Secretary Of the Interior Makes Rec
concentrations.

Important recommendations urging
remedial legislation by congress for
securing the best use of the remaining
public lands are the principal features
of the annual report of Secretary
of the Interior Ballinger, made public.
The recommendations include spe-
cific authority to classify and seq
regate lands into we'll defined divis-
ions, according to their greatest ap-
parent use, legislation designed to
conserve coal deposits as public util-
ity and authorizing the classification
and disposition of all lands capable of
being used for water power develop
ment under the Interior department.
Warm praise is given manufacturers
of explosives in coal mining, who, the
report says, have made commendable
efforts to increase the safety of their
explosives even beyond the require
ments of geological survey tests. They
have shown desire to carry out the
wishes of state inspectors and recon-
mendations of federal engineers and
chemists.
Secretary Ballinger favors the is
suance of certificates of indebtedness
or of bonds, not exceeding $50, 900, ,00O
against the reclamation fund for cer-
tain lines of irrigation work. The
reclamation service, says the secre-
tary, has been subject to much crit.
icism.
Since the foundation of the govern.
ment, the report says, there has been
disbursed for pensions $3,9l3, 0s2, 513,
of which 500, 445, 444 was disbursed
prior to June 30, 1865.

COUNTIES WILL Be DIVIDED
Dissolution But Not Rigor Nor
tbs Is Proposed By As
piring Sections.

1t seems quite probable that the
next legislature will have before it
more than one proposal to divide counties
of the state. At the last session the
new county of Clark was created out
of Lincoln, while proposition to divide
Nye county was only defeated after a
bitter struggle.
1t is highly probable that the con-
test in this case will be carried to the
next session. Now comes the proposal
to divide Elko county, one of the
largest and wealthiest counties in the
State. The Wells Herald sounds the
first note in the following editorial in
its last issue:
"Elko county is one of the largest in
the State and the day is coming, with
the steady settlement that is going
on, when the county will necessarily
be divided and new county created.
A north and south division at a point
somewhere between Deeth and Halleck,
which would about equally divide the
area of the present county, must
eventually be accomplished and when
this is done, Wells will be the logical
point for the seat of the new county.
The present county seat is located
less than thirty miles from the extreme
western boundary of the county, and it
is hardship and an injustice to COM
pei people from the northeastern,
eastern and southeastern portion of the
county to travel the great distances
to Elko to attend court and the mani
fold duties that call them to a county
seat. With the steady and sure growth
of this portion of Elko county, it will
not be long before there will be suffic-
lent votes to back up the demand to
enforce county division. Gazette.
When the matter of county divisions
is taken up by the next legislature, it
will be incumbent upon the delegation
from this county to urge its claim to
the Fernley district, which is a part of
our irrigation project, more convenient
to Fallon and correctly belongs within
this county. Many of its residents are
ciamoring fer the change and those who
would represent this county a year
hence, should consider the fight for
this additional territory, part of
their duties.

Danielson Ranch Now Owned BY
Earl Danielson.

A deal was completed Tuesday be-
tween Earl and Will Danielson whereby
the former becomes the owner of the
latter's undivided one-half interest in
the Danieson ranch four miles east of
town, which for a number of years
was owned jointly by the two brothers.
In all, this ranch comprises $40 acres
and is one of the projects best farms.
Three hundred and fifty acres of ranch
area has recognized vested water
right. while practically all of the re-
naming acreage can be cultivated.
The consideration upon which the
transfer of the half interest is based,
provides the payment of S11, 900, giving
the ranch a total value of $50, 900.
Will contemplates remaining in this
section and engaging in some pursuit,
while Earl will bring his ranch to a
high state of cultivation and will soon
inaugurate work looking towards this
end.

MORE ABOUT THAT CUTOFF
Lovelock Paper Comedies That
Ii Will Be Built Which
Is Logical.

Looking for way to shorten the
Southern Pacific line through the
state of Nevada was the purpose of a
visit to Lovelock the latter part of
last week of f. L. Johnson of Salt
Lake, the locating engineer of the COM
pany. The company has its eye on a
40-mile cutoff, for through train SER
vice from Hazen to Battle Mountain
A franchise for road from Battle
Mountain to Hazen has been granted
by the state of Nevada to John T..
Reid and associates, and Locating En-
gineer Johnson, in company with Mr..
Ried, went over the route covered by
this franchise.
The Southern Pacific road in Hum
boldt county enters the county at the
east center borders, and following the
course of the Humboldt river, makes
a big curve, near the center of the
county, at Winnemucca, and then
takes a southwesterly course to its exit
at the south center border. The pro-
posed cutoff, as above stated, for
through train service would eliminate
40 miles of roadway. This road would
pass through the extreme southeast
ern portion of the county, and would
pass through a rich mineralized dis
triet, where many producing mines
could be found with the transportation
facilities.
The present road would by no means
be abandoned, for the business done
by the railroad company in this county
has been greater than anywhere else
in the state. Through the cutoff it
would. be possible for the railroad com
pany to cut considerable time from its
transcontinental schedules, and equalize
the present advantage of the Western
Pacific through its lower grades over
the high Sierras. -Lovelock Exchange.

New Mail Service.

Commencing December lst, the mail
service to Wonder and Fairview and
intervening points was cut down to a
tri-weekly event and as a result the
stage is running only as required by
the new form of mail contract. This
necessitates a two days stopoyer in
Fallon on the part of those who travel
towards the mining camps and more or
less inconvenience results thereby.
There is some talk of again installing
regular auto service to Wonder and
Fairview. In the meantime, the Fallon-
Rawhide stage service will be entirely
discontinued, as no mail contract is
involved, the postal route into Rawhide
going via Shurz.

