NEVADA SUGAR.
Reno Tradesmen DO Not Leader
Fallon Product.

Il would seem that the much
Wanted loyalty to home institu-
tlons is not In evidence in Nevada
trade circles This fact was brought
home recently. when prominent
citizen o. Reno. in a position TO
know. told us that of the stores In
his town but two sold the Fallon SUI
gar. This is not right, particularly
In view of the fact that Reno expects
to share substantially of the pros
perty of the local factory. II would
seem that Nevada tradesmen are
culpable in this respect and are In
line for a jolt.
Fallons factory was erected at
much sacrifice on the part of the
promoters. II can only be success
fully maintained by the undivided
support of the state. II this Is not
irtheoming the industry cannot
thrive. And not alone are the
tradesmen delinquent, but the house
wives should make 1t point at all
times to ask for Nevada sugar. which
Is little the best produced any

PEDAGOGUES ARE UNDERPAID
School Teachers Salaries Have
Not Kept Pace With Cost
of Living.

Public school teachers of the Unit

life insurance or to proceed with fur

Bureau of Education, issued last
week.
Most of the teachers of the coun-
tiy, have. in effect. had their salaries
reduced since 1897" the report says
Despite an apparent increase in
money received by them the high
cost of living has cut into their sal
aries just as definitely as If school
board had sliced them. A teaching
position which paid 5000 in 1897 is
paying in purchasing power an equiv
alent of $416 today, If meaured by
1897 prices, the teacher on the
$1,000 salary gets no more for his
money than he would have procured
Is years ago for $693.
prices in 1911 were AL per cent
higher than in 1907, that retail
prices had increased 50.2 per cent
in the same period, while in June.
1912, retail food prices were Gil per
cent higher than in 1896. With
these figures as basis, an analysis
of teachers salaries in five cite in
different parts of the country shows
the plight of the teachers in the
problem of increased cost of living.
Teachers spend more than work
ingmen for some things" the report
states, though their pay is about
the same. Rent and clothing are
bigger items in the teachers budget
than in the laborer's, indicating
more exaeting community demands.
Teachers also spend relatively moro
than workingmen for the following:
Insurance, religious purposes, GAR
ity, amusement, vacations and care

Press Dispatch From Washing

WASHINGTON, May 9.-As re-
ALT of a unanimous request for rep
rosentatiyes of settlers upon various
.ogernment reclamation projects for
geater voice in the management of
,ha projects, Secretary Lane asked
,bese delegates tonight to draft to-
n,orrow for submission to him "a
conservative outline" of the things
that shall be put up TO the settlers
for their determination.
The secretary advised them to be
az leyel-headed as they could and not
~ ask for full control OF the projects
before completion and payment
therefore.
eYou need not ask for full control.
for do not intend to give it to you"
he said.

Work In Montana.
Complaints of the cost of the irri-
CATION service as to the Montana gov
ernment-built projects induced an
inquiry by Secretary Lane as to the
adysability of extending the govern

Senator Walsh of Montana pointed
out that privately owned projects

said he thought the government

the government for non-payment of

Secretary Lane suggested that the

SECRETARY or THE INTERIOR
Will lnaugurate a More Liberal
Policy Shorty For Project
Settlers

The Standard received the follow
ing wire from Hon. Il. l.. Douglass
in New York under date of yester-
day, which is self-explanatory The
message follows:
The Churchill County Standard,
Fallon, Nevada.
Was present at a hearing of the
Water Users associations before
Secretary of the Interior Franklin K.
Lane. 1t has developed that the
heads of the reclamation service are
almost sure of removal and the en-
tire service will be remodeled. The
water users will be given powers In
the management of projects never
dreamed of heretofore. The Nation
al Federated Water Users has devel-
oped united front and its power is
felt on every hand. Mr.. Sears, rep
resenting our project. Is one of the
recognized leaders and If 1t had not
been for opposing powers from our
onh s1aAt ne houlu nave dCcOfn-
plished much more. | have request
ed Mr.. Sears to furnish you with
copy of the proceedings as soon as
published which will tell who the OPP
posing powers be.
II. l.. DOUGLASS.
From the above wire, 1t is mani
fest that the Wilson administration
is setting about wisely and without
cavil to correct apparent defects in
the reclamation law fabric. The
conference called by Secretary Lane
has undoubtedly been productive of
world of information and the fund
of knowledge thus gained from the
individual experiences of national
reclamation projects will materially
assist him in the shaping of a policy
that will spell better and more liber-
al government treatment for the arid
land settlers of the nation.
The proceedings of the conference
will be published in full in this paper
as soon as 1t is at hand

balance of power between the partis-

they cannot bring themselves to de-

Chief Executive Will Prevent
lmportations of Infected Pro-

During the last session Of the leg
islature 1t was found that Nevada
lacked sufficient quarantine laws in
relation to live stock, hay and other
matters. Laws were drawn and
passed as suggested by those yersed
in the matters and are now to be
applied as the laws provide. Gov
ernor Oddie has issued the following
proclamation along the lines mapped
out under the present laws:
Whereas, it has beeen made to
appear TO me that the farming in
dustry in the state is endangered by
importations of alfalfa hay into Ne
yada from certain districts of Utah,
Idaho and Wyoming infested with
the alfalfa weeyil:
Now, therefore, |, Tasker L. Cd
die, Governor of the State of Ne
yada, under the authority in me
vested by Chapter ESQ, Statutes of

the importation into Nevada of any
alfalfa hay grown in the following
described districts in adjacent states,
and hereby declare such districts
quarantined against by reason of the
presence therein of the alfalfa Wee

of the State of Utah lying between
the seth and 42nd parallels of lati-
tude and between the 111th and
18th degrees of longitude; also

tion to horses and cattle:

or association designated by the State
Quarantine Officer, Professor Gordon
H. True, Reno, Nevada. Within
the provisions of this proclamation,

all States of the Union. This proc
lamationshall take effect and be in
force on and after June /, 1913"
In the case of the bee industry
the following quarantine was issued:

Health a Factor in Success.

The largest factor contributing TO
mans success is undoubtedly
health. 1t has been observed that
man is seldom sick when his bowels
are regular-he is never well when
they are constipated. For constipa-
tion you will find nothing quite SO
good as Chamberlain's Tablets. They
not only move the bowels but i'm
prove the appetite and strengthen
the digestion. They are sold by all
dealers.

JAPANESE LAND OWNERSHIP
Is Simplified By Reports From
Washington on Land

WASHINGTON, May 10,-Figures
on file in the bureaus at Washington,
apparently overlooked, throw an in

California as regards the number of
Japanese in California and the
amount of land they hold there.
These figures show that the total
number of Japanese in the United
States at the census of 1910 was 49,
157. or about one-tenth of one per
cent of the population, being an in
crease OF 47,S31 in ten years. The
number of Japanese in California
have increased In the ten-year per-
iod from 0,151 to 1855. The Jap
anese, however, are not extensive
land owners. In only thirty-two of
the fifty-one counties of California,
for example, do the japanese own any
farms at all; in only sixteen of the
thirty-two do they own SO much as
one hundredth of one per cent of
the farm acreage of the country,
and in no county do they own so
much as one half of one per cent In
Fresno, where the Japanese owner
ship is largest, 1t Is .43 per cent. The
in 1910 was sS.f97, of which the
Japanese held 1916, or 81 per cent.
