is being pursued by Lovelock ranch
ers, in regard to the application
pending for big appropriations {
the upper Humboldt, but 1T is
certain, that even though they may
like to see thousands of acres OF
new land put in in Elko county, still
they are not SO especially desirous
of it that they are willing to donate
their water rights to the project.

Should the editor of the Elko
Free Press come to Lovelock about
this time of the year, he might see
something that would wise him up a
bit on irrigation on the Humboldt.
He would also see why the fair
minded ranchers of Lovelock
ject to the granting of applications
that involve a millionaire feet of
water to be taken from stream
that is now insufficient, to supply
the demand, by old appropriations,
some of which date back to time
long before the Editor of the Elko
paper was born. In Lovelock now
and in fact for the past week, the
river is too low to afford anirriga-
ton of the-yalley lands. Farmers
are grumbling in both ends of the
valley, and even the oldest appro-
priators who have the first chance
ut the water have not enough to sa,-
isfy the demand. Now we would
like the Free Press editor to tell
us, how when such condition pre-
walls, the extra water to supply the
demand is to come from. Accordil G
to his theory II it is taken out or
the river and used inElkocounty 1t
will seep back into the river and
still be used by irrigators furthur
down the river That kind of talk
sounds fishy. What percent ol
the water finds it's way back into
the river? Very often it is poor
water filled with alkalines sluiced
out of the land
With all the fine show of figures
on the part of the Elko Free Press
it has failed to make more water IL
the river, failed to show wherein
it is just or right to permit lot
more of water to be taken out,
when there is already shortage.
We do not know just what course

WATER APPROPRIATION FROM THE
HUMBOLDT RIVER ACCORDING
To ELKO VIEW POINT
Elko Paper Figures the Situation out
so there will be Enough Water
for New Applications

1903 1906 1903
Palisade and
Golconda, 1854 224,48O $4,000
Golconda and
0reana, 1929 23,040 $4,000
"These figures show an average
loss of water in Battle Mountain
Basin, between Palisade and Col
conda, of over 100000 acre-feet, an,
an average loss between GOlcOnda
and Oreana of $4,000 acre-feet,
and an average flow for use of the
ranches at Lovelock of 215,O0O ac-
reflect AS there are only $4,000
acres of land under irrigation in
and around Lovelock, this would al
low four feet Of water per acre; but
as the Hum, oldt Lake covers about
25,OU0 acres OF land and the evapor-
alton OF water is nearly three fe }.
each year from it,, it must be that
the Lovelock ranchers can only
use about one acre-foot of water
per year per acre for their irriga-
tion, or the lake would have be
come dry long ago; but it remains
a. the same general level, nearly
all the time.
"If the Loveloek ranchers use
about z5,600 acre-feet of water for
$4,000 acres of lond, the Winnie
mucca ranchers use $4,000 acre
feet for 10000 acres of land, and
the Battle Mountain ranchers use
100000 acre feet for 10000 acres
how many acre-feet of water per
acre, do the ranchers at the head
OF the Humboldt use?
"As we understand the situation
the people of sLovelock valley are
opposed to granting any new appro-
priations for water in Elko county,
and if they succeed in convincing
the state engineed that they are
right, Elko County cannot put an
other acre of new ground under cul
tivation. The thousands of acres
now contemplated being opened VI
under the Carey act will lie dorm
ant if they can have their way.
at is time the ranchers of ElkC
county organize and employ lega
talent to look after their interests
: This means a great deal to every
resident of Elko county and we urge
upon them the Importance of this
matter.

