BELIEVES EXTRA SESSION OF
LEGISLATURES is NECESSARY

In commenting upon the situation
presented by the appointment of
Congressman Henry d. Clayton to
fill the unexpired term of Senator
Johnson of Alabama who died re-
Gently, Judge w. A. Massey, former
United States Senator from Nevada,
sides with the lawyers of the senate
who say Governor O'Neils position
is wrong, says the Reno Journal.
incidentally Judge Massey said
there is nothing on the statutes of
Nevada now for the direct election
of United States senator nor has
the governor now the power to make
the appointment nor call a special
election.
when the constitutional amend
ment went into effect, it suspended
all other laws providing for the ap-
pointment or election of United
States senators. 1t provides a new
method to be followed from the time
the amendment went into operation.
No method not in conformity with
the plain direction of the fundament-
al law will be permitted.
Alabama has no law on the sub
ject The constitution requires an
election to be had. 1t permits the
governor to appoint only when there
is delegation of that power by the
legislature and the legislature has
not acted"
Asked about the situation in Ne
vada, Judge Massey said the consti-
tuition of the United States is the
paramount power and new laws must
be passed providing for the direct
election of United States Senators.
Unless there are laws passed di-
recting the holding of elections for
the direct election of United States
senator, there can be no election, -
odio ouu6e mdSSty L nt ltSlSldIuTe
may also give the governor power
to make temporary appointments,
but unless such law be passed the
governor will have no such power of
appointment"
Judge Massey says he thinks a
special session of the legislature of
Nevada is absolutely necessary If
there is to be an election in 1914.
He said he believes the time should
be after the first of the year, prob
ably in January or February when
the people can be spared from work.
AS to the power of the governor
to issue writs of election, Judge Mas
sey said law would be needed to
direct that and also law to govern
the manner of the election.

A LARGE REAL ESTATE DEAL
S. C. Sparks, of Santa Clara,
CAL, Buys Big Island Ranch
Acreage.

The second largest land deal in
yolving Island ranch realty consum-
mated since the 1000 acre tract
was placed on the market few years
ago, was closed Monday when Hon.
r. l.. Douglass sold to S. G. Sparks,
of Santa Clara, Cal, $50 acres of
land in hay crops. OF the tract 320
acres are in natural hay, while 160
acres are given over to alfalfa. Mr..
Douglass received $50 an acre for the
natural meadow and 500 per acre
for the land in alfalfa, every acre
carrying a recognized vested water
right, the total consideration being
SAL, 500.
The land lies south of the J. w.
Sitton tract and faces east on the
county road. 1t has excellent drain
age and is ideally prepared for any
kind of farming. Mr.. Sparks, who
is brother of ]. C. Sparks, of the
Island district, will take possession
within two weeks and will have a
fine set of buildings erected. His
plans look to the establishing of a
model dairy farm on the tract and
he will move his family from Santa
Clara about January 1Gt He is elat-
ed over his purchase, as well he
might be, for he is now owner of
one of the finest land holdings with
in this project.

A Valuable Tree.

What is probably the most yalu-
able tree in the world is an alliga-
tor-pear tree at Whittier, Cal, which
netted it's owner a profit of $S.206 in
one year. Thi tree was planted
in 1905 and began bearing in its
fourth year. In 1912 it bore 5000
pears which sold for $500 while
the sale of buds during the same
year amounted to $1,706 making the
total given above. The tree is a
Seeding, the seed having been plant
ed with a quantity of other seed
which had been imported, presum-
ably from Mexico. Another tree
which was planted at the same time
and which stands close to the phe-
nomenal bearer, has never borne
more than so pears in one season.
Pictures of the tree and some of the
fruit appear in the September Popu-
lar Mechanics Magazine.

RETURN FROM EUROPEAN TRIP
State Senator Thos. Dolf And
Family Home From Visit
Abroad.

State Senator and Mrs. Thomas
Dolf and daughter Margaret return
ed home last Wednesday from an
absence abroad of nearly three
months, during which time they Wis
tied most points of interest in west
ern continental Europe. Back in
Switzerland at the old boyhood home
of Mr.. Dolf, our state senator was
privileged to contrast in his mind
the conditions which prevail there
and those under which he so whole
somely assumed his new citizenship,
with the result that he is doubly
proud of the land of his adoption,
and fully appreciative of the more
admirable conditions under which
American endeavor is conducted.
The thirty years intervening between
his departure and the visit brought
whose inhabitants have had their
wits whetted in only one respect,
namely, how to annex the tourists
good money.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dolf rubbed elbows
with the nabobs from all parts of
the civilized world, finding snobbery
and common sense mingling in un-
due proportions They learned that
the self-made Americans are passe
with the European upper crust, the
latter still clinging to cast as prime
essential for social recognition,
which happily is in marked contrast
to American views, that honor in
dustry and probity, the foundation of
many moderate fortunes in this
country, where ideal conditions make
possible quickly acquired eompeten-
cies.

Outlook for Sugar Factory Good.
Fred Hinze returned to Fallon
and will remain here several months,
if his present plans carry. The mem

San Mateo county, Cal, and are well
pleased with their surroundings. Mr..
Hinze is one of the heaviest holders
Of stock in the local sugar factory
and prophesies success for thc G.
terprise. II was he who Grst Cou-
ceived the plan of building the fac
tory and It was he that gave guild
ance and the necessary sinews when
the factory was subsequently built.
It required heroic measures some
times but difficulties were always
met and in the same spirit Mr.. Hinze
forecasts that the tariff, local disad-
vantages and other accruing troubles
will be overridden by the Fallon fac
tory. for he reasons II has strategic
position which will withstand every
thing and that in the ultimate Fallon

great sugar producing centers of the
country. 1t will, he says, supply its

world.

School Year May be Shortened.

That the school year may be short
ened if the new free school book law
is literally enforced, is the statement
of superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton ]. E. Bray in a circular sent out
to the various school districts and Of
ficers of the state. Superintendent
Bray suggests that if parents and
teachers to cooperate so that books
now in use may be used during the
term and no demand be made for
new ones except in exceptional cases
it may be that the school year will
not be shortened.
The circular sent out states that
the new law is mandatory and re-
quires shcool districts to furnish all
text books free to school children.
There is no provision made, however
for providing the money to pay far
the books. If the money be taken out
of the general fund il will mean
that there will not be enough to con-
tinue the schools for the entire year.
At present nearly all school chill
dren are provided with school books
purchased by parents before the new
law was passed. These books run in
series so that in many cases FAM
i'y has books enough to provide the
children with the required text books
Copy books, drawing books and such
supplies, however, are used up each
year and will necessarily be purchas-
ed anew

V. Fulkerson was in town Monday
from his homestead in the Swingle
district. He brings encouraging
word of his neighborhood progress
and said his new seeding had passed
through the summer in vigorous
fashion C. G. Swingle pointed the
way to agricultural possibilities on
the bench that now bears his name,
by reason of the fact that he is dean
of the agriculturists up that way,
and now it seems as though the dis
trict is destined to support consid-
erable population in years to come.
From Lahontan north lies a large
body of land admirably adapted to
all forms of agriculture suited to the
climate, which in the aggregate is
probably larger than the entire Fern
ley district Reasoning upon what
has occurred in other sections ii
would seem that the district will
some of these days support large
settlement and that trading point
will be established on the railroad,
which traverses the land from north
to south.
With a promised reopening of
land soon to occur it would seem
that among the project lands that
will be taken with avidity by pros
pective homebuilders none hold
greater promise than the Swingle
district.
