What Water Does to
Nevada Waste Places
Makes Desert Lands Blossom Like a 1aroen a"'
the Rancher Enormous Returns on Whatever "'e'
ments He May Have Made

Island with its half a million ~people-wher ere
ovsr 100 artesian wells are now pouring hie-
giving waters upon the pArehed but rich
groupd Of the desert, and the number OF these
u;racls. working wells viii soon Be multiplied
MANY times more than tenfold -Adording m
plovment through intensified farming and Its
manifold adjuncss in both country snd town
o nearly as many people a. are now residing
in the whole State Of Nevada.
Nothing But the Truth
This may sound a little out Of the ordi-
nary to the man who has not studied the
situation as | have. and I know how conserv-
atiye bankers become because Of the t~railties
Of human nature. However, before you con-
sign me to a place reserved for the u~nreliables,
look into the matter for yourselves. examine
what other places have accomplished. and in
five or ten years from, now, write to me how
far assray we're your first conclusions. Let
me give you an instance, at once reliable and
full Of coming truth. Rockyford is in the
southeastern corner Of Colorado, where a few
years ago the desert held wal supreme. but
last year IL miles square Of this same desert
ground paid the Santa Fe railroad q million
dollars in freights alone. This amounted to
a little more than $40 per acre in freights in
one year. The little empire that bail FROM
when brought to as high a state of cultivation,
will multiply Rockyford's ~freightbill ten fold.
Cost of Wells
Water with Us is obtained by borings from
100 TO 400 feet deep, mostly the latter, ant
the flow Of water varies from 10 inches to 2C(
inches. The cost Of a well runs from $500 {,
$500, according to the depth and size Of tbs
hole. Lands cost from 81 an acre to $50 az
acre. and in addition to the lands held in pri
vate ownership some Government lands still
exist. The cost OF clearing, blowing and level
ing the lands will average about SIS per acre.
'sThe amount Of water requiredfor properly
irrigating an acre Of lond. with Us, is not yet
reduced TO that certainty where figures can b
depended upon, but, basing our situation upor
the experience of southern California, wher'
conditions are similar, it is safe to say that
well flowing % inches Of water will do dutl
for 20 or 90 acres Of land devoted to the pro
duction Of grass, grain, fruits and vegetables
One Of the most difficult things confrontin,
temptation of using too much water"

FEW YORK, oct 1s.-'Now l see
u why boxing iy called the manly
art"
The exclamation came from the
mouth of famous playwright at the
end Of the tenth round of the bout
between Packey Mcfarland and Tom
my Murphy, in Madison Square Gar
den, which Packey won easily.
Said the speaker, And j have seen
a master Mcfarland is 20 the
squared circle game what Sir Henry
Irving Is 20 the drama, what Shakes

Never in his whole career did Nc
Farland put up more brilliant ana
wonderful exhibition than he did last
night He had every HIT stop and
getaway of the manly art at his
glove tips. Murphy was as clay in

The Pride OF the Stock Yards, as
he was announced by Joe Humphreys

therefore no advantage in costume
II was announced that Mir. McFar-

Mcfarland is welterWeight nee

be, as you can plainly see.

might be mentioned that he still has
that caulifiower ear to wear IN fact
it is quite a cauljflower at this time
II IS almost a cabbage.
Like Fighting a Centipede.
This is evidence Of long and hard
toll on Mr. Murphy's part in the
garden OF pugilistic enGeavor. His
fighting front is square rugged and his
blond thatch is curly. Moreover DE
has been around a long time and has
many friends who We're greatly dis

SENATOR JAMES
Wins A VICTORY
Livestock and Meats Go On Free
List. Wheat and Flour Have
A Countervaillng Duty.

Washington, June %. The
senate finance committee to-
night had completed all the
schedules of the tariff bill and
Senator Kern issued a call for a
senatorial Democratic caucus
next Friday. One of the i'm
portant matters settled today
was that the countervailing
duty should not be put up on
live stock and meats. These are
to go on the free list unrestrict-
ed, as contended for by Senator
James. of Kentucky. Wheat
ard -four will go on the free
list, but with the countervailing
duty.
The eleventh hour discovery
that the sugar schedule contain
ed a Joker" which would have
operated to make all refined
sugar dutiable at two cents a
pound and nulify the provisions
for free sugar after three years
resulted today in an amendment
by the finance committee cor
recting the phraseology of the
schedule. The committee also
agreed on the amendment which
would repeal an 'act passed in
1890 excepting from general in
ternal revenue tax brandies used
by manufactures to fortify grape
wines.
An additional exemption OF
$500 for each child of family,
in the income tax section of the
tariff bill, was determined upon
tonight by the senate finance
subcommittee of which Senator
Williams is chairman, and q
change will recommended to the
majority members of the COM
mittee tomorrow. The subcom.
mittee is also considering a
recommendation changing the
81, 600 exemption to $4,000.

bundle of switches at their door,
warning them to discharge
James Shacklett, a young man
OF exemplary habits and held in

The note advised them to turn
Shacklett off at once and named
who should be his successor.
Gresham Bros. refused to com.
ply with the cowardly request.
Gresham Bros. are the leading
business men of the city and are
Christian gentlemen in every
sense Of the term, and should
the cowardly warning be carried

what could the open Hearth
Steel plants of this country do
for Fluor Spar. What will they
do when the flood stage of out
putting cease as cease it will
and must? These are very per-
tinent questions today and they
will have to be answered.
The laboratories of the larger
steel plants have had their re-
search chemists busily engaged
for the past two years endeavor-
ing to discover some other flux
that would take the place of Fluor
Spar in the Open Hearth Ste ell
plants. So far at least, no dis
covery of the kind has been made.
We are told that Fairview is
outputting rs tons and that Rosi-
clare daily tonnage is 400 TONS.
Here in Kentucky we are either
more modest or more truthful as
our yield is IS tons every "a
hours. This stated amount ag-
gregates $50 tins. daily an amount
that should give big stock piles
to every steel plantin the country
yet under such circums tances,
strange to say, no steel plant has
anything of a stock pile on hand.
1t may be possible that figures
will not lie but it is a pretty sure
proposition that lies will figure
and always have done so.
