60 YEARS SEES BIG ADVANCE
IN IRRIGATION ARID LANDS

Great progress has been made
in the art of irrigation since the
first crude works built go years ago,
according to the annual report OF
the Bureau of Public Roads, United
States Department of Agriculture.
In 1920 the area irrigated in the
United States amounted to approx
mately 10000, 900 acres and the an
nual gross returns from irrigated
lands is now nearly half a billion
dollars.
In the task of converting so large
an extent of arid lands into highly
productive fields and orchards, the
bureau through its investigation,
has rendered substantial aid. Meth
DDS of applying water to land have
been studied in the principal irri-
CATION sections. Investigations have
also been made of the rise of alkali
and the capacities of drainage
bitches and tiles.
The irrigation district, the report
says, has been rapidly growing in
favor as a form of organization for
arid land or for improy-
ing existing irrigation systems. The
bureau has aided number of west
ern states in perfecting laws relat-
ing to districts, and last year a
careful study was made of the
operation of the irrigation district
law in each Of the states. Much
valuable work has been done by the
bureau in finding the cost of obtain
ing a water supply for arid lands.
Frequently it is less than the farm
er's expense of preparing his land
for irrigation, purchasing equip
ment, and building the necessary
improvements.

NEVADA FuRSIARE
|. / SELLING 1STR0NG

The sale of furs taken from
coyotes, lynxes and other preda-
tory animals trapped and poisoned
by the biological station which is
maintained at Reno by the federal
government, the state and the vari-
Gus counties, is bringing in large
revenues this season, owing to the
high prices being paid for skins by
the fur buyers of the country.
Last week the sum of $4887 was
received from one shipment Of $50
furs, which will be distributed to
the public divisions contributing to
the support Of the station.
Coyote skins form the greatest
source of revenue, 479 of these SELL

T ANGUS NEVADA
TEAM WILL PLAY

The famous Nevada basketball
team of 1920 and 1921 that won
the Pacific coast championship and
brought the attention of the middle
west to Nevada when the same or
ganization played at Kansas City,
will be back in uniform next Fri
day night in the university GYM
nasium.
The announcement that the old
championship squad will meet the
regular Nevada team was made last
night after it was definitely dis
covered that all the old men could
be present.
"Flash" Reed and "Bill" Martin
have been in Reno since their re-
tirement from athletic activities,
and "LOng Tom" Buchanan, the star
center, came to Reno yesterday as
the new Washoe county agricultural
agent.
With Jimmie" Bradshaw, the

the holidays, there was only Noble
Waite, all-coast-forward, left to
complete the quintet.
Members of the championship
team during Nevada's palmy basket
ball days, telephoned Waite last
night at Fallon and asked him if
he could be present.
"Sure, I'll come," he said, and
the gang was again together.
Bradshaw will attend the annual
banquet of the Olympic club in
San Francisco Thursday night and
arrive in Reno the afternoon be-
fore the game.
The old gang that swept the best
in the west before them during the
two years they were together at

MANY APPLICANTS
!. FOR RIVER WATER

During the spring of 1922, more
water went to waste through the
Humboldt river than will be re-
CURED to irrigate the entire hay and
pasture lands along the Humboldt
during the season of 1923. The u.
$. Geological Survey made measure
ments of the Humboldt river at
Winnemucca the first part of June.
The flow of the river on that date
was 2490 second feet of water,
practically $500 second feet.
This flow of water was sufficient
to fill the longest reservoir on the
river, the Lovelock reservoir, in
,nly ten days. The rest of the
water went to waste in the Hum
,oldt sink.
There is a desire among the
leading citizens of this district, to
store more of the surplus water Of
ne Humboldt. There is not an
agreement among the land holders
y the different sections Tor coun-
.ies) along the Humboldt as to who
hall store the water and where it
will be stored. There are over one
hundred applications for the storage
of surplus water Of the Humboldt
now on file at the state engineers
office. For each application that
has been filed, one or more protests
have been filed against such appli-
cation.
The state engineers office has not
acted on either the applications or
the protests, pending the adjudica-
ton of the waters of the Humboldt.
As soon as the adjudication is COM
oleted, which should be within two
and one-half years, action will be
sure to come on the applications.
If the leading ranchers and appro-
priators of water could get together
and voluntarily divide the surplus
water in such a manner that each
section of the river would receive
its proportional benefit, benefit for
the general good of the state, the
writer believes that storage could
be well started prior to the final
adjudication.
The work of storage and adjudi-
,ation is proceeding favorably on
the Little Humboldt, and its tribu-
taries irrigate between $4,000 and
SO 900 acres. The Farm Bureau,
With cooperation Of the state engi-
neer's office and the U. S. Geologi-
cal Survey, is keeping records Of
he larger streams. The state engi-
neer's office has promised to COM
)lete the field work on the adjudi-
alton this fall. Through the CO.
operation of the above agencies and
he chamber of commerce, surveys
have also been made of three most
promising reservoir sites on the
Little Humboldt and Martin Crek.
Sufficient data will be gathered
on the water flow and the size of
reservoir sites to make it possible
for Paradise Valley ranchers to pro-
coed with water storage in 1925

