HOMESTfADlNG NECESSARY
The Time Not Yet at Hand to lacate Land in
Churchill County.

l.. H. Taylor, chief of the Hy-
geographic Survey, furnishes the
following information regarding
the entry of lands in the zone
which will be benefited by the
great irrigation canal, the con-
struction of which has begun in
Churchill county:
All lands commanded by the
proposed irrigation canals shall
be classified and sub-divided into
farms or homestead tracts, each
tract 10 include, as near as may
be, eighty acres of irrigable
land.
After this is done the secretary
will announce the lands open for
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 1T
cannot be irrigated for some time
after that
In taking up this land now, as
well as hereafter, the settlers VIII
be required to comply strictly
with the provisions OF the home
stead law in regard to residence
At this time it seems dec1dedly
;nadvisable for intending settlers
to file upon the land, as It is inn
possible to make a homestead
before water is available for ir-
rigation purposes

A SILVER PARTY LOAD
New Law fxempts Railroad Only from Having
Valuation Raised.


At a meeting of the State
Board of Revenue recently held
in Carson, says Alf Chartz in
the Gardnerville Courier, Hon.
H. F. Bartine was elected State
Examiner under the law of 1908,
and it is stated that he will en-
ter upon his duties at once, and
make a tour of the counties of
the State and meet with the
County Boards of Equalization.
1t is further stated that the
Board of Revenue is fully deter
mined that the tax laws shall be
given a fair trial. | neither doubt
nor question any fact stated.
Mr.. Bartine will do all in his
power and ability to carry out
the provisions of the tax laws.
But the tax laws are damnable,
and shoul eternally be ever
damned. They were enacted by
legislature that belonged IN
the main to the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company; they were
drawn up by the paid attorneys
of that incorporation, for the
purpose of reducing the taxes OF
that corporation, and piling the
same on the shoulders of the
general taxpayers of the State.
| repeat that | do not doubt
that Mr.. Bartine will perform
the duties of his office with
strenuousness and vigor. On
his tour he will find his pleasant t.
est meetings with the Boards OF
Equaliza t1on in the counties
traversed by the railroad, and
he will find his cold frosts in
Douglas, Ormsby, Lyon and
Storey, and it will not be any
too warm in other counties, not
touched by the railroad. Dur
ing the last twenty years in Cal
ifornia, the railroad company
has managed to reduce the valu-
alton of its road from $4,000
to $4,000 per mile, and by just
such work as it did through the
legislature of 1908 in Nevada, it
has managed to increase the
valuation of other property by
100 per cent.-it reduced the val
uation of its own property by
100 per cent. and increased the
valuation of all other property
by 100 per cent. Oh, for pho
nograph which would incessent-
| ly repeat the foregoing facts
within the hearing of every inde-
pendent taxpayer in Nevada.

Growing Ok5

Ought not to mean growing weak and
feeble 1t does not mean weakness or
feebleness for those who eat with good
appetite and sound digestion. It is or
the utmost importance that old people
should retain the power to digest anc
assinlilate food which is the sole source
of physical strength. When age brings
feebleness it is generally because of the
failure to assimilate the nutrition con-
tanned in food

New Stamps Are imperfect

Owing to an imperfection in the new
two-cent stamps recently issued, they
have all beer called in and a new de-
sign is to be adopted. Many persons
suffering from stomach, liver and kid
'ney complaints, and who have tried
various remedies without obtaining
relief have also discovered that they
made a mistake in the selection OF a
medicine to cure them. There is only
one such medicine and that is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. To all
sucb sufferers we desire to call atten-
ton to its unequalled record of cures
extending over a period of 80 years.
Then surely the Bitters is the right
medicine for your case. 1t positively
cures flatulency, heartburn, dyspepsia
indigestion, liver and kidney troubles
la grippe and malaria. Try a bottle
and test it for yourself.

CASE is CLOSED.
Postoffice Investigation Affair
That Amounted to Nothino.

Washington, d. c.. Dec. 26.-Fol-
lowing a long conference today with
Senator Warren of Wyoming regard
ing the latter's interest in a build
ing leased by the government for
the postoffice at Cheyenne, Wyom-
ing, Postmaster General Payne init
mated that the case was closed. He
said the investigation showed that
the lease was made with the sena-
tors agent for the building now in
use and that it would save the gov
ernment $1,000 if a ten year contract
is allowed to run it's course. How
ever, he said that at the completion
of the new government building at
Cheyenne, which will be about July
next the postoffice will be moved
there.

Meade, the victor OF Gettysburg. He
saw service in the civil and Spanish
wars, in the Philippine insurrection
and in the Peking campaign of 1900.
For his services In China hs was
brevetted brigadier general. A few
years ago he was charged with drum
kenness on duty while in command
of the marine barracks at the Brook
lyn navy yard. and was acquitted.
Col. Meade was an applicant for
the Office of commandant of the ma
rine corps to succeed Major General
Haywood, and upon the selection of
Col. Elliott for that place. he ap-
piled for retirement as a Brigadier
General, his brevet rank. The navy
department held that he could not
be so retired. Col. Meade then with
drew his application for retirement,
and in doing so made some caustic
comments upon the manner In
which he had been treated.
These comments offended the ma
Wy department. which recommended
to the President that Col Meade be
summarily retired upon reaching the
age of SO years, two years before the
regular time of statutory retirement
a law permitting the President to
take such action. Col. Meade will
be 81 next Saturday, so that through
his retirement for disability today
he loses only three days of the time
allotted for his active service. Col
Meades latest command was at the
marine barracks at Mare Island,
California. His successor Is Col. p.
c. Pope. who has been transferred
from the Boston marine barracks.
Col. PoDe's successor at Boston is
Col. A. C. Kelton, commanding ma.
rines at Newport.
