NEVADA LANDS
LIKE A MAGNET

X. \. Mckay, chief clerk in State En-
Journal that never in the history of the
State SAYS Mr. Mckay, has there been
such scramble to appropriate water and
secure prior rights i'll water for the pur
poses of irrigation and reclamation
Applications are coming in, especially
from Elko, HUMBOLDT and some from
White Pine county, at the rate of from
six to eight day. These make the
State Engineers force hustle to keep
business disposed of
Assistant Engineer Won Nagel is in
the field holding hearings and making
examinations almost continually.
The condition is one of the surest in
dicatious that Nevada is on the boom
from an agricultural point of view APP
plicants come from Massachusetts, from
Canada, from Utah and a halfdozen
other places and they are seeking to
divert and appropriate water from every
available stream, even the most minute
water course. In many cases where in
dividuals are concerned, water is diverted
for long distance to irrigate farm as
small as 100 acres. and every case means
another family for Nevada.
Some of these applications are under
the Carey Act and others under the
water law TO date over 1000 applica-
lions have been filed some of which
have been adjudicated and disposed of,
but some remain for completion.
The Carey Act law makes provision to
require those working under it to deposit
sufficient money to cover expenses of
surveys, inspection, etc. and i'll addi-
ton small sum per acre is required for
the land. This goes to the State
treasury.
Mr.. Mckay SAYS that. Judging from
the applications which are coming in, it
will not be long before any tillable or
reclaimable land is left in Nevada. After
that the demand for land will he re
Elected i'll increasing prices for the land.
In the last ten years land values in
creased over $50 per cent and in the
next ten years the values should increase
200 to 500 per cent.

THE ALFALFA
WEEvIL DANGER

III 1904 the entomoloeist of the Utah
Agricultural Experiment Station discov-
cred weevil i'll an alfalfa field near Salt
Lake City which had not been known in
this country before that time Since
then this insect (Phytonomus murinus)
has spread in all directions over large
territory and threatens to extend its raw
ages throughout the alfalfa country.
At recent meeting of the Biological
Society of Washington, Francis NJ. Web
ster, of the United States Department of
Agriculture, gave an account of the life
history of the beetle and of its methods
of diffusion. The eggs are laid i'll the
Young stems of the alfalfa plants and as
soon as the grub matches out it climbs to
the growing tip and feeds on the tender
leaves, preventing the growth of the
plant. AS the season advances the adult
beetles are found feeding or the plant,
gnawing through the bark and killing
them. 1t is estimated that the damage
done by this beetle in Utah during the
past season amounts to $500, 600.
The adults conceal themselves in baled
hay, i'll packing material and cases, i'll
cracks of freight cars, etc, so that they
are being carried rapidlyin all directions
by the regular channels of commerce.
In addition to this the flying adults are
rapidly carried about by wing. No
means have been found for fighting this
new enemy of one of the most important
of our crops. Frogs and toads seem to
be the only natural enemies i'll this coun-
try, and these cannot be relied on to be
of much assistance in the comparatively
dry regions where the alfalfa is raised.
The birds do not seem to relish them,
and no insect enemies have been found.
The larvae of similar forms III the East
ern States have been successfully COM
these do not seem to attack the Larvae of
the lucerne weevil.
The seriousness of this new danger
may be realized when il is considered
that in several of the Western States the
alfalfa crop means the farmers chief or
even sole source of cash. The cultiva-
ton of alfalfa has developed so rapidly
that the government statisticians have
been unable to determine its value from
year to year with any degree of accuracy
For 1908 the value of this crop was esti-
mated by the experts as being over
Sl00, 600 000.-Scientific American.

