and in that way get as large a volume
of business from this territory as
they are favored with in other sec
tions of the State.
With this idea in view the Cable
factories have sent two of their pop
ular special representatives to conduct
these exhibits in upper South Caro-
lima. We predict that the music low
ers of Newberry will not only enjoy
their exhibit, but Will cooperate with
Messrs. Wallace and Kennertty in
making their exhibit and sale a large
success.
We are promised some high class
vocal and instrument concerts during
this exhibit by first class musicians
who will also BE assisted by our best
local artists.
MeSsrs. Wallace and Kennerty
have a solid car load of the most re-
cent styles of the several makes of
pianos manufactured by their COM
pany. All of these instruments en-
JOY a world wide popularity and sale:
Observation-Disclosures of THE
exhibit will be demonstration of the
Kingsburg Inner Player, which plays
over $4,000 selections with absolute
accuracy and exquisite musical ex-
preston. This wonderful Instrument
will doubtless create a musical sensa-
tion here.

DAYS. Their exhibit will be conducted
at No. 1904 Main street in the build
ing formerly occupied by Watts

Grazing Permits Allotted

On the Humboldt National Forest ap.
plications to Craze 53S. 900 sheeep. and
81, 900 cattle and horses. for the season
of 1909, have been received.
After ~alloting range to the cattle and
horses. which are almost with out X
ception Glass a. men, the area suitable
for safeguarding WAS found tn he 330,-
900 acres.
1t will he seen by these figures that
something must lc done to prevent the
utter destruction of the range. Graz
ing 53S, 900 sheep on $50, 600 acres is an
impossibility, and consequently u
system of reduction had to he adopted.
First all increase Owe the number
grazed last year was cut off, which
amounted to something like so. 900 head.
Then i'll order To protect the citizens and
old users of the range and who are also
heavy tax payers and entitled to first
consideration, those who did not own
not citizens, were excluded entirely.
This reduced the number about %. 900.
Then those who hud used range only
subsequent to Withdrawal, in 1905; and
who must have known the uncertainty
of their rights; were excluded, making
a futhcr reduction of about 30. 900 on
total applied for.
\ cut of about 30 per cen has been
made on those who owned ranch land
III small quantities. but not full
citizens, and about 80 per ceiit Of those
who are full citizens but own no land
whatever. provided this last cut did not
reduce the number below one band for
any one man. This reduced the NUM-
Der about p, 900 more. Finding it still
further necessary To reduce the number
to any thing like Il reasonable amount.
the old users who We're not subject To
any cut at I'LL. mutually agreed to stand
such cIt rs the Forest Officers found 10
BIZ necessary. This being done OH ii
sliding scale the number WAS reduced
about IS 0J more. leaving $50, 600 sheep
to $50, 900 acres. which is still more
than the land will reasonably support.
Aud while there is some diSSatisfac-
ton among those excluded the opinion
of those who have been longest on the
range, and are representative citizens of
the country are that the very best has
been done under the circumstances for
the general welfare and permancncy of
the Live Stock Industry of the whole
state, but more especially Elko County.

