Irrigating by Use of Pumps

James A. Davis and F. r. Shriver
are beginning the cultivation of small
tract of land on the fiat near Oreana
station, and will irrigate the lands by
means Of pumping. says the Lovelock
Tribune. They have installed a six
horsepower engine and a centrifugal
pump, with which to raise the water
from we'll out onto the land. They
will need to raise the water eight feet,
and have figured that the proposition
will be profitable one. The first crop
will be vegetables and garden prod uce.
it being their intention next season if
the venture proves successful. to clear
more land and put in hay crop.
Their land is very rich and the outcome
of the project will be watched with
interest. Several hundred thousand of
acres in Humboldt County awaits
development and only needs the life-
giving water to be as valuable as the
high-priced lands in the irrigated
regions.

GASOLINE IN SOLID FORM
Fuel to Take Motor Car Twelve
Hundred Miles Can Now
Be Carried

A London dispatch says that if a
motorist had been told three years ago
that it would be possible to carry suf-
ficient petrol or gasoline in his waist.
coat pocket to carry him from London
to Brighton he would probably have
smiled incredulously.
Indeed, when it was announced last
November that solid petrol had been
rendered commercially possible. some
scientific" papers pooh-poohed the
idea. Nevertheless solid petrol is a
practical fact and Its uses were demon
strated recently. The new invention
makes 1t possible for a motor car to run
1900 miles without stopping, carrying
its petrol supply in a brownpaper parcel.
Solid petrol has the appearance of
dirty ice. II is carried in Jumps in a
neat box at the side of the car, and this
small box will carry an amount of solid
petrol corresponding to 40 gallons Of
petrol in its liquid state.

an ordinary gallon tin. 1t is perfectly
safe. and when ignited burns with a
steady glow, similar to the fame of a
candle.
From the motorists point of view
solid petrol will commend itself from
the fact that it does away entirely with
the carburetor. which often proves
troublesome. But solid petrol holds out
other advantages for the future. When
the question Of the internal combustion
engine for Dreadnoughts becomes more
prominent, this new substance should
figure in the solution OF the fuel problem.
The ship Of the future will be fitted
with large solid petrol bunkers, which
will store sufficient petrol to carry her
round the world. 1t is doubtful whether
even If the bunkers were pierced by a
shell. the solid petrol would be set on
fire.
Its exact composition is, of course. a
secret. 1t contains so per cent of ordi-
nary petrol. percentage of soapy mat.
ter, and / per cent of foreign sub
stance which gives it solidity.

Hartman Lines to
Be InV0ntOried

Plans for taking one of the biggest
inventories in history were discussed
recently at Denver, Colorado. by the
engineers of all railroads belonging to
the Hartman system. A complete
valuation of the entire system, involv-
in the list of everything from bolts and
steel rails to cars. buildings and fran
chises of more than 10000 miles of
track, will be taken. 1t will probably
require two or three years time.
E. Holbrook of Chicago. who is in
charge of the stupendous work, pre-.
sided at the meeting. The work. it is
stated. is already under way, and the
meeting was for the purpose of arrang-

Grape Culture In Nevada

Two carloads of grape slips were ship
ped to Imlay, Humboldt County. re.
Gently and hauled to Buena Vista Val.
ley, where they were planted. Several
gasoline engines have also been taken
to the same locality TO be used in irri.
eating vines, water being pumped from
the ground. a bounteous supply having
been found.
The grapes grown will be Of the
wine varieties. and they are believed
to be hardy enough to grow well and
yield abundantly if properly cultivated,
which they undoubtedly will be, as
the farmers who are planting them are
thrifty Italians from California, who
made careful investigation Of the
Buena Vista Valley before they de-
cided to form their colony there.
There are about 100 settlers. and
their colony is about Is miles southeast
of Inlay. 1t is their intention to make
viticulsure speciality. and will con.
vert their crops into wine. They are
making garden out of what was
until short time ago nothing but q
barren waste. This is believed to bs
the first attempt at viticulture on any
important scale in Nevada.

The Editors Heaven

An editor who died Of starvation
after making DIR. Tanner ashamed oi
himself, was being escorted to heaven
by an angel who had been sent for that
purpose.
MAY l look at the other place, be-
fore we ascend to eternal happiness?"
Easily" said the angel.
So they went below and skirmished
around taking in the sights. The
angel lost sight Of the editor, and
went around hades to hunt for him.
He found him sitting by furnace fan
ming himself and gazing with rapture
upon lot of people in the fire. There
was sign on the door which said, "De'
linquent Subscribers.
Come" said the angel. 1--WE must be
going"
"You 60 on" said the editor. I'm
not coming. This is heaven enough fol

BARBER OUTDOES SPECIALIST
Eyesight Is Restored To Man
Who Has Been Blind For
Ten Years

