STOCKMEN
ORGANIZE
Meeting Held at Markleeville
Sunday---Fine Barbecue
Follows

Following the example set by
stockmen of other localities that use
National Forests for grazing, the
stockmen of this section met at
Markleeville last Sunday and orga-
nized what is to be known as the
Alpine National Forest Stock Associ-
ton. The following officers were
elected:
Fred Dangberg, President; James
Powell, Vice President; Louis Vallem
Secretary and Treasurer.
The advisory board is composed
of the following; Julian Maester-
rena, Virgil Connell, VIM. Dressler,
M. Hansen and M. Fay.
Those who signed the member
ship roll at Sundays meeting are:
VIM. Dressler, M. Fay, ]. Maester-
rena, John Uhalde, VIM. Thorn
burg, Ernest Fay, Mori, j. Powell,
M. Hansen, Eugene Scossa, M. Lar
rel, V. Connell, Fred Dangberg,
Grant Merrill. l.. Lorea, Charles
Scossa.
After the business of the meet
ing had been concluded. the stock
men were made the guests of the
Markleeville citizens at a barbecue
held at an inviting spot on the banks
of the Carson river on the outskirts
of town. Roast chicken, veal and
beef, together with vegetables and
fruit was served in tempting style.
And that was not all; there was
plenty to drink, and in a variety to
suit the thirst of sons of all nations
represented at the barbecue. The
stockmen are loud in their praise
for the hospitality shown them by
the good people of Markleeville.
The idea of the stockmen's associ-
alton is to promote harmony and
closer relationship among those who
range cattle and sheep in the Nation
al Forest. As an organized body
they are better fortified to cope
with problems that may arise from
time to time and with a greater de-
gree of satisfaction to all concerned
than could otherwise be obtained.

DRAINAGE TILE PROVES
GREAT SUCCESS HERE

In no other place in Carson Val
ley is good of drainage tile so
clearly demonstrated as on a tract
of land belonging to George Huss-
man. What was considered a poor
piece of land two years ago is this
year growing one of finest stands of
barley to be found in this Valley
Mr.. Hussman declares that the land
has oeen made productive through
the laying of drainage tile and a
more scientific application of water
during the growing season. AS a
matter of fact, some of the land has
not been irrigated at all, while the
rest of the field has been irrigated
but once.
In all his crop production but half
the water is now used that was
deemed necessary a few years ago
and far better result are being OBJ
tanned.
The Record-courier. [volume] (Gardnerville, Nev.) 1904-current, 1913-07-04

What drainage tile is doing for
Mr.. Hussman is but one practical
illustration of possibly twenty that
may be found in this Valley. In
every instance where drainage tile
has been laid remarkable improve
ment in the land is reported.
Through the use of drainage tile
hundreds of acres of land in this
Valley that are now growing wild
hay, can be converted into product
i've alfalfa fields, thereby adding
to the yearly earnings of each acre
of ground and greatly enchancing
the value of the property.
Many believe that drainage tile
will play an important part in farm
improvement within the next few
years and judging from the ac-
complishments already made along
these lines, their statements are cor
rect.

TO HELP THIS
SECTION
Senator Newlands Urges Gov
ernment to Build Reservoirs
on Carson River

Senator Newland in an address in
Washington referred to the Truckee-
Carson reclamation project, and
made suggestions that more money
be allowed for the development of
the upper water shed and the recla-
nation of the lands in Carson Val
ley. A portion of the fund now ap-
propriated he would have used in
storage at the head of the Valley in
order that immediate settlement of
the lands might take place. In
spelking of the Carson river, its
source and distribution, he says.
The waters of the Carson river are
first appropriated near the Califor-
mia line, in what is known as Carson
Valley. The private irrigation en-
terprises which have been there for
a number of years are among the
most successful in Nevada and the
West. The farmers own tracts in
small areas and they are largely
Germans and Danes or their descend
ants, and form a prosperous COM
munity. But there are about 5000
acres in this valley with little or no
water, but which could be irrigated
if the waters were stored on the Cal
ifornia side.
The waters of the Carson River
now run all the way to the Lahontan
dam, and when the dam is complet-
ed the waters of the Carson and
Truckee rivers will be united and
u sed on the Truckee-Carson project
BY storage of the headwaters OF
Of the Carson, the water could be
used 10 develop these Is 900 acres in
Carson Valley, and NEST Of it would
pass back into the river through
seepage and find its way into the
Lahontan dam and be used again
for the Truckee-Carson enterprise
This development would add great
ly to the wealth of the state.

FIGHTERS ARE
READY FOR GO

The ten round boxing bout be-
tween Jack Smith and George Green
that is to take place at Valhalla
Hall this afternoon has been the
topic of conversation of the local
sports this week and it seems to be
public opinion that the lads are
evenly matched.
Green has been doing his training
at the Minden club house and those
who have watched him work out de-
clare that he is fast fighter and
possesses a powerful punch. He is
in splendid physical condition.
Smith has been training hard for
this scrap and has made good inn
preston with his admirers and 9TH
ers who have watched him while
training. He has some vicious
blows which will surely be hard to
stop.
This scrap is for keeps and those
who have been uncharitable enough
to say that it is frame-up will have
their theories disproved at the ring
side this afternoon, The gate re-
ceipts will be divided 60 and 40.

