SERIOUS Loss IN CROPS
Will RESULT from
RIVER FLOODS
bitches Dams and Head Gates Gone
while Hundreds of VALUABLE Acres
Have Been Inundated

Damage as serious as was expected
has resulted from the entrance of the
Humboldt river flood into the Love.
lock valley. County bridges, bitches,
dams, head gates, and many acres oi
valuable land have fallen before the
mighty rush of water, and half of
the lower end of the valley is flooded
The amount of the damage already
done and that to follow in the wake
of the flood is hard to estimate. But
when the loss of crops and of prop
erty is figured, the total will run into
many thousands Of dollars.
That more of the valley was not
flooded and greater damage done,
was due to the cutting of a new river
channel, at the Pitt Mill Dam, re-
lieving the pressure of the water, on
the east bank of the river, and turn
ing the current away from the old
channel ditch. Had the current
come with full force at this place;
the entire upper end of the valley
would have been flooded, and the
water would have come into town.
In all probability the Pitt mill and
dam would have gone out. The
cutting of the new channel turned the
current of the river completely, and
the damage that was done was below
that place. Some difficulty will be
experienced in closing up the new
river channel, but this cost will be
nominal compared with what might
have happened. $4,000 worth of
work was done by the Old Channel
Ditch Company in the effort to save
their ranches and property, and the
money was we'll spent. Below the
mill dam the floods encircled the old
antimony mill, and at this writing
the current on either side of the mill
is fast eating away the bank on which
il stands.
Large gangs were maintained by
the railroad company at the railroad
bridge, and every precaution was
taken to keep the stream free of
debris which constantly collected
about the piers. What damage has
been done to the property Of the
Irish American Company and the
Southwest Ditch Company is not
now known, and will not be until
the water goes down. The head
gates and main bitches of both com
panies are badly damaged, and a
Lovelock tribune. (Lovelock, Nev.) 1898-1912, 1910-03-17

large expenditure will be required tc
repair them. The Rogers ranch ha.
been the heaviest loser so far. TheiI
big dam in the river went out earl,
Sunday morning, and it will be al.
most total loss. The large hume
further down the river went out.
The banks supporting the county
bridge gave way, and the big wooden
structure tumbled into the river. The
Rogers hume, across the river below
the county bridge, went in and the
Anker dam at the Preston slaughter
house went out. Between the
county bridge and the Preston
slaughter house, the river washed
out channel a mile wide, and over
ten acres of ground there tumbled
into the river and was carried down
to the lake.
The flood reached.its most serious
aspect about II o'clock Saturday
morning, at the Pitt Mill Dam. With
the head gate of the old Channel
Ditch Company gone, the water was
rushing through IN raging torrent
spreading out over the valley. The
water was raising in front of the Mill
and dam nntil the levees were break
ing, a general inundation of the upper
valley seemed certain. Just at the
critical moment, the new river chan
mel began carrying the flood and the
day was saved.
The water will be running high in
Lovelock valley for at least thirty
days, probably longer. 1t has been
over two weeks since the first report
of the flood at Elko, and the river
there although falling is still high.
In some places along the upper Hum
boldt the river is out of its banks for
eight feet, and all this water must
ultimately find its way into the valley
so that greater damage is to follow
The upper valley ranchers will
secure full crops but the disaster will
fall heavily on practically all of the
lower valley rancheas. No crop at
all will be cotton on some and on
the rest but half crop.
The food waters did much damage
to the properties of the Humboldt
Lovelock Irrigation Light and Power
Company, by tearing out the big
dyke that had been built, and also
that portion of the diverting ditch
already constructed.

Some Good Advice

The Tribune has received a letter
from J. A. Macpherson, former
Lovelocker, now at 400 Third Street
Brooklyn New York, in which he says
among other things:
II hope you and all the good peo-
pie Of Lovelock are prospering.
Lovelock should prosper if any town
in this country should, because her
natural advantages are many, oi
which I need not enumerate. You
are cognizant of them as we'll as /.
1t simply remains for her people-her
men of business to peg away so to
speak; deal fairly with those who buy
Of them; make the town healthful and
beautiful and soon the stranger will
be attracted to her gates and will
enter in and join the ranks Of those
who are working for the best interests
of the town."

