The big revival at the Crow
Center African Union church was
in full and glorious swing. The
visiting elder from Ham City was
an eloquent exhorter; Brother Jo-
nadab Augustus Caesar Jones, the
local shepherd, sat behind the pull
pit and rolled sonorous "Amens;
Sister Carolina Angelica Jenkins,
who had taken music course
from a Chicago mail-order house,
played increasingly on the little
imitation pipe organ; and the
choir, shading from shining ebony
to delicate lemon, put their hearts
into their singing.
"Now," shouted Elder F1avius
Josephus Pottlocks, the evangei-
list, now all yoh wicked and am
fizyus sinners dat feels de sword
of Gideon stickin' in yoh brack
hearts. come a-trottin' hyah to de
affairs of Zion!" The elder
whacked the pulpit SO that q tum-
bier Of water jumped off.
Roll. Jordan, rolf" chanted
Elder Pottlocks.
Sister Eliza Belle Coleman be-
gan to clap her washing-powder-
worn palms. The choir sang lusti-
ly "Fohteen Mob Times Round de
Walls of Jericho!"
The lamentations OF the mourn
ers rose and fell In one beautiful,
minor chant. Then 1t was that q
long, lank, muscular, mahogany
cOlored gentleman arose In the
middle of the congregation and
howled at the top of his leather
lined voice.
"Whoopee! wow-wow! Amt
II Jest de worst coon dat ever
was!" 89
Elder Pottlocks contracted his
maple-sugar-tinted brows at the
fnterrupter, but Deacon George
Washington Jackson tugged at the
eyangelist's coat tails. ''Doan yoh
pay no tension TO dat trifIin'
coon" he admonished. He's a
old prize fighter and carries on fit

are of a much more modest weave
than those used for girls garments.
The favorite for boys is two tones

Eastgate In the Ranks of Pro.
ducing Camps.

While mining buncombe has been
charaeterizing certain parts af the state,
the Williams Gold & Silver Mining
Company has been quietly at work on
their properties at Eastgate and the
latest news coming from that district
would indicate that while their work
has been pursued quietly, it has been
productive of results that mean great
deal moi only to the company but to
the entire county as well. Returns
from an actual mill run were received
this week by Hon. w. W. Williams,
tho principal stock holder, which show
III sacks of ore taken and not sorted
from the Gold Northern claim at East
gate to have values Of s4o.s5 and s24..
20, respectively, two separate runs
having been made.
George ". Baker is in charge of the
work Of sinking on the Gold Northern
and is already down eighty feet, The
mine workers are engaged in getting
eht the ore from a Ave foot ledge,
which continues to widen as depth in-
creases and shows every evidence of
pcrmaneney.

the Eighth District. The district

Churchill County man, which spells
much for the affairs of this county
The new departure means more prompt
administration of court affairs and has
eoeen a crying need for several years
past. Already speculation is rife as to

Ruling Favors Sheep Men.

A ruling of vast Importance has been
made by Clifford Pinchot, head of the
government forest reserve bureau,
who decided recently that transient
)wners of sheep and cattle are not en-
titled to allotments on National forest
reserve ranges, to the exclusion
Aof herds owned by parties
who have nearby real estate. This
ruling will exclude great herds of sheep
totallng hundreds of thousands, owned
by predatory Basques, who have of
late years over ran the state of Nevada.
Hon. w. w. Williams, one of Ne
vada's leading sheepmen, both in mum
ber of sheep owned and recognized bus
mess tact, has urged the representa-
tives of Nevada in the National Con-
gress to do everything in their power
to sustain Mr.. Pinchot's ruling, which
we must add was made out of all fair
ness. The available acreage for graz
/ ing privileges in the Bruneau district in
the northern part of the state has been
cut in half by recent action of the
forest supervisors in charge of the dis
trict affairs, and according to Senator
Williams, this means that some class
of sheepmen must reduce flocks depen-
dant on this range, very materially.
In the opinion of this paper the men
upon whom this loss should fall should
out of all fair reasoning, be the no.
mnlic basques.
The ruling Of Mr.. Pinchot would in
dicate that he takes view of the mat
ter looking to the conservation Of the
i''terests of the property owner.

