new COMPANY TO
ADVERTISE NEVADA

The recent visit of President
Sproule to Nevada gave wide public
ity to the states resources, in view of
the fact that President Sproule highly
recommended and especially mention
ed the many and varied opportunities
open to the settler in Nevada. As
will be read elsewhere in this issue
cifc company, through the direction
of President Sproule, has created a
Nevada publicity bureau that will
direct its energies to the settling up
of Nevada and calling attention to
the countless undeveloped resources
awaiting the settler who is seeking a
permanent home.
Along these same publicity lines
there was filed yesterday with County
Clerk Davey the incorporation papers
creating the Nevada Land and Live
Stock company, whose purpose will
be the purchase and sale of Nevada,
Oregon and Idaho lands. The com
pany will advertise the state of Ne
vada as it has never been advertised
before. The plain, unvarnished facts
as to location, soils, markets, price of
products, cost of production, ETC., will
be set fortb-no "blue sky' argu-
ments will be used to induce settlers
to locate in Nevada-they will be told
just what we have to offer, just what
the intending locator will have to con-
tend with. That workers are requir-
ed in order to succeed, and that with
proper application success is certain.
The formation of this company
means much in other directions than
the land feature. The incorporators
exercised their usual caution in Civ
ing out what the objects of the COM
pany were to be, but information OBJ
tanned elsewhere points strongly to
!" something doing" in this portion of
the state this coming season.
The incorporators of the company
are f. R. Place, E. Reinhart and H.
Warren, all of Wnnemucca. Al
though the capital stock is placed at
$500,000, there will be none, for sale,
as the promoters of the company, in
addition to the incorporators, are all
welliknown capitalists of San Fran
cisco, Sacramento and Boise, and will
supply all the money needed for oper-
ations.

BENEFITS CONFERRED
BY AUTOMOBILES

The probable benefits that will re-
suit from the increased use of auto
mobiles and autotrucks may be sum-
med up as follows: First, with the
universal construction of smooth and
non absorbent roads and the use of
oil instead of water for sprinkling, the
quantity of dust in the air will be re-
duced. AS a consequence, a number
of diseases which are frequently
transmitted by dust will be decreased
and storm waters will be more easily
cared for; second, the horse will
gradually disappear from our streets.
With it the number of house flies and
stable flies will be diminished; human
lives will be saved and much added 10
health and comfort. Contact infee-
tions of those engaged in the care of
horses will also become rare. At the
same time, out-of-door life and en-
joyment will be encouraged, and thus
further contribution to the better
ment of human conditions brought
about.-Popular Science Monthly.

DECISION IN COP.
PER CANYON SUIT

Decisions covering both of the
suits of William Lamont as liquida-
tor of the Glasgow Western Explora-
tion corporation versus Guy Davis, j..
J. Healey and Murray Scott and
against Guy Davis, Noah Foubert,
Bert Williams, Henry Sheehe and r.
M. Hopkins have been handed down
by Judge Harrington in the Federal
Court at Carson City.
In the case covering the ownership
to tn ground covered by the corpor-
alton s location Of the Salt Lake No.
3 claim N suit No. I and that of the
ownership of the Evening Star and
Midas the court held that they were
valid lode discoveries, and that ap-
parently 500 worth of work appeared
to have been performed for the year
1913.
While from appearances the cor
poration seems to have. won a COM
plete victory, a close observer of
the boundary lines of the Evening
Star and Midas shows that Davis,
Foubert, ct al, secure about 225 feet
between the company's claims and
that Davis Healey, ct al, are awarded
strip of practically the same width
along the side of the Salt Lake
claim.
The court further orders that each
party shall pay their own costs and
have twenty days within which to
take such steps as may be advised.

