TO RECLAIM NE.
VADA LANDS

One of the most gigantic schemes for
retaining a large tract of arid land
and what is considered the most pro-
ductive soil in western Nevada is about
to terminate in a crcp producing propo-
sitlon and also furnish homes for from
twenty to thirty-fve families.
The Ii. F. Dangberg Land & Live
Stock company has decided and pro-
vided for the selling of thousands of
acres of their land, but the initial work
of ~sub-dividing will ommence with
what is to be known as the Heybourn
tract and containing approximately q,
900 acres and situated almost in the
center of the valley, being traversed by
the Minden extension of the Virginia
and Truckee railroad and the power
line of the Truckee River Elecric com
pany. The tract of land has been sur
veyed and mapped and today is ready
for allotment at terms that no young
man a say opportunities are not rs
numerous as they were when his father
was young. Opportunities in Carson
valley for ambitious and energetic
young men are far more than they
were 40 years ago, but like the men of
long ago. those of today must have the
nerve and push to meet Opportunity
at least half way.
Up until the 18th of June of every
year the flow of water in the Carson
river will irrigate every acre of lane
in this valley. After that date the flow
is not sufficient. To irrigate the
Haybourn tract, the river flow, under
priority rights, will DE used until about
the middle of June. Thereafter, if the
supply runs short the defcience will
be overcome by electrical pumping sta
tions, OF which every farm in the Hay
bourn tract will be equipped. Each
plant will consist of a multiple of wells
ranging in depth of from one to two
hundred feet. The outer casing will be
perforated in order to take up all of
the underground flow for the entire
depth of the wells. The tract lays in
a known artesian belt by several flow
irg wells nearby. Moreover, this flow
from the subterranean channels will be
augmented by the seepage of surface
water that is plentiful during the
months that irrigation is in progress in
this valley. To fully demonstrate the
p~racticability of this mode of irriga-
ton, the Dangberg company will handle
an S0-acre field in the Haybourn tract
to prove conclusively what can be aer
complished.

A little more than two years ago,
when open discomfort over such rail-
way dictatorship" had displayed it.
self, Hartman made a speech at
Kansas City, in which he repudiated
the charge. He then declared:
1.-THE impression prevails that l
control more miles of railroad than
any other man. That statement is
made frequently. I deny it. 1t is not
true. / do not control one mile of
railroad. l do not believe in any one
man or any one company controlling
vast interests of this kind. There
are fourteen or fifteen thousand per-
sons who cooperate in the control of
railroads and other corporations in
which 1 am interested"
This is, no doubt, one side of it.
Most people will, however, class this
reasoning with the logic of the
schoolmen. Wall Street looks, not
for metaphysical distinctions, but for
hard facts. and the hard facts are
that Hartman fully exercises the con-
troll described. II any shareholder
doubts it, let him try to discuss the
policies Of the year in a Hartman
company's annual meeting.
1t is not always fair to accept a
telegraphed account Of an off-hand
conversation with reporters, but the
comment ascribed to Hartman, in
Richmond dispatches regarding his
election to New York Central's board,
was at any rate accepted on Wall
Street as stating the position:
$50 far as the New York Central
is concerned, / can say this: I was
elected to the board of directors. 1
am going to serve in that capacity,
and look after my interests. The
Vanderbilts and anybody else can
look after theirs"
AS between Harriman's interests
and the Vanderbilts' interests, recent
history of the New York Central gives
a fair notion of which will be looked
after best.

Rome, Italy.-Nobody, not even

what is approximately the present
amount of the earthquake fund, be-

the money was sent personally to the

the Foreign Minister. the Minister of
the Interior, the different embassies
and legations, the national committee
presided over by the Duke of Aosta,

Certainly all this means an i'm

contributions and appropriations by
the Italian Parliament. The last, ex-
ceeding SIS, 100000, has purposely
been left undistributed yet, since, be-

BATTLESHIP DELAWARE
LAUNCHED FOR NAVY
She Surpasses Any Vessel Built
or Building.
ONE OF FOUR SISTER VESSELS
Displacement 1000 Tons Greater Than
British Dreadnought and $50
More Than Vanguard-9OO Men
For the Crew.

Newport News, Va.-The great bat
tleship Delaware was launched sue
cessfully from the yards of her build
ers and was witnessed by 5000 per-
sons.
Among those present. were Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy Satterlee,
Governor Pennewill, of Delaware, and
his staff, Northumberland Men,
dinhall, a delegation from the Della
TT Legislature and Rear-Admiral
Taussig and other naval officers.
There also were present several hun
dred prominent people from Della
ware, including the Delaware Repre-
sentative in Congress. The battle
ship was christened with champagne
by Miss Anna Pennewill Cahill, of
Bridgewell, Del, niece of the Gov
ernor, who had as her assistants Miss
Florence Hazel, of Dover, and Miss
Ellen Coleman Du Pont, of Whining
ton.
Compared with the ~battleships,
completed or under construction, of
any foreign country, the Delaware
surpasses all. She is one of four SIS.
ter ships authorized by Congress. The
other vessels are the North Dakota,
being built at Quincy, Mass; the
Florida, which will be built at the
New York Navy Yard, and the Utah,
to be built at Camden, N. ].
The Delaware will have a speed Of
twenty-one knots and the highest
practicable radius of action. The ar
rangement of her main battery guns
is such as to permit a broadside fire
OF twenty-five per cent. greater than
that OF the broadside fire of any bat
tleship now built or under construc-
ton.
The contract was placed August G.,
1907, at $3,987, 900, to be built in ac-
cordance with the departments de-
sign for both hull and re~ciprocating
machinery. Her keel was laid No
vember II, 1907. The Delaware is
$40 feet in length on load waterline,
o5 feet 2 inches in breadth and her
mean draft to bottom of keel at trial
displacement about 81 feet. She will
have triple expansion ~reciprocating
engines and will require more than
900 men.
Her armament will consist of a
main battery of ten twelve-inch
breech loading rifles and her second
airy battery will be fourteen ive-inch
rapid-fire guns, four three-pounder
%saluting guns. -four one-pounder
semi-automatic guns, two three-inch
field pieces and two machine guns of
80 calibre. She has two submerged
torpedo tubes.
The Delaware will have a displace-
ment on trial of 10000 tons, or 2100
tons more than the British Dread
nought and $50 tons more than Great
Britain's latest vessel of that type,
the Vanguard.

NO MEDICINE
But a Change of Food Gave Relief.

Many persons are learning that
drugs are not the thing to rebuild

There is a certain element in the
cereals, wheat, barley, etc., which is
grown there by nature for food TO
brain and nerve tissue. This is the
phosphate of potash, of which Crane
Nuts food contains a large proportion.
In making this food all the food
elements in the two cereals, wheat
and barley, are retained. That is wby
