REMARKS OF CLYDE rAvEwwER|

Realizing the Government was
being overcharged for turbine

cepltion, is the only Secretary of
the Navy that can find any trace
OF who has ever made real fight

armor and ammunition rings
induced an Independent English
firm to submit bid. The Beth
lehem and Midvale companies bid

lively, while the English firm Of
fered to furnish the drums for
$57436, a saving of $1O2,S36 to
the Government over the lowest
bid of the ring.
Recently the Secretary awarded
a contract for the building of 100
torpedo TASKS, including heads.
He induced a new firm to slip in
with a bid. and was able to pur-
chase for S5S,2i6 materials which
under normal conditions would
have cost Sli5,075. The bids
of the Bethlehem and Midvale
companies, under real compete
tive bedding. showed reduction
OF A per cent as compared with
bids for similar forgings snb-
mitted by these companies only
four months previous.
Personally, | believe that these
officers, in the expenditure Of The
peoples money, have been paying
Sll5,075 for supplies which could
have been obtained for S5S,246,
should. somewhere or in some
manner, be required TO make a
public accounting for their acts.
The thing that rifles the blood
concerning the manner in which
the millions have been squander-
ed by our Army and Navy officers
is that this money did not come
form the pockets of the rich but
that it has been wroung from the
poorest of the poor. All of these
wasted millions have been collect
by tax on the things that the
people eat, wear, and use, noe of
it having been collected by direct
taxation, but every cent of it hav-
ing come through the CUSTOM
house and internal-revenue Of
fees which means that the peo-
pie have been paying the cost OF
militarism in the form of in
creased cost Of living
By the most ingenious maneu
vering among the war traf1ickers.
Secretary Daniels has been able
to save some 100000 from the
clutches of the greedy patriots
for profit. But, alas, the war
trust has at last forced him into
a corner, and he is again wholly
at its mercy. TO elucidate, l am
informed that before the out
break of the European war Sec
rotary Daniels sought, by inquiry,
to ascertain from companies in
the ring the price of a certain pro-
jectile. The price Of $500 was
made him. The Secretary then
invited the representatives Of in

BACKYARD POULTRY NOTES

AS the warm weather advances take
extra precaution to provide suitable
shade for the growing chicks.
Small mesh wire can be fastened
over the top of open water pans to
keep the chicks out.
Don't fail to give clean fresh water
at least once a day and oftener If
possible.
Select some of the most promising
pullets and cockerels to exhibit this
season.
Brood coops should be moved fire.
quently to new ground.
Feeding grit and shell in the mash Is
wasteful Have separate boxes for
them.
Meat scraps should be fed sparingly
to young chickens and only at inter
walls.
Grass clippings if dried make suit
able scratching or brooder litter.
Feed the chicks on larger grains as
soon as they are old enough. 1t will
lessen the cost of raising them.
Get the Government and State bull
letins on poultry. They are free.

THE PINENUT
is ONE OF
GREAT PROMISE

The recent strike in the Pineunt
range, nine miles from Carson, of
which there has been considerable
talk the past few days, were visited
recently by D. S. Van Norman,
Humboldt county mining man, now
sojourning in this city, and Captain
A. A. Burke, of the State Police.
Mr., Van Norman says the section
where the discoveries have been made
shows considerable promise and with
development may open up producing
mines. The work so far done has
been mainly on small streaks of quartz
shooting through the dixie from forty
to sixty feet wide. but they carry
heavy values in gold. The dixie itself
is made up of conglomerate, carry
ing an excess OF iron, which should
prove valuable for fuxing purposes,
and small amount of gold. There
is mountain, practically, of the ma
terial and were facilities at hand to
reduce it it would prove a valuable
proposition.-Carson Appeal.
The Pinenut section is only short
distance west of Buckskin.

TAKES PRIDE IN
NEVADA CLIMATE

A correspondent, who asks that her
name be withheld in writing to the
Gazette, says:
why cannot the newspapers OF
Nevada and the Commercial Club OF
Reno exert themselves to make
known to the world, the wonderful
climate that we have here. ! have
resided at different times in San
Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles and
other California cities but never have
| enjoyed such continuous delightful
weather as, particularly, this section
of Nevada is favored with. Is it be-
cause we are selfish. Surely there is
enough of this celebrating atmos-
phere to spare to thousands OF people
who spend large sums OF money each
wear in sercah of what we have here
in abundance"
Commenting on the above, the Ga
zette adds:
"And the lady is right. One of Ne
vada's greatest assets is being unpar-
donably neglected. We boast of our
weauth- producing mines. Then we ad-
NIT the possibility, in the years to
come, of their failing of their pro-
duct lessening. Something may hap
pen to our stock rails ng industry, we
saw: our soil may refuse to yield its
abundance and all the woeful things
that the most doleful pessimist may
conjure up might come to pass, but
Neyada's glorious climate will remain
here until the end of time. No one
can deny that The Great Architect
of the Universe, who did all things
well, bestowed his favors generously
upon Nevada although we are inclined
TO be a trif1e slow in realizing this.
Could we for a moment stand apart
from ourselves and look upon and
comprehend what has been given us,
the magnitude of our great posses
sions would startle us. This is as
serted without indulging in any flight
of fancy. There is an awakening COM
ing for Nevadans and they connot es-
cape it.
"Why should not the world know OF
Nevada's marvellous health giving eli
mate and alsi our other unlimited re-
sources? They were all placed here
for the benefit of mankind. If all these
things were known as extensively as
they should be, Nevada would today

reds of thousands instead OF by the

WESTBOUND TRAVEL HEAVY

Passenger travel on both the South
ern Pacific and the Weston Pacific is
very heavy at present and is increas-
ing daily. The westbound travel is
greater due to the thousands OF
tourists who are going to the world
fair. The Southern Pacific is now
running second sections of most of
its westbound passenger trains, while
all the trains of the Western Pacific
are crowded every day.-Humboldt

UNIVERSITY
GOES INTO THE
WELL BUSINESS

In furtherance of the work OF the
University of Nevada for the benefit
of Nevada ranchers, c. S. Knight,
dean of the University School of Agri-
culture, and Professor ]. G. Scrugham,
head of the engineering department,
will visit Las Vegas this week to look
into the possibility of developing wa
ter in the Las Vegas and Indian
Springs Valleys.
The contour of the valleys is such
that a plentiful supply of water is al
most an assured proposition. The
surrounding hills are heavily timbered
and snow covered. There is no out
let for the streams except through
the gravel strata of the valley.
Experts are OF the opinion that tap
ping these strata will give good flow
of water for irrigating purposes. Sew
eral wells are being sunk and will be
ready for the installation of pumps
about the middle of next week. 1t is
for the purpose OF supervising the in
stallation OF these pumps that Pro-
lessons Knight and Scrugham will Wis
it the valleys. They will be gone
eight or nine days.
AS the valleys have a nine months
growing season the development OF
water in considerable quantities will
be of enormous value to the ranchers
in that section.-Carson Appeal.
