SOME FUTURE POSSIBILITIES

The Truckee-Carson project bids
fair to produce a bumper alfalfa
crop this season and a prosperous
fall will naturally follow for the
farmers. Alfalfa is most valuable
crop, though an old resident was
heard to remark few days ago
that we are not making the best of
our opportunities. He referred
particularly to the raising OF hogs,
and said the revenue from this
source should be very materially
increased in our CON nunity. Alfalfa
furnishes splendid feed for hogs
and with little grain, the fat can
be put on readily. Then, too, with
the establishing of the beet sugar
factory will open still wider field
in hog raising through the large
supply Of pulp that will be available.
The latter will of course include
dairying and stockraising in general,
and IL will be we'll for the farmers
to begin increasing their dairies
and stock in every line. Dairying
is one of the most promising sources
Of revenue. however and II properly
developed in this locality, as it has
been in other sections Of Nevada,
will bdag the Carson Sink to the
front as no other industry could

JUST WHO OWNS
WESTERN PACIFIC

The tangled affairs of the Western
Pacific railroad are gradually
Strengthening out. so far as the ap.
pointment of officials is concerned,
but the more closely this matter is
followed the more puzzling it gets
to railroad men to figure out Just
who is in charge of the property.
The Denver & Rio Grande, which
it has been generally admitted the
Goulds own. built the Western
Pacific. but when T. M. Schumacher
was made vice president in charge
of traffic it was announced that
Edwin Hawlcy was in command.
Then when Charles Levy was
named as vice president in charge
Of operation it was proclaimed that
James J. Hill was the dominating
factor.
But Schumacher quit in a hurry,
and a report spread that the Goulds
were back at the helm, and would
name Charles II. Schlacks the first
vice president of both properties,
to be the general traffic head.
Now comes a report from San
Francisco that II. NJ. Adams, general
freight agent of the Spokane, Port
land & Seattle. the Oregon Electric
and the United Railroads of Port
land, has been made general freight
agent of the Western Pacific.
This reyives the rumor that Hill
is the dominating force. as the roads
which Adams leaves are owned by
Hill. He purchased them but a
short time ago. and only lately
made Adams the general freight
agent. More Western Pacific ap-
pointmcnts announced in Denver
are these:
J. d. Mansfield, commercial agent
OF the Denver & Rio Grande and
Western Pacific at San Francisco,
to be freight claim agent of the
Western Pacific, and II. Davenport,
general agent of the Colorado
Midland, at San Francisco, to be
general agent of the d. &.R. G. and
the Western Pacific, with head
quarters in San Francisco.
The appointment of Adams pre-
cIudes the possibility of Fred Wild,
general freight agent of the d. &.
H. G. going to the Western Pacific
in that capacity, but it is reported
that Frank A. Wadleigh will get
the berth of general passenger

WANTS TO Be U. S. SENATOR

Friday morning we received six
type-wri ten pages of manuscript
announcing the candidacy Of II. c.
Mcintosh of Tonopah for United
states senator on the democratic
ticket. Accompanying the manu-
script was a confidential letter
asking that the announc emcnt be
made in today's issue.
Bert" Mcintosh lived in Elko
several years ago and is well known
70 all the older residents. For
several years, he has practiced law
IN Tonopah and is now so engaged.
In his announcement he discusses
the various questions before the
people and promises. If elected, tc
support only those measures that
make for the public good.
As his announcement would I'll

the request to publish it. Neither

LETTER FROM ITALY
Pieve de Cadore, Italy.
June, 8, 1910.

June,5, 1910.
Dear SIR
1t is Slndry and we are in the
heart of the Dolountes with no
place to go to church. The elevation
is 2678 feet and it has been raining
all day. We are surrounded by
fine forests, which in past centuries
furnished the piles for the found
alton of Venice and the material
for the construction of her princely
men of war and the dirt and rock
for filling in her land. Yet this
cold winter rain does not seem to
bring forth fuel of any kind. These
hotels are not suited for Ameri-
cans. who are accustomed to heated
homes. The only way to keep warm
is to go to bed. But | have had
enough of that and so am spending
the after dinner hour in writing
these few words about our trip to
the Dolmites. My last letter to
the Elko press was from Venice.
We left Venice after weeks stay
for Padova. The Elglish name is
Padua. Why we should have
changed the name the Italians gave
to these cities has always been a
question to me. The proper name
is the one that has been given to
the country whose it is. Why is
Padova Padua, and Firenze, Flor
ence; and Venzia. Venice; and
Roma, Rome?
Well we went to Podova, part way
by steamer and the other part by
train. This is an interesting old
historic city, because it was the seat
of the university that sent out from
its professors men, who have lived,
not for Italy only, but for the world.
This university, founded in 1922,
was famous seat of learning in
the middle ages and still boasts of
1900 students. Here scientists,
artists, writer's and theoloists of
! those early ages completed Their
education. The Madona DELI Arena,
surrounded by the remains of the
ancient amphitheatre, contains some
beautiful frescos by Giotto, dating
back to 1906. This artist was very
friendly with Dante and the date
of this fresco is determined by the
fact that in that year they met in
Padova.
We took an early morning train
from Padova to Castel Franco
Veneto to see the only thoroughly
authenticated production of the
great painter of the early part of
the sixteenth century, Giorgione.
Here the painter was born, and here
behind the high altar of the cathei-
rral hangs his famous work of the
Madona, with st. Francis and
Siberalis. 1t is kept covered, ex-
cept when the custodian lifts the
cover. For small fee he furnishes
glasses so that we can see the paint
ing to a better advantage. | find
an electric bullseye which carry
with me to be of special advantage
in looking atthese pictures
At Castle franco we took car
riage to Riese to make a pilgrimage
to the Pope's home. Here Plus TX
was born and here he spent his
earlier life. He went to Padua,
believe, but was never outside of
Italy and since elected Pope has
never been outside Of the Vatican.
: Much of his time must be given to
ceremonialism and thereception of

with the Pope. But one member
of our family has. Three years ago
it was impossible. No effort was
made at this time because it was
thought to be useless, but / have
since learned and think from good
authority, that the delays and in
conveniences are for the purpose of
exacting moneys from those who
are willing to pay for such privilege.
We spent a pleasant day at Riese,
surrounded by suggestions of the
Popes early influence, and returned
by the same drive between row of
beautiful catalpia trees on either
side to Castlefranco.
But there is so much to this
glorious Alpine Dolomiten country
that | must leave it for the next
letter. The hour is drawing into
midnight--it is nearly "a O'Clock.

IlDIkNS To Be ALLOWED
LAND NEAR SALTWATER

Indians here have been notified
by C. H. Asbury, superintendent of
the Lo, clock Indian school, that
there is land situated near Still
water, Churchhill county, that is
open for settlement by the Piutes
who at present are not in posses
sion of land. Ten acres will be
given to each Indian, making from
twenty to fifty acres for each family,
with rights for water from the
government ditch. This is a good
opportunity for Indians to make
themseles a good home on land that
is capable of producing almost
anything in the agricultural line.
