THEFTS
HAVE BEEN PRACTICED FOR SEW
ERAL MONTHS
Government Loses Many Valuable Ar
ticles-Guilty Parties Are Arrested

Uncle Sam is very liberal individual
and the reclamation law is one of his
most benefieent acts, but three of his
homesteaders who have taken adyan-
tage of the free lands of this project
have come to grief through skating on
thin ice, and with absolute proof of their
guilt as thieves, they stand stand today
IN the shadow of the penitentary with
their only hopes based upon merciful
court.
Last winter, Albert J. Emery, former
railway brakeman, filed on a piece of
land in Section IL, Township Is, Range
20, before the local United States Com
missioner. He was joined by another
brother, who was formerly employed as
a brakeman on the Hazen-Mina run.
About a week ago, still third brother
filed on farm unit adjoining those of
his brothers, and the plan put into
practice by the trio to develop their res
pective places is at once novel. and
unique.
During the entire summer and fall the
government authorities have been losing
large quantities OF lumber, doors, win
dows, paints, tools, posts and grain,
and the utter inability of the officials
to locate the thieves lei the reclama-
ton authorities to believe that an or
ganized band of thieves were plying
their nefarious vocation on the chattels
Of Uncle Sam, but nothing was said or
done, other than to put Sheriff Shirley
In touch with the situation. This enter
prising and capable official commenced
work upon the case several weeks ago,
and covered the entire county, in hopes
oil locating some of the stolen goods.
He did not succeed however in getting a
trace that would lead to the apprehen-
sion OF the guilty parties entil few
days ago, when he commenced taacking

vile, where several hundred dollars

One good thing that has come out of
Massachusetts this early in the session,
is the bill just introduced by Senator
Lodge for uniform child labor laws.
With the growth of factory business in
the country, this is becoming annually
more pressing problem, and one that
vitally affec is the health and well be-
ing Of the community. Massachusetts,
has uhquestionably a yeIy good set of
child labor statutes and the most Of the
states could do much worse than follow
her example. The method by which it
is proposed to reach the matter from
Washington is to follow the line OF the
meat and pure food laws and prohibit
the transportation in interstate com
merce of any goods made in factory
where labor under the prohibited age
is employed. This would strike i'm
mediately at the root OF the matter and
would be good thing for all maDuiae-
turers, whether disposed to be Just and
fair, or not.

A New Bank for FallOn

r. L. Douglass and l. II. Kent left yes
terday for Fairview, where they will con-
fer with Joe Jarvis, of the Fairsiew
firm of Douglass 4 Jarvis, in regards to
the practicability of merging the Bank
of Fairview with similar institution
in this place, which Messrsr. Douglass
& Kent have been working upon for
Fallon for some past.
1t is planned to make the bank a pri-
vate one, backed by the entire financial
interests of Messrs. Douglass, Jarvis
and Kent, and Mr.. Douglass hopes to
have modern building completed soon
upon the lots now occupied by Beaeh's
Corner store and Dir. J. 7. Rees' drug
store, in which will be housed the bank,
with which they are preparing to invade
the local field.
Thomas Woodliff, the Virginia City
capitalist, who is partner with Mr..
Douglass in the ownership of the lots,
will be in Fallon Within the next few
days, at which time the matter of erect
ing a modern business building of brick
and stone with frontage on Main
street OF 81 feet, will be taken unler
consideration.
With the advent OF the new
bank into the local field, Fallon
will be the proud possessor of two
banks, the stability OF which will be un.
surpassed. Already, We have the
Churchill County Bank, an institution
of which a community several times
our size might well feel proud. Al
though the Churchill County Bank has
been in existence only since last spring,
the deposits have run up well past the
two hundred Thousand mark, and are
rapidly growing. The management is
composed of active local capitalists, for
the most part, whose business integrity
and standing will always be safeguard
in which the public will have the ut
most confidence.

