COOPERATIVE TEAM
WORK AMONG FARMRS

The Lyon County Times states that
from all accounts the agricu.turists
of Carson Valley do not intend to 1T
the Churchill farmers get alone the
benefits following cooperative team
work.
Carson Valley farmers have never
had the thought of vieing with other
districts in the mater of cooperation.
More than twenty-five years ago they
launched their first cooperative
industry by the establishment CT the
Douglas County creamery and from
the very beginning Were benefited.
S.hce that time they have built stor-
age reservoirs to aid in irrigation;
have built flour mil to aid In the
marketing OF their grain crops; they
ha established the hay and porduce
company for the same purpose; they
operate their own telephone system:
they have their own banks and have
recently established cooperative
store. AS a matter Of fact, they are
the pioneers in cooperation in Neva-
da. II other Nevada farming COM
munities take cognizance of their sue
cess and put in force varied co-opera-
tive concerns for the betterment of
their interests, it will only please the
farmers Of Carson Valley. They are
prospecting mainly through their own
efforts and also desire to see all
agrlculturists in this state as equally
successful.

DECIDE ON COURSE
TOWARD MEXICO
THE PAN-AMERicAN coNFEREES
AGREE THAT RECOGNITION
SHOULD BE GIVEN MEXICO.
Factions Having Failed Of Agreement,
Recognition Should be Accorded
Party Having Capacity to Pro-
tect Lives and Property.

New York.-Secretary Lansing, rep
resenting the United States govern.
ment, and the diplomatic representa-
tives of Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Bo-
livia, Uruguay and Guatemala resolved
at their meeting here on Saturday,
that the time had come for the exten-
sion of formal recognition to govern
ment in Mexico
Three weeks hence another meeting
of the conference will be held In
Washington, at which a decision is to
be reached as to the elements upon
which recognition should be conferred
A formal statement issued by the
conference declared that inasmuch as
the factions themselves had failed tc
come to an agreement, recognition
would be accorded to the de facto au
thorities possessing the material and
moral capacity necessary to protect
the lives and property Of nationals
and foreigners"
Each of the several governments, II
was announced, would itself Judge
such capacity, and recognition viii
likewise be extended by each govern
ment separately at such time as II
may deem proper"
Unless the military situation IL
Mexico takes a decided turn within
the next three weeks in favor of Gen
eral Villa, who has concentrated hi

gon, the Carranza commander il
chief, at Torreon, most of the confer
ees were Of the opinion that the Cal
rama government would logically b
entitled to recognition.

deavor to learn, however, not onl
what territory each faction controls
but what promise of stability the fa'
tions give that aspire to recognition

CARSON NEEDS WAKING UP

Carson City citizens have engaged
in a spirited controversy over the
paving CT a few blocks of Carson
street.-the main thoroughfare of the
capiaal city. Some of the progressive
element which controls the city
council, voted to tax the prop
erty owners along the street from the
Virginia & Truckee depot to the
block south Of the capitol building
and arranged to borrow the necessary
fluids to carry out the project from
the state.
Certain ones objected and the dis
trict court has been appealed to for
an injunction to block the plans to
make Carson more attractive and
modern town.
One very serious trouble with Car
son City is that it is afflicted with
some of the worst mossbacks in the
state and it never will be real
good town until they are eradicated.
Carson street, at certain times dur
ing the winter months, is sea Of
mud and person almost needs the
services of high top boots to sue
| cessfully negotiate the crossings Con-
| ditions of this kind are a disgrace to
any town, but to think that the
capital of the state is located in a
place where such things are tolerat-
ed makes it doubly SO.
| Carson City needs a waking up If
it were not that the seat of govern
ment of this great commonwealth is
there, Carson City would soon lose
a conspicuous place on the map Of
Nevada and become play ground fol
jackrabbits.. If the citizens of that
town are not ready to show their ap-
preciation of being permitted to retail
the title of capital of this great
state by making permanent improve
ments and taking steps to otherwise
beautify the place. then it is high
time to renew the movement to move
the capital to Winnemucca or some
other city where there are some live
ones. Move the capital and Carson
ties will not need to worry about ex
pending a few dollars for paving.

"Bil|'' Perry

However, such is the case-any-
way he was the whole thing" with

this week and explains why the cir

here last Thursday.

ager. I'VE can't do it. as we are
billed to show at Pioche and Cali
ente and it won't do to cancel any
dates; besides. the expense would
be too great and the elephant is not
used to taking 50-mile hikes"
But see here, replied 'BilP. that
elephant would enjoy the trip; he
needs vacation anyway and besides
there are lot of people at Enter
prise who have never had the pleas
ure of seeing an elephant l am
sure hey'l treat him right over
there and feed him on pine nuts and
all sorts O. things"
Nothing DOING retorted Frank
Adams; we are off for Phoebe right
after the evening performance"
BE reasonable about this thing,
shouted Bill You might as well
make up your mind Adams. that this
show Is mine-for few days." At
this particular moment 'Bilp went
down into fis jeans and pulled forth
roll Of greenbacks and slipped
Adams a hundred Now your out
of it., sail the Modena man, "and
this circus is gong to Enterprise"
Meanwhile, "Bill' harnessed up
his teams; the wagons We're loaded
and the circus caravan started out
across the desert. This is how "BilP'

Land in Nevada can be obtained

their advantages, only compara-

adequate transportation facilities

Nevada has more public land op-
en- to the settler an any other state
in the Union; the state and federal
governments are giving aid to de-
velop the underground waters and
assisting in other ways to reclaim the
sagebrush areas. Nevada has many
advantages not possessed by any 9th
