sharps:
According to the signs plain to all
farmers who keep their eyes open this

first place, the tails of all the pigs born
III May have been tied up in hard knots
since the middle of October, and this
would settle the case if there was moth
ing more to come. But there is.
All the rail fences in the country have
been leaning towards the north for the
last month. That is to prepare them
for the winter gales.
Woodchucks seldom dig out burrows
over four feet deep. Last fall they hired
steam shovels and went down twenty
feet or more. and then insisted on feath-
er beds ut the bottom.
In ordinary winters the frog thinks it
good enough for him if he can bury him
self under n foot of mud. This winter
they have gone down five or six feet
and taken supply of coal with them.
The potato vines and turnip tops wilt.
ed Il full fortnight earlier than last

Hens quit doing their best early in
November to lay by supply of ener.
gy. In Montana and Utah it was no.
ticed that they grew fur rs well as
feathers.
The lower hinges on most barn doors
began working loose six or seven weeks

Drunken Indinns

Drunken Indians are too numerous in
Elko, and every drunken Indian is made
so by some white man who sells them
liquor in violation of the law. Some of
these Indians are harmless when drunk
and others like Indian Charley, who is
now in Jail, are mean and quarrelsome
and make life q burden to their people.
That Il stop should be put to this bust
ness goes without saying. In a con-
vcrsation with District Attorney Taber
this forenoon about this matter he re.
qucstcd us to say that he wonld consider
it favor if any one would report tho
names of the guilty persons to him or
give him any information that will lead
to their arrest and punishment. If you
see anything suspicious between q

Use Of Nolional Forest Resources


The actual use of the varied resources
oi the governments 1853, 200, 900 acres of
National Forest land is on the increase,
according to the report of the work for
the fiscal year 1908. The report saws
that from an administrative standpoint
the most striking fact of the year was
the remarkable increase which took
place i'll the volume Of business trans.
acted
This growth in business done by the
United States Forest Service last wear
over the previous year is partly brought
ont III the following statement showing
percentages of increase: in the number
oi timber sales, 23G per cent: in the
amount of timber cut under sales, 1O2
per cent; in the number of free timber
permits, ~ per cent: in number of graz.
ing permits. IL per cent, and in the
number OF special-use permits, 81 per
cent. That the additions to existing
National Forests and new creations
caused this increase only to Il small ex-
tent is shown by the fact that tho area
increased IS only II per cent. In speak
ing Of this feature of the work of the
Forest Service i'll his annual report, the
Secretary of Agriculture says in part:
The growth in the volume of
business arising from use of the Forests
has created II very serious administra-
tive problem. Last year 7S per cent of
the administrative and protective force
was taken up by. the demands Of Nation
al Forest business. The average forest
area to each officer supposedly available
for patrol duty was about 100, 600 acres;
hut with more than rec-fourths of the
time of these officers occupied with
timber-sale. grazing, and other bust
ness, the force actually available for
patrol was equivalent to about one man
to each 100000 acres. That under
these circumstances the fire losses in a
year of exceptional danger were kent
down to very small figure in compar-
lson with the value of the timber ex-
posed and the damage from forest fires
elsewhere is matter Of cOngratulation.
The risk incurred, however, is out
OF all proportion to the added cost which
more adequate protection would involve.
am convinced that the provision made
for the care and Use of the National
Forestshas become inadequate to their
needs, ,andI have therefore submitted csti.
mates for the fiscal year 1910 which ask
for substantial increase in the appro-
priation With the further growth in
business which is certain to take place
during the present year. even loss pro.
lection can be given than has been
given in the past. Indeed, the point
has now nearly been reached at which
it is not even Il choice between proyid.
ing for the needs of those who would
use the forests and protecting the
forests themselves"

The University Inyesllaatlon

The Tonopah Bonanza in speaking of
the proposed investigation of the affairs
of the state university has the following
to say of the work of DR.. Stubbs as
president of that institutions:
The first Legislative investigation for
many years will begin next week when
joint committee headed by Clay Tall
man of Nye comfy will begin the work
of going over the university of Nevada
accounts. Malice is plainly charged us
the cause of this inquiry. 1t was
brought ont by covert insinuations
made by the Appeal, paper owned by
Sam Davis at Carson. The Davis and
other allied families have but little use
for the Stubbs administration. 1t is re-
ported that Davis has made the claim
that irrespective of ability democrat
should be appointed to succeed Stubbs.
There is no denying the fact that Stubbs
has devoted the best efforts of his life
to the university of Nevada, that he
! has combattcd against many obstacles
and has overcome most of them What
ever standing the college now has is due
to his efforts. That he has been alb
solutely honest in handling the finances
of the institution is believed by every
we'll informed resident in Nevada. 1t
is not believed at this time that the
invest igation will result in brining out
anything but the facts rs stated here
1t may finally result, however, in DIR.
Stubbs tiring of what many believe is
unjust criticism and rendering his
resignation. His health has been very
poor for some time and he has been
advised to seek leave of absence and
take II good rest. But he will not do
this under fire and may wait until the
legislature adjourns before giving at.
tention to his personal physical needs.
