LAS VEGAS SUPPLY OF
WATER TO BE TESTED.

In furtherance of the work of the
University of Nevada for the benefit
of Nevada ranchers. C. s. knight,
cean of the University School OF
Agriculture, and Professor J.. G.
Scrugham. head of the engineering
department, will visit Las Vegas this
week to look into the possibility of
developing water in Las Vegas and
Indian Springs valleys.
The contour of the valleys is such
that a plentiful supply of water is al
most an assured proposition. The
surrounding hills are heavily timber
ed and snow-covered. There Is no
outlet for the streams except through
the gravel strata of the valleys.
Experts are of the opinion that tap
ping these strata will give a good
flow of water for irrigation purposes.
Several wells are being sunk and
will be ready for the installation OF
Jumps about the middle of the week.
1t is for the purpose of supervising
the installation of these pumps that
Professors Knight and Scrugham will
visit the valleys. They will be gone
three or four days.
As the valleys have a nine months
growing season the development of
water in considerable quantities will
be of enormous value to the ranchers

STOCKMEN DEMAND
ALFALFA MEAL.

Stock raisers recognize the value
of alfalfa meal as food for horses.
sheep, hogs. cattle and poultry.
Ground alfalfa has been found to
contain 5 per cent more nutritive
qualities than alfalfa in its natural
form and feeding the meal has been
growing in favor for some years.
The cost of the meal has worked
against its greater use. While TIE
hay is quoted at Sc a ton the meal
sells for sic and a grinding machine
that would do the work eheaply and
we'll long has been sought.
Reno man claims to have a ma
chine that will grind alfalfa at a cost
of 81 a ton. If this cost of grinding
can be attained it will be a boon to
stockman, who find grain feeding too
expensive.
Alfalfa meal is especially suitable
to old cattle and horses. II makes
good combinations with grain, bran
and other meals.
Poultry breeders look upon cheap.
er alfalfa meal as the solution of the
problem, poultry for profit and will
welcome its coming.

TAN SUITS MAY
BE COMPROMISED.

The suits brought by members OF
the Humboldt county taxpayers as
sociation against the state tax com
mission and county officials are to be
submitted to arbitration and there is
good reason to believe that the re-
suit will be a compromise. which will
be the best thing for all concerned.
The offer to submit the matter in
, litigation to arbitration came from
| the state tax commission and was
submitted to the attorneys for the
plaintiffs, Hoyt, Gibbons and French
of Reno. The attorneys submitted
the proposition to their clients and it
was considered at a meeting of the
taxpayers association held in Winnie
mucca.
The offer was accepted by the as
sociation and official notification of
the action was ~telegraphed to their
attorney.
The method of arbitration propos-
ed is for the association and the tax
commission each to appoint one
member of the board. which will con-
slider all the matters in litigation.
Should the arbitration board fail to
reach an agreement, they are to ap-
point a third member. The taxpay-
ers and the tax commission bind
themselves to accept the report of the
arbitration board and the respective
attorneys will enter into a stipulation
to have the findings of the court on
form to the report of the arbitration
board and to abide by this decision.
The taxpayers have appointed w.
C. Noteware of Lovelock as their
member of the board. The name of
the other member has not yet been
announced.

the leadership OF the western confer
ence. Chicago lost to Minnesota and
Illinois. Wisconsin's luck was poor.
Because OF the loss OF sFullback CAL
vim through ineligibility on account OF

Smith on account OF injuries, the team
was;so weakened that It lost, its three
principal games.
In the South, ALL Of the colleges
play under the four-year system.
Vanderbilt carried away the laurels
in the Southern intercollegiate Assoc
fation. scoring 461 points to none for
its opponents, up to the Sewanee game
on Thanksgiving day. Vanderbilt,
however. lost by a So to 10 score to
Virginia, which is not a member OF

In the southwest, Oklahoma reigns
supreme. having defeated the state
university teams OF Arkansas, Kan
sas, Missouri and Texas, as well as all
other teams played. ;.
Among the teams in the East and
middle West playing under the four
year rule, fine records were made by
Pitt, Washington and Jefferson, Col
gate and the Michigan sAggies.
In my opinion. teams using men
four years should play only with
teams following the same rule. The
additional year makes a great deal of
difference. in the possibilities for q
team. The case Of .lotre Dame helps
make my point.
Until two years ago, Notre Dame
under the four-year rule was a dan
lgerous adversary and defeated some
very. strong teams, including Yale
and the ( Army. Last season Nntre
Dame adopted the three-year rule,
barring sarst year men. and since then
It has not been heard from so spromi-
nently. 1t surely makes a difference.

The 1915 football season developed
some great stars and several brilliant
teams, but at the same time It got OF
with q bad start. and early results dis
appointed many lovers Of the game.
No doubt the general public con-
cluded, after some OF the most. con
spicuous university teams had been
beaten by small colleges early in. the
fall, that the season would turn out
more or less OF q fizzle. Schedules
were so arranged that there was no
definite elimination OF contenders.
Therefore, the results from week to
week seemed more or less incon-
elusive. y
It takes q stirring championship
race to arouse general and spontane-
GUS enthusiasm. Thus, while several
teams Of remarkable brilliance were
fighting their way through to VIC
storious conclusion, there was de-
gree of apathy on. the part of the
public, which continued until the
stirring games at the seasons close.
In reviewing the work Of the sea
son, 1t should be made clear at the
outset that in comparing the victor
fous teams / am consid ering only those
that observe the three-year playing
rule.
It is. not fair to consider in the
same class the teams that play men
three years and those that work their
men for four seasons. The former
would be under handicap in such
comparison, OF course. This Is not
taken into account by the general
public. which pays heed only to the
scores, and which knows or cares
little about the handicap referred to.
In the East, three teams were very
strong: Cornell, Harvard and syra-
cuse. The latter had fewer points
scored against It than had any other
team. These points included three
