Reno Ledger Is For Roosevelt.

We have been asked if this paper
favored Roosevelt's reelection to the
Presidency. In answer to this question,
we state that we most certainly do. and
in nutshell we believe that the well
fare and prosperity of Nevada is as
sured if Roosevelt succeeds himself. He
is doing great things for the develop
ment of Nevada and we see no reason
why the good work should not continue.
The business development of this State.
is of more importance to our people
than political taking. We will be able
to give sufficient reasons for our posi-
ton in the future when political mat.
ters warm up. We are independent
and act for what we believe to be Ne
vada's best interests.-Reno Ledger.

Scientific Farming in Nevada.

At the new 2000-acre Douglass ranch
at the mouth of Ophir canyon they are
busily employed in clearing the land of
sagebrush and getting it ready for cul.
tivation, says the Virginia Chronicle.
Mr.. Douglass i'll short time will have
one of the best ranches in the valley, as
the ground has a natural fall and will
require very little work to put it under
cultivation. They are now building a
dam in Ophir canyon to catch the
water there. and Mr.. Douglass inten-
tion is to build dam in Little valley,
making large lake at that point. He
then proposes to put in electric power
and use it to pump water from Washoe
lake. BY so doing he will have to raise
water only 40 feet to reach any part of
his ranch. Land in that part of Washoe
valley without water is valueless, but
with water it is worth over 800 per
acre.

New Mark for Bronco Busters.

Here is novel feat that can be done
by an Oklahoma negro: He starts
wild steer on the run, and pursuing
him on horseback, rides alongside, aud
when at full speed leaps from the horse
to the back of the steer. Then taking
hold of its horns, he slides under the
head and neck of the then frantic ami.
NAL, and seizing it by the nose with his
teeth, let's go the horns, and leaping to
the ground, throws the steer by means
of his mouth hold alone. Pickett is a
medium sized, bow-legged and decidedly
muscular negro. He has no peer and
no imitator in his speciality. 1t is a
lively sport. and ought surely to be-
come popular in Oklahoma.-New York

The world is full of people who are
unskilled in work, and willing to work
for the lowest wages. Those in demand
to-day are the ones who are master of a
trade. The boy who hopes to accom-
plish anything should endeavor to be-
come an expert at some trade, then his
services will always be in demand and
he can command good wages. To do
this he must be careful and painstaking
with his work, always striving to do
every job better than the one just COM
pleted. 1t is too often the case that the
boy, while learning trade, wants to
advance rapidly, and when given some
thing to do. instead of trying to do it
right, will attempt something else that
only one skilled in the work can do.

PROVES A GREAT SUCCESS.
Gold Separated from the Black Sand
of the Carson.

A trial run of four hours was made
at the placer plant on the Carson river
last week, says the Record. The large
amalgamated pans at the end of the run
had the gold that has formerly baffied
all attemptsto save it. Beside this sum
there is that saved in the large sluice
and the rifles to be taken into account.
The large Evans elevator which handles
2,7oo tons per day, worked to perfection
and in fact the working of the entire
plant exceeded all expectations The
owners, most of whom were present at
the trial, are jubilant over the outcome.
Since the plant has proved a success,
numerous similar plants will be erected.
: : This showing means more to Gard
nerville and vicinity than any one
thing that has transpired here for many
day. For years the fact that gold ex.
listed among the black sands of the Car
son river has been known to every citi-
zen of the county, but owing to it's
lightness. all efforts to save it have
proven unsuccessful. Now that this
problem has been solved by the Nevada
Placer Company, numerous other plants
will be erected along the river, and
Gardnerville will reap the greatest ben-
eft.

ENTRIES OF IRRIGATED LANDS
What the Secretary of the Interior
Says on That Subject.

L. II. Taylor. Chief of the Hydro
graphic Survey, furnishes the following
information regarding the entry of
lands in the zone that will be benefited
by the irrigation canals, the construc-
tion of which has begun in Washoe and
Churchill Counties, Nevada.
All lands commanded by the proposed
irrigation canal shall be classified and
sub-divided into farms or homestead
tracts, each tract to include as near as
may be 80 acres of good irrigatable
lands.
After this work is done, the secretary
will announce the lands open for entry,
naming the limit Of entry, the price to
be paid for water, and the conditions to
be complied with in order to secure
land and water.
1t will be possible to deliver water to
a small portion of this land as early as
the Spring of 1905, but the major part
of it can not be irrigated for some time
after that.
In taking up this land the settlers
will be required to comply strictly with
the requirements of the homestead law
in regard to residence. AT this time, it
seems decidedly inadvisable for intend
ing settlers to file upon the land, as it
is impossible to make a homestead be-
fore water is available for irrigating
purposes.

ALKALI LAND RECLAMATION.

One of the most important papers
read at the Irrigation Congress was the
one read by Thomas II. Mears, of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, on the reclamation of alkali lands.
These alkali lands are of two kinds,
says the Salt Lake Tribune, those
which naturally are permeated with
alkali, and those upon which alkali has
been carried by the washings and seep-
age from irrigation. In either case
the remedy is the same-irainage and
flooding.
Mr.. Mears told of the processes en-
ployed under the auspices of the De-
partment of Agriculture. by the Bureau
of Soils. Drainage. in connection with
agriculture, he said, has not been prac-
ticed in America; but stations have been
established by the Bureau at which
practical experiments are being made,
with results that so far "clearly show
that the large areas of alkali land in the
West can be reclaimed at cost far be-
low the actual increase in the value of
the land, and that those lands injured
by seepage water can be returned to
fertility and the danger of rise of alkai
in them entirely obviated."
These are the main points in the prob
lem-the teaching out of the alkali at
cost which will be economically sound
proposition, and the certainty that the
alkali will stay eliminated. These two
points assured. the owners of the land
can proceed under the methods laid
down by the Bureau of Soils This Bu-
reau is devoting the greatest and most
detailed attention to this whole subject,
and strives to put the farmers in possess
sion of the facts ascertained as soon as
possible. And world of cheer is con-
tanned in Mr.. Mearss summing up.
that "The results so far obtained clear
ly indicate the value of drainage in ir-
rigated land, and it is thought that the
time will soon come when drainage will
be as common and as we'll known in the
irrigated districts, where land is very
valuable, as are the tile-drained fields
of the middle West, where values sell
dom exceed 800 per acre."

The impossibility of making equitat

The impossibility of making equitable
assessments would seem to be a sort OF
indication that our system Of assess
ment and taxation is about as far from
being what it ought to be as is imagin-
able. says the Los Angeles Times.
Until the small taxpayer dosen't have
to pay any more taxes in proportion
than the large one there will not be as
much jnstice in the land as there would
be if the basic principle OF taxation
were not the crudest of crudities.

MEN AND WOMEN TEACHERS.

Chicago Record Herald: The com.
parative influence Of men and women
teachers upon pupils in the schools is a
question that might have been discussed
with profit many years ago, when there
were men teachers in the grammar
grades as well as in the high schools.
But in these days, when more remuner.
ative fields of business endeavor have
allured men away from the profession
of teaching and have left the schools
almost entirely in the hands of women,
there is really nothing to be gained
from discussion of the question as to
which exerts the stronger influence
upon pupils. The women are doing
the teaching. They will continue to do
most of it under present conditions.
