Direct Result of Political influences Held With

ITO the victors belong the spoilso

cratic administration and the official

not reckless manner. Postmasters
and other government officials not
included in the civil service are
being replaced as fast as the ak can
be swung, and in several instances
democrats who served under a broad
republican administration are being
replaced by democrats under a
democratic administration.
Among the Nevada postoffices
in which immediate change is to be
made, in included Gardnerville.

es announced that the Senate had

MESSAGE TO
DA|RYMEN
Silo Is Means of Increasing the
Profits of Dairy and May
be TriedsHere

Returning from the California
creamery mems convention just con-
cluded at Bakersfield, B. d. Cardi-
nal of the Minden Flour Milling COM
pany and toe Minden Butter Manu-
featuring company, brings a mes
sage to the dairymen of Nevada. He
declares that extensive experiments
and practical tests throughout
southern California have demon
strated that alfalfa silo is by far the
best dairy cattle feed that has yet
been discovered and that its use is
becoming general throughout the
state, says the Journal.
He said that number of interest
ing things came up before the con-
vention and chat he learned many
valuable lessons which may be of
benefit to the fast growing dairy
industry in this state.
Among those he found that Cali
fornia dairymen are going in almost
exclusively for Thoroughbred dairy
stock and that they are get ing rid
of lesser grade stock as fast as possi-
BILE, finding them less profit ole.
The preparation of the alfalfa
silo is not generally understood III
Nevada but experiments are now
being conducted at the university
experimental farm. The green al
falfa is placed in an air tight tank
and allowed to ferment, and as a
dairy fee the results achieved are
remarkable. Some of the Californ-
ians are mixing green Indian corn
with good results.
Mr.. Cardinal spoke of the forma-
tion of dairy testing association
that is now in progress in the vicin-
| ity of Minden, from which big
things are expected. The dairy
men are joining together for the
employment of one or two expert
inspectors who will make business
of inspecting all herds of the associa-
ton to assist in wedding out those
cows which are found to be para
sites or non-producers. This has
been found a profitable system in
California.

DAM To
Be BUILT
To Cost $8G,coO and Reclaim
$4,000 Acres of Land in
this Valley

L. II. Taylor, formerly connected
with the United States Reclamation
Service in Nevada, and head of sew
eral big irrigation projects in Mexi-
co, left Reno Tuesday for Carson
Valley, says the Gazette, where he
will begin preliminary work in con-
nection with the construction of a
reservoir and dam to be used in the
reclamation of about 35, 900 acres of
land south of Gardnerville.
Taylor says the dam and resar-
~; will cost about $75 900 or $780,
s3t0 and work on it will be started
some time next spring. The land to
be reclaimed is now growing a re-
splendent crop of sagebrush al.
though it is classed with the most
fertile soil in that section of the
state. Land all around it has been
under cultivation and producing big
crops for many years and when the
dam and reservoir are built he be-
lieves his land will be as productive
as that of his neighbors.
Half a dozen prominent ranchers
of Gardnerville district are interest
ed in the land with Taylor. They
plan to form a corporation before
beginning work on the dam and
reservoir and Taylor says they have
ample capital to put the project
through. The water will be taken
from the Carson river and will be
returned to that stream.
Taylor has established an office at
Carson and is a consulting engineer
for several big corporations.

Nevada's recognition as the great
es beef feeding center in the country
is becoming evident, according to
J. M. Fulton, assistant general
freight and passenger traffic mana
ger of the Southern Pacific company
Mr.. Fulton estimates that Is per
cent of the 1000 to 10000 head of
cattle now being fattened in this
state for market at certain feeding
centers have been shipped in from
outside points. The remainder of
the number comes from the Neva-
da ranges.
Colorado, Utah. Montana. Wyom-
ing and even Arizona and Old Mex
leo have contributed beef cattle to
the feed lots this fall, Mr.. Fulton
states. Not only have these distant
localities furnished stock for feed
ing on Nevada hay, but buyers are
even now purchasing expeditions
in outside territory to add to the
herds that are fattening on alfalfa
grown here.
In some cases owners of large
ranches are buying up outside herds

