DO NOT SHAKE THE PLUM TREE
Uutil Senators Newlands And
Pittman Give The High
Sign.

Here is some information for Of
fee hungry Democrats in Nevada
who may make application for some
of the federal jobs now held by Re-
publicans. The statement was re-
ceived from Senator Pittman by tel
egraph, evidently after his attention
had been called to an article by the
Carson correspondent of the Expos
itor, published February 26th, in
which reference was made to gossip
regarding the alleged endorsement
of Fred White of Reno for postmas-
ter at that place by Senator New
lands. The telegram from Senator
Pittman reads as follows:
Washington, d. c., March 5,
ELY Expositor: Senator New
lands and | agreed Immediately af-
ter election that we will neither
form or express any preference for
any candidate for any federal po-
sition. until the period arrived when
the appointment was necessary; and
that we would consider such matters
together before taking action. There
fore. the publication in your paper
with regard to the postmaster at Re-
no was without foundation and in
eonsiderate. | trust that you will
give this the same publicity which
you gave to the article referred to.

refers was written under date of
February cath and was based upon
rumors in circulation at Reno and

WILL IMPROVE THE CEMETERY
Lodges Unite In Plan to Beau
tify Fallon's Burial
Ground.

The Fallon cemetery is to be i'm
proved this season. This is the de-
cision of the several lodges of the
town owning portions of the bury
ing ground. Recently the matter
was brought up officially and action
was taken that will culminate in an
arrangement whit the city whereby
water for irrigation is to be con-
Quoted to the cemetery from the city
reservoir on top of the hill. Jones
& Mccall have public spiritedly
agreed to furnish $500 feet of one
inch pipe to the fraternal organi-
cations at San Francisco prices and
the work of digging the trench and
installing the pipe will soon be un-
der way.
1t is figured that the size of the
pipe mentioned will carry sufficient
water for all purposes, the water
running down at great pressure. The
lodges will agree upon a suitable
person to employ for several months
the chief work being the planting
of trees and ornamental shrubs suit
able in this climate.
This is a step that will be well
coined by all. For a long time the
local cemetery, the county's chief
burial place, has been allowed to
remain undisturbed and as much a
desert in appearance as a barren
stretch can be.

THE SEASONAL SNOWFALL.
Is Minus as Compared to Previous
Year.

A woeful deficiency of preeipita-
ton for four big drainage basins in
the state is noted in the snowfall
bulletins for February. received by
Section Director Cole of the local
weather bureau. In every instance
the snowfall was far below the aver
age of the month before and In most
instances dangerously near the low
mark of past seasons.
In the Truckee basin the average
fall for the month of January of
this year was 5.94 inches averag-
ing the precipitation at eight sta
tions. In February 1t was .94 of an
inch. In the Carson basin the jan
uary average was 4.74 for four sta
tions and February. from three sta

average was 40. In the Walker

OUR MINERAL PRODUCTION
For 1912 Shows Amazing In.
crease. This County at Head
Of List.

The gross value of ore mined in
Nevada in 1912 promises to exceed
S36, 100000 according to the annual
report of Bullion Tax Agent Adam
son. The report shows a healthy
increase in profitable mining opera
tions, and figures for the first three
quarters Indicate that the value of
the ore mined during the entire year
will exceed all records since the days
of the Comstock.
The tonnage and value throughout
the state was increased. The in
crease in tonnage in the first three
quarters of 1912 is more than 500,-
600 over 1911. Gross values for the
same period show an increase of
more than $2,000.000. 1t is expect
ed that the last quarter of 1912 will
exceed the same period of 1911 in
about the same ratio.
Considerable trouble in collecting
the bullion tax is noted in the re-
port. Several typical illustrations
of attempts on the part of mine own
ers to eyade the tax altogether or
to defraud the collector of what was
justly due the state are noted. In
one instance, according to the re-
port, the agent found a stamp mill
in operation where he was not aware
one existed. He found 1t was work
ing at a good profit without the
knowledge of even the county asses
sor, and promptly took up the mat
ter of the collection of the tax.
Figures in the report show that
s222, 2,981.25 was collected from the
entire state for licenses of all sorts.
According to this report Church
i'll county produced during the IL
months ending Oct. 1st, last. ore of
a gross value OF 81, 5,110.22, upon
which the net returns were s44S,-
S63.73, on which was paid a bull
lion tax of $1o,634.33.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Charges Held Up For This Sea-
son. Supreme Court To Hear
Case April 7th.

