PROSECUTORS BENEFIT
. BY FEDERAL RULING

Inc attitude OF the department
IF the interior with respect to pro-
tecting and specifically excepting
mineral lands in the patents Is
sued on railroad land grants, is
stated in a letter received by
Colonel w. S. Proskey in reply to
an inquiry, and shows that here
after the burden Of proof. will be
upon the railroads to secure lands
claimed to be mineral and those
claiming mineral lands from the
railroads will have less difficulty
in establishing their claim whether
patents have been issued or not.
Under the new ruling promul-
gated by Secretary of the Interior
Fisher, April. 1911. all patents
hereafter issued shall contain an
express exception removing from
the title conveying all lands
mineral in character now known
or hereafter discovered to be
mineral"
1t will operate to make merely
the discovery of mineral lands held
under agricultural land patents,
sufficient TO segre9ate that land
from the patent without recourse
to litig' tion on the part of the
1iscoverer and it will make the liti-
CATION go the other way, requiring
the iniative for possession TO be
taken by the railroad.
The ruling will apply to patents
TO be issued later than April, 1911.
Patents issued prior to April, 1911,
and having no specific exception
will probably remain AS difficult of
attack as they have been in the
past. The latter depend fer attack
on the reading of the grant which
I'D not inclune mineral land, but
after a patent has been secured
having no exception of mineral
lands specifically noted. the pre-
sumption arises that they are no
mineral lands in that tract and
this presumption is hard to over
throw after notice. The only
method Ct overthrowinp it is on
the allegatio ms of fraud claiming
insufficient notice and misrepre-
sentatipn.
On patents to be issued here
after, however, there will be pro-
vision conveying only agricultural
land. Any land not agricultural,
whether known then or later
discovered will not be conveyed
and will be open to prospectors.
1t will not be necessary for pros
pectt rs to watch when patents are
issued or to appear and make proof
that the land 10 mineral Neither
will they be foreclosed for delay
in finding the mineral character of
the land.-Reno Journal.

the PRISON WARDENSHIP

The Tribune yesterday discussed
briefly Nevada's unfortunate
prison scandal which has been
brewing and stewing aud emitting
its Unsavory odors for months,
reaching a climax in the removal
of q warden who should never
have been appointed, by a board
which should never have heen
authorized to appoint anyone, and
having the authority shoul never
exercised it in such a choice.
The people two years ago
selected the prison board which is
vested with the appointing power
and charged with supervision
over the chief penal institution of
the sta e. The board consists of
three members. Each party
nominated q candidate for each
place. One. presumably because
he would make q good governor.
another presumably because he
would make a good secretary of
state. and another presumably
because he would be capable at
torney general. No voter in the
primaries ever for a moment con-
templated the responsibility con-
nected with their service on the
prison board. The general election
followed the primaries and these
candidates contested through the
campaign and went to the polls on
every issue except tt at of qualifica-
tion for prison supervision. The
incumbent warden was charged
with undue activity in the cam
paign. He cast his fortunes with
Governor Dickerson. who lost. The
warden was not a good loser. and
tried to hold the Office, but it was
taken fer granted that a change in
the board, would mean his retire
ment. The board was composed of
two democrats and one republican.
There was one applicant able to
control the votes of two out of the
three members of the board. one
member being his brother, and
this man got the job. Personally,
good fellow, but no student OF
prison affairs would ever have
dreamed of Ray Baker in connec-
tion with succe ssful prison
management? On the other Land
what prison manager with any re-
gard for his reputation would
undertake the management Of q
prison under the supervision of
such board? The man big
enough and capable of such an
undertaking would see in advance
inevitable failure.

duces badness Never use a comb or
brush belonging to some one else. No
matter how eeanly the owner may be,
these articles may be infected with mi
crobes, which will infect your scalp.

single stroke of an infected comb or
brush may well lead to badness.
Never try on anybody else's hat.
Many hat. band is a resting place for
microbes.

Tonic is the best hair tonic and restor-
ative in existence, and no one should

LADY BUGS BY TONS
USED TO FIGHT PESTS

-Four tons Of ladybirds, called in
common parlance ladybugs, co, 600, 900
in all. sufficient % keep the destructive
meion aphis from 200. 900 acres of mel
ons, aud also used 20 protect the apple
and pruHe trees and seed gardens Of
California, will be harvested 10 three
weeks from the SHOWS Of the Sierras
By +. *. Carnes, superintendent Of the
state insectary, with four helpers.
The crop Of insects viii be carried
out Of the deep SHOWS Of the noun
tains. where they hibernate. They are
go valuable TO the melon-grOwers Of
Imperial Valley that the growers will
not plant unless they are assured that
She state will furnish the ladybirds.
Each Winter for the past three years
the horticultural commission has been
supplying them.
Thirty millions Of these friendly lit
tie bugs are required to wage a sue
cessful campaign against the aphis
which infest melons, especially musk
melons and cantalOupes. They are
gathered from their Winter sleeping
place under the pine needles which lie
beneath many feet of snow. Brought
from the mountains 10 Sacramento,
they are placed in cold storage and
kept in a state Of suspended animation
until the farmers Of the southland and
the orchardists Of the deciduous belt
cry for help. Then they are shipped
out in specially prepared crates, 10000
to a crate.
Ore hundred and fifty pounds, or
4, 500, 600 ladybirds, are carried on one
mules back IN sacks from the regions
above Blue Canyon to the nearest
railroad station. They are like little
round pellets and are only asleep, not
frozen.
Carnes and his assistants have the
work systematized so that they now
have maps of the mountains and gulch-
es in the Blue Canyon region, showing
the exact spot where the colonies of
sleeping ladybirds are to be found.
The field chosen by these bugs is less
than two miles square and near Towle.
Carnes in an interview today said that
the supply of ladybirds in the district
which he has harvested several times
IS getting smaller. He fears that if
some other extensive field is not dis
covered the supply within a few years
will fall short of the rapidly increas-
ing demand.

LEAGUE PLANS TO
INTEREST FOREIGNERS

The latest move Of the Northwest
Development League is 20 ask the fed
eral government 10 collect. publish IN
different languages and distribute 10
foreigners as soon as they arrive on
our shores. all the information possible
about the states having vacant lauGs,
about their products ard the opportun-
ties awaiting a family willing to work
and having only small means
To accomplish this the League is
backing a bin introduced into the
United States Senate by Senator
Brown Of Nebraska, which amends the
act to regulate the admission OF aliens
into the United States and makes it
obligatory on the part Of the General
immigration Commissioner to give
this information to foreigners when
they are admitted to the United States.
The League is asking Congressman
Pray Of Montana TO push the bill in the
house anu to introduce one making an
appropriation TO carry out the pr0yis-
ions of the act.
The Secretary Of Commerce and La
Dor is understood to he favorable to
the proposition ana willing to make a
success of the campaign if the bills
are passed.
Another clause in the amendment
makes it lawful for agents and ter
ritories 10 have access to aliens at the
ports where foreigners are admitted
and gives them the privilege, under
certain regulations. Of presenting the
claims Of such states and territories
either in writing or orally that the
aliens may learn first hand where they
can 90 TO farm.
"Many Of these immigrants were
farmers in the old country and would
go to farms instead Of to cities if they
had some information from a reliable
source when they first came to the
country" says the secretary of the
league. "The trouble is they do not
get the information until after they
become acquainted in some city and
are stripped Of the means of starting
on lands. Many Of them have the re-
sources when they arrive but spend
their last dollar before they discover
that it would have been possible for
them to have secured lands. Then they
are hopelessly bound to the city and
it is hard for them to get again as
much as they had when they arrived. "
