EAST WALKER LANDS
SOON TO BE THROWN
OPEN TO SETTLEMENT

A circular letter received from the
terday imparts the information that at
9 O'Clock on October 7, 1914, the land
ambraced in Carey Act withdi avail list
No. A, Serial 0677o will be open to
settlement with view to entry under
the homestead or desert land laws,
and that at 9 o'clock on November a,
1914, the land will be open to other
forms of entry. selection and disposal.
The land covered by the Carey Act
segregation list No A is excluded
from the above list This land lies
south of Yerington and is tributary
to the East Walker river Some time
ago Messrs. Pollard, Costigan and
Conway made application for some
64,000 acres of this land and started
a project to dam the river and reclaim
the land by furnishing water for it
from stored water. This was to be
carried on under the Carey Act. The
above indicates that great portion
of the land has been excluded from
the project-in fact, the corporation
has been allowed by the government
$4,000 acres of land, and the balance
of the 64000 acres applied for will
be thrown open to settlement under
the homestead and desert entry laws.
The project of Messrs. Pollard Cos
tigan and Conway will proceed, it is
stated, and the $4,000 acres they have
been allowed will be subject to their
disposal. We are not informed as to
just which section or parcels of land
have been withdrawn from the pro
ject nor which the project promoters
hold, but this information can, doubt
less, be had by those interested on
application to Land Register Shober

FARM FACTS.

The need of the rural communities
today is intelligent and consecrated
leadership,
The farmer asks no special priv
ileges. The business of farming only
wants the same opportunities afford
ed other lines of industry.
1t is as much the duty of the coun-
try pastor to exhort us to own home
while on earth as it is to inspire us
to build a mansion in the skies.
The rural press, the pulpit and the
school are a trinity of powerful in
fluences that the farmer must utilize
to their fullest capacity before he can
occupy a commanding position i'll pub
lie affairs.

BROOKS CASE MAY BE
ONE OF MURDER IN
STEAD OF SUICIDE.

Last week the Times contained an
account of the supposed suicide of Ed
Brooks, in Smith Valley. Since the
writing of that account there are grave
rumors to the effect that the tragedy
may have been murder instead of a
suicide. At any rate there seems to be
considerable mystery about the mat
ter, and the case will probably be
looked into more fully There are cir
cumstances which would lead to the
belief that Brooks did not kill him
self There was not powder mark
upon the side of his head where the
bullet entered, which could hardly
have been the case had the muzzle of
the gun been placed against his head
by himself. There was not particle
Of blood on his clothing and he had
on a clean pair of overalls and jump
er which had no dirt on them. Other
circumstances are related which
strengthen the belief in the minds Of
many that there was foul play. Brooks
and his wife had trouble over another
man, to whom she is said to have
shown too much attention to suit the
husband. Brooks and his wife lived
on the ranch owned by his wife and
her brother and the relations between
the men folks are said to have been
strained. Furthermore, young Brooks
was of a cheerful disposition under
all circumstances and his friends and
acquaintance believe that suicide
would have been fartherest from his
thoughts in any trouble he might have
been trying to get out of

LOAN FUND READY.

The country wide effort to
furnish aid 10 cotton producers
and find a bottom for the cotton
market came to a successful con-
clusion Wednesday when Secre-
tarv of the Treasury McAdoo an
nounced the completion Of the
1885, 100000 cotton loan fund. In
making his announcement Mr.. Me
Adoo declared the success of the
plan was now assured.
The secretary's statement came
at the end of q day devoted 10
efforts TO secure the subscrip-
tions necessary 10 complete the
800, 100000 portion of the fund
assigned to banks in non-cotton
producing states.
The carrying out of this plan is
going TO be beneficial, not only
in helping the cotton situation
but also by promoting the gener-
al prosperity Of the country,
which now has such happy i'm
pulse that it would be difficult
TO retard it.
Speaking of the matter Mr.
McAdoo said: THE success Of
this plan at no time has been in
doubt, but its completion has
been delayed by the selfish oppo-
sition of certain textile manufac-
tnrers and local interests, who
have tried to defeat il. | am
happy TO say, for the sake OF
the country as we'll as for them
selves, that they have been un-
successful.
