Government Report
on Lehman'S Cave

BY a proclamation of President
Harding. signed January "a, a 593-
acre tract in the Nevada national
forest was set aside as the Lehman
| Caves national monument, says the
United States agricultural department
| press service bulletin. For twenty
five years these caves have been
known locally, and for some time in
dividuals have been trying to gain
| control of them. but the action of
the chief executive retains them safe
ly for all the people and prevents the
destruction of the many objects OF
scenic and scientific value. The area
remains a part of the national forest,
but the monument a be used for
no purposes that interfere with its
preservation as a national monument
1t is the eleventh national monument
to be established in a national forest
and the first one in Nevada.
The act providing for the preser-
walton of such areas, that of June 3,
1906, authorizes the president, in his
discretion, to declare by public
proclamation to be public monuments
historic landmarks, historic and pre-
historic structures and other objects
of historic or scientific interest that
are situated upon lands owned by the
government. The establishment Of
a monument prevents the removal of
any objects of interest except under
the authority of the secretary of agri-
culture.
The Lehman V are six miles
west of Baker. White Pine county,
Nevada, at the base of Mount Wheel
er and at an elevation of 1900 feet.
They are in a light gray and white
limestone formation on the eastern
slope of the mountain. They con-
tain s~talactites and stalagmites, col
umns and galleries of rare beauty
that have inspired the people of the
locality to apply to the various parts
of the caves such fanciful names as
the Pearly Gates. the Cypress Swamp,
the Portiere. Liberty Column, the
Parachutes, Washington's Column.
Palace of the Gods. P~ygmalion and
Galatea 1.-TWO columns). Cathedral of
Rest. Eagles Gate, the Snow Queen OF
the Underworld, Angels Wing, Lin
coin Column and Niagara Falls.
Residents of the nearby region long
ago blasted out an entrance and built
stairways. The government will
make such improvements as are
necessary. for the convenience of tour
lists who wish to visit the monument.

Years Road Projects
Would Gudle Earth

Eleven thousand nine hundred and
thirty miles of federal-aid roads were
constructed under the joint supervis-
ion of the federal government and
the states during 1921, according to
reports of the bureau of public roads
of the United States department of
agriculture. Federal money amount
ing to s94,057,0S9 was allotted TO
these roads, the total cost of which
was $231,963, $50. In this mileage
there is included $685. miles in pro-
jects wholly completed and the equiv
alent Of 1896 miles of work done
on projects which are not wholly
completed. Every state shared in the
benefits of this work.
The projects under way during the
year amounted to 31,228 miles. which
was about one-half of ali the road
work carried on in the United States
during the year. A fair idea of the
magnitude of the road work done In
der the supervision of the depart
ment of agriculture last year may be
gained when II is understood that the
total mileage is considerably more
than enough to encircle the earth,
and that Ii Is equal to more than 10
per cen of all the improved roads
previously existing in the United
States, and that 1t Is equal to nearly
8 per cent of the entire road system
OF France. At this rate we would be
able to build the equivalent oil
Frances entire road system In l.
years.

COUNTY AGENT KING
WRITES TO FARMERS

County Agent Thomas King has IS
sued the following letter to the farm
ers of White Pine county:
Mr.. Rancher: Dear Friend-Farm-
ers since the time of Adam have been
a bunch of 'Horny-handed sons of
toll. The u. 5. department OF agri-
culture, University of Nevada, and
White Zine county farm bureau CO.
operating. are trying TO alter this
condition in White Pine county. II
Is not the aim of the department to
put white collars and kid gloves on
the ranchers, but to help them to pro-
duce more and better crops and live
stock, and market these products with
an equal or less amount of labor than
they now use.
The Lord helps those who help
themselves. IL you ask for informa-
ton or help we will do our best to
give ii to you For a number of
years the U. S. department of agricul-
ture has employed hundreds of ex-
perts on the study of ranch problems.
ranging from clearing the land to
the production of crops and their
marketing. The results of the work
of these men is available in the form
of government bulletins. Ask for
them and get them.
There will be government experts
on the following subjects in White
Pine county this year: Horticulture,
dairying. dairy cattle. beef cattle.
poultry, sanitation. child welfare.
These experts will lecture, give field
demonstrations and render personal
service. If you have problems or de-
sire information on any of these SUBJ
iects make your wants known at
once. for their time in this county is
limited and the work must be laid
out beforehand.
"Your county agent is an engineer
with fifteen years experience and
technical training. and he can and
will help you personally in engineer
ing matters. He will also see that
you get help on any other farm prob
lens which you may have. He is here
to render service. Give him some
thing to do.
THE service aforementioned is all
free of charge. Make your wants
known by a personal call on the oun
ty agent at his Office in the county
courthouse or by a letter addresses to

Wool Price Conditions
Reported as Favorable

Both foreign and domestic wool
markets continued firm with sharp
rises during the past month and
heavy buying not only in foreign
markets but in contracting for ter
ritory woods i'm Il own country, says
the Nevada Stockgrower.
Wooden mills in this country are
active. production having increased
toward the end of 1921 to as high
a point as reached In 1919 and with
a 12e per cent increase of December
IL, 1921, as compared with Deem
Der, 1920.
The government wool sale held at
Boston on February 2 of seven mil
lion pounds, was reported a big sue
cess. with spirited bidding of a 100
per cent cleanup and a price ad-
vance averaging rs per cent over the
January sale. But four and one-half
million pounds of wool remain In
government hands, which Is to be
auctioned on March 2, closing the
government out of the wool business
A noted Scottish wooden mill man,
now in the United States, and who
has recently toured the wool pro-
ducing sections of Africa, South
America, Australia and New Zealand,
says the reports of immense stocks
OF wool have been exaggerated, that
there Is only a moderate supply of
high grade woods in the world; that
consumption of high grade woods
throughout the world today exceeds
production by several hundred thou
sand pounds, and predicts a fine wool
shortage in two years.
Mid-January Boston papers began
frankly admitting a wool boom was
on Western growers were report
ing as holding for 81 cents, with buy
ers disinclined to go above 20 cents.
During the week of January 16 a
big sale of western Idaho woods was
made at Portland at prices from 20
to 80 "a cents; 3-8 going at 27-2S
cents. In the January 10 Boston
dispatches fine staple woods were
quoted for first time since the latter
part OF 1900 at 81 per pound clean.
January 23 saw the long-waited-
for opening of the American Wooden
Mills fall lines of mems year goods,
and contrary to forecasts by dealers
that an advance In price would be
seen, caused by the recent jump in
wool prices, a reduction Of from s
to 10 per cent was announced over
last years prices.
January 26 Boston reports began
announcing contracting In Nevada at
as high as 81 cents for the 1922 clip.