ELECTRIC POWER
ON NEVADA RANCH

S. NJ. Davis, of Starr Valley, Elko
count, is one of the men of this State
who is taking advantage of a few Of the
many resources Nature has placed at ON
door. SAYS the Elko Free Press.
Mr.. Davis recently visited Elko to in
troduce his butter, as he is now making
more than his limited market could care
for. He was surprised when one of the
local business ileu offered to contract all
the butter he could make and would not
contract for less than 200 pounds per
week.
Mr.. Davis has his entire residence,
barn and outbuildings brilliantly lighted
with electricity generated by water
power at his very door, and the light he
gets from a small dynamo puts the cleo
trio lights Of IIlko to shame. The water
is taken from the stream at point above
his home, and run to a small reservoir
and from which it is piped underground
to Pelton water wheel which is capable
of generating S0-horse power, but at
present only two is developed, which is
sufficient for his needs With this power
he runs 30-light dynamo, grindstone.
feed mill, woods saw, washing machine
and model dairy, which is equipped
with cream separator, churn tester, but
ter worker, butter mold, etc.
This dairy is indeed a model. The
building is cemented walls and floor,
with living spring of cold pure water
flowing in at the end MANY of the fix
lures of this room are products of Mr.
Davis skill as an inventor and me
chanic, and they seem to be just what is
needed. His barn is arranged for "a
cows, with cemented floors and drain
at the back to flush out the stalls with
water, making them absolutely clean
His house is brilliantly lighted with
electricity, fitted with hot and cold water,
bath room, etc, which makes a farm
house of above the average for conven.
fence and comfort. He has six acres in
fruit trees, some in bearing; an apiary
with $50 stand OF bees, with all the mod
ern appliances for caring for the honey,
which brings him in considerable rev
euue. And best of all a big, happy,
Coutented healthy family of children.

The rats OF taxation for tho City Of
New Ulm q computed By the county
auditor amounts TO Al mills; in other
words, . tax Of al for every $1,000 Of
assessed property. OF this amount,
s7.8S 10 paid to the State tor revenue
and school purposes; sl3 goes to the
general school fund; 1912 goes to the
County for revenue, poor, road,
bridge and ditch funds; the City
streets eat up % OF the al. SLIGO is
paid to the interest and sinking fund;
SLIGO to the Fire Dept; Sl.6O to the
waterworks fund and s1.2O for State
loans.
It will be readily seen from this
compilation that Of every al taxes
paid, 87.88 goes to the State. 1912 to
the County and the balance, s27, is
expended for our schools and the
government of the City. 1t is
generally asserted and almost as
readily conceded that our taxes are
too high. Admitting for the sake of
argument that the taxes are excessive,
the question that will then confront US
10 how they can be materially reduced.
A discussion of this matter may be
timely and the columns of the Review
will be open to any one who has
suggestions to offer germane to the
matter under discussion.

It has been customary for years tc
draw conclusions from the off year
elections in November and to forecast
! from such results the trend of the
minds of people in matters political.
There has been a tendency in recent
years for the voter to break away
from party lines and this tendency is
on the increase, as recorded by the
votes cast at Tuesdays election.
That Socialism is on the increase and
that people will fight corruption
irrespective of party are also conclu-
sions which the recent elections would
justify. With possibly New Jersey as
an exception, the progressive spirit
has beer in the lead and has achieved
signal victories. Tammany has
suffered rebuke at the hands of the
voters of New York and Arthur P.
German, Jr. met with a crushing de-
feat in Maryland and his hopes Of
fastening his machine upon the state
by means of constitutional amendment
60 glimmering. Kentucky and Mis-
sissippi remain in the Democr attic
column as does Nebraska in the Re-
publican and New Mexico will, to all
intents and purposes, be controlled by
the Democratic party. Tom John
sons street car policy won out in
Cleveland and Cincinnati repudi ated
the rule of Boss Cox. Philadelphia
vote indicates a desire on the part
of the people to shake off the label,
corrupt and contented". Socialist
mayors were elected in Schenectady,
N. Y, and in ten smaller cities in Ohio.
The Socialist vote in Los Angeles,
altho not enough to elect, 1.-THE law
there requiring majority of all votes
to elect, was the largest cast for any
party candidate for mayor and their
chances of winning out at subse-
quent election are OF the brightest.
It goes without saying that the pro-
gressive spirit is in the asceudency
and that is hopeful sign. The Re.
publican party is SO hopelessly divi-
ded that the result of the election will
hardly bring them any consolation.
The Democrats may, if their leaders
show the proper political acumen,
take advantage of the situation as the
same has been silhouetted on the poll
tical horizon by the recent election
and win out in 1912. If they fail to
heed the handwriting on the wall the
socialist vote may increase sufficient
ly to make the outcome extremely
r Ouhtful s..7-

The Presidents Trip.

