Nevada RANGES
Being Depleted

The most important agricultural
resources of Nevada-its grazing land
lis rapidly being depleted. This is
an alarming condition: but 1t is also
one of those problems which is SO apt
to be put off to some future time for
an answer, says the Phoebe Record
This week the range is in excellent
condition; and II so easy TO let next
week take care of ITSELF
C. E. Flemming of the Nevada agri-
cultural experiment station, who is at
the head of the department of range
management, in reporting on range
conditions during 1918 uses the fol-
lowing thoughtful language, which
should be spread throughout the state
and the suggested improvement appii-
ed to the local problems:
'ln series of lonv trips over the
state to learn the most important of
the grazing problems | covered, in
hurled and general way, practically
all the livestock ranges within the
state. ! found that on all ranges Wis
tied, with hardly an exception, the
carrying capacity had been materially
reduced by overstocking and grazing
at the wrong time of the year. due to
unregulated use. These trips car
ried me over the summer ranges and
over the desert areas used almost ex-
clusively for winter grazing of sheep;
and everywhere | found the effects of
lack of legal control Because of the
absence of any guiding hand and the
free help yourself system, the graz
ing grounds of Nevada, its most i'm
portant agricultural resource, are rap
idly being depleted This unregulated
grazing has in many places killed out
all the valuable and palatabe plants,
leaving the range practically denuded
of all forage of economic Importance y

Costly Launch
Burns at Tahoe


The Consuella, a 100000 launch,
burned at the waters edge at Tahoe
City Saturday morning. The launch
was owned by a Mr. Newhall, who
purchased il from young Teyis some
years ago.
Workmen were engaged in over
hauling the launch ait the boat-house
near Tahoe City. In some manner
the boat caught fire. the flames
spreading so rapidly that all efforts
to check them failed
The Consuella was the finest launch
on Lake Tahoe and is said to have

The storage facilities of the La

the fullest by the 18th of the present
month. according to project officials.
says the Fallon Standard. With the
water flowing over the spillways $780,
900 acre feet will be impounded and
of this maximum amount ESQ, 900 acre
feet were retained yesterday morning,
when the water had reached within
81 feet of the spillways. The daily
intake is now about seven thousand
acre feet. inclusive of the flow receiv-
ed from the Truckee river, which suf-
fees to raise the water level about
one-fourth Of foot each "a hours.
1t is fiyrued that water will be dis
charged over the spillways on or
about June 18th for the first time in
the five seasons ther eservoir has been
used for impounding purposes.
The irrigated lands served from
the reservoir supply in the Fallon
unit total about s7.70o acres. and it
Is figured that the average per acre
season requirement is seven acre
feet, which allows for evaporation
and other forms of wastage. Allow
ing for the normal flow from the Car
son and Truckee watersheds the res
ervoir will have considerable storage
on hand at the conclusion of the 1919
irrigation season which will be car
ried over for next seasons uses.
Used first in 1915 the Lahontan
reservoir supply has been maintained
economically with the exception Of
last year when 10000 acre feet cf
water was wasted in order to allow
the repairing of the control gates.

WINNERS Of
GERMAN LIDS"

The Treasury Department of the
United States gave 10 German helmets
to the Douglas County Council of De-
Tense to be awarded to the Victory
Loan bond buyers of this county. In
order to give all an equal chance in
securing one of the German head
gears, a number was placed in a box
TOR every $50 bond purchased. For
instance If you held 500 worth of
bonds. you had two numbers in the
box and so on. The drawing was
held Tuesday at the office of Director
Montrose. Il, Christensen. II. c. Walk
er. Mrs Montrose and b. Selkirk be-
ing present. The numbers were
given a thorough mixing and after be-
ing bindfolded, II. c. Walker drew
the following numbers and checking
them up on the original list after the
tenth number has been drawn, the
following were found to be the lucky

There is a little history connected
with the taking OF the helmets from
the enemy. Last year when IL seemed
certain that the Germans would
march into Paris, the Kaiser wanted
his men all dolled mp for the great
event Thousands of these helmets
were sem up to the front and stored
IN large armory. But other things
were happening. While the Kaiser
was getting his new hats ready. the
boys IN khaki were getting their guns
ready Just at a time when defeat of
the Allies seemed certain, the Amer
lean BOYS stepped into the fight and
turned the tide This is how the
helmets came TO the United States in
stead of to Paris.
