Jack London is giving the public
his first hand impressions of John
Barleycorn in a serial running in the
Saturday Evening Post. Despite the
interesting manner in which London
verberates astute and wise old John
Barleycorn, one is constrained to be-
lieve he has commercialized live
topic in lieu of a real fiction text
Jack is whizz whenever he
launches out into love and adyen-
ture, but in this instance, knowing
something of his Unsuitable appetite
for booze, his treatise assumes the
nature of a mere platitude. But
Jack is wonderful fellow anyway
and one of the most powerful writers
of fiction this country has produc-
ed. His John Barleycorn story is
interesting chiefly by reason of the
fact that it consists of a recitation
of his personal experiences as an un-
tutored country youth, wharf rat,
sailor before the mast and world
wide traveller in search of adventure.

At the city council meeting of
Tuesday evening of last week, Ordin-

County telephone system 25 year
franchise along the thoroughfares of
town was passed and action was TAX
en- on the project of furnishing wa
ter for the Fallon cemetery, which
will be done free OF charge upon the
fulfillment of certain contingencies.
Drays were jangling, autos were
hooting their hoarse warnings, mes
sengers were ringing small gongs,
newsboys were screaming, inebriated
| joy riders were dreaming and the
thousand noises of midday traffic in
Fallon were at their loudest when an
awful screech arose above all the
din and hushed the busy, careless
world as If by magic. Death had
come to a friendless, homeless ca
nine, whose antecedents probably
followed a Piute war party in the
old days, and as he reeled away
from contact with a heavy vehicle,
suffering from his death blow wo-
men ran to the carcass side and chat
tered and peered, men peeped over
their specs and blew a sympathetic
nose and little children indulged
their curiosity. Raw. crude, rude
and bleeding tragedy, Ell? Pretty
soon Marshal dollhouse shouldered
the remains of the deceased and
gave 1t decent burial in the dog pot

RECLAMATION PLAN WRONG.

Nevada is a state of large area,
large among the largest of all our
states, ranking fifth in area. 1t is so
traversed by mountain ranges that
the distribution of rainfall and snow
fall is very unequal. Its entire area
may properly be classified as either
arid or semi-arid. IN the govern
ment's plan for reclamation of arid
lands, Nevada presents by far the
largest field for exploitation of any
of the states. The larger use of Ne
yada's latent resources is possible
and reasonable, all with the end in
view of Nevada supporting ultimate
ly a population many many times in
excess of the present numbers.
But the reclamation fund in its
first conception, does Nevada an in
justice. The provisions of this law
are strangely contradictory, contra
dictory because the fund under the
present arrangements must depend
upon public land sales for its enrich
ment. though truth to tell arid land
Is of little or no worth and of con-
sequence in little demand, 1t thus
happens that the greatest field for
reclamation is the poorest contribu-
t1r to the fund and inasmuch as the
law contemplates that public land
monies thus diverted shall be ex-
pended proportionately in the states
furnishing the land sold, Nevada can
get little for further reclamation eff
forts until the law is revised In
deed, Nevada has vastly oyerdrawn
her quote for the Truckee-Carson ir-
rigation scheme. The plan is wrong.
Government money schould be priyi-
legged for uses wherever it appears
that the most good will result, ire
spective of how or where the mon
eys We're derived There are alto
gether too many strings to the gov
ernment's reclamation plan as con-
stituted at present.

SAME HERE.

Would it not be a wise act for the
city fathers to raise the speed limit
for automobiles in this city to fifteen
miles an hour and then have the law
obeyed? The city officers are per-
feetly willing to enforce an ordl-
nance which is in reason but surely
will not act on a law which tends to
obstruct traffic. An eight hour a
mile limit is all right in a village OF
undertakers but is far too slow for
a booming city like Carson.-Carson

states in the Balkan league are report

division of the territory won from

that the Balkan states would waive

ments in the Balkan confederation.
This was regarded as a polite way of
meeting Turkeys ultimatum that the
