TAKE DELIGHT IN SMUGGLING
Women Are the Worst Offenders
Against the Government in
This Respect.

Are women less honest than men?
The customs officials are perhaps bet
ter qualified to answer that question
than anyone else They deal with
hundreds of women in a matter that
tests the honesty of everyone. And
they say not infrequently. women are
liarsi"
why, you ought to hear some OF
the things that men declare" said
one of them. "A college professor de-
clared that he got his shoes half-soled
in Paris for rs cents, and mother man
declared gold tooth! / told him that
no one would know the difference il
he'd keep his mouth shut
But womenl One OF them looked
me right in the eye and Iwore that she
didn't bring thing and then found
bunch of aigrettes in her trunk An
other had 20 ards of real lace hidden
do you know where? in hot water
bottle. And when | told her to come
across she said, sassylike, Well you've
got me this time. 1T d. you. I've
'ooleu you many times before!'"
Nine times out of ten feminine
friends of the woman who smuggles
listen to the tale of "bluffing the gov
ernment" with admiration. yet If any
one should openly ac use such a wom-
an of being thief she would grow
furious with indignation. She would
insist that she did not steal She was
only bringing back with her what she
had paid good money for, she would
say, and she didn't intend to pay twice.
She has o deep respect for. no un-
shakable faith in the law. as men
have. who accept it W .hout question
ing. That Is why men seldom snug
gle. while women do 1t continually.
Then, too women do 1t because they
see in 1t an element of sport. Men
will take chances where great risk is
involved. They will stake their all on
a business venture. But thing like
cheating the government out of a few
dollars is too small too petty. for
them to consider worth while.

NOTES OF INTEREST
FROM FOREST RESERVES

Observations at the Utah Expert
ment Station show that aspen sprouts
from good stumps attain a maximum
height growth during the summer sea-
son of over one-half inch per day.
Nine hundred coyote pelts were sub
mitted to the Lincoln County Wool
Growers association, at its recent
meeting, for the bounty of $3.50 each,
offered by the association.
Sand grass, white sage, button (or
apple) sage, and salt sage, or shad
scale, are the pricipal forage plants
of Nevada desert winter ranges. The
past winter has been very favorable
for desert ranging there having been
adequate but not too much snow. In
Idaho the growing practice for ten
years is to feed the sheep hay prinei-
pally alfalfa, for 90 days This costs
upwards of half a dollar a head.
The forest service has just complet-
ed an estimate of the timber, of the
Teton forest, adjoining the Yellow
stone park on the south, and finds that
it contains sufficient spruce, fir and
pine timber suitable for wood pulp to
supply a mill of $50 tons a day capa-
city. Power for such a mill can be
supplied by Pine of Painey Creek,
tributaries of the Snake river, and
the Snake river will transport the bolts
of wood from forest to mill.
Sufficient ties were cut from the
Wasateh forest from July to January
to amount at s cents apiece stumpage
to $4,000, more than is required to ad-
minister the entire forest for twelve
months.
Examination last summer of remole
parts of the Salmon and Challis for
ests is resulting in more complete util-
ization. A stockman of Mountain
Home has been granted permit for
10000 sheep on the Salmon, and other
stoekmen will be shown over at pre-
ent unused ranges as soon as snow
conditions permit.
The Emmett-Payette national forest
wool growers association at its recent
annual meeting decided to use the ro-
tation or deferred system of grazing
the coming season in handling their
bands of sheep on the Payette forest
ranges. This means that the forage
on a different portion of each allot-
ment viii be allowed to mature and
disseminate its seed each year before
being grazed thus assuring reseeding
of the entire area at least once dur
ing every three to five years.

