portion of an extra crop, which
would thus be assured, would
more than pay the assessments in
one season.
There are a few who are skepti-
cal about the government propo-
sition. They think it unfair to
have to turn over to the govern
ment their water rights which
have cost them considerable mon
ey. But, do they stop to consider
that right now they are being COM
PEELED to fight for that water right
in the Courts? Do they stop to
consider that today they are un-
decided whether to put in. full
crops for fear there will be a
water shortage next Fall, while
with storage system there would
be no shortage and they could till
their land to the full extent of 100
acres and take advantage of the
booming markets in the southern
Icountry9 Do they stop to con-
slider that with storage system as
proposed by the government they
would have better title to water
than they ever had before, and
which could not by questioned?
1t has been stated that Miller &
Lux in their suit are asking for all
the water in Walker River, and
cannot possibly win their suit or
get what they are contending for.
We are not denying any of these
statements, but what is it going to
cost you, Mr.. Farmer, to continue
the suit and prove your assertions?
Won't it cost you more than 81 per
acre per year for over FIVE years
yes, or for over twenty-five years!
Will you have any more watef at
the end of the season if you win
the suit and every point is decided
in your favor?
The government is not demand
ing that you accept this PROPOSE
ton. 1t is not breaking its neck
to spend that 100000 on the
Walker River. II has been hard
work to get the government to
grant this much, and if IT is not
accepted there are a hundred more
places where it can and will be
juciciously used to make homes
for those seeking them, and it will
be long time before the govern
ment will again agree to do any
thing in this section.
Below is copy of the petition
which has been drawn for circu-
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1905-04-01

The people of this valley, Smith
Valley and all that portion of the
Walker River basin nc er
cultivation and irrigated, have had
placed before them a proposition
by the government to store water
sufficient for the irrigation of such
land during the entire irrigation
season of each year. This propo-
sition has been made because the
people of these vallies, to the ex-
tent of 90 per cent. of them,
signed the petition asking the
government to aid them, and it
has been through the urgent
solicitation of the friends of this
section that the Secretary of the
Interior has consented to have set
aside $500, 900 of the national irri-
CATION fund for immediate use in
this work. To L. H. Taylor, more
than any other individual, is due
the action taken by the Secretary
of the Interior. He went to
Washington and placed the matter
before the Secretary and present
ed the petition of the people OF
the Walker River basin. Mr.. Tay-
lor has fully explained what will
be required of the land owners
and water users of this community
to secure the aid of the govern
ment for temporary relief. The
government has made it con-
dition that no person shall receive
water for more than 100 acres OF
land-that is, land under cultiva-
ton. There is nothing in the
Reclamation Act, however, which
will prevent an owner of $40 acres
of land from deciding to his wife
100 acres and 100 acres each to
two of his children, or other mem
bers of his family, provided the
deed is absolute. The $2oo,ooc
which it Is proposed to put into
construction work for this tempo
rary irrigation scheme must be
paid back in FIVE or ten years. 1t
is estimated that there now 49,
900 to $4,000 acres of land under
| irrigation in this basin, so that II
the money was paid back in five
wears it would only be an assess
ment of about 81 per acre pei
wear on the land, or if the time
ran to ten years it would make the
assessment about soc per acre per
wear. With the assurance OF
water the year round this assess
ment is a mere bagatelle. A small

lation for signatures. We would
urge every farmer to sign it. We
are in a position to state that if
90 per cent. will sign it that Miller
& Lux will do the same thing;
that in all probability T. B. Hickey
will add his signature; that all
suits will be dismissed, and your
property will doubled, if not
trebled, in value in thirty days
attire the government begins con-
struction work, which will not be
later than next September if you
hurry matters along by signing.
PETITION.
We, the undersigned owners of
cultivated land, lying along the
Walker River in the States of Ne
vada and California, being DESTROYS
of securing the allotment by the
Secretary of the Interior of the
United States of the sum of Two
Hundred Thousand ($2oo,ooo.oo)
Dollars out of the Reclamation
Fund to store water in the Walk
er River Basin, sufficient to fur
nish the lands now cultivated in
the valleys of the Walker River
with an ample supply of water, in
consideration of the mutual cove
nants and undertakings herein
set out, agree to form and enter
into an association under the pro-
visions of the Reclamation Act for
the purpose of dealing with the
United States and for the other
purposes hereinafter set out
The said proposed association
shall bind all its members, owners
of cultivated land in the Walker
River valleys to return to the Rec
lamation Fund the cost of said i'm.
provements in ten annual install
ments, provided, that the said in
stallments may be FIVE in number
at the option of said members.
Said association shall also be fol
the purpose of and shall furnish
all necessary rights of way to the
United States free of cost.
Said association shall be formed
pursuant to and in accord with the
Reclamation Act and other law:
of the United States, the laws o.
the State of Nevada and the appro
val of the Secretary of the In
terror of the United States.
We also further agree that al
rights of water and all dams anC
bitches for the diversion of water
from Walker River and its tribu
taries held by us as members o
the proposed association shall be
conveyed to the United States fol
use according to the provisions o
the Reclamation Act.
But it is understood that thi.
agreement shall be binding on the
parties hereto only in the event
that Miller & Lux and Thomas B
Hickey enter into the same, tina
all litigation now pending bt
terminated and that the United
States actually contracts with the
proposed association for the pur
poses hereinbefore set out.

