that the economic benefits to the commu-

greatly underestimate.
Two notable points in all these studies
are the rise In land values and the de-
crease in the cost OF hauling. These two
benefits are not entirely distinct, for the
farm probably increases in value because
the cost OF hauling crops is reduced But
the reduced cost of hauling crops is not
the only reason for an increase in land
values where the roads have been i'm
proved. The site value and conveniences
and many other things which are difficult
to measure all contribute to the increase

the work of getting the camps in readi-
ness is we'll under way. The operations
will include both spruce.for pulp wood,
and birch and maple which will be sold

amount cut win be in excess OF last year.
One camp is to be established at No. 2
pond, back of Phillips mountain, and the
old camps there are being repaired and
made ready for the men. Another old
camp in the cove beyond the Holyoke cot

Quarantine Against Christmas Trees2

Quarantine Against Christmas Trees?
A quarantine OF Christmas trees and
forest products in New England states
may be established by the department OF
agriculture as result OF a war being
waged against the gypsy moth, the brown
tail moth and the spruce bud moth which
are among the most destructive insects
which attack fruit, shade and forest trees.
The moths are known to exist in limited
areas in Maine, New Hampshire, Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.
II the proposed quarantine is esta blished,
the secretary OF agriculture will issue
regulations providing for the inspection of
forest products, such as cordwood, ium-
Der, telephone poles and railroad ties,
shipped out OF the quarantined area. The
shipment of Christmas trees and greens in
all probability will be prohibited, except
in SO far as it may be possible to inspect
them.
Before the quarantine is esta blished the
secretary Of agriculture will hold public
hearings.

lips went to Carson for the par-
pose of comforting with the officials
of the Nevada Consolidated COM
pany for the purchase of their
Carson Valley telephone system.
The latter company could give no

ed purchasers, because of an exist
ing agreement with the Pacific
States people in which the latter
has the first privilege of purchase
in the event of sale. However,
it was agreed to give the Farmers
an answer regarding their proposal
of purchase within ten days or two
weeks.
The action of the officials of the
Farmers company was taken upon
the belief that if the lines of the
existing eompany could be pur-
chased ct reasonable figure they
should consider such a deal. On
the other hand they are rea1y to
close contracts for pols, wire and
all necessary material for the COM
plete system, as planned, provided
that for any reason they fail to
acquire the holdings of the old

Must Keep Record of

The merchantsl and others are
beginning to take notice of some Of
the new laws that ara embraced In
the code being distributed by the
State. 1t would not be surprising
ii many of the new laws were be-
ing violated, as there has been no
chance for publicity. There
should have been some way to
make important laws public but
this seems to have been overlooked
mainly because some newspaper
The Record-courier. [volume] (Gardnerville, Nev.) 1904-current, 1912-02-09

would have put in a bill for the
work. One of the new laws is that
of regulating the sale of dynamite.
The merchants of the State will in
the future be compelled to keep
record OF all dynamite or giant
powder sold to customers. In the
future the party buying dynamite
will have to sign a book and tell
the purpose of the purchase.
