The report of Pujo committee had
not bee digested thoroughly enough
for the formation Of conclusions upon
which to base speculative action.
While some recommendations Of the
committee were regarded as Of a char
acter to give Wall street deep concern

enactment of C legislation, there
was a disposition to dismiss this and
all other political consideration for
the present until the new admins

FOREST SERVICE DIS(Ov.
FRS new PLANT SPECIES

In making study of grazing lands
on the national forests, l25 entirely
new species of plants have been dis
covered by the government s experts
and will be named and classified by
the botanists of the department of ag-
riculture.
Their discovery came about through
the collection of some 1900 different
plant specimens, with notes as to their
habits of growth and forage value
This work is part of a comprehensive
plan to determine the grazing value
of every acre of national forest land
in which the character of the soil to
grow certain forage crops is to be de-
termined and an effort made to decide
for which class of stock-sheep. eat
tie or goats-the range is best suited
The men who have made the studies
have combined the qualities of prac-
teal stockmen and trained botanists
They divided the areas into such
small subdivisions that maps have
been prepared which show exactly the
kinds of feed which grow on each
acre, and the time of year it is ready
for grazing. The maps also show the
stocks water supply and indicate the
kind of stock best suited to the area.
The investigation also showed the
examiners many areas covered with
flourishing plants which apparently
should furnish excellent grazing, but
which were not of character relshed
by stock; these areas, therefore, had
little or no stock carrying capacity.
AS n rocult Of tho studv tho foracf
service announces that it will be in a
position to perfect its system of graz
ing management to bring about still
better conditions for both stock and
range.

URGENT NEED FOR STATE
TO INSPE(T ALL FRUITS

The people of this section, and
probably over the state, are being
sold the greatest lot of rubbish of
California fruit that was ever ship
ped to the state. Not alone is the
fruit small ana measly. but it is alb
solutely green. Saturday an inspec-
tion was made of the peaches that
were to be peddled to the people. OF
the one hundred cases that came to
town there was not one case that was
ripe, or prime or fit for use. This is
practically a daily occurrence.
The California commission men
need regulating as bad as any outfit
that ever held up stage. They are
so busy supplying New York and
comes to the neighboring state.
Culls from the orchards are shipped
to Nevada. When the fruit is over
ripe it is shipped to the Nevada mer-
chant to dispose of. The result is
that the people are buying class of
fruit that would be condemned in any
other community on earth.
Some of the neighboring states
have enacted laws regulating this
fruit business, green lot is con
demned, over-ripe goods go to the
city dumps, and the concern handling
this trash is fined. This is law for
the people. Nevada has enacted lot
of laws to regulate pure food. A com
mission is busy testing goods on the
shelf and regulating the sales as well
as the scales of the merchant. 1t is
safe to state that more rotten fruit is
sold annually to the customers than
all the rest of the ~oods under in
spection in Nevada.
The next time the legislature gets
busy a law including the traffic in
fruits should be passed. In fact,
there should be added to the Federal
pure food law provision regulating
this trade. If the California COM
mission men can sell lot of rotten
or green fruit to the people it is just
as reasonable to allow the canned
goods men and the packer to ship
tainted and doetored stuff to the peo-
pie.
There is not a household IN Nevada
but has the same complaint to make.
r.very housewife has gone through
the experience and every head of the
family has spent more time cursing
than praying over the conditions. The
Nevada merchant is not to blame to
any great extent He has to take
what he can get, and that is the re-
fuse of the orchards and the packing
houses of California. Occasionally a
fruit man comes to town with a
choice lot of fruit. No one questions
his price as the goods are as represent
ed High license and the commission
men have almost put tne peddier out
of business. There is not a word OF
exaggeration in this statement, and
the pure food commission of Nevada
can do more good in one season along
such lines than all the testing ever
made on shelf goods.-Carson Appeal

COL. PLACE RETURNS
FROM SAN FRANCISCO

Col. +. X. Place, accompanied by
Mrs. Place and daughter, Eunice, re-
turned Sunday afternoon from a
week s trip to San Francisco. Miss
Enid Place, who returned with her
parents to Berkeley, resumed her
studies at the high school there yes
terday morning.
s. c. Hargraves, who accompanied
the party on the trip, returned with
them Sunday, and will look over the
land situation in the county, with a
view to engaging in the real estate
business. 1t is his opinion that with
the building of the Winnemucca Nor
thern, large territory will be avail
able to settlers which has heretofore
been practically inaccessible.