CARNEGIE DECLINED TITLE,
Refused Baronetcy Rendered by King Edward Through Loyalty
 to America.

I.ondon.-It has just been learned tha, a baronetcy and peerage were offered fo Andrew Carnegie on the occasion of his visit here last summer. This is se- rret which the iron king has kept we'll He is a close friend of Lord Rosebery and Si- Henry Campbell-Bannerma
 They are both Sootchmen. and when in power proposed that he become citi- zen of Scotland and revive the glories of the old clan. Mir. Carnegie declined the honor. declaring that while he loved Scotland. America had been good mother to him and he would not desert her. Several of the Scottish universities have done him an honor. as have minor bodies elsewhere in Great Britain.
 Andrew Carnegie's descent is traced lack to the great Carnegie clan which held all the land in kincardenshire and Forfarshire prior to the fourteenth cen. tury. The Carnesies fought for ths thistle against the rose in all the wars. and when Scotland was defeated the king of England seized their lands and gave them away.
 The present King is tesirous of reme- dying the injustice and giving Andrew Carnegie all the honors possible as chief tain of the ancient clan. as he is wealthy enough to revive its elories

PERTAINING TO THE DAIRY.

Milk is composed of several elements. chief of which are milk, sugar. casein and butterfat.
 Sell the regular customers only the finest quality of butter and the trade will not only continue, but increase.
 Under no circumstances will it pay to keep COW which is not large milker and butter maker.-American Dairy man.
 Arrange the approach to the stable door so the COWS will not slip in going in or coming out. It will cost less than to lose one of your best COWS.
 good steady churning is better than to churn at too rapid a rate, whatever he the shape of the churn. Too mucn haste leaves butter in the milk.
 Keep cows comfortable, quiet and busy eating and drinking materials to be converted into milk. An idle or ex- cited COW will not render satisfactory re- turns-American Dairyman.
 When buying COWS for dairy herds it is a good plan to determine the amount of milk given by weight. A COW that gives ''paiIful' night and morning may be a very poor dairy animal.

BIRTH OF THE SOIL.
A Brief Study in Geology-The Pro- cesses of Nature Are Ex-
 plained.

The soils that form our farms were once part of solid rock that covered the earth There was time when there was not spoonful of soil on the whole earth. The earth. as it cooled from it's molten state, formed a great shell of rock. In time the gases set tied over it, condensed and formed water, which covered all. The water had a tendency to cool and the heat on different parts of the earth varied. The internal heat made elevations here and depressions there. and the first ledge rose above the flood. Then the formation of soil began. The bil- lows of the sea beat on the ledge and the airs of heaven began to blow upon it. Particles infinitely small were broken from the parent rock and be- came soil. Since that time ages have passed, but the process of soil form ing goes on wherever the ledge is not covered by water On our farms now the lodges are still giving off minute particles yearly, aided in some local ities by the frosts, which freeze the minute particles 0! rain and use them as wedges to chip off the particles of rock This not only adds to the bulk of the soil but adds to it some of the fertility locked up in the rock, says the Farmers Review. In nature noth- ing is lost and nothing created. Change is the ore law. All matter, whatever it's form. is the same mat ter. appearing to us in innumerable | combinat ations.

NAUGATUCK NUGGETS.

Last night the Naugatuck Athletic club basketball team ran up against their hardest proposition of the season and were obliged to suffer defeat to tbc tune of 27 to 9. The Delphi Ath- letic club team of Hartford did the trick. The local boys played hard game. but their work last night was far short of what they did in some ofh- CT games. Hard luck also seemed to follow tha locals last night, for time and again did the ball roll around the rim of thc basket and fall off. and then too, not one of the local players could throw q basket on q foul. It was this combination. hard luck and fast team as their opponents, that made the locals bite the dust. The. visitors played a great game and they certainly have d great quintet of baS- kctball players. It is hoped another game can he arranged between the teams The following was the line up:
