WHILE in Reno the first of this
week the writer learned that in all
probability the government would
intervene in the case of Miller &
Lux against the large number of
farmers in this valley. This action
has beenl decided on for the reason
that the government owns consid-
cradle land in the lower end of the
valley-the Walker Lake Indian
Reservation-and intends to see
that its wards have water for the
land. 1t is to be hoped that the
government will get into this case
as it will mean that Uncle Sam
will then have to carry the thing
through to a termination where
water can be secured for all, and
this will mean a government stor-
aae proposition, large canals on
each side of the valley, a network
of laterals, and thorough system
of irrigation which will put every
foot of one hundred thousand
acres of splendid land under cult
walton in this valley. 1t may be a
few years in coming, but Mason
Valley is destined to eventually
become one of the richest and
most thickly populated agricultural
sections in the State of Nevada.

PROBABLY the greatest catastro-
phe that has happened in this
country in this century happened
in Chicago on the goth of last
month. At matinee in the Iro-
quois theatre, with thirteen hun
bred people in the audience, a
small blaze broke out on the stage.
The audience became panic strick-
en- and rushed for the outlets. In
a few moments the flames ignited
a gas tank and there was a terrific
explosion, a sea of flame shot out
over the terrified crowd, and the
panic stricken people became
more terrified and frantic in their
endeavors to escape. The flames
were soon extinguished and it
was later found that nearly six
hundred people, mostly women
and children, had lost their lives.
Many had been burned by the
flame of gas, others had been as
phixiated and many trampled to
death. The building, which was
fireproof one, was found to be
practically unframed by fire, the
damage being mostly all done by
the explosion.

IT IS quite probable that at last
one of the greatest inventions of
the age has been perfected-one
which the inventors have been
working upon for many years.
Last week Thomas Edison demon
strated that he had constructed a
storage battery which will, with
out doubt, revolutionize things in
the way of electric motive power.
A test of one of the batteries used
on an automobile recently showed
that after the machine had been
run over FIVE hundred miles there
was hardly noticeable deprecia-
ton of energy. 1t is believed
that all users of small power will
rapidly adopt the new method as
it rs said to be simple in construc-
tion, light and cheap, and easily
handled by the most inexperi-
enced.

PUBLICITY FOR TRUSTS.

ne O1SCiOSuIcS III ICSdlu W
Juggling the accounts of the Beth
lehem Steel Company are merely
a continuation of the story in the
same vein of the shipbuilding
trust. There does not seem to
have been an honest thought in
the minds of its promoters from
beginning to end. There has
been a studied effort to unload the
responsibility for the dirty work
on one John W. Young, who, as
stated by Mr.. Alexander to the
Paris underwriters, was "only such
a promoter as Mr.. Morgan con-
stantly employees" Very likely;
but while Mr.. Young was doubt
les INSCRIPTIONS enough, the
meanness of his employers in try
ing to make their agent the scape-
goat is almost beyond comprehen-
sion. One of the worst juggles
was in respect to the Bethlehem
Company, which, with the Union
Iron Works, were the only solvent
concerns in the combine" The
earnings of these two corporations
could pay interest on the total
bonds issued, and bonds were sold
on that basis. The Morgan
Schwab party, however, so manip-
ulated the alleged sale that they
retained all the powers of owner
ship and disposed of the earnings
in such a way that they were not
available for dividends but were
employed to increase the value of
the property itself, on which the
conspirators held mortgage. The
details of this conversion have
been pretty thoroughly brought
out by the evidence in the suit.
AS the public comes to get a
better understanding of the meth
DDS of these freeboOters, there is
no longer any wonder that the
high priests of Doodle are bitterly
opposed to the denomination of
President Roosevelt, who is so
firmly committed to the theory of
publicity" in corporate affairs.
The theory itself is bad enough
from their standpoint, but the
thought of President who will
actually enforce it is uncomfortable.
Here is man who has got Cong
ress to enact a law giving him
power to find out everything
which trust promoters do and say,
with absolute discretion as to what
he shall keep to himself and what
he shall tell the public. Worse
than that, his character and rec
ord prove that whatever he finds
out that the public ought to know
will be promptly communicated to
the public. But as publicity is
utterly destructive to such fnan-
cial highbinding as has accompa-
MED this trust promotion, the high
binders are desperate and have
turned loose their hatchet-men to
make an end of President Roose-
welt. But the President will win,
and publicity will wins. F.

year ago. There are $500 miles of new

to begin work during the year.. A year
ago there were $500 miles reported under
contract, a little over SIS per cent OF
which. or 5,786 miles, were completed dur
