SURVEYING NEVADA AREAS

Certain valleys of southeastern Ne
vada contin large supply OF ground
water, and a part of this water can
be economically developed for irriga-
ton, according to a report by Everett
Carpenter just issued by the United
States Geological Survey. The loeali-
ties at which ground water has been
found are Indicated and the best
methods of recovering the underground
water at each locality are described.
The report contains also an interesting
account of the geology of the region
and shows that at one time this des
ert country contained large river
and seven large lakes, all of which are
now absolutely dry. The ancient
stream and lakes are described and
shown on maps for the first time III
this report. One of the most valuable
features of the report is guide to
watering places on routes of travel,
supplemented by a map showing roads
and watering places and a table Civ
ing the distances between watering
places The report is published as Wa
ter-Supply Paper 365 and can be OBJ
tanned free of charge by applying to
the Director, United States Geological
Survey Washington, ID. G. A survey
of the ground water in Big Smor-
Valley, New, has recently been made
by the Geological Survey and a prelim-
mary paper on that valley viii be
issued within few months Similar
SURVEYS of other Nevada areas are
being planned.

IDAHO COYOTES DEVELOP
A FIGHTING SPIRIT

1t may be that coyotes are not mad
as a good many people argue, but the
breed that infest this part of the coun-
try are out of the ordinary, as coy
otes, if they are not mad.
When they come to man s house
and tackle anything that shows HE
they have either become imbued with
fighting spirit of the old country or
lost their mental balance that has
heretofore been credited to their an
cestors.
Last Saturday night one, or several,
came to the Orphans home and en-
gagged the dogs in a fight at the foot
of the stairway leading to the sleeping
room of Bill Hunur, and we give Mr..
Hunur credit for showing good Judg-
ment in staying upstairs, even under
the earnest solicitation of the boss to
bring some ammunition down 50 the
beast could be dispatched.

DENIES REPORT THAT ITALY
DENOUNCED TRIPLE ALLIANCE

Rome, May Is, via Paris.-The
"Tribuna in special edition denies
the report that Italy had denounced
the Triple Alliance. 1t explains the
kings decision to entrust to Giuseppe
Marcora the formation of a cabinet,
instead of insisting upon the retention
of Premier Salandra, as being due to
the fact that the Salandra cabinet has
shaped its policy in the direction of
withdrawal from the Triple Alliance,
but had not taken definite action to this
end, wishing first to obtain the support
of Parliament. No pledge of any kind
had been made, the "Tribuna asserts
and the new cabinet will thus have
complete liberty of action.
Riotous demonstrations continued in
Rome during great part of the night.
They increased in intensity when it
became known that, notwithstanding
reports to the contrary, the king had
accepted Premier Salandra s resigna-
ton.
One of the most violent outbreaks
occurred in connection with attempts
of the crowds TO approach the Austrian
embassy A member of the staff of the
Nationalist newspaper "Idea Nation
ale, succeeded in hurting his cane
through window of the embassy,
breaking the glass. He was arrested.
At meeting in Borghes square,
twenty speakers, most of them depu-
ties, made addresses in favor of war.

Judge Seibert Says Su-

Means Reopening of
Ten Bars
HAD BEEN DRY"
SINCE APRIL |
Higher Tribunal Decides There Must Be
"Rehearing' Which Perry Jurist
Asserts Simply Means That the Ten
Applications Must Be Granted

Especial to the Star independently
New Bloomfield, Pa, May 15.--The
whole of Perry county has been dry
for month and a half, but ten of the
sixteen liquor establishments, whose IL
cense applications were not granted at
last, because the court was hopelessly
divided, will reopen for business next
week, probably on Monday.
In these ten cases the State Superior
Court, to which appeals had been ta-
ken, decided that, contrary to the de-
cision of Judge w. n Seibert, of Per-
ry county, the applicants papers were
in proper form and according to law.
The Superior Court sent the cases back
to the county court for rehearing. Judge
Seibert had decided that the applica-
ton papers were defective and for that
reason he would not agree to grant the
applications. His associate, Judge S.
w. Bernheisel, clay" judge, said he
was disposed to grant the licenses.
Judge Seibert said this morning that
if the official reports bear out the news
dispatches that the Superior Court holds
the ten license applications to be regu-
lar, there will be nothing left for him
to do but grant the ten licenses. -.
Only two hotelmen had appealed the
cases to the Superior Court but an un-
