Humboldt


Organized for the purpose of Develop
ing the agricultural resources OF Humboldt
Valley by conservation and use of the
waste and unused waters.
Ten years ago, the U. S. Geological
Survey said there was sufficient water in
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 reca-
nation OF even part of that extra land
tor 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.
1t 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.

there never was a more applicable

Diminishing Veterans.

From The Philadelphia Press
There lis a net reduction of 3l,S04
from the pension list in the last year.
In spite of additions by special act of
congress and by more liberal conditions
in the law the pensioners continue to
decline in number. They are 139. l52
less than were on the rolls in 1909,
though congress has opened the pen
sion gates wider and wider and the
annual cost of :pensions which has
been showing little falling off, will
be $40, 500, 900 more for 1914 than in
1913, according to. present estimates.
If the death angel continues to be az
busy with the veterans as he has been
this 1914 estimate will probably prove
to be excessive.