GRILLS HIM To A FINISH.
FALLoN. NV. MARen 81. 70

FALLos, NEv., MARCH 81, 1909.
Dear sir:
Ii is with great deal of regret that
note the action OF Governor Dicker-
son in vetoing the Churchill county
experimental farm bill, which passed
both branches of the state legislature
unanimously. 1t was planned TO be es-
sentially of state wide importance, and
would without doubt, have been pro-
ductiye of far reaching results. The
. scope OF the farm as intended by my
self, would have been wide and of in
estimable benefit to this project. There
is reason for this. IL has been said
that state experimental farm in this
9unty would be Of no particular bene-
"a ! inasmueh as there is already a
government experimental farm estab-
. lished to serve the same purpose Now,
granted that this is true. Anyone who
has ever seen the lands of this project
know to a certainty that they include
! many different types of soil, and that
the site Of the government farm Is not
upon the class Of land upon which this
1 project must depend for It's future, but
& i rather upon the poorer tract avail
able, selected through desire on the
part Of the government authorities to
demonstrate just how much may be ac-
complished upon the better class Of
project lands, and no one knows this
better than the government authori.
ties themselves. The state experiment
tai farm project, rather than being
aimed as competitive feature to the
government farm, was intended 10
demonstrate something Of the value Of
the better class OF lands and 10 serve a
purpose now without prospect of ful.
iillmeht. | reasoned that the govern
nent is spending something like six or
seven millions OF dollars here, and that
the state could well afford To spend
$4,000 TO demonstrate the worth Of the
best lands sought 20 be reclaimed.
Now, il Governor Dickerson had in
sestigatcd the merits Of the bill, he
would have been forced to sign it, for
IN the future the success OF this irriga-

The Passing of the Island
Ranch.

A few years win witness the passing
Of the Island Ranch as a holding of
large proportions. Even now after a
year only has passed since it was first
opened for sale more than four thols-
and Of the twelve thousand acres have
been sold to private parties, in tracts
Of from forty to several hundred acres,
and State Senator R. L. Douglass, the
owner, is daily receiving applications to
purchase. Homes are being builded,
new land is being placed under cultiva-
ton and OF the various districts within
this project the fertile Island Ranch
will be the first to bud out and be
made to fructify. These lands were
originally tule lands, and as the water
receded the tules decayed, creating a
soil Of amazing fertility. The opinion
of beet experts who have lately inves-
tigated the soil conditions of the pro-
ject is unanimously in favor of the Is
land Ranch when grain and sugar beet
raising are considered. Senator Doug
lass has reservation of several thous-
and acres, which carry a riparian wat
er right, and of this holding he will
make an ideal country home.

CISLAT u RE
DID NO WORK WORTHY
or ANY PARTICULAR NOTE.

Among the bills of local interest,
which passed the recent legislature was
one granting the constable of Rawhide
precinct a salary of $3.50 per month.
Governor d. S. Dickerson vetoed the
Churchill county experimental farm
bill, which had passed both houses
unanimously, and at the same time
signed "a bill granting the Lincoln
county experimental farm an appro-
priation of Sl2, 600. A bill granting
the school trustees of Fallon district
power to issue bonds to the amount OF
$3.50 for the purpose Of fencing and
otherwise improving the local school
property, was also passed, and is now
law, subject to the approval of the
voters of this district. A special cleo
tion will be called soon to determine
the local sentiment upon this matter
Advance sheets of the 1909 session
laws have been received by County
Clerk Sitton, showing that something
like 80 pages have come off the state
printing Office presses. Insofar as we
have been able to read the work of the
recent session, no service Of any great
Importance TO the state was performed
by the 1909 body of solons. This, how
ever, was not the fault Of Churchill's
delegation, but was due to the general
apathy Of the larger delegations.
These, as usual, forgot the states wei
fare in their eagerness 10 further sec.
tional aspirations
OF the whole mass Of chaotic effort
to manufacture law the legislature s
attempt to restore the Sparks fortune
at the expense Of the states taxpayers
stands out preeminent as the mos
abortive. Granted, that John sparks
was great and good man, The law
giving outright to Mrs. Sparks. whe
is a noble lady too, ten thousand
dollars, must have been passed ahen 6
mood bordering On reckless abandon
and an utter disregard of the people
rights pervaded both branches of th'
state legislature. True, the deeease1
governor rendered this state splendid
service in the preservation of law am
