Full Pardon for williams.

Yesterday the board of pardons, ia
special session at Carson City, granted
full pardon to Franklin Williams,
convicted last April of having permit
ted gambling in his place of business
and sentenced to an indeterlninate
term of from one to five years in the
penitentiary. Attorney Salter, of the
law firm of Salter & Robins, appeared
before the board in behalf of Williams.
Williams was indicted by the grand
jury in February of last year, and az
his first trial the jury disagreed, be-
ing about evenly divided. At the sec
ond trial, held about the first of
April last year, he was convicted on
the unsupported evidence of accom-
pliees and sentenced as above stated.
His attorneys appealed the case to the
Supreme Court, and in decision
handed down the last of December
new trial was denied. Immediate
steps were then taken to secure par
don, and a petition was presented TO
the board which was signed by the
Judge, district attorney, sheriff, mem
bers of the jury and many leading eiti-
zens.
Although sentenced to the peniten-
tiary, Williams never reached that
institution. After sentence the sheriff
got him as far as Reno, when he was
intecepted by stay of execution from
the Supreme Court. Since that time
he has been confined in the county Jail.

COST OF NEVADA WATER
COMPARED TO CALIFORNIA

In the work of. inducing settlers to
come to Nevada to establish homes
and farms, business reasons must be
placed above sentiment. Farmers are
ruled by business reasons and if it
can be shown that the profit in farm
ing is greater in Nevada than in any
of the nearby states to which the
western immigration tends, the flow
viii turn to this state, says the Reno
journal.
The cost of water in Placer county,
California, is $45 per inch In Neva
da it is So per inch with all other ele-
ments taken as equal it is seven and a
half times more economical to farm in
Nevada than to farm in that part of
California.
One inch of water in Nevada will
irrigate four to five acres of alfalfa,
raising two crops a year or total of
from five to eight tons.
Eight tons of alfalfa can be grown
in Nevada at cost of $120 for water
or 15 cents a ton for alfalfa, for wa
ter alone. In California on the same
basis it would cost $1.13 to raise a
ton of alfalfa.
This is merely a comparison of Ne
vada with one spot in California where
the cost of water is $45 an inch.
There are many places in California
where the cost of water mounts many
times that sum. In southern Califor-
MIA it reaches as high as $1,000 an
inch.
In Nevada it may appear strange
but it is true, that there is more wa
ter wasted in irrigation than would
water three times the area. 1t can be
conserved. 1t is not case of the de-
mand being greater than the supply.
The country is new, agriculturally
speaking, and the opportunity is the
opportunity that comes only in any
country to the pioneers.

VALUABLE CONTRIBUTIONS
BY GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

One of the largest contributions
made by the United States Geological
Survey has been the store of scientific
and practical truths accumulated and
presented in its monographs publica-
tions descriptive of our great mining
districts. The detailed investigation
OF these more productive localities is
being continued; but the present pol
icy of the survey is to devote more
attention than formerly to work of
other classes, such as the prompt re-
connaissance examination of new dis
triets with the purpose of making
available a general knowledge of the
local geology in aid of the prospect
ors at the early stage of their work,
and the preparation of reports dealing
comprehensively with the geology and
ore deposits of different states, such
as Professional Paper 68, sore De-
posits of New Mexico,' by Lindgren,
Grafton and Gordon, issued in 1910.
The survey now has in active prepara-
tion summary reports on the geology
and ore deposits of Utah and of Idaho,
and similar report on Arizona is
planned, but its completion must
await some additional reconnaissance
surveys in that state.-Mining Science.

