The Elko Independent says Monday
morning Allen Carville telephoned to
bis father from the Mound valley ranch
that three OF the stack corrsls on the
ranch were discovered to be on fire
about l2 o'clock at night and all the
hay in them, betwee 400 and 500 tons,
was destroyed. The corrals we're in
nearly a straight line across the field
the outside corrsls being about quarter
OF mile apart From the reports that
reached this office, there seems to be no
doubt that the Ere was the work OF an
incendiary.
The great demand for public land.
stimulated by the workings OF the Carey
Act and the success OF dry farming ex-
periments. has caused increased activity
in Surveyor General Kyle's office. There
now are. or shortly will be, seven gov
eminent surveyors in the field. An ap-
preparation OF s75, 900 has been made for
this work. According to late official
map Of Nevada less than half the State
has been surveyed. The work OF sec
tionizing the lands at present unsurveyed
will mean the expenditure OF a large
sum Of money.
The officials Of Clark County claim
that the saloons in Moapa, on the CLARK
railroad, are causing the county great
expense and the officials much trouble.
They ask that some action be taken
to have these saloons closed, claiming
that there is much lawlessness in the
place and that much money is spent in
in the protection OF life and property
and in the prosecution of offenders.
II is probable that all the saloon licenses
in Moapa will be revoked and that
others will not be issued.
After making careful examination
on all the ranches in White Pine County
c. W. Creel, Entomologist for the De-
partment OF Agriculture, has come to
the conclusion that White Pine County
is not infested with the alfalfa weevll.
Ii was thought that the pest might have
made its appearance on the White Pine
ranches as a result of several shipments
of hay from Utah, and to guard against
the spread OF the disease the entomolo-
pist was sent by the Government to
make a careful study OF conditions there.
The result OF his examinations will be
relief TO White Pine County farmers.
The work OF macadamizing the road
between Reno and Carson will continue
for a few weeks more at point near
Lake View, and then the convict camp
will be moved to a point just south OF
Reno. County Commissioner Perkins
saws that the county cannot stand the
expense OF further macadamizing at this
time, but that the convicts will be EN-
pIoyed grading, crowning and rolling the
road and building bridges and culveris'
He states that in this way they will be
able to do some repair work to the entire
road this year. while if they continued to
macadamize it would take at least a
vear,s time to finish the entire road.
