TOO MUCH CATTLE
RUST[|NG IN STATE

Some effective method of putting an
end to cattle rustling on the ranges of
Nevada was discussed at the annual
meeting of the Nevada Livestock As
sociation. which convened in the
agricultural building at the university
of Nevada Thursday morning.
That there is considerable cattle
rustling going on in the state was the
opinion expressed by several prom
inent cattle men and it was decided
that rigid enforcement of the present
laws against cattle stealing would
put an end to the trouble.
A committee consisting of Walter
Bell, Richard Cowles, George ].
Kenna. w. A. Keddie and C. A. Laing
was appointed to take up the ques-
tion and report back to the associa-
ton.
Governor Boyle did not attend the
meeting Thursday and the tax and
range control questions, which are
the big questions before the conven-
tion were not taken up at the morn
ing session, pending the arrival of the
governor. Representatives of the rail-
roads were present at the afternoon
session on Thursday and a committee
of live stock men was appointed to
confer with them and report back to
the convention what the railroads
were willing to do to relieve the car
shortage.
President Clark of the university
welcomed the live stock men in
short talk.
Range livestock will also be one of
the features of the program for the
stockmen who are attending the meet
ings of the farmers and homemakers'
week. A representative from the
forest service will head the discus
sion on range management and DR..
Records, director of the state yeter-
mary control service, will also give
talk. d. Dobbs and DR.. Lockett will
address the gathering on animal dis
eases. while Mr.. Metcalf and Director
Norcross will lead discussions on
problems of open range control.
The addresses before the home
makers netting will come under the
head of child welfare, with Mrs.
Saide Hurst acting as chairman

JURY LIST REFUSED
BY COUNTY CLERK

Asked today how the matter OF
Humboldt county's list of trial jurors
stood. County Clerk Davey said he
had refused to recognize list given
to him by District Attorney Powell
because 1t was his opinion the names
were selected in irregular manner
when the county commissioners met
early this month. The matter was
brought to head when formal pro-
test was filed yesterday. signed by all
except three attorneys of this city,
those three being absent at the pres
ent time, which protest is hereafter
printed in full. and explains the cause
of Clerk Davey's refusal to accept the
list. Davey says the matter will be
brought to the attention OF District
Judge Callahan, who will probably
indicate what is to be done in the
matter The protest follows:
ITO J. w. Dayey, County Clerk:
1t has come to the knowledge OF the
undersigned attorneys-at-law, prac-
ticing In Humboldt county, Nevada,
that the trial jury list for the year
1920 was made up in an irregular
manner, in that the county commits
.aoners did not select the same al
their usual meeting place In the Of
flee of the county clerk from the quail
flied electors of Humboldt county, but
retired to the office of Attorney
Powell, another practicing attorney
in this county, at the time they pre-
tended to select the jury list; that
the county clerk was not present, and
that the names on said list were not.
at the time OF their selection, written
on separate slips of paper and de-
posted in the jury box; that the said
Attorney Powell presented to the
county commissioners, at his office,
a list which he had prior to that time.
prepared as the jury list, and on in
formation we state that such list so
prepared by Attorney Powell was ac-
cepted by the county commissioners
as the jury list for the ensuing year ;
that prior to the acceptance of such
list no order. as required by law. was
made by the county commissioners
fixing the number of jurors to be Sc
lected by the commissioners.
"In our judgment such list thus
pretended to be selected by the com
missioners, on account of these and
other irregularities. was illegally and
unlawftllly selected and the names
appearing on such list should not be
placed in the jury box as the legally
selected Jurors.
I'VE. therefore. object to your ac-
cepting the names appearing on such
pretended list as the jurors. and we
demand that you shall refrain from
placing such names or any thereof in
the jury box for the ensuing year to
be drawn as jurors for the trial of
cases In Humboldt county.

$25OO ROBBERY WAS
MADE LAST NIGHT

A daring robbedy of Z. J. Oliverius
mems furnishing store and tailoring
shop occurred last night or early this
morning which netted the burglar or
burglars about $500 worth of cloth
ing and shoes. They gained entrance
to the store by forcing one of the win
dows in the rear of the lower floor.
At least twenty pairs of mems shoes,
valued at about $3.50, and three dozen
silk shirts of like value we're taken,
in addition to three hats, neckties,
underwear and other things. Oil
verius estimates his loss in merchan-
disc to be in the neighborhood of
$1,000, including new suits and over
coats just finished More than twenty
suits of clothing and several over
coats. belonging to patrons and in the
shop for cleaning and pressing, are
estimated by Oliverius to be worth
$500.
Sheriff Springer. Deputy Sheriff
Smith and Constable Moore were on
the ground early this morning. but il
was said this afternoon no arrests
had been made and nothing new had
developed in the case.
Mr.. and Mrs. Oliverius reside di-
rectly over the store and that the
robbedy could be committed without
awakening them is considered re
markable. 1t is Oliverius' opinion
that the robbery was committed aboui
o'clock this morning. At that time
Mrs. Oliverius arose to feed their
younger infant, dropping and break
ing the bottle of milk she had pre-
pared. Oliverius also is of opinion
this frightened the robbers away an
probably saved much more of hi
stock. as ii is apparent, because OF
the volume of goods taken, that the
robbers were using an automobile or
truck.
No cash was secured by the robbers
although an effort had apparently
been made to open the safe. Fourteen
dollars in change. left in an open
drawer in the cash register, was not
taken.
Familiarity with the store and stock
seemed to mark the operations of
the robbers. And they also knew
what clothing was of greatest value
because all of the suits he'd been
picked over and only the best were
taken. The same applied in the mat
ter of the three dozen shirts-only
the best silk materials were chosen
and shirts of SO and less value were
scattered on the floor. A whole show
case stand of neckties were taken,
and even the three hats were picked
from the stock with care. The shoes
taken were chosen from different
parts of the stock and sizes six, seven
and one-half and nine seemed to be
the only ones desired. Only collars
Of fifteen and one-half size were
taken.
Ladders were used in climbing over
the tin fence in the rear of the shop.
The only clues left were pair of
overshocs. apparently worn by one of
the burglars. a piece of cotton rope
and newspaper addressed to a local
man, but who is not suspicioned of
the crime.

