ACCEPTANCE OF SEWER
SYSTEM IS MADE
With SEVERAL
PROVISIONS

The Lovelock Sewerage System
has been. accepted by the County
Commissioners of Humboldt County
and final payment made with the
exception of $4,000. 90, which has been
held up by the board, on advice Of
Engineer Cook and the citizens COM
mittee Of Lovelock. This has been
held up for several reasons, pending
several tests that will be made on the
efficiently of the outfall system. This
is known to be somewhat unsatisfac-
tory and the committee will subject
the field through which it runs to
alternate wetting and drying to see
if the outfall system will absorb the
outside moisture.
Several minor corrections are also
to be made in the system, which are
now being made by Louis Bernasconie
one of the bondsmen for the contrac-
tors. 1t is understood that good
round portion of the money was held
up to protect creditors of the con-
tractors, of which, if reports be true,
they are many.

annual HAY CUTTING
SEASON IS NOW
ON IN FULL
Swing

The annual hay cutting season in
the Lovelock valley has started, and
there are now about $50 moving
machines at work in the valley cut
ting down hay at the rate of about
eight acres per day for each machine.
For the next three weeks, cutting and
gathering the first crop will occupy
the attention of the ranchers up and
down the valley.
The Reservation ranch has ten
machines cutting; the Riverside five,
John &. Taylor ranches eleven, w.
Z. Pitt Seven, and all the other nu-
merous ranchers in the valley from
two to eight machines.
The crop in some sections of the
valley will be as heavy as in previous
years, but the crop through out the
valley will fall far short of other
years, particularly in the southern
end, where there has been no water
for the irrigation of the first crop.
On much of the lower valley land
the water completely inundated the
ground, so that there will be no hay
this season and in all probability a
very short crop next year.
There is not much wheat in the
alfalfa this year as on previous years,
which also will cause shortage in the
crop. Most of the valley farmers an
nualy SOW wheat in the alfalfa in the
early spring, and when the alfalfa is
ready to cut, the wheat is well grown.
But it takes plenty of water to make
wheat grow, and the old alfalfa has
roots sufficiently long to be grown
without much irrigation.
The principle loss in the hay crop
in Lovelock will be in the second
cutting. The ground will dry out
now,s and on those ranches where
there is no water available for irriga-
tion the second crop will fall far short
of previous years.
100 more men can find employ
ment in the Lovelock hay fields, and
unless this number come in during
the next two weeks there will be a
shortage of hay hands, which will
prolong haying season.

in COURT over
A GAMBLING
Debt

James J. Jeffries training for the
big fight on July 4th will suffer still
another interruption. He has been
cited to appear before the superior
court of Nevada County, California,
to show cause why he should not pay

the evening after he refereed the
Hart Root fight in Reno four years
ago and lost what money he had in
his pockets and then gave two checks
of $4,000 each, which were cashed
and the money lost at craps. Later
in the evening he asked for the checks
back and gave note instead, which
he later refused to pay on the grounds
that it was gambling debt
