i wonder how many farmers are
pinning their faith to cotton this year

PROGRESS BEING MADE
ON THE PANAMA CANAL

1t is the expectation of Secretary
of the Navy Daniels that the battle
ship fleet of the United States will
pass through the Panama canal in
April next. He made this announce
ment at San Francisco ON July 25th,
in the course of a statement in which
he intimated that he was there to ex-
anime sites for a drydock ON San
Francisco bay. After the canal is
opened, the secretary added, the fleet
will be as much in the Pacific ocean
as in the Atlantic. On the same day
that Secretary Daniels made this
statement at San Francisco the Wash
ington authorities made the first pay
ment of $250,000 to Panama for the
annual rental of the canal zone. The
annual payments are in addition to
the $10,000,000 in cash paid to Pana-
ma nine years ago. On Tuesday Pres
ident Wilson sent to congress report
by the commission of fine arts outlin-
ing a plan for beautifying the canal.
The work on the canal thus far has
evidently been planned with a view
rather to utility than beauty, for the
commission finds in it no evidence of
the aesthetic. The construction is,
however, impressive because of its
scale and its simplicity, in the view of
the commission, which recommends
/ the erection of certain monuments and
other features to improve its general
appearance. The navy department has
authorized the Panama canal commits
sion to begin the construction of a
powerhouse, operating building and
employees quarters for the Darien
wireless telegraph station, which is to
be the most powerful in that part of
the world.-Bradstreet Is.

AN EAST INDIAN
IRRIGATION ENTERPRISE

The greatest enterprise ever under
taken by British irrigation engineers
has just reached it's completion. The
Lower Bari Doab canal in the Pun
jab, the third and last section of the
Triple Canal Project has been fin
ished, and vast areas in the Punjab
are receiving irrigation.
The Lower Bari Doab canal is un-
usual in its construction, for it actual
ly crosses upon a level the important
river Raw. The canal has cost about
81 100000 and it is expected that it
will irrigate over $1,000 acres of
crops. The Cherab canal, which is
another section of the Triple project,
alone irrigates an area equivalent to
two thirds of the whole cultivable
area of Egypt. The great Punjab
canals have done more, for they have
literally peopled the desert wastes.
The cultivators have been established
in districts which were formerly quite
useless. Their villages are thriving,
their land is growing in value, and
for them the desert sands have indeed
proved golden.
The Triple project cost $35, 900,
but it yields to the government re-
turn upon capital outlay of ~ per
cent. Yet it means affiuence to the
peasantry also, and life in the canal
zone is SO popular among the stalwart
men of northern India that the de-
velopment of irrigation is seriously af-
fecting the recruiting for the Indian
army my.-Philadelphia Telegram.

POLO SAID TO HAVE
BEEN AN ANCIENT GAME

When polo was first played in Eng
land in 1869 il was styled "hockey
on horseback. Yet hockey itself
was one of the numerous games with
stick and bali derived from the com
mon ancestor, polo.
They called il "chaugan' in the
days when the sport was popular with
the Persians. As far back as the sixth
century b. G. this sport of the Per
sian aristocraey was in a flourishing
condition. The ancient Persian poets
writers today. The game was played
by Persian women, too. In the British
museum there is an old painting of
several Persian ladies nlaying a game
of polo. The painting shows that the
Persians bandaged the legs of their
mounts exactly as the polo ponies are
handaged today.
The Mohammedans, when they con
quered Persia, learned the game of
"chaugan, and liked IT so much that
they took il up for one of their own
sports.
The game travelled from Persia to
Tartary, and then to India via Af
ghanistan. Japan and China, too, had
games bearing close resemblance to
it. In fact, throughout the entire
east polo was the principal game. 1t
derived its present name from the
''pulu' o4 the Thibetan tongue, mean
ing a willow hall.-Philadelphi Pub

