have decreased so cents per head.
The farmers at Lovelock have finished a large reservoir at the

into it and empounded for use during the Summers. The water
shortage problem is solved there.
At the Pirmeaux trial in Elko, prospective jurors, lawyers aud

ton Company at Metropolis, to compel the company to open the
reservoirs. it is understood is to be settled out Of court, as al agree
ment between the farmers along the Humboldt and the corporation
has been reached. This is probably the largest irrigation scheme
in Nevada aside from the Fallon project, and a town has been built
on the possibilities of the reservoir system. reclamation and colo

The NEW HOMESTEAD LAWS

While it is fairly we'll known that there is a new provision in
the Homestead law, which permits the taking up of 800 acres OF
land-double the usual 160-in certain districts which are shown
to be arid, the provisions of the law are not generally understood
The provisions of the law relating to homesteading on 800 acre
tracts II as follows:
That any person who is a qualified entryman under the Home
stead laws of the United States may enter, by legal subdivisions,
under the provisions of this act, in the States of Colorado, Montana,
Nevada. Oregon. Utah. Washington and Wyoming, and the Terri
tories of Arizona and New Mexico, 800 acres or less, of non-mineral,
nonirrigable, unreserved and unappropriated surveyed public lands
which do not contain merchantable timber, located in a reasonably
compact body, and not over ONT and one-half miles in extreme
length; provided, that no lands shall be subject to entry under the
provisions of this act until such lands shall have been designated by
the Secretary of the Interior a not being, in his opinion, susceptible
of successful irrigation at a reasonable cost from any known source
of water supply.
"Section q That any person applying to enter land under the
provisions of this act shall make and subscribe before the proper
officer an affidavit as required by section 1920 Of the revised stat
utes, and in addition thereto, shall make affidavit that the land
sought to be entered is of the character described in section one OF
this act, and shall pay the fees now required to be paid under the
Homestead laws.
"Section 8. That any homestead entryman of lands Of the
character herein described, upon which final proof has not been
made shall have the right to enter public lands, subject to the pro-
visions of this act, contiguous to his former entry which shall not,
together with the original entry exceed 800 acres, and residence
upon and cultivation of the original entry shall be deemed as resi-
dence upon the cultivation o. the additional entry.
"Section A. That at the time of making final proofs as pro-
vided in section 1921 of the revised statutes, the entryman, under
this act shall. in addition to the proofs and affdavts required un-
der this section, prove by two credible witnesses that at least one
eighth of the area embraced in his entry was continuously cultivated
to agricultural crops other than native grasses beginning with the
second year of the entry, and that at least onefourth of the area
embraced in the entry was 8 continuously cultivated beginning
with the third year of the entry.
"Sec s.. That nothing herein contained shall be held to affect
the right of qualified entrymen to make homestead entry in the
States named in section one of this act under the provisions Of sec
ton 21S9 of the revised statutes, but no person who has made en-
try under this act shall be entitled to make homestead entry under
the provisions of said section, and no entry made under this act
shall be committed.

The OWNING ROD

The United States Geological Survey states in WaterSupply
Paper 255, entitled Underground Waters for Farm Use" just re-
issued, that no appliance. either mechanical or electric has yet been
devised that will detect water in places where plain common sense
and close observation will not show its presence just az well. NJ
merous mechanical devices have been proposed for detecting the pres
ence of underground water, ranging in completely from the simple
forked branch of witch hazel peach, or other tree to more or less
elaborate mechanical or electric contrivances. Many of the opera
tors of these devices, especially those who use the home-cut forked
branch, are entirely honest in the belief that the working of the rod
is influenced by agencies-usuany regarded as electric currents fol-
lowing underground streams of water-that are entirely independ
ent of their own bodies, and many people have implicit faith in
their own and others ability to locate underground water in this
way. In experiments with a rod made from a forked branch it
seemed to turn downward at certain points independent of the oper-
ator's will, but more complete tests showed that this downturning
resulted from slight and, until watched for, unconscious muscular
action, the effects of which were communicated through the arms
and wrists to the rod. No movement of the rod from causes outside
of the body could be detected, and it soon became obvious that the
view held by other men of science is correct-that the operation of
the "divining rod is generally due to unconscious movements of the
body or of the muscles of the hand. The experiments made show
that these movements occur most frequently at places where the
operators experience has led him to believe that water may be
found.
The uselessness of the divining rod is indicated by the facts
that it may be worked at will by the operator, that he fails to de-
tect strong water currents in tunnels and other channels that afford
no surface indications of water, and that his locations in limestone
regions where water flows in well-defned channels r no more sue
cessful than those dependent on mere guess In fact, its operators
are successful only in regions in which ground water OCCURS in a
definite sheet of porous material or in more or less clayey deposits
such as pebbly clay or till In such regions few failures can occur
for wells can get water almost anywhere.
The only advantage of employing a "water witch, as the oper-
ahr of the divining rod is sometimes called, is that crudely skilled
services are thus occasionally obtained, for the men so employed,
if endowed with any natural aptitude, become, through their exper-
fence in locating wells, shrewd, if sometimes unconscious observers
of the occurrence and movements of ground water.

out his hand to Yancy.
''Sir," he said, "if could command

much overwhelmed by the judges

The Judge was visibly affected. A
smile of deep content parted Mr.. Yam

closed about the judges hand with
crushing force.
"Whoop!" cried Cavendish, delight
ed at this recognition of Yancy's love
for the boy, and he gleefully smote
the austere Mahaffy on the shoulder.
But Mahaffy was dumb in the pres
