There Is no intention on the part Of

with the new chain Of defenses cs-
tablished at the entrance to Baltimore

likelihood the fort would never be called
upon again for the defense Of Bal

Inventor Says Postofhce
Is Wasteful of Irvine

The House committee investigating
the Postoffice Department has an
rounced its intention to investigate the
contracts for binding Irvine used in the
various postoffices for tying mail
packets. This decision Of the commit
tee followed the testimony of David
Comfort, of Triton, Ga, the patentee Of
a mail tying device, who told the in
Vestigators that the department had re-
fused 20 recognize his invention, al
though he had offered to demonstrate
saving of 100000 per year.
The Comfort device, said the witness,
had been, tried out in the Philadelphia
postoffice and had been pronounced a
success.
An improper application of the appro-
priation for "jute twine and tying de-
vices is also limited at by the House
committee.
The committee has learnedj," said
Chairman Ashbrook. that all of the
last appropriation for Irvine and tying
devices has been used by the Postoftice
Department in the purchase of Irvine
only and that no use has been made OF
the patented straps presented.

Sherman Is Doomed
For denomination

President Taft has heard from Re-
publican leaders in Congress. since his
return to this city, that a movement has
already been started in the New York
delegation for the denomination Of Vice
President Sherman to run on the next
Presidential ticket.
The same argument which was used
to nominate him in the last convention
will be used again next year, according
to the story at the White House. 1t
will be shown that New York must be
represented on the ticket, and that
there is no other Republican leader in
the Empire State better equipped for
the honor than is the present Vice
President.
This movement, of course. contem-
plates the denomination Of President

Uncle Sam Loses Paper
Trade in New Zealand

American manufacturers of printing
and writing paper have suffered COM
plete loss Of their New Zealand busi-
ness, according to a report of Vice Con-
sui Samuel Henry d. Baker, at Auck-
land.
Mr.. Baker explains that Canada has
taken away American trade by prefer
entail surtax on printing paper which
went into effect seven years ago in
April. Previous 20 this print paper had
been admitted free into New Zealand,
but now comes an effective bar in the
form Of a 20 per cent ad valorem tax
which is what the preferential amounts
to.
The year before this went into effect
the United States exported to New
Zealand total Of IS, 453 hundred weight.
The United States Is holding its own
very well in Australia where there is
no tariff at all on print paper.

LAKE EXTENSION
WILL COME FIRST

According to Director F. II. Newell,
Of the Reclamation Service, the frst
Truekee-Carson project extension to
receive the attention of the construe-
ton forces of the project will be the
Pyramid lake. The rights of the gov
eminent to the surplus waters Of Lake
Tahoe. will, of course, be a governing
influence in this work, but apparently
it has been arranged Ia a manner satis-
factory to the government, for much
WORK is now being planned Tor the new
district, where large area of valuable
land lies in one body.
Surveys are now being made by engi-
neers connected with this project, and
under way would seem to
forecast early construction work in the
fine district To the north OF Wadsworth.
With the complete the work now
planned, and the restoration to entry
Of the lands involved, settlement will
be rapid, tor many have been waiting

IN the Pyramid district, where climatic
md soil conditions are said 10 be among
the best in the state.

THE SODA HARVEST
Gathering the Annual Crop at Owen
Lake Has Begun

The soda company at Keeler, on Owen
lake, has begun the harvest of the
present years soda crop, with fifty
Japs to do the work. This inland dead
sea is impregnated with soda and alkali
products which are marketable.
This years production will exceed
last years. 1t is estimated that 10, 900
tons of crude soda will be taken out of
the watts and later converted into soda
ash.
The production of soda is a unique
process. In the early part of the year
a large pumping plant carries the soda
waters of the lake through pipes into
large vats. The heat action of the
suns rays condenses the water so at
the finish there are deposits of crude
soda in the bottom of the vats. The
soda ash produced is mainly used for
glass manufacturing purposes, and the
entire output is usually contracted for
ahead of time. The approximate value
of the soda crop is about 5000, ZOO.

HER sUFFERINGs ENDED.
Death at Last MercifuIly Relieves
Mrs. A. o. Foskett.

Mrs. A. o. Foskett, VINO recently
went to Chicago for treatment for tu-
berculosis, passed away in that city
Nov. Sd, after being a sufferer from
the dread white plague for long time.
She is survived by her husband and her
three children.
In writing to this paper Mr.. Foskett
stated he would soon return to the
homestead east of town and again take
up the work of building home. That
he is forced to do so without the aid of
his faithful wife and mother to his chill
dren seems sad, indeed. The deceased
was woman who enjoyed the esteem
of wide circle of friends, who, togeth-
er with the relatives, will grieve over
her taking at time when the hard
ships of home-building had been over
come and success was in sight.
To the bereaved husband and children
this paper extends its sympathy. 1t
seems too bad that Mrs. Foskett could
not have lived to enjoy the fruits of her
faithful work, and she will be sorely
missed by the dear ones to whom she
was indispensable.