"What is your reaction time or
do you know the value Of your per
sonal equation?"
This has been suggested as a
possible question to be put to APP
plicants for motor vehicle drivers
license. according to the Bureau Of
Public Roads of the Department Of
Agriculture. Reaction time is the
interval of time that elapses be-
tween the instant a sign or signal
is seen and the necessary action
started. A driver starts to pass an
other vehicle when suddenly a
third vehicle appears which may
block his path. The driver must
decide whether to pass the vehicle
or drop back. If his reaction time
is slow he may not realize the
danger until too late to avert an
accident.
Every astronomer who observes
when a star crosses hair line in
his telescope and presses key SO
that the time may be electrically re-
corded knows that he does not OBJ
serve the fact and press the key at
the same time. A correction has to
be made which has been carefully
determined and is called his per-
sonaI equation. 1t varies with diff
ferent people.
Timers of foot race with split
second watches will frequently get
different results for the time Of the
race.
The reaction time of some people
is very slow and undoubtedly is
the cause of many accidents.

ELKO CHINATOWN NOW is
TABOO TO PIUTE GIRLS

As the result of an edict issued
last night by the Board Of Ciy Sup
ervisors in response to request
from Chief Dixon, leader of Piute
Indians in this vicinity, that portion
of Elko south of the Southern Pa
cific tracks is taboo to Indians after
nightfall. This means that after
$3.50 o'clock p. M. during the
winter, that Indians will not be al
lowed to visit this portion of the
city, and that they shall remain
away from that section after 1880
o'clock during the summer time.
This movement on the part of
city authorities constitutes an effort
to cooperate with leaders of the 10
cal Indians in keeping Piute girls
away from bootleg whiskey, Next
cans and Cinnamon. Last evening,
two comely squaws were arrested
in Chinatown, in an inebriated con-
dition. A complaint of the girls
actions was made by Indians to
local officers. The girls were taken
to the county Jail, where they will
remain for the next thirty days,
Judge Clark having imposed sent
ence to this effect this morning.
The local authorities are doing
their utmost to keep Indian girls
and men of other nationalities from
mingling, and hope by this means
to avert possible repetition Of the
brutal murder that was enacted
here recently.
Indians who violate the rule laid
down will be prosecuted, it is said.

TWO CENT Gas TAX
WOULD RAISE
100000

1t is not improbable that the inn
position of a tax upon gasoline will
De proposed in the form of a bill
md made an administrative measure
when the 1928 legislature meets, ac-
cording to reports emanating from
the state capital. The highway de-
oartment, ever since the state tax
was reduced from ten to six cents,
has been short of funds for con-
;truction and maintenance work, it
$ reported, and hence the income
from a gasoline tax would be well
come.
For the past year, according to
the highway department, it has
found difficulty in dealing with the
problem Of road maintenance, out
Of the present income from the
state, to which must be added about
100000 annually from the county
state highway tax which is collected
by the counties and turned over
TO the highway department. In ad-
dition to these two sources of in
come the highway department re-
,eives about 100000 per year
from automobile licenses, but the
greater part of this is being used
just now in meeting interest upon
and retiring state highway bonds.
When the gasoline tax was first
applied by various of the states the
rule was to make it one cent upon
each gallon sold, but two years ago
several western states advanced it
to two cents, thereby doubling their
income from that source. 1t is
now proposed by some of its ad-
vocates that a two-cent tax be
levied by Nevada, one-half to be
retained by the state and the re-
naming one-half paid to the coun-
ties in the proportion that it is
paid by their gasoline consumers,
the bill to carry a provision that
such funds must be expended upon
road maintenance.
By giving half the income, from a
two-cent tax, to the various coun-
ties, it is believed that the clamor
of several counties for their entire
proportion can be suppressed.
While statistics showing the ac-
tual consumption of gasoline by this
state have not been compiled at
this date it is estimated that a tax
of one cent per gallon would pro-
duce approximately $4,000 per
year, with an exemption, of course,
for all gasoline consumed by sta
tionary engines. If the tax is made
two cents the income would be ap-
proximately $4,000 annually, one
half of which, under suggested
plans, would be distributed among
the various counties.
If such tax is imposed the state
would, in all probability, require
the companies shipping in gasoline
to pay it as fast as sales are made
and remit to the state treasury.
The tax would be added to their in
voices and so passed on to the con-
sumers through the retailers.-Reno

RAINE-BRITE MURDER CASE
TRIAL IN EUREKA COUNTY

Since the death of Atha Carter,
prohibition officer, which occurred in
Reno on December "a, the result
of a gunshot wound that was in
fiicted in a raid near Palisade on
December 10, the legal machinery
of Eureka county has been set in
motion with a view to administer
justice in the case.
1t was thought at first that it
would be a federal case. but since
the shooting resulted in the death
of the prohibition officer, it be-
comes the duty of the state to prose-
cute the case under the state law.
On last Monday District Attorney
W. R. Reynolds was notified by
George Springmeyer, United States
attorney, of the death Of the federal
law officer, Atha Carter, and re-
quested that prompt action be
taken in the matter.
George Springmeyer, u. s. at
torney. has advised the district at
torney that the federal government
will give every assistance possible,
and Edgar Father, district attorney
elect, who will have charge Of the
case after January l, has indicated
that he will ask the federal govern
ment to assist him in the case.
Owing to the fact that District
Judge-elect w. R. Reynolds has, as
district attorney. started prosecu-
ton Of the case, it is thought that
he will disqualify himself as judge
in the case, and will call in some
other judge to preside at the trial.
