Garden And Flower Seeds

Senator Key Pittman requests the
SENTINEL to make public the follow
ing offer of Government seeds:
| should appreciate it, if you would
announce in your paper that my al
lotment of vegetable and flower
seeds has been made and that | will
gladly fill any requests for same, so
long as the supply is available, pro-
vided the applicants are not at the
present time on the lists of Senator
Newlands or Congressman Roberts.
The seeds will be distributed by
the Department of Agriculture early
next Spring. 1t is my desire and in
tention to send the vegetable seeds
only to those who live in agricultural
communities where they have an OPP
p~ortunity to use the seeds and test
their value. The flower seeds, on
the other hand, will be sent promis-
cuously throughout the State to
those who apply for them.

Summary of President Message

The following is a summary of the Presidents views o various
public topics discussed in the message that he read Tuesday at
the beginning of the second session of the sixty-third Congress:
MExIoo-Huerta is denounced as a foe to good government,
the head of a military despotism. His downfall is predicted, and
the hope expressed that order and peace will be brought about
CURRENCY BnL-That the concentration aud energy of the SEN
ate be directed upon the currency bill is urged, the plea being made
that the country awaits its passage with Impotence. Reference is
made to the farmers credit plan, which is highly commended, and
special provisions along this line r. urged. Reference is made to
rural credits in Europe and to Investigations into them that have
been made by the United States.
The SHERMAN BnL-The President believes that the Sherman
bill is a good measure, but with debatable provisions. He urges
that the points subject to debate should be amended or eliminated
by legislation. He regards it as of importance that the business
men of this country should be relieved of anxiety by having the
legal path made clear for them.
DIRECT PRIMARY-Prompt enactment of Legislation that will pro-
vide for the selection OF Presidential candidates by the direct pri-
mary is earnestly advocated.
ISLAND PossEssIoNs-The President declares that Porto Rico,
Hawaii and the Philippines must be administered for the benefit Of
the people that are in them, and believes that they should be grad
ually given more power until finally they are fitted for independ-
ence.
AIAsKA-Ful territorial powers should be given to Alaska, says
the President, and the country, as a storehouse, should be unlocked.
One key, he says. is a system of railways to be built and admins
tered by the Government.
BUREAU OF MNEs-It is recommended that the Bureau Of
Mines be so equipped and empowered that it can render more efec-
tal service. The President believes in improving the condition of
mine labor and making the mines more productive and more safe.
EMPLOYERS LIABuITY-A fair and effective employers liability
act for the railway employees Of the country is advocated, it being
urged that such a law would be to the advantage of both employer
and employee.
.gresss for the Safety at Sea sitting in London, and declares that
the Government should address itself as soon as possible to the
prompt alienation of every unsafe, unjust and burdensome condi-
ton imposed upon sailors.

To make sure the y%oungster was

Nevada Wheat the Best

Few probably know that the first
prize for wheat, given at the New Or
leans Cotton Exposition in 1856,
was won by a Nevada man and the
wheat shown at that time was the
finest wheat ever exhibited in any
State. The wheat was grown by
Barney Reymers in Mason Valley
and was from a grade of wheat
which had won fame all owe the
West. The wheat would grow in
but few localities, and being of far
too good a grade to be grown by the
large wheat farmers, taking too
much attention, failed to become
general. A fire on the Reymers
ranch destroyed all the seed wheat
held by Mr.. Reyers and since that
time the wheat has not been grown
in the State.
The visitors to the exposition in
New Orleans started to filling their
pockets with the wheat from the ex-
position bins and it was necessary to
place a guard over it. The wheat
remaining after the exposition was
sold to English farmers for a dollar
a mound.

Kills Indian Girl AT Elko

Bessie Andy, a pretty young Indian
girl, had her throat cut at Elko Fri
day night by Jose Salgado, a Mexi-
can who was in love with her. There
were five bad slashes on the girls
body and she died Immediately. The
stabbing took place in front of the
Bakery saloon, the busiest spot in
Elko, in view of a dozen men, who
were powerless to prevent the trag-
edy, so swiftly did the man act. Sal
gado rushed ahead of the mob that
took after him and surrendered to
the sheriff. The Indian girl had
been trifing with the Mexican's af-
fections, it is said.

MUST PAY HEAVY ROYALTY
But Lessees Of Cutting Mines at Ham
ilton Have Developed Ore Bodies to
Work In

A lease from Frederick p. Cutting
and w. H.. Chickering, as executors
of the estate of Francis Cutting, to
John w. Nyce, Of Ely, for patented
mining property in the White Pine
mining district, near Hamilton, was
filed last Saturday with the County
Recorder.
Under the terms of the lease the
lessee must pay a heavy royalty on
all ore taken out. The scale is as
follows:
Forty-five per cent of the gross
value of all ore exceeding S100to the
ton in value. T%hirty-five per cent of
the gross value of all ore running
from $50 to 500 a ton. Thirty per
cent of the gross value of all ore run
ming less than $50 ton.
The lease is for a period of two
years, and will expire November /,
1915.
Claims and mines included in the
lease are all of the Jennie A., Black
Rock, Black Rock Extension, North
ern Crown and a fve-eighths interest
in the Mayfiower, Dividend, Crescent
and Gore.
The cause of the heavy royalty de-
mand lies in the fact that the mine
is already developed with several
thousand tons of ore of good grade
in sight.--Ely Record.

