LAND OFFICE COMMISSIONER
Is Notifying Local Water Users
Of Changed Status OF Their
Water Rights.

Numerous local water users have
been receiving departmental letters
during the last few days, apprising
them of the status of their government
water rights. In many instances the
rulings of the land office commissioner
come as a genuine surprise. In some
instances the water user is informed
of a change in the date of his water
right and he finds himself in the po-
sition of having to commence his pay
ments one year earlier than generally
supposed. In other instances local
water users are informed that the
5000 rate applies on all payments,
when they believed tn y were entitled
to the 5000 rate, having received as
signment of water rights presumed to
enjoy the low rate.
In still other notifications, genuine
surprises are dealt out in the announ-
cement that unless all charges are met
in conformity to the new rulings Of the
general land office commissioner. the
water rights concerned will be forfeit
ed, in which event no water would be
delivered until it is again restored to
entry and then under new rate to
still be determined
As a result of these new and some
what perplexing rulings numerous pro-
tests will go up from local water users
to the secretary of the interior, who
has ruled in all prior appeals affecting
local users in their favor and against
the general land office. With so short
a time intervening between now and
general payup day, which is March 3ist,
payments will necessarily have to be
made, but water users are planning 10
pay under protest and seek redress
from the secretary of the interior.
1t would seem that plain and well
defined rules should govern the adju-
diction of project water charges. As
matters stand there is neither heads
or tails in sight and confusion Is gener-
al.

1t is humorous, despite the serious
ness of the subject, to read of the
manner in which a heavy rainfall was
greeted last Friday in Oklahoma. For
the first time since August the ground
was wet enough to permit of ploughing,
as a result of the rainfall Friday and
Friday night. To celebrate the occas-
ion all sorts of unique affairs were
given and the mayor of Guthrie, joking
ly, proclaimed that no umbrellas should
be used. Many citizens took the edict
seriously, and refused to protect them
selves from the downpour, declaring
the rain was too scarce to allow a pre-
cious drop to go to waste.

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Hoy and L. w.


Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Hoy and L. w.
Balm came in yesterday from Eastgate.
They say stock is wintering nicely and
conditions generally highly satisfactory
in eastern Churchill county. Among
the important happenings in their dis
trict occurring lately is one having to
do with strike on the Gold Northern
group of claims near Eastgate, where d
rich ledge carrying high values of free
milling gold was uncovered last week
while crosscutting. Residents of the
Eastgate section confidently believe
that mining boom will be staged in
their locality during the present sea-
son.

On the back of hotel card issued b

the following bit of rhyme, set to tn
tune of America.
Nevada, It's of thee
Sweet State of Liberty,
Of thee l sing.
State where our fathers flee;
State that sets mothers free
Marriage, because of thee,
Has lost its sting.
My state that holds the key
That sets the shackled free,
| love thy name.
l love thy lawyers ways,
Thy dazzling Divorces,
The briefness of their stays
Their little game.
Reno, it is to thee,
Daughter of Liberty,
To thee we flee.
Long may thy streets resound
With freedoms joyful sound.
Scatter light around
From sea to sea.

A young lady, now living in Fallon,
Southern California raised, saw her
first hail storm Sunday. She was very
much interested. In describing the oc-
currence to a neighbor later, she said:
wasn't that an odd storm We had
this morning? Really | never saw
anything like it. Why it rained little
pills. Do such storms occur often
here?"

forced by the city and county health
authorities to prevent the spread of

A NEGRO MURDERER
WILL BE EXECUTED
(National News Association)

Charleston, S. c.. July THE exc
cution of Daniel Duncan. the negro
convicted about a year ago of the
murder of Max Lubelsky, takes place
this afternoon in the courtyard OF the
city prison. The murder OF Lubelsky,
a King street tailor. occurred on June
81 Of last year. He was found in his
shop senseless and lying in n pool of
blood. The only clue left by the muir
derer, whose motive was robbery, was
q bloody stick With which the crime
had been committed. A few weeks lat,
er. the widow OF the murdered man
WAS attacked In her husbands place
Of business in manner similar to that
which resulted in the death of Lubel-
sky. Duncan was seized outside the
store and recognized by neighbor
as the man in whose hands he had
seen the stick with which the tailor
was killed shortly before the murder
took place. The negro was tried and
convicted Of the crime. His case was
carried to the State supreme court,
which tribunal declined to interfere
with the verdict.

CROPS OF COUNTY
FARE QUITE WELL
Wheat Is Normal, Corn Not
So Good, but Oats Are AL
most Total Failure.

Larger and better quality yield in
the country this year is reported by
those who have threshed already.
Wheat testing out sixty pounds and
better to the bushel is not unusual and
a yield of from twenty to thirty bushels
has been general in many parts of
the county. OF course there are many
farmers who had rather poor results
but the majority did better than Gus
tomary Judging from the reports re-
'ceived by local milImen.
Corn has been damaged by the ex-
tremely hot weather and there are
many fields which are spotted and
the corn of most unequal growth, some
stalks being almost ready to tassle and
others not more than a foot to eigh-
teen inches high. The smaller stalks
have been literally burnt up and very
few will make any corn at all. Farm
ers are afraid that corn, despite its
splendid start this spring, will not
make much more than a half crop.
Oats likewise has been done poorly.
The potato crop generally will be a
failure. For some reason the stalks
grew well enough but the plants did
not bloom Consequently no tubers
were formed and SO little faith is put
on this crop All kinds of hay, incIud-
ing timothy. clover and alfalfa, have
done well. All crops were much beoe-
lifted hy tha Eain todaX

IN NEW YORK CITY.

New York, July 7.-Althougn the
fresh breeze sweeping on New York
from the northeast, attained velocity
of 20 miles an hour and gave brief
respite from the terrible heat that has
grilled the city since Saturday, the
death roll was increased hourly.
Up to a. M. eight additional deaths
had been reported, bringing the total
up to 149, the heaviest toll of human
lives ever taken by the weather in
New York. The storm which the
weather man had promised to relieve
the sufferings had been sidetracked,
although sections of the country on
all sides of New York had felt it's cool
ing effect.
At O'Clock the mercury in the
weather bureau stood at 81 degrees,
three higher than at the same hour
yesterday. Though the humidity had
dropped IL degrees to 50, scores of
prostrations were reported and the
ambulances were kept busy in all Sec
tions of the city.

ATLANTIC CITY A
CONGESTED PLACE
(National News Association)

Atlantic City. n. j., July 7.-During
the many years that Atlantic City has
held the premier place among the pop
ular Eastern coast resorts it is doubt
full if there ever was a time when it
entertained such an enormous crowd
as at the present time. The beaches
and the board walks were literally
black with people today and it will
probably be necessary for the hotels to
display Standing Room Only" signs
in their corridors during the remain
der of the week. The unprecedented
rush of visitors is due partly to the
presence of President Taft and the
great convention of Christian Endeav-
orers which he addressed today and
partly to the early arrival of hundreds
of delegates and visitors tS tha conven-
tion of Elks which is to hold fprth here
during the coming week. Justswhat the
local hotel men will do with the Chris
tian Endeavorers. the Elks and the or
dinary visitors who remainssver Sun
day they do not attempt to Jay.
