C0MPLETEFO BALL

The several committees having in
charge the management of the Thanks
giving ball, to be given at the Nixon
opera house tomorrow evening by the
married men, held joint meeting last
night to pefect arrangements for the
affair
The mistaken notion seems to be pre-
valent that only those who attended
the ball recently given by the ladies
are eligible for admission to tomorrow
night s party. The committee wishes
to correct this idea and states that all
persons who are now or ever have been
married will be made welcome.
In order to prevent confusion in the
dining during the banquet new
feature will be introduced for the first
time. Upon entering the opera house
each person will be given number,
and fifty numbers will be called for
the diningroom at time. y this
means persons seated at the table will
not be annoyed by the sight of others
waiting impatiently. to take their
seats.

u. s. BULLETIN SHOWS
ELEVATIONS IN NEVADA

As part of its map making the
United States geological survey has
determined the exact elevation of
many mountains and other principal
points in all parts of the United
States. The results Of these measure
ments are now being published by the
survey in the form of bulletins cover
ing states or groups of states. A re-
cent issue is Bulletin 4sS, Results of
Spirit Leveling in Nevada,'' under the
direction of X. b. Marshall, chief
gcographer. The lowest altitude not
ed is at Mesquite springs, between
Las Vegas and Searchlight, which is
given as 1,619.014 feet above the level
of the sea. The highest point in Ne.
vada thus far marked by the survey is
Ophir summit, at the crest of the
Toyabe range, about 30 miles north of
Tonopah. The description of the
surveys bench mark at this point in
the bulletin is an example of the
method of description of other points.
1t is as follows:

WELLS,FARCO eco.
Will SETTLE TAXES

For the past year Wells, Fargo & Co.
has been submitted to much unfavor-
able comment by the people and press
of the state for refusing to pay its
taxes.
In defense of its position, the com
pany claims that it is taxed ON an av-
erage throughout the state eight per
cent of its gross earnings in the state,
the tax in Humboldt county running
about seven per cent. In contrast it is
pointed out that in other states, where
corporations are taxed on their earn
ings, in lieu of all other taxes, two
per cent is the maximum rate.
However, there is a prospect that
the whole matter will soon be satisfac-
torily adjusted, as a conference will
be held, presumably befroe the current
tax becomes delinquent next Monday,
between officials of the great express
company and representatives of the
state, at which time it is hoped the
differences will be amicably settled.

WHAT A YOUNG MAN
EXPECTS OF A GIRL

A young man contributes the follow
ing to the December Woman IS Home
Companion:
"'I don't care for a prude; but II
like still less the other kind of girl
who has rather uncertain ideals of
womanhood. 1t is quite probable that
the latter is more popular than the
quiet girl who refuses to allow even
nice boys to hold her hand, hug and
kiss her; but allow me to express the
opinion that no popularity at all is bet
ter than such popularity. A girl can
be good fellow and a jolly com
rade among the bows, and at the same
time let the boys know that they are
not to make free with her. Such girl
will be accorded genuine admiration
on the part of the boys.
"The young men may seem to flock
around the girl who will let them
snatch a kiss in dark corner for
young men have an evil nature as well
rs the better side that responds quick.
ly and gladly to the good influences of
a pure. sweet girl.
81 can answer for large circle of
young men friends when | say that we
prefer the pure minded girl to the girl
who appeals to our baser natures.
There would be no hesitancy in max
ing choice.
81 sometimes feel that girls do not
make full use of their power to in
flrence young men for good. Much as
il would embarrass me to admit it in
public, seven tenths of the things | do,
plan and strive for are because they
viii result in making me what / think
certain young lady expects me to be.
For some reason-possibly shyness and
the thought that the young men would
n t care for such infuence--the ma
ioriiy of girls do not seem to attempt
t. exert their ability in this way A
pu~e girl consciously using this gift
will do more, / think, to keep a young
man in the straight and narrow than
angling else | know of. Not even a
mother can do as much in guiding
yourg man as his sweetheart in a
puppy love-affair at twenty or more
yeas Of age.
'sThe one big thing every young
man worth while expects in a girl
whether she is sweetheart or just a
friends her influence for good. Ev-
erything else is incidental, and will
fade into the back ground in compari-
son with what most young men silent
ly expect in girls