Check System For Alfalfa

Gardnerville Record Courier: Pick
up most any farm journal and you
will find columns devoted to the prop
err manner of planting and irrigating
alfalfa. The check system of irriga-
ton is invariably recommended.
This system was first adopted in this
valley only to be abandoned for the
furrow method, which has been
adopted by every alfalfa farmer in
Carson Valley. 1t is superior to the
check or flooding system and we be-
lieve was first put into practical use
by the farmers of this valley.

The jury in the case of j. F. Nc
Comb, charged with stealing a horse
and changing the brand on it, failed
to reach a verdict after celebrating
about 80 hours. The Elko Free

acquittal and four for conviction on
the last ballot. The case was reset
for the opening of the next term of
court.

Nevada State News

1t is said that no one can be found
at Gardnerville who will take the
postmastership to succeed the incum-
bent, as long as he wants the job.
The Washoe County Commissioners
have definitely declined to contribute
their premiums to the Nevada Indus
trial Commission, and the matter
will probably now be tested in the
courts.
That the legality of the ten per
cent horizontal raise made by the
State Tax Commission on the assessed
valuation of all property in Humboldt
County to be tested in the courts, is
indicated by the action taken by the
Western Pacific Company and other
large taxpayers in making formal
protest when paying the first Install
ment of their taxes for 1918.
1t is reported that there are about
25 cases of impetago among the stu
dents at the Stewart Indian school at
Carson. This disease resembles the
so-called Manila itch, aform of small
pox and is contagious. The patients
have all been isolated and it is be-
lieved that the run of the disease is
limited.---Carson News.
w. r. McFadden, travelling audi
tor for the Nevada Industrial Com
mission is at Ely to explain to the
employers their duty regarding the
sending of data to the commission.
Many merchants and others who en-
ploy labor have apparently neglected
to notify the commission of their ac-
ceptance or rejection of the provis-
ions relative to the premiums to be
paid for employees.

Morris Murphy, about 20 years old
and we'll known in Virginia, where I'M
til few weeks ago he was employed
at the Virginia & Rainy Lake mill,
was arrested at Crosby Tuesday after
noon with John Sullivan of Ironwood,
Mich, for the theft of an automobile
from a garage in Ironwood last Sat-
urday, after an exciting cross coun-
try chase in which Murphy and Su}i-
van, driving a high power car at top
speed distanced sheriffs and police
officers and set a record between the
upper Michigan country and the Head
Of the Lakes.
Sheriff Rowett of Gogebic county,
who believed that Murphy and Sulli-
van would head for Virginia arrived
here Monday to effect their arrest.
He was informed Tuesday noon that
the pair had been taken into custody
at Crosby on the Guyana range, where
their peculiar actions led to suspicion
being directed to them and a COMPARE
son of the number on the car they
were driving and that telegraphed

For the purpose of making the an
nual tax levy, in accordance with The
provisions of the city charter, the city
council will meet Thursday night of
next week=as conference committe.
1t is not anticipated that the levy will
be larger than last year, when it was
somewhat in excess of 100000.
Mayor Murphy has declared for a
program of economy consistent with
good business and the making of nee.
essary improvements, and does not
believe a larger sum of money than
for last year will be necessary.
The biggest thing in the way of Hl"-
nicipal improvements in sight for next
year will be sewer extensions and i'm,
provements. The present outlook is
that the paving improvements for the
year 1914 will not be large, while it
is imperative that a good deal of work
be done on the sewer system, which
includes the widening Of the creek at
the outlet, the installation of larger

broadcast over the country by the
1ronwood police tailed. The pair will
go back to Gogebic county to face a
charge of grand larceny and both will
probably get long terms in a penal
institution. Sullivan is said to be
about Fl years old.
The theft of the machine, as d2s-
cribed by Sheriff Rowett was parti:-
ularly daring. The young men en-
tered the garage drove a fully equip
ped car out and were gone for Some
hours before the police were gotten
on their trail. Driving by day and by
night they made rapid time to Mime
sofa, negotiated the trip without &C.
cident and it is believed had intended
to sell the car at some small town and
decamp with the proceeds of the sale.
Sheriff Rowett left Virginia Monday
night satisfied that the Crosby auth
critics had the right parties in GUS
tody.
Murphy is we'll known here and
always bore an excellent reputation.
His friends are at a loss to account
for his connection with the escapade.