AS soon as L. M. Jacobsen, the
present postmaster, read the report
in the daily press, he hunted up his
successor and extended congratula-
ton. AS yet Postmaster Jacobsen
has received no official notification
of the change and does not know
when he is to step out.
Under the fourth class regula-
tions Mr.. Jacobsen's appointment
extended to 1916. However, the
office was. recently advanced to
third class and a new appointment
was expected by him. Now that a
change is to be made, Mr.. Jacobsen
hopes that he can step out at once.
The Gardnerville office pays $1l0C
per annum, besides $11 per month
for clerk hire and a similar amount
for rent.

How few citizens of this state
know that one time ocean-golng
freighters landed goods at Neva-
da point and supplied most of Utah
with the materials used in the con-
struction of Salt Lake? 1t is a
thousand to one bet that not score
of men in Nevada today recall the
time when the Colorado river was
used as a means of transportation
for bringing supplies to the mining
camps of Nevada and Utah. Two
respectable sized ocean-going YES
sells of over 500 tons each piled be-
tween Fort Colwell, above Eldorado
canyon on the Colorado river, after
using the capstan to surmount rap
ids in Black canyon. These were
the chief carriers of the former
state of Utah, the western part of
which was elected into the state of
Nevada. The steamers were the
Mojave and the Apache. The form
or was commanded by Captain Mill
er, who died only two years ago in
Oakland: The ships were operated
from the forties to as late as 1857,
if not later. But about that time
the railroads extended their steel
tenacles to the Mormon capital and
the water route with its long OK
trains was put out of commission.
The Fort Colwell wharves and ware
house are in evidence today, showing
the faith of the pioneers in the
permanency of the country on the
borders of the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado. Even the stone walls OF
the corrals where they fed their
oxen and kept their sheep, that sup

Nevada is the Greatest Feeding
Section In United States

feeding some of the stock for mar
ket and keeping the remainder to
add to the number of stock cattle
on the radges. In other cases the
big packing companies of California
are shipping in stock from other
parts or the country to be fed here.
Nevada" said Mr.. Fulton, is the
best feeding center in the United
States, and is superior to either Utah
or California both from, a standpoint
of winter climate and feeding value
of hay. Steers put on more weight
for a given outlay here than any
where else. :"
OF the cattle now in the feed lots,
it is estimated that 10000 head are
at Lovelock and the remainder are
divided among the valleys near
Reno, Fallon, Minden. Wabuska and
Honey Lake.
Owing to the fact that cattle are
now being fattened. no shipments OF
importance are occurring lust at
this time. Early in December the
movement of stock to the coast
markets will probably be renewed.

Page of Nevada History
Never Before Embalmed

piled the mutton for the long wagon
hauls, remain today as reminder
of the men who had the nerve to
establish their homes on the out
posts of civilization. The landing
place was scarcely twenty-five miles
from Las Vegas, New, and the
whole eastern end of this state paid
tribute to the energy of the marin
ers who braved the dangers of sea
and mountain for the purpose of
opening up new territory. The
landing place was half a mile west
of the mouth of bouldef Canyon and
the trail through Meadow wash to
Salt Lake was lined with hundreds
of wagons constantly moving to and
fro.
This is a page from the early
history in Nevada that the writer
has never seen embalmed in the
pages of any history, for the reason
that the true history of Nevada has
never been written. All that has
been done in that direction is the
publishing of books filled chiefly
with fulsome praise eff men who
could afford to pay for writeups.
Those who could not buy pages and
cuts were forgotten and their deeds
buried in the greed for gold.
The state historical society has a
great work ahead of it, and it is a
shame that the legislature has never
realized the Importance of the func-
tions of that organization, so that
Nevada may collect the memoirs of
pioneers who still haunt the scenes
made glorious by their early day
triumphs. .-Tonopah Bonanza.
