Crop Dried Up.

A farmer in the lower end of
Mason Valley was complaining to US
few days ago that his crop OF
garden truck, from which he expect
ed to realize tidy sum by sale in
Tonopah and Goldtield, had been en-
tirely ruined by drying up, there be-
ing no water in his ditch with
which to irrigate it. On this mans
ranch an almost 1nexhaustible sup
ply of water can be obtained at a
depth of from six to ten feet. A
small gasoline engine and Gen.
trifugal pump would have saved
this valuable crop for him and as
surred him a crop in each future
year, and the plant would not cost
him over half what he could make
on a FIVE acre tract in one season.

Bunk" Thomas, while in swim
ming near the Spragg dam last Sun
day afternoon with a number of
others, dove off the dam into deep
pool and failed to come up. Charlie
Hilbun and Floyd Tillery dove after
him and found him lying limp on the
bed of the river. They brought the
body up and summoned a physician
at once, who after some exertion got
the water out of Thomas and the
breath of life into him again, and
in q short time he was as good as
new. Bunk declares he will never
take a bath in the river again I'M
less he is duly sober.

Studying Water Conditions In Mason Valley.

The Department of Agriculture il
studying the application OF water
to land on the Walker River. This
work is part of general study OF
methods of irrigation and drainage
made in the arid States by the De-
partment OF Agriculture under
dward Mead. The object OF the
work in Mason Valley is TO deter
mine the quantity of water required
and used for different crops in
various parts of the valley, to find
the actual loss caused by shortage
of water, and to experiment on
similar pieces of land with differ
ent Quantities of water. In this way
the minimum quantity of water that
will raise a full crop has been de-
termined in different districts from
California to Colorado, and waste OF
water has been largely discouraged,
thus increasing the area OF land
served by given quantity OF water.
The rise OF ground water due to If
rigation is also studied, as it has a
direct bearing on the quantity OF
water that must be applied, to the
rise of alkah and to the cost and
feasibility of pumping for irrigation.
1t is proposed, next year, to select
lew VI < ram anu a
where conditions admit of accurate
measurements, and keep records of
all water used. Many ranchers
have expressed Willingness to aid
this work, even to the extent of ap-
plying too little or too much water
to certain fields, or lands so as to de-
termine the relative results in the
crop produced.
The Irrigation and Drainage In
vestigations have the cooperation
of the State of Nevada through a
generous appropriation for the pur-
pose, and also of the Nevada Ex-
pertinent Station. The interest of
the State is represented by the State
Engineer, and of the Experiment
Station by the Directors and Prof.
Gordan H. True, while the Irriga-
ton x Drainage Investigations are
represented by Albert E. Wright,
who has for a week been in the

water and arranging for next years

mand for tariff revision. My district is
an agricultural one. and the farmers
seem satisfied with the present prosper
Gus condition of the country. / keep in
close touch with my people, and up to
this time I've received not one letter
asking me to work for a revision of the
tariff. And If there were a widespread
demand for this sort of legislation, /
think l should have heard from my dis
trict before now.
In some sections of the country. I
take 1t. judging from what a few papers

what our correspondent urges; how
much it is impossible to say But
In any case his view of the matter is
interesting and, perhaps, instructive.
1t is a matter of growing belief
that, notwithstanding the deliberate
misleading of the press by the Rus
sian ENJOYS, from the time the peace
conference met there was never any
possibility of their falling to con-
clude peace. The terms of the peace
were open to negotiation, it is true,
but peace was inevitable. To the
credit of the astute japanese be it
said they recognized the value to
their country of a magnanimous con-
cession at the proper time-and made
1t. In the future 1t will be known
that Komura towers above Witte in
statecraft and diplomacy as Witte
overtops him IN height and bragga-
docio. When Witte was sent here
the supposition was that he was sent
as the scapegoat of the Grand Ducal
party. They had failed in every
thing they had touched; they expect
ed the peace negotiations to fail
also; either peace or a continuance
Of the war would ruin the envoy who

Money Made Peace.

Count Witte has been protesting
overmuch that all the credit for the
success of the peace negotiations be-
longs to his master, the Car. OF
course everyone knows how the
count wishes his modesty to be con-
strued. But did Witte really control
In these negotiations or was he mere
1y the marionette whose wires were
worked by others than the Car and
the bureaucrats of Russia?
The following excerpts from per-
sonal letter are very suggestive:
Russia has skilled corps of
diplomats; indeed, Russian diplomacy
is noted for its skill and ability, as
well as notorious for its ambidexter-
ity. Did anyone ever hear of Sergius
Witte as a diplomat prior to the re-
mere diplomacy had been the aim of
Russia at Portsmouth she would
never have commissioned Witte to
represent her; what then determined
the choice of Witte as the Russian
representative, and whom and what
did he speak for in the conference?
"Witte is the very ablest financier
Russia has produced in the present
generation. He is in touch not only
with the internal condition of his
own country, but with all the great
bankers and the most powerful
moneyed interests in the world. = .
The bankers had loaned to both Rus
sia and Japan: the sinews of war
had been strained to the utmost;
Russia had been served with notice
from Paris that no more money could
be had for the prosecution Of the
war; the bankers knew that further
loans would lower precipitately the
value of the extant Russian bonds
and. perhaps, produce a panic in
France which would extend round
the world.
"Witte was the only man In Rus

MRS. MACKAY HUSTLES
FOR ROSLYN' SCHOOL
Opens Eyes of Her Colleagues the Board of Trustee:
by Her Energetic Efforts in Behalf of the
Institution.

Mrs Clarence Mackay is making her
colleagues of the Roslyn school board
open their eyes, and is justifying the
predictions of her friends that she would
make things move when she started in.
That the public school of RosIyn will
soon rank in the senior grade" of the
State regents rating will be largely due
to the enthusiasm and earnest effort of
Mrs. Mackay. The proposition to raise
the grade OF the school came up at the
third meeting of the board since Mrs.
Mackay became a member. and she
pledged the others to work with her to
that end.
The meeting was held in the board
room, that was decorated by Mrs. Mac
kay at her own expense, and displays
the feminine taste. In fact, it has a
boudoir effect, done in cream white
with pink. and blue fiowered curtains,
and cloth of a similar design to cover
the couch. the Morris chair, the table,
and the chiffonier.
