TRIBUTE TO PITTMAS.
Seattle Times Congratulates Country
On His Committee appointment.

On His Committee appointment.
1.-THE eeleetion of Key Pittman as
chairman of the Senate Committee
on territories ranks with the import
ant events of the Wilson administra-
ton, insofar as Seattle and Alaska
are concerned.
THE Times had occasion some
time ago to fayorably mention the
name of the senator from Nevada
and to express the hope that he
would be chosen TO lead one of the
committees in the senate that would
have hand in the shaping of the
legislation affecting the northern
territory
"It notes with pleasure that he
has been designated as the princi-
pal member of one that is directly
concerned with the conduct of the
countrys affairs in Alaska and hope
fully awaits the opportunity that
will be presented him to lead the
nation in constructive work in that
section of the American Domain.
"Of as much importance is his
own announcement that the COM
mittee, as selected, will be harmoni-
Gus and will work with President
Wilson and Secretary Lane in the
furtherance of plans for the develop
ment of the vast Northern treasure
land.
"The new administration is in a
position to achieve something con-
crete and definite in the near future.
Men who will deal with territorial
affairs are largely Westerners and
in a position to handle Alaska affairs
with eertinty and justice.
"Mr Lane, the Secretary of the
Interior, is a Californian. Mr.. Pitt
man, while Senator from Nevada,
has had extensive experience in Alas
ka and at one time was a practic-
ing attorney in Seattle.
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon,
is chairman of the Senate committee
on public lands. The chairman OF
the corresponding House committee
is Representative Scott c. Ferris of
Oklahoma whom Pinchotian conser-
! vationists vainly sought to defeat at
the polls and in his aspirations to
lead this important house committee.
"These men should be able to ter
inmate the era of stagnation due to
prevalence of the Pinchotian con-
servation theories and open up a
period of sane development that will
rebound to the credit of both the
government and of the states and
Alaska which have paid the cost OF
past experimentation. From the
Seattle Times, March IS. 1918.

AT LAKE TAHOE.
More Snow But Less Water Than In
1912.

Robert Watson, snowfall observer
west of the north end of Lake
Tahoe, has sent in his report to Sec
tion Director Cole of the weather
bureau the snow conditions in the
t.rritory there. He reports that at
Station No. 1, there are ~ feet of
snow on the average; at No. on the
7000-foot level, feet; No. 8, 1900
foot level, Sfeet, and No. 4, 4 u feet.
The snow, he says, is solid and dry
and will melt much more slowly at
the north end of the lake than at
the south end where it is loose.
Last year at station No on April
2, there was but seven feet of snow
while at No. station at the same
time last year there was only S1s
feet.
The lake this spring, according to
Mr. Watson, is 13 inches lower than
1t was at this time last year.-Ga-
zette.

WIN BALL GAME.
Fallon's Young Players Defeat Reno
High.

The Reno high school baseball
team engaged team representing
Fallon, made up from the younger
players, Sunday afternoon, and
those present received a good run for
their money. At the outset Abbie
Shirley, representing the local typo
graphical union, essayed the role of
pitcher and had his groove ball
working bully. All the Reno kids
had to do was to lean right strong
on his offerings and seven runs re-
suited in the first inning. At this
juncture of the proceedings Mapes
Ferguson, threw off his catcher's
mask, entered the pitchers box and
held the Renoites to two scores for
the remainder of the game, the Fall
Ion boys the meanwhile battling val
iantly against the odds imposed. The
locals finally tied the score in the
eighth inning and put the winning
score across the pan in the last half
of the ninth in a highly spectacular
manner.
The game was crowded full of
thrills and the manner in which our
younger set of tossors acquitted
themselves was highly commenda-
tory. Tubby Mulvaney pulled off a
stellar play in left field, grabbing a
long fly with his left nit, after which
he wallowed around in the rough
ground in his territory. He held to
the pill for an out that proved to be
the deciding factor in the contest.
Lloyd Foote catching, grittily
continued behind the bat with sew
eral fingers knocked loose. Once on
the second station Abbie Shirley re-
deemed himself by seooping up many
difficult chances. He is about ready
to graduate from the juveniles into
the first team. And there are others.
Earl Connors is a handy youngster
with the bat and covers ground like
veteran and Doc Kearns, lately
from Pike county isn't SO worse. In
fact the team lineup of Sunday was
good one and one that will give
any team of the state hard tussle
The local boys made seven hits,
which netted them 10 runs while the
Reno boys could get but nine runs
from IL hits, which proves that oul
boys are faster on the bases than the
opposing team.
In a financial sense the game and
the dance on the evening preceding
sufficed to defray all expenses and
allow a small margin in the treasury

