NOVEL EXHIBIT By FOREST
SERvI(E AT TULSA, OKLA.

A miniature model of a Rocky
Mountain National forest will be ex-
hipited by the forest service at the
Eighth International Dry Farming
congress at Tulsa, Oklahoma, October
ures five by six feet, and is on scale
to show an area of about four square
miles,
The model contains ranger station,
a government tree nursery, trails,
roads and bridges built by the govern
ment for greater facility in travel,
and particularly for the purpose of
making every part of the forest aeces-
sible to fire fighters and fire. fighting
equipment. 1t has fire lookout towers;
telephone lines, which enable the for
est officials to give quick news of
fires and to facilitate the transaction
of other forest business; and fire
lines along the mountain crests kept
clear of inflammable material, so that
fire may not easily pass from one part
of the forest to another. Certain
areas show homesteads developed un-
der dry farming and under irrigation,
and one shows a tract which is being
logged under government regulation
The model is designed primarily to
show the ways in which the national
forests are useful to farms within or
near their boundaries.
1t indicates that the farmer on the
irrigated land has been able to secure
his small patch of land within a ma
tional forest because his strip was
better suited to agriculture than to
forest growth. He obtains all the
wood he needs for his domestic use
free and can purchase additional wood
at reasonable price from the govern
ment. He grazes his milch cows on
the forest range without cost. ans

farm.
Grazing cattle are shown ON the
model at about the size of grain of
rice, and sheep In proportion.
On the area devoted to dry farming.
it is shown that tree growth protects
the land from drying winds.
A typical power stream, from which
water is also taAen for irrigation, is
shown running through the forest.
Running water is used in the model
and adds to the picturesqueness of
the exhibit.

TEN PER CENT LIFT
FOR HUMBOLDT

Assessor Leonard returned Sunday
evening from Carson City, where he
went to submit the Humboldt county
tax roll to the Nevada Tax Commits
sion. He reports that this county was
given a horizontal raise of ten per
cent. This was less than expected, as
at the meeting held here with tax
payers by the commission during the
first week of the month it was tenta-
lively agreed that the raise would be
12k per cent. Other counties to be
given horizontal raises were Elko, 10
per cent; Douglas, Is per cent; White
Pine, 10 per cent. -
At the meeting held here il was
stated by Chairman Shaughnessy that
it would be necessary for the Commits
sion to add an assessed valuation of
approximately $l4,00O,0O0 to the roll.
As the raises mentioned above will
not aggregate to exceed $6,000,000, the
Commission still has considerable
work on hand. Although the tax rolls
must be in the hands of the county
treasurers for collection a week from
next Monday, the Commission still
has more than $50 witnesses to hear.

ARGUE AND SUB
NIT WATER CASE

The case of Johannes Anderson, ct
al, VS.. w. NJ. Kearney, State Engi-
neer, was called in the District Court
yesterday morning. Plaintiffs were
represented by A. E. Cheney and P. A.
Hawkins, of the Reno law firm of Che
ney, Downer, Price & Hawkins, and de-
fendant by Attorney General Thatch-
er. Arrangements were completed at
noon today, when the ease was sub
mitted.
This suit was brought to test the
constitutionaliv of law passed by
the last legislature, comforting judicial
powers OH an executive officer, namely,
the State Engineer. Early in the
spring the State Engineer called upon
the plaintiffs to submit proofs of their
existing water rights, which they did,
and also attended the hearings held at
Lovelock during the months of March
and April. They then made applica-
tion for an injunction to restrain the
State Engineer from submitting a de-
cision. 1t is certain that, no matter
what the decision by Judge Dueker,
that the case will be appealed to the
Supreme court.
State Engineer Kearney left on
Southern Pacific No. 8 this afternoon
for Elko, where he will be engaged in
adjudicating water rights for the bal
ance of the month.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY VtGf-
TABLES ATTRACT ATTENTION

Fine specimens of garden products
raised in Humboldt county were
brought into Reno last night by John
A. gill, travelling agent of the South
ern Pacific company, They were
grown on the farm of b. Klueny,
four miles east OF Winnemucca, and
include l3-pound beets, 2l-pound cab
bages and fine assortment of onions
and potatoes.
The vegetables were exhibited at
the Riverside hotel as proof of the
agricultural resources of Nevada
Journal.
The vegetables referred to above
were raised by B. Klucny, on his
ranch, south of town. For several
years Mr.. Klucny has grown the finest
potatoes and cabbages to be found
anywhere in the country, and through
his persistent attempts to attract the
attention of the outside to their merit,
is beginning to succeed.
In this connection, it is suggested
that the Southern Pacific install a sec
ond water stand at the station. and
that the two be placed in such a posi-
tion that when locomotives are taking
water the passenger coaches will be
left standing in front of the depot.
BY this means travellers will be en-
abled to inspect a display of fruits
and vegetables that Mr.. hlucny and
other local growers have offered to
place in the station window This
would no doubt be of more practical
benefit than all the advertising being
done at present.

