his Grass valley ranch. The hole is
40 inches in diameter, and is down for
depth of 4s feet, with 35 feet of wa

capacity of 1,200 gallons each per
minute.
M. Il. Johnson mas been using a 10

SINGLE FARE RATE
FOR round TRIP

The Grand Army Encampment which
meets at Reno June 10th to 14th, in
elusive, has secured railroad rates
from all points in Nevada and Califor-
mia, and some points in Oregon and
Arizona, at one fare for round trip.
This is the lowest rate that has ever
been granted to any mee- ng in the
state of Nevada. Tickets will be sold
from the Sth to the 10th of June and
good returning to the Both of June
This will give any friends who wish
to visit Winnemucca, who reside in
California and some parts of Oregon
and Arizona the privilege of visiting
for two weeks and returning for one
fare, round trip.
The San Francisco Chamber of
Commerce will run special Booster s
train to Reno during the encampment,
and the plans are being made by that
body now.
1t might be advisable for Humboldt
county to get some displays and ex-
hibits of both mineral and agricul
tural resources upon the streets of
Reno, so that the people can see what
resources we have.

TARIFF DfBATfRS
SCATTERING MUD

Republcanism was described as
dead, damned and lost forever;D
Democracy was accused of rushing
to "clean its feet ON the Progressive
party doormat,' and the Progressive
party was characterized as "branch
shoot from the dead Republican
trunk in the three-cornered tariff
debate in the house.
Representatives Hamilton and
Fordney, Of Michigan, took up the
cudgels for the Republican minority,
the latter bitterly assailing the sugar
schedule apd the free listing of lum-
ber and wool as ruinous to American
industry. Representative Hamilton
ridiculed the Democrats and criticis-
ed the president.
With the cocksureness of the man
accustomed to instruct the immature
mind of YOUTH he said, "the presi-
dent, in his address to congress-, under
took to settle in eight minutes prob
lens that have vexed the minds of
statesmen for more than hundred
years.
Spreckels Behind Free Sugar.
1.-THE free sugar provision of this
BILL, said Representative Fordney,
was proposed with the assistance Of
Frank G. Lowry, press agent of the
committee of wholesale grocers, which
has never held meeting, and SO far
as I can learn, all the money expended
by Lowry in his free sugar campaign
was supplied by August Spreckels,
president of the Federal Su0ar Refn-
ing company of New York.
"Another Spreckels, Rudolph OF
San Francisco, was one of the most
ardent supporters of President Wilson
during the last campaign, financially
and otherwise. Between Rudolph
Spreckels in San Francisco and August
Spreckels in New York, God help the
sugar industry
Democratic Senators Enter Protest
That the protest made to the ma
jority members of the senate finance
committee by Democratic senators
from Oregon, Nevada, Montana, Ari-
zona, Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas
against free wool and free sugar will
prove of no avail and that the tariff
bill will be reported to the senate
practically as it passes the house is
the opinion of Republican leaders of
the senate.
eff these western Democrats want
protection for the wool and sugar
industries of the states they represent
it is only necessary that four of them
vote against the free wool and sugar
provisions of the bill when it reaches
the senate" say the Republican lead
ers.
In fact, only two would be neees-
sary in the case of sugar, as both
Louisiana senators will vote against
free sugar.
The Republicans believe the pro-
test of the western Democrats is be-
ing made simply for home eonsump-
tion and that they will vote for the
bill in the senate, no matter whether
it carries free wool and free sugar or
not. They base their belief not only
on their own canvasses and the decla-
rations made by some of these same
western Democrats who protested
against free wool and sugar that they
would vote for the house bill, but also
on the confidence of President Wilson
and administration leaders in congress
that the bin will pass as introduced
in the house with few minor
changes

BEET CROP MADE SUGAR
Dr0uth Cut Yield to One-Third-
100000 Pounds of Sugar.

Garden City, Kan. Dec 15.-The sugar
making campaign Of the sugar factory
here has ended and 1900 tons of sugar
heets were made into 100000 pounds of
sugar while the factory was in operation.
Owing to the adverse growing season the
beet crop this year was short and the
factory closed down earlier than usual
Despite this, the United States Sugar and
Land company paid out more than $4,000
to the farmers who raised sugar beets.
The sugar beets used in the factory were
grown in Greenwood, Chase, Lyon, Paw
nee. Hamilton. F1nney and Kearney coun-
ties. In good year. when the beet crop
makes a maximum YIELD the factory fig
ures would be multiplied by three; there
would have been three times as many
beets raised, the sugar making campaign
would have been three times as long and
three times as much money would be paid
out to the farmers for beets AS 1t was,
sugar beets withstood the sereve droruth
and made a most profitable crop in a bad
year. Farmers who raised sugar beets
this year found them to be an excellent
stock food when feed is scarce and a crop
that made a good yield when others were
failures.
The officers Of the factory are doubtful
of the future of the sugar making busi-
ness with sugar going on the free list.
but with the million dollars factory on
their hands they will keep going as long
as possible and will make contracts for
beets in 1914 with the farmers.

Incompetent Road Builders
Cost State Millions Yearly.
Agricultural College Offers
Correspondence Course.

Manhattan, Kan, Dec. 15.-That
Kansas is wasting four million dollars
a year in road and bridge work. was
recent statement Of Governor Hodges.
Much Of the money is lost through the
hiring Of inefficient road overseers. The
Kansas Agricultural college is Offering
to those interested in road building,
and especially to those responsible for
road building, correspondence courses

believes that public men-the trustees,
clerks and treasurers who hire the ov-
erseers-should know enough of road
construction to enable them to choose
competent workers. The courses, which
are prepared in the office Of w. 8.
Gearhart, state engineer. are supplied
to the individual at slight cost.
One Of the courses is a general study
Of road building, which treats of the
construction Of all sorts Of roads, Of
road drainage. culverts. bridges, grad
ing. ana other essentials. More detailed
study Ia made in the other cores
pondence courses Of concrete work,
pavements. bridge building, surveying.
ana necessary work in drawing and
mathematics. Information in regard to
the courses may be obtained from ].

ORCHARDIsTS FEAR FOR FRUIT.
Afraid Warm Weather May Cause
Death of Blossom.

Ottawa, Kan, Dec. 15.-Local or
chardists express the fear that the alb
normal warm and wet period may re-
suit disastrously for the fruit crop
next season. If a hard freeze should
set in now, with the buds swelling. the
1914 crop would be damaged.
According to the weather wise, not
in years has such a winter season been
noted here. Many garden plants are
blooming. particularly pansies and vio-
lets, while the flaming yellow of the
dandelion Is familiar. Various vege-
tables have enterprisingly appeared in
the back yard gardens and citizens are
enjoying green things a. in the early
spring.
