RECLAMATION REVIEW

The Reclamation Service Com.

recently made ito report, and
agreeable results are shown. At
the time Senator NewIands propos.
ed this modern legislation many
were sceptical over the ultimate
outcome. This was especially
true in Nevada, as it had been
advertised as land Of waste and
saEcbrush. Newlands insisted
that Nevada be given the first
project. The Carson-Truckee pro.
ject was authorized and as the
statements are poubIished they are
pleasing, "a Jay the least.
1t is shown that many thousands
acres that were foreign to life
giving water, are now cleared and
reclaimed. Homes have sprung
into life where the sand dunes
shifted. factories are going, a town
has grown to gcudly proportions

MUTTON BIRDS IN MILLIONS.

Yearly. at the coming of spring,
the thousand coastal islands of
New Zealand. moro especially
those lying towards the south
become the temporary homes Of
myriads nf mutton birds. which
paw visit for the nesting season.
Out of the silence of the great
southern Orean come the birds in
vast armies. Low flying over the
water, FIR the most pant close in
shore, the huge flocks draw dark
parallels of shadow across the
seaScspe. rhe birds hy in separ-
ate bands, disciplined and massed
in serried whOle-a continuous
stream that passes between sea
and sky. Each army shows
front of perhaps quarter of a
mule, the huge length stretching
away league after league irto in
terminable distance.
Stand on the brow of some
coastal headland and watch the
passage of one of these bird armies.
1t is n wonderful sight. Far
belo" une looks down on a heaving
floor of close packed, undulating
backs. lit 10y myriad scintilla
tions of white tipped wings. So
close is the floor, so serried the
ranks Of the fliers. that the
beneath is hidden as with a carpet.
Hour after hour the passage of
the army continues, from dawn till
dark and far into the night. Ia
the night then noise of countless
beating wings that surges UP over
the cliff head tells that the my is
still on the move till the whir of
wings and cry Of the rear guard
beating up the s;raggIcrs grow
faint in the distance and one

WOMAN CHARGED
WITH WHITE SLAVERY

Edith Little, bound for Ely, did
not reach here, because Salt Lake
City federal authorities who have
been on her trail for the past six
weeks, beat her To it, and arrested
Edith as she stepped from an
Oregon Short Line train at Ogden.
She Is wanted for" white slavery
and is n the county Jail at Salt
Lake City in default of $4,000 bail.
As the story goes the young
woman Indicted November q
j inrly witi%C. C. George, alias
CIarence Franklin. who was recent
ly arrested in Colorado. and placed
in the local Jail in defaut of
$4,000 Jail.
The specific charge against the
two is THAI of enticing Gladys
Hartman, q young woman living
in Salt Lake. to leave the city and
come to Ely on the 24th day of
April 1912. 1t is further charged
that the respondents also paid the
Hartman wuman's fare from Salt
Lake here.
According to the authorities in
the Lake City, the search for Edith
Little has extended as far as Leth-
bridge, Alberta. which point she
recently left for Ely, via Salt Lake.
The Lethbridge authorities notified
Marshal Anderson of Salt Lake,
and a bench warrant for Edith's
arrest was issued by Judge John A.
Marshal. Her presence in Leth-
bridge has been known to the
officials in the states, but it was
not desired to cause her arrest
there. because such action would
have necessitated extraditinn pro-
ceedings.-White Pine News.