Good Reports
Come From
LOngfellOW

E. w. Carman was down from
the Longfellow mine this week and
speaks very encouragingly of things
at the mine. Besides the good
headway that has BEEN made in
building ore bins, new roads and
reconstructing the mill building,
the two shifts of miners have taken
the shaft down to the $50 foot level.
The ledge shows up at this depth
and Mr.. Carman is greatly pleased
with this fact.
A carload of machinery arrived at
Minden few days ago for the
Longfellow company and is now be-
ing hauled to the property. A
mong the machinery is. a 40-ton
Lane mill, gas engine and other
equipment.
According to present plans the
mill will be ready for operation a.
bout August 18th.

DAILY COMMENT ON PEOPLE AND THINGS

Military authorities say it would
take an army of 100000 men six
months to subjugate Mexico, and
would cost 100000 aday.
After that it would cost an addi-
tional S15O,000,0O0 each six months
for an army of occupation.
This is only the money cost. There
can be no accurate estimate OF the
loss of life, but that would be heavy
because our army would have to
fight all Mexico.
Yet this is what Hearst wants this
country to do to protect the invest
ments he and other rich Americans
have made in Mexico.
We'd better stand by Wilson and
save both the lives and the money.
Let the Mexicans fight it out them
selves.
OF course, not a single American
who has investments in Mexico would
shoulder gun. ,,.,
They would stay home and tell the
soldiers how to fight.
In the meantime, we might better
get busy and smash that corner IN
the egg market.
indianapolis now has what her
business. men wanted-a business
mans government.
They also have a teamsters' strike
and a special police force with lot
of business men sworn in as special
cops. ,\'s*
The new mayor is tool of the
business interests and has bought 200
extra size nightsticks with which to
break workingmen's heads.
All of which indicates that the
business idea is to beat the workers
into submission with clubs.
Of course, they will reply upon
workingmen or sons of workingmen
to do most of the dangerous police
work, just as they depend upon them
to scab during labor troubles.

If you want to see some Well-fed,
well-groomed, well-housed horses
and other four-legged animals, go to
the live stock exposition out at the
yards.
Those packers sure do take great
care of their four-legged animals.
But, after having visited the live
stock exposition, then go to the home
of some of the human slaves of the
packers.
You will then see how they DON'T
take decent care of their human be-
ings.
But there's a reason. Horses, cat.
tie, sheep and hogs mean so much
money loss when they die.
But when a human being dies
there's always somebody to take his
place. So human life doesn't count.
They say there is always big line
of men waiting at the yards for a

Attempt to Wreck
Holloway Jail Held
Work of Militants
RESULTS IN FAILURE, BUT HUN
DREDS OF NEIGHBORING
HOUSES SHAKEN.

LONDON, Dec. 1S.--An attempt to
wreck part of the outer wall OF Hollo-
way jail with mines or bombs this
evening, 1esulted in failure but hun
dreds of windows in neighboring
houses were shattered. The outrage
was doubtless the work Of militant
suffraget.es, but up to the present
there is no clue as to the identity of
the perpetrators.
About~a o'clock residents Of houses
within u wide radius of the jail were
startled by two tremendous explosions
In quick succession " -fTefe -ae-
conpanied by crashing Of glass In
house windows. Then came chorus
Of shouts, the blowing of police whis-
ties and d rush of people towards the
tall. 1t is impossible. as yet, to say
whether OF not the explosion was in
tended as IA serious attempt to wreck
the wall ~ The jail or mere demon
stration' by the mlI!tants. If it was
the former 1t was poorly and ignor-
antiy conceived. The damage 10 the
wall was insignificant, and the chief
mischief was in the smashing of win
dows
The police found two holes at the
base Of the prison wall about a foot
square and six inches deep. where
the explosives had been ser off. The
wall OF brick is very thick and was
not pierced
II il understood that there is only
one suffragette now in Holloway Jail,
a member Of the arson squad, known
as Rachael Peace" whose real
name IN unknown. The suftragettes.
who believe that this woman Is being
pump fed, are furious, because they
are unable TO learn the facts.

Clarence Mckay
MONEY QUESTION MAIN CONSID-
GRAFTON, HE THINKS--ToO
COSTLY.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1s.---Clarence III.
Mackay. president OF the Mackay
com panies. asked today what he
thought of Postmaster General Burle-
sons report that the government take
over the telephone and telegraph lines,
said:
THE postmaster-ge Is mis-
taken in his idea that telephone COM
pantes are subject to the post roads
acts of congress of 1856.
I'm denominating the telegraph
business as being .inonopnlistic in its
nature ne Is also mistaken. II there
has ever been more continuous, keen
and even bitter competition than that
between the Postal and the Western
Union, / would be pleased to know
when and where.
THE money question, however. liz
the main question; 5000. 0o0,0 900 would
not be a look in. The Bell Telephone
companies alone would demand more
snds of Independent telephone com
panies and farmers lines scattered all
over the country.
THE entire bill, including teleErap phi
lines. would be about $4,000, 600, goo.
which Is about two-thirds OF the ma
tionai debt at the close OF the Civil
war. when many intelligent men de-
SPARED of the solvency of the repub-
lie.
Nor is this the worst. Judging from
English experience that vast sum
would be entirely lost, because under
government management the operat-
ing expenses year by year would ex-
coed the income"
