ARMENIAN HORRORS
SURPASS. BELIEF
BY United Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. I1.-An
echo of the slaughter and suffering in
terroT.stricken Armenia was heard to-
day i'll meeting room at the Palace
hotel, when little group of Armen-
ians and sympathizers, gathered to
discuss the present tragic massacre by
Turkish forces.
In the center of the little group lay
a pamphlet 1t was sent out by the as
sociation on Armenian atrocities, and
it contained list of details which
read like n chapter from some impos-
sible night mare. Solemnly the group
heard that there were some 100000
Armenians who had escaped knife and
bullet and made their way into vari-
out portions of Asia, and with equal
solemnity II was decided that an ap-
peal be made to, not only Armenians,
but all charitable citizens that these
mere handful of slaughtered race
may be saved from starvation and DOS
sible massacre.
The meeting was called following re.
ports of the latest horror the mas
sacre of 100000 countrymen. 1t was
the doing of Enver Pasha all the
Pashas," said ArpaXat Setrakian, one
of the heads of the association. Our
people were Christian, and the pashas
have feared they would want a repub-
lie. So they were sent to the front of
armies to be slain and the women and
children sent TO the wilderness and
mountains to slowly die. And those
that did not flee were butchered. None
has escaped from Europe and reports
have been only shadow of real ter
rors"

.RECLAIMS TWO THIRDS
OF HUMBOLDT LAKE

The Churchill County Eagle publish
es the following in regard to the new
canal through the hogsback that
makes Humboldt lake:
II. G. Taylor left Fallon Tuesday
with supplies TO engage in the build
ing of the concrete dam on the slough
three miles below the old quartz mill
near Ocalo. in the north end of
Churchill county.
1t will be remembered that the liti.
CATION over the daming of that slough
by Taylor and Boman was adjusted
out Of court, the farmers of the lower
Lovelock valley agreeing TO cut a
canal through the "hogback" to drain
the Humboldt Lake while Taylor
and Bosnian were TO construct a dam
some three miles further down the
slough. that flows from the Humboldt
to CarSon sink.
The farmers were to have complet-
ed the canal through the "hogback"
the first of this week, large dredge
being employed in the work. This
new canal VIII drain Humboldt Lake
to about one-third of its former size
and relieve large tracts of land from
the overflow which has submerged
them the past year or two. This
will materially improve the condition
of great deal of land held over there
by Fallon residents under the desert
land law.
In the meantime Taylor and Boman
will construct a concrete dam 40 feet
long and 16 feet high, which will
not only enable them to divert the
waters of the slough to land they are
reclaiming, but will also form reser.
voir. as the water will be backed up
the slough from two and one-half to
three miles. Putting the dam three
miles further down the slough enab
les the farmers to drain their land
and does not in any way interfere
with the reclamation plans of Messrs.
Taylor and Boman.

MAY BUILD RAILROAD
FROM EUREKA TO ELKO
This Is Solution offered To Break
Deadlock Between Mining Com
pany ands Narrow Guage

There seems to be quite a plausible
scheme on foot over in Eureka to
connect that camp with Elko by rail.
road. The project is backed by the
Richmond Mining company which for
years has been deadlocked with the
Eureka & Palisade railroad.
This railroad if built by way of
Mineral Hill. Union and Bullion would
develop an immense amount of ton
mage that now is hauled by wagon to
meet the marrow guage.
This talk may be only a bluff to
bring the slim Princess" to terms.
but those who know the management
of the narrow guage say they can't be
bluffed.
At any rate 1t would be a good
thing for Elko and the intermediate
country to have this new railroad built.
The Austin Reville had the follow
ing to say on the subject:
Tsadora Sara, one of the large ranch
and stock men of Eureka county. was
in Austin over Sunday. He was
looking for possible purchases of live.
stock. but when seen Monday by a
Reveille man, confessed he had not
been able to close any Lander county
deals. While rancher and stock
man from the top of his sombrero to
to his spurs, Sara takes an interest in
the prosperity of all lines Of business
in his county.
He keeps close tab on the mining
developments at Eureka and says
that there will soon be a break in the
deadlock between the big Richmond
Mining Company and the Eureka
Paligade railroad. He believes II
will come through the building Of a
new railroad from Eureka to Elko by
the mining company. This new road
he says, will add immeasurably to
the wealth of Eureka county and put
Eureka forever out of the Ghost city
class.

SYDNEY IRELAND
IN TOLLS OF LAW

Sydney Ireland faces serious
charge in the justice court. He was
arraigned yesterday before Judge
Castle on complaint of A. c. Dorsey
that Ireland had burglarized his room
in the Elko Hotel. His bond was fixed
AT $4,000 and his case comes up for
preliminary examination at 2 O'Clock
tomorrow afternoon.
According to Dorsey's story he was
asleep in room 33 at the Elko hotel
yesterday afternoon at l o'clock when
he was awakened by some one search
ing his room. He saw Ireland going
through his trousers pockets and call
ed to him.
Look out or you'll find something"
Sure enough. according to Dorsey.
Ireland found fifty dollars in the
clothes and made away with it. Ire
land was later arrested on the street
by Officer McMullen.
No money was found on Ireland
when taken into custody. He has been
a miner out at Bullion and is a we'll
known cowboy in this county.

SUIT BROUGHT TO
TEST WATER LAW

An action was filed in the Federal
court at Carson Wednesday which
attacks the coDstitutionality of the
statute passed at the last session of
the legislature, amending the water
law of 1913 and seeks to have the
state engineer perpetually enjoined
from making any adjudication or de-
termination of any water rights which
were initiated and perfected, and
thereby became vested property
right prior to the approval of the
1913 statute, which was March %,
1913.
The plaintiffs in the case are w. c..
Bergman and H. B. Alfrce and the
John G. Taylor company, incorpo-
rated, and the defendant is w. NJ.
Kearney, State Engineer. The plain
tiffs attorneys are Cheney, Downer,
Price & Hawkins of Reno.
Object of the Suit.
Attorney trince A. Hawkins, who
filed the complaint and will direct the
case for the plaintiffs, said:
Our contention is that the act Of
1913, giving the state engineer pow
er to adjust and determine the title
to water rights on the Humboldt river
and its tributaries, is in violation of
the fourteenth amendment to the
federal constitution and in violation
of several provisions of the state con-
stitution, particularly those in refer
ence to due process of law and uni
formity of court procedure. We also
contend that the district courts of
the state have original jurisdiction to
hear and determine the questions in
volved while under the statute COM
planned of the state engineer will
determine all question of fact and of
law establishing the titles just the
same as court would determine them
II suit to determine them was
brought in any court, thereby divest-
ing the district courts of original juris-
diction and making of them appellate
courts, thereby denying the right to
appeal because under the Nevada con-
stitution where a district court has ap.
pellate jurisdiction it Is final and no
appeal lies to the supreme court; that
under the act in question there Is no
provision whereby District Courts
may take or hear testimony; that
there Is no provision for the cross ex-
animation Of any claimant or witness
who may give evidence to establish
or impair any vested right to the use
of water
Another contention In the COM
plant is that the act does not con-
template adjudication by the state
engineer Of any rights which have
been acquired prior to 1913, as Is evil
denced by Section 81 of the act
"The complaint also raises the con.
tention that the part Of the statute
declaring that the state owns the
water from all sources of water sup.
ply in the state is invalid and that
the federal government and not the
state owns all the unappropriated
water just as II owns all unappropri.
ated public lands"
