MEETING OF SHEEP
MEN OF NEVADA

A score or more of sheep men,
representing, or rather possessing,
enough money to gag a goat, as
sembled at the Overland hotel in
Reno Monday evening for the ex-
pressed purpose of doing something
or other to the Nevada sheep com
mission either to assassinate 1t,
drop it in the dip or uplift its
hands.
After an interesting session the
last named course was decided upon,
for the sheep owners found out a
lot of things they had not hereto
fore deemed possible, namely, that
the government officers, working
with the state commission, have
been very busy people during the
past four years and in that time
have prevented many quarantine
and practically eliminated that most
prevalent of all diseases, scabbies,
and all of this with practically no

DRY FARMING is
SUCCESSFUL IN NEVADA

j. M. Fulton, freight and passen-
ger agent for the Southern Pacific
company, who has returned from
an official visit to the eastern part
of the state, brings word of very
successful experiment in dry farm
ing.
The experiment was performed by
j. 7. Sweeney, a rancher living
southeast of Wells. A year ago
last fab he fenced an acre of arid
ground, plowed the soil deep, and
sowed and rolled it.
There was little moisture during
the winter and practically none the
succeeding summer, but from the
one acre Mr.. Sweeney cut and
threshed As bushels of wheat.
So successful was the experiment
that this fall he put 600 acres in
shape for wheat crop next season.
There are no irrigation bitches
near the property and practically
all the moisture is supplied by the
subsoil. There are number of
other ranchers in the vicinity, who
are experimenting in dry farming.

For years Reno was considered
the hobo center of the brakebeam
colony Thousands of tramps and
tin can tourists passed through that
place on their way over the summit
to the sunny hillsides of Ca ifornia,
where grub was easy and a blanket
was unnecessary. Any tourist of
this nature dreaded the passage
over the hills. There wa, always
the danger of snowstorm, a long
tramp through the ice, and many a
tramp has frozen to death in his
migration from the east to the Pa
cific coast.
They often fingered in Reno long
enough to rest up a bit and pos
sibly warm up at some saloon fire.
The officers at that point hurried
the boys along, as they were not
wanted in the riverside town. The
sooner the city was rid of them the
better.
Carson being off the main line
there was little trouble experienced
with the tramp element. Occasion
ally few drifted that way, only to
be reshipped to Reno, where the
through lines can take them out of
the state and harms way.
All of the towns along the main
line in Nevada from the Utah line
to California, have felt the pests,
and it was often made the rule to
see that none remained over twenty
four hours in a Nevada town Dur
ing the past season all the towns
have noticed scarcity of Mr..
Tramp. The Southern Pacific can
testify that this undesirable traffic
has lessened considerably during the
past year.
The falling off of this traffic is
not on account of less number of
hoboes in the world, but on account
of the opening of the San Pedro
route from Salt Lake City through

RENO, Jan. County Treasurer
Dan Boyd, in December, took up
the last bond issued by this county
to secure the University of Nevada
for this city from Elko. The bonds
were issued in 1885, and amounted
to $25, 00C. They were purchased
by Mrs. Fred Stadmuller's father
and were held by him and his
daughter until the last one was
taken UP last month. The last
$1,000 bond of this issue is now
paid for and the debt is Cancelled.
Out of the SIS, 900 bond issued
for the securing of the University
of Nevada for Reno, $4,000 was
paid to the town of Elko and $4,000
was paid to j. N. Evans for the
first parcel of land for the college.
This land is now worth about ten
times that much.
