Obtaining Larger Mares.

Larger mares may be obtained by
crossing our small mares on regis
tered draft stations. Larger mules
can be raised by mating the offspring
to a pure Spanish jack that weighs
1 900 pounds or more. Large mares,
large Jacks, good permanent pastures.
and plenty Of feed means good mules
and millions Of dollars saved annually

ALFALFA PEST IN

The GardncrVilIc Record Courier

same that has made its appearance
in the valley at different periods
since the beginning Of alfalfa

do not feel serious alarm over the
situation. they are experimenting
with different methods Of cxtermi

The most effective method thus
far tri d is to keep the water off
the field after tie crop hes Jctr
removed. for at long a time as
possible. The hot sun on the
short stubUle cooks the worms
since they thrive only where the
alfalfa furnishes shade and damp.

ELKO RANGE WAR SETTLED

Associate Forester A. F. Potter

where he has been for the past
two weeks in conference with
catt!emcn and sheepmen of that

SHERIFF. HARRIS Old RIGHT

1t gives Us pleasure to publish
the following editorial from the
Wells Herald. Itrings true,
THE action. of Sheriff Joseph
c. Harris in raiding a gambling
game at Elko should meet with the
approval of the people of this
county, and here is no doubt that
the great majority of them will
uphold him in the suppression of
the games, which were running in
violation and defiance of the law.
Long ago he gave positive notice
that he would not tolerate gamb-
ling III this county, and that
whenever he secured sufficient
evidence he would act. For some
time the games at the Commercial
hotel had been in operation, but
the sheriff. had been unable until
last Friday to catch them in the
act. When the opportunity did
present itself he acted and without
fear of the. consequences. Some
people in Elko are putting up the
argument that the games should
not have been raided at that
particular time because there
happened to be some eastern
millonaires engaged behind locked
doors in violating the laws of
Nevada. They would have the
sheriff inform these millionaires
that they must not play. They
would nave him go to The gamb
ling games. tell them to get out of
the room and await some other
chance to catch the games in
operation. thusly comlrounding a
felony. No doubt these same
people would have him not modest
the Chinese who were playing be-
cause it might lead to compli-
cations with China. No doubt they
would have him not modest he
dealers hehind the games because
they were good fellows" those
millionaires had no right to be
there; they knew it was wrong to
gamble in Nevada. he very fact
that the doors were locked and the
game: secretly operated, taught
them that. If a man commits
murder, robbery, or any other
Crime. he cannot plead ignorance
of the law as an excuse and
neither can these eEsttin mil
lionaires plead ignoI ancc in this
case in cXtenuation Of their crime.
Sheriff Harris did RICH in raiding
the game: an opportunity had
offered itself when he could "get
the men with the goods" and he
is to be commended in his action.

GOVERNMENT MAY
CONSERVE FLOOD WATERS 5
s.. =. OF HUMBOLDT RIVER

That Humboldt county has a
wonderful future through the
possibilities OF land reclamation
had been demonstrated by govern
ment engineers who have surveyed
the land and made measurements
Of the water flow of the Humboldt
river the principal stream in the
State. 1t is not the normal flow
of water that is now used to
lrrigate the different ranches along
the river hut the surplus waters,
the greater part of which are now
practically going to waste. 1t is
understood. and the information
comes from reliable source, that
the recent tests made by the
government egineers show that
there is water enough goiug to
waste each year if it properly
handled would raise crops suffici-
eEt to. support at least million
more population than Nevada has
at. the present time. The Hum
boldt 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 Humboldt
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
comparatively small stream but in
the early sprin & the river spreads
its banks at least leo times its
natural width and under the
present system of irrigation this
water is allowed to go to waste as
there is no means of controlling
it.
1t is proposed by the govern
ment engineers TO conserve this
flood water by series of dams
and reservoirs covering the river
from one end to the other where it
is practicable to establish these
projects. The Humboldt valley
has the finest land in the State and
anything in the agricultural line
can be produced if properly put
unler irrigation and this is what
the government engineers propose
to do. With the exception of n
few favorable places along the
river the water at the present
time is used to irrigate hay land
or big stock ranches and this is
accomplished by using the flood
waters without any great exertion
on the part of the owners of this
land. With the government
irrigation project. as proposed by
the engineers in operation where
now is only narrow strip of land
under irrigation. there will be
farms covering many miles O
territory on each side Of the river.
This land is fine loamy soil
