calves, and they will be fed def
mite period under the same conditions,
but each pen will be given different
feed. This experiment will probably be
invaluable in ascertaining the best and
cheapest method of producing baby
beef in western Kansas, subject in
which many western Kansas farmers
are interested.
All of these experiments can be con-
Quoted on the same sort of scale tnat

When the war department picked out
the site for Fort Hays and its reserva-
ton away back in the Indian days, it
selected just about as good farming
land as there is in that part of the
state. In that respect it differs greatly
from the Fort Riley reservation. The
reservation contained about 1900 acres.
1t lies on the south side of Big creek. q

an abundance of water and the north

is largely bottom land and the rich prai-