been taken from point, where it had
been placed for the erection of ditch
tenders cottage. Following the tracks,
he found they led by way OF Rattlesnake
hill, where stop was made at the w.
A. keddie camp, and number of tools
taken. Owing to the fact that the driv-
ing had been done under cover of dark
ness, the wagon tracks were somewhat
irregular, and this phenomena allowed
of the tracking of the wagon to the
homesteads of the Emery brothers,
where the sheriffs trained eve at once
saw that the majority of the missing ar
tieles had been neatly worked into a
cottage, barn and other outbuildings,
including blacksmith shop, which had
been equipped entirely from tools stolen
from government camps.
Coming back to this place, the war
rant was sworn to by the reclamation Of
ticials, and taking his deputy, J. w.
Sitton, with him, he went out yesterday
and made arrests of Albert j. and J. b.
Emery, one brother being in Fairview,
where he will be placed under arrest
within a short time.
When arrested the boys took the mat.
ter very coolly, the elder brother de-
ploring the fact that his kid brother"
had been caught in the meshes Of the
law, and stated that he had been under
arrest before.
The articles stolen from the govern
ment camps a great deal more than con-
stitute enough value to make the charge
against the guilty boys that Of grand lar
ceny, and while Uncle Sam freely gave
them homesteads, tits hardly likely that
he can be persuaded that he should also
furnish the necessary material for cot
tages, barns, blacksmith shops, etc,
and as he is a very relentless prosecu-
tor, it does not seem likely that the En-
cry boys can escape the penitentiary.

RECLAMATION SERVICE FRIENDLY TO PRl-

In commenting upon the fact that the
National Government is not antagon-
lzlng legitimate private irrigation devel-
opment, but that, on the other hand
the Reclamation Service is favorable to
1t and even willing to assist, Engineer
Arthur P. Davis, who is Chief Engineer
IN NewelPs absence, was found in charge
OF the Bureau at Washington, mentioned
the case of the Wenatchee Valley as
somewhat exceptional.
Many small companies" he said
haze accomplished much good in
transforming the great American Desert
into profitable and habtable farms. \
very valuable object lesson ofan instance
where private influence has stepped in
and reclaimed land which was formerly
waste may be found in the Wenatchee
valley. This is not community con-
sisting of hundreds of thousands Of
acres; it is comparatively small area,
but every bit of it is extensively cult
waited, wrestling from Mother Earth
every particle of plant life which the
land can be made to give up. The
Wenatchee Valley land, before the irri-
CATION company stepped in, had might
say, no value. 1t was but the home OF
a few wild animals, with little or no
semblance of plant life. Under the
wise administration of the company. the
tract has enormously increased in value.
The climate is ideal no icy winds come
into the valley to injure crops before
maturity, and the soil which had been
reeking in fertility for centuries, only
needed the kind touch of water to make
blossom and bring forth fruit. We have
considered the settlement of the Wen
atchee Valley so ideal that it has been
taken as an example after which to
pattern the 0kanogan project, in Wash
ington, now under consideration by the
Reclamation Service"

C. w. KINNEY
DISCOVERS GAS

Charles Kinney, the mining man ar
rived in Fallon Monday from a point
said to be in the Sand Springs country,
after having passed through an intensely
novel and interesting experience. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Kinney's story, a well

and when the man whom he had hired
to do the digging had reached Il depth
OF about twenty feet he encountered
natural gas in such quantities that he
was forced to abandon the work, and
after being helped to the surface, be-
came quite sick, and did not get relief
from the nauseating gases for several
hours. In the meantime, Mr.. Kinney
had produced an augur which he in
yoked with the result that the vein of
natural gas was tapped.
So highly charged is the strata en-
countered, with gases that q lighted

some very fine samples OF natural as

THE WEEKS TALK
 IN NEW YORK CITY How Colonel Mann Got ThouS-
 andS from the Rich HIS "RECIPROCITY SYSTEM It Meant Give Up and You Won't Be Roasted-Final Break Between
 Mcclellan and Murphy.
 Other Gossip.
HIS RECIPROCITY" SYSTEM
BY sEWELL HAccARp.

New York, January 27-(speeiaL)-A distinguished writer of this city has called Col. William dAlton Mann, the editor of Town Topics, the reat-granddaddy of all the blaekmailers. The writer had refer enee to the methods by which the Colonel has transferred hundreds of thousands of dollars from the bank accounts of the millonaires of New York to his own. The writer has not chosen his words well. He has done put poor honor to the greatest genius of his class. Future historians will probably describe the Col onel like this:
 Colonel William dAlton Mama small d before his middle name if you please the Colonel sometimes used big D's' but never before his middle name-was the greatest apostle of reciprocity of his age For many years in the cafes and other gathering places of the distinguished members of his craft 1t was the favorite expression that nobody in this town has a chance to do anybody now but our old Mann It was a common sight to see William s. Devery Miller, the five hundred and twenty per cent syndicate promoter, and others who had sunk into oblivion with the rise of the Colonel take  off their hats and bow abjectly before him as he passed by"
 The writer who calls this great disciple of reciprocity a blackmailer not only out rages the fellings of those who have re- ciprocated but cruelty humiliates the Col onel himself. The "reciprocators" resent the imputation that they have allowed themselves to be the victims of a sordld blaekmailer and the Colonel, no doubt, feels that his gentlemanly and artistic methods have been slanderously charac- terized It was no crime to reciprocate when the Colonel came around preaching the doctrine of reciprocity. The Colonels hosts would have been guilty of fia- grant breach of etiquette if they had de- nied him. It was but the tribute that those fortunately well off in the good things of the world pay to those men of genius whose coffers have been neglected for other and nobler pursuits

