Rabbits Becoming a Pest

Elko Free Press: Since the big
snow storm the ranchers in Starr
Valley are kept busy protecting their
hay stacks from the ravages of the
thousands of rabbits that have been
driven in from the hills to the val
ley. The base of the stacks are
eaten in many instances so badly
that the stacks are in danger of
topping over, and in order to pro-
tect them the ranchers are fencing
the hay yards with small meshed
wire. There is considerable talk OF
organizing a big rabbit drive, with
every man and boy from the valley
and from the surrounding towns, anG
make a clean sweep of the little
pests.

CONGRESSMEn WILL HELP
MODIFY LAND RULINGS

A little over two weeks ago the
Carson Appeal published an editorial
commenting on the United States
land office at Washington for some
of the hardships its rulings are work.
ing on desert land entrymen in this
and other western States. The body
of the editorial was extracted from
the Goldfeld Tribune and given due
credit, but the comments were the
Appeals, as was its caption calling
the attention of Nevada's representa-
tives in Congress to it. The article
as it appeared in the Appeal was
widely copied, and a number of
marked copies of the paper contain
ing it we're sent to representative
men throughout the country. Nu-
merous letters bearing on the sub
ject have since been received at the
Appeal office, among the number
being one from Senator Key Pittman
and Congressman Roberts of this
State and one from Congressman
Frank w. Mondell of Wyoming, in
all of which the writers pledge their
support to a correction of the perni-
cious conditions which prevail in the
land department. Congressman Mon
dell's letter is typical of the several
received and is as follows:
Washington, d. c., Jan. g.. 1916.
1T. D. Ven Devort, Editor Carson
City Daily Appeal, Carson City,
Nevada.
my Dear Mr.. Van Devort: ] want
to thank you for sending me a copy
of the Daily Appeal of December 22.
containing editorial with regard to
the present rulings of the land office
affecting entries under the desert
land laws and lands which it is pro-
posed to reclaim by pumping. en-
tirely agree with the view you ex-
press as to the unfairness and in
justice of the present attitude of the
department in regard to this matter.
For several years past there has
been a growing tendency in the de-
partment to establish rules and regu-
lations and render decisions which
make it difficult to secure title to
lands under the desert land laws.
If it was the deliberate purpose of
the land Office to render the desert
land laws practically imperative,
the purpose could not be more cer-
tainly accomplished than by the
decisions to lands which have been
rendered and the rules and regula-
tons which have been adopted, and
this is true whether the entryman
proposes to irrigate his land from a
stream. by storage, or by pumping.
Il have frequently protested
against this attitude of the depart
ment and | think if all the western
papers would take the matter up as
you have, we could bring sufficient
pressure on the department to secure
conditions which will afford relief
from a situation under which. no
matter how we'll intentioned the de-
partment may be, its decisions and
its regulations are depriving entry
men and prospective entrymen un-
der the desert land laws of rights and
opportunities which the law was ex-
pected to afford and guarantee
them.
Very truly yours.
F. w. MONDELL."

Too Much to Expect. .,.. 49,. !.
With conditions favorable Duke
should lower his own mark of SO is
over the century swim, but 1t is real.
ly too much to expect of him to set
a mark of so flat FOR the distance.
True he has startled the world by his
swimming feats, but lowering a mark
which has been cut down by fractions
to 3 Is seconds faster than it has
been done before is something more
than the most hopeful can expect.
In a discussion the other day on
the merits of the swimmers, and the
speed at which the best natator could
cover the 100 yards, the question was
asked: Can a swimmer make the dis
lance in 80 flat? Ned Steel and
Charles Stillman, two well. known
swimming enthusiasts, ventured the
statement that Duke could. do this
feat. They gave figures for the so

Will a sprinter ever run the 100

one question that has been asked
hundreds of times, but has yet to be
answered. although Ralph Craig, Dan
Kelly, Howard Drew and others have
made an effort to do it, but have fail

Another question that is asked per-
haps as often is whether or not it is
possible for a swimmer to negotiate
the 100 yards in so seconds. This
question remains to be answered, and
Honolulu will surely become interest
ed if this feat is ever accomplished.
A few years ago it was thought re-
markable that swimmer could make
the distance in less than a minute.
but Duke Kahanamoku hrs lowered
the mark to SO Is seconds.
Can Duke Do It?
Will Duke Kahanamoku swim the
100 yards in so flat at the big swim
ming meet during September? Will
the worlds greatest swimmer do what
is considered the impossible? 1t is
hardly fair to expect it, but still you
will find many thorough students OF
swimming in Honolulu who believe
that Duke will cut the mark to so Sec

Duke is always doing the unexpect-
ed. No one believed that he would
set a new mark in the Y. NJ. c.. A.
tank recently, and few expected him
to make better than So seconds. Yet
he did it. and could have made better
time had he not slowed up on one
turn This in itself is something for
his admirers to point at.

At a meeting of the members of the
Hawaiian Rowing Association last
evening at the Commercial Club, 1t
was decided to hold the annual regat-
"a on the harbor. This was voted un-
animeusly Since Ray Rfetow has
taken position on Maui 1t was de-
cided to elect another secretary, and
G. Won Aspe was chosen for the po-
sition.
The committee will confer with the
members of the various clubs, and
then outline a tentative program for
the meeting. Entries Yrom Hilo, Ho-
noluius, Healani, Myrtle and Alert
will be entered in number of events.

The Myrtle coach is George Crozier.
a man with long experience in the
row ng game, and whose coaching
ability is well known. Brown, to.
gether with Paul Jarrett ard Lempke,
are printing the experienced oarsmen
up for the most grueling contest with

breaking in of new men is another
job which they are undertaking.
Brown and Jarrett, well known oars

along this basis he should be able 10
negotiate the 75-yard swim In 50 10.
The best time he has made for this
distance is 80 3-5 in open water.
To swim the 100 yards in SO flat
Duke would have to. equal his record
OF 90 flat for the first so yards. and
then swim the last so yards in q
flat. which Is calling on everything
that he has in strength and speed and
possibly more. If Duke ever reaches
the point where he can swim the IS.

Is not impossible that he could make
the distance in so flatswi everything