Saved The Bridge

County Commissioner McDeid,
deserves much credit for his activity
in saving the Winnemucca bridge dur
ing the floods. Were it not for his
ceaseless vigil at that danger point,
the Winnemucca bridge might now
be on its way to Lovelock to join the
ranks of its fellow bridges in the lake.
He forgot about sleeping and almost
forgot to eat during the critical point
in the food, and his efforts have been
rewarded. The Tribune has criticiz-
ed very much some Of the official
acts of Mr.. McDeid, but we believe
in giving credit where credit is due
and can not refrain from voicing its
appreciation of Lovelock taxpayers
for Mr.. McDeids work at the Win
nemucca bridge.

Never Mind the Editor

There is probably no man engaged
IN the newspaper business in this state.
who is not acquainted with man
whose excuse for disseminating his sub
sccription is that he already "has more
papers than he can read,' says an ex-
change. 1t is only an excuse offered to
ameliorate the Presumed lacerated con-
dition Of the editor 8 feelings. 1t has
no such effect, for III the first place an
editor never worries over the loss of
subscriber except when he leaves the
country without paying up arrearages.
But why not be truthful and say to the
honest newspaper man just what you
feel in your heart. Go into his den,
ask him how much you owe, pay the
delinquency and tell him frankly that
you don't want his disreputable, black
guard sheet any longer. Say to him in
sorrowful tone of voice that you
deeply regret his inability to publish
a newspaper worthy of the name and
advise him to sell his plant to some
man with thimblo full of brains and
seek some occupation which does not
require much wear and tear of mind.
Do this and then you can go away
with the comforting assurance that tho
editor respects you for your candor and
will not cherish any hard feelings be-
cause you choose to borrow his paper
instead of buying it.

times OF MISFORTUNE
SHOWS THE need
OF TRADING
At HOME

An article which appeared in the
last issue of the Tribune under the
caption of Home Trading Needs
Neither Advocate or Defense has
attracted 50 much attention, and so
many words of commentator have
been spoken concerning it, that we
feel some further mention should be
made of the matter. Aside from this,
the extra papers which we printed
(about fifty copies) have all been sold
to citizens of the community, and,
worst of all, some rascal has stolen
the last copy which we had upon the
files.
The article was true in every respect,
and contained not one word of bnuk
The dollar spent at home stays here,
is taxed here, helps pay the police
protection necessary to our proper
government, builds the sidewalks
that keep your feet out of the mud,
builds roads that your horses and
automobiles can travel comfortably,
and at time when great misfortune
has come to the Lovelock valley,
too many home dollars, subject to
taxation, cannot be in evidence to
be taxed for the repairing of the
flood damages Those dollars that
you sent away last month to Scissors,
Bareback & Co. will help educate
the very good children of Chicago,
but they will have no part in the
rebuilding of the bridges over the
Humboldt river. Let us all keep
the money at home. Don't you
think this will be the best way to
do it?

INTERVIEWS VALLEY FARMERS
In THE PROMOTION OF
THE SUGAR beet
INDUSTRY

DIR. C.. A. Hascall, of Fallon, New
ada, arrived in Lovelock early in the
week and interviewed various far.
mers of the valley on the advisability
of sugar beet raising here. DIR. Has
call has just successfully promoted
the establishment of sugar beet fac
tory in Fallon, and has many of the
farmers of that section Of the coun-
try signed up for the raising of
sugar beets for the factory. The
purpose of his trip here is to get a
few acres of Lovelock valley land
turned over to the raising of sugar
beets, partly as an experiment, and
to demonstrate that the land will
yield better returns from sugar beet
raising than from other crops.
Several of the farmers of the val
ley are interested in the matter and
in all probability the proposals of DIR.
Hascall will be taken mp. Lovelock
soil is particularly adapted to the
raising of sugar beets. Several years
ago the government, through the
state agricultural station, made an
exhaustive test of sugar beets grown
in Lovelock soil, and the results
were remarkable. The beets grown
here yielded higher percent saccha.
rlne matter than those of any other
place. The Tribune at that time
published the comparative table of
the tests, and the results were SO SUR
prlslng that sugar beet factory was
then agitated. The matter was not
carried through to successful finish,
because cheap labor, for the tending
OF the beet acreage was not available.
Cheap, unskilled labor is necessary
in the cropping of sugar beets. DR..
Hascall states that Fallon expects to
overcome this difficulty by importing
contract labor, and suggects that
Lovelock can also do the same.
The good results to follow the estab
lishment of the sugar beet industry
IN Lovelock are apparent. to all.
Land valnes would Immediately in
crease and there would be employ
ment for many more people. A
meeting to discuss the subject was
called for last Tuesday night.

