Farmers Gain
New Ground

The year 1908 Is starting out I'M
precedented in the history of reclaim
ing arid land in Carson valley, says
the Gardnervile Courier. Consider
able over a thousand acres of virgin
soil is being cleared of its sagebrush
covering and prepared for crops, and
this summer what has heretofore
been barren of vegetation will be
grain. The land that is being re-
claimed belongs to the Dangberg l..
& l.. s. Co.. but is under lease to diff
ferent parties, the most prominent of
whom are j. Murphy and Fritz Dang
berg, who have entered into a part
nership and are handling about 800
acres; next comes Mr.. Ferris with
500 acres; Ezell brothers with 200
acres: Fritz German and Henry
Rohlfs each nave small tracts but
will devote their time to garden
truck. The land in the vicinity of
where the Transformation is taking
place is considered among the best
of this valley and will produce in the
neighborhood of | 500 tons of wheat
and enriching the agricultural pro-
duction of Carson valley some $751;
600 yearly. 10 ensure a sufficient
supply of water for the land now be-
ing placed under cultivation, the
Dangberg company constructed at an
expense of some sos, 900, chain of
storage reservoirs and their useful
ness will be determined.
In Churchill county the reclama-
ton of arid land is progressing with
wonderful strides, but the individual
who is carving for himseE and fam
lily home from the sagebrush flats
of the Carson sink, is being aided in
his work by the government. The
latter has spent several million dol
lars constructing storage reservoirs.
digging canals and laterals to carry
water over the land and make the
desert bloom like the rose. Here the
work is being carried on unaided and
without government assistance. In
the water sheds of the Carson river
ideal locations for storage reservoirs
are to be found. For Is years or
more the government has talked of
building reservoirs for the reclama-
ton of the arid land of this valley
they are still talking, however, and
in the meantime the farmers formed
an association and built several res
ervoirs in Alpine county to ensure
water for the second crop during dry
seasons. The money thus expended
has proved to be very profitable,
demonstrating the real good that can
be achieved from storage irrigation.
Thousands of acres of land still
remain to be reclaimed in Carson val
ley by different modes of artificial ir-
rigation. Aside from the storage res
ervoir, two other systems remain I'M
tried in this valley. BY government
tests it has been ascertained that
there is sufficient water near the sur
face of the ground, which with the
aid of cheap power for pumping, will
assist in work of irrigation. Then
again there is what is known as dry
farming and which is successfully
carried on in different western states.
The present population of Carson
valley could be increased ten times,
thereby making this one of the most
important farming centers on the
western coast.

HARRISON PUTS
BAN ON MOVING
PICTURE SHOWS
Refuses to Grant Permits to
Nickel0deon Owners to
Open Across the River.

Moving picture men and managers OF
Saturday night dances are making
strenuous efforts to invade Harrison,
but SO far without success, as mem
bers of the Common Council are deter
mined to prevent their entrance If pos
sible.
Owners of nickledrome shows are
also on the scene and are trying to rent
stores on Harrison avenue for their
shows, provided they secure permits
from the Council and in order to ac-
complish the latter. the promoters are
calling upon members Of the Council
n using their persuasive powers to
get the necessary five votes.
Saturday night dances have recently
been run at Jacobs's Hall, Harrison,
and several have been trying to secure
Reutschler's Hall, but President of the
Council John j. DAILY has within the
past few days notified the owners of
both halls that these dances will not
be permitted.
DAILY and other members of the Coun-
ell are determined to keep these shows
and dances out of the town, n it Is
expected that the matter will be fought
out at the next meeting of the Council.

LOCAL MEN WON'T
GET TOWN HALL
JOB IN KEARNY

The Kearny Common Council, at a
special session last night, decided to
communicate with nine of the most
prominent architects in the country to
learn whether or not they will COM
pete In the drawing of plans for a new
town hall. The cost of the hall will
not be less than $65, 900 and not more
than 15 per cent. more than that
amount, or STA, 900.
THE EVENING STAR last night
printed a story to the effect that some
members of the council did not want
local architects in the competition. The
story proved correct, as the Council
made 1t plain that no local men could
enter the competition because of the
fact that favoritism might be said to
be the reason for awarding the con-
tract.
1t was also decided by the council
that the architects who were written
to would have to let the council know
by November rs as to whether or not
they would compete. No information
regarding the drawing of the plans will
be given out after December IL, and the
building committee promised to have
the accepted plans approved by De-
cember 25.

near the tracks, at about 3 q. m. by
Patrolman Campion, Of Harrison.
When the arrest of Mulvey was or
dered it WAS expected there would be
trouble. The police knew that he was
always heavily armed, and that he
would shoot quickly rather the be
taken. Twice before he escaped traps
set for him by the ready use of his
gun.
What Mulvey was doing out at
o'clock in the morning was not ex-
planned. When Campion saw him the
two came abruptly upon each other as
they turned a street corner in opposite
directions. Campion recognized him
and ordered him to throw his hands up
In reply Mulvey~ tried to make good
his threat, and drew his pistol. Before
he could fire Campion smashed him
In the face with his revolver, knocking
him ten feet. As Mulvey rose he COM
menced firing at the officer. Campion
opened fire, and Mulvey retreated, still
shooting. Campion followed him, and
as the two ran down the street they
exchanged bullets.
One shot pierced Mulvey's left leg.
Campion believes, for he stopped a
second and put, his hand down to the
calf of the leg. Then he dashed on
and after another shot Mulvey fell
and Campion was coming upon him,
believing he was badly wounded, when
the wanted man suddenly leaped to
his feet and dashed into the railroad
yards, Campion hearing him yell:
you plugged me in the back, but
you won't get me-"
BY this time Patrolman McManus,
attracted by the shooting, had Joined
Campion, and they searched the rail-
road yards together. but they could
not fin Mulvey.

UGLY COERCION

election befall the country, in that
down" We believe that the demo-
cratic. national committee recently
offered So, 900 for conclusive evidence
of an employers coercion against tho
candidacy of Mr.. Bryan. Difficult as it
is to draw the line for the purposes of
the court, between legitimate notice
concerning present and future trade and
deliberate use of force, it would seem
that this case is reasonably clear. Mr..
Sharples scorns to take refuge behind
ambiguous words. He frankly threat
ms. Unless you beat Bryan" he says,
you lose your jobs"
This sort of bribery is more dangerous
than the open barter and sale of votes.
because it is subtler and harder to ex-
terminate. The democratic party and
Mr.. Bryan have suffered heavily from
it in other campaigns. As a weapon of
political warfare, it is peculiarly unfair
and contemplate. As m index of com
mercial sagacity, it is n reflection upon
any mans intelligence. The man who
thinks that the country will 90 to the
dogs upon Mr.. Bryan's election is simply
Il fool. The man who bases minatOry

reasoning should enjoy either Il fools
esteem or a bushwhacker's punishment.
Mr.. Sharplcs's concern manufactures
scparators. His apparent conception
that the earth will stop bearing grain
when Mr.. Bryan steps into the White
House is profoundly interesting from
the point of view of the %alicnist.-
