Quail Season
Opens Weeks
Too Soon

The Nevada game laws were con-
siderably changed at the last session,
of the legislature and among the
changes is the opening season for
shooting quail Formerly the season
opened on October 1st but this year
the season opened on the 18th of Sep
tember. Sportsmen who hunt for the
love of the sport complain bitterly at
this change, declaring that quil are
too young at the time the law desig-
mats the opening of the sason. The
law as it now stands, is probably all
right in the southern section of Ne
vada where the birds nest earlier than
they do here. The quail that were
hatched this season are far too small
to be shot at on the 18th of September
and as "A matter of fact. il is claimed
that the season should really not open
until October 18th in this section of
Nevada Many hunters, of course,
would not kill the young birds but
then again there are those who will
slaughter young ones. Gun clubs
should unite in an effort to have the
present law governing the opening
season for hunting quail repealed.

CARSON RIVER
|SVERY LOW

The storage water In the East Fork
farmers reservoirs has heen exhausted
and the flow in the river is now at its
lowest mark and very little irrigation
can be done. However, there is
enough for all immediate purposes as
the grain crops have been cut, the Sec
ond crop of alfalfa is practically all
stacked or cut, and the third crop has
been watere sufficiently No loss will
be caused by the present shortage,
as the irrigating season of 1915 is
passed
The flow of the Carson river was
used to better advantage this season
than ever before and hundreds of
acres of new land produced crops for
the first time this season. Ten years
ago IL was claimed that the
cultivation had reached the limit al
lowed by the flow of the Carson river
Figures are not at hand but it is safe
ly estimated that nearlythree thous-
and acres of land have been placed
under water since that date, while the
flow of the river remains the same.
However, greater knowledge in the
use of water has been gained and II Is
no longer question of how much
water can be run over the land but
how little can be used to produce the
best crops. Too much water is just
as bad as not enough and the farmers
through years of experience, have
learned the happy medium between
the two danger points.
ANY further development of the
agricultural interests of Carson Val
ley depends upon one of two things.
Either assistance from the govern
ment In the erection of storage reser-
yoirs at the watersheds of the Carson
river or through an agreement where
by the farmers themselves many Sc
cure the right to store the flood
waters In reservoirs built and main
tained by themselves and at their ex-
pense. Until that time arrives only
very small tracts of land can be
brought under cultivation.

out having achieved any gain, and summing
up, the day ended with success along the
whole line, despite the desperate nature of
the struggle, and we took some prisoners,
including several officers. The battleship
"Saint Louis" effectively bombarded the
batteries on the Asiatic side, and at our left
the British troops gave US efficacious sup
port. Everything confirms that the losses
of the enemy were very heavy. The import
ant point is, that we have occupied ground
which commands the head of the ravine of
Kerevesdere, which the Turks have defended
with the utmost determination for several
months.
An Austrian official statement says: "The
northwest and west fronts of Lemberg, on a
line from Zolkiew to Mikolajow, were strong
ly occupied by the Russian defensive forces.
On Tuesday morning the Vienna Landwehr
stormed the Rzezna works, on the road from
Janew to Lemberg, and from the northwest
simultaneously our troops advanced across
a height east of the Mlynewka rivulet
and stormed several bulwarks before the
Lysagora height. During the afternoon
while advancing further in the direction of
the town, the remaining works of the north
west forts were captured after sanguinary
fighting, in which the Russian front was
again broken, the enemy suffering heavy
losses and being forced to retreat. Our
troops are pursuing the Russians across the
heights east and northeast of the town and
have crossed south of the Lemberg road to
Mikolajow. Amid demonstrations of Joy by
the population General Won Boehm Ermolli
entered Lemberg in the afternoon with the
Second Army. Near Zolkiew and Rawa
Ruska the Russians are retreating and iso-
lated Russian attacks on the Tanew river
have been repulsed. On Wednesday night
the Russians began a further retreat between
the San and the Vistula rivers and in the
billy district of Kielce and are everywhere
being pursued by the allies.
