Col. Burns Buys Big Acreage Here

AS. Hooe, who was formerly agent fol
the S. p. here, was arrested in Sar
Francisco this week en- the charge OF
forgery and brought to Fallon for q
hearing. Said hearing was held before
Judge T. A. Jones yesterday morning.
W. S. Wall was attorney for the de-
fendant. Previous TO the trial Hooe
confessed his guilt to forging the name
Of Lofthouse Bros. to an expense
voucher Of the sum of S55.75. Prior to
this confession, however, we are in
formed Hooe endeavored to shift the
blame for the shortage to one of the
5ai!endcrs. Be that as it may, the
fact of his having confessed his guilt
eft no channel of escape and he was
Jound over to the higher tribunal in
the sum Of 50, 600, in default of which
he was remanded to the custody of the
sheriff. Hooe later telegraphed to San
Francisco parties for bond.
Mr.. Hooe has a wife and two child

be d plored. His only excuse is that
he needed the money to meet urgent
personal needs.

Released, But Not Innocent.

c B Rickley, the bank wrecker, who
has caused much distress in the west
ern part of the state, has by decision
of the supreme court, been turned loose.
While none question that the supreme
court acted within the laws in its de-
csion, it seems time that some statute
be passed that can and will deal with
such persons as Hickey. There are too
many technicalities with just such aims
as those taken advantage of by Hickey;
the consensus of opinion is that if Hickey
received his just due, that he would
spend the balance of his days behind
the bars. The fact that he has been re-
leased by the supreme court dose not
prove his innocence by any means.
He has merely escaped punishment
through a teehnicality.

The rich grazing lands of the West
are being seriously damaged by exces-
i've and unrestrained use. A band of
sheep in grazing destroys much more
grass by trampling than it eats, and
constant overgrazing has ruined thous-
ands of acres of the best grass lands.
The effects of unrestricted or ill-direct-
ed grazing not only lessen production
of forage for one or two seasons, but
the carrying capacity of the range is
permanently impaired. Worn out acres
quickly spring up to worthless or nox-
ious growth which spread and super
cede the natural covering. Large
areas are sometimes so barred by de-
structive over grazing that they be-
come practically barren wastes.
The Forest Service and the Bureau
of Plant Industry, of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, have coop
Grated in series OF experiments look
ing toward the artificial reseeding of
portions of grazing lands with cultivnt-
ed grasses, and studies are being car
ried on to find out how overgraZed
areas can be reseeded naturally, and
how the carrying capacity of the range
can be increased through notifications
of the present methods of handling
stock. Much of the grazing land in
cluded in the National Forests was
comparatively unproduetive as re-
suit of unrestricted grazing before it
came under Forest Service control.
Since that time it is estimated that the
efficiency of these lands has been in
creased 80 per cent merely by the pre-
vention of misuse. This represents
but the beginning of the good which
will result from the experiments and
studies already started.
The object of the initial experiments
has been TO bring about the natural re-
seeding of range areas without with
drawing them, except temporarily,
from use. This involves studies Of the
Towering and maturity of the range
plants, the termination of seeds, and
the destructive effeet of trampling by
stock.

Griffin.
As an advertisement of the climatic
conditions, the Truekee-Carson project
could have no better than the fact that
man of COL Burns superior judg-
ment should chose to locate his stock
farm here. Known in every city of
the United States and his name a slog-
an amcng the Pacific Coast stockmen,
Col. Burns has given this section an in
eentiye that will do more for the up
building Of Carson Sink than a dozen
Especial eastern excursions" can do.
One of the greatest benefits we shall
derive from the advent of this blooded
stock into Churchill County will be the
opportunity of local parties to breed
their stock with blooded ones, which
will undoubied be given. Conditions
on Carson Sink are exceptionally fine
for the business Of stock raising. We
predict that in few short years this
section will be knawn the country over
as THE BLo0DED STOCK SECTION.
Primarily we must credit H. j, Kin.
kead for his untiring efforts to interest
Col. Burns in this locality.
Second, the bringing into Churchill
County of 50 large band of stock wiz
necessarily create demand upon all
lines of business. Also for the present
a ready market at good prices will be
offered for all surplus hay and grain.
The STANDARD considers this one of,
if not the greatest boon, in the history
of Churchill County.

Death Penalty Sentence.

Chas. Kaiser, Indian, who murdered
his squaw in the streets of Gardnerville
a little over month ago, was sentenced
topay the deathpenalty by JudgeLangan
in Genoa.
The crime was most cowardly one
and as such will result in the death of
the Indian, for no attempt whatever will
be made to stay the hands of the ex-
ecutioner. During the trial not one ex-
ception was taken to the ruling of the
court and no motion was made for a new
trial as is commonley done in most muir
der cases.

Wash. ID. c., March 2, 1909.
The Secretary of the Interior has
just made public the following notice
in connection with the Truckee-Carson
irrigation project;
The public notice issued Nav 6, 1907,
In pursuance of Section of the Re-
clamation Act of June II, 1902 t32
Stat, 1881, for the Truckee-Carson
project, Nevada, provides that the
charges per acre for lands which can
be irrigated by the waters of the said
project are divided intostwo parts and
that the part for operation and main
tenance for the irrigation season of
1907 and until further notice shall be
4Oe per acre of irrigable land.
In pursuance of the terms of said
notice and of the said Act of Congress,
il is hereby announced that the portion
of the installment on account of oper-
alton and maintenance to become due

Wash. D. C., March 2,

W asns ~. u, mdfcn (, lSoJ.
The Secretary of the Interior has
just issued the following regulations
which are of Importance to settlers on
the Reclamation Service projects:
|. Reclamation of land entered SUBJ
jeet to the provisions of the Reelama.
tion Act To establish compliance
with the clause Of the Reclamation Act
that requires reclamation of at least
one-half of the irrigable area of an ems
try made subject to the provisions of
the Act, entrymen will be required to
make proof showing that the land has
been cleared o sagebrush or other in
eumbranee and leveled, that sufficient
laterals have been constructed to pro-
vide for the irrigation Of the required
area, that the land has been put in
proper condition and has been wat
cred and cultivated, and ttat at least
one satisfactory crop has been raised
thereon.
2. Reclamation of land in private
ownership-The express purpose of the
Reclamation Act is to secure the recla-
nation of arid or semi-arid lands and
to render them productive, and Section
8 declares that the right to the use of
water acquired under this Act shall be
nppurtenant to the land irrigated and
that beneficial use shall be the basis,
the measure and the limit of the right.
There can be no beneficial use of water
for irrigation until it is actually ap.
piled to reclamation of the land. The
final and only conclusive test of recla.
nation is production. This does not
necessarily mean the maturing of a
crop, but does mean the securing OF
actual growth Of a crop. The require
ment as to reclamation imposed upon
lands under homestead entries shal
therefore be imposed likewise upon
lands in private ownership, namely,
that the land owner shall reclaim AT
least onehalf Of the total irrigable area
of his land for agricultural purposes,
and no right to the use of water for
such lands shall permanently attach un.
til such reclamation has been shown.
3. Delinquency Under Section
of the Reclamation: "A failure tc
make any two payments when due
shall render the entry subject to can.
collation. with the forfeiture of al
rights under this act, as well as of any
moneys already paid thereon.
This provision evidently states the
rule to govern all who receive water
under any project, and accordingly q
