WELL WORTH SMALL OUTLAY
Cultivation OF Hedges and Fences
Along Railroads Right of Way
Is of Real Practical Value.

A number of railroad companies
have already made considerable effort
to beautify their rights of way and
station grounds. In some places the
roads are paralleled for many miles
by hedges, and the land on either side
of the tracks is covered by beautiful
turf. About the stations, hedges, shrub
berry, and flower beds are common. If
this planting could be aimed in part,
at least, toward attracting birds 1t
would be very effective mad great good
would be done. If the clumps Of
shrubs were formed of kinds furnish
ing bird food, if more of them were
placed along the rights of way, if the
hedges were allowed to bear fruit, and
if the fence poles or possibly even
some of the telegraph poles bore: bird
houses, thousands of birds could live
where very few do now.
The suggestions made are by no
means without practical value to the
right of way itself. For instance, sup
plying bird boxes is the best method
of preventing damage to poles by
woodpeckers, which come anyway uhF
der present conditions and make their
own homes. Hedges or fences densely
covered with vines would decrease, il
not entirely obviate, expenditures for
the movable snow fences now extern
Sively used.

A NOVEL PROJECT.

Among the many projects to make
Palestine really the Jewish center
is one that captures the imagination
and is yet eminently practical. 1t
is sponsored by Mr.. Leon Zolotkoff,
of Chicago, and is known as "The
Jerusalem Printing Works" Its
purpose is to establish in Jerusalem
a fully equipped and thoroughly up
to-date printing establishment that
shall not only be adequate for all the
needs of Palestine, but also serve as
the printing press for the Jewish
world.
Culture implies, among other
things, literature; and literature in
wolves books, which presupposes a
press. Until the outbreak of the war,
most of the Hebrew books in the
world were produced in Russia, not
ably in Wilma and Warsaw. These
have been destroyed and it is doubt
full if they can be restored without
the utmost difficulty. 1t is there
fore proposed to found printing
establishment in Jerusalem that
shall concentrate the entire industry

THE NECESSITY OF UN-
LEARNING.

We always think of education and
training as cumulative processes,
adding fact to fact, line to line, idea
to idea, or performance to perform
ance We forget that they often
mean unlearning as we'll as learning,
subtraction as we'll as addition, get
ting rid of ideas as we'll as acquir-
ing them. In childhood we often
learn many things as a result of
faulty teaching or bad ASSOCIATION
which after a while we are hidden
to unlearn and to forget. And as in
the case of the individual, so in the
case of the group, or humanity at
large, unlearning is an important
part of it's education If civiliza-
ton means the acquisition of new
ideas, new facts, new processes of
work, new ethical standards and
new PHILOSOPHERS, it also means the
abandoning of the old ideas, old
prejudices and superstitions, old
standards and old habits of life. 1t
is that which really makes human
progress so slow and laborious. 1t
is not so difficult to acquire the new
idea as it is to let go Of the old. And
very often the old is not disturbed
or displaced except by radical rev.
olution.
Ri ght now we are in the midst of
a great process of un1earning. We

THE ZION RESTORATION
FUND DRIVE.

With the coming of DR.. Ben Zion
Mossinsohn to the Twin Cities, Feb
ruary $40, the big drive for the
Zion Restoration Fund will begin.
The Twin Cities Jews will be called
upon to raise at least $4,000. There
are about 5000 registered Zionists
in Minneapolis and St. Paul, who
will undoubtedly make liberal con-
tributions to this fund But there is
every reason why those Jews who
are not known as Zionists and are
not in sympathy with the Jewish
nationalist ideal should contribute
just as literally, according to their
means. For the $3,OOO,OO0 fund to
be raised this year will largely be
spent for constructive work in Pal
estine along all lines, educational,
sanitary, industrial, and agricultural.
1t will be spent on work of rehabili-
tation and restoration. For Pales-
tine Jewry suffered from the raw

Jewry Of any other war-swept land.
Should not even a non-Zionist Jew
help in bringing about sanitary con-
ditions, and stamping out disease, in
Palestine? Should he not help in
giving the youth of Palestine the
right education, and industrial train
ing? Should he not assist in put
ting the Jewish farmers and me-
chanics on their feet again? Should
he not also assist in preparing the
country for the reception of new
immigrants in Palestine, their prop
er distribution and settlement in
cities or on farms, by maintaining

inquiries regarding prospects in the
country north of WinIemucca. 1t
seems the settlement enterprise near
Rebel Creek has received wide pub

