Dave Leahy's Ignorance.

The Hon. Dave Leahy, who Is
paid $2,500 a year to write Mr..
Stubs speeches and practically
run the office while Stubbs is
out campaigning, has again brOk-
an loose. Leahy has been with
StubbS so long that he has got
ten the habit of breaking out ev-
cry once in a while, and his ut
teranceS are about as effective as
the reduction of taxes proves to
be under a business admmiStra-
ton as administered by Govern
or Stubbs. Leahy is like the re-
mainder of the few men that now
run the Republican party, he has
lost his dictionary and is unable
to tell what the meaning Of the
word "truth" is. He tried to
,slander Senator Hodges by a sup
pOSedly curt reply, Of course the
Star and Capital printed it, but
it was such a boomerang that he
had to write another one. The
long letter was about as near the
truth as Kelley's, who seems to
write the heavy ones for the Cap
ital and Republican committee.
Just one charge is all that really
Is needed to prove Leahy'S mis-
statement. When he says that
Hodges press agent is an agent
for the book trust and the Pull
man Car Co., he deliberately falSi-
fieS, Hodges press agent is on
ly a little country editor, and he
has sent out every piece of pO-
itical dope for Hodges that has
been sent out, and it was not
sent out by anyone in Topeka,
nor was it sent by being paid
for with the States money nor
the postage that really belongs to
KnasaS asmuch of the StubbS ma
terial has been. Hodges agent
has never had a Pullman pass or
has never been recognized by a
book trust, in fact it is doubtful
if the book trust knows there is
such a party. If Hon. Leahy is
wanting names he can have them.

Opportunity for Farmers to Cooperate
In Ordering Forest Trees.

Mr.. F. B. Headley of the Experiment
Farm has sent out bids to number of
nurseries to get wholesale prices on
forest seeding trees that are suitable
for farmers to plant for windbreaks
and wood lots.
The following prices are the lowest
so far received for trees freight prepaid
to Fallon:
Boxelder, 10 to l5 inches high, S3 per
l,000; Black Locust, ~ TO Is inches
high, 1925 per 200; Soft Maple, IL to
Is inches high, So per 1000; Catalpa
Speciosa, ~ to Is inches high, So;
Carolina Poplar cuttings, 81. 80; Russian
Mulberry, IL to Is inches high, %.
All farmers desiring to purchase
trees at these prices should write to
Mr.. Headley, stating the number and
varieties desired. The orders will be
sent for the stock about February 18th,
but it is desired to have the requests
for the trees come in as soon as possible.
Mr.. Peavy of the Forest Service,
recommends the Black Locust trees for
the most general in this section, but at
least small plantation of the more
rapid growing varieties such as: Cotton
wood, Carolina Poplar, Balm of Gilead,
Norway Poplar or Lombardy Poplar.

CHURCHILL COUNTY JUDGE
We Will Have a Local Man
On Bench After February
1st If Rumors Are True.

Because of the incessant grind of
Reno's divorce mill, which District
Judges Pike and Orr claim occupies
practically all of their time, they are
slated to resign as district judges of the
second judicial district, which action,
under the statutes of 1909 will dissolve
this district, which now comprises
Washoe, Churchill and Humboldt
counties, and with the acceptance by
the governor of their designations, it
shall be incumbent upon him to appoint
a judge for Humboldt county, which
will then be known as the sixth judicial
district. for Churchill county as the
eighth judicial district and two judges
for Washoe, which will retain the
second judicial district title.
Of course, before either Orr or Pike
would resign they would have tacit
understanding with Governor Dickerson
that their reappointments would follow.
Over in Humboldt county District
Attorney f. A. Ducker has been
generally indorsed for the judiciary of
his county, while in this county, the
man who will shake the plum tree is

ing local man for the position this
paper earnestly hopes that the governor
will give the matter of personal
qualification first consideration making
party affiliation subordinate to this all
important requisite. As far as this
paper has been able to learn no active
local aspirants have appeared, but in
as the designations of the
present judges would, if placed, take
effect February 1st, plenty Of time will
ensue to allow scramble.

DAVE HAYES GOES TO RENO
Leaves Government Employ To
Enter Irrigation Engineering
Field of State.

ID. W. Hayes, formerly with this
project in constructing engineering
capacity, than whom there is no more
eminent authority in this state on irri-
cation matters, will shortly establish
himself in Offices in Reno, where he
will be subject to demands as an ir-
rigation expert. Already many calls
have been made upon Mr.. Hayes know
ledge and time from people of capital
who are desirous of developing diff
ferent portions of Nevada's matchless
agricultural lands, but until recently,
he was not in a position to accept any
of the proffered business. He now ex-
poets to enter actively in the work of
developing virgin lands, as an instru-
ment in the hands of capital and we
confidently believe that Mr. Hayes will
be heard from in the future more and
more as an irrigation expert.
He believes implicitly in Nevada's
future and his belief is founded upon a
world of observation covering the
interim existing between his graduation
from the engineering department of
the Nevada state university and his
recent resignation from the govern
ment' service, after having made an
enviable record as government engi-
neer. In all his dealings with land
owners in this valley Mr.. Hayes has
been fair and he leaves here to go to
his Reno home with the confidence and
high esteem of all local residents. The
worst wish this paper entertains for
Mr.. Hayes is that he will always be at
the top of the heap, a'wish that seems
well on the way to fulfilment.