The operation and maintenance
charges on government reclamation
projects is held in abeyance pend
ing the decision of the United States
supreme court upon the legality of
the charge. At the instance of the
United States attorney-general.
April 7th has been set as a date by
the supreme court for the hearing of
the evidence in the case of the wa
ter users VS.. the government, which
will be before the court on an ap-
peal from the United States circuit
court 70 appeals. Following the
hearing of the facts comprising the
eettlers' and governments case, it
will probably be some time before
decision is rendered by the high
est tribunal of the land. Should the
supreme court sustain the lower
court, it is intimated by the recla-
nation officials that the law now OPP
eratiye will be changed by congress.
while on the other hand If the low
er court is reversed the matter of
paying the maintenance and opera
tion charges will again become ef-
feetive.
Washington, d. c., Feb. 26, 1913.
Statement and Order regarding
Charges on account cf Operation and
Maintenance.
The duty of the Secretary of
the Interior under the Reclamation
Law to require payment of the por-
tion of the instalment for operation
and maintenance as covered By the
several public notices on the Recla-
nation Projects has been called in
to question. In two cases Gnited
States District Courts nave he'd that
the Secretary had authority to re-
quire such payments. On appeal to
the Circuit Court of Appeals for the
9th Circuit in the case of Baker VS..
Swigart (199Fed., 1861, the Court
held that the Reclamation Act did
not authorize the collection of such
payments.
2. An appeal from said decision
was filed in the Supreme Court of
the United States and, on motion
made by the Attorney-General, the
case is now set for hearing on April
Z, 1918.
8. The law officers of the gov
ernment and of this department do
not acquiesce in the decision of this
case, but in order to avoid litigation
and in view of the complications
which will arise in case the govern
ment refuses to furnish water pend
ing consideration of the case by the
Supreme Court, the following order
is hereby promulgated.

4. The engineers of the Recla-
nation Service are hereby authoriz-

by public notices and orders hereto

the Supreme Court of the United
States upon the condition that the
water user shall promptly pay all
portions of the installments for op-
Grafton and maintenance which
should have been paid under such
public notices and orders before the
furnishing of the water, unless the
Supreme Court in the case now
pending renders such judgment as
to prevent the Secretary of the In

KEY PITTMAN.

Fallons appropriation secured
through the remarkably efficient
work OF our Democrats senators is
100000 The passage of the bill
providing this sum for a local fed
eral building met with stubborn op-
position in the senate, as indicated
by the above telegram. This oppo-
sition came from an eastern eonting-
emit headed by Senators Kern, of In
diana, and o'Gorman, of New York.
but their amendment. providing that
no town enjoying a postal business
of less than $4,000 annually should
profit from the appropriation meas
ure, was lost, chiefly through the ef-
forts of Nevada's senators aided by
Senator Warren, of Wyoming.
In due course OF time, the local
building project will be actively
taken up by the proper government
officials. 4 lot will be sought con-
forming in its boundaries to the bill
providing the appropriation and the
usual scramble by property owners
to dispose of holdings will occur.
But IN order TO expedite the build
ing's construction conflicting inter
ests should agree finally upon a
proper site and unite in a recon-
mendation to the government. In
times past real estate controyer-
sizes have been instrumental In hold
Ing up the construction of federal
buildings for years and we trust that
the Fallon undertaking will not be
marred by such a course.

signed public buildings appropria-

building at Fallon. The bitter fight
made on the bill was on account of
provisions for small post Office build
ings, such as the two that we obtain

bill was only obtained in the SEN
ate at 4 o'clock on the morning of
the 4th. While we are opposed to
the method adopted for making up

maintaining the exorbitant appropri-
ations for the east.
