This Is strong working commit
tee OF representative citizens of the
county and much good is anticipated
from the efforts they will undoubt-
edly put forth. The plan before the
committee is understood to be the
gathering Of data as to the number
OF valleys in the county susceptible
TO irrigation. the number of acres in
each, the condition of the soil, the
probable crops it will produce, and
such other information as will help
to induce the interior department to
recommend to congress that one or

included in the governments schem,
Of reclamation.
This information will be laid be-
fore Nevada's representatives in con-
gress as well as before Secretary

Those who understand the plans Of
the government for reclaiming arid
land are convinced that once LIN.
coin county's claims are put before
the proper authorities there is nc
question but that at least cn.. valley
In this district will be among ,he
first projects to receive attanti III un.
der the proposed law.

Pioche's burros are to be gathered
in by Sheriff Roeder. A charge of
trespass has been lodged against
them. In tantrum Mrs. OLeary's S
lone COW kicked over a lamp, there
by destroying the city of Chicago.
Nothing was done to her. But now
that five innocent little burros see
fit to appease their gnawing appe-
tites by devouring the contents OF a
neighbor's clothesline they are to be
jailed, just like ordinary criminals.
This is an ignominious end after
their laudable work of ridding the
town Of all of its old tin cans and
assisting Charley Thompson in the
task of clearing his billboards of the
evidence of past-and future-per-
fOrmances.
The animals will be lonesome
lot, as Pioches jail has not bee,.
tenanted since the memorable 18th
OF December, 1918. They will prob
ably make as much noise in the
early morning hours as did former
tenants, but as they have no friends
this will gain them nothing.
Who wants five alarm clocks
Will someone pay the damages ano
release the little pe(s)ts from the
clutches of the law?
II they long remain in durance
vile in close proximity to the Noun
tain view It will be incumbent upor
the peace officers to procure five
large boulders and connect then
with five small tails. There are
enough musical felines in thai
neighborhood to disturb the peaceful
slumbers Of at least one sleepyhead