COUNTY DIVISION NOW
SEEMS no BE IN AIR

There is little or no discussion of
the proposed division of Humboldt
county, making Lovelock one of the
county seats. 1t is rarely mentioned
in either newspapers or in general con-
versation, but there is said to be a
quiet movement in that direction, al
though there are objections as well as
people favorable to the move.
One of the evidences that the mat
ter will be taken up seriously is the
fact that within the past two months
five attorneys have arrived in Love
lock and established offices, so as to
be in on the ground floor, so to speak,
both for practice and fer political

found the roads were in such condition
that they would be unable to get
through by machine. Mr.. Moore came
home by train, returning Saturday af-
ternoon for his family.

BOUNDARIES OF
new LAND DISTRICT

The Silver State is in receipt of the
following letter from Senator Pitt
man, dated Washington, July 80:
II herewith enclose you map show
ing the boundaries of the new Elko
land district. and also the Carson dis
trict. The reasons for creating the
land district are the following:
"First-The Carson City land die
trict Is so remote from many parts of
the State that the expense of attend
ing the land office and providing wit
nesses in land matters is almost pro-
hibitive.
'Second-Two land districts in the
State will facilitate the transaction Of
the business of the land office.
"Third-The land office will be
more familiar with the conditions ex-
isting in each district and will be bet
ter prepared to give information and
pass upon disputed questions
The boundary lines between the
districts, while possibly not satisfac-
tory to everyone in the State, have
been established where it is believed
they will be of advantage to the great
majority of the people of the State In
determining the. convenience of the
people of the State. it is necessary to
determine the convenience of those
having business with the land office.
This will require the consideration
rather of the means of transportation
than of the area of either district
There can be no question that 1. is
easier to reach the Elko land office
fiom White Pine, Elko, Lander and
Eureka counties. 1t is believed that
the residents of Humboldt county, liv-
Ing east of Winnemucca, will also be
benefited by having the land office at
Elko. The north and northeast por-
tions of Nye county and the northern
portion of Lincoln county were in
the people living in such portions Of
such counties find it easier to go 10
Elko than to go to Carson. as they go
by way of Ely, Eureka or Austin The
residents of southern Lincoln county,
Clark, Nye and Esmeralda counties
find 1t more convenient to go to Car
SON City because railroad transporta-
tion exists from such points to Carson,
while such railroad transportation
does not exist to Elko, without going
either to Salt Lake City or nearly to
Carson City
The boundary lines do not follow
county lines for the following reasons:
"First-Because the land office re-
quires that the district shall be de-
scribed in conformity with the public
surveys
"Second-Because the land involv
ed in the land offices is referred to
and described by reference to public
surveys-that is, sections, townships
and ranges-and not by reference to
county lines.
Third-Because the boundaries of
public surveys are distinctly marked,
while the boundaries of county lines
are not only not distinctly marked,
but are in many cases disputed.
"Folrth-It will facilitate the
transfer of papers affecting the new
land district from Carson City to
Elko.
'Fifth-There can be no confusion
with regard to land matters or titles.
as the papers and maps affecting the
ed at Carson City. while the papers
and maps affecting the lands in the
new district will be sent to Elko."

The Moose Carnival decoration com

Grating the streets during the three

be strung at intervals for the entire
length of Bridge street, which will
answer for the daytime. The matter of
Illuminating the street is under con
sideration, and it has been suggested
that lights be strung at frequent in
tervals on two wires running from the
Western Pacific to the Southern Pa
cifc. This would produce fine effect
and will probably be done if the mat
ter of expense can be satisfactorily
arranged.
