NEW RULING CONCERNING
TRUCKEE-CARSON PROJECT

The secretary of the interior has just
made public the following notice in
connection with the Truckee Carson ir-
rigation project in Nevada:
"The public notice issued May 6,
1907, in pursuance of section A of the
reclamation act of June II, 1902 (32
Stat, 3sS), for the Truekee Carson
project, Nevada, provides that the
charges per acre for land which can be
irrigated by the waters of said project
are divided into two parts and that
the part for operation and maintea-
ance for the irrigation season of 1907
and until further notice shall be 40
cents per acre of irrigable land.
"'In pursuance of the terms of said
notice and of the said act of congress,
il is hereby announced shat the portion
of the installment op account of opera
ton and maintenance to become due

slated for almost everything on the
list of presidential places, from am
bassador down.
About the only man who doesn t
seem to be worried by the situation is
= Jimmie Garfield himself. The
isn't often used now, since
he became Mr.. Secretary Garfield, but
if he carried out his announced inten-
tion of returning to Ohio to practice
law people probably will get to calling
riculture and commerce and labor, this
is the only cabinet position Ohio mon
have not filed. There have been only
four secretaries of agriculture and only
three of commerce and labor.
Ohio men have filed other portfolios
as follows: Secretary of state, three;
secretary of the treasury, five; secre-
tary of war, six; secretary of the in
terror, four; postmaster general, three I;
attorney general, four. There has been
considerable comment on the fact that
Mr. Taft begins his administration
with no Ohio man in his cabinet. This
is not especially remarkable, however,
in view of the fact that Garfield did
not have an Ohio member of his official
family. Of the three other Ohio presi-
dents, William Henry Harrison hai
Thomas Ewing as his secretary of the
treasury, Hayes had John Sherman in
the same portfolio, and Mckinley haa
three Ohio secretaries of state, John
Sherman, William R. Day and John
Hay.

DENVER Colo. March 9.--Gifford
Pinchot, head Of the forestry depart
ment of the government, and more or
less completely in control of the ad-
ministration of America IS millions of
acres of public forests, is coming to
Denver on March 18th to meet the
members of the Colorado legislature,
and to confer with the forestry com
mittee of the American Mining con
grtss in relation to the grievances OF
mining men against the forest policy
II was at the suggestion of Mr.. Pinehot
early in last October that the Mining
congress appoint a committee TO make
Investigations concerning the effect of
the forest policy upon the rights OF
mining men, and the committee has
meanwhile gathered much data relative
to prospecting on public lands and pat
ents to claims within the forest re-
serves the use of timber, water rights,
etc. Numerous specinc complaints
have come into the hands of the com
mittee, which win be carefully con
sidered.
Mr.. Pinchot feels as do the officers
of the Mining congress, that full re-
view of the differences would place
most of them in the way of satisfactory
settlement, but the Mining congress IS
determined to fight for the renewal Of
all restrictions which hinder the de-
velopment of mining.

CITIZENS Committee
ACQUIRES REQUIRED LAND
THE TOASTMASTEHo PRE-
SENTED BY HIGH SCHOOL

Many of our citizens missed a rare
treat Saturday evening when they fail
ed to attend "The Toasmaster,' pre-
sented at the Nixon opera house by the
students of the high school.
Being given for so worthy an ob.
ject, it is to be regretted that the
amateurs were not given better en-
couragement.
The cast included Miss Bertha Pin
son, Miss Dorothy Parker, Charles
Guthrie, VIII Case, Roy Nelson. Dave
Abel, Elmer Campbell, Chester Var
gas, Vernon Robins and George Case.
The play, a college comedy, full of
spontaneous humor and laughable stu
ations, was presented in a manner that
showed careful rehearsing and each of
the parts was given an excellent in
depreciation. Taken in it's entirety the
performance was as creditable to the
pupils who took part as it was pleas
ing to the audience, the appreciation
Of the latter being shown by the ap-
plause which was given throughout.
Between the acts some excellent
musical specialties were introduced,
including vocal solos by Miss Florence
Guthrie and little Theckla Wright and
a piano duet by Misses Hazel Poulin
nd Grace Robins. Each of the num-
bers was given merited applause.

All the land required by the company
for terminal purposes has now been Sc.
cured, and during the week the com

from subscribers, pay Tor the land, and
wind up its business. 1t is estimated
that if all subscribers settle, 40 per
cent of the amount subscribed will an
swtr the purpose.
The citizens of Winnemucca will
then have performed their full duty
in the premises. Great credit is due
the men who so generously subscribed
to the project, and particularly to Ed
yard Reinhart. J. Sheehan and c. p.
Brown, the members of the committee,
who have devoted so much of their
valuable time to the public welfare.
Now that this matter has been dis

morning, and asked when the laying Of
steel would be commenced, Division

ANOTHER PIONEER
PASSES AWAY

j. P. (better known as "Pick'y
Anderson died very suddenly yester-
day, in Sacramento hotel, while en-
gagged in packing his trunk, preparatory
to starting for San Francisco. Mrs.
Anderson was with him at the time.
Death was doubtless due to the ills
incident to old age, the deceased hav-
ing attained his seventy-sixth year. He
was a native of North Carolina and
was one of the earliest settlers in this
part of the State. The exact date that
he came to Humboldt county is not
known, but it was somewhere in the
middle sixties. He was one of the very
first men to engage in stockraising in
this part of the State, a business which
he followed with extraordinary sue
cess up to the time of his death. He
filed the first cattle brand in the
County Recorders office, in 1878.
"Pick" Anderson was one of the
unique characters in Nevada history.
His whole life was devoted to his busi-
ness. To the management of his
ranches he gave his entire attention.

it has been a general accepted fact in

tributing logical plot and consistent
story, replete with farcial situations,
ludicrous complications and exquisitely
funny dialogues, interspersed with
scientillating witticisms and clear,
wholesome humor The lyrics are said
to be far above the average product

Tayland' will be presented here IN
precisely the same sumptuous manner
as during the recent phenomenal run of

quiring two mammoth 60 foot bag
gage cars and comprising the most
costly wardrobe ever used in dressing

bellishment never equalled in the his

News OF NATIONS
CAPITAL
BY Sheldon s. Cline.

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Elihu
Root, of New York, will be the next
chief justice of the United States su-
preme court-provided Mr.. Root will
accept the appointment at the hands of
Mr. Taft. He has told friends that
were he able to make Root chief justice
he would regard it as the crowning act
of his administration.
1t is well known that Mr. Taft IS life
ambition was to sit on the supreme
court bench and until the little presi
dental bee began its buzzing he had
looked upon the chief justiceship as
the most exalted place to which mortal
might aspire 1t is not surprising,
then, that he wants a man of large
calibre to place in the seat now occu-
pied by Chief Justice Fuller. The lat
ter is long past the age of retirement
and it is well understood that he will
not remain on the bench throughout
Mr.. Taft's term in the white house.
At a banquet in New York a few
nights ago Mr.. Taft said that he be-
lieved that Root instead of Taft should
have succeeded to the presidency. No
man ever paid another higher compli-
ment. The compliment was a peculiarly
graceful one because of the well known
fact that Mr.. Root aspired to the
nomination last year but gave way TO
Taft because he believed the latter
would make the stronger candidate. IL
Mr.. Taft, having been elected to the
place which Mr. Root wanted, should
appoint Mr.. Root to the position which
TAFT himself wanted, it would be an
unusual demonstration of the capacious-
ness Of fate
Whether Mr.. Root would accept the
chief iustieeship is not known except
possibly to few Of his intimates, and
Mr.. Root has few intimates When he
was elected senator from New York
there was very widespread belief that
he hoped the senatorship would lead to
the presidential nomination four or
eight years hence There isn't a
chance, though, that he will oppose
Taft for the nomination in 1912, and in
1916 Mr.. Root will be 70 years old
Under such circumstances it would rot
be surprising if the chief justieeship
appealed to the New York senator.

The preliminary examination of
Francis Heathman, the young man from
Lamont, who was arrested on the charge
of sending black hand letters to W. A.

before Justice G. W. Beck in this city
last Friday. The case was prosecuted
by county attorney Geo. W. Baker, as
sisted by A. p. Olsen, and v. R. McGin-
mis- and G. w. Hoffman we're retained by
the defendant. The hearing was a
secret one, there being an old law
which provides that when SO demanded
by the defendant that the hearing shall
be behind closed doors, and no one was
permitted to hear the testimony except
the defendant, the justice and stenog-
rapher, and the attorneys in the case,
the witnesses not being allowed to talk
to each other or hear any of the testi-
mony, SO no report of the trial can be
given. The attorneys for the defend
ant tried to have his father and mother
remain in the court room but the states
attorney insisted that if the rule was
applied that it include everyone, so

retire. The hearing was not concluded

Farm Residence Burned.

A rather peculiar fire occurred at the
farm of j. G. Bullard three and half
miles southwest of Leon on last Friday
afternoon, which resulted in the total
loss of the house and most of the con-
tents.
The fire was first discovered between
one and two o'clock in the afternoon,
by W. A. Poush, who lives on an ad-
joining farm, and when he noticed the
smoke he went over to investigate. Mr..
Bullard was at home at the time and
with Mr.. Poushs assistance the fire
was extinguished, it being around the
chimney on the roof. Thinking the
fire was all out Mr.. Bullard then came
to Leon, and about three o'clock Mr..
Poush again noticed smoke at the
Bullard home and started over, but
soon saw that the fire had made con-
siderable progress this time. Mrs.
Billiard and daughter were at home at
the time, but did not know the house
was on fire until Mr.. Poush came in.
Several other neighbors were soon on
the scene and a part of the things
down stairs were carried out, but
everything upstairs was destroyed and
the house soon burned to the ground.
1t was two story house, and was in
sured for $500. Mr.. BuIlard also had
$100 insurance on the contents of the
house, but his loss will be about $1,000
above the insurance.
