COMMENTS
ON WATER LAW

Chief Justice Talbot's opinion in the
case involving the Nevada water law
passed by the legislature clears up the
situation materially, according to
Prince A. Hawkins, who received a
copy of the opinion last night, says
the Gazette. Justice Talbot had al
ready concurred in the orders Of JUS
tice Norcross and his opinion takes
similar views to those of Justice Nc
Cafran ON the points as to which
doubt was expressed, Mr.. Hawkins
says.
"Tn effect" said Mr.. Hawkins,
"the opinion means that owners Of
vested water rights are not required
to make statement of their claims
to the state engineer and will not lose
any of their rights by not so doing.
The injunction issued by Judge
Ducker, of Winnemucca, is ordered
modified, but is left in such shape
that it prevents the state engineer
from making any determination Of
water rights which would impair vest
ell rights, and this was all that We
asked.
Hawkins represented Johannes An
derson and 81 others in an attack on
the adjudication of water rights in
the Humboldt river at Lovelock by
the state engineer under the state law
which gave the state engineer the fin-
al word unless an appeal was taken
within six months. Appeal, however,
was practically prohibited by the
stringent regulation governing the ap
peal, according to Hawkins conten-
tion.
Judge Talbot declares the state law
to be unconstitutional in giving the
state engineer power to adjudicate
water rights, saying that If he could
adjudicate water rights he could ad-
Indicate mining or other property
rights. His decision says that the
state engineer must recognize court
orders, which he had previously held
the law did not require him to do.
The decision says that the constitution
does not provide for appeal to any
ed in the constitution, meaning that
there could be no method of appeal to
La court from the state engineers ad-
judication.
1t is concluded that the state engi-
neer may take evidence and determine
water rights for administrative pur-
not binding as final adjudications
even if no appeal is taken, but as to
allowing, restricting and regulating
the use of water under vested rights
the question is left open and IL il
suggested that counsel present their
views in a petition for rehearing.
There were 905 water users on the
Humboldt river nine years ago, Haw-
kins says, and the result would be an
expense of. thousands of dollars to ap-
peal from the state engineers decis-
ion had the court upheld the constitu-
| tionality of the water law.

SHORTAGE OF CARBONS
WILL NOT AFFECT ELY

From a recent article in the Salt
Lake Herald it would appear that
most of the Salt Lake picture show
houses would have to close in a few
weeks, owing to the shortage in the
soft-core carbons used in the ] amp
house for producing moving pictures,
says the Ely Exopsitor. These car
bons, it is reported, are only manu-
factured in Germany and from the
latest reports received from the east
the supply is very short
Fortunately for the Ely theater the
management put in a supply of these
carbons some time ago that will last
them for more than year which, un-
der the most strenuous circumstances,
ought to be sufficient.
This carbon shortage is an example
of what new fields in manufacture
will be forced on this country by the
war in Europe.

That the war in Europe may have
the effect of restoring the Fallon
sugar factory to activity and that it
has already relieved the stringency in
the affairs of the company through the
rise in sugar prices is stated by C. E.
Bingham, merchant of Fallon, who is
in Reno today, accompanied by his
small son, says last night 3 Gazette.
"As result of the sharp upward
trend of prices during the last week
the receivership will no doubt be very
successful Mr.. Bingham said.
Should the German sugar industry
be affected to any extent, undoubted-
ly capital will be found to put the
sugar factory on sound basis, and
from the present outlook it is not at
all unlikely that the factory may
again in operation next season. The
rise in sugar has made 100000 for the
company on account of the reserve on
hand. 1t will greatly stimulate buy
ing"
Strong hopes are felt at Fallon that
the new land unit may be thrown open
during the Truckee- Carson fair, Mr..
Bingham says. These hopes are null
tiplied through the passage of the
20-year homestead payment measure
in congress.

RESUMPTION OF
SMELLING IN MEXICO

A matter of Importance to the met
allurigieal industry is the reported re
sumption of smelling operations by
the American Smelling and Refining
company at Chihuahua and other points
in Mexico. 1t will be recalled that the
company closed all of its plants in
Mexico as a result of the revolution
AIRY conditions and the consequent dis
turbance in transportation and othe'
facilities for carrying on its business
Recently however, the company hs.
been ordering members of its teehni
cal staff to return to the smeltir'
plants, and it is the intention to re
sumo operations as rapidly as eondi
tions will permit The Chihuahu"
plant probably will be the first to be
blown in, as it lies in northern terri
tory and is less subject to disturb
ance. This will be followed by Mon
terey and Velardena, but the plant at
Aqua Calientes may not be opened
for some time.-Metallurig and