Accident at Hazen.

The manner of .disposng of the
Lake Tahoe outlet control matter is go-
ing to force the reclamation department
to hasten its Carson dam building in or
der that project extensions may be
made and in addition insuring an ad-
equate supply of water for irrigating
the areas already under cultivation.
The prospecting for dam site goes on
apace at the lower reservoir site near
the Truckee chute and an appropriation
for the purpose Of constructing suit
able storage dam is one of the matters
even now under serious consideration
by the reclamation department officials.
1t Is realized generally, that the Car
son dam matter occupies an intimate
relation to the future of this project
now that the Tahoe dam question has
been indefinitely pigeonholed. From
Secretary Ballinger's disposition of the
Tahoe affair it would seem that he,
along with many others, believes that
the building of storage dam on the
Carson river should be the next matter

Prospecting Dam Site Goes On.

Conductor Kness, of the fast mail
train, running between Sparks and Car
lin, met with an accident in alighting
from the train at Hazen Friday while
en- route west, that resulted in a broken
leg and came near costing him his life.
The train had come to a slow speed and
the conductor swung himself free from
the steps, but in alighting on the icy
platform, he slipped and fell in such a
manner that the bone between the
knee and thigh was snapped and his
injured limb protruded under the train
in such manner that had it not been
for the fact that the train was moving
slowly and pushed the member ahead,
rather than going over it, he would
have lost the leg. Immediately follow
ing the accident, the conductor was
placed on cot and taken on the fast
mail to Sparks, where medical attention
was administered.

Evils of Obsolete Water-Laws.

The new epoch in water control in the
West came with the passage of modern
irrigation codes in Wyoming and Idaho.
Features of these laws were copied by
a few of the other states of the West;
but as a rule the older states were
afraid to bother with their water laws
afraid that any disturbance would
throw the commonwealth into a
paroxysm of water litigation. For ex-
ample, California has notoriously poor
and confusing water laws; but she has
paid heavily for even these entangled
shreds, for Government investigators
tell Us that water litigation in Califor-
mia, up to the year 1902, had cost $27,-
600, 900, while the total amount spent
in every form of water development in
the state was but SIG, 0OO, O00. Randall

Ten Gents a Copy
TAHOE DAM UP IN THE AIR
Secretary Ballinger Apparently
Has Forgotten That 1t Was
Ever Contemplated.

According to the Sacramento Bee
the Lake Tahoe contract, defining
the rights of the Government and of
private owners in waters coming from
that basin, is sleeping in the files of
the Interior Department. 1t probably
will have longer sleep. Secretary
Ballinger has virtually Abandoned for
the present any idea of trying to get
the contract into acceptable shape.
Furthermore, after very comprehen-
sive investigation of the matter, he
questions whether the contract would
be of immediate utility to the Reclama-
tion Service or to the Truckee-Carson
project. The Secretary does not pat it
in just that language, but this sums
up his apparent conclusion.
No details are given as to the par
ticular obstacles which have blocked
the efforts of many months to reach
satisfactory agreement. The contract
has been drawn and redrawn and has
had the attention Of half dozen law
yer officials. 1t was originally framed
in the Reclamation Service and put
into shape that was satisfactory to Di-
rector Newell and to the private par
ties who own water privileges at the
outlet of Lake Tahoe. Then when pro-
tests came from California to the Pres
ident the contract eventually found its
way to the Department of Justice.
Some notifications were made there.
Along IN the Autumn the contract
was back again in the Interior Depart
ment. The Assistant Attorney General
for the Interior Department, Mr.. Law
Ter, has spent considerable time over It.
When Secretary Ballinger went West,
after his visit to Beverly, Massachu-
setts, to see the President, he visited
Lake Tahoe to study on the ground
some of the problems.
Reclamation officials take 4 diH6f-
ent view of the Importance Of the cco~
tract. They regard its completio6 =
essential to the irrigation 6 shout

to obtain sufficient water foR tbat ex-
tension they should have t. me of
water owned by persons who obtained
their right from the State Of Cali
fornia. But in conducting this water
to the project they must cross private
rights of way. The contract has to do
with getting that water on terms mu-
tually acceptable.
Whether this means that the
Truckee-C Carson extensions will be de-
layed cannot be ascertained. There b
not much of an entente these days be-
tween the Secretary and the Reclamas
tion Service, although the Reclamation
Bureau comes under the Secretary's
jurisdiction. The Reclamation officials
know little of the Secretary's plan
until his plans are promulgated.