Quarantine Raised

The smallpox which has prevailed
very generally among the Indians
since January 2I, is now thing of
the past as the last case was released
from the pest house, and the house
opened for an airing last Saturday.
In all, there was twenty nine cases
among the Indians, and five among
the whites.
Health officer DR.. F. M West,
and his brother physicians are to be

in which. they handled this threatened
plague. Had it not been for their
conscientious efforts, the scourge
might have become more general.
As it was, only one death can be even

the deceased was also afflicted with

LARGEST THEATRE CROWD
EVER Seen IN LOVELOCk
ATTENDS The LOCAL
TALENT PLAY

A record breaking crowd attended
the play "The Prince of Liars" pre-
sented by local talent in Young's
Opera House, last Friday night
Local talent plays have always been
we'll patronized in Lovelock, but the
attendance at last Friday nights
show was the largest theatre crowd
ever seen here. The reserved seat
section was sold early and more re-
served seats were added, until three.
fourths of the house was reserved
The gross receipts of the evening
were nearly $3.50. 90 with about 500
net, which is to be applied toward
defraying Indebtedness on the Love
lock baseball grandstand. The re-
ceipts will be sufficient to pay off all
indebtedness, and the grandstand is
now the property Of the town of
Lovelock, released from all claims of
Indebtedness.
The play was well spoken of by all
who attended, and the various actors
earned we'll erited applause. Mrs,
A. jain, who represented the lead
ing female character, Rosie, the
Gutta Percha girl, again demon
strated her rare histrlonic ability.
R. A. Mcclure, as "The Prince of
Liars" gave remarkably good in
depreciation ofthis difficult character
MIR. McGuire's witticisms were we'll
placed, and his actions and expires
sions were well performed. To Mr..
Mcclure also belongs the credit of
staging the play, and to him more
than any other one person belongs
the credit, not only for the success of
the show last Friday night, but also
the fact that Lovelock has a base
ball grand stand free of all indebt-
edness.
Mrs. w. R. Fits, as Mrs Gilli-
brand, gave remarkably good rep
resentation of a motherinlaw, such as
is depicted in funny stories and comic
sections-a meddlesome always go
ing never gone sort, and many sally
oflaughter followed her work through
this difficult role. VIM. V. Lane, as
Joshua, pampered son, of the never
toll class, scored his first hit before
the local footlights. Mr. Lane makes
a good comedy man, and is hoped
that he will be seen again in a SIM
iliar role. Professor Payne, as Dop
son the butler was made up in excel
ent style and gave very creditable
representation of what a faithful
English butler was like. Miss Buela
Wilson as Barbara, the maid, was
good second to Professor Payne, and
her fainting in the climax of the
second act, where she suspicioned her
" Dobson" had been false to her was
very realistic.
Especial mention should be made
of Miss Grace Collins in the charac
ter of Daisy Maitland Her natural
vivacity of manner was well suited to
this role, and the demure and sweet
little neice from abroad, proved a
pleasing contrast to Rosie, the frolic
some circus girl. J. Scot Case, car
ried the part of Ralph Omerod, IN
love with Daisy, in a manner indicat-
ing careful study of the character.
A. L. Bachrodt, was general man.
ager of the show with tine assistance
of w. l. Penny, and to these two
gentlemen belongs much credit, for
the successful advertising of the play.