COPPERE|O PREFERS FAlLON
AS a Trading Point Fallen Is
More Convenient Than
Lovelock.

AS the Importance of the Coppereid
mine, of the White Cloud mining dis
trict in the northeastern part of this
county, is demonstrated, the conviction
gains ground that Churchill county
should give more attention to this
isolated districs which is rich in mineral
The Coppereid mine, belonging to the
Nevada United Company, has been
worked for two and half years. In
this time, an incline tunnel has been
driven for a distance of thirty-four
hundred feet and the character of the
development work and of the outside
appurtenances are such that one must
know that the enterprise is of a perm
anent nature. Lately, the tunnel
cross cut the copper ledge, which
proved to be ninety feet in width and
carried copper values as high as twenty
two per cent although this value is not
uniform, but five or six per cent with
an average of around ten per cent,
seems to permeate the whole vein.
Lately, the Coppereid people have
cast an eye Fallon way although Love
lock has been the recipient of all
trading favors and now they aver
a willingness to do all freighting and
trading in this place, with a proviso
that the comfy dads get busy and ex-
tend the telephone line from Saltwater
distance of around thirty miles and
also improve the roads between this
place and Saltwater. A third demand
is made that the local business interests
use their influence towards getting a
mail route established from Fallon via
Saltwater to White Cloud.
Lovelock is sixty miles distant
from Coppereid, while Fallon is less
than fifty miles away. The roads be-
tween Saltwater and White Cloud are
said to be very good, while water is
located conveniently along the route,
something that does not apply to the
Lovelocks route along which water has
to be transported.
Those in a position to know say that
Coppereid will have big smelter with
the passing of another season and that
the anxiety of the company manage
ment at this time about choosing a
route is influenced by this fact, for there
would be much hauling to do in the
event Of the installation of a smelling
plant.
At any rate the county commissioners
will be asked to take steps looking
towards conserving the future trade
of the White Cloud district to ourselves,
rather than allowing it to go TO Love
lock as has been the custom and there
are those who believe that any moderate
investment having for its purpose the
serving of this long neglected district
would be a wise expenditure.

AGRICULTURAL CENSUS
OF This Project For 1909,
Shows Much Material
Pogress.

The 1909 agricultural census, recently
completed by the project officials,
shows creditable increase in project
resources. At the close of the last
irrigating season, 39,325 acres were
receiving water from the government
bitches, of which 10, 1865 acres were de-
voted to pasture; 2,O46 to grass hay;
grain hay, 595 acres; alfalfa, 8,194
acres; small grain, 4,793 acres; corn,
sorghum, cane etc., 100 acres; onions,
20 acres; garden, 178 acres; orchard,
134 acres.
The estimate placed on certain of
the above crops is certainly more than
conservative. For instance, the acreage
devoted to onions is given at 20 acres,
when fifty would be nearer the true
figure.
But the last census shows commend
able strides in the right direction,
although when compared to the aggre-
gate to be reclaimed by the govern
ment system, estimated generally at
from $50, 600 to 200, 900 acres, the acre
age already reclaimed seems small in
deed, making US know that the opportu-
mites for new homebuilders are here in
plenty.
The present farm population Of the
valley is given by the latest census at
], 1,120, which while only a fraction of
the number destined to live from this
valleys increment, is more than the
county's entire population at the time
of taking the last census in 1900,
which accredited Churchill county with
about $50 souls.

WATER PAYMENTS DEFERRED
Further Extension of Four
Months To April l,
1910, Granted.

Secretary Ballinger announced on
Wednesday of last week, the news
being disseminated on the following
day through the medium of the asso-
ciated press and other news agencies,
that all water payments due the first
of this month, would be allowed to
stand until the first of April next, in
order that those living within the re
clamation project Of the government
may not have to sacrifice their crops
in order to meet the water payments.
The secretary says the matter of pay
ing now or four months later is optional,
and that his action was the result of a
deluge of appeals for the change from
settlers who faced glutted market in all
parts OF the west.
Secretary Ballinger made the an
nouncement co-incident with the good
news contained in the foregoing dis
patch that this one extension must not
be taken as committal of future
reclamation policy or that it would indi-
cate in any manner permanent ch ange
from December 1st Of the year in
which the water is used to the follow
ing April, for he says the plan may not
be followed another year.
The question of permanently changing
the date of payment is under considera-
ton. however, and will be given further
study. Most project officials, including
Project Engineer Thomas H. Means,
have recommended such a change, the
logic of which is at once apparent, for
the spring market is always better
than the fall market.
Although the news was flashed over
the wires last Thursday through the
medium of the news agencies, no con-
frmation was received by the project
officials until Tuesday morning when
the message came ambling in, having
been wired at the eleventh hour. In
the meantime, December 1st, the date
of making water payments or becoming
delinquent, was close at hand, and as a
result, number of people who could
i'll afford the money, made strenuous
efforts and raised their payments. In
several instances, crops were sold at
bottom figure, rather than risk going
delinquent.
A question that has been agitating
some local water users is whether the
order applies to all who owe for con-
struction charges, or only those living
upon homesteads. No definition was
made in favor of any class, the only
statement given out by Secretary
Ballinger being that "all annual water
payments falling due on December lst
may be postponed at the option of the
person concerned, to April 1st, l9l0,"
which would lead one to conclude that
all construction charges of the govern
ment projects are involved by this
latest concession.