After trying in vain to have his sight
restored by specialists in Vienna, Ber.
lin and New York, @. d. Cunning ham.
wealthy mining man of Los Angeles.
was suddenly cured of a ten-year blind
ness in barber shop at Fourth and
Mission streets Saturday evening while
having his face massaged. What the
famed oculists of Europe and the East
had failed to do was accomplished by
the accidental manipulation of a barber.
Cunningham is staying at the Argo-
naut hotel and is well known here.
While working in Nevada mine ten
years ago he was all but totally blinded
by premature blast, losing the COM
plete sight Of one eye and injuring the
other so badly that he could scarcely see
By peculiar irony of fate the blast
which lost him his sight won him a
fortune. The mine proved to be valu-
able aud he sold it-but Cunningham
had to begin spending. trying specialist
after specialist. He went to New
York and from there to Vienna and
Berlin. but all his efforts were fruitless,
and he returned to California with a
prospect of spending the rest of his
days blind.
81 entered the barber shop to get
shaved" he said. 'but was prevailed
upon to have my face massaged. The
barber used the ordinary electrical
massage apparatus. AS he passed it
under my totally blind eye something
seemed to shoot through the back of
my eye and instantly 1 knew had re.
covered my sight"
Cunningham's yell of delight caused
a near panic in the barber shop. He
danced around wildly, but managed to
calm down sufficiently to explain that
he wanted the other eye treated in the
same manner. The result was fully as
extraordinary. The electrical vibra.
tions. it seemed, had revived a par.
alyzed nerve.
Il see, see T. shouted Cunningham,
dancing around in feeDzy of delight.
Cunningham burst into the Argonaut
hotel like a whirlwipd. The cane
which he formerly carried he discarded.
Grabbing a newspaper. he held it at
arms length aud began to read.
II can read ~ he shouted. His
friends, who realized that he had re-
covered his sight, attempted to calm
him. but he pushed them aside and
ran into the street to look around upon
the world. which practically had been
closed to him for ten years. He ran
along Market street almost beside him.

hour later that he could be persuaded

Rancher. Harvesting the Streams

Carson Appeal: Will Adams. one of
the progressive farmers of Carson Val
ley. has inst finished the installation
Of a modern electric plant at his home
farm near Genoa. The creek that
leads to the farm has been harnessed
and plant that furnishes from 20 to
40 horse power is not only lighting the
entire home and barn but it is also
used to work pump at the river,
where additional acreage will soon be
put under cultivation. Nearly every
farm in the valley is now supplied with
electric power either from their own
streams or from the electric company.
The farmers realize the general utility
of the mysterious juice and it is gener-
ally being put to work for many pur'
poses that were deemed impossible O

TO EXPLAIN new LAW
Circular Letter Will Be Sent to
Nevada Merchants Regarding
Weights and Measures

Reno Journal: Within the next
week or ten days Prof. S. G. Dinsmore
of the Nevada Agricultural Experiment
Station will Issue a circular letter for
the benefit of the merchants and the
general consumers as well, Of the State.
explaining the technical points of the
Weights and Measures bill, as intro
duced by Assemblyman Frank Mayors
in the last Legislature, and which has
since become law. Prof. Dinsmore
has been preparing the circular for
the last two weeks and has about
completed his labors The letter will
be very interesting to both the dealers
and consumers in that it goes into every
little detail of the new law which is
intended to do away with the misrep-
resentation of weights of commodities
sold to the general public.
1t has been discovered that the new
law will not effect goods that are packed
outside Of the State. This means that
all commodities in cans or packages
need not be labeled with the true weight
If they have been prepared and packed
by foreign concern.
However. an exception is made of
is the intention of the commission in
charge to strictly enforce the provision
relating to the above mentioned articles.
especially the selling Of butter. All
rolls or packages of this dairy product
must be plainly marked with the exact
weight and any and all violations will
law. Particular attention will be paid
TO the wood and coal industry. for the
new legislation calls for the present tation
OF a statement in writing Of the exact
amount of wood or coal delivered to a
purchaser who has contracted for a
stated amount. This will mean that in
the future a ton of coal will weigh 2000,
aud that the day Of the short weight
has passed.
The enforcement Of the Weights and
Measures law will start on June /, aud
on that date Prof. Dinsmore and his
assistants will be prepared to take mp
their new duties. As the bill carried
an appropriation of $1,000 for the next
two years. the money will be expended
in the employment of an additional
assistant. The director Of the expert
ment station has employed Prof. Silas
Ross to fill the new position and Mr..
Ross has already made preparations to
take up his new duties. While the
work will be superintended by Prof.
Dinsmore. Miles Kennedy, now an as
sistant in carrying out the work Of the
Pure Food and Drug Commission, will
also assist.

together with DIR. Gardner, who will be
retained as the regular physician for the
reservation Indians. will perform opera
tions on the eyes of those children
where trachoma has not advanced to
that stage where the operation would
do no good.
In this way it is hoped that a number
Of the children can be saved from blind
ness that would otherwise be inevitable
In the future the medicine man will
no longer invoke his incantations on the
reservation. for the Government has
decreed that reputable physician shall
correct where possible the ills of the
