Judge Langan Replies.

Judge Langan has issued a pam
phlet in reply to the charges made
against him i'll the State Bank case
by Attorney General Fletcher. From
the Judges statements it seems that
he is innocent OF any wrong doing and
has handled the matter openly and
above board. The article is too
lengthy for publication in our col
umns. 1t is not very likely, we are
informed. that Governor Oddie will
call special session of the legisla
ture especially for this matter. There
is more or less politics mixed up in
the case and it looks as though some
body was after Langan's scalp, with
poor show of getting it just at the
present time Judge Langan has many
warm friends in Lyon county who do
not take much stock in the charges
made to the Attorney General.

Is the Sagebrush Doomed.

The story is again being revived
that rubber is to be made out of sage
brush and that Nevada, being the
home of the shrub. is to see the des-
erts denuded OF the brush. Along with
this story comes one that the sage
brush is now the victim OF worm
that is destroying it very rapidly, and
that in a few years the hardy shrub
of the plains will be known no longer
to the prospector, the burro, the jack
rabbit and the coyote. Nevada Is
called the sagebrush State and should
she lose her vast area OF this humble
and homely shrub she would, indeed,
be desolate. as there would be moth
ing but sand left on the plains 1t
would be well to investigate this worm
that is creating so much damage and
see ii it cannot be exterminated.
Sagebrush is not delight to the eye
of the Fastener, but the person who
has lived amongst it for years has a
love for it that does not tire. and any
old Nevadan who visits other parts
of the universe is always glad to get
back where he can get the aroma OF
the shrub

4, Indians Must Not Gamble.

There are quite number of In
dams on the Walker Lake Reservation
doing penance for gambling. The
agent there sent forth an edict some
time ago that gambling must cease
on the Reservation, but it seems but
little attention was paid to it. Last
Sunday there was great gambling
bout at Schurz and the agent placed
Is or more Piutes under arrest and
they were sentenced to hard labor for
two weeks. Considerable timber is
being cut down near Schurz and the
female members of the tribe who were
caught gambling were sentenced to
cut the limbs off the fallen trees while
the bucks were put to work cutting
I'D the logs.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
ABOUT THIS, Mr.. HUNTER?
Uncle Sam Passes Stringent Wild
Goose and Duck Law.

Wild ducks and geese are protected
in every State i'll the Union under the
provisions OF a federal law passed at
Washington by the national congress,
as one OF the last measures OF the TAFT
administration, and regardless OF open
season, it is now unlawful to kill
duck or goose III any State at any
time of the year The law is by tar
the most sweeping and drastic III the
history of all hsh and game laws
Since the passage OF this act the
States are rendered powerless to IN
any way change it. NO State can now
make duck or goose shooting legal.
Under this act the killing OF duck
or goose is crime contrary to the
federal law.
The birds are classed as migratory
birds by the government and tine OF
$50 and 90 days imprisonment is pro
vided for the violation of the law. For
a long time there has been agitation
favoring a federal law for the protec-
ton of game fowl to prevent their
complete determination 1t has been
said that wild turkeys, wild geese and
some other wild fowl have almost en-
tirely disappeared all over the coun-
try. Wild ducks have also become
scarce.
So the government put bill
through as rider of the sundry civil
appropriation bill to prohibit the kill
ing of migratory birds, those which
do not spend the year in any one OF
the States, but which move from the
north to the south and from the south
to the north in the spring.-Exchange,

THE ANTARCTIC CONTINENT.

Yankee Sailor In 1877.

u "aO FlrOS 0toooNOfOo oy q Daring
Yankee Sailor In 1877.
History presents from time to
time some curious anomalies, and
not the least among these is the
story of the original discovery of
the great continent surrounding
the south pole, says Outing. A
grim, inaccessible coast, guarded
from mans approach by fields of
impossible ice foes and bergs, it
resisted all efforts of the ablest of
early explorers to win its shores,
only to be discovered at last bv a
boy of eighteen in command of a
little forty ton sloop.
Nathaniel Palmer was the lads
name, and he came of the best of
old New England seafaring stock.
After some preliminary training at
sea, young Palmer sailed in 1912 or
1914 as second mate of bark
bound for the sealing grounds of
the south Atlantic. After some
weeks of fruitlcss exploration and
terrific struggles with the 'wintry
gales of the region about Cape
Horn they came at last to the south
Shetland islands and soon had fill
ed the vessels hold with fortune
in furs.
This voyage made such stir in
all the New England seaport towns
on their return that before many
years second expedition was fitted
out and Palmer, now Captain Nat,
was given command of little down
east sloop called the Hero, which
was sent along in consort with the
larger vessels. This diminutive
craft could hardly have been more
than sixty feet in length, but she
weathered successfully the rigors of
wind and sea and arrived in due
course at her destination.
At this time nothing was known
of the existence of any land of
continental extent within the ant.
arctic circle-nor did Captain Nat
much care whether there was such
or not. What he was looking for
was seals. So when he came upon
long stretch of coast line facing
to the north in the vicinity of the
sixtieth meridian west of Green
wich he examined the shore for
possible rookeries and, finding moth
ing but ice and penguins, sailed
away back again to the north'ard.
A few days after this the little
Hero fell in with two tall ships Of
the Russian navy under Command
er Bellingshausen. When young
Palmer went on board for lunch at
the commanders invitation and
mentioned casually his discovery of
land to the southland he must have
been surprised, indeed, to learn that
that which he in his little sloop had
Numbered upon unsought and had
turned away from in disgust, these
mighty ships of the car of all the
Russias had for two years been
seeking in vain.
Commander Bcllingshausen, to
do him justice, gave young Palmer
full credit for his discovery, and
this--the first portion of the ant
arctic continent to be seen by man
lis set down upon the maps today
as Palmerland in enduring tribute
to the daring Of the Yankee sailor
lad who first caught sight of it from
the deck of little sailboat in the
year of grace 1921.

It happens not to find. but OPP

world has been governed In tho

has scarcely been perceived by
any real effects beyond their
own palaces. When, therefore.
the desire Of wealth Is taking
hold Of the heart let us look
around and see how 1t operates
upon those whose industry or
fortune has obtained 1t. When
we find them oppressed with
their own abundance, luxurious
without pleasure. idle without
ease, impatient and Querulous In
themselves and despised or hat

shall soon be convinced that If
the real wants Of our condition
are satisfied there remains little
to be sought with solicitude or
