DISHONEST?

a Tonopah special to the Reno Ga
zette of November 2, says that suit
was filed in the District Court in To
nopah this morning by Louis Schloss,
of Goldheld. through his attorney.
Richard S. Miner, of Goldheld, alleg
ing fraud and collision against Key
Pittman and other officials of the To-
nopah Merger Mining Company. The
suit was not unexpected. and involves
the property of the Golden Anchor
Mining Company. acquired by Pitt
man and his associates
The complaint charges that the
Tonopah Merger Mining Company
was formed for the specific purpose
of absorbing this property. of which
Pittman was attorney.
In 1907 the Tonopah Banking cor
poration brought suit against the
Golden Anchor company for $4,000.
While this suit was pending. defended
by Pittman as attorney for the Gold
Ell Anchor company. Pittman brought
suit on his own behalf for 100000
against his client for alleged legal ser
vices Frederick Grob. stakeholder
at Reno. employed Hugh Brown to
protect his interests. Brown. it is
alleged. entered appearance but subse-
quently. through connivance of Pitt
man and John c. kirchen, superinten
dent and general manager. an attor
new named .Aikens. brother-in-law Of
kirchen, superseded Brown in the de-
Tense against Pittmans suit for the
alleged purpose of permitting judg-
men by default Later Pittman Sc

one million. the Judgment OF the bank,
amounting with interest to $4,000.
was paid and the balance of the stock
of the new company. it is alleged. was
divided between Pittman and other
officers of the company.
The officers of the Tonopah Merger
are substantially those of the Golden
Anchor company and the object of
Schloss' suit is to hold them as trus-
tees and require them to account to
the stockholders OF the Golden Anchor
company for all the property entrust-
ed to their care or acquired by them
through the proceedigs named in the
complaint.
Schloss. in an interview, states that
he has endeavored unsuccessfully for
many months to secure from Pittman
and other officers of the Golden An
Choir company information concerning
the affairs OF the company and to Sc
cure an amendment to his rights.

Irrigation Extension

Scientific soil culture will reclaim
several million acres within the next
10 years in the region i'll northern Ne
vada in which the rainfall is light.

Nevada. and the success during the
last 20 wears of the few farmers who
have been successfully handling their
lands makes practically certain the
rapid future development OF many dis
tricts. The use of water, as in other
States will be increased as the agricul
tural areas are extended. and districts
now considered choice for irrigation
development will be found to be valu-
able
With a climate ranging from that OF
Idaho to that of Southern California
great varieties of crops are being rais

many OF the western States with estab
lishcd regulations for wheat barley
oats, alfalfa and potatoes. Nevada live
stock is on firm basis. Future prices
are assured because OF the constant
and increasing demand from Pacific
Coast market centers.
Under the operations OF the Carey
irrigation act several new projects are
being completed which will. in the neal
future, increase considerably the irr
gated areas.

Close to Coast Markets

Nevada is conveniently located with
reference to the great central markets
of the Pacific Coast and well supplied
with railroads for transportation of its
products. The strong and constantly

vegetables The Nevada farmer has

danger of overcrowding. and for many

In view of such figures as these,
one is tempted to ask why there is
any cry of a land famine2 The Gov

the homesteader 800 acres, while in
others it has reduced the period of
time required TO get title to home
stead to three years.
Undoubtedly the rush to Canada
is largely misguided. 1t has been in
duced by active advertising on the

regulations for the taking up of londs
Many Americans who have precip-
itately crossed the border are likely

good lands as are being given away

Kendrick is bound to be a good
town yet if you citizens wake up and
help the Commercial Club in their
efforts to make a better town. In
the past week this little city has
been visited by men representing
large amounts of capital. These men
are looking for investments of var
ious kinds. Their attention has been
drawn to US by advertising that has
been done in the past four months.
If capital wants to come here and
can see where it can make money,
why cant the home people make an
effort to get it here2 With capital
coming to a town, it means more
business for the laborer, merchant
and every one living in the town.
Let this old stand still idea get out of
your mind and wake up and work.

Fields, editor of the Idaho Post, will
run for State Senator from Latah

the man for the place. He is an hon

respect and one who if elected will
deal justice to the office and every
one concerned. Think it over and if
he announces himself, give him a
fair shake.
