MUCH LAND IS WITHDRAWN
Under Carey Act Provisions, in
Nevada, Churchill County
Furnishes Quota.

Charles l.. Deadly, Surveyor General
of the State of Nevada, in discussing
the reclamation of lands, stated that
many entries are now being made
throughout the different counties, says
the Rene Journal.
Mr.. Deadly stated that he had sent
applications to the Department of the
Interior for the segregation or temper
airy withdrawal of about $4,000 acres
and that he expected to receive favor
able action on each application In the
application for the segregation of lands
it is requested for the Department of
the Interior to set lands aside for the
use of the State, but the requests
simply mean the State is not ready to
handle the lands in question, and they
are Withdrawn from public entry for a
year.
The applications for and under the
Carey act have been received from
every county within the State. The
latest acreage to be applied for lies in
Nye county. Elko county comes
second, with Humbolt third and is fol-
lowed by Esmeralda, Clark, Washoe,
Lincolp, White Pine and Churchill.

Terrill Continues to Build.

Terrell now has three saloons. Judge
F. Sule and Judge Kidd both well

Judge Kidd, who are Judges by virtue
of their christening and not through
the medium of the judiciary, are serv-
ing drinks and cigars in the new camp
to those whose appetites demand these
luxuries. The boys call their place the
Terrell saloon, name that was right
fully theirs by reason of the fact that
their stock of goods was the first on
the ground, so they claim.
Terrell already has a restaurant in
addition to its quote of saloons and
lumber has been hauled there for a
lodging house that will shortly be un-
der construction. Terrell has many of
the adjuncts of the mining camp and
those who know say there is no reason
why it should not be a thriving pro-
ducing camp within a short time.

Michigan Largest of Producers,
While California Is Second
in the List.

California has surrendered the su-
premacy for tonnage as "a sugar beet
producing State to Michigan. Cali
forna was first up to 1910, but last
year Michigan jumped ahead of her,
and this year she expects TO forge far
into the lead.
Michigan has no advantages that
California cannot boast when it comes
to sugar beet cultivation; but she is
specializing now because the induce
ments to grow that saecharine yege-
table are particularly attractive.
The principal advantage in Michi-
gan's favor is that her farm labor costs
less than in California. The daily wage
there ranges from 81 to $l.50, while
in California it is never below sl.5O.
On the other hand, California can
grow two crops of beets year against
Michigan's one. The acreage in beets
this year in Michigan is 10000, from
which the farmers will receive a gross
income OF $4,000, 900. The product of
this immense immense area will keep
sixteen factories busy changing it into
sugar.
Farmers in Michigan have switched
their affections TO beets because they
get greater profits on their investment
and the element of risk does not enter
so heavily into their calculations. They
have learned that while it costs more
to grow beets than it does wheat or
any of the coarse grains, the returns
are five and six times those received
from the other staples. The usual re-
turn from an acre is double the tilling
cost. That is to say, it costs the farm
ers $35 an acre to harvest his beets and
it crosses him $40, leaving him hand
some profit.
The manufacturers in Michigan have
encouraged the industry by their liber-
atty in dealing with the farmers. The
farmer does not have to pay out cent
of his own money for cultivation of his
own crop, as it is all financed for MIN.
Seed is supplied him at cost and ne is
always assured OF a market for what
he grows.
California should wake up and put
Michigan back in the second place as
producing State.-Bee.

PROSPECTS FOR ELECTRICITY
Reclamation Service May Build
Transmission Line From Its
Carson River Plant.

Mayor George Sherman is in receipt
of the following letter from the secre.
tary of the interior, which is self-ex.
planatory
"The joint letter signed by you and
the three Counciinen of the City OF
Fallon, dated July 3, is received, rela-
tive to securing electric power from
the Carson River dam for the lighting
of the City Of fallon.
This matter was recently brought
TO the attention of the Department
nv Senator Nixon, who has been adj
yised that the construction of power
plant to deliver approximately 1000
kowatts upon the switchboard near
the Lahontan dam site is now under
way; contracts for machinery and ap-
pliances have been let and work is now
in progress FOR their installation. The
primary object of this power plant is
TO furnish necessary power for the
construction Of storage cam at the
Lahontan site. This will be construct
ed in such manner as to make it a
permanent installation, if this is found
desirable in The future.
THE Reclamation Service has, for
some time been considering the advisa-
bility of constructing transmission
line to transmit the surplus power to
the vicinity Of Fallon, for use in
necessary pumping operations, and
also to supply such commercial needs
as may develop. Estimates along this
line are now in preparation, and will
soon be presented to the Department,
at which time full consideration will
be given to the problem in all its
phases"
Very respectfully,
SAMUEL ADAMS.
Acting Secretary.