GoLDE CIRcL MINING MAN
VISITS wINNEMUCCA

George w. Seay, one of the founders
OF the camp of Gold Circle stopped
over in Elko yesterday at the Com
mercial hotel, en- route to his home IN
Los Angeles. Mr. Seay made the trip
from Ogden especially to attend the
Christian Science services in Elko and
proceeded to Winnemucca last night,
where he will remain for a few days.
That there will be a substantial
measure of renewed activity in Gold
Circle this spring and summer is Mr..
Seay's belief. He says that bids have
already been advertised for the con-
struction of a mill to handle the ores
of that district and that there is an
indication that outside capital will in
terest itself in further development Of
the camp.
Mr.. Seay is now engaged in the real
estate business and spends much of
each year in Alaska. Mr.. Seay mani
tested keen interest in Elko's develop
ment and noted the progressive atmos-
phere of this community.-Free Press.

TO A DEPARTED FRIEND

A sad blow has been dealt the news
paper and other printing offices IN
New York state. A cruel legislature,
bent on imposing the principles of hy
giene and disregarding entirely custom
and comfort, has banished the printing
Office towel, famed in song and story,
and in its stead has commanded the
use of the unsympathetic paper towel.
A wall accompanied the departure
OF the tried and trusted friend, as
many an old time printer gingerly held
the printing office towel between his
fingers and escorted it upon its last
trip-to the ash can. No doubt there
were many who gladly have deposited
1t under a glass case and kept it there
as a relic of bygone and more com
Portable DAYS. Perhaps some of them
did just that and will weep over it as
the occasion demands or the spirit
moves them.
Not alone for itself, for its comfort
and utility was the printing office
towel held in high esteem, but also be-
cause of the fact that its mutual use
established the bonds of friendship
among men. Think of the fond words
that have been spoken over the ritual
one end, Tom rubbed his face with
il deftly twisted about mis- finger,
scraped some of the ubiquitous ink
from the corner of his eyel
Those days have passed. The paper
towel is unsympathetic and invites no
condolences. Its craekle is unmelodi-
Gus. You cannot sigh into it after a
ha rH "a
with longing toward the time when
next you will use it. You dom You
throw it away and it has gone out of
your life forever, a crumpled heap ly-
ing on the floor or in these sanitary
times in receptacle provided for the
disposition of its remains.
Yes, there is no doubt that fond re-
grets follow the departure of the print
think of it, WASH t it awfully-let US
be generous and say-soiled, at timef,
and most times in factg
The new and sanitary individual pa
per towel may be a heartless thing, it
is true, but anyway it is clean. When
il has been used some ink will no
doubt be removed from face and hands
to the towel and not, as in former
times, vice versa.
The introduction of new things into
the printing office is getting on apaee.
The old towel had to go sooner or
later to make room for something bet
ter, for something which will improve
conditions. even if it is only the tenn
porary condition of face and hands,
and obviating the risk of piling upon
our skins the accumulated gatherings

In discussing the respective merits
of assembly bills Nos. 1853 and 260,
now pending in the legislature, State
Engineer Kearney said:
"There are two systems in force for
the determination of water rights in
the western states. The modern ten
dency to determine these matters in
an administrative way through admin
istrative officers who gather the in
formation and report it to the court
for confirmation or approval so as TO
leave the actual determination or lu-
dicial power, in the hands of the court.
"The duties devolve entirely upon
experts who make scientific expert
ments and prepare the decree for the
court s approval. All parties have am
pie opportunity to present all matters
of Importance in an informal way be-
fore the administrative officer. If not
satisfied with the determination filed
with the court for approval, they may
file exceptions with the court, who will
hear and dispose of them before rem
dering his decision.
"Thus, with a simple procedure Of
this kind, where the data and evidence
are taken without the numerous tech
nical delays incident to all court pro-
cess unless the determination of the
administrative officer is erroneous.
Those who are satisfied with such de-
termination have nothing further 10
do, for it is the court IS duty then to
approve the findings where they are
properly made.
" Assembly bill No. 1863, now pend
ing before the legislature is designed
to remedy any defects in the water law
of 1913, so as to permit the admins
trative features of the law to be shap-
ed so that the determination of the
officer in charge may be submitted 10
the court for his sanction or approval
without any unnecessary delays and
dilatory pleas.
- Assembly bill No. 219 proposes
that the attorney general of the state
shall file a suit against each and every
person owning water rights in the
state, for the purpose of determining
the extent thereof A bill of this ma
ture was enacted by the legislature in
the year 1899. After four years il was
repealed in its entirety. The bill ad-
heres to the system of determination
of water rights in the old way through
the courts, which has proved so ex-
pensive and almost interminable in Ne
vada.
Gas a matter of public policy we
should not force our water users to
litigate their claims in court without
first having an opportunity to settle
them without expensive litigation. If
the claims can be determined properly
in the first instance by the state in the
wav that the United States determines
conflicting claims to land, leaving the
parties their full rights in court there
after, the farmers and water-users
will no doubt be saved much time, ex-
pense and trouble

