Department RULING
IN FAVOR OF SETTLERS

Settlers on government property
who are unable TO meet irrigation
charges on land taken up hereafter
may return part of the lard and
payments already made will 90 as
payment on the land remaining,
according to decision by Sccre-
tary OF the Interior Fisher.
He may also relinquish the
second tract if he again finds him
self overburdenPd. but the mini
mum he csn. hold is ten acres.
Experience has shown that forty
and eighty acre units are too large
in many cases for cultivation for
man of moderate means. The
secretary purpose is to promote
the cultivation of land for which
the government has furnished n
water supply and to cuarle the
deserving settlers to retain part
of their present holdings, which
otherwise might be lost through
cancellation and non-payment of
charges.

WHO GOT THE BOOZE

The burning question of the
hour in the State Bank case is
What became of that booze"
There were 500 barrels Of whiskey.
:5 arrels of rum, sixty cases of
bottled goods and a hundred cases
of champagne. 1t was given to
the bank for security upon a loan
Of $1,000 il Goldficld a number
of years ago. The books show
that the tgage has never been
paid and the whiskey is gone.
Who got it, did you?
The receiver claims he could not
handle a load Of booze like that
and Judge Mack swears he is far
too small to handle the rum. At
torney Peck said he could handle
the champagne. if he had chance
at it, but objected to the barrel
goods. Judge Langan was inter
ested in the proceedings and really
looked as if bottle of that White
Seal would not be amiss.
Baiiff John Ellis wanted the
booze in as evidence and started 10
clear the room for it's reception
hut it was not forthcoming. The
wor1 leaked out on the street and
many men wended their way to the
courtroom to be present when the
bottGs were re opened.
Nothing stirring, however, as nc
one seem~d to have the keeping of
the wet goods.
Judge Mack says Hickey gave
the booze away ard the bank was
the sufferer while the attorneys
for the defense claim to be from
Missouri. The case went ov cI
until next Thursday when the
liquor question will be fully aired
1t is believed that a number OF
dcpositOrs will be present with
baskets and tomato cans when the
court assemblies again in hopes OF
getting dividend from the
barrels. -- Carsow News.

". P. MAY BUILD BRANCH
TO ELY VIA DEEP CREEK

The report that three par ties of
surveyors are now in the field
between Ely and Deep Greek is
apparently contirmatorv Of the
article published in the Record a
few weeks ago concerning the
possibility of the Westrcn Pacific
building a branch from Wendover
through the Deep Creek country
and on to Ely.
Eastern papers have stated
recently that the Western Pacific,
now that its main line is working
satisfactorily and making money.
would in the nea. future turn its
attention to the construction of
branch lines to tap some of the
territory adjacent and tributary
to the man line.
The Western Pacific is under
the same management as the
Denver and Rio Graudc which i'm
former years was an aggressive
and successful builder Of short
branch lines in various portions of
Colorado, thereby doing much to
develop the mineral and agricul-
tural resources of that state. That
the Western Pacific will in time.
pursue a similar policy in Ne
vada there seems to be no reason
to doubt and there is probably no
locality adjacent to its line which
offers greater tonnage possibilities
than the Ely district. Ely Record.

NO FAKE PROMOTION ALLOWED

A Washington dispatch Of the
10th says.
There is danger Of serious
clash between the Federal authori-
ties and the State of Nevada.
Some time ago the State applied
for 10000 acres Of land under the
Carey Act, to be irrigated by the
Pacific Reclamation Company Of
Nevada, with Offices Mt Salt Lake
City. At first more land was
wanted. hut the interior depart
mCnt engineers reported there was
water available only for 10000
acres. The department therefore
set aside that iarCa. Nothing

owners Is. 900 acres adjacent. 1t

auspices Of the state and federal
governments. The matter was
called to the attention Of Assistant
Attorney General Cobb and Sccrc-
tary of the Interior Fisher. An
investigation showed that the
amount Of water had not increased
and that there vas not half enough
for $4,000 acres. The interior
officials took the view that the
public could not be permitted to
suffer from the promotion scheme.
Secretary Fisher served notice
upon the company and the state Of
Nevada that il the alleged, mis-
leading advertisements we're not
called in neither company nor the
state need expect that the 10000
acres as ed for under the Carey
Act would be patented 10y the
