Homestead Bill Passed

The new homestead bill was passed
the House of Representatives at Wash
ington Saturday, and needs only the
official signatures to become law.
The provisions regarding acreage to be
placed under cultivation are still too
strenuous for a timbered section, but
at that the law is benefit to all home
steaders in the county.
The bill reduces the requisite period
OF residence from five years to three,
and grants five months leave of alb
sence annually, to permit homesteaders
to go away for the possible supple
menting of their incomes.
One provision requires cultivation of
one-sixteenth Of entry the second year
and one-eighth the third year. Settlers
are given the privilege of proving up
under either the new bill or the old five
year law, which does not require so
much improvement on the homestead.

Council Proceedings

sion Tuesday evening, Councilman Har-
ris, Torreson, Murphy and Nelson pres
ent.
F. w. Kimmdl, w. F. Willard and j.
M. Mcdonald appeared before the
council, for themselves and others, to
enter a remonstrance against the grad
ing of Second street, basing the remon-
STRANGE on present financial conditions.
Upon discussion of the grading pro-
posal, it was brought out that the cost
of street improvement can now bemore
equitably distributed than heretofore
through new act of the legislature.
Provision has been made whereby the
cost of the grade is divided into zones,
the property directly abutting paying
As per cent, the ratio Of per cent de-
creasing to the center of the block on
intersecting streets. Also that an i'm
provement district could be organized,
bonds to pay for the work sold, thus
distributing the cost of the improvement
over term of years.
On motion the grade proposal was
laid over until the next meeting, so that
an opportunity could be given to prop
erty owners. to further consider the
matter, and the resolution was also
amended to grade Second street only as
far west as Fea avenue.

that the case of Chas. F. Craig against
the town, for the payment Of the Car
ter springs warrants, would come be-
fore the Supreme Court on July 8.

LIQUID SOAP FOR SCHOOLS.
Fort Wayne, Ind, to Do Away With
the Bar Kind. =

That the community bars of soap pro-
vided in the school buildings Of Fort
Wayne, Ind, for lathering the faces of
young hopefuls are unhealthful and in
sanitary Is the contention of the local
health authorities, who will urge the
school board to adopt the liquid soap
scheme for dirt removing.
There is no ruling by the state board
Of health on which to base an action
of this sort. and as result the local
health department will simply request
the school board to adopt this health
precaution.

The Mystery of Bird Flight.
A curious fact concerning birds Is
that the tip of the wing moves at
practically the same speed in every
species. This is $50 feet per minute or
nearly seven and half miles per hour.
Whether it is the tiny wren or the
huge stork. the rule holds good. and
even the bee comes within it. Thus
the bee has wing only quarter of
an inch long, the sparrow's wing is
four inches and the stOrk's twenty
seven. But the bees wing beats II, 400
times in minute. the sparrow's 72O
and the stork's only 1O5 times If you
multiply together the length of the
wing and the number of beats you
will get almost exactly the sa result
In the three cases namely. stork. 2.S35:
bee. 1850; sparrow. $3.50. But if ever
machine Is made to fly like bird it
will have to develop far more energy
than these figures stand for. A birds
energy Of flight is not so great as is
supposed. Although such skillful f1iers
when aloft. many birds cannot rise
from level ground. London Answers.

Good News

A recent special" from Hawthorn
in the Reno Gazette states that the
Aurora mines have been taken over
by the Tonopah Mining Company.
This deal has hung fire" for a long
time, owing to difference as to the
terms OF the payments. We are in
formed by miners coming here from
Aurora that they had been promised
leases on this ground, providing the
deal did not go through, and that
they have been recently notified that
no leases would be let. This will be
good news to every one interested IN
the welfare and prosperity of this
section.
The report published in the State
papers to the effect that the Tonopah
Company had taken an option on
group at Lucky yboy, Aurora and Lun
dy, and that the papers were record
ed here, is premature, as no. suet
documents have as yet been filed iol

Cat Creek


Fred Weber and VIM. Klein are at
work developing the Gilroy claim ia
Cat creek. After making connection
with the main tunnel they will drive
it ahead. They have every reason to
believe that this tunnel will cut a
three-foot ledge OF free milling gold
ore. In order to thoroughly develop
this ledge it will be necessary to be.
gin another tunel $50 feet lower than
the first one, which will tap the ore
at depth of 25O feet below the SUR
face.
There is already exposed on the
surface an immense ore body WHICH
can be profitably handled by concen-
tration or cyanide. 1t is expected
that water will be encountered in the
tunnel, which will aid materially in
the development Of the property.
There are now about 10, 900 tons
of free milling ore blocked ont on this
ground, ,35 average assays from which
give returns of $40 per ton.
If confidence and grit can make
property producer of bullion, Mr..
Weber will surely succeed, for he has
devoted many years, in the face oi
adverse conditions, to the develop
ment of the mine.

Weights and Measure Law.

'ViSu1S oU0 uOdSutS LdWs
Presidents Office, University of
Nevada.
Reno, December 26, 1911.
To The Public:
The act of the Twensy-tifth legisla-
ture fixing the standard of weights
and measures and regulating the
sale OF commodities and articles of
merchandise according to such stand
ards will become effective January l,
ll912.
Section 18 Of this act presents some
difficulties in its Interpretation but
the meaning of this section has been
determined after careful consultation
and will probably stand the test.
The Unit of standard measure OF
length, surface or solid: the Unit of
standard weights; the Unit of stan
dard measure OF capacity for liquids
and the Unit of standard capacity
of commodities other than liquids
are in accordance with the standards
of weights and measures adopted
and provided for by the government
of the United States. The Univer-
sity OF Nevada has ordered set Of
each of these standard weights and
measures which will be sealed by the
Bureau OF Standards and kept for
comparison at the University.
The working sets of these weights
and measures together with a stamp
for sealing the scales that are ap-
proved by the deputy sealers weights
and measures arc provided for every
day work.
Section II, 13, IA, Is, 16 and II
can be readily understood. 1t was
probably the intention of the Legis-
lature that Section 18 seould not be
interpreted in the sense of the orig
inal package, which has been defined
by the Supreme Court of the United
States, but was intended to allow
the bringing into the State by man
ufactures or growers without the
State those articls which usually are
put up in small packages, as for ex-
ample, garden seed. This section
undoubtedly discriminates against
the manufacturer or grower in New
ada.
It is the duty OF the sealer and his
duly authorized deputies to test and
approve all weights and measures,
balances and measuring devices,
and for all those that are correct to
mark such weight, measure, balance
or measuring device with seal to
be kept by him for that purpose.
| The law provides penalties both
for the public and the sealer and his
deputies for any violation OF the pro-
visions OF this Act.