NO MANS LAND Is
HELD BY RANCHfR

A. ]. Pedroli, an Italian ranchei
living on the east side of Washot
lake, who has been playing tag with
the commissioners of Washoe county
for several years by alternately open
ing and closing the public road be-
tween Reno and Carson, to the incon-
venience of travellers, put the finish
ing touch on his campaign Sunday
by throwing another fence across the
highway and digging an old-fashioned
moat about four feet deep as an added
barrier, says the Reno Gazette.
Monday The county commissioners
who have been trying to get settle
ment with the belligerent rancher
concluded that an entirely new route
would have to be constructed. and
accordingly they will at once build
about a mile of new highway, which
will eliminate the disputed stretch
through the pedroh ranch.
The Gazette is apparently trying to
make it easy for the commissioners
The State Journal has the following
to say about the matter:
District Attorney L. d. Summerfield
has declined to prosecute the man on
several complaints. The road, the at
torney says, runs on Pedroli's land
The county commissioners a number
of years ago secured verbal promise
from the rancher. it is said. that he
would sell the land to them. They
obtained no written agreement, how
ever. and since then Pedroli, firing OF
constant commotion, has changed his
mind.
There are only three ways that
the county can claim right of way
here" said Summerfeld. by written
deed, bv condemnation, or by right
of use for five years. They have none
of these grounds. and so ! fail to see
how the man can be prosecuted.
The rancher's decision not TO sell
is said to be on account of alleged
failure of the commissioners 10 survey
the road so that half of it should be
on his property and half on that OF
his neighbor. Pedroli did not care to
sell his land. but was willing to do
his share for the accommodation OF
the county.
County Surveyor Updyke and Dep
uty Sheriff Carter. when they visited
the place Monday found Pedroli had
established a little mo mans land
all his own and was patroling ii with
a shotgun. They retreated without
casualties.

BENCOA WILL UP
IN DISTRICT COURT

A long session of district court to-
day was taken up by the matter of
the estate of Domingo Bengoa. who
whose will, hastily executed on his
deathbed, apparently left all his prop
erty to the widow. Moses Reinhart
had applied for letters of administra-
ton of the estate Judge Callahan
appointed Campbell, Robins & Salter
to represent the minor heirs. Amos
Aramburu, John de Arriata and Will
liam Blattner were appointed apprais-
ers of the estate. Moses Reinhart
was confirmed as administrator with
the will annexed, and his bond placed
at $25,OOO.
The protracted discussion of the
case arose from the question as to
whether or not the minor heirs of
deceased should be considered as con-
testants of the will. Because of this
legal question the local law firm was
appointed by the court to represent
the children. At the conclusion of the
hearing an order was entered giving
the minor heirs permission and au-
thority to contest the will at the time
of distribution of the estate, if they
desired to do So

LEGISLATURE SAYS
AMENDMENT GOES

The Nevada Legislature FASTENED to
get on the band wagon at its initial
session yesterday. Preceding all reg
ular business, Assembly joint resolu-
ton No /, ratifying the proposed pro-
hibition amendment to the constitu-
tion of the United States, was passed
by beth house. Under the rules, it
was said, the resolution would have
to take the same course as bill, and
this facts seemed not to be thoroughly
understood by the solons, and the
House took recess at 1:42 pm. with
the matter of ratification still in the
air. The tangle was Strengthened out
at the afternoon session, however,
and the resolution was passed with
the dissenting vote of l.. X. Gregory of
Washoe, and sent to the Senate, where
it received favorable action.
Just prior to the noon recess, Paul
j. Ross of Washoe called the atten-
ton of the House to the fact that the
Legislature was not organized at the
time of the handling of the ratification
resolution. He said the House had
not yet notified the Senate that it was
ready for business, nor received such
notice from that body.
1t was stated that the Legislature
could work under the rules of the
former session until new rules were
formulated. The. speaker held other
wise and declared the body to be
without rules at this time. The rati-
fication resolution was introduced by
Lockhart (Republcan1 of White Pine.
Following the report of the commit
tee on credentials and the announce
ment that "All's WELL" the question
of the speakership came up Chand-
Ter of White Pine was placed in NOM
ination by Baird and Fitzgerald was
nominated by Richards. The vote re-
suited 20 to Is in favor of Fitzgerald,
the two nominees not voting. The
new speaker expressed his gratitude
to the House and promised to rule inn
passionately and to the best of his
ability.
