4 PROPOSAL FOR ROAD WORK
Nevada Hills Mining Company
Would Cooperate With
County Authorities

The Nevada Mills Mining Company
has submitted a proposal to the
county authorities that should with
out doubt have their entire espousal,
providing the county's exchequer
will stand the consequent expense.
For a long time the improvement of
the road connecting Fallon with
Wonder and Fairview has been ear
nestly sought by the mining inter-
ests, which form a considerable part
of the county's resources. but the
county funds have not warranted
any exclusive compliance with the de-
sire Recognizing this fact, and CO.
ineidently, that the life of the mining
industry is largely dependent upon a
passable route between the camps
and Fallon, their distributing point,
the representatives of the Nevada
Hills have agreed with the county
authorities to erect at the mining
company's expense huge crushed
rock bins at Fairview and to keep 1t
full TO overfowing at all times for
the county's free uses. In turn the
Nevada Hills offer is contingent upon
the county contracting with team
sters for the hauling of this rock to
needed points on the Fallon-Fair-
view road and the keeping of man
and team for the proper disposal of
the crushed rock.
There is no doubt of the scheme
being a good one and an alternative
that will result in vast improvement
to the mining camp thoroughfare.

THE DECAp|TATIOn OF NEWELL
Has Occurred, According To
Telegram From Fulton
II. Sears

Hon. r. l.. Douglass, president of
the Truckee-Carson water users as
sociation, received brief telegram
Monday from Fulton II. Sears, who
together with United States Senator
Key Pittman, is representing this
project at the general conference of
project Representatives with the sec
retary of the interior. This message
brings the news from Mr.. Sears that
francis H. Newell, director of the
reclamation service, has been or is
lbout to be removed; that the new
administration is disposed to recog-
aize the water users associations
and that this project will be turned
over to the people; that all water
users associations will be reorgan-
lied in a coordinate plan and that
the estimated and not the actual cost
of all government projects will ap-
ply in the repayment plan.
MIR. Sears stated further in his
message to Mr. Douglass that the
conference would probably be drawn
out over a period of three weeks and
that much general good for the gov
ernment projects would result.
This conference Is one of the first
moves of the Wilson administration
to get down to the bottom of reela-
nation affairs and so revise tho gen.
eral plan that the settlers will bene-
fit from the governments paternal-
ism.

DRY FARMING.
The Possibilities of This Form of En-
deavor Apparent.

That dry farming is a success in
Nevada is an assured fact, provided
by the records of the experimental
farm in Elko county.
The Phoebe Record thus sets forth
some of the things that have been
accomplished at the experimental
farm:
A law enacted in 1910 by the state
legislature provided for the estab-
lishment of state experimental dry
farm. with the object of determining
whether or not dry farming could be
successfully conducted in Nevada.
An appropriation of $4,000 was
made to carry on the work for the
first year, with an additional $1O,-
600 to carry on the work during the
next two years.
The farm is located in Elko coun-
ty about Il miles south of Elko, in
valley containing thousands OF
acres of land with conditions of soil
and rainfall quite similar to those
on the farm.
Soil conditions on the farm are
very favorable for growing crops
without irrigation. Like the soil
throughout the valley, it ranges from
a deep sandy loan to a rich black
clay loan. The sub-soil varies from
sandy clay to clay loan and
very retentive to the acre.
Sixty day oats. Kubanks wheat
and spring rye followed in the order
named.
The grain from each variety was
we'll filled and of excellent quality,
in every case the weight per bushel
exceeding the standard weight for
each variety.
Although the yields reported on
spring grains are quite favorable,
there is no question but that the win
ter grains will outyield them.
A field of Turkey Red wheat is re-
ported to have yielded AZ bushels to
the acre. This grain was not irriga-
ted but the rainfall amounted to
about five inches for the season.
In Nevada winter grains mature
about three weeks earlier thon the
spring grains, and since very little
moisture falls during the latter half
of the period of growth, the winter
varieties far exceed the spring grains
in amount of yield.
Potatoes, peas and other vega
tables succeed well and their yield
shows what can be done by the dry
farmer.
The successful development of the
state dry farm in Elko county will
greatly increase the acreage of culti-
waited land in the state. 1t Is esti-
mated that the total area actually
dry-farmed in Nevada last year ex-
eeeded 1000 acres.

MEXICAN DIES FROM WOUNDS
Joe Ramos, All Round Bad
Character, Dies From Cum
shot Wounds

Joe Ramos and Michael Medino,
two Mexican laborers, engaged in
an altercatIon at the sugar factory
yesterday afternoon, during which
Ramos received two revolver shots
in his abdomen, resulting in his
death at the county hospital yester-
day morning. Medino was taken In
to custody Immediately following the
shooting, while Ramos was hhrried
to the county institution for medical
treatment.
Eye witnesses of the affair all
agree that Ramos was the aggressor
in the affair resulting in his death,
attacking Medino with knife and
infiicting several wounds about the
head and neck before Medino drew
bis gun and shot. Ramos had been
known about Fallon for several years
and was generally regarded as bad
character. He served sentences in
the county jail for misdemeanors at
different times and was given
foater recently, but refused to move
away.
1t seems that he injectd himself
into conversation in progress be-
tween Medino and another Mexican
and without warning attacked Me-
dino with knife, with the result
that the latter was compelled to de-
fend himself.
A coroner's inquest was held yes
terday afternoon and justice court
hearing was also contemplated,
though this paper went to press be-
fore the results of either were
known. 1t was generally conceded
however, that all the evidence avail
able exonorates Medino completely
and that he will not be held fo.' trial.
Ramos will be buried today at the
county's expense.

