A GOOD TAKE-0FF ON ALFALFA
Rapchers Should Not Handle It
Unless They Wish to Be
Kept Busy

We hear a good deal about the value
of an alfalfa crop. Some people never
let up blowing about it. They tell you
il you feed it to your work team you
won't have to feed grain to keep them
fat; that it is worth pound for pound
as much as bran for feeding milk cows;
that it is fine for feeding beef cattle.
and also will tell you about the inn
mense crop you can make.
20 come off. Give us a rest. 1t
makes us tired. Isn't there another
side?'
In May just at the time you ought
60 be fixing your bitches or somethin &
of that kind you have to get out into
the field and cut the first crop. 1t sort
of worries you but you have to do it.
Then about the end of June Just when
you want to go fishing there's another
crop Of alfalfa to be cut and You
feel as il you ought to rest in
the shade along about the end of
that month but you have to go
get busy with that alfalfa again.
Along about the LIST Of September you
want to GO to camp meeting, swop
yarns, have q good time and in going
you have COTTON religion. But you
can't, there is that doggoned alfalfa
again. Ia October you want to go and
visit your wife's kinfolks or maybe to
the county fair and spend some of your
mouey, for you are about done with
most other crops. but you have to har-
vest another crop of this Internal alfalfa.
In November in desperation you turn
the cattle in on the field and they Craze
on 1t all Fall. Are You through then?
Heavens, no, you have got to spend all
Winter feeding it.
Markham makes wall about the
man with the hoe. He ought to shed
tears over the man with an alfalfa
ranch. If you want picture of solid
enjoyment see the man with the hoe
resting upon it and watching the weeds
grow. But the man with an alfalfa
ranch is a man to be mere machine
to transform alfalfa into bank account.
Is his soul to have no higher aspiration?
Don't be burdened with an alfalfa
ranch. II you are tired and need rest,
if you have all the money you want,
sell your alfalfa ranch to some one who
doesn't know any better than enjoyi De
seeing the stocks pile up. his horses,
cattle, sheep and hogs.fat. his wife and
children happy and contented ana him.

HUMBOLDT RIVER PROJECT
Government May Conserve Its Flood
Waters For Irrigation

Government engineers have surveyed
the land aud made measurements of the
water flow Of the Hum boldt river. the
principal stream in the State. IL is
understood that recent tests made by
the Government engineers show that
there is water enough going to waste
each year that IL properly handled
would raise crops sufficient to support
at least a million more population than
Nevada has at present. The Humboldt
river traverses the State for distance
OF nearly 400 miles. and during the
Spring Of the year an immense volume
Of water passes down the stream to the
Irmboldt sink, where it forms large
lake and finally evaporates or sinks into
the ground. The Humboldt river at this
time of the year is a compar atively
small stream, but in the early Spripg
the river spreads its banks at least 100
times its natural width, aud under the
present system of irrigation this water
is allowed to go to waste. as there is no
means of controlling it.

ELKO COUNTY FIRE BUGS
Rancher Carville, Who Had Five
Stacks Burned Last Week,
Meets Further Loss

Elko Independent Aug. 16: There
seems to be nest of fire bugs at SHELTON
that should be in the penitentiary. A
few nights ago they vented their spite
on Mr.. Ell Carville by burning FIVE
stacks of hay and last night two barns.
one nearly new that cost $500, aud q
stack of hay were set on fire and de-
stroyed.
the fire was discovered between 12
and o'clock. At l 80 this morning
Mr.. Carville was called up on the tele-
phone and informed of the fire. He
summoned Sheriff Harris and about
$3.50 the sheriff, Mr.. Carville and Ted.
left for the scene of the fire in Mr..
Boyce's automobile. They reached
there about sunrise aud began an in
vestigation.
From the reports we learn that two
or three saddle horses were shut ia the
barn by the party or parties that started
the fire. These horses run 10 the corral
at night aud the door of the barn is left
open for them TO go in and out. When
the fire was discovered last night the
horses were found in the barn and the
door was fastened on the outside. The
door was left open as usual last night
by the men on the ranch. The horses,
two or three sets Of harness and several
saddles were taken out Of the barn with.
out injury. A little pup in one of the
barns was burned. A pig pen and
chicken house were connected with one
Of the barns. The fire did not reach
them and the pigs and chickens were
saved. The loss will reach $500.
The fire was discovered by Mrs.
White who was awakened by the dogs
at the ranch making big fuss. She
got up and. while standing OIL the porch
the flames darted up from the barn.
Mr.. Carville is at a loss to account for
the burning of his property. He has
lived in Mound Valley about 40 years
and had no enemies SO far as he knows.
Mr.. White who has the ranch leased is
said to be very quiet man who at.
tsnds to his own business aud has no
enemies.

DON'T STOP TO INQUIRE
Business Doctor Says There Is
No Short Cut To a High
Salary

NO." said the Business Doctor to
the youngest clerk, 'there is no way to
rise rapidly to the top in this or any
other business. There is no short cui
to high salary. It's just the plain
road of doing all the work there is in
sight without stopping to inquire
whether it is your work or not. It's
just question OF assuming every re-
sponsibility that comes in reach.
81 know this route seems hard one,
but it's the only path. Be ready to-day
for the job you want tomorrow. Keep
everlastinRly at it, constantly at IT,,
constantly thinking of your duties in.
stead OF your rights. and almost before
you know success has come.
you don't know what it means to
own and operate business. You
don't understand what il is to spend
long sleepless nights and seemingly
endless days in the struggle for some
thing that seems never to come. To
set your eyes on the distant star Of
prosperity and shove steadily ON and
on, with the muscles Of your jaw so
tight that the lines cut there remain
for life. To fight with unfair compe-
tition and bad bills to gan foothold
in the business world. only to find that
you cannot relax your grip for mo-
ment because you cannot hire a man
at any price to do your work properly.
No, you don't understand this. or you
would feel differently toward the man
who employees you.
"Old Father Time. like little boy
with jackknife, has cut deep lines in
his grim face. but they are not lines
of i'll temper. but lines Of anxiety. OF
earnest searching for dependable em.
ployes. He is more anxious to give
you that raise than you are to receive
IL, but cruel disappointment after disap.
pointmept has made him wary.
"Show him what there is in you.
Pull hard for the interest OF the house.
Forget yourself for few years and try
to do something for him, to relieve him
of the care of your work, aud the raise
will come"

Taft'S VGtOeS Sustained

Washington, August iS.-After a
long debate on a motion to pass the
wool tariff revision bill over the Presi-
dents veto, the House late to-day failed
to pass the bill by the necessary two
thirds vote, the result being 227 to 1873.
This kills the wool bill.
The House failed to pass the free
list bill over the Presidents veto. the
vote being 226 to 1877. The two'thirds
majority necessary thus was not secured.

Subjected Man Released

After thoroughly questioning E. N.
Hanson, the man arrested for setting

lease him. Hanson answered all ques-

He cleared up what was thought to be
suspicious circumstances against him.
