RECORDS GROWTH OF TREE
Apparatus Known as the "Dendo-
graph" Does Useful Work In Gar
den Of New York Park.

A maple tree In the Botanical gar
dens Of Bronx park In New York is
the subject Of very interesting ex-
pertinent. 1t is being used in test of
the dendrograph, an apparatus for
recording the growth Of tree.
To a casual observer the tree ap-
pears to be merely the central sup
port Of wire cage, such as might be
used for housing some small animal,
and many visitors possibly approach
1t with that In mind. There are four
square walls of wire and roof which
meets the tree trunk above.
A closer look reveals that there are
no animals or birds, although some
thing that looks somewhat like bird
house Is attached to bracket at one
side. This in reality Is the little tin
house or cover Of the recording drum
Of the dendrograph. Other parts OF
the apparatus are the collar and belt
of blocks which encircle the tree and
the recording rod which marks the
trees growth on the cylinder. The

cation, in an effort to force hearing
of protests.
"This project pertains to livestock
for the reason that with 10000
acres of alfalfa growing near this
city this would become an enormous
winter feeding ground, and Winnie
mucca would become city of at
least 10000 population. Whether
or not anything is to come of the
plan remains to be seen, but it is
well worth looking into.
"One other thing vitality affecting
livestock and community betterment
is taxation. 1t has been said that
you can drive more people away
with taxation than by any other
means. For two years sheep and
cattle have been excessively taxed
On sheep a valuation of So pei
head has been set, when at one time
they were not actually worth more
than SIS, and old ewes were sold
for as little as $3.50. But upon all
of this stock the sheepman has to
pay taxes at the rate of So head
The same situation applies to cat
tie. In cities you are assessed at
perhaps so per cent of actual value.
If you have house worth $4,000 il
is assessed for $500. Reverse that
situation and have it assessed at
double it's value, or $4,000, and
you'd have kick coming. This is
matter that must be adjusted.
Conditions during the coming
two years look very bright. In
fact matters have never looked as
good, with plenty of water assured,
good feed, quantities of hay carried
over, price commanded by livestock.
We have nothing to complain
about"

Trapped by the heavy fa]

Trapped by the heavy fall of
snow three weeks ago, many sheep
near the Pine Nut range, south of
Gardnerville, persisted before they
could be moved to better feeding
grounds, according to Hubert Ray
craft, who returned to Carson after
being lost in the Pine Nut country.
Raycraft, who rode horseback to
carry supplies from Gardnerville to
wood cutter on the range, report
ed that dead sheep were found every
20 or 80 feet over the road he trav-
eled. The snow showed marks
where sheepherders had dragged
trees along the way to make paths
for the animals, but a great many
became exhausted, dropped in the
snow, and were left to die.

ASSA|LANT GETS
10-YR. SENTENCE
MAN WHO ATTACKED SENATOR
OF NEVADA LAST MARCH
is SENT TO PRISON

Charles A. Crock, aged sixty-five
years, who last March shot and
wounded former Senator Charles
b. Henderson of Nevada, was sen.
fenced to ten years Imprisonment
by Chief Justice Mccoy in the
District of Columbia supreme court
An appeal was noted and the &C.
cused was committed to Jail in de-
fault of $4,000 bail.
Senator Henderson was shot while
in the senate office building, the
bullet taking effect in his arm. The
affair was said to have been the re-
suit of a grudge of long standing
Crock held Senator Henderson re-
sponsible for financial reverses he
encountered in sheep ranch
venture in Canada and subsequent
inquiry into his sanity.
= Crock discharged his attorney at
the trial table and argued a motion
for new trial, asserting that his
conviction by jury of an assault
to kill Senator Henderson was il
legal. He accused his lawyer of
collision with the government
prosecutor, declaring that Chief of
Detectives Grant had kidnapped him
and kept him in the asylum for
thirty-three days.
The accused also charged the
chief justice with bias, asserting
that the court had been influenced
by the fact that Senator Henderson
once introduced bill to increase
the salary of the chief justice.
The defense at the trial had been
insanity, but DR.. d. Percy Hickling,
District of Columbia alienist, while
stating that Crock was a paranoiac,
declared him legally responsible for
his acts. Crock had been confined
in an insane asylum in Nevada some
years ago, it was testified.