FINE SHOWING BY THE
WINNEMUCCA STATE BANK

In another column of this issue ap-
pears the statement of the Winnie
mucca State Bank & Trust company.
Although comparatively new insti-
tuition, each succeeding statement has
shown a considerable increase in its
business. While at present deposits are
not quite up to what they were at the
time of the last statement, this is ac-
counted for by the fact that all the
sheepmen of the county are financing
their own operations this year, not a
pound of wool having yet been sold.

 There were ether white dresses, too, with always the touch of black to give them the proper smartness. This was introduced sometimes in the hats; for instance, a wide-brimmed white Milan crown of black silk beaver and the brim edged with black straw. Again a bag was carried for the distinct pur- pose of introducing note of contrast with the dress. Many were of black shiny motorleather; made in saft gath cred shapes with hand clasps around the body portion, or in oblong wallet style with the strap on the top. Even stockings and pumps were pressed into service to give the desired effect Perpendicular black and white stripes being best liked in the stockings the favor in pumps being divided between white buckskin, touched with black leather, and white canvas cut in the same styles as the buck. The sensa- tion of the season, however, are the walking sticks; another equal rights victory! In these, black, shiny sticks predominate with skin-tight silk coy CTS, reaching from within six inches of the bottom to ten of the top. These covers are in white checker-board, green, blue, or, in fact, any silk to cor respond or contrast with the costume

)ne of the New Normal Waistline Frocks Made in the Popular
 Blue Taffeta

closes two distinct reasons for this change in fashion, first, the full skirt, and second, the corset. It is not sur prising that the waistline capered silhouette straight up and down; but now that skirts are voluminous and corsets real stays, nipped in at the sides, the joining of the waist and skirt naturally comes at the smallest part of the form, namely the waist line, as nature placed it.
 It has taken many months to bring about the evolution, and even yet there are those who are loath to give up their stay belts and back to nature corsets. When Joseph, in the early season exhibited silk frocks with our nal waistlines, many admired this couturieres courage; but few recog- nized the step as style prediction as soon to be realized
 Today smart frocks have trim waists. definitely marked. Whether you are summering at Hopatcong, es- caping the heat at beach resort or passing the early season in town, it is impossible to be oblivious, to this one feature, at least, of the mode. Again and again, fashion repeats her self in the ever prevalent blue taffeta dress. Wherever the New Yorker goes, you see it. If any one thinks she can dodge the clothes issue by packing up and hiking off to the coun- try, the mountains or the shore she

Too much attention cannot be paid to mouth and teeth. On May 18th, the S0O,000 children of the public schools of New York City brought tooth brushes fer the first celebration of Tooth Brush day. The entire week was Hygienic Week, and was devoted to the scrubbing of teeth and dental hygiene.
 At g o'clock all the children were taught what first aid to the teeth means, and the serious results or neg ed specialists, prominent dentists of the city, 150 of whom volunteered to aid the Board of Education They spoke for an hour in the schools.
 Friday Tooth Brush Day, saw drills in every school immediately after the opening of the afternoon session. The actual demonstration was done in each class by leader The class leader had in addition to his or her tooth brush cup of water, and the drill went as follows:
 "One, two, three, four, brush the front teeth with rotary motion. Dip. One, two, three, four, brush the teeth at the side with the same motion Dip
 Thus these 800 900 children spread the gospel of mouth cleanliness in that many homes and to five million people.
