mention be made of one who in tn

Monsignor Buh is one of tine mos

70 years of agc--has been in a larg

where the Cathedral now stands. He

AUTO TO BULLFR0G.
Road Established and Fee for Trav-
ell Fixed.

Manager A. D. Nash of the Tono-
pah and Goldfeld Auto Company, has
returned from a trip to Bullfrog,
where he superintended the building
of an automobile road from Goldfield
to Bnllfrog, a distance of faty-eiGht
miles.
The grading is completed, and the
road is niDe feet wide while the great
est grade is 4 per cent. 1t will re-
quire twelve days more to smooth
the track and put it in readiness fer
traffic.
There are now fifteen heavy tour
ing cars in use by the company and
another shipment on the road. The
time made between Tonopsh and Bull
frog, via Columbia, Gold6eld, Dia-
mondlield and Thorpe's mill, will he
six hours for the eighty-three and
ive-eights miles. The fare will be
$3l or $29 from Goldheld.
Mr.. Nash says that at Thorpe's mill
where the company will have relay
station there is great activity in pros
pecting and some good strikes are
b4ing made. In addition to the relay
OF machines to be used in case of
breakdowns, the chaulfeurs will each
carry the necessary mechanism for
tapping the telephone wires along
the line and help can be had without

After the contests the visitors
were called upon for short speeches.
Senator Pitt was the first to respond
expressing himself as highly pleased
with the evenings entertainment and
the work of the club, and promising
the boys the support of himself and
in behalf of the school board, aid in
every way possible to make the work

observed by the people according to
the provisions of the law, ky the

exercises and cermonies in the public
schools; PROVIDED, that no:hing

This day should be observed by our
people with the laudable ambition of
making our homes, public grounds
and highways more beautiful and at
tractive, not only for our own com
fort and happiness, but also to give
pleasure to others. Trees, shrubs
and flowers are certainly to be con-
sidered emblems of culture and re-
fnement and a source of pleasure and
joy to old and young. Nevada has
considered a barren waste of noun
tain and desert, but with a little ef-
fort our homes may be made beauti-
full, and when the stranger goes to
other and more favored conditions
than ours, he may at least carry in
memory the scenes of many comfort
able and happy homes in contrast to
the formerly monotoncus scenery of

With ,Ahe present prospects for a

at all amiss. ''Our Uucle Samuel

his wonders to perform. One of the
wonders which "Our Uncle Samuel" is
performing at the present time is the
transformation of the arid West from
desert waste to fertile fields.
The people of this valley have been
amply assured of the Goverpment's
intention to reclaim every foot of
available land in the Humboldt valley
and especially in the Lower Humboldt
For the past three years different
corps of engineers have been work
ing from the mouth to the nppermost
source of the Humboldt; measuring
lis flow at different seasons of the
year; they have surveyed storage res
ervoir sites; measured the snowfall in
the mountains from which this river
receives the melting SHOWS; and, in
fact, hage secured all the data neces-
s4ry to estimate how much more land
than at present can be irrigated from
this stream, by proper storage and
conservation. 1t is estinated that

accomplished in bringing the waters
of the Truckee here.~ But do you
think for minute that the govern
ment would have carried the work as
far as it has without knowing that it
could be successfully and profitably
completed? No, our Uncle Samuel
has studied the proposition thoroughly
and knows what he is doing, and we
rely upon his judgment.
If yon will go and stand at the flood
gates of the Big Five reservoir below
Town and see that stream of water
40 feet wiee and from one to three
feet deep going over that dam during
many months of tine year; then you
can realize something of what could
be done with storage reservoirs at
different points along down the valley
During the course of II months
enough water goes to waste over this
dam to irrigate, if pronerly stored
and distributed, every uncultivated foot
of land between the shore lines of the
Humboldt valley from Ryepatch to
the margin of the lake.
1t is in this great work of storage
that the govenment's ofices will be
most efficient. Several practical stor-
age schemes have been started, hrt
there has alwayg arisen some point
upon which interested parties could
not agree; so the enterprise died a
bornin.
In taking hold of this great work,
about the first thing the government
requires is that the preaent owners of
water rights relinquish their holdings
to it, to receive an equivalent supply
from the completed government ditch
