UNCLE SANS PURSE
NOT VET EMPTY

WASHINGTON. d. c., June 20
Thanks to a rather unexpected inflow
from the income tax, Uncle Sam will
close the fiscal year tomorrow slightly
bent, but far from broke. All things
considered. the condition of the gov
ernments finances is far better than
was hoped for some months ago. Ow-
ing to the provisions of the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation
act for the fiscal year beginning day
after tomorrow, the number of en-
ployes will be reduced in some of the
departments, but it is stated that no
wholesale discharges are in prospect.
The force in the pension bureau will
be the heaviest sufferer by the re-
trenchment policy. but it is hoped that
virtually all OF the employees let out
there will be provided for through
transfers to other bureaus and depart
mcnts.

RULES FOR TRACK WALKING

The first and most important rule
is akin TO an Irish bull: Don't walk
on the track if YOU can possibly find
any other road, path or field to walk
on. But If you must walk on the
track, then be sure to look behind you
frequently, especially if the wind is
blowing in the opposite direction as
You are walking. On the approach of
a train look around and let the en-.
Gincer know that YOU see him. Don't
wait until he is almost upon you,

you often, for trans some times run
on one track in both directions. e

TARVlA DIDN'T SEEM TO
WORK WELL IN TONOPAH

Judging from the following in the
Tonopah Bonanza, the experiments
with tarvia in surfacins the streets of
Tonopah did not prove success.
"Unless the streets of Tonopah
which were coated with something
called tarvia and the stun concealed
by shoveling dust on it, are restored
to semblance of their condition be-
fore the trivia was applied by sweep
ing and then springling, a committee
of business men and taxpayers will
call upon the commissioners at the
next meeting. 1t promises TO be a
rather interesting meeting, for the
business men will express in no uncer-.
tain language their disapprobation of
the act of the board, which resulted in
the running of the streets and caused
great damage and Inconvenience from
dust. Subsequent action will then
probably take the form of either the
recall or refusal to pay city licenses,
something that number of Tonopah
business men have already resolved
upon"

Mr.. Bush's case was most aggra-

OF WATER
AROUND TUSCARORA
J. N. PhiIIips Says Simple Solution
of the Problem Lies in Building
Storage Reservoir

J. n. Phillips came down yesterday
from Tuscarora in his car. He is af-
ter supplies for the haying season
which will open very soon.
Mr.. Phillips says he will cut only
about 400 tons of hay this year which
is not much more than half a crop.
This is due entirely TO the shortage
OF water. Mr.. Phillips says that If ii
had not been for the rain and snow
storm in the mountains about a month
ago the farWers in his section would
have had hardly any crop this year.
Mr.. Phillips lives on McCann creek
south of Tuscarora. He has two
neighbors on that creek, w. p. Young
and w. r. Roseberry, and together
they have about 1000 acres of meadow
land that could be irrigated.
The shortage this year is due to
the fact that no snow fell in the noun
tains. AS q rule there is plenty of
water for the land now in hay. But a
much larger area could be put in hay
If the run-off early in the spring were
stored.
McCann creek is the headwaters of
the west fork of the Owyhce. and once
the water escapes into the main Owy-
hee it is lost to this state.
Mr.. Phillips says there is an excel
lent reservoir site just south of his
place where two converging hills mar
row the valley to a width OF about n
hundred yards. The dam would not
have to be over 60 feet in height and
would back the water up for mile
and a half. The reservoir in places
would be more than half a mile in
width.
This reservoir would probably store
$4,000 acre feet of water, and with the
rainfall in that section is enough to
reclaim as many acres of new land.
South of Mr.. Phillips place on an
other branch of the West Owyhee
lives Tracy Fairchild, and north of
him on Indian creek is II. G. Suttle.
These neighbors are all short of wat
er and will not cut more than half a
crop of hay.
But Jack Greek farther north is
flowing full stream and the Palo
Alton Land and Livestock company
which takes its ditthes out of Jack
creek will get the usual croy OF hay.
Mr.. Phillips some time ago had the
misfortune to lose three valuable
horses. The animals. either strayed
or were stolen. In another column
Mr. Phillips is Offering reward for
their return.
Mr.. Phillips says that the Brand
Book which is about ready to be is.
sued by the Independent is thing
that has long been needed by the
stockmen of eastern Nevada. He and
his nelghbors were planning to get
out one on their own account when
they saw that the Independent had
taken UP the work
II is probable that Mr.. Phillips
horses have strayed to some neigh
bors range. If this neighbor had the
brand book he could notify the owner
where to find his property.
The Brand Book has nearly reached
the 900 mark. 1t is thought that the
number will reach about 325. The In.
dependent expects to have out the
book the latter part Of July.
