advisory committee. TIE otrer
day prominent republican told us
that an ADVISORY committee was a
part of the republican machinery
of the county and gave us the
names Of the members of the COM
mittee. He also told us that the
duty of the committee was to pass
upon prospective candidates for
office. Today another republican,
equally prominent told us we were
mistaken as to the duties of the
committee, end that its duty was
to keep republican candidates for
county clerk and county recorder
from opposing the present recorder
and clerk. In this they had failed,
because candidates for these Offices
had coppered the advice of the
committee.

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 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.
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. 49,.

TEL LING THE TRUTH

At the present time there are
three parties in the field, each as
surfing its followers that victory
is certain. There are thousands of
democrats, thousands of republican,
and it is barely possible, but doubt
full, that there are thousands of
Roosevelt zealots who .religiously
believe, without knowing or con-
sidering the forces and circum-
stances behind and opposed to each
that their respective candidates
will hit the tape on election night
far in advance of the next closest
IN the race. The chief reason for
such belief is that their ears are
closed to all arguments that tend
otherwise. They implicitly believe
the, statements of the campaign
managers, who tell The truth as
did Baron .Munchausen.
Even the candidates themselves
do ishot want to know the truth
when it is unsatisfactory. Ju.t
imagine Roosevelt leader going
to his chief and reporting that de-
feat was as inevitable. furious
storm would sweep such bencman
from the CoIonel's presence; the
atmosphere would be filled with in
coherent expletives; traitor"
"liar.,' coward and less modest
words would busrt in the air like
crackers ON: an insane Fourth.
If the bearers of bad new came
to Taft, the. genial smile, which
shows the deteriating effect of long
wear, would fade like sunset
from his face and language in
harmony with darkened coun-
tenance would reproach the lieu
tenant for lacking in enthusiasm
and for being easily disbeartened.
AS for Wilson, well, at least
during this campaign no democrat
having high regard for the truth
would make discouraging report!

EXPERIMENTS II|' |: RI WITH
80. - j.. 49,. : THE MAGIC WAND

Until recently every ,geologist
and civil engineer smiled at the su-
persition, with which. former CEN
.turies treated the magic wand as a
sure means Of finding waite: or
minerals deposited underground,
1t seems, however, as though 10
change was setting in. The reason
is to be found in the undeniable
practical results achieved by some
German ,ncblemen who tried. their
luck with the magic wand in South
Africa: 1t has heen officially stat
ed that during the last few years
83 per cent of all experiments with
the magic wand proved successful,
in as far; as water. was actually
found on the indicated spots. In
many eases the supply was soon
exhausted; but in more than one
half of all tested cases the ground
water detected by the magic wand
was permanently sufficient for the
breeding farms established on the
spot.
These experiments have been
Systematically continued in north
ern Germany. Tie believers in
the powers of the. magic wand
offered to find layers of kali as we'll
as water. The experiments have
been surprising thus far. On our
pose the experiments were made in
districts where horings had already
taken place. the results of which
being still kept secret by the min
ing authorities. The result was
that the spot of the layers and their
axis could be. located .bv means of
the magic wand, as comparison
with tine secret maps proved. In
consequence, the Prussian govern
ment has given orders to continue
these experiments and an association
has been formed "for throwing
light; on;the magic wand problem. "

a Slight tax paid by both the en-

The maternity benefits amount to

Two objections to the scheme have

compulsory, and therefore interferes
with the liberty Of the individual,
and the second is that its tendency
is to make the wage earners depend
on the government rather than on
