Paul watched him with an accession
Of horror Was he digging his grave?
There could be no other purpose In
this manuever. He dug deep, though,

sand until he had excavated a hole

Then he stood up, stretched himself,
yawned, and signified to Paul to step
in.
Paul hesitated, and the second sol

v al PRESS COMMENT


In the Elko Free Press appears a Ions
editorial bewailIng the veto by Govern
or Oddie of the Estate highway" bill,
or bills. by which the Legislature at.
tempted to make certain appropriations
for building State highways. OF course,
Elko has a howl coming on that veto;
so has White Pine, as well as some other
counties. We disagree with both the
logic and principle of Governor Oddie'e
veto; we don't think his position sound
or sensible. But far be it from the
people of Ely or White Pine TO sit down
in the middle of the road and let out
the kind of yelp that Elko is giving
vent to. Listen to this, from the Free
Press editorial. in speaking of the auto
tourists:
1.-THE world at large is notified by
Governor Oddie's action, that we do
not desire them to come across the State,
and as Idaho is straining every nerve to
induce them to come through that State,
she will naturally get the travel. They
will come to Ogden, and from there 60
north to Pocatello, and west. Or take
the southern route and cut out Nevada
entirely"
Right here we throw down our hat
and join issue; the world at large is not
so notified by Governor Ofdie's veto;
Idaho will not get this travel, naturally
or otherwise they will not come TO Og.
den and from there 90 north to Pocatello
and west; and they will not take the
southern route and cut out Nevada.
Do you a to know what
route they are going to take? Let

Carson Valleys Artesian Wells

The Gardnerville Record Courier gives
a detailed account of the artesian wells
flowing in Carson Valley. When the
list of the 30 wells is looked over it is
found that some big wells are flowing
and all within Carson Valley. The
largest well cited is that on the George
H. Hanlan place which gives out ZIG. 900
gallons every "a hours. while several
wells flow from fifty to sixty thousand
gallons per day. The wells average in
depth from 45 to 1850 feet, the deepest,
the average being about 300 feet. The
largest casing used is 4-inch, while most
Of the wells are of the three-inch type.
1t is one of the factors that will lead TO
further reclamation in Carson Valley,
says the Appeal.

State Engineer Returns Home

State Engineer K~earney, who has
been taking testimony on water rights
in Lovelock Valley. has returned to his
Office at Carson. The hearing in Love-
lock was of an informal nature but over
80 claimants to water rights appeared
and submitted their testimony. The
idea of the hearing is to decide prior
aud real water rights with the amount
OF water that is to be delivered to each
farmer along the course. The same &C.
ton is to be taken in the Elko and Eu-
reka County sections. By this mean
many a lawsuit is prevented and the
farmer with a water right knows just
where he stands.

Chemical Investigation Shows Ne

More Than Alfalfa

A San Francisco press dispatch quot
ing from q prominent resident of that
city. says:
81 have secured some chemical inves-
tigation of the properties of sagebrush.
and such men as Professor Sprawling,
of the Northwestern University Of Chi
cago, Professor James E. Tammage. of
Salt Lake, and Professors jacobson and
Dinsmore, OF the State University of
Nevada, unite in the declaration that a
ton of sagebrush contains more than 1913
worth Of staple chemical products. char
coal, distillate, alcohol. creosote. etc.,
which can be extracted at a cost of s. a
ton.
"a railroad is selling land at IS an
acre, and inviting farmers to come in
aud clear the land for alfalfa. The

acre. aud can be handled at a clear
profit Of $40 q ton. Thus every acre of
sagebrush is worth $500. The sage
brush is worth more than the alfalfa il
the settlers pay % an acre TO clear it up
aud burn the sagebrush instead of *
tracing the values.
"The sagebrush is worth more than
all the mines in the West and will pay
q profit Of more than 500 per cent on
the investment. Yet no one tackels it,
for capitalists prefer to invest in sugar
beet factories that pay 6 per cent a year,
when the crops are good. The sage
brush crop is sure. and after you clear
the land of it is fully replenished in
seven years without any replanting. Gull
