PAYING MUCH FOR DOUNTIES
Scalys of Noxious Animals Make
Heavy Drain On Tax
payers.

A good deal of complaint is COM
ine from various quarters over the
state against the paying of bounties
for scalps of noxious animals and
it now seems likely that a determin-
ed effort will be made at this session
of the legislature to have the law re-
pealed. In some counties the an
nual expense incident has reached
the sum of $4,000. Churchill
county has been more fortunate than
other of the counties, though here
the plan has oftentimes approached
the characterization of an abuse.
During the year 1912 Ills county
paid the sum of s176950 for scalps
of wildcats at So. coyotes at 81 and
badgers at so cents each, coyote hir-
suite adornments making by far the
greatest drain upon the treasury.
Ii is pointed out that furs of the
noxious animals command an ever
increasing figure and that the mat
ter of maintaining bounties is not
necessary in order to insure their
rapid determination.

POST OFFICE AWARD MADE
Will Remain at Present Loca-
ton Permanently. Office to
be Improved.

Fallon's post Office will remain in
its present location This in effect
is the text of adyiees received by
Postmaster A. j. Johnson Saturday
from the department in Washington.
At the same time it is given out that
the acceptance of W. w. Williams
bid for the post Office quarters has
been accepted upon a contingency
that the room interior be made mod
ern in every respeet-in short the
acme of convenience.
Postmaster Johnson informs US
that within another 30 days the post
Office will be separate from private
business, screening run to the ceiling
and both day and night srvice main
tanned. BY night service it is meant
that patrons having lock boxes will
have access to them at any time day
or night and seven days a week.
This action by the department has
been forecasted for some time and is
milne with grape vine information
that has been available for weeks.
II will suit large majority of the
people of the community.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL.

In Elko county by the end of next
month the cost of paying coyote and
lion calp bounties will amount to
$4,000 for the year. This leads
the Free Press to declare that Ne
yada counties are paying bounties on
coyotes killed in Idaho and it does
not see why the bounties should be
paid on fur-bearing animals whose
pelts are worth from 50 to 81.
One of the local general merehan-
disc stores was the scene of battle

fellow something real, which again
forces the conclusion that youth will

A SUBSTAh TIAL ACREAGE
Nevada Sugar Company Assur-
ed of 1000 Acres of Beets
In This Valley.

The Nevada Sugar Company con-
tinues to reach out for beet acreage
and the returns are altogether en-
couraging. In addition to the 400
acres around Fallon approximately
200 acres additional were signed up
last week, as a result of hitting up
on the plan of extending extra in
dueements to the farmers living in
the rich Saltwater district. where
great interest is being manifested in
factory affairs. The company has
agreed to pay the beet raisers living
in the Saltwater section S. per ton
for their product delivered by the
roadside at a point near the old
county seat town, still to be desig-
mated by the factory. The getting
together of the factory management
and the Saltwater farmers will
doubtless prove mutually profitable.
In the meantime the factory peo-
pie are reaching out up the valley
for further acreage and il is believed
that a substantial amount can be
signed up from among the farmers
residing betweeen FIT. Churchill and
Dayton, who own ranches of extra
ordinary richness of soil. but owing
to market conditions are wholly dis
satisfied with potato growing.
There is little doubt that the cam
paign this fall will handle beets
several times in excess of what were
handled in both previous seasons
with the result that this and other
communities will be materially bene-
fted. The get together idea IS one
necessary IL our prosper
ity is TO continue. The turn affairs
have taken so far as markets for
Nevada products are concerned, has
begun to impress upon home people
the great necessity of creating their
own avenues for the marketing of
their soil products and in this con-
nection, the local factory IS sure to
prove indispensable. Home markets
and cooperation by strict organiza-
tion are quite necessary If the states
farmers are to lift themselves from
a rut that has come TO be generally

THE WEATHER.

WASHINGTON, jan 26.-Pres--
sure over the northern hemisphere
today, according to the weekly
weather bureau bulletin, indicates
that following the eastward move
ment of a depression now over the
upper lake region and Ontario, there
will be a considerable fall in tenn
perature north of the Ohio river and
in the lower Missouri and upper Mis-
sissippi valleys, but no unusually
low temperatures are expected.
A disturbance will appear over the
north Pacific coast and British Co
lumbia early in the week attended
by rains and SHOWS.
1t will move eastward and south
eastward, reaching the northern
plains states Tuesday or Wednesday
and the eastern districts by Thurs
day, and will be followed by rising
pressure and lower temperatures
that will reach the northeastern por-
ton of the country by the end of the
week, by which another disturbance
should appear in the far northwest.
Over the interior central and
southern districts west of the Rocky
mountains, fair weather will prevail
the greater portion of the week.

FEDERAL LAW To ENCOURAGE
Aims At Promoting Intensive
Farming and Rendering Aid
For Idea.