Among politicians, the only aspect
of the Presidents trip across the
country and back is the one that has
to do with it's effect on the voters of
the country. Did he gain votes? is
what they ask.
Impartial scrutiny of the situation
seems to result in the conviction that
the president made friends everywhere.
Whether the opposition to him ia Gin
surgent" communities has been over
come is q matter of doubt, but un-
questionsbly it is a good thing for the
President to show himself to the people
he serves and to tell them what are his
views on questions of large public
policies.

A friend thought the ''Puddin head
Msxims" We published last week *
good that he brought US in q list o
quotations which he says are all from
Shakespeare. Not being very we'll up
on Shakespeare we take his word for
it and publish the list herewith:
"We are such stuff a. dreams ART
made Of, and our little life is rounded
With Sleep
That which We have we prize not to
the worth"
"Honest plain words best pierce the
ear OF grief"
IA jest's prosperity lies in the ear
of him that hears it, never in the
tongue of him that makes it,
"a golden mind stops not to shows
of dross."
"From lowest place where virtuous
things proceed, The place is digni6ed
by the doer's deed.
''The silence OF pure innocence per-
suades, when speaking fails"
"The purest treasure mortal times
afford, is spotless reputation.'
"The earth, that's natures mother,
is her Tomb
"There is tide in the affairs Of
men, which taken at the food leads
on to fortune,
Omitted all the voyage of their life is
bound in shadows and in miseries."
"Men's evil manners live in brass;
their virtues we write in water"
1t is the purpose that makes strong
the VOW
''Men's natures wrargle with inferi-
or things, tho great oues are their
object -
"Praising what is lost, makes the
remembrance dear.''
For who not needs, shall never
lack friend"
''T' is not the many oaths that make
the truth, but the plain single vow
that is vowed true
Love sought is good, but given
unsought is better.''
"Our content is our best having"
''Daffydils' By Gil
If the Sheriff needs a matrOn, why
doesn't Julius Caesar?
Because Ochs keeps ties, need the
calf keep bunting?
If the Eagle Mills, can the Mayor
stop it?
If Italy destroys all Turkey and
Greece, will there be Thanksgiving
and brown gravy?
If the coke-bill doubles in winter,
why doesn't Bill Koch?

Dis.rict Court 4 Redwood Fails.

Court reporter w. II. Eckstein r.
turned Monday night from Redwood
Falls whore no had bean in attendance
at the fall term Of Redwood County's
District Court He reports . very light
calendar. Only three jury cases were
tried. The case Of the Northwestern
Automobile Co. against E. H. Albrecht
and H. NJ. Ball Of Morgan and Sheriff
julius Of this county may be Of interest
to our readers because it grows out Of
the automobile business carried on BY
West, the defaulting bank cashier OF
the State Bank Of Golden, The action
az we understand it was brought for
the purpose OF collecting from =. H.
Albrecht the value of the automobile
he had bought from West. Albrecht
had paid the money to the State Bank
Of Golden, but this availed him
nothing as the Judge instructed the
jury that they must find in favor Of
the automobile company. The jury
however returned verdict for about
S4OO less than claimed by the plaintiff.
The next move, no doubt will be for
Albrecht to try to recover from the
State Bank of Golden and West.
Albert Pfaender OF this city appeared
for the plaintiff. The last Jury case
tried was blind pig case and the jury
was still out when Mr.. Eckstein left
for home. He predicts disagreement.
He returns to Redwood Falls Thursday
when q court case will be tried.