A BONANZA MINE AT ALPINE
w. w. and j. P. Williams Un-
cover a Ledge Carrying
Fabulous Values

Talk about your picture rock,
your jewelry ore, your wealth carry
ing quartz If the latest strike made
at Alpine upon the Grand Prize
claim owned by w. w. and J. p.
Williams is not the real, pure un-
adulterdted article, then the grains
of gold as large as ordinary wheat,
bristling out from the samples of
the rock, taken right from the sur
face, belle, and. no dependence is to
be placed upon appearances, for GER
tanly the samples brought to town
Sunday would Indicate that the
Grand Prize claim, through some in
cxplainable hunch of the locators,
was named rightly
The samples were several pounds
in weight. were literally specked
with gold and are said to be from a
ledge that exists from the surface
with every appearance of permanent
cy and continued richness. Though
no assays have been made the free
gold in evidence would indicate that
values approximating several thous-
ands of dollars per ton prevail and
that Alpine is on the states mining
map for good.
J. P. Williams, who mines as a
side issue when he isn't overseeing
lambing or corralling cattle, made
the strike Saturday, and yesterday
w. w. Williams, together with Mrs.
Williams and C. W. Foote left post
haste for Alpine, where plans will be
matured for the active exploitation
of the Grand Prize and adjoining
claims that they may be made to
yield up their riches.

VIEWS OF IOWA CAPITALIST
Thinks Government Errs In Its
General Reclamation Plan
Needs Correction

VIM. Logan. a keokuk Iowa,
banker, accompanied by his niece,
Miss Mccormick and nurse, Mrs. Gil
bert, visited Saturday with Mr.. Log
ans nephew, County Clerk c. l.. No
BILE. Mr.. Logan was on his way
home from an extended tour of the
west and ne WAS particularly inn
pressed with the virtues of this great
undeveloped valley. Having visited
several other government projects
lately he was in a position to make
some highly pertinent observations
In connection with the government s
reclamation plan.
He gave il as his belief that the
government should exact no re-im-
bursement from the arid land set
tier until his allotment has been fully
reclaimed, giving specific period
in which to encompass this result of
say ten years. The government, the
meanwhile, can get money for the de-
yelopment of its arid lands at two
or three per cent, something the far
mer cannot do in any event, and he
cites the governments policy of
building a 100000 canal a.
Panama and giving its use scot free
to millionaire ship owners, the
strangely contradictory government
al policy exacting at the same time
full reimbursement from the home-
builders of the arid west.
Mr.. Logan went on to cite some-
thing of the vast increment that is
sues to the governments wealth
with the subduing of the desert and
thinks the possible infinite results
well warrant a more liberal govern
mental policy than has been forth
coming to date.
Back in the east, he says, conserv-
ative business interests generally ac-
eept the view that the reclamation of
the idle arid land, wherever it is
possible, is the most logical channel
for government investment and he
attaches no particular truth to the
regularly made claim of politicians
that eastern sentiment is preventa-
tive of liberal treatment for the
hardy men of the west who are ad-
ding to the nations wealth by their
toll and privation.
Mr.. Logan exhibited a comprehen-
sive understanding of the situation
in the west, as evidenced by the facts
and figures he had at his command.
He is the man who first conceived the
gigantic power undertaking at Keo-
kuk, Ia, which contemplates the
Harvesting of the Mississippi at that
point. He and his party left Satur-
day evening, after having been es-
corted to Lahontan where the sights
attaching the governments great
undertaking, We're viewed. After
visiting the larger cities en- route,
Mr.. Logan will arrive home within
few weeks.

The 1913 clip from Mr.. Williau.s'

SWEET POTATOES.
Plants VIII Be Brought Here For
Distribution.

to distribute these plants to valley
farmers desiring to experiment with
the crop, to whom the charge will
be the actual cost of obtaining the
plants. In any event the cost will
probably not exceed s5 per thousand
plants and orders may be placed at
any time at the reclamation offices.
Should there be any surplus of the

NORRIS GIRLS STORY.
Corroborated That of the Warrington
Girl at San Francisco.

San Francisco, Aug. l5.--Lola Norris
followed Marsha Warrington on the
witness stand yesterday and repeated
virtually unchanged but in even strong
er terms the story of seduction, intimi-
dation and elopement from Sacramento
to Reno on which the government bases
its prosecution of Maury l. Diggs and
Drew Caminetti under the Mann act.
The trial of Caminetti will follow that
of Diggs in progress.
In the morning session Marsha War
rington concluded her testimony on
cross examination when Judge Van
Fleet cut short the questions of Nathan
Coghlan for the defense, with a curt
statement that they elected nothing
new or material to the case.
Contrary to expectation Lola Norris,
who followed her. was the more out
spoken of the two. She was never at
loss for an answer and her replies we're
distinct, specific and full.
In all essentials her narrative was
the same as that of Marsha Warrington
She reaffirmed that the elopement to
Reno was only brought to pass by
threats of exposure if they remained in
Sacramento; that marriage had been
promised before and after their fight,
and that Diggs bought the tickets.