CHILDREN Will
TALK FOR CHILDREN

The announcement of the National
Child Labor committees annual con-
ference, to be held at Jacksonville,
Florida, March 1916, shows as an en-
tirely new feature of such a confer
ence meeting for children. The Ma
tional Child Labor committee has pre-
pared stories of child labor in the
glass, cotton and coal industries.
which will be told by children, while
stereopticon slides are shown. In the
eight annual conferences heretofore,
there has been no attempt to interest
children who play in the conditions of
children who work, but the committee
says IT is coming to realize the need of
including in its campaign of educa-
ton, the little citizens who will make
the child labor laws of the future.
This is also the first time that the
National Child Labor committee has
taken Child Labor and Poverty as the
general topic of its conference.
The first session will open with q
discussion of child labor and charit-
able relief, conducted by Sherman C.
Kingsley, of Chicago. Other sessions
will be devoted to the more fundamen
tai problems of wages, unemployment
and health. Jerome Jones, of Atlanta,
Rabbi David Marx, of Atlanta, DR..
Oates, Chief Inspector of Factories in
Alabama, Mrs. E. L. Bailey, of Jack
son, Mississippi, and Miss Julia C.
Lathrop, of the Federal Children 3
Bureau will be among the speakers.
The governors of fourteen states
have appointed delegates to attend the
conference.
Of the states which will be thus rep
resented, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Mich
lgan, Arizona and Illinois have al
ready enacted parts of the uniform
child labor law, and in Arkansas and
Texas bills based on the uniform child
labor law are now pending.

SPOKANE TO HAVE
SUMNER FESTIVAL
(special to the silver state.l }


SPOKANE, Wash, March 6-An
important link in the chain of Pacific
northwest festivals will be added this
summer in Spokane, when residents of
the surrounding country will unite in
giving a carnival on a scale equal to
that of the Portland Rose Festival,
Seattle Potlatch and Pendleton Round
up.
One of the principal features an
nounced by a committee of 80 business
men will be an athletic tournament,
patterned after the Olympic games,
in which athletes in all parts of
North America will be eligible to COM
will bark back to western pioneer
days, too, with tournament of volun-
teer fire departments, of which there
are scores in the towns of the Spo-
kane country.
Though no name has been selected
yet, the event will be known as play
time in the Inland Empire of the Pa
cifc northwest. In order that the tens
of thousands of farmers may partiei-
pate, the week beginning June is has
been selected, following the spring
planting and preceding harvest.
Business men of Spokane already
have contributed $4,000 to fund for
this years carnival, and twice that
sum will be raised during the next go
days. Charles Hebberd, president of
the Chamber of Commerce, states that
the carnival will be one of series of
Pacific northwest events that serve to
effect closer cooperation between
communities, adding:
"We want to make this section the
summer playground of America, just
as the south is the winter playground.
With our carnivals we can accomplish
at least two things-frst, we can
make the visits of persons from the
east more enjoyable; and second, we
can unite the people of our own coun-
try in close bond of unity

BATTLEsIP OREGON A
NATIONAL MONUMENT

The man who would "scrap' the
old battleship Oregon would "scrapo
the Constitution, the Republic, any
thing which is held sacred. Had his
cold materialism prevailed at the time
of the Revolution, there would have
been no Constitution, no Republic
From his standpoint, the Oregon has
outlived her usefulness, for she can no
longer fight; but from the standpoint
Of the patriot she will be useful as
long as history records her glorious
career. BY recalling those events, her
part in which made her history an es-
sentiaI part of the country's history,
she will always be a silent lesson in
patriotism to all who see her or read
of her.
Our British cousins do not grudge
the cost of preserving Nelson's old
flagship Victory as national monu-
ment, than which none could be more
glorious or more highly priced. No
man in the British isles dare suggest
that the Victory be scrapped; - to
20 so would be to condemn himself to
Ii eltag obloquy. Shall we fall below
the Britons in reverence for the ships
whose deeds have shed renown on our
nation?
Millions have been spent on mu-
seums where are collected relics show
ing the development of the human
race frcm the stone age to the steel
age--indeed the development of the
whole animal kingdom. We treasure
every scrap of written or printed rec
ord of the deeds of the Revolutionary
fathers. of the making and adoption
of the constitution, of the war for the
preservation of the Union. We should
equally treasure relics which in them
selves tell best the story of the de-
velopment of the American navy and
of its never-to-h o-he-forgotten deeds.
Such relics serve to inspire in cur eiti-
zens that patriotism. that desire to
emulate heroic acts, without which the
nation would be but fortuitous con
course of human atoms. Money spent
on the preservation of the Oregon, as
of the old Constitution, would be
money well spent, and we should not
gruege one dollar of it.
Let the Oregon round out her career
in the active navy by leading the
parade of ships which is to sgnalize
tie opening of the Panama canal
that great national enterprise on
which our minds were set by her
memorable voyage around the south
ern continent of America. Then let
her be retired to one of the navy
yards to be preserved as monument
to the great achievements of our navy
and of the men who navigated and
fought her. Put to such uses, she will
never outlive her usefulness-Po
