COURT HOUSE
HAS NEW FENCE

j. A. Aiken, foreman of the Nevada
L. 5. Fence Company, finished the
work of installing the new ornamental
fence around the court house yard this
week The fence is all and more than
the specifications required. 1t is 1t
beauty, and is the result of home labor.
Mr.. Aiken states that the Nevada / :.
Fence Company is daily enjoying in
creased business prosperity, as a re-
suit OF right prices and good quality.
Their common product is especially
recommended as a field fence, and is
being used more every year 10y the
stockman and farmer The point in
its favor which especiallyrecommends it
to the intelligent user is the fact that
it is constructed entirely of spring steel
wire instead OF the usual soft wire, and
is highly recommended for its STAYING
qualities

NARROW ESCAPE FROM
SERIOUS ACCIDENT

b. K. McCabe and Miss Mabel Simp-
kins returned Monday from Reno,
where they drove last week by team.
ON their return trip they met with an
accident while driving through the
canyon some miles this side of Sparks,
that came near proving serious. Ow-
ing to miscaleulation in the train
schedule they met the west bound
passenger while on high grade within
a few feet OF the railroad track. Mr..
McCabe and Miss Simpkins managed
to get out OF the rig, but could not hold
the horses which precipitated them
selves and the rig down the steep in
cline some fifty feet. Fortunately
neither of the animals were injured and
the damage to the rig was of super
fetal nature that allowed Of repair by
the Sparks wagnnsmith

that there will be some rich mines

Mr.. Kinney from huge ledges which
he can follow great distance where

startling. 1t is understood that he has
located number Of claims, has bonded
others, and IS arranging to develop
them on Il large scale, Since he made
his discoveries prospectors have been
hocking into that section, which is
about fourteen miles south OF FairyieW,

ARBOR DAY
PROCLAMATION

In compliance with law, it is recon-
mended that Monday, April 9, 1906, be
observed as Arbor Day by the people of
the State of Nevada, and it is suggested
that the day be observed by planting
trees, and shrubs and vines in the
promotion OF forest growth and culture
for the adornment of public and pri-
vate grounds, places and ways
In selecting, planting and raising
trees | suggest that different varieties
be given attention, not only for orna-
mental, but useful purposes. For
forest culture the nut producing should
be considered. The pecan will bear at
the age OF seven years, and with profit
able results. Hickory, black walnut
and pine nut are OF quick growth and
valuable.
Fruit trees and vines are indispens-
able, both for ornament and use our
population is increasing rapidly and
thousands OF new homes must be
established. Probably the greater
number will be humble at first but with
adornment of trees and shrubbery.
grass and flowers, they can be made
comfortable and attractive
The day named is holiday for the
public schools of the State. Instruc-
tive and appropriate exercises will
probably create interest on the part of
the pupils, and it might be suggested
that about the new homes which are
being erected from the grass roots, the
hardwood varieties of trees should be
planted, which are oi longer lie, and
are more valuable

NO FREELAND
Concentration of Energy and
Unity of Purpose Factors
That Eventually
Make All Small Things Great and
Earn the Homestead.

There is a general impression pre-
Vaillng that the government in its
reclamation OF the arid west is giving
away free farms and all that is neces-
sary for Il man To take up one of these
farms is Il few dollars for land office
fees and a willingness to work. Farm
ingis just as much a business as store
keeping or shoe manufacturing and re-
quires capital as any other business.
There are few men who can take up
raw piece of desert land and make a
farm Of it without spending thousand
dollars either in cash or hard work for
himself and his teams. Two thousand
dollars will produces better farm and
the settler with that sum in money or
goods is much better equipped and
stands far better chance OF making
good in the farming business. And
even if two thousand dollars is spent in
the first two years in reclaiming the
land, the value OF the farm at that time
and its revenue producing capacity is
far beyond its actual cost Irrigated
lana we'll located in this valley now is
paving good interest ON 5000 per acre
and il new land doesn't speedily be
come worth this much it is good evi-
dence of something being wrong with
The way it is managed.
Eighty acres of properly prepared
land III crops will he worth eight
Thousand dollars at least six years from
now and the hopeful settler who by
hard work and diligence gets an eighty
acre farm in its highest producing
state can be assured that Tor every
dollar he puts i'll the place i'll work OF
equipment he will have two dollars
worth ol farm.
This comes pretty near creating
wealth when one dollar becomes two
10y virtue OF the application OF little
brains. \ few years ago the Egyptian
government built Il great dam across
the Nile nj cost OF about $4,000, 900.
The land benefited by this dam at once
increased in value 500 600, 900 or for
every dollar invested there resulted
$lo IN increased value. The united
States government through the
reclamation service has virtually
loaued the Carson sink Valley 81 800
I00 without interest. The proper use
of this money will mean an increased
value of property in this vicinity to
over $40, 100000 within five wears
Every dollar invested will cause an
increase OF 81 i'll property values.
Aside from this money Invested by
the goyernmeLt private parties can in
vest capital and secure Il like gain.
There Is need of capital in the valley
at this moment to establish business
relations with the farmers. We need
creameries, condensed milk factories,
II cooperative commission house To
dispose OF products OF the farm and to
secure markets for the increased
products of the summer.

