HIGHWAY EXPERTS WILL
PAY VISIT TO NEVADA

Governor Boyle last Friday sent a
message to the bureau OF public roads
and rural engineering at Washington.
D. c., requesting the services OF two
experts who are familiar with high
way construction in the various states
OF the Union, and also with the gen.
eral draft OF the bill To be presented
to the State Legislatures in compli-
ance with the Shackelford bill passed
by Congress. whereby the states of
the Union are TO receive $4,000 900
for the construction of national high
ways. He was later in receipt OF a
reply from the bureau. stating that
two experts would be sent from there
and were due To arrive In Carson CITY
In about two or three weeks.
According to the Shackelford bill.
the money appropriated by Congress
is To be distributed among the various
states. according to population and
area, and Nevada is To receive in the
neighborhood of s67 900 this year
With an increased amount each year
for five years. The act calls for n
similar amount to be appropriated by
the legislature OF the various states
and the appointment of highway
commission To work in conjunction
With the Federal commission In the
carrying out of plans for construct
ing highways.
The total amount which will accrue
10 Nevada as a result OF the Shackel-
ford act is about Sl,000.000 which
must be met with like amount from
the State.-News

NEW HOMESTEAD LAW
PASSED BL CONGRESS

The United State Land office at
Carson has been notified as follows.
Washington. d. c.. December 30,
1916. L. S. Land Office. Carson City,
Nevada, Receive and suspend appli-
cations with petitions for designation
under grazing homestead law approx
ed today
This act provides that qualified
entrymen may take GAO acres of land
that is not susceptible of irrigation
and that those who have homesteaded
entries embracing lands of this chara-
cters may take additional lands to in
crease their holdings to 640 acres
Petitions. in duplicate. should ac-
company applications under this act
to have the lands applied for designa
titions should show that the lands are
not susceptible of irrigation and that
they are chiefly valuable for grazing
No further details can be given until
Departmental regulations are furnish
ed II is suggested by the Land Office
that applications be made on the EN-
larged homestead blanks with suitable
notifications and that a remittance of
$40 and $3.50 for each 40 acres ap-
piled for as a commission be made
For many years there has been a
strong demand for a law that will
permit the taking up of lands in the
mountainous region for grazing pur-
poses, and the above law wiuld ap-
pear to be just the thing for the man
who is not able to engage in stock
raising except on a small scale.
Heretofore grazing lands were prac-
tically withheld from entry, the des-
ert law being about the only act nn-
der which lands of this character
requiring that a sufficient quantity
OF water for irrigating the land must
be developed before it could be filed
upon, proved to be almost prohibi-
tive. Therefore. the $40 acre home
stead law will greatly assist in set
Ting mp the mountainous regions.
The full construction of the law as
interpreted will be awaited with deep
interest

prohibition, thtre were only I such
arrests. Again, the saloon pois0ns the
social atmosphere. II lowers the
moral tone of the community and
deadens the noblest traits in human
nature.
These arguments apply to the State
also, only In larger measure. Ne
vada has the highest percentage of
crime; It is first In pauperism and
stands very high in insanity. At the
same time il has the highest number
OF liquor dealers per capita. II re-
quires no great reach of Imagination
to see the cloce relationship between
the large number of saloons, on the
one hand, and crime and pauperism
and insanity on the other. These
facts are proven by State and court
records and by university investiga-
ton. The boast of the liquor inter-
ests is that they produce SO much of
the State revenue, and yet one of the
most difficult problems our legislators
have to deal with Is finance. How
does Nevada with It's acute financial
difficulties, and with one liquor deal
er for about every 50 people. compare
with prohibition Kansas without one

is absolutely no comparison.
Then there is the great economic
phase of this question. With America
and the rest of the world facing a
shortage of food, we are pending
81, 100000 900 annually for intoxica-
ting liquors. Some OF the warning
nations are forestalling want and pos
sible famine by fordidding the manu-
facture and use of intoxicants. In
Russia, in 1913, the average monthly
deposits in the state savings banks
we're a little over 100000 roubles.
while for the first seven months in
1915. under prohibition. the average
monthly savings were over 100000
roubles The force of this argument
becomes doubly strong when science
proves to us that alcohol Is not a
food at all, but that it is a violent
poison Some day the government
will take as much precaution against
its abuse as 1t now takes against other
poisons The dead drunk" Is a
dangerous poisoned man.
These are few of the facts upon
which the campaign for dry Ne
vada in 1879 Is being based, and
these are some of the reasons why
John Barlycorn has been outlawed In
twenty-five States. and why 60,000,-
900, or 65 per cent of the American
people. are under prohibition laws.
Large numbers are living in damp
or partially dry States, and it Is pre-
dicted and confidently believed that by
| 1920 the nation will go dry by amend
ing the federal constitution to that
effect
The State ought not go into partner
ship with such business, nor should
our prosperity be built upon the con-
ditions depicted in foregoing para
graphs-upon the low moral order,
the ruined homes, the depleted school,
the impaired efficiency of the worker,
the abnormal, defective, criminal
classes, in short. upon the false ecOno-
mics of the saloon. We cannot afford
to take the immoral side OF a great
moral issue

tRY FRANK c. yONESl

The prohibition petition recently
circulated has aroused considerable
antagonism and given rise to the
usual ridiculously foolish stories
These are so silly that one is not
justified In taking the time to reply
to them. However, since prohibition
is to be the leading issue in Nevada
politics for the next two years, the
more this question is agitated the bet
ter will it be for all concerned.
One of these idle rumors is that the
persons having the petitions were
paid for every signature secured.
Suffice 1t to say that those who were
instrumental in getting 15l signers in
in this county found when their work
was done that, far from receiving
pay. they were at loss of some
dollars for travelling and other ex-
penses, which they must regard as
their personal contribution to the
cause. This is merely given to throw
light upon the fact that the weapon
OF the liquor interests has always
been Misrepresentation and slander
These interests have not hid one new
argument. valid argument, in fifty
years, hence the defense of lies that
they resort to. Doubtless during the
next two years the brewers and dis
tillers In the United States will spend
money without stiEt to defeat the dry
law in Nevada. To meet this the
friends of Temperance in the State are
urged to give their aid in every legiti-
mate way and are justified in using
their money to carry on the campaign
of education.
The first quarrel, in this campaign.
Is with the saloon itself In the
language of the lawyer, the saloon is
an evil per Sc. II is the institution
that fosters vice and social immoral :
ity, it violates the law by allowing
minors within its doors; it welcomes
the loafer and encourages idleness
1t is the hot-bed of profan-
ity and obscenity; 1t obtrudes its ill
smelling presence upon the innocent
passer-by, Haunting defiance and in
hulti in the face of decency. II is the
destroyer of the home. Too frequent
/ ly the earnings of the father are di-
verted from the support OF the family
TO the maintenance of the saloon
keepers business. ut robs the school
Wherever prohibition is established
the school attendance increases. Men
whose wages go for booze have nc
money to keep their children In
school. 1t is the chief offender against
the peace of the community The
cost of jails and courts is a civic loss
and more arrests and trials rcsul.

cording to the confession Of the boys,
finding the farm house temporarily I'M
occupied, they thought they could do
what they pleased and get away with
it. A great deal of farm machinery
standing in the yard near the farm
house also was broken and rendered
useless. The boys parents may settle

was alive, but ready for a good bran
