LAND FRAUDS IN NEVADA

washington, ID. c., Nov. 24.-Spec-
lal-The first government irrigation
work undertaken, now in progress in
nevada, promises an unprecedented
development for that state. in area
lhree times the size of Indiana but
win present population scarcely
} lsnfilcient for single county. In
speaking OF the government irrigation
program before the National Geo
graphic Society at Washington the
other evening Frederick H. Newell
the national photographer said: IF
the works are well administered and
the irrigation fund carefully pre-
served, it will be possible to bring
about a great development of the west
and to make homes for thousands OF
families. For example, if instead OF
4o.UJ0 people in Nevada. 400 900 can
find prosperous homes, the conditions
OF internal trade and commerce NAV
be vitally altered"
As a matter of fact the national irri-
cation law means more to Nevada
than to any other state in the Union.
and her history is one which can be
studied with profit by those who are
searching for light on the question
OF proper administration of the public
domain. Nevada, since her admie
sion, has never proceeded upon the
theory that her lands should be pre-
served for home builders. and the re-
suit is that the population of the
whole state, while hardly that of a
decent sized city, is yet at a standstilI
and will continue to remain so until
farm lands are thrown open to settle .
ment in small tracts through govern
ment irrigation.

makes it the duty of the bride to
acknowledge the receipts Of the gifts

PRINTED CARDS OF THANKS.

Two Obnoxious Customs.

Pembina Pioneer Express: Public

ors shown may sometimes be. but
rarely are. in good taste 1t is only
piliteness to express gratitude on the
proper occasion and in the proper
place but it is quite possible to over
do the thing Published thanks for
hlndnesses of friends and neighbore in
cases of deaths and funerals in ordi-
called for There is no doubt of the
gratitude of the surviving friends and
the fact does not need publication, any
more than such facts as that the sur
viving friends are also honest. or
truthful. or moral. In most cases. If
the persons obliged feel a special obli-

charged when the death angel or other

thanks without a feeling of revulsion.
not because it takes time to put it in
type because it seems to him so ont Of
place and unnecessary.
But bad as the funeral card is. the
publication Of lists Of wedding pres
ents is far worse They are also in
the nature of public thanks for what
is really a private gift which from its
very nature has no right to general
publicity outside of immediate friends
of the parties. To publish such list
is to invite public comparison and
comment as to the relative liberality
os the givers In nearly all lists sent
for publication there are many in
significant trifes. AS printed they
seem almost a reflection on the liber-
alty of the givers to the stranger
readers. and yet the value of gift
is not all in its cost. It is not fair
