Which Govern Entries on
The New Eaial.

The following letter has been received
by Attorney Charles l.. Knox, and it
will be well for those contemplating
taking up lands OIL the route OF the new
canal To read the same carefully:
"Your letter of recent date to the
Honorable, the Secretary of the Interior,
las been referred to me for reply. With
it you transmit a letter from c. L.
Knox, of Reno. Nevada, asking for a
list OF the lands withdrawn from entry
under the Reclamation Law Of June IL,
1902, and also asking whether these
lands can be located upon by intending
settlers.
OF which is enclosed herewith, the Sec
rotary Of the Interior il authorized to
withdraw lands, pending survey and
examination. The lands can be entered
under the Homestead Act only, subject
to certain restrictions as to payment OF
cost of water to be used in reclamation,
size Of entry, etc. 1t has been ruled
under the wording OF the law that
homestead entrymen "a make a filing
upon 100 acres, but that later this
amount can be cut down to 40 or more
acres, according to the discretion of the
Secretary.
In the case OF Nevada large areas OF
Of land have been withdrawn, surveys
and examinations instituted, the gem
eral feasibility of the projects ascer-
tanned, and certain details worked out.
II has not, however, been considered
wise TO delay construction until every
detail has been thoroughly ascertained,
and hence what may be termed a pre-
liminary or partial contract has been let
for the feeder canal from the Truckee
River TO the lower Carson reservoir,
work upon which is now progressing.
The surveys and examinations have
not yet progressed TO a point where it Is
possible to ascertain the actual lands 10
be irrigated or the size of the home
steads. When this is known the fact
will be made public and entry will be
invited. Pending the determination Of
these facts, homestead entrymen can
make entries subject tc the provisions OF
the laws and to the charges which the
Secretary may make at a later date.
That is to say, a man may enter upon
100 acres, bnt when the plans are finally
made this may be reduced to 10 acres.
Before title can be secured he must, OF
~en,,rse, pay for the water and comply
with other requirements not yet stated.
1t is a matter of regret hat il is inn
possible not to make all of the plans
complete at the outset, but we are con-
fronted with two alternatives-one Of
delaying work Indefinitely, the other of
beginning 1t In part and determining
details later ON. 1t is impossible to pre-
vent people making homestead entries
at their own risk, but if they wish to
do so we al only warn them they are
taking certain risks. Whether these
homestead entrymen can ultimately
obtain title or not cannot be decided
until further progress is made.
Very respectfully,
II. G. RIzER,
Acting Director.

OUR CRIMINAL HISTORY

A glance into the criminal his
tory of this state reveals an
appalling state of affairs. Be-
hind the prison bars we find the
man of whom necessity has
made a thief, and he whose free
dom and citizenship were sworn
away by some illiterate red dew
II, outcasts, friendless and alone.
No friends have they to exert in
f~1uence for their pardon. They
must serve their full time and
after gaining their liberty must
consent to be the objects of ridi-
cule and a target for the slang
of the small boys. The furies of
hell be unto him who commits
the objectionable offense of sell
ing liquor to ar Indian or steal
ing a sack o. f1our! Don't brush
him on the street or stand in his
company. His presence is con-
terminating. Teach your off
spring to shun the children of
such a man, and do not chastise
them if they point their fingers
in the faces of these innocents
and tell them that their father
was so and so.
What of him whose crime is
measured by the life's blood of
another? Hang him? No!
Have pity on him. He is not so
bad after all. Society is full of
such as he. Even though he
robbed a mother and her chill
dren of their only support, they
can manage to get along for a
time and when the children have
grown up they can care for their
mother. It's no disgrace for
them to slush in the kitchen of
some arrogant aristocrat.
Pity him Thus seems the
law. Sentence him to life inn
prisonment-his friends will do
the rest. He has plenty of them.
1t is but the matter of a few
years when he will be out again
amongst us, to become, perhaps,
a leader in society. Pat him on
the shoulder and encourage him
along, just in proportion to his
cowardly, cruel, premeditated
taking of life. Let the deed as
well as the dead be forgotten.
They are better off. It's no
harm to kill a man.
Withal, there should be no
hanging. Capital punishment is
a relic of barbarism. 1t should
be enough that the memory of
q cold-blooded murderer's deed
haunts him and he is yet to be
judged before men.

Wayne county now pays State
taxes sll, 1855 25.
Wayne county will pay under the
new law, State taxes S2,456.24.
Wayne county saves annually by

TAX PAYERS OF WAYNE COUNTY.
Ihe following statement will show
the voters of Wayne county the
saving III money To them under the
new tax laws. This statement il
baseed on the levy for the year 9o3,
and any tax payer can verify these
hgures 10y going to the sheriff's office
STATEMENT.
The total valuation for real and
personal property for Wayne county
tor 1903, was SO, ,2l2, ,4SS 90.
On this value the taxes for that
year on real aud personal properly
paid To State at 35 cents on the 500
amounted to 81 ,265.25.
The taxes on the same basis Tor
1907, when the State tax will be
reduced from 35 cents to 5 cents
which will be devoted to school
purposes will be $1,000, -.
Additional expenses imposed on
the county by the NV laws, provid-
ing that $50 be paid for each inmate
in the West Virginia Asylum and
Reform school and $500, liberal
estimate on jaIler fees, now borne
by the county, will amount to
$3.50 90
The annual saving to this county
will amount to the di ference between
81 ,265 20 taxes for 1903 and 81.
456. "a taxes for 1907, $1,000 OF
This calculation applies as we'll to
any other year for the last five years
AS to the year 1908, because the
taxes collected in Wayne county for
the last five years for all purposes
have been practically the same for
each year. No difference wba peo-
pie may claim the valuation of prof.
erty may be under the new law, n,
more taxes wall he necessary to be
collected or expe nded than is now be-
ing collected aud expended for coun
", school and 9th rdistrict purposes.
1t no additional expenses are nece
can see that no additional amoun'
siry all OF t.xcs will bo needed, a, d
that regardless of any valuation
which might be placed on property
the county, school and other district
taxes which will have to be paid by
: ach citizen will remain the same.

ENLARGED AND IMPROVED.
Handsome Banking Rooms or Nation

4 Handsome Banking Rooms of National
 New Haven Bank.
 The National New Haven bank yes terday reoccupied it's main banking room, which has been elegantly improE- ed and equipped during the past few months, during which time the busi- ness quarters were in the rear, in the English building, which the bank bought in order to obtain sufficient room for it's increased business. The newly rebuilt and redeeorated main banking room is much lighter than be- fore. as the light from the Orange street windows now falls directly upon the desks of the cashier, teller and the desks of other employees, the coun- ters and desks being on the east side of the banking room instead of on the west as hitherto. The walls, flooring, iron work on outside of windows. and the ceilings are all up to date in style and finish, and are very handsome.
 The main banking room is finished in mahogany and plate and ground glass with electric lights and all of the mod ern conyeniences which go to make up an elegantly furnished banking apart ment.
 The bank officers will now put the rear of the bank in shape for the di- rectors room.
 In its rebuilding and refurnishing work the bank has made very suc- cessful as well as Judicious outlay, and it now has one of the most comfortable and elegant banking houses in the state.
 A fine new vault has been placed in the bank.
