80 to 100 inches and, as it seemed t
constantly increase, drilling was con-
estimated at 100 inches and Matz-

Poet FROM THE UPPER
VALLEY comes BACK

Some time ago your correspondent
Complained of the muddy roads in
verse,
And | understand some of your read
Allowed they were bad. but the
verse was worse.
Howe're that be. in a later paper
You spoke of contest and priz
To the lucky poet who in writing
Could above the other poet rise.
Time went on, there came poem
From writer termed the Lower
Valley Bard"
He offered solution and examples
OF how the roads might be kept
hard.
But going deep in the discussion,
His poem was verses longer than
my own,
So the purpose of this poem is
The shortness of the first ones to
atone.
Now poetic natures like not delay.
SO please announce the verdict
soon;
The prize we have already guessed
Three weeks subscription to the
Lovelock Tribune.
In continuation of and appertafn-
ing to the stanzas above, l offer the
following, with apologies to some
well known poet.
Hover 1t be, 1t seems to me
Tis folly for the hobo to saw wood
Without first tasting his compen-
sation
And making sure that it Is good.

The animal jumped out from behind
brush entirely unexpectedly and
Mr.. Berry said he thought he was
up against a mountain lion; the H.

LOVELOCK is NOT
BEHIND THE BEST
MITS OWN LINE
Excellent Descriptive Article From,
Pen of Reu. McANen appears
in Special Edition of the
Los Angeles Times

The following description of the
Lovelock valley is from the pen of
Rev. Andrew McAlien and was writ
Angeles Times of January 18th, 19l
Angeles Times, of January 18th,
1911:
The Lovelock Valley Is situated
between the Trinity range on the
west and the Humboldt range on
the east. in Humboldt county, Ne
vada. 1t Is on the main line of the
Southern Pacific Railway, fifty-five
miles cast of Hazen, thereby bring
ing 1t In direct touch with the Los
! Angeles markets on the completion
OF the lew cutoff now being COM
pleted to Hazen, where 1t joins the
main line. That portion of the val
ley how under cultivation and irri-
cation, and what will be brought
under irrigation on the completion
of the enlarged irrigation system
how in progress, comprises about
| 900 acres. Forty thousand acres
are now in cultivation in high
state, making 1t already the richest
irrigation district in the state of Ne
| vada.
A concrete retaining dam is
about completed which will store
! 10000 acre feet of water, thereby
bringing under irrigation anothe
80, 900 acres of virgin so.s There
is no richer or more productive land
! to be had In any portion OF the
| country, and there is not more
prosperous farming region, or an
easier money maker, than the Love-
, lock country. Little has been
known of this vicinityon the outside,
because all the irrigable land
where water could be had has been
taken up, and for the furthur reas-
on that the settlers are satisfied
that nowhere could they go and
make a better farming investment.
/ Men have become rich from the
products of this soil and today some
of the wealthiest ranchers of the
West aro.ramong the Lovelock ranch
ers The soil is black loan,
running to the consistency of a rich
peat in many places. Here alfalfa
abounds, and wheat Is extensively
profitably grown, the ranchers dispo
ing of their product at the Lovelock
Roller Mills. The land truly flows
with honey, eleven cars of this pro
duce being shipped by the beemen
| this season. Fifteen hundred cars
of sheep and cattle are handled
through the Lovelock office yearly
for the markets, so that the Love
lock Valley can justly lay claim to
being the greatest stock-feeding
point in the West for Pacific Coast
points Land values are at the pres
ent running from 500 to $50 per
acre, with very little on the market
However, there will be opportunities
for home seekers on the opening up
of the new territory on the compile
tion of the enlarged irrigation sys-
tenn. To say that irrigation costs
, less than a dollar per year per acre
sounds ridiculous to the uninitiated,
but such has been the experience of
the ranchers in the Lovelock Valley

day following the murder, Is sill

seems to be a reasonable theory tha
this third man, whoever he may have
been, secured the $1,000 which Mrs

Uric is endeavoring to shield him fo
the present in the hope that he may
come to his rescue by putting up tn
money for his defense.
At the conclusion of the eXamina

AN EARLY MORNING SCARE.
Clerk at sargent's Drug Store Gets
Confused Upon Entering

Upon entering the Sargent drug
store early this morning, H. q. White,
one of the clerks OF the house, became
confused by the reflections seen in the
many mirrors IN the store. Somewhat
wary because of the activities Of the
bandit in the city, he imme diateiy
thought that the store was being
robbed. and after turning the lights
on, he reported the occurrence to the
police department. Investigation
proved, however, that nothing in the
store was disturbed, and the suppo-
sition that robbers had visited the
place. was without foundation. The. re-
port that the store was robbed, after
due consideration, was vigorously de-
MED by Mr.. Sargent and Mr.. Parks.
