What Sugar Beets Are Doing For
Michigan.

In the state of Michigan there are
sixteen sugar beet factories, which
produce total of 2,640, 600 pounds of
sugar every twenty-four hours for a
period of me hundred days each year.
These factories burn 10000 tons of
coal annually; use 300, 900 barrels;
1000. 900 double bags. A party writing
from there states his acreage brings
him gross income of $102 81 per acre,
after dedueting the cost of seed, and
that his average yield is around ten
tons to the acre. He is located in a
non-irrigated section. 1t is estimated
that in this section where irrigation
adds SO much to the producing capacity
of the soil that the average production
of each acre will be around twenty
tons.

Chinaman Arrested For Selling

pretended last Thursday by Sheriff
Wghtman and Deputy Smitten, while
engaged in the act of transferring
three bottles Of whiskey to as many
Piute squaws. He was taken tc the
county Jail and will be tried in case
United States District Attorney Sam
Platt approves the information which
is assured, as both Sheriff Wightman
and Deputy Smitten were eye witnesses
10 the chink's act.
Gan Mock has been a persistant
offender and it was only by the stric-
test surveillance by the Sheriff )
Office that he was apprehended.

SEES FUTURE IN OUR SOILS
Experts Have Thoroughly Test
ed Our Soils and Find Vast
Areas Productive.

w. II. Lapham, in charge of the
western division of the bureau of soils,
arrived in Fallon Monday to inspect
the work of Soil Experts A. T. Stra-
horn and c. Van Duyne. The latter
gentlemen have been busted since early
in the summer with the work of testing
the various soils of the project and
having recently completed the work,
the. results are ready for the approval
of Mr.. Lapham, their chief.
The reports are exhaustive and
cover a multitude of conditions. They
show that our soil is varying in its
character and that while much stubborn
soil is to be found here we have vast
stretches of fertile crop producing
lands, as yet untaken, that await the
efforts of the agriculturists. In the
opinion of the experts practically all
of the area of the project, with the
exception of the toughest portion, will
eventually be utilized and made to
grow some profitable crop, and they
prophesy brilliant future for this
section.

THE RUBY PROMISING MINE
Situated In ! X L Canyon. 1t
Continues to Contribute Its
Quota of Wealth.

Leon Cirac and Eugene Kilker came
in Friday from x L. canyon district
with consignment of five tons of high
grade ore from the Ruby mine, belong
ing to Cirac brothers and Charles
Motinni. This consignment was shipped
to the Hazen Sampling Works Satur-
day for treatment. Some time back
like shipment was sent to Hazen and
the returns netted the owners of the
Ruby mine between S1100 and $1,000,
and it is believed that the ore shipped
last week is fully as rich in precious
metals as the preceding shipment
The Cirac boys are rustlers and are
doing more than their share in exploit
ing the resources of this county, both
mining and agricultural.
If such returns as are being had by
the Cirac and Mottino people, had
occurred two or three years ago, there
would have been a big stampede for
the locality where the mine is located
and it is not at all unlikely that the
x L district will in a comparatively
short time attract widespread attention.
Certainly such ore values as are
coming from the Ruby warrant a lot
more interest than is being manifested
in the district just now.

Movement on Foot to Secure Hunting
Privileges.

A movement is on foot among local
sportsmen to organize gun club and
secure. hunting privileges on the Carson
Lake hunting grounds. 1t is proposed
to raise sufficient funds to erect club
house and equip it and also to install
shooting blinds and buy boats for the
use of members of the proposed club.
1t is pointed out that should the local
nimrods fail to avail themselves of this
privilege. within a short time out
side people will come in and secure
these hunting privileges and local people
be without hunting preserves.
The sinks in this section are without
doubt the finest duck, goose and swan
hunting places left in the land and they
are annually attracting more outside
attention. We should not carelessly
remain inactive when the sport of the
section is in jeopardy but should fall in
line with the idea of securing perma-
nent privileges and providing suitable
accommodations for local hunters.
Many days of wholesome recreation
would result.

SOME SUGAR BEET TESTS
Are Phenomenal And Should
Awaken New Interest In
Our Resources.

The following tests made from beets
raised in this project tend to show
something of the wonderful saccharine
producing qualities of our soils. AL
though the tests would be creditable
under any condition, still when it is
brought to mind that the beets from
which these tests were made were
planted from five to six weeks late it
will be readily seen that the showing
is really remarkable. By seeding at
the proper time and allowing sufficient
time for full muturity, the beets of
this section will doubtless go better
than twenty per cent. in sugar, with
high degree of purity as well.

WATER USERS MEETING
Approve Final Report With Few
Amendments. Arrange
ment Committee.

