TAKE A TRIP
TO ALPINE

One of the most interesting and
enjoyable trips for motorists OF this
Valley is run to Alpine county
Almost from the moment that
the Blssman's ranches are
passed, the scenes are vastly
different. The West Fork of the
Carson river tumbles down its
rock course with much beauty and
Just below Heimsoth's, this stream,
with the picturesque surroundings
made by the road winding around
large cliff of lava formation with
roaring, foaming water below as it
threads it way through the gorgue
ma kes a peculiar fascinating scene.
In few moments ride you are
whirled beneath the big pine
trees whose breath is exceedingly
refreshing during these warm days.
Woodfords furnishes an ideal place
for a day of recreation and splend-
id accommodations are to be had
at the Merrill hotel.
Should you desire TO go on, you
have the choice of two roads. A
twenty minutes drive will land
you in Hope Valley, which Is visit
ed annually by people who drive
four days t. get shere. Some OF
the best trout fishing TO be had is
found in Hope Valley.
The other road will carry syou
past the old sawmill and on down
the canyon to Markleeville, the
little town that is hidden in the
5ierras. 1t is a pleasing little
burg and an i Ieal place to spend
the day. The old mills on the
river are within easy distance and
a kodak will enable you to secure
many interesting pictures.
The road into Alpine is fine, the
grades can be negotiatedlby the
lightest car and a trip to those
parts will be one grand JOY ride
from start to finish.

FARMING ON
THE DESERT

The Emmons, Smith and Arm
slroug company has made arrange
ments TO drill for artesian water on
their land, about SIX miles north
west Of Tonopah and the equip
ment installed will be capable of
sinking 1000 feet.
The services OF an expert driller
have been secured. The company
has plenty OF surface water, but
they are eontiGent OF securing an
artesian flow, and if they can it
will do away with the cost of
pumping.
This company has had bad luck
this year with their farming
Everything planted came up in
nice shape and showed thrift, but
the rabbits were in such numbers
that they destroyed everything but
tue potatoes. One acre was plant
ed to this later and they are doing
fine and a good crop is Hooked for.
The company will put in a wire
fence around their improved
ground this winter in order to
guaro themselves against these
ong-eared pests next spring and
the hackers feel confident that they
will be supplying the local marke t
next year with a fine line OF vege-
tables.
Residents of Millers are also
taking interest IN the proposition
to farm the Smoky Valley. Super
intendent Jones of tie Belmont
mill at lhat place, and Dale Eros q,
merchants OF Millers, with numer-
oa5 others, are interested in 800
acres of ground in the Valley sur

County were presented to the Court.
A. that time both Baker and Wood

grounds. They also filed objections
to the condition OF offering evidence
relative to those particular ballots.
Many authorities were cited in the
contention.
The Court this morning offered
rulings in several matters. The bal

The question OF cost was taken up.
This matter was not finished, but the

short stubble cooks the worms
since they thrive only where the
alfalfa furnishes shade and damp
ness.
1t is first noticed that boards OF
small yellow butterhys hover close
to the growing alfalfa. They de-
posit their eggs on the plant and
within few days the worm is
hatched.
Two years ago the pest appeared
during the second crop but it has
been some time since the first crop

SALT DEPOSIT

AT the eastern border Of eyaaa,
not many miles from Montello, on
the line of the Southern Pacific, is
what is believed TO be the greatest
deposit of pure salt in the world.
The Montello Salt Co., which owns
this property, has recently secured
favorable decision from the
Supreme Court Of the United States
quieting its title. The company
owns 10000 acres of salt land,
which varies from a few inches 10
Is feet in depth. This deposit is
traversed by the Western Pacific
railroad. Various estimates are
that there are 150,000,C00 tons, or
billion barrels of salt in the de-
posi-. 1t runs better than SO per
per cent pure. The principal
owners of the property are railroad
employees working for the Southern
and Western Pacific railroads.
Preparations are now being made
to load the salt. 1t viii be lifted