People Of the United

London. Feb. %. - The government
bill to abolish the veto power Of the
house Of lords, which, if the govern
ment is able to pass 1t as it stands,
promises to accomplish a historic
change in the parliamentary system OF
Great Britain. was introduced in he
house of today by Premier
Asquith.
No n processes to see the outcome
of the constitutional battle. If the
liberals have any thought to a compro-
mise, they are keeping their intentions
to themselves, and the greatest con-
troversy known in this country for sew
eral generations began with both sides
apparently determined not to yield ex'
sept to superior forces.
Big House Greets Asquith.
A full house faced Mr.. Asquith when
he rose to make the customary ex-
planatory statement on the introduce
ton of q measure of such moment. The
premier at once let the opposition know
that he felt the country was behind
him and therefore did not hesitate to
reintroduce the bill without change
had gone before the electorate at the
recent elections, and had been Endorsed
by the return of it's supporters to the
house of commons.
Mr.. Asquith declared that when the
'crds rejected the budget Of 1909 they
committed political suicide. History
would say that it was the most stu
pendous act Of political blindness ever
Qerpetrated.
Opposition a Nightmare.

Such a view is one of the most UNI
substantial Nightmares that ever at

Mr.. Asquith said the political for
tunes of the representatives of tho
government were at stake. He con-
,luded:

BaIfour Makes Reply.
Mr.. Balfour, the leader of the OPP
position, followed. He commented on
The absence OF all evidences of a CON

Mr.. Balfour said he was convinced
that some leaven Of heredity was nec>
essary for the second chamber. He
desired a peaceful arrangement by
agreement, and would do much so hat
q great struggle might be settled with
but controversial violence, which it was
especially desirable to avoid in a cor
onation year, but there were some is
sues so great that no compromise was

STATESMAN ADMITS THAT
COUNTRY Is Inv TROUBLE

Paris. Feb. Elm q review OF the
crisis In Mexico, made today for the
Associated Press, Jose Yves Limantour.
minister of finance In the cabinet of
President Diaz. declared that the onIy
lay down their arms pending negotia.
tons with the government which or.
its part should grant a reform of the
evils that made the revolution possible.
The only alternative that he feresaw
was the probability of a long, wasting
struggle, for, said the minister. 'ths
federal troops are no match for h
cowboy insurgents"
In the opinion of Senior Limantour.
the feudal system in Mexico must go,
and the great estates In the north
which have been passed from family to
family should be distributed anong the
people. For himself. he said. he had
no political ambitions. though he had
been frequently urged to contest tbs
expects to start home within two weeks
His Relations Strained.
Minister Lamantour came to Paris
early last August in order that hls
wife, who is in Ill health, might receive
medical treatment here. Before leaving
Mexico he declined a nomination for
the presidency, and though he re-
NAMED in the cabinet, 1t was rumored
that his relations with President Diaz
were not as close as formerly.
The minister makes three sugge
tions:
/. The abuses communicating local
administrations, as in the cities and
towns which have the greatest grew
ances, should be Immediately abol.
ished.
2. Some means should be found to
\
sively the holdings of land.
In the third place, there Is opposition
to President Diaz on the ground that
he has been too long in office and that
new blood is needed to direct the af-
fairs OF the republic.
But" added the minister, "Diaz was
legally returned to the presidency by
she people"
II dislike to touch on the delicate
question of neutrality" continued the
Mexican. but / am convinced the
United States Interpretation is too re-
stricted. Unless IL Is enlarged 1t will
seriously imperil the governments
chances of quelling he revolutionists.
Keep OFF the Frontier.
Mexico prevents Guatemalan revo-
~lutionists from remaining near tho
frontier, just as France at the time OF
the Portuguese revolution forced the
Carlists living near the Spanish from.
tier to remove at least 200 kilometers
from the border, on the ground that
their nearness constituted a menace to
q friendly power.
why cannot the United States adopt
che same attitude and not only arrest
armed revolutionists IL found crossing
into Mexico, but also prevent revolu-
.ionary meetings and the dispatch of
arms and ships?"
Minister Limantour, who already has
plae,d in Europe $55, 00o, 600 of bonds
In conversion of the Mexican national
debt OF $40, 600, 900. has decided not to
place the other half of the bonds for
the present. His success in placing the
new 4 per cent. bonds at 97M he con-
siders a splendid tribute to Mexico's
credit abroad, though the revolution
caused Mexican securities to fall from
/ TO 2 points.