The Water Users Association met at
the court house Saturday evening and
the crowd present filed the court room
to overfowing. The principal business
of the evening was the adoption of the
full report, which had been prepared
in committee for the approval of the
association. The report was taken up
section by section and with the excep-
tion of one or two changes was passed
as prepared by the committees.
The association showed its displeas-
ure at the attempt of DR.. G.. A. Has
call to become an active participant in
its deliberations, by passing with but
one dissenting vote resolution strik-
ingHascal's name from committee
report, which he had previously signed.
Chairman Thomas Dolf has appointed
the following gentlemen to serve with
him on the committee of arrangements,
whose duty it will be to see that the
senatorial committee is properly cared

The senatorial committee has signi-
fed its intention of looking very
thoroughly into the project conditions
and it Is it's aim to analyze the prob
lens and the local opinions of what
should constitute remedies. 1t will be
the duty of the gentlemen named in
addition to entertaining the senatorial
committee, to see that its members
have all of the data relative to local
conditions, which will include the report
already prepared and whatever addi-
tional information the senator's may
desire.
Project Engineer Thomas H. Means
has been ordered by his superiors to
proceed to Salt Lake City and meet
the senate committee, returning with
them to this project. The exact date
of the committees arrival has been
fixed as November 9th.

Anthrax Dangerous to Man and
Bovine.


Anthrax during the past few years
has caused he death of large num-
ber of cattle in the western sections
and so far no cure has been found for
the disease nor is there any way to
stop it when it starts. 1t is supposed
to be caused by damp ground and the
microbes of the disease are taken in by
the cattle while grazing. The author
tiles will eventually find a way to make
it harmless. Dead cattle are cremated
as soon as found and everything done
to remove all possibility of contagion.
In England it has been found that
the germs are even in cloth that has
been manufactured from the fleece of
the animals that have died of the dis
ease and it was only short time ago
that tailor, Henry Wardell by name,
died from working upon cloth of that
kind. That there is possibility Of
death being contracted by human
beings from the handling of the infect
ed cattle is possibility and one that
should be constantly guarded against
by all who are in an infected locality

|. n. Kent called the attention of
the Water Users Association Satur-
day evening to the public spirited
interest the Southern Pacific Company
had in times past manifested in this pro-
ject and cited the injustice that would
result from any adverse report that
might go from the association to the
senatorial committee relative to our
shipping facilities.
Insofar as the Southern Pacific Com
pany is affected, Mr.. Kent is right in
his contentious that we have too often
occupied the position of recipients of
this company's benefactions to make a
report that would cast the slightest
stigma upon their dealings with this
project. Of course, there are railroad
policies which affect this project, nota-
bly,, the irregular train schedule, that
demand remedying, but this is con-
dition wholly within the control of the
operating department of the company
and not one emanating from the execu-
tive offices of the company, which
have at all times been more than fan
in adjusting rates for the benefit Of
local shippers when our demands have
been made known. The erratic train
schedule will be corrected later with.
out doubt.
But in connection with this produce
shipping clause of the association
report, particular stress should be put
upon the fact that owing to the ex-
tremely high rates in vogue on the
Tonopah & Goldfield road from the
junction at Nina, where the Southern
Pacific lines turn the freight over to
the first named company, to Tono-
pah and Goldfield the rates are
not only exorbitant but are confiscatory
and suffice to keep our products out Of
the southern mining camps, which by
the way are logical markets for our
produce.
The fact that re have, through the
kinoly interest of the Southern Pacific
obtained very reasonable rates to
California points is matter for con-
Irratulation and fact that is helping
materially in the work of creating out
side markets, but the association can
invoke no invectives too singing in
treating in their report to the Sena-
torial committee, nor to the state rail-
road commission, the unprecedented
and high handed action of the Tonopah
& Goldfield road.

Bill Lyttle On Our Weather.

Bill Lyttle, the hog man, who wears
colonial whiskers and Daniel Boons
hair cuts, was talking the other day
about the local weather. Now, every.
one knows that our weather Is about
the finest to be found on the globe,
but Bill made few representations
that will bear repeating. Said he;
"Have ye noticed how the big black.
birds are already gatherin' in big flocks
and palaverin' In the stubble? They
are gittin' ready to vamoose. It's an
indication of early approachin' cold
weather. Keep an eye on that ole dog
% mine and see him buryin' bones;
more'n usual. Then take a squint at
the corn. Every ear grown this year
has longer whiskers than usual; that
means cold snaps too. Perhaps you
also noticed that the sunfowers
blossomed earlier than usual and were
extraordinarily large. That means an
early frost. I also noticed down my
way that most all the cottontails are
trading for wool appendages The
apple trees, on an average, have yielded
only middlin' crop, which means that
they're STORM up their inirgy to meet
the unusual demands of hard winter.