NATIONAL WATER USERS PLAN
For Campaign Which They Hope
Will End in Their Control of
Government Projects

The following dispach was published
under Chicago date line of Nov. 11tb.
IL is OF interest to project people, mas
much as 1t briefly relates the progress
OF the tight that users Of government
water are making to secure control of
the conduct of the various government
irrigation systems, taking the view that
the governments functions ceased up
on the completion of the systems, and
shonld not include indeterminate oper-
alton. On the other hand, many of the
government officials maintain that good
business preeludes the promiscuous
turning over of the governments irri-
CATION undertakings until the settlers
have reimbursed the reclamation fund
for the monies expended.
Fulton II. Sears, a Truckee-C -CaIson
project resident and president of the
National Water Users Association, is
quoted in the article which follows
Representing many thousands of
home builders, millions upon millions
in land values and two billion dollars
invested in irrigation projects by Uncle
Sam, the National Water Users Asso-
citation will begin a determined fight for
personal control by the settlers for the
lands which they have won the right
to control by homesteading and by pay
ing for water rights. This fight will
begin at meeting of the water users
in Chicago on lee. l.
"At the present time the settlers on
the government projects are 80 tied up
by official red tape and the bureaucrat-
ic methods of the reclamation service
that they feel they can hardly call
their souls their own. They are deter
mined to escape from this condition,
and propose to do it by making the Ma
tional Water Users Association pow
er through publicity and education.
We are not trying to dodge pay
ment for our water rights, said Fulton
H. Sears of Fallon, New, on the True
kee-Csrson project. Mr.. Sears is in
Chicago arranging preliminary details
for the meeting. We recognize that
the money spent by the government on
the irrigation projects must be paid
back by the settlers, and we propose
to pay it back. We do not intend, how
ever, TO permit government officials or
anyone else to tie up our property
through red tape for the rest of our
lives. We are capable of handling
these projects and supervising the ex-
penditure of the money loaned to US for
the work. We are entitled to the same
freedom in the ownership and control
of our lands, which We have won by
hardships which only the man who sets
out to conquer the desert can know. "

DESERTED HIS WIFE.
Another Fallon Man Wanted for the
Offense Back East.

Another Fall0n Man w anted Tor the
Offense Back East.
John 7. Kerr, who had somewhat
meteoric career in Fallon, beginning
first as a grocery clerk for the Kent
company and later embarked in busi-
ness as a member of the firm of Kerr &
Monsell, grocerymen, is wanted in Ohio
for wife desertion. Chief of Police Paul
dollhouse has received query from a
heartbroken wife, who, together with
a small child, was deserted by Kerr in
Ontario, Canada. about ten years ago
With the deserted wife's plea for aid
in her search for her husband was en-
closed a photo of the erring spouse,
which was true to life though taken 10
years back, and leaves no doubt as to
the identity of Kerr.
After several years residence in Fal-
Ion Kerr married Miss Eva Mustard,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Mus
tard of this place, highly respected
young lady. They went later to Alber-
ia. Canada, and after being burned out
there Kerr went East ostensibly to Wis.,
it.while Mrs. Kerr came to her parents
home here. If it is determined that he
has a lawful wife in the East Kerr will
be sought out, if possible, and brought
back here for trial on a charge of big
amy. He is a bad actor, evidently.

SAVING THE FRUIT.
A Lot of Smudge Pots Received at
the Experimental Farm.

Supt. Headley. of the government
experimental station, has just received
consignment of 200 smudge-pots 600
each of two different makes) which
will be used in few of the fruit or
chards of the valley next spring in the
effort to stave off Jack Frost.
This shipment, with 100 of another
make already on hand at the station,
will give enough of the heaters to pret-
ty we'll equip several of the neighbor-
ing orchards.
That scientific test of smudging in
this locality has not been heretofore
attempted was due to the prohibitive
price of crude oil here, which until late
ly was quoted around 20 cents. Now,
however, that the Nevada Sugar com
pany is shipping in considerable quanti-
ties of the liquid fuel, it can be had
here for cents which is cheap enough
for anyone.
Sooner or later, if this valley is to
raise fruit as n commercial proposition,
smudging must be resorted to. Colo
RADIO, for instance, which has hundreds
OF thousands OF acres in apples, would
never raise q crop were nol smudgidg
resorted to. And Calfordia iruit.grow-
ers have had TO adopt the same means
OF protection.
