Organized for the purpose of develop
ing the agricultural resources of Humboldt
Valley by conservation and use of the
waste and unused waters.
Fen years ago, the u. S. Geological
Survey said there was sufficient water i'm
the valley to irrigate 10000 acres of land
Today, the Commissioner of Industry,
Agriculture and Irrigation says there are
only $4,000 acres of land under irri-
CATION in the valley.
The profits that will return from recla-
nation OF even part of that extra land
for which there is water will be very large.
This is the largest and most important
irrigation project in Nevada, and about the
only large one left in the United States not
exploited.
The returns to stockholders will be very
large, and land owners and present water
users who take stock will receive benefits
not granted under any other project.
It is expected that every person inter-
eSted in the future prosperity of Humboldt
Valley, or who wants good investment,
will take stock in this company.

1000 FOR THOUGHT

H
Very little interest has been
taken by Elko County ranchers and
business men in the suit brought
by the Lovelock Ranchers against
the Pacific Reclamation Company.
There seems to BIZ an impression
that, because that company is COM
pnsed principally Of Eastern capital
and they are exploiting the agri-
cultural resources of the county
away from the principal settled
parts. and on different lines, than
has ever been tried in this state
although the ordinary way in other
states that action taken against
them cannot have anything to do
with the rest of the ranchers in
Humboldt valley around them.
This idea is erroneous and the
people of Elk0 county should wake
up to the tact that The Pacific Re-
clamation Company has. by action
taken under the laws of the state.
placed itself as an integral part of
the community as far as the use Of
the waters Of Humboldt Yalley are
concerned, and that, 40 Nna4ter
what the older wAter SsaGs may
think is right or wrong ne action
of the Lovelock people is Of vital
Importance to them.
At the preliminary hearing of
the case at Winnumucca, the ove-
lock Ranchers testified they had
only received sufficient water for
full Irrigation Of their lands one
year in the past ten. They admit
that the stopping of the use of
water BY the Pacific Reclamation
Company will not give them drop
more water than they have been
receiving in the past ten years.
They have been fighting among
themselves for years, each raucher

hon. KEY PITTMlN

Hon. Key Pittman If Tonopah
Hells the people of Nevada in this
issue that he is a candidate for
United States senior on the demo-
critic ticket. Two years ago Mr..
Pittman was the democratic candi7
date for the senate, ship against
Senator George S. Nixon. He
made a gallant fight, but the
golden stream poured out by his
opponent in nearly every town
and hamlet 10 the state was too
much for him and he went down
to defeat.
This gear the conditions are
different. Senator Massey, who
will doubtless be the republican
candidate, is not millionaire.
Then. too the people through their
representatives in congress have
said that no more seats in the
United States senate or in the house
shall be purchased by gold.
Henceforth, brair S will not be COM
peliedyto compete with gold for a
seat in either branch of congress.
In his announcement, Mr.. Pitt
man puts himself squarely on the
democratic national and state
platforms. As both of these
documents declare for the election
of United State senator's by popular
vote, it doessp not look as if he, was
trying TO- steal His way into the
United States sc nate.
The Independent earnetly sup
ported Mr. PitrnaH two years age

He represents the principles of the
democratic party 'as expressed al
Baltimore and should have the
earnest support'o Of every democrat
in the State of Nevada.

trying to get . full supply regard
less Of HE neighhor hut that con.
dition has been changed. and now
they are united and determined
to secure water that they claim
they are being defrauded out of.
The present suit is just the COM
mancement Of the trouble that will
follow. if something is not done to
stop it. and the time to stoD it is
before it mas been carried along too
far; and the ones to stop it are
those who are, or may be injured
by the litigation.
There is no doubt but what con-
certed action, along proper lines
can change present conditions, and
no only supply the Lovelo ok people
with all the water tn y now need.
but provide for fur tner irrigation
throughout the whole valley while,
if no such action is taken, there will
ensue a period Of litigation that
will injure every one. .y .ss
Ten years ago the u. S. Geologi-
cal Survey made an estimate of
amount of land that could be irrlg-
ated in the valley and put it at
$50. 900 acres. Today C. A. Nor
cross. commissioner of Industry,
agriculture and irrigation-very
likely securing the information
through the state engineer says
only $4,000 acres of land are
under irriga tion.-or less than one
fourth what might be irrigated if
the waters Of the. valley were pro.
perly handled.
Now, would it not be far better
for the people of the valley to get
together, find out why conditions
are as they are, what can be done
to change them. and do it, rather
than expend time and money trying
to keep the present conditions IN
changed. There must be some
way out of the present threatened
trouble without endless litigation,
and it is very likely the way will
turn out far less expensive one
than through the courts.
We up at this end of the valley
know the volume of water that
flows past US is enormous every
year and cannot realize why those
at the lower end should suffer any
lack. nor why they should demand
that more water be sent down; but
the fact remains that, under de-
cisions of our own courts. the man
at tile lower end of a stream after
he has acquired a water right for
q certain amount of land can insist
that sufficient water to supply that
amount shall be delivered to him,
no matter what the consequences
are. nor how much water is lost
in getting that amount to him.
AS matters are now in the valley,
here are less than 100000 acres of
land under irrigation above
PaIisade. There cannot be over 80,
600 acres uuder irrigation from
there to Lovelock If the statement
Of $4,000 acres in the valley,
is right. for there are lands under
irrigation away from the main
river. Then, there is a loss of
sufficient water for irrigation Of

IMPORTANT RAILROAD PROJECT
C0NSIDERED

Tt is learned that W E D Stokes,
owner of the Ansonia hotel in New
York and very rich man and
powerful in financial circles there,
is intent on building railroad from
Elkton, Rockingham comfy, to
Deepwater some where on the Poto-
mac or Rappahannock rivers.
Mr. Stokes already lis owner OF the
Chesapeake and western railroad
from Bridgewater in Rockingham
county. through Harrisonburg, to
Elkton, a distance of about thirty
six miles. The original purpose OF
this road was to go over into the
West Virginia coal fields and timber
lands and at one time H H Rodgers
seriously considered using it as a
road to tidewater instead of build
ing the Virginian.
Mr. Stokes is enthusiastic now on
the idea of building q railroad from
Elkton through Green, Madison,
Orange, Spottsylvania and Stafford
Counties to the Potomac river where
he can get twenty feet of water and
q direct water route connecting
with the Cesapeake Bay and the
Atlantic ocean. He has made the
definite proposition that he will
cross the Blue Ridge and 60 down
to tide water If people along the
proposed line will give him the right
of way and crossties. He asks no
large local subscriptions to stock
and bonds.
Greene and Madison counties have
no direct railway conuectians and
the proposed line would be of ire
mendous value and Importance to
them. OF course, direct market
outlet to the north, washington,
Baltimore and other centers, by
short and direct railroad and water
route, would mean enormous~devel-
opment for those sections which it
would serve.
MI Stokes seems to be thoroughly
in earnest and as he isseveral times
a millionair and has large credit
and the confidence of the financial
powers in New York, it is likely
that he will do what he suggests if
the people of the counties will CO.
operate with him. Roanoke News
