cation Dispute.
By JUDsoN c. wELLIvER.

The sovereign authorities of the
United States and the State of Nevada
are In the way of real clash. Secre-
tary Fisher has issued an ultimatum to
the Governor Of Nevada. and the In
terror Department authorities are await
ing to see what will come of It.
Among nations, the ultimatum is q
fighting word, especially when It has
time limit on 1t. This one hasn't q
time limit, but It looks pretty serious.

governor has been addressed with just
the sort of threat that was aimed at
the Nevada authorities by the belliger-
ent Secretary Of the Interior.
It's all about Nevada irrigation COM
pany that IL charged with an effort to
circumvent the Carey Act. That law
provides that. to aid the states In re-
claiming desert lands. the Secretary of
the Interior shall convey lands to the
State when the State shows that It is
going to have them irrigated. This APP
