FIRE DESTROYS IS TONS
OF HAY AT LAMO1LLE


Sixty-fve tons of hay, several tons
of barley and oats and a number OF
grain sacks, a stacking machine and
a buck rake comprise the loss to Geo
Henen. well-known Lamoille Valley
ranchman, in an evening blaze which
occurred at his place last Saturday
night. The origin of the blaze Is un-
Known. but Hennen says 1t was
probably either the result OF a olga
rette stub being bucked into the mid
die of the stack and left to shoulder
or it was of incendiary origin. A
stacking machine and buck rake were
a total loss. Mr.. Hennen states that
II will cost him in the neighborhood
Of three thousand dollars to replace
the damage. His loss OF hay was the
hardest to sustain, as he states tnat
his hay crop was short this year.

FREIGHT ROBBERY
THIS SIDE OF ElK0

Seven box cars loaded with valu-
able merchandise were broken into
while standing on a siding at Avanei'
a station fifteen miles west of Elko.
recently. From indications
ing the robbery railway officials are
inclined to believe that an organized
gang of box car thieves is at work
In that section of the country. This
il the second theft of extraordinary
size to occur this month while num-
berless smaller ones are reported TO
the railway people every day, says
the Independent.
The thieves who robbed the
cars at Ayanel were evidently looking
for a particular commodity which IS
believed to have been sugar In this
instance. But In their search TOT
sugar they did not refrain from tax
ing a quantity of shoes, clothing and
other dry goods while a large amount
of groceries of various descriptions
we're also missed. The loss to the
company in this case will approx
mate more than a thousand dollars so
far as present estimates are known.

ELKO MAKING CLEAN-CP
OF TRAMP ELEMENT

The Elko officers are conducting Q
general cleanup of hoboes. No, not
with soap and water, says the indie
pendent. for from the looks OF these
unwelcome visitors that task would
he almost the equal of cleaning out
the Aegean Stables. But when one
of these fellows hits Elko he is asked
whether he wants work. Almost IN
variably the answer is no, for all
of them seem to be well supplied with
funds. The directions then are to
make tracks and the esuit is ina

who remain very long. III a Few

suaded to cooperate. Elko would
have even less of the tramp species.

Nearly a score of drug fiends of va
rious descriptions dropped off in E1ko
last Sunday and Constable Cotant
a kept busy during the entire
day rounding them up and getting
them out of town. On every one of the
unwelcome visitors was found what
the drug man calls a "gun," which is
a hypodermic with which he shoots
the dream stuff into his veins. From
the time they stepped off their var
ious "side-door Pullmans," these fell
lows were busy searching the town
for cocaine. opium, morphine or any
other description of drug that might
serve their purpose. One by n the
officers saw them off on departing
trains, for II there is one menace to

made, a fellow named Farley, who

evident attempt to evade service in
the army, but was placed in the SER

INDIANS IN ELKO PUBLIC
SCHOOLS CAUSE DISCORD

Discord over the attendance of In
dian children with white pupils in
the E1ko grammar school is arising,
according to the Independent. Pur-
suant to the law passed by the last
legislature the school system Of Ne
yada is required to accept Indian
children up to eighteen years of age
as pupils along with white children
and all Indians of the requisite age
living in a district are required to at
tend school. During the last school
year the Elko schools did not accept
Indians as pupils, but this year a diff
ferent attitude has been adopted and
some fifteen are now in attendance.

ATTACKS
CENSUS DIRECTION

AS Nevada people anticipated when
they observed the methods by which
the 1920 census was taken, this state
is credited with a loss of population
by the census bureau says the Reno
Gazette. According to the figures
made public yesterday. in the last
ten years 1t has lost 4468 inhabitants,
and now has a population of but H.
407.
The published figures cannot do
otherwise than injure this state.
With it's vast ~undeveloped resources
Nevada needs new capital and new
citizens 10 develop them, and both
capital and strangers are wary of any
community which is officially branded
with a declining population. 1t had
as we'll be admitted that the handi-
cap is serious, but the fact that all
other evidence points to the highest
character of prosperity will largely
Offset the injury.
II such a thing is ~obtainable, the
Nevada senators should set them
selves to the task of obtaining a
complete new enumeration. Positive
evidence IAN be brought forward by
this community to sustain the charge
that the census was carelessly and
incompletely taken and other COM
munities may be able to make a SINH
lar showing. One or the other of the
two Nevada senators is responsible
for the census administration here,
and the credit is laid at the door of
Senator Henderson.
In spite of the michief that
will result from the official census.
however, Nevada can easily demon
strate that her commercial and indus
trial prosperity was never upon a
better basis, that bank deposits were
never so great, that in the ~decennial
period the number of her school
children increased more than sixteen
per cen In spite Of the alleged de-
cline in population.
1t is unfortunate that a task so
very important to the state was so
lightly regarded. 1t is further evi-
dence of he damage that can be In
ficted by entrusting highly technical
work to inexperienced persons
selected solely for political reasons

RISING EMPIRE
 ON THE COLORADO

. PARKER, Feb. 6.-The work com nenced by the government which will ultimately lead to the reclamation and cultivation of the vast tract of land 'mbraced in the Colorado River Indian reservation, consisting of about 150.- 'o0 acres, is progressing rapidly with every assurance that this fertile tract, now the abode of the coyote and jack rabbit. will ere long be the scene of great agricultural activity.
 The field work of the government surVey for which an appropriation of s104.0O0 was recently made is about completed and the engineers report VIII be ready for submission to con- sress at this session at which time it IS hoped an ample appropriation will be made to put the plans into execu- ton. The report covers al the features of the contemplated project, including aversion weir. main canals. levee and drainage system. typographical and soil survey, together with an estimate Of the cost of the work
 The site for the proposed diversion oam is at Headgate Rock about a mile north of Parker. This is the point which was selected for the intake to a canal constructed by the government away back in 1870. The canal was put through and connections made, but without a weir for controlling the water level of the river, it proved useless ex- cept at short intervals of high water This canal passed through several tunnels, which it was found impossible 10 maintain, and 1t was therefore prac- ucalIy a abandoned in 1876. During the years following many unsuccessful at temptS were made to provide water for irrigation by various metho $, such as water wheels, power pumps. vacuum pumps and small centrifugal pumps until 1912 when the present jumping plant was installed.
 The last of the 5000 acres c. land re- gently released to white settlers was signed up for last week, the entire aceage being leased in tracts varying in sI:e from 40 to GAO acres This added to the 1000 acres already under cultiva- tio1 by the Indians, will make 10000 acres that will be under intensive cuI- iYatIon before the first six months of thIS year will have passed This, how ever, will be only a marker as com pared with what will be doing when the governments plans are fully con- summated.
 In order to meet immediate require- ments the present irrigation system will be extended. While there are all canals necessary to convey water to the tract cultivated by the Indians. ad- ditlonal canals will be required for ir- rigatInS the 5000 acres recently leased 70 White settlers, so to this end S64.- poo contract was awarded last week to O. H. Ellis of Blythe for the extension of this canal system. About 60 head of mules to be used in the work are already on the ground, with more com ing, and actual work will begin in e few days.