their hearty support, cooperation, and

graciously offered to reduce their stock

The Bank Investigation

The investigation c1mnittc: ap.
pointed by the Senate and Assembly TO
investigate into the affairs of the State
Bank Il Trust Company held an open
meeting last evening and examined a
number of witnesses among whom were
Secretary of State Douglass, State
Treasurer Ryan. Receiver Frank l..
WillcS and L. =. Attorney Platt.
Senator Boyd has been appointed tn"
Chairman IF the committee and adj
ministcrcd the oaths to the witnesses.
The main point of the investigation at
the present time seems to hinge around
the question ri the trading Of accounts
and Furthermore as to the action of the
bank examiners III allowing the bank to
remain for such Il length Of time after
it was discovered to be insolvcnt with
ont the appointment of II Receiver.
The two reports made by Bank Exam
liner Miller to the Board of Bank Com
missiUncrs are the foundation for an in
vcstigatiOn with the apparent motive in
view of proving that the Commissioners
were dcrclict in their duties and re-
fused to accept the first report made by
him and sent ont to make another cX-
animation and which, when filed tended
to show that the banks were solvent,
when in reality, 10y the testimony of
Receiver WildcS, they were hopclcssly
inSolvcnt.
Both Douglas and Ryan testified that
no moneys belonging To the state were
or are in the State Bank and Trust
Company. That ut the time of tho
closing Of the bank, or rather prior
thereto, there was the sum of 81 900
deposited in the bank in the lame of
Douglas and which represented the
collections made in the office for the
three months prior and which had been
placed in the bank in the way Of checks
and drafts for collection.
OF this amount about $ll, 900 was
paid 10y the bank before it closed and of
the remainder due bills were accepted
as security. These due bills were taken
up 10y Douglass and Ryan and the state
received every dollar of the money.
Receiver Wildcs will prepare II mum.
her Of statements Of the condition Of the
bank and the conditions ut the time of
the closing for tho benefit of the com
mittcc. The investigation will take Il
number Of days and will he watched
with intense interest by all who are
interested in the matter Of the bank and
its failure.
1t is thought. that number of SEES.
sions will bc held and a large amonnt
Of evidence taken and the final outcome
will depend wholly upon disclosures

The Utah Liquor Law

The Utah senate yesterday passed n
stringent liquor law. 1t gives local
option to all counties and to cities of
10000 population or over a separate
vote on the abolition of saloons. The
question must be submitted when - per
cent of the voters so petition. Where
prohibition is not adopted, saloons are
to he closed from 7p. m. to 7 II. III. the
bars to he visible from the street, chairs.
tables, booths, music and free lunches
are tn be taboocd. Liquor is not to be
sold to any man who has been drunk
within six months and the licenses of
brewcries and distillcrics are to he i'm.
creased many fold. This measure will
pass the house and DC signed by the gov.
crnor and the impression is that all but
four counties of the state will take
advantage Of the law to suppress the
liquor traffic entirely.
The time is not far off when the
people Of Nevada will demand u more
stringent regulation of the liquor traf-
fic. When that time comes, the reform
pendulum may swing too far toward
prohibition, but the fault will lie with
tho liquor dclcarS. Had they demanded
that the present Legislature pass Il re.
strictiyc high license law with the local
option feature, tho temperance element
would have been satisfied for a time at
least. But the indicatsons are that no
temperance legislation will h, enacted
ut this session and as a result the TEN.
pcrancc sentiment will be so strong two
years from now that il may demand
absolute prohibition Nevada will not
always bc found in the rear ranks Of tho

WATER AND LAND

The new president of the Irrigation
Congress, Geo. L. Barstow, is in favor
of making the congress a more scicn-
tific gathering with less of agitation
propaganda. He takes II position in
favor of better legislation on water
lights and land ownership.
among problems demanding i'm,
mediate attention, I think that an ir.
rigation law should occupy n prominent
place The relation of riparian rights
to priority rights is now and will be one
of the most troublesome questions that
the people have to settle" says Mr.. Bar.
stow.
1T was unfortunate that the gov
ernment at it's foundation did not I'M
dcrstand something about the future
cultivation of arid lands and put the
land and water together, making them
n and in~separable, and then to di-
vide the land into irrigation districts de-
termined by drainage basins, and thus
insure each acre within u given drain
age basin its proportiOnate amount of
water. This would have saved millions
of dollars worth of property and mil
lions of dollars of expense in litigation.
"As it is, / believe we are slowly
trending toward this result; and either
cooperative State laws or Federal law
will eventually regulate the water
supply, not by the riparian rights nor
by the priority right. but by the equit-
able distribution Of water in the irri-
gated districts.
Another very important problem is
the water power of the streams in the
arid region. Great companies are
reaching everywhere to ]mOnopolizc this
water power and put a perpetual tax
for its use on future generations. If
there is Il natural resource that ought
to belong to the people at large it is the
water i'll streams and lakes.
For domestic use, for irrigation, for
transportation and for power the States
in the west ought to sec to it ut once
that laws are passed to give the state
absolute and perpetual ownership ot
the water power of our streams. For
while we are now looking to water fol
irrigation, in another ten years we vii
be looking with much eagerncss t,
water for mechanical power"