KILLING NEAR VIR-
GIN station TODAY

At an early hour this morning Sabe
Choate was shot and instantly killed
by Lester Howard, at the latter's
place, some four or five miles from
Virgin station. After the shooting
Howard went over to the station and
had Mrs. Bramlett telephone for the
sheriff.
Mrs. Howard, mother Of Lester,
and a man named Wallace were the
only witnesses to the shooting. II is
claimed that Choate was the aggres-
sor and that the killing was done in
self defense. 1t seems that Choate,
some time ago, rented the Howard
place, and erected several buildings,
which it is claimed were to revert to
the Howards when the place was Civ
en- up. II is said that Choate aban-
uOhcu tho piaco tHdb lt was
dumped" by a man named Curley.
Yesterday Lester Howard started to
move the house away, and hearing of
Choate went over this morning and or
dered him to leave it alone. 1t is
claimed by the witnesses that Choate
threatened to shoot Howard, when the
latter fred one shot, with fatal effect.
From all accounts there had been
bad blood between Choate and the
Howards for some time. It will be re-
membered that upon the trials here
last year of Bode Howard, brother of
Lester, for eottle stealing, Choate was
one of the principal witnesses for the
State.
At about 1890 o'clock this morning
Howard telephoned In 70 salter &
Robins, and it is presumed that he en-
gagged the services of the firm for his
defense.

HELENA ASSAY OFFICE
TO sfOP BUYING GOLD

The director of the mint has issued
orders to the United States assay Office
at Helena, directing that Office to dis
continue the purchase of gold as a re-
suit of congress failing to provide an
appropriation for the movement of
bullion. The office will receive ship
ments from mining men as hereto
fore if they care to send them, but
will be held at the assay office.
Subtreasuries at San Francisco and
New York are similarly affected They
will not be able to move bullion, and
unless some way is found to relieve
the situation, say Federal officials,
eventually there will be a big money
shortage.
The order affects directly operators
in Montana. Utah and Idaho who
heretofore have received top prices for
their metal, but who now, if they want
ready money, will be forced to dis
pose of their gold elsewhere.

SURVEY COMPLETE
TO SNAKE RIVER

The Winnemucca Northern railroad
survey Is completed from Winnemuc-
ca to Snake river. President Bush, of
the Missouri Pacific, which now con
trolls the Rio Grande and the Western
Pacific, will leave Winnemucea Mon
day, October 20, by automobile to go
over as far as possible, the route of
the survey. He will be accompanied
by his chief engineer, by Col. Place.
the general manager of the Winnemuc-
ca Northern, and their chauffeur. The
above information was gwen to the
Record Wednesday by H. II. sheldon.
chief engineer of the Winnemucca
Northern, who completed the survey
and location of the line as far as
Snake river the first OF the week.
The distance from Winnemueca to
the Snake river crossing, which is at
point hal. mile above Homedale.
is about 260 miles. The distance from
Jordan Valley to the crossing is about
53 miles. In the entire distance, no
where, Mr.. Sheldon said, does the
crossing of the river is farther down
than Nampa people had hoped for,
Mr.. Sheldon did not think this city
was eliminated by any means. One
of the Boise directors of the company
was quite certain that Nampa would
be on the line.
When Mr.. Sheldon was asked why
the road did not come down Suecor
creek canyon to the mouth of the can
yon, then straight across to the river,
he said there were two reasons, the
most important was that a much bet
ter grade and cheaper route was found
TO the west of the canyon, and another
was, that the SLort Line already had
a survey through the CANYON. Mr..
sheldon s instructions were to find
the best and most feasible route be-
tween Winnemucea and Snake river.
with Boise as the terminal point. He
is confident that he has succeeded in
doing so.
When the Record reporter asked
Mr.. sheldon what he would do next,
he said that he and Mrs. Sheldon are
stopping at the Saratoga hotel in
Caldwell, and he would remain there
waiting the arrival of Col Place.
While Mr.. sheldon did not care to
discuss company matters, he appear
ed to have no doubt about the build
ing of the road without delay. He
drove to Nampa in his automobile and
was accompanied by Mrs. Sheldon and
two of his engineers. He appeared
to be making use of his spare time in
getting acquainted with the topo-
graphy and development of the eoun-
try between the river and Nampa. AS
stated before by the Record, Presi-
dent Bush will probably decide the
question of route, between the Snake
river and Boise; and the many advan-
tages that Nampa has to offer will
almost to certainty result in the To-
cation of the line through this city,
Is the belief of men in Boise, who are
closely identified with the building
of the road.-Nampa Record.

OPENS UP NLvfRIfAD
PROPERTY NEAR GERLA(h

John Harnan, president of the
Tohoqua Mining company, whose sill
ver-lead properties are located at
Leadville, has been at the Hotel La
fayette for the past few days. Mr..
Harnan was one of the original own
ers of the famous Portland mine at
Victor, Colorado, in the Cripple Creek
district, with Messrs. Burns and
Doyle. Disposing of his interests
some eight or ten years ago, he came
to Nevada and secured his present
property, which he has worked for the
past seven years.
The property is situated 40 miles
from Gerlach, and has been opened up
by tunnels and shafts. There are
about 1920 feet of tunnels, and the
main shaft is down for 600 feet, with
drifts running from every 100-foot
level. A 50-ton mill on the property
concentrates eight tons of ore in one.
Eleven months ago California par
ties leased a block of the ground and
built 75-ton mill. They have driven
tunnel for 1900 feet and are now
in good ore.
At present the concentrates are
hauled to Gerlach, .-stanee of 40
miles, where all supplies are obtained:
In the spring. however, Mr.. Harnan
intends to use Trego for his railroad
point, it being some Is miles nearer
the mine. For this purpose a few
miles of wagon road will lie construct
ed during the coming winter.