Roads Should Be Worked.

1t il reported that new automobile
line will soon he established between
Fairview and Shirt, station on the
Hazen cutoff, some miles south ol Wa
buska. According to our informant,
the new route will be ten miles shorter
and over much better roads than the
present route from Hazen, which is six
ty miles in length This is matter OF
vital Importance to Chuschill county.
Road money should be expended i'm
mediately on the Ilazen FairyieW road
in sufficient sums to allow of its being
put into shape that will make it pop
ular thoroughfare. Should the new
automobile line meet with success it
will not only work a hardship ON the
present owners of automobiles engaged
in the Hazen- -Fairview passenger traffic,
but it will also rebound greatly to to the
loss OF Quitting trade by our local mer
chants. Our local business interests
should take this matter up Immediately
and try and secure concerted action.

INDIAN LANDS
MAY BE THROWN OPEN

report is current that the Indian
lands situated between Fallon and
saltwater, comprising some thirty
thousand acres OF the finest lands in
the Carson project, may soon be dis
posed of to the benefit OF the home
seeker The lands in question have
been thorn in the side OF the recla-
nation officials ior long time. II has
been extremely difficult 80 reach any
conclusion with the Indian bureau,
which insists that the noble red man
must have his rights, Notwithstanding
the many oyertures presented by the
white man.
The allotments that were responsible
for the present status ol the lands were
made some thirty years ago, 100 acres
being given to each male member of
the tribe. At that time great trouble
was experienced in getting names Tor
the aboreinee, and the hastily CON
structed names have in the great ma
jority Of eases been forgotten by the
recipients oi lands, until today the
bucks are entirely mystified Is to what
piece OF land theyrcally own.
OF the entire thirty thousand acres,
but two tracts have been cultivated,
Notwithstanding that thirty years has
elapsed since the lands were given to
the Indians.
Every proposal OF the department
looking toward the adjustment OF the
matter has been turned down. and it
is more than likely that Il series OF land
contests Will be resorted To. The
reclamation officials have been forced
to stop the work OF ditch construction
between this place and Saltwater rs a
result of the embroglio, and one OF the
most important districts in the entire
project il held up pending some action
that will have for its purpose the
matter OF determining the ownership of
the lands.

Chenowith of St. Louis. THE
HERALD is informed that it is the
intention of Mr.. Chenowith to
clear this land Immediately, and
to plant fifty acres of it in English
walnuts almonds, and pecans.
This is the kind of news THE
HERALD likes to print. One pur-
chaser who buys even small tract
and goes to work to improve it in
such practical way is worth a
dozen who buy merely for specul-
alive purposes. But the most i'm
portant feature of the transaction
is the fact that Mr.. Chenowith will
plant this land in nuts. There is
no doubt that this soil and climate
are adapted to the culture of such
nuts as pecans and English wal
nuts and doubtless almonds will
do equally as we'll here. The
example of Mr.. Chenowith should
encourage other planters in this
section to plant nut bearing trees.
There can be no better investment
than grove of pecans, and wal
nuts and almonds should prove
equally as profitable.
The telephone lines between
Brownsville and Matamoros, which
have been out of order the past
