Conservation

1T takes a drouth or some other real object lesson to bring
TO the minds of the people the reality of necessity. Conserva-
ton of the forests is now being given more serious consideration
than ever before. The fact that the water sheds of the West
denuded of timber in many places, and that springs have
dried up by lack of proper forest protection, is bringing to mind
the fact that ruthless and extra VACANT tmbering has been allow
ed in all sections.
This section has such an object lesson. Originally great
pines decorated the mountains to the valleys edges. They We're
MT and without any reservation. The sole object was to get the
money tina 1.-THE timber would hring. The consequence is that
the snow line has gone far up the hill, bare spots occur where
the Sun melts the spring snow and freshets come where they
were retarded by the bank of forest trees.
This is but one small section on the globe where this condi
ton exists. Had there been a plan of conservation adopted ear
ler many a fine tree would now be standing, adding its shade
and helping the people to-day, who ae fighting for water and
must realize that nature cannot be robbed without a penalty.
If it were possible there should be enforced state laws that
would regulate the cutting of TIMBER. No hillside should be
denuded of it's trees. Scientific cutting should be in order and
the owners of the forest would benefit in the end. It takes hard
object lessons to impress the a American. but it is not yet too late
to help protect the second growth that is doing its share to hold
the moisture. Another legsla tive year should SET better laws
on this score.

DO IT NOW FOR CARSON. BOOST!

EVERYONE in this city and especially the auto owners
should be at the public meeting at the court room this evening
and take a active part in formulating a program for the recep-
ton and entertainment of the members of the Indiana Automo-
bile Association when they arrive here on the 24th instant. Meet
them and give them a reception which will cause them to remem-
Der Carson City, Nevada and speak favorably of us and ours
wherever they go. It's a boosting proposition all along the line
and Carson is sadly lax and badly need of a little boosting. The
Association is playing the game well from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc and certainly there are loyal people enough here to see that
Ormsby does its share toward letting the outsiders know that we
are6on earth and that they are all welcome within our borders.

To the Vote

How will Senator Newlards vote on the final action of the
new tariff bill? Some believe the Nevada Senator will vote
with the administration and for the bill. Others are of the opln-
ion that he will stand with the interests. 1t is up to the Sena-
tor and his actions are being kept under pretty close tab by the
Democrats of Nevada.
AT the present time Senator NewlandS, through one of his
secretaries, is sending out a lot of franked explanations of his
stand on the tariff question and his votes against the admlnlstra-
ton policy. In no instance does this franked explanation t!
just why he advocated the ehc ton of Pittman to help reduce the
tariff, and then gets in behind the big money to make his fight
in Washington. That was not part of the program.
Within a few weeks the new tariff schedule will be given It's
test vote. Newlands may be able to defeat the program, a S he
has promised to add amendments from the floor of the Senate and
argue on the same. The mailing of his speeches will probably
continue up to the moment of the vote. The one question that
his constituency and the Democrats of Nevada in particular,
want to know is, how r. you going to vote, Mr.. Newlands?

ALL SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONS

THERE is one phaze of the shortage of water question that
the people themselves are called upon to meet and over which at
this time the Water Company has no control, and that is regar-
ing the purifying of water used for domestic purposes, especial
ly for drinking. The people can take precautions in this mat
ter and it should be done in every househould. Drinking water
should be strained and better still, boiled, before using. This
city is extremely fortunate in having good, pure water, but this
season, owing to the drouth and condition of supply it behooves
all to use the utmost precautions for heaths sake.

KEEP THE MONEY AT HOME

ONE of the best ways to save $4,000 to the citizens Of
Nevada would be to kill the appropriations for the San Francis
co and San Diego Fairs. AS stated by the Appeal several
months ago, and it is yet of the same opinion, that what this
State can exhibit at these Fairs as against the exhibits of the n
tire world, would rebound to the discredit of Nevada instead of
being for its benefit. These Fairs are a California boosting prop
ositon and Nevada can do better in the boosting line by spending
her money at home.

The girl walked into BinEhamton
