THE PIE COUNTER BATTLE

Round m in the fight for the pie

the Reno Journal.
Victor Rosewater's defeat for first
assistant postmaster general leaves
National committeeman and State
chairmen gasping for air, while their
trainers are trying hard to get them
back into shape for another round.
When II became apparent that Sem
ator George w. Norris Of Nebraska,
from which State Rosewater was for
years Republican National commit
teeman, would not consent to Rose
waters confirmation. and It was cer-
tain that the Senate was prepared to
90 down In the last ditch on the Rose
water case. It was clear that a deci-
cion battle was to be fought. 1t has
been fought. like many political bat
tie, in secret. 1t has been won by the
Senate and Mr.. Hays asks the Presi-
dent to name another man than Rose

A campaign of land development is
about to be inaugurated N Diamond
Valley. which is adjacent to Eureka,
Nevada, the County seat of Eureka
County.
Diamond Valley comprises an i'm
mense acreage of rich agricultural
Government land. the extent Of which
can be understood more readily by
saying It cover an area of ten miles
wide by fifty miles long and lies be-
tween two high ranges of mountains.
From tests recently made 1t Is esti-
mated water can be had in abundance
close to the surface and that the arte-
sian supply will be tapped at from
900 to 500 feet.
More than $4,000 acres of this land
has been applied for. and a strenuous
campaign of development is now be-
ing started toward its development.
The Eureka Brokerage and Invest
ment Company. which last Fall inter-
ested a score of San Francisco people.
has its surveyors on the land and is
assembling material and drilling APP
paratus to sink twenty we'll s and
plant this land according to require
ments of the Pittman land bill.
All this development will be done
on the cooperative basis, with high
class power drilling rigs, tractors,
sagebrush cutters. etc. This devel-
opment will be in charge Of a CON-
petent and efficient management,
which will have the assistance of Gov
eminent officials on plans of develop
ment.
F. T. Torpey, who is general mana
ger of the Eureka-Uncle Sam Consol-
idated mine, at Eureka, is enthusi-
astic on the land development enter
prise of Diamond Valley. He is now
Reno, and states that, in his esti-
nation, no greater benefit can be
done the County of Eureka and the
whole sagebrush State than to bring
this fertile land into production. He
considers the land a veritable gift to
those who have the faith and courage
to invest in securing a parcel of this
land. under the Pittman Act. and pre-
diets that within five years Diamond
Valley lands will blossom like a rose
with the adequate intelligent expend-
iture Of capital and labor.

LAND FARMER
SUMS UP SITUATION

The following is from the facile
pen of a western America irrigated
land farmer who is SO capable in
summation that his effort is repro
duced for the benefit of those who
have been similarly buffeted about
by a financial storm and. like this
particular narrator. had no anchor to
windward:
The slump hit me such a wallop
that 1t almost knocked meout. Things
have been breaking pretty easy for
us out here during the past four
years, long enough at any rate to
make us careless and forgetful. APP
p~arently none of US was prepared for
the Jolt. Lack of forward looking is
what put us in the predicament In
which we found ourselves. AS l
see things now l must have been
plumb crazy not to have banked on
what happened and fortified myself
against this evil day. Looking back
over 80 years Of a fairly successful
farming career, I a recall other re-
actions comparable with this and l
guess II / live long enough I'll see
others. This isn't the first time farm
ers have had to face unsatisfactory
markets, financial losses, and no mon
ey from the banks, not by a long shot.
OF course, we all squeal about 1t. but
although we emit the calamity wall
vo~ciferously we regard 1t as u right
and privilege to "holler," but you'll
observe we are not cutters. I've de-
cided after all that things might have
been worse. / realized that fact most
clearly after my last visit to the city.
Seems to me / never saw so many
men out of work. When ! saw that
bunch of poor devils walking the
cold streets manhandling everyone
for a meal and then remembered my
comfortable home with its cellar
stocked with plenty to eat, things no
longer looked so dark. Back home
again surrounded by my family, all
lusty and well fed, l anne to the con-
clusion that the thing for me to do
was to buck up and get to planning
for this years business. OF course,
| know things are rotten, but then
they might be worse, you know. We
farmers, as I see 1t, have got to take
up our burdens and get in the collar
again. The world needs US a little
longer, and hanging out mourning
for past mistakes and troubles will
o get us anywhere. But let me tell
you this, old man. I'm not going to
be caught again all spread out like /
was this time. I'm going to salt away
a nest egg for just such an occasion
as the one which hit me in 1920"

NIGHT EXPERIENCE
N SUNDAYS BLIZZARD

Tonopah Times: Miss Helene Du-
gan, daughter Of Mrs Ellen McNa-
mara, and Miss Julia Richmond niece
of Mrs. Jack Klinger. together with
william Mendes of Duckwater, had
an experience Sunday night they VIII
not soon forget. The three young
people were caught in the blizzard
that swept the desert Sunday night
and we're compelled to camp" all
night about rs miles from Tonopah.
They believe they had a miraculous
escape from freezing to death, as the
night was one Of the coolest expert
enced in southern Nevada in years.
The two young women and Mr..
Mendes left Tonopah Saturday after
noon In a Ford roadster for Hot
Creek, where they spent Sunday.
Leaving there Sunday evening at 8
O'Clock for Tonopah, they first en-
countered the storm at Warm Springs.
Pulling in there nearly frozen. they
secured a blanket from /. M. Hens
ley, and then continued on their way
here.
The storm came upon them in all
its fury after they had left Clark's
station, 35 miles from Tonopah. AT
ter they had gone about 10 miles
from Clark's Mendes found 1t impos-
sible TO see the road on account Of
the snow, and the car shot of the
highway, throwing Miss Dugan clear
of the machine. The three managed
to get the Ford back on the road and
the trip was continued, with little
Roadway being made. Finally the
a made one last, sudden dash from
the road and went over the grade
with a final bark from its motor. The
wind was terrific and the three trav-
elers, chilled through, finding that 1t
was impossible to proceed further,
proceeded to make the best of atough
situation. Mendes had but M match
left and with this he lighted Miss Du-
gan's kid gloves, soaked in gasoline,
and managed to start a small sage
brush fire. They took turns the rest
of the night lowering about the feeble
blaze and gathering brush.
At daybreak the young people, af-
ter an Herculean effort, managed to
get the motor started and the ma
chine free of the ditch where it had
settled the night before.
They pulled in at the Antonniazzi
ranch. in SALISBURY wash. about $50.
and there they were given food and
made comfortable. 1t was not until
noon that they ventured to resume
their journey, and 2 o'clock Monday
afternoon found them in Tonopah.
