HEAVY STOCK LOSSES
Passing of the Snow Reveals
Bodies of Hundreds of Dead
Cattle in Elko County

The severity of the Winter storms
in Clover valley. in the Eastern part
of Elko County, r now being
brought very wildly to the attention
of the public who have visited that
section in the past week, says the
Elko Free Press.
The melting snow banks that we're
piled up over the willows in the mea-
dows when the January blizzard
swept yer the country, when hun
dreds of cattle and horses were
smothered to death by the blanket
of snow that was piled over them as
they stood in the lee of the thickets.
is exposing many animals that are
still frozen solid. some of them still
standing upright. supported by the
densely packed snow, while in other
places groups of cattle and horses
are shown lying down. huddled to-
gether in an effort to seek the
warmth from the others bodies. AS
the snow banks recede. more and
more of the animals are being ex-
posed and the loss is found to be
greater than at first supposed. In
fact, one of the ranchers of the val
ley. who is in town. tells US that a
poll of the ranchers in the valley
show that fully 500 head of cattle
and horses were killed by the bliz-
zard.
Practically all the hay in the val
ley has been consumed and unless
the snow soon goes and warm weather
comes so that the grass starts. grave
apprehension is felt that the loss will
be greater still. as the animals are
weakened from the long siege of
Winter that they have gone through.

D. S. SOLDIERS DEFEAT VILLA
Thirty Of Bandits Command
Killed and Four American
Troopers Wounded in
First Clash with
Villa

The SENTINEL at noon to-day re-
ceived the following Mexican war
news in a telephone message from
Palisade:
According to a report of General
Pershing, in charge of the American
forces now in the field against Villa,
to General Funston from the San
Geronimo ranch, the Americans
under Colonel Dodd surprised Gener-
al Villa and his force of 500 men at
dawn Wednesday at Guerrero and
severely defeated them.
The attack was a surprise to the
Villa forces and eliminated in a rum
ming fight in which they were driven
for ten miles into the mountains
northeast of the railway, where they
separated into small bands.
Villa lost 80 men killed, which in
cluded one of Villas generals.
Another of his generals was severe
~ wounded. The Americans had
four troopers wounded. Two ma
chine guns, many cavalry horses. and
much ammunition was captured by
the Americans.
General Pershing says that what
is regarded as a confirmation of the
report that Villa was suffering q
broken leg had been received, and
his exact whereabouts has beer
learned.

UNDERGROUND WATER
IN ARID STATES

One of the big recent developments
in the building up of the arid and
semiarid States is the recovery of un-
derground water for irrigation.
Formerly nearly all irrigation sup
plies were derived from surface
streams, but two conditions have in
recent years directed attention to
the valuable supplies of water which
are stored in the huge subterranean
reservoirs underlying many of the
desert areas of the West and which
can be tapped by drilling wells. The
first of these conditions is the rapid
exhaustion of unappropriated sur
face supplies and the necessity of
finding other supplies if the irriga-
ton of the arid lands is to be extend
ed; the second is the reduction in the
cost of pumping due to improve
ments in pumps, the development of
internal-combustion engines, and the
installation of large h~ydroelectric
power plants.
When the last federal census was
taken more than half a million acres
of land was irrigated in the United
States with water supplied by wells,
about three-fourths of which was
pumped, the rest rising to the sur
face by artesian pressure. Since
that time progress has been made ir
the recovery of underground water
At first ground-water irrigation wa!
almost wholly confined to a few
regions. such as southern California
the Pecos Valley, and the Arkansas
Valley. but now nearly all parts Of
the West are being prospected fol
ground-water supplies.
Owing to the diversity'in geologic
conditions the occurrence of under
ground water differs greatly from
place to place. Many of the desert
valleys have large and valuable sup
plies; but others which appear no les

Nevada Famous As
Mining State

Nevada is a Spanish word mean
ing snowy or white as snow"
and the name of the State was de-
rived from the Sierra Nevada. The
State ranks sixth in size in the Union.
Its length from north to south is 484
miles, its width 321 miles, and it's
area l09. 821 square miles.
The history of Nevada is chiefly
the history of her mines. Since the
discovery of the Comstock lode and
other famous ore bodies periods of
activity and prosperity have alter
mated with periods of depression.
Each discovery of high-grade ore in
noteworthy quantity has been fol-
lowed by rapid settlement in that
locality and the establishment of one
or more towns. In l890-1893 a sharp
decline in the price of silver initiated
or accompanied a period of depres-
sion in Nevada's mining and general
industrial prosperity. Silver is so
important a u of the State
that to a large extent even now her
prosperity depends upon the market
for that metal. OF late years, how
ever, an increased production of
gold, copper, and recently of plati-
mum has accompanied a gradual and.
it is hoped, substantial industrial
progress. Permanent towns have
grown up and agriculture and relat-
ed pursuits are becoming firmly es-
tablished LIMITED States Geological

THE RECENT HISTORY
OF TROUBLED MEXICO
Events of Last Five Years, Which
Have Led to American Expedi-
ton into the "Land of God
and Liberty"