NO MORE ABSINTHt IN
NEVADA AFTER june FIRST

s. C.. Dinsmore. head of the state
food and drugs department, yesterday
issued the following order, prohibit
ing the sale of absinthe after June L:
Section 4 paragraph 5 of the Neva-
da Food and Drugs act reads: Food
shall be deemed to be adulterated
within the meaning of this act if it
contains any added poisonous or 9th
er added deleterious Ingredient -
The beverage commonly known as alb
sinthe, is q manufactured product
containing wormwood, br absinth
(Artemsia absinthium) an added de-
leterious ingredient and injurious
to the health of the people. Therefore,
on and after June l, 1914, the sale of
absinthe in this state is prohibited
and any of the product found on the
market after that date will be con
fiscated and destroyed.
Another order of the state depart
ment is about to be issued, it is an.
nounced, enforcing the marketing Of
flour that has been bleaehed as
bleaehed flour. The bleaching, he
saws, is accomplished by means of
nitrous oxide, a small part of the gas
remaining in the flour. Dinsmore
says that the quality or the flour ls
not improved by bleaching and the
gas is declared to be poisonous. Re-
emily. however, Federal decision
was to the effect that the sale OF
bleached flour could not be prevented
under the Federal law because OF the
words in the statute (Which shall
render said food injurious to health
Absolute proof that the nitrous oxide
in the quantity remaining in the flour
would be dangerous to health is very
difficult, Dinsmore says. The state
law does not contain the words ap.
pearing in the Federal statute, hence
the order for Labelling the sacks OF
bleached flour, all Of which are said
to be imported. Dinsmore is inform
ed that steps are being taken tc
amend the national law so as to make
it unnecessary to prove injury tt
health before barring the sale Of

PARADISE VALLEY
WATER STORAGE

+. c. Mcclellan returned Monday
from a weeks trip to Paradise Val
ley, where he has been investigating
chances for water storage and a wa
ter system for conservation and use in
irrigation of more land. He reports
that he found three fine reservoir
sites on the Little Humboldt of sufi-
eient capacity for storage of all the
surplus waters flowing there, and that
plan can be laid out that will very
likely double the irrigated area in a
few years.
By means of these storage reser-
voirs, and a canal on the north side
of the Little Humboldt, taken out a
mile above the site of the flour mill
there, water from that stream can be
carried into Paradise Valley three
miles north of its mouth. This would
enable the use OF water from that
stream upon lands that now are wa
tered from Martin, Cottonwood and
Indian creeks, and allow the waters
from those streams to be used upon
more lands above that canal line.
One point the investigation brought
out is the fact that there should be
a greater use of the early spring wa
ters upon lands as close to the foot
of the mountains as possible. This
would mean the irrigating of sage
brush lands for pasture by such flow,
and before the regular irrigation sea-
son commences. BY placing the wa
ter into the ground early in the
spring, :. retards its flow to the low
er levels, acting as a storage, and it
will be flowing out from underneath
later in the season, when needed for
use below, which would give a use of
part of the water twice in the season.
At the present time considerable
early spring water is used in this
way, but not enough to do very much
god, and what is needed is a high
line canal and system, by means Of
which all the water that flows from
the mountains in ordinary years, be-
fore the regular irrigation season
commences can be utilized in that
way. Then a system of storage res
ervoirs and better means of convey
ing tn ewater upon the lands during
the irrigation seasons will develop
the valley. In time, lands that are
wet by the early spring water will be
utilized for dry farming, very likely.

Miss Mabel Vernon, state organizer
for the Nevada Equal Franchise So

few days, to confer with local suff-

big, nation wide celebration of Wom-
ems Independence day on May I'd.
She will hold open air meetings in
each town she visits on this trip
through the northern counties of the
state.
Beginning at Wells, about April
25th, Miss Vernon will stop at Ely,
Elko, Eureka, Battle Mountain, Col
conda. Winnemueca and Lovelock.
Miss Vernon has just concluded a very
successful trip through the southern
counties and local suffragists and the
press send in very flattering reports
of her work. We quote a few:
