HUMBOLDT FARMERS
TO BUILD DAMS

At mass meeting of the farmers
OF the Humboldt Valley, held
there this week, the farmers voted
to form company for the purposc
OF building a large reservoir for the
conservation of the water
OF the Humboldt for irri-
cation during the dry season,
when the humboldt river is very
low. Nearly every farmer in that
portion OF the state has agreed to
back the company by purchasing
stock.
On the recommendation OF State
Engineer Nicholas, the reservoir
will be built near the Hum boldt
House.

A FORECAST
THAT WAS TRUE
Made Late in the Season but the
Signs Will be Worth Rememb.
ering for Future Use.

The following is going the rounds
of the press and is travesty Oh
some of the prophecies given out
by the weather sharps:
According to the signs plain to
all farmers who keep their eyes
open this is going to be a hard
wiuter. In the first place, the
tails of all the pigs born in May
have been tied up in hard knots
since the middle of October, and
this would settle the case if there
was nothing more to come. But
is.
All the fences ia the country
have been leaning towards the
north for the last month. That is
to prepare them for the winter
gales.
Woodchucks seldom dig cut bur-
rows over four feet deep. Last fall
they hired steam shovels and went
down twenty-feet or more and then
insisted on feather beds at the bot
tom.
In ordinary winters the frog
thinks it good enough for him if
he can bury himself under foot
of mud. This winter they have
gone down five or six feet and
have taken supply OF coal with
them.
The potato vines and turnip
tops wilted full fortnight earlier
than last year and that's sufficient
hint for any farmer to get his
wooden socks ready.
Hens quit doing their best early
in November to lay by supply of
energy. In Montana and Utah it
was noticed that they grew fur as
well as feathers.
The lower hinges on most barn
doors began working loose six or
eight weeks earlier in order to give
the tramps chance to crawl
under them.
As early as November first the
farmers hired man showed an
inclination to Ing to bis bed in
the morning, and it required two
whoops and hoot to get him
down stairs at o'clock to do the
chores at the barn.

COSTS OF STATE
GOVERNMENT
State Controller Eeeers Declares
With Ordinary Prudence 6Octs
On the 500 Will Do.

The annual report OF the State
Controller, J Eggers, has just
made it's appearance and contains
much information of interest, not
alone of a financial nature per-
tanning to the revenues and dis
bursements of the State, but re
lating to the character and loca-
tion OF State property, list OF all
existing county officers, list of IL
surance companies doing business
in Nevada, and mining products,
by mines and counties, for ihe
past year.
According to the figures given
therein, it costs the taxpayers o.
Nevada $900,93l.12 to carry on
the State government last year
The Controller estimates the cost
OF the State government for the
year 1909, at 81, ,37S,25 : 10.
He declares that with ordinary
prudence in appropriations and
average economy in expenditures,
however, not as already manifes ed
by the Legislature now in. session,
a tax of go cents on each assessed
valuation OF 800 ought to bc
enough to defray the expenses OF
the State government for the next
two years and have a surplus for
the next Legislature.

A PURE FOOD
CRUSADE STARTED

The government has started on
pure food crusade in Nevada.
United states Attorney Platt We'd
nesday filed libel, says the News,
for the seizure and condemnation
of fifty cans of shrimps shipped to
ank in the possession OF the Reno
Grocer Company. The suit was
filed upon the report OF Inspector
Moore and Kitchen OF the Depart
ment OF Agriculture. A warrant
and monition was issued and u.
S. Deputy Mack seized the G ods
for the government pending the
hearing. A short time ago ship
ment of butter sent to the Nevada
Packing company was seized Tor
the reason that the butter was
found to be Is per cent water.
The suit against the Reno Grocery
Company was brought by the Z.
S. Attorney under special tele-
graphic instructions from Secre :
tary OF Agriculture Wilson.

Of COUNTY
As Compiled by the Assessor and Pubhsh-
ed in the Report Of the SurDeyor
General

of what will be produced, and as
no man can foretell the future his
report is simply guesswork or
copied from reports of previous
years."
The report of the Assessor OF
Douglas county for the year 1908
shows that A, $50 acres are under
fence while 26,S44 acres are being
cultivated. Wheat to the extent
of 1000 tons were produced dur
ing the year while the barley crop
is Civ, n 4,4S3 tons, with oats at
$40 tons. The potato crop is given
at 675 tons, while hay to the a.
mount of 1924 tons is reported
Butter amounting to 10000 lbs
was manufactured. $1,000 pounds
of wool is given in the report while
the figures relating to livestock
gives beef cattle at 1850 head
stock cattle 1862, sheep and lambs
22,620, hogs 500. The amount OF
flour manufactured is given at
1900 pounds.
. The report of the assessor, while
serving good purpose, is not
authentic to any certain degree
and underestimates in many
particulars. He reports the butter
output for the year as 10000
pounds. As matter of fact the
Douglas County Creamery makes
from 800 to a 1000 pounds 365
days in the year, while the new
Minden Creamery and the Fair
view Creamery are both steady
shippers and add greatly to the
total output which could be safely
estimated at half million pounds
yearly. This Valley is one of the
leading dairy center on the Pacific
Coast, being particularly well
adapted to this industry which
gives such encouraging returns.

One of the most interesting re-
ports issued by the different State
officials, comes from the office of
Surveyor General Z. L. Deadly.
1t gives a very complete summary
of the typographical and climatical
conditions as they exist, and also
of the irrigation and reclamation
work, OF which there is no industri-
al question of greater importance,
or which demands the attention of
the people of this state more than
this subject. Uuder the National
irrigation act 100000 acres of land
are being reclaimed in the Carson
Sink Basin. These lanos are open
to entry in the Uuited States Land
Office under the Homestead Acts
and may be limited to any area
from 40 to 100 acres. There is no
charge for the land except the
regular land office fees, and the
charge for the use of the water,
which is fixed at S55 per acre.
The total acre of surveyed and
unsurveyed land in each county is
given which show Douglas to have
] 249, ,52l acres surveyed and 62,96l
OF unsurveyed land.
A change is asked for in the
/ time the assessors are required to
make their reports to that offices.
In dealing with the matter the
surveyor generals report says:
"Another feature, which renders
the law farce, is that, during the
early spring months when the
Assessor makes his animal assess
ments, he is required to gather "re-
liable" statistics fsr that year be-
fore the seeding and planting is
done or the fruit trees are even In
blossom or the live stock has been
rounded up" In other words,
he is required to report statistics
