Government Expert Miller
Discusses DRAINAGE

Since the subject of drainage prom
ises to bear very important part in
the future development of the valley
anything that the people can find out
on the topic ought to be of interest.
One or two practical illustrations of
the benefits of drainage will do more
good toward popularizing this method
of reclaiming the land than book full
of theories. We have a number of
these illustrations in the valley.
Mr. Miller, the government drainage
expert, when asked by representative
o. The Enterprise last week, where he
could find practical example of the
value of drainage referred to the old
Boot ranch down the valley now owned
by C. r. Blanchard. The drainage
system on this land was put in under
the supervision of the government ex-
which has beeu out of commission on
account of seep is now dry and tillable
and field of alfalfa which bid fair to
succumb to the seep now shows up bet
ter than ever before. Mr.. Miller is
also able to furnish some data concern
ing the capacity of clay drainage tile
for whilst anding the alkali. The i'm
preston is quite common that alkali
plays havoc with the tiling, about two
years being the life of the tile. This
is an erroneous idea according to Mr.
Miller. '1n all of my experience,
says Mr. Miller, II have never discov-
cred a single instance where alkali has
affected to its hurt the oadinary clay
tile" At the Boot ranch tile was
taken out of an old drain which had
been laid at least eleven years ago.
When placed in the sun and dried out
the alkali formed on the tile like snow.
but as far as the tile was concerned it
was as solid as ever. Mr.. Miller could
not say as much for cement tiling and
is of the opinion that alkali has detri-
mental effect on the cement.
The greatest need at present in re-
gard to drainage is the lack of the
proper kind of machine to make the
drainage trenches. The machine which
was brought here by Mr.. Douglas last
spring did not seem to be adapted to
the ground here, but the manufactures
agreed to make one that would fill the
bill. There is no doubt that an effec
tive machine will finally be secured
and practically all of the land which is
now going to waste on account of too
much water will be growing it's pro
rata of crops. " Western Enterprise.

Kill the Cherry Slugs.

The small black saw-fy, the parent
of the cherry slug, has deposited its
eggs in large numbers in the tissues of
the leaves of the cherry, pear and
plum trees in northern Colorado. This
means there will be plenty of slugs in
few days. In the warmer portions
of the state the slimy slugs are already
Matched and feeding upon the leaves.
AS this insect feeds entirely by gnaw-
ing away the upper surface of the
leaves, it is very easily killed by poisons.
REMEDIES.
If there is little or no fruit the trees
may be sprayed with Arsenate of lead,
lb. to 25 gallons of water; Paris
Green, OF. to 10 gallons of water; OF
with White Hellebore, l OF. to gal.
Ions of water. Apply so as to distribute
the poison as evenly as possible over
the upper surface of the leaves.
If there is much fruit upon the trees,
use the white hellebore as it will
not render the fruit unsafe for food.
AS the backs of the slugs are moist
the application of slaked lime. ashes OF
fine road dust will often be all that is
necessary to free the leaves of the
slugs.
Another, and usually a much more
abundant brood of this insect. will ap-
pear the latter part of August. If they
are allowed to live and ruin the foliage
the trees are often seriously weakened
or killed as the result.

May Be a Strike

A Salt Lake dispatch of the 2Ith saws:
Information from Ely. backed by
statements made by arrivals from that
camp i'll the city yesterday go to show
that there is likely to be serious labor
troubles in the big camp Of copper be-
tween now and the first of the month.
1t is said that an organizer for the
Western Federation of Miners has been
at work in the camp since the latter
part of last month, while Il member of
the federation's executive committee is
now also in the field The plan is. so it
is said, to hold for a fixed scale of wages
for an eight-hour day and for the com
plete elimination of the cheap foreign
element. A man who is just from the
camp, mechanic, says:
Il should not DE surprised to hear at
any time that the mills and smelters
and the mines as well, had all been
closed down. The subject is one that is
not being discussed openly. but there is
no denying the fact that matters are
shaping up for general strike. Over
2000 men would be involved in such Il
move. At the mill and smelter of the
big companies over 1900 men are EN-.
ployed. There are something like &c
men at the Nevada Consolidated and
Cumberland-Ely mines, and l am told
that the federation is persuading non
members of that organization to become
affiliated so that when demand is
made it can he enforced. While there
is no means of telling just what kind of
u stand may be taken by the federation
forces, there is great deal of uneasi-
ness felt by the business interests of
the camp, which is just getting into its
stride and ready to forge ahead at u
rapid clip. A clash between the mine
operators and the union forces would
entail consequences thai the sober,
business element of the camp cannot
contemplate without having the cold
shivers run down their spinal
columns"
1t is understood that the big COM
panies are now turning ont copper Mt

a cost Of less than & cents pound de.

A sacramento Tough

Saturday night Deputy Constable
Cotant caught Sacramento tough
committing nuisance at the corner of
the Odd Fellows building. He spoke to
the fellow and told him he was violat-
ing the law and was told by tho tough
that there were not officers enough in
Elko to arrest him. Cotant took the
dare and a scuff1e ensued. The tough
got away and ran down the alley and
Cotant shot into the air to stop him.
This only made the fellow run faster.
He went west to Third street and along
Third to Silver and up Silver to Fourth
street where Cotant again nailed him.
Another scuffle ensued and the tough
was finally knocked down. Cotant then
called for assistance and tho tough was
landed in the old Jail. He was fed
Sunday forenoon by Constable Ouder-
kirk, but when Cotant went to give
him his supper he was gone. He had
kicked ont the partition between the
cell he was in and an open cell and left
for other fields.
While being taken to Jail, he told
Officer Cotant that he would not be
alive year from that time as he
intended to kill him.
While the county is saved expense by
the prisoners escape. it is Il pity that
Judge Bruce did not have an opportun-
ity to give him taste of Elko justice.