Over use of water, inadequate
drainage systems. and the rise of al
kali after irrigation. occasionally
renders areas of farm land unfit foe
the production of profitable crops.
The remedies for theses troubles are
we'll known, but their application re-
quires time and some expenditure
of money. To encourage the prompt
installation of drainage and the Grad
ication of the alkali by washing 1t
out, the Secretary of the Interior
has issued a public notice affording
relief to all those settlers on gov
ernment projects whose lands are
thus affected.

deliver water at a nominal rental on
temporary contract to the owners
of such alkali lands. Where such
lands have been included in the area
covered by previous public notice

ment of the building, operation and
maintenance charges will become
due and payable on said lands will
be fixed hereafter by public notice.

A COMPLETE LIST OF DONORS
Of Supplies For The Flood Suf.
ferers of Ohio And
Indiana.

The sum total of Fallon's contri-
button to the flood sufferers back in
Ohio and Indiana as recapitulated at
meeting of the committees held
Monday evening, was 10 tons OF
food and clothing, approximately
$4,000 in value, which beyond doubt
establishes a record for towns of cor
responding size reckoning in a coun-
try-wide sense. Seventy-two donors
came forward with this amount and
the sole object sought was the al
deviation of misery in the stricken
food districts.
The books were closed upon these
acts of charity at Monday evenings
meeting, when Mayor George E.
Sherman. c. T. Linder, DR.. c. A.
Hascall, Ed Bingham and Tom Will
Hanson, committee secretary, met at
the city hall, arranged for the pay
ment of all outstanding indebted
ness, passed several resolutions and
listened to an extemporaneous
speech from Mr.. Linder that was
more or less classic.
Among the resolutions passed was
one thanking the Southern Pacific
for expeditions handling of the do
nations; another thanking the sub
seribers and still another embodying
vote OF thanks to Mr.. Linder for
his capable handling OF the affair.
All three factors were entirely nec-
essary for the consummation OF the
plan as completed.

subscribing to the Fallon contribu-
tions:

STATE TAX COMMISSION,
Has Superseded The State Assessors
In Taxation Matters.

The Nevada state tax commission
is making itself felt and we may be
pardoned for saying disadvantage
ously. Secretary L. F. Adamson has
addressed the assessors of the vari-
ou counties, instructing them to dis
continue the work of preparing tax
rolls and to forward to him a SAM
pie of all blanks in use. This is TAX
en- as meaning that some radical de-
partures are contemplated to become
effective at once. In the great ma
jority of instances the states asses
sors have purchased their Office sup
plies for the year and many had set
about in the work of fixing the prop
erty values for 1918. All this will
be nullified and the tax commission
will take over the general plan, in
turn instructing the assessors what
is expected of them, prescribing all
forms to be used and fixing values
to prevail.
1t thus happens that chaos will
probably be in order within a short
time as nullifying the work of the
states assessors and readjusting the
tax plan will prove anything but
simple. 1t surely seems that the
wiseacres bent upon changing our
tax system should have set January
1st, 1914, as the date for the laws
invocation, as the earliest time to
admit of practical application,

The High Cost of Living.

The persistent and undying agitation by the
daily papers of the large cities respecting the
high cost of living not but cause to reflect
on the causes therefor; and in doing so we find
that unless the people who are doing the most of
the complaining cease some of their methods
which have contributed to the rising prices of
food stuffs, prices will continue to advance until
many articles of food will be beyond the fnan-
cal reach of thousands of persons WHO are now
able, by dint of extreme economy, to have them
as part of their bill of fare.
One of the chief contributors to the increased
cost of foods is the rigid and oftimes arbitrary
inspection of foods under the power given
public inspectors by the states and federal gov
eminent. Thousands of bushels of foods that our
forefathers would have considered us deserviDg'a
place on their tables, are now denied a'chance of
