Director.
This tract of land was withdrawn
from settlement by the federal gov
ernment at the time when it had
under consideration an irrigation
project for Carson Valley. This
great tract comprises some of the
best land in Carson Valley but is
worthless without water. At the
present time there is not sufficient
water to efficiently irrigate all the
land now under cultivation and the
only way that this great tract may
be made valuable is through an ir-
rigation system of some kind.
Ultimately this land will be brought
under cultivation and that the World
War veterans will be given first op-
portunity to secure home in the two
thousand acre tract. is pleasing

LAND TO Be open
FOR SOLDIER
SETTLEMENT

During the past year or more, in
connection of the proposed irrigation
system for Carson Valley, large
number of local ex-service men have
been anxious to have some 1000
acres of land In the northeastern
part of the Valley restored to set
tlement, the tract having been with
drawn from entry by the federal
government a number of years ago.
The reopening Of this tract to farm
settlement is favored by the local
American Legion post and the one at
Carson. In this Governor Scrugham,
at that time Commander of the Amer
lean Legion of Nevada gave his good
services to bring the re-opening
about, and is is evident that they
have been successful in their under
taking from the following kilograms:

UNDER BAN
Booze Sold Abroad Found Sent
Back To America tn
Same Packages.
BY Universal Service.

Following the discovery a few
weeks ago that bottled-in-bond
liquor withdrawn from Government
warehouses for export abroad was
coming back into this country
through ru1ntrunning and bootleg
channels, as reported exclusively by
Universal Service, the export of all
liquor from the United States has
been stopped for the present, it
was revealed yesterday.
The purpose Of the export ban is
to give Government agents an op-
portunity to search out the leak
and plug it before any more liquor
leaves the country.
Prohibition agents found numer-
Gus packages of seized liquors in

ing Government warehouse stamps
and custom house markings. show
ing that 1t had gone abroad and
some back.
Two agents of the Prohibition Blu
reau were detailed to make an ex-
haustive investigation in Europe
That investigation did not reveal
the leak, so fresh start was made
on this side, resulting in the order
to stop all exports until the leak
had been found.
Withdrawals of liquors from
bonded warehouses last year ap.
proximated 100000 gallons for for
eign export. These exports are per.
mitted under the prohibition laws
for medicinal purposes. However,
prohibition officials are OF the opin-
ion that at least some foreign couu-
tries have been receiving larger
quantities than their sick needs
would warrant. There are still ap.
proximately 100000 gallons of
liquors in Government warehouses
Of pre-Volstead distillation.

ESSEN, March Extension in
the Ruhr was at fever pitch to-
night following an attack by
French soldiers upon a group Of
Krupp workers, resulting in the
death of eleven Germans and in
juries to from thirty to forty
others.
Just before midnight it was an
nounced that three of the wound
ed had suffered relapses and it
was feared they would not live
until daybreak.
There were no French casual
ties.
French troops, supported with
machine-gun, had occupied the
Krupp motor lorry garage. All
the workers quit and gathered
about the building, hooting, jeer-
ing and shaking their fists at the
French. Germans climbed upon a
wall facing the doorways to the
garage, where they shouted cpl
thets at the French soldiers.
FRENCH OPENED FIRE.
After being within the building
two hours the French soldiers,
about twenty in number, sailed
forth. Angered by the threatening
attitude of the Germans the French
numbered the machine gun. Wit.
nesses claim that about five of the
soldiers opened fire with rifles,
but International News Service was
unable to confirm officially just
what weapons were employed.

In view Of the fact that only fur

tons in the city have had an oppor-
tunity Of voting subscriptions, it is
predicted that the fund win be well
oversubscribed. Labor unions have
presented solid front in support Of

Woodrow Wilson, whom the

less invalid for the last four
years, has made such marked
progress toward the recovery
Of his health as to insure active
participation in the 1924 Pres

last night.
The former President has 81
far regained his health as to be
available not only as an advisory
leader to the Democratic forces,
but he may even take the plat
form for public speeches during
the campaign.
PLAN SPEAKING DATES.
National leaders of the Demo
cratic party are known to be count
ing upon the former President to
make a number Of public appear
ances If no unforeseen circumstances
intervene. The prospects were
frightened considerably when his
physicians recently decided the
former President was rugged enough
physically to undertake the speech
making task and would not object
to it if Wilson was so inclined.
The remarkable Improvement in
Wilson's condition has even created
talk in the party's ''innermost cir
cles" that the former President may
be a candidate again. 1t was said
that if Wilson can demonstrate to
the public his physical ability to
undergo the arduous duties of
Presidential campaign and to carry
out the functions of the office, his
nomination would be assured. His
closest advisers for this reason hope
to persuade him to make q series
OF public appearances long before
the campaign begins.
STILL LIMPS SLIGHTLY.
The former President'es chief at
Fiction at present is a partial
paralysis of his left leg, which pro-
duces slight limp and intefferes
with his walk. Because Of his i'm
provement in the last six months,
his physicians are even hopeful this
defect may be entirely eliminated
It is said to be caused by slight
blood clot, and nature itself may
eliminate it at any time.

troops to take possession of the

THE French have notified $780,

be deported from the Ruhr.
The French have seized 10,-