go-between. Mir. McClellan at last tired even of this and sent word to the Tam many chief that he desired to receive no further messages from him either oral or written. There is nothing surprising in the break between the two men. It has been expected ever since January when the Mayor announced his appoint- ments. All of MT. Murphys friends were turned down and MT. Mcclellan had even dared select his cabinet without consulting the Boss. something urheard of in Tammany politics. While Murphy put it up to Mcclellan to take the ini- tiatiye no one doubts that he desired an open rupture. He is a spoilsman and when he saw that no more patronage was forthcoming from Mcclellan of course he had no further use for him.
 But when Murphy forced the split with the Mayor it is doubtful if he realized fully the seriousness of what he had done. He probably did not dream that an at tempt would be made to get the leader ship of Tammany hall away from him, but that is what it means. Mcclellan is laying his plans now to oust Murphy in the fall after the primaries for the cleo ton of district leaders Is held. He ex- poets to capture enough leaders to enable him to put a man at the head of the organization who will represent his in terests.
 A boom has already been started for John F. O'Brien, formerly a newspaper man. who was Mayor McClellan's private secretary for two years. At the begin ming of his new term the Mayor made O Brien fire commissioner If O'Brien does get the reins there will be an up- heaval in Tammany. While every one will recognize that Mcclellan is the lead CT in fact the old guard will hardly recog- nize a man even as a figurehead who has lived in this city only three years.

Isolation in New York.

Continuing, Mrs. Betts said:
 "A years residence in an Italian tene- ment in New York taught me first of all the isolation of a foreign quarter-how completely cut off one may be from everything that makes New York New York. The neeessaries of life can be bought without leaving the square in which is your home. I found less and less reason for crossing this boundary as the circle of my interest widened with in it.
 Here was Mrs. Tanno, an old woman probably over 80 years of age, who had lived years in this Mott street tenement; been mother to four children of her own and nine grandchildren who lived with her of the fourteen her children had borne. Apparently she was happy, In spite of her asthma, which had kept her indoors for most of the two years she had been ill-even though Mott street is far from being the country The children went to the industrial school few steps away. and spoke English but the old grand mother who had been in this country before some of them existed, not a word of it. The only wish she expressed to the nurse was for some medicine to cure her asthma"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-01-28
Advanced Reciprocity.

The Coloners de6nltion of reciprocity may differ from that of the cold, unro- mantle Photographers of the day, but what of that? Even the makers of dic- tionaries have been accused of being slow Should Col. William d'Alton Mann be maligned because these drones have fallen behind the procession? William S. Dev- cry, the famous world tinkerer has more to his credit than the mere transforma- tion of one word of three syllables; so why should not the venerable editor of Town Topics be permitted to put at least one such notch on his gun?
 According to the Standard Dictionary, reciprocity means "the state of being re- ciprocal or that which is reciprocal, es- pecially in obligation or right; equal mu- tual rights and benefits granted and en- Joyed; mutual equality of rights and ben ehts; interchange of action or relation"
 So the Colonel was not far wrong He had information at his command at all times that would not look well in print to the persons concerned. The Colonel was always gracious in offering to sup press this matter provided the "recipi- ents' of the benefits would 'reeiprocate" By "reciprocate" the Colonel meant a subscription to the stock of his paper, or to his book of 'Fads and Fances," or perhaps fat advertising contract would do. If the recipients" were not disposed to invest in any of these personal loan to the Colonel was always acceptable Surely this was only equal mutual rights and benefits granted and enjoyed" The ''reciprocators' enjoyed the benefits of keeping the closet door locked on the fam fly skeleton. And the Colonels benefits? Why he could buy a nice summer home for Mrs. Mann and the children, an auto mobile for them to go shopping in and as for his personal wants, he occasionally took a trip to Europe, paying $lO00 for his suite on the steamship. When the Colonel was not enjoying himself he was picking up information, for as a disci- pie of advanced reciprocity, he found it valuable to know something about all people and extremely profitable to know all about some people,