MORE ABOUT GRASS
VALLEY IRRIGATION

Further correspondence in regard
to the irrigation project started by
Newton Hibbs in Grass Valley, south
of this city. was published in yes
terday's issue of the Reno Gazette
l.. H. Taylor of that city answering a
letter written by Mr.. Hibbs and re-
printed heretofore in The Silver State
The latest letter in the controversy
concerning how much underground
water is available in Grass Valley
follows:
To the Editor of the Gazette:
have read with interest Mr.. Newton
Hibbs' article relative to his Grass
Valley irrigation project in your is
sue of January 19. My letter, pub
lished in a previous issue of the Ca
zette was condemnatory of project
for irrigating 10000 acres of land in
that valley from underground waters,
but demonstrated by irrefutable fig
ures that such water supply would
possibly be adequate for from 5000
to 1000 acres.
The question OF cost will, of course
be governing factor, and since Mr.
Hibbs is handling this with his own
funds, that is no other persons busi-
ness.
l do want to take issue, however,
with his statement that the volume
of the precipitation in the state of Ne
vada amounts ito 200,000.000 acre
feet of water" and that "all of this
is received and retained by under
ground reservoirs
The area of the state is in round
numbers, 110,700 square miles. or TO-
$4,000 acres. To produce 100000
900 acre feet of water. an average
precipitation of 1897 inches on this
entire area would be required

cally all federal government data on
the water supply of Nevada. con-
siderable part of which / collected,

ords for eighty stations in all parts
of the state, at attitudes varying from
100 to 5000 feet above sea level,
show a mean annual precipitation of
8.95 inches. This would yield 52,S40,-
900 acre-feet of water or little over
one fourth of the quantity mentioned
by Mr. Hibbs, and but a very small
part of it ever finds it way into un-
derground reservoirs.
Here in Reno, early in December
last, we had a snowfall of over thirty
inches, equal to three inches depth of
water. This is now gone and yet the
ground is absolutely dry at two feet
feet below the surface.
/ want to say in conclusion, how
ever. that if half million acre-feet
of underground water is ever re-
covered by pumping and flowing
wells. we shall irrigate from 10000
to 100000 acres of land with it, and
this in my judgment is entirely with
in the possibilities of the future.

 General Wood advocated careful training of consular officers to the offices of which would be attached trained commercial agents.
 The sale or lease of American shipping built during the war, to American firms only, in order that the merchant marine built up might be kept under the American flag also was urged by the speaker.
 General Wood reiterated that he favored adoption of the treaty of peace and the league of nations covenant with reservations (which Americanize it," and a strong courte- ous foreign policy which would in clude trade policy

XXXVI-A Word of Warning.

But Pm willing to wait longer for the money, Alice,' Tony was remarking, as he took the diamond bracelet Hang it all, this sort of thing does make q fellow feel d fool!'
 Alice's reply was quite inaudlble But her face looked hard and set. At that moment 1 could see she had no love for Master Tony
 Then she looked up, and caught my eye.
 Hello, Helene! Waiting for us, eh ?" She flushed nervously. "1 was just giving Tony my wrist watch to have it mended. He's taking it up to town tonight. Isn't that so, Tony?"
 "I hadn't planned on going to town tonight" said Tony sulkily. Within a few minutes, Alice and l were seated in her small car, and bowling swiftly towards Anstruther Lodge.
 "Travis Lloyd is coming to dine with us tonight" She tried to in fuse lightness into her tones that I knew was very far from feeling "You'll have to entertain him, Hel- ene-for I feel so tired"
 "Match- making again?" l laughed aloud. I know that Alice had g worry on her mind, and l felt sorry for her. The tableau with Tony had proved significant; Alice was in his power-and foolishly becom ing more entangled every day. The story as to having the wrist water mended was, of course, a fabrication Either the young man was selling tho jewelry for Alice or he intended t( keep the proceeds for himself, a' payment of Alce's gambling debts. Il Whichever way one took 1t, th' interpretation wasn't pretty. "Is Tony coming to dinner to night?" volunteered at last, as WI skidded round corner. Il Don't talk to me of Tony. Tn sick and tired of him." Alice's smal foot touched the accelerator, and W , shot forward at an alarming speed "Pm sick of everything!" I refrained judiciously1 from com
 ment. Alice in this mood is not a easy proposition.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, March l2.-Cotton made strong advances today after the selling of the early hours ha. spent itself, and the main reason fol the advance was the continued un- favorable weather in the belt, al though considerable bullish sentl- ment was aroused around the middle of the day by the rumor that com promise had been reached in the senate on the peace treaty. The high est levels were reached following the posting of mill takings for the week of 262, ,000 bales against 162,000 this week last year. Last prices were A to 19 points over yesterdays fin als.
 Exports were lower just enough to cause considerable comment and some little buying, shipments for the day amounting to 15,061 bales against 56,235 this day last year, while exports for the week amounted to 222,928 bales against 144,552 this week last year. Spots were marked up 25 points to 4 cents for middling which is the high level for the season on spots.

 The continued large exports ana reports of better prospects for act lon on the peace treaty were also factors on the advance.