PREDICTS GOOD
Times FOR STATE

George Wingfeld, who returned this
morning from the coast, states that
conditions there are undisturbed and
that there is no vestige of excitement.
In conversation with bankers and
smelter men, as well as with financiers
in other lines, he learned that a san
guine feeling with respect to the fu-
ture value of the white metal pre-
walls.
"All Nevada producers are in ex-
cellent strategic position he said,
with respect to present and future
markets and there is no reason why
the producers of silver should feel
alarm. The owners of gold mines are
in an especially good position. The
properties with which / am concerned
are in excellent shape.
"Goldfield Consolidated will con-
tinue to turn out from 100000 to
$3.50, 900 a month. Buckhorn is put
ting out $4,000 a month and Aurora
may be depended on for $4,000 a
month, all in gold, while Nevada Hills
has a gold content of from 30 to 35
per cent in its total output of $40, 900
a month, which makes q total for
these properties alone of about &c.
100000 year in gold.
"There is general impression in
San francisco that business conditions
on the coast, as well as throughout
the United States, will shortly great
ly improve. / believe this forecast to
be correct and, for one, ] am not
over the prospect but feel
that we are on the verge of a huge
financial and commercial revival, such
as would not have occurred if this de
plorable war had not plunged all
Europe into misery. Reno Gazette.

IN RELATION TO j. CAESAR,
ROAD BUILDER


When Caesar took an eastward ride
and grabbed the Gauls of Rome,
What was the first thing that he did
to make them feel at homef
Did he increase the peoples loads
and liberty forbidf
No; he dug in and built good roads
tha's what old Caesar did.
Did Caesar put the iron heel upon
the foreman's breast,
Or did he try to make them feel
that Roman rule was best?
What did he do to make them glad
he came their lands amidf
He built good roads instead of bad
that y what old Caesar did.
He built good roads from hin to
hill; good roads from vale to vale.
He ran a good roads movement till
old Rome got all the kale.
He told the folks to buy at home,
built roads their ruts to rid,
Until all roads led up to Rome
that IS what old Caesar did
If any town would make itself the
center of the map,
Where folks will come and settle
down and live in Plenty's lap.
If any town its own abodes of pow
erty would rid,
Let it go out and build good roads
just like old Caesar did

So far as this end of the county is
concerned, there is probably no one
who wishes to hold Lovelock in Hum
boldt If it wishes a county of it's own.
While there is much of truth and
sense contained in the above article.
the reference to Winnemucca violat-
ing it's pledge to give Lovelock legis-
sative representation two years ago
is simply childish prattle. Winnemue-
ca did nothing of the sort. 1t was
the result of the direct primary hum
bug that all five assemblymen were
elected from this town. Under the
old convention system, Lovelock and
other parts of the county were given
their fair representation, at least by
the Republicans, in both legislative
and county candidates.

OPPOSES COUNTY
DIVISION NOW

The time has come when every vot-
er in the south end of Humboldt coun-
ty, at least, should come out and de-
clare himself for OF against county
division at this time. As an abstract
proposition the Review Miner is un
qualifedly FOR county division. 1t
would result in the doubling of our
populations; the identifying of our
town; the subdivision of the holdings
in the valley and the infusion Of new
blood into the community. The coun-
ty is too big and unwieldy as it is
and il is hardship and an injustice
to require us to travel the distance
we do to the county seat Then, too
we are entitled to some benefits from
the money we spend. Not a dollar of
the taxes sent to Winnemucca is de
posted in our banks, and not a dol
lar more than is actually necessary
is expended in this end for our bene

cans, and even with and absolute
pledge to us of our share of the legis-
lative ticket two years ago Winnie
mucca broke faith and elected ivs
from there. The county should be
divided. BUT should we attmept il
nowi We are just as firmly opposed
to attempting it at this time as we
are firm in the belief that it should
come AT THE RIGHT TIME. AT
present the expenses of government
are enormous; the taxpayer is squirm
ing under the load he is bearing and
very naturally he will oppose any
thing which will increase his burden
whether he lives in the south end OF
the county or the north end. In other
words, we cannot on the vote of the
element in the Lovelocl
valley alone and with the hopeless
with which we enter the
fight the result is certain and a repeti
tion of the fiasco of two years ago il
sure. And not only that, but we fee
justified in stating that it is fore
gone conclusion that if we make
fight at this time for county division
we win not only be defeated, but the
team from Winnemucca will travel
down to Carson and present us with
100000 bill for a new courthouse at
Winnemucca for our pains.
