The French government is the first to adopt
definite program in the effort to reduce the nigh
cost of living. The government will submit bill
to the legislative bodies providing for municipal
shops at which the people can obtain food sup
plies. The government is TO advance half the capi
tai required for such shops and charge four per
cent interest for its use. Such shops are not to
exceed one for 5000 of the population, The
French government thinks that high prices are
partly due to waste in distribution, so monopoly
and to combinations among commission men and
other merchants. Every one seems to be taking
whack at the middlemen.

to the Internal Revenue Department Of

tion. This law has recently been de
clared constitutional by the Supreme
Court OF the United States and every
effort is being made to enforce it.
Owing to the fact that this is the first
year any attempt has been made to en-
force the Act, probably accounts for
the large number of delinquent corpora
tions.

Lexington bought the king Of the herd.
Noble of Oaklands, for SIS, 900, the
record price for Jersey bull. Haggin,

for $1,000. against sharp competition.
This is said to be the highest price ever

DRY FARMERS CONFIDENT
Much Seeding Has Been Done in
Humboldt County and Good
Crops Are Expected

Winnemucca Star: The growth of
crops planted on the dry ranches east
and south Of this town this Spring will
be watched with considerable interest.
II the farmers who have planted are
successful in their experiments, IL
means that every acre of Government
ground In this entire section of Nevada
will soon be taken up and cultivated.
A "Star" reporter was out several
days ago to see how crops were coming
on. On one ranch, where quite a
variety Of seed had been planted, alfalfa
was just breaking through the ground.
Lettuce, radishes and onions were get
ting a good start. Kaffir corn. millet
and other seed was expected to shoot
up through the ground in few more
days.
More potatoes than anything else had
been planted by all the dry farmers
because it is believed that they can
be grown without irrigation better than
most other crops One farmer who had
known Of fine potatoes being raised
near Ely without irrigation had felt so
certain Of getting a good crop that he
had planted quite large patch.
II. J. Cooper, agent of the Western
Pacific, is one Of the locators. He said
to "Star" man: "Old-timers all say
you can't raise anything around here
without irrigation, but l haven't been
able yet to find anybody who has ever
tried it," Mr.. Cooper is familiar with
dry farming in Utah, where it is carried
on successfully in sections which he
believes less favorable than this, and
he is so confident that it can be made
to pay here that he has located 800
acres and seeded large patch to
potatoes. He was up to his land two
or three days ago and found the po.
tatoes were sprouting nicely.

WRECK OF THE MAINE
Big Cofferdam About the Hulk Is Now
Almost Complete

Without precedent in engineering
practice and projecting only foot or
two above high tide level the cofferdam
built around the wreck of the battleship
Maine in Havana harbor is assured Of
success in the opinion of Army engi.
neers. The land locked harbor is not
disturbed by high waves, and engineers
say that if the dam should ever be
threatened with flooding from the top
its height could be easily augmented.
Pumping out of the water probably
will begin about June 10. 1t has been
delayed because some of the steel rails
driven to interlock the circulsr tubes
that make the wall were bent, permit
ting water to pass through. Limited
facilities handicap strengthening these
rails.
Ii is believed that some leaks will de-
yelop as the water level in the dam is
lowered. but that is true of all large
dams. and the leaks can be controlled.

SECURE LAND ON THE DESERT
Tonopah Man Acquire 10000 Acres
Under the Carey Act

One of the largest reclamation pro.
jects undertaken in Nevada was re-
corded at the State Land Office at Car
son Saturday when party OF business
men Of Tonopah filed on 10S. 200 acres
of land under the Carey Act. The land
lies ON the fats below Tonopah and
near the town of Millers. and extends
north to the San Antoine Valley. Ex-
periments in that vicinity have proven
that water can be secured by artesian
methods at little depth. 1t is believed
that an underground river can be
tapped.
1t is understood that as fast as water
can be secured in sufficient quantities
the land will be sold to settlers in
practically the same manner as was
observed in aud around Las Vegas. In
that section thousands of acres were
taken up under the Carey Act and a
number of sections are now under
cultivation.

started in the attic OF the mill and that

friction Of the machinery.
The fire was first discovered about 2
O'Clock by Mrs. Osilvie. who lives about
a quarter Of mile from the mill. She
phoned to Mrs. Williams, whose
husband was running the mill. The
latter notified Mr.. Williams and he
started up stairs TO the fire, but was
