BALLOT FOR PRIMARIES
UNDERGOES CHANGE

The official primary election
ballot will be changed somewhat
from that of the last primary
election. Instead of three ballots.
o e for each party, the ballot this
year Will he one. The names of
the candidates of the different
parties will be in separate columns.
For instance. if anyone desires to
vote the democratic ticket he is to
place ar X in the square of the
column marked democratic party
and he must then vote the demo-
cratic ticket. If, however, he
marks the X in the democratic
square and votes for one or more
candidates IN another party these
votes do not count. but, the ballot
is not rendered void as these for
whom he has voted in the democra-
tic column will still be counted, if
a man indicates with an X that he
is democrat and votes in the
columns of the other parties Il ey
cannot be considered. Should a
voter fail to designate his party
and then votes straight ticket in
any party the ballot will be good
and the votes counted. II, however
he fails to designate his party and
votes in two or more columns the
ballot will be cast aside.
The purpose of the primary
ballot is to have convention of
the whole people of the three
parties. As matter Of precau-
tion in preventing the loss of
ballot il will he well for any voter
to indicate his party and to vote in
the column of that party only. Any
other proceeding will render the
ballot void and in any case cannot
do the candidate of another party
than that of the voter any good. l.

mends Mr.. Murphy TO the thought

IRRIGATION IN NEVADA

a recent bulletin issued by the
Department of Commerce and
Labor. at Washington. deals with
irrigation in Nevada. Some very
interesting items appear in this
bulletin and which show the mag
nitude of the state and the work
under way by both government and
private enterprises.
Tie number of farms under
ienee- and producing is given as
2,6s9. The number of acres ill.,
ciuded in the farms is 2,7I4,475.
Of the farms under irrigation 2, ago
is computed. The same tables
bring forth the fact that over half
a million acres more could be
brought under irrigation by the
water supply now available. This
Is compiled by the census of 1910.
There has been a material increase
both in farms and acreage cultivat-
ed since that time.
In Douglas county every farm
was reported as irrigated. while in
Clark and Lander counties all but
one farm was using water.
Ninety-two per cent Of bill farms
in this state are under irrigation.
According to the report there has
been comparatively little develop
