NEVADA MAY
GAIN BY ACT

c. l.. Deadly, State Land Register
is hard at work on bill which will
De introduced in the Legislature rC,
vising the state law on the lines of
the Carey Act.
BY this act the government agrees
to patent to the state one million
acres of desert land to be reclaimed
by the state under the supervision of
the state Land Register.
Unuer former state laws nothing
has been accomplished in tnat di-
rection but Surveyor Generai Deadly
proposes to push this matter to the
front so that the people can avail
themselves of tie privileges of the
Act and thus bring about the recla-
nation and settlement of thousands
of acres of our desert lands.
1t does not follow tnat the million
acres of land that will come to the
state through the proposition of this
act will be in one piece. Ii may be
divided into any number of pieces
and can be located wherever such
desert land may be brought under ir-
rigation.
1t is to be hoped that the iegisla-
ture will make the necessary laws to
comply with this act of the federal
government and that the state engi-
neer and surveyor general may work
together to the end that proper Sc
lections may be made from the fed
eral domain and under the provisions
of the act the surveyor general may
start the work of reclamation without
delay.

JUDGE BARTINE
RE-APPOINTED

The Governor has reappointed
Judge Bartine to be Railroad Com
missioner. succeeding himself, to
take effect FEB. l.
This appointment is the best one
that could nave been made. To
Judge Bartine who has acted as chair
man of the board since its creation,
is due in a large measure the digni-
fled attitude and efficient work of the
board. A jurist of high standing and
broad understanding. he is eminently
fitted for the place he occupies and
his painstaking care i'll considering
all phases OF cases, in his rulings on
questions that do not properly come
before the regular courts have made
the Nevada Railroad Commission one
to be respected by every corpora
ton with which it has had business.
1t is to be regretted that the com
mission has not had the benefit of a
decision in the case in the federal
court wherein the COnsttutiOnality OF
the act of creation is questioned. but
Judge Bartine has been able to main
tain the delicate position of the board
pending that decision, in manner
that has called forth nothing but res
pect and admiration. The Governor
is to be congratulated upon this ap-
pOintment and Judge Bartine has the
good wishes of all who know him,
and his work.

ANNUAL CONVENTION OF UTAH
STATE FEDERATION.
Opened in Capital This Mornins-Mat
tcrs of importance to Be Thor
oughIy Threshed Out.

A large number of delegates went
to Salt Lake today 10 represent the
labor unions of the city in the annual
convention of the State Federation OF
Labor which opened In the capital this
morning. The delegates from the
Trades and Labor Assembly OF Ogden
are as follows: William M. Piggott,
r. NJ Clark w D. Watson. c. ID.
Beauchamp and Fred r, Turner. Aside
from these delegates one from each ot
the labor unions of the city will also
attend. ,.
The convention promises to be ono
Of considerable Importance to the la.
bor unions OF the state. The first busi-
ness to be attended to Will
be the election of the officers or
the State Federation, for the ensuing
year. Another matter of moment that
Will likely be discussed at consider
able length and definitely acted upon,
will be that Of demanding greater Ell.
fort on the part OF the members OF
the various unions in lending their
efforts toward controlling patronage
for the firms that are supporting the
unions and complying with their re-
quests and demands In the matter OF
wages and In the employment Of union
workmen. 1t is said by some of the
union men that of late there has been
considerable laxity on the part or
union men In this regard. and that
the question will undoubtedly be
threshed out on the floor Of the con.
vention, to the end that the principle
may hereafter be more strictly ad
hered to AMI put into practice.
