mended by the government as frst-class
storage places, and dozen more on both
streams. If one is not enough, or not
satisfactory, there are others to choose.
Water enough goes to waste every Win
ter and Spring to fill them all if we had
dozen. There is not year that we
would not be able to store enough wa
ter to irrigate twice the amount of land
in both valleys, and crops would be
guaranteed as consequence.
The federal government is with the
movement and recommends the estab-
lishment of these districts, and will no
doubt give this district its moral support,
because it is in line with the reclamation
act of Congress of 1901, and the act of
the Legislature of 1908.
There have been several attempts
made to get water storage, but they have
all failed because of no concerted action
and fear of the smaller owners of land
that the large owners would gobble up
their homes, which they had labored so
hard to make. This project is promoted
by the leading farmers and citizens of
our district; men with property in the
district; men who have spent their
whole life in the district and made 3 rec
ord as honorable and conscientious men,
The men who are named to be the first
Board of Directors of the district are all
well known as men of strict integrity
and sound business methods; men who
are familiar with the situation, every de-
tail of it.
! Now, friends, farmers and merchants,
we must get together on the 10Th inst.
and vote for the organization of this dis
trict. Don't be afraid to act on your
own Judgment, for we will have things
in our own hands and cannot but help
make success of it. Our local news
paper has constantly urged this project
for the past six or seven years to my
certain knowledge, and is still urging
the move, stronger than ever. The pc
tition that went before the Board of
County Commissioners was one of the
largest and strongest that was ever pre-
sented to any Board on any subject.
Don't fail, fellow citizens to vote in
favor of the district 1t will be a move
of advancement for all interests. We
are far enough behind the times now.
| Let us wake up and show the outside
world that we are alive to our own in
terests.

PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, allotments of lands in the
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1906-10-20

The following is a proclamation re-
ceived at this Office this week relative to
the opening of the Walker Lake Indian
Reservation. While everybody in this
section has been anxiously awaiting this
move it comes somewhat as surprise
on account of such short notice being
given before the date set for the open
ing. However, all those in this vicinity
who are going to seek their fortune in
the heretofore prohibited ground are
ready, but those who live at distance
will have to hustle. The Reservation,
as heretofore stated, is little over fifty
miles in length by an average of ten
miles in width. The entire tract is high
ly mineralized, but many seem to think
that the choicest spots are towards the
southern end and on the western slope
of the main range running from the
northern to the southern boundary line
While there will, undoubtedly, be a
number of good mines found in the Res
ervation ground, it must not be expected
that all the wealth of the State is stored
within those lines A few who go into
the new field will be successful while
hundreds will fail, the same as in any
new mining district.

Made Final Payment.

~. d. Johnson, of Goldfield, who some
three months ago took an option on the
Sherry and Freeman gold claims in Ma
son Pass, just north of Buckskin, made
the final payment on the property this
week Wednesday. These claims are in
a promising locality and have some ex-
cellent surface showings, and the new
owners expect to do some extensive de-
velopment work on them right away.

Hearst and Taggart.

William Hearst has opened his bat
teries on Tom Taggart He wrote
scorching editorial on the national
chairman, which he telegraphed to his
papers in Boston, New York, Chica-
go, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
After referring to Mr. Taggart as a
man who maintains an institution
for the revival of inebriates and a
gambling house for their spoliation, .
Mr.. Hearst charges that the advisory
committee was appointed by Mr.
Taggart without solicitation from the
congressional committee, but "at the
dictates of the men who own him
(meaning 1aggarD and his political
services and who send their orders
to him from Wall street"
When Hearst's New York paper
reached Washington simultaneously
with the arrival of Mr. Taggart's sub
committee, it created a stir. The
editorial was boldly displayed on the
back page under the caption:
THE impudent Appearance of Car
pet Baggers at Washington With In
structions From Wall Street and Gre
dentials From the Democratic Ma
tional Committee"
Hearst's attack created much talk
about the Democratic cloak rooms
at the capital and he explained to
several congressman that he meant
every word Of it.

New Times, New Leaders.

The death of Senator German di-
reefs attention to a significant change
in the character of political leaders
and managers. Mr.. German was a
man of much ability and skill as a
manager, organizer and harmonizer.
He became the leader of his party in
the Senate and the head of that party
in his state by virtue of his adroit-
ness. resourcefulness and tact. He
was general. campaigner, strate-
gist. His qualities were a valuable
asset to his party under certain cir
cumstances.
During the famous 'force bill"
struggle in the Senate his shrewd-
ness and ingenuity were generally adj
mired, and though many Republicans
disliked the bill and wanted to see
it defeated that fact did not detract
from the merit of Germans achieve
ment, for he had to measure the
strength of this sentiment and take
proper advantage of it at the proper
moments.
But his moral and mental limita-
tons were such that under the pc
litical conditions that have prevailed
for the past ten years or so his in
fluence could not fail to decline stead
lily. When great issues dominate the
national mind tactics and strategy
are relatively slight factors A dozen
Germans could not have saved Mary
land to Bryan in 1896, and not many
months ago we saw how utterly his
carefully laid plans for 'oisting bad
suffrage amendment on the state were
defeated by an intelligent and aroused
electorate.
In this day successful leadership
implies moral courage, faith in popu-
lar justice and in the first principles
of free government and sound nation
| al economy. When machinery is Of
secondary Importance and campaigns
and elections turn on fundamental
questions of justice and right, able
politicians like Mr.. German have to
surrender control to men of a very
different and superior type.-Rccord
Herald.

Senator German Is Dead.