SHALL THE CANAL RE rREE2

ut is useless to expect the Panama
canal investment to be profitable from
editorially. "The business can per.
haps be developed; but only by lib
eral policy.
!" The biggest traffic probability, by
far, Is in freights between the east
ern and western coasts of the United
States. We have lumber along most
of our Pacific coast, coal in Alaska,
fruit and oil in California, wheat in
Oregon and Washington; all these will
seek the cheaper canal transport east
ward If good service and low rates
make it possible. On the other hand,
the east has a vast tonnage of manu-
factured goods for the western coast.
1.-The canal win carry business from
New York to San Francisco much more
cheapply than the railroads have done
1T, and, and it is claimed, in less time,
on the average. But to insure this
canal traffic must be eencouraged and
kept independent and no adverse in
influence must be permitted dictate
rates and regulations.
1.-The way to get business for the
canal and to reshape the trade routes
of the world so that the United States
will become the commercial center of
gravity, is to make the canal free Of
tolls. Such policy, moreover, will
interest all the world in keeping the
canal open; it will create prejudice
against any military effort to block the
ditch. 1t will be worth more in this
regard than a hundred million dollars
worth of Notifications.

NATIONAL FORESTS
| TO SUPPLY WATER
United States Department of Agriculu-
ture, Office of the Secretary, Wash

United States Department of Agriculu-
ture, Office of the Secretary, Wash
ington, D. e., November Is, 1911.
Secretary Wilson has decided that
the interests of cities and towns which
obtain their water from streams hay-
ing their watersheds within national
forests call for special measures of pro-
lection and he has therefore developed
plan OF cooperation for the depart
ment OF agriculture with those COM
munlties which are alive to the impor-
tance of keeping their water supply
pure.
There are many western towns and
cities, some Of them Of large size.
which derive their water from drain.
age basins lying inside the national
forests. One of the recognized OBJ
Jects of forestry is to insure the per-
manence and protect the purity of
municipal water supplies. As the for.
ests are maintained for the benefit Of
the public, Secretary Wilson considers
it the duty of his department to do
all that it can both to prevent the pol
luton of such supplies and to create
or maintain conditions most favorable
to constant flow of clear water.
Stock raising and occupancy of the
land for the various kinds Of use
which are ordinarily encouraged ON
the national forests may be highly un-
desirable if allowed on drainage basis
which are the sources of drinking wa
ter. There is also to be considered the
injury which may be done if the water
is silt-laden. By protecting and i'm
proving the forest cover and by en-
forcing special regulations to minimize
erosion and to provide for the main
tenance of sanitary conditions, the
government will try to safeguard the
interests of the public.
A form of agreement has been
drawn up, providing that, when CO.
operation is entered into between the
secretary of agriculture and any city
desiring conservation and protection
OF its water supply, the secretary will
not permit the use of the land involv-
ed without approval by the town or
city except for the protection and care
of the forests, marking, cutting and
disposing of timber which the forest
officers lind may be removed without
injury to the water supply of the city,
or for the building of roads, trails,
| telephone lines, etc., not inconsistent
with the objects OF the agreement or
for rights of way acquired under acts
of congress. The secretary also
agrees to require all persona employed
on or occupying any of the land both
to comply with the regulations govern
ing national forests and to observe all
sanitary regulations which the city
may propose and the secretary ap.
prove.
The agreement provides for the ex-
tension and improvement of the for
ests on the part of the government by
seeding and planting and the best
methods of silviculture and forest
management, so far as the funds avail
able will permit. The city on it's side ID
expected to assist in the work by pay
ing the salaries of the additional
guards necessary to carry out the
agreement, and in case extensive for.
est operations are Immediately desir.
ed by the city, it would bear the ma.
Jor part of the cost entailed by this
work.

ped to award the ribbons in the Omaha
show.
Mr.. Clever who is secretary of the
American and Deloine Record associa-
tion, is generally recognized as one of

classes will be done by j. p. Casey of
South Omaha, the greatest sheep mar
ket of the country.

vention drawing near, the entry list is
fast assuming gigantic proportions