Every farmer in the country has
a direct personal interest in the
piece of legislation known as the
Lever bill, framed by Representative
Ashbury F. Lever of South Carolina,
which was passed by the last session
of the house OF representatives and
is now before the senate.
The purpose of the measure is to
combine a government appropriation
with an equal appropriation from
each state which will grant 1t for the
purpose of paying agricultural dem
onstrators who will go to the diff
ferent farms in their allotted terri
tory to give the farmer the benefit of
experience and advice in the matter
of intensive agriculture. 1t is thus
an effort toward practical co-opera-
tion between the national govern
ment and the various states in the
interest of agriculture.
The Lever bill calls for an approp-
ildiiOn Vi 9osDUUtOUu u Dt tAltuutu
over period of 10 years. with the
states of the union subscribing an
equal amount. The author of the
bill states that Belgium and other
European countries, through the in
PRODUCTION of intensive farming
methods, are producing from two
and one-half to three times as much
per acre as America. The support
of the bill is non-partisan, which
may also be said OF its opposition.
AS matter in which their personal
interest is great, it would be well for
farmers to secure copies of the
measure and give 1t thoughtful
study. If the lawmakers at Wash
ington find it has the hearty support
of the agricultural interests of the
country there can be little doubt of
its passage.

SAME IN NEVADA.

Bills creating a number OF new
commissions have been introduced
in one or both branches of the legis-
lature. There are some commits
sions that are really necessary and
they serve a good purpose but In
too many instances commissions are
created for the sole purpose of pro-
viding an easy berth for some poll
ticians out of a job. These meas
ures ought to be serutinized with
great deal of care and If doubt exists
as to its necessity members Of the
legislature should give the taxpayers
the benefit of the doubt and vote

Anent the Derby fish ladder talk
that comes from the divorce colony,
the following news dispatch from

ticularly so to the water users of
this valley, when it is noted that
rather than a $4,000 ladder, which

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER
Secrets Pertaining To The Craft
Making Plain Its Few
Needs.

In a recent article commenting on
the effects of various organizations
to secure free publicity, an Illinois
editor made the statement that it
Many other editors are laboring un-
der a similar delusion, and for the
benefit of this class, Thomas w.
Mayo, publisher of the Record, st.
Anne, ILL.,, pens the following:
1t takes money to run a newspap-
er? What an exaggeration..
What whopper. 1t doesn't take
any money to run newspaper. 1t
can run without money. 1t is not a
business venture. 1t Is a charitable
institution, a begging concern,
highway robber. The newspaper is
a child of the air, a creature of a
dream. Ii can go on and on, when
any other concern would be in the
hands of the receiver and wound up
with cobwebs in the windows.
1t takes wind to run a newspaper;
it takes gall to run a newspaper; it
takes scintillating, acrobatic imagin-
alton, half dozen white shirts and
a railroad pass to run a neswpaper.
But money, heavens to Betsy and six
hands around, whoever needed mon
ey to conduct a newspaper? Kind
words are the medium of exchange
that do the business for the editor
kind words and church social
tickets. When you see an editor
with money, watch him. He'll be
paying his bills and disgracing his
profession. Never give money to an
editor. Make him trade it out. He
likes to swap.
Then when you die, after you
have stood around for years and
sneered at the editor and his little
Jim Grow paper, be sure you have
copies by one of your weeping chill
dren, and when she reads the gen.
erous and touching notice about you,
forewarn her to neglect to send the
editor fifteen cents. 1t would over
whelm him. Money is corrupting
thing. The editor knows it, and
what he wants is your heartfelt
thanks; then he can thank the print
ers and they can thank the grocers.
Give your job work to a travelling
man and then ask for half rates for
church notices. Get your lodge let
ter heads and stationery printed out
of town and then flood the editor
with beautiful thoughts in resolu-
tions of respect and cards of thanks.
They make such spicy reading and
you are so proud of your local paper
when you pick it up filled with these
glowing mortuary articles.
But money-scorn the filthy
thing. Don't let the pure innocent
editor know anything about 1t. Keep
that for sordid trades people who
charge for their wares. The editor
gives his bounty away. The Lord
loves a cheerful giver. He takes
care of the editor. Don't worry
about the editor. He has a charter
from the state to act as community
door mat. He will get out the paper
somehow; and stand up for the
town and whoop it up for you when
you run for office. Don't worry about
the editor-hell get on. The Lord
knows how-but somehow.

THE LAKE TAHOE QUESTION
Will Be Subject of Conference
In San Francisco To-
morrow.

| Project Engineer ID. w. Cole will
leave this evening for San Francisco,
where a conference will be held be-
tween those representing the Lake
Tahoe interests combating the gov
eminent in its plan to appropriate
the surplus waters of the Ia
hoe watershed, and the government
engineers The hearing will be held
tomorrow in the San Francisco fed
eral building and IN addition to the
government and private engineers
City Attorney O'Shaughnessy, of San
Francisco, and Forest Reserve En-
gineer Maltby will be disinterested
ones present.
The meeting has been arranged
by Secretary of the Interior Walter
Fisher, evidently with a view of OBJ
tanning an unbiased report OF the
status of the Lake Tahoe embroglio
and to give the protesting owners of
marginal lake property an opportun-
ity to prove their alleged rights to
the waters of the basin. This the
secretary desires, that he may act
quickly and firmly in bringing about
an adjudication of the watershed
rights.
The governments engineers will
oe fortified with data, constituting
diagrams and tables showing the
amount OF water yielded by the wat
ershed oyel a period of Il years
and its value for power and irriga-
ton. In turn the Bliss and other
private interests will essay the task
of showing that no surplus waters
are to be had for government ap-
preparation, which in view of deter
limitations already made will be ex-
tremely difficult, If not impossible
altogether.
The results of this conference,
which will be similar in character
to the one that determined the
Heteh- Hetehy watershed rights, will
be watched with interest by the
water users of this valley, for the
Lake Tahoe waters have been con-
sidered an important unit in the sup
ply for this project, though not as
important now with the Lahontan
dam promised, as formerly.