Senator Arthur Pue German, for
so many years the leader of the
Maryland Democracy, is no more.
His death occurred at his Laurel
Home Monday morning. By his pas
sing away the Democratic party
loses a leader whose sagacity has
often been demonstrated, whose wis
dom helped the party out of many
difficulties; but his greatness was
dimmed by one defect-that of per-
sonal selfishness. His personal hab-
its were of the most exemplary type,
his liability to lead and manage was
superb All in all he was a great
party leader, political strategist of
marvellous resources. Like many
other leaders, he was willing to sac
ri6cc the best men and the best in
terests to secure personal success
and the close of his career was not
brilliant.

Death of John c. New.

John c. New, one of the most
widely known and prominent citizens
of Indiana, died at his home in Indi-
annapolis, Monday afternoon, aged IS
years. He was born at Vernon, Ind,
in 1881, but had been resident of
indianapolis fifty years. He was a
leading fnancier, was twice chairman
of the Republican state committee
and owned the indianapolis Journal
twenty years. He was United States
treasurer during President Grants
second term, and was consul general
at London during Harrison's admin
istration. He was the father of Har-
ry New, at present acting chairman
of the Republican national commit
tee
Mr.. New was man of generous
impulses, was noted for standing by
his friends, and was man of great
liberality.

Ditch Decision.

The appeal of the land owners adj
joining what is known as the Crum-
packer ditch to the circuit court
against the county surveyors action
in letting The cleaning of the drain
at what was deemed exhorbitant fig
ures resulted in complete victory
for the landowners Judge Richter
found for the plaintiffs, and fixed
future action in the cleaning of this
particular ditch on the petition of a
majority of those effected. Testi-
mony was introduced to the effect
tht the ditch was originally dug for
SO cents per rod, while the contract
for cleaning was let for SO cents; a
majority testified that the ditch was
of small utility to them and it was
claimed on the witness stand that
the cleaning could be done for 25 to
80 cents per rod

Sunday from the pastorate of the
First Methodist Church at Clark and

a body on June II, when he will adj
dress them on topics interesting to
workingmen.

Conference at Los Angeles in 1904.

Rain of Fish in Dakota.

Aberdeen people were astonished
Monday morning when they stepped
out of doors to find the water which
was standing everywhere in pools on
account of a heavy downpour of rain
all the night long to be literally
swarming with fish. The specimens
were all exceedingly diminutive, the
largest measuring possibly two inch
es in length, and there were. thous-
ands of them in different parts of the
city where pools of water stood from
the rain. Many residents gathered
up some of the fish, placing them in
basins for preservation as curiosities
They are all exceedingly lively and
promise to live and grow.

Some Insurance Figures.

The New York Insurance Press
presents table of figures showing
the amount OF money paid out last
year i'll Canada and the United States
by life insurance companies to policy
holders or their bene6ciaries The
total in the two countries is the enor-
nous sum of $3O7,019,972 This
amount was widely distributed, every
city, town and village being benefit
ed, since wherever a payment was
made certain portion, if not all of
the money was locally invested This
general scattering of funds is one of
the most important features of the
life insurance system and, as its ad-
vocates point out, makes an import
ant part of the money current and
tends to make communities prosper
Gus.
The extent to which such payments
add to the circulation of capital is
better appreciated by considering its
items rather than its total A record
of amounts paid into the various
States shows that in 1905 $7,35S,S
was received in Indiana. OF this sum
$1,121,575 came to Indianapolis, $685.
OO7 to Terre Haute, $2O0,997 to TT.
Wayne, $224,O13 to Evansville and
$780, $40 to South Bend The remain
der was scattered among the smaller
towns of the state These figures COW
er death claims settled, all forms of
endowment policies, the death claims
and benefits paid by fraternal ord0s
and brotherhoods, and the claims paid
in cases of fatal injury by accidents.

Recent experiences of country boys
and girls in Indianapolis have moved
some of the Indiana papers to coun-
sci their readers to stay at home in
order to escape the wiles of those
who may seduce them from the paths
of virtue or rob them at some gamb-
ling or confidence game These
dangers are always present in every
large city. Sometimes they are ex-
plotted in Indianapolis for political
and other reasons, but the preventive
agency suggested by few OF the
rural newspapers seems little more
drastic than the occasion demands.
1t is still worth while trying the ex-l
pertinent of letting these dangerous
devices alone.
The evils of a great city rarely
take hold of anybody who doesn't
meet them half way Young women
are ruined with drugged liquor, but
no young woman was ever ruined in
this way who took the maidenly pre-
caution of not drinking. The side
entrances to saloons, with their ac-
compartments of private rooms, are
a great evil--perhaps the greatest
evil in city life; but the girl who has
the proper regard for herself does
not go into saloons and drink liquor
with ruffians or libertines, young or
old. The young woman wha comes
to Indianapolis to get work, or the
young woman who, being here has
work. will never be ruined in sa-
loon or bagnio if she keeps herself
from bad company and questionable
places. Every woman, except per-
haps one pervert in thousand, has
been kindly fortified by nature with
an inner wall of modesty which
keeps her from steps that lead to-
ward destruction. She has had con-
siderable experience on forbidden
ground before she becomes ready to
take liquor in saloon or be locked
in room with bad man.
The swindling of helpless victims
by cards or dice or confidence games
is also a perrienial theme. Bit #
these affairs are run down to their
real nature it will usually turn out
that there is little occasion for SYM
pathy. The robbers, certainly, have
no claim on pity or mercy They
should be put behind the bars. In
fact, they should be run out of town
whenever they appear, as Chief of
Police Metgzer does and as Chief
Kruger did before him. But it is per-
fectly idle to suppose that the VIC
timized countrymen in such a case
believed he was engaging in relig-
ious or educational work when he
went into low groggery to shake
dice or when he sat down with
pack of villianous looking strangers
to fleece supposed victim at cards
or undertook to rob the traditional
stranger who accidentally came upon
him and his new-found friend-the
confidence man. There ace young