MAY SETTLE WATER
SUIT BYST|PU[AT|ON

There seems to be prospect that
Company against the water users of
Quinn river valley may be settled by
stipulation. This suit, which is con
sidered one of the most important ever
tried in the state courts, has been
hanging fire for several years, but will
come on for hearing on September 2,
before Judge l.. N. French, of Church
i'll county, sitting in the Humboldt
County District Court. Judge Ducker is
disqualified from trying the action, for
the reason that before his elevation to
the bench he was an attorney in the
ease.
Yesterday a meeting was held in the
Office of District Attorney Callahan,
at which plaintIn was represented by
Attorney Edward F. Treadwell, of
San Francisco, and John Gilcrist, su-
perintendent for the Pacific Livestock
company. Defendants Judge w. II.
Minor, J. ID. Minor, Jerry Hearn, J. f.
Hearn, Thomas Scott, +. p. Snapp and
Mrs. f. Sullivan were also present
Some time ago stipulation was
drawn up and signed by all the defen-
udhts except those present at the
meeting yesterday. which provides
that an engineer, to be agreed upon,
shall make a survey of all the lands
now irrigated by the waters of Quinn
river and its tributaries, make meas
urements of and apportion the waters,
and submit his report to the Court,
which findings shall be final.
The matter was thoroughly discussed
at yesterdays meeting, and while no
final agreement was reached, there is
a possibility that the stipulation may
be signed up by those present before
the day of the trial.

OKLAHOMA Wild
WEST SHOW COMING

J. Benzinger was in town with his
advertising car Thursday and yester-
day, arranging for two performances
of the famous Oklahoma Ranch Wild
West show in this city Friday, August
29th. Although new organization.
the oklahoma Ranch show has already
comment. Unlike many of the oldtme
Wild West shows, the Oklahoma
Ranch exhibition does not depend up
on conventional and commonplace fea-
lures. The performance is credited
with being strictly up-to-date, and
while the old life on the plains is IL
lustrated in picturesque and often
thrillingly-dramatic way, especial at
tention is given to life on one of the
great bonanza ranches of today
There is a romance about the old
days on the plains that can never be
destroyed; the old frontiersmen, with
their long hair and deerskin dress; the
trappers; the overland mail drivers;
the wild Indians of the prairies-
these all have their fascination for
the student of events as well as the
lover of strenuous, wholesome amuse-
ment. But, after all, the modern cow
boy, although lacking in the gener
Gus numbers which characterized the
cid days, is cleverer than the cowboy
of twenty years ago. There are rop
ing feats that, few years ago, would
have been considered outside the range
of feasibility. There are tricks of rid
ing-dare-devil exploits upon outlaw
horses, and reckless disregard of life
and limb, that have never before been
equalled. All this, it is announced, is
illustrated in the performances of the
Oklahoma Ranch Wild West in way
that gives the show a distinct indi
viduality. In other words, il is de
clared to be "the real thing in Wild
West shows. A thrilling especially
added feature of the big show is SEN
sational auto polo game in which four
racing machines are utilized. This
wonderful feature will be presented at
every performance
The Oklahoma Ranch Wild West
day-which is expected to be a joyous
holiday for the local public-will be
preceded at 1890 in the morning by
what is described as one of the most
picturesque street displays ever seen
in this city. The parade is over a
mile in length. Hundreds of cowboys,
cowgirls, Indians, Mexicans, Cossacks
and other interesting people will be
in line. The array of great iloats and
tableaux cars is also said to be re-
markably effective, while nearly a doz-
en- different kinds of music enlven
the display.

LABOR DAY
PROCLAMATION

In compliance with the law and Gus
tom, which has set apart one day in
honor of human effort directed to the
accomplishment of things beneficial to
the welfare and advancement of civil
lization, !, Tasker l.. Oddie, governor
of the state of Nevada, in conformity
with the statutes, hereby declare
Monday, Sept. /, 1918, Labor Day,
TO be observed as a legal holiday
throughout the state. And / urgently
request all citizens to give the day
over to suitable observance of its
purpose. As civilization has advanced
it has dethroned idleness from power
and enthroned Labor. Once ease was
the estate which man coveted. Today
the right to labor is regarded as the
road to happiness and the achieve
ments of our labor is the justification
OF our living. The measure of worth
of men and women is not wnat each
may have achieved, but what each has,
by labor, contributed to the common
good, irrespective of the portion re-
tained
In testimony whereof, / have here
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the great seal of the state of
Nevada. Done at Carson City, this
14th day of August, in the year of our
Lord, one thousand nine hundred and
thirteen. TASKER L. ODDIE,