In order to make clearer the cir
cumstances which led to the Ameri-
can expedition into Mexico. this re-
view is given by Current Events:
On May 26, 1911, Porfrio Diaz re-
signed under c%ompulsion. He had
been President or dictator of
Mexico for 35 years.
Francisco de la Barra, being Secre-
tary of State, became Provisional
President.
Francisco |. Madero was elected
President as fairly as anyone was
ever elected in Mexico-and that is
not saying much. He faced contin-
ual revolutions and at last was
murdered, in February, 1913.
Under the Mexican Constitution
Pedro Lascurain, Secretary of State,
became Provisional President on the
death of Madero. He held the Office
only 26 minutes and then resigned,
having appointed Victoriano Huerta
Secretary of State.
Huerta's Rise and Fall
Huerta then became Provisional
President. AS he was believed to be
the murderer of Madero, President
Wilson refused to recognize him.
His short reign was marked by great
cruelty, and by an insult to the
American flag. President Wilson,
with the consent of Congress, sent a
fleet and took the city of Vera Cruz.
Huerta was facing revolutions, the
most powerful of which was led by
Venustiano Carranza, a friend and
partisan of Madero's.
Carranza's chief lieutenant at that
time was a former bandit named
Francisco Villa. The Carranza revo-
luton made such progress that
Huerta fled to Europe. Later he re-
turned to the United States, was ar
rested on a charge of conspiracy and
died in a Texas prison.

new YEAR GOING
TO Be BABY YEAR
UNCLE SAM is BACKING PLAN
TO PROMOTE BETTER BA-
BTES IN AMERICA.

Ninteen sixteen is baby year. The
facts about American babies, the
needs of Americas responsibility to
her babies will this year be known
as never before because the first week
in March will be baby week through
out this country.
More than 400 communities rep
resenting every state in the union
are already laying the plans for baby
week, according to the children's bu-
reau of the United States department
of labor, in order that during those
seven days the needs of the babies
may be so presented that all the pa
rents will learn little better how
to care for their babies, and all the
citizens will realize that they have a
special obligation to safeguard the
conditions surrounding babies. And
it is confidently believed by those who
are interested in this nationwide
baby week that the remainder of the
year will be marked by Strengthening
of all coccunity activities for saving
babies lives and giving them a bet
ter chance to grow to a healthy ma
turity.
The baby week idea originated in
Chicago not quite two years ago.
Then New York had a baby week,
and Pittsburg and other cities. Such
practical benefit has in each case re-
suited that the General Federation Of
Women's Clubs has undertaken to
promote this nationwide observ-
ance.

Upon Progressive Farmer readers
everywhere in newly infested boil
weevil territory we would impress the
fact that there is no occasion for
alarm and panic. True, the coming
of the weevil to any cotton country,
particularly south of the latitude of
Birmingham and Atlanta, is serious
problem; but no problem has ever
been successfully met and solved by
fright and decentralization. The only
proper and sensible course is first to
learn what Is necessary in the fight
against the weevil, and then thor
oughly apply what has been found
most effective. In aiming at the best
plan of effective action the following
suggestions, based on past expert
ence with the weevil, will, we believe,
be of value to our readers:
/. In all territory infested this
fall for the first time weevil damage
this year will not be heavy-rarely
if ever more than 25 per cent. This
comparatively light damage the sec
ond year is due to the fact that the
weevils the fall before are not suffi-
GENTLY numerous to thoroughly infest
all fields, and consequently the num-
Der living through the winter is not
large.

What to Do When Boil Weevil Comes
From the Progressive Farmer.

damage than the boil weeVil itself.
This is a point we would impress es-
pecially upon business men in newly
invaded territory. We have in few
instances, known of what virtually
amounted to disaster to come with
the weevil, but where this has been
the case it has largely been due to
fright; bankers, supply merchants,
landlords refused to continue to ex-
tend credit where credit had been the
rule, and in other ways plainly show
ed by their action that they believed
that agriculturally the jig was up"
Quite true our credit system is by no
means ideal; but to eliminate it or to
substitute better is something that
cannot be done overnight. 1t is i'm
portant to understand the seriousness
of the situation, but don't get STAN
peded.
8. A live-at-home policy is the
first step in beating the boil weeVil.
We believe the majority of our read
ers will continue to grow some cot
ton despite the weeyil, but they can
never do this on "store-bought" sup
plies. The policy of living at home
and soil building is sound the world
over. but the coming of the boil wee
vii serves to accentuate its tremen-
dous Importance.

UNCLE TRICKED OUT
OF CANAL TOLLS
Representative AdamsOn of Georgia
Tells Congress of the Acts of the
Foreign Ship Owners.

WASHINGTON.-Tricks resorted
to by foreign ship owners to cut down
their Panama canal tolls were re-
veaIed today by Representative Ad-
amson, Georgia chairman of the
house interstate commerce commit
tee, in introducing a bill to author
ize a new system worked out by the
war department for measuring yes
sells passing through the canal. In
some instances, Mr.. Adamson said
the United States had been receiving
under the present system only about
one-third of the tolls to which it was
entitled. One of the most effective
schemes for beating the system, he
explained, involved the use of un-
hinged doors on deck compartments
to take advantage of the provisiC n
that no charge shall be made for open
space on deck.
