BRIGHT OUTLOOK
in LYON COUNTY

Yerington, Mason Valley and Lyon
county in general, have much to look
forward to in a business way If in
dications of prosperity are to be re-
lied upon.
One of the leading features of our
progress and development Is the COM
mencement of work on the second
unit of storage reservoirs in the
Walker River Irrigation district.
Now that the Loose application for a
power site has been eliminated it is
stated by officials of the district that
actual construction work will be
started as soon as possible, not later
than early summer at the outside.
This alone should encourage a feel
ing of optimism and confidence in
this section as it will place several
thousand acres of arid land under
cultivation and as one owner said all
of the farms under that project have
made material increase in valuation.

Mild IN STATE

Alps reported as follows yesterday:
General clear and pleasant weather
that a large storm area over the Pa
cific Northwest Tuesday night caused
rains and strong winds in the west
portion. The temperature average
about 60 above normal for the week
There was more than the seasonal
amount of sunshine, and the wind
movement was about normal. The
highest temperature at Reno was SO
on the 10th, and the highest at Win
nemucca was Sc on the same date
The lowest at these stations was II
at Reno and 13 at Winnemucca. on
the 18th.
All outside work went forward
without delay, because of the favor
able weather. Stock are being fed
on ranches and at feeding stations
except that most of the sheep in the
State are on the desert range. The
weather was favorable for all agricul-
tural interests in Lincoln and CLARK
counties and plowing has been car
ried in all winter. 1t is reported that
the water supply is getting low in
some localities of the desert range
but forage is generally ample for
sheep. The feeding of stock is heavy
in northern counties, and the hay
supply is plentiful. Stock were doing
well in western counties. Range and
stock are reported to be in excellent
condition In the south and east por.
tion of Nye county. The ground was
frozen in the northern portion so that
plowing could not be done, and ranch
activities were confined largely tc
chores and care of stock Roads
were in exceptionally good condition
for this season of the year.

SEEKS DESIRE OF
NEV- SPORTSMEN

Governor Scrugham submitted thret
questions deemed of paramount inter
est to sportsmen at a gathering of the
latter, comprised Of both members
and non-members, under the auspices
of the Nevada State Fish and Game
Protective League at Reno Friday
night, In an effort on the part of the
governor to ascertain thetrue, senti-
ments of the sportsmen as to the
questions. After the meeting Gov
ernor Scrugham stated that the senti-
ment was divided, says the Journal.
He asked those present whether oil
not they favored
State or county control of fish
and game.
2. State or federal game refugees
and where located.
8. The sale of fish and game by
Indians without license.
Although a vote was taken, the re.
suits of which are somewhat at var.
lance, as a number of those on one
side had left the meeting at the time
of the vote and seemed to match with
the trength of their convictions q
perhaps larger number on the Other
side, Governor Scrugham said he got
impressions as follows:
Sentiment seemed equally divided
as to fish and game control by the
state on the one hand and couh
! ties on the other. The establishment
of state rather than federal game re
| fuges seemed desired and 1t seemed
the consensus that the location coult
be proclaimed by the governor. TIL,
| livestock interests, ably covered in +;
speech by Vernon Metcalf, secretar,
of the Nevada Land and Livestock as
sociation, or the central body of thu
cattle and sheep raisers, particularly
seemed to favor state rather than fed
eral control of refugees.

hSH iitCHoc oCCllCu ldfoitd
This means that even with the late
vote there was virtually unison on the
questions, except as to the first-or
whether Washoe county should con,
troll its general fish and game mat
ters or refer them to the tate COM
missions.
1t is apparent to Douh IS county
sportsmen that Washoe aid Ormsby
counties strongly favor centralized
control of fish and game, while other
sections like Churchill, Douglas and
other desire that the control of fish
and game remain in the hands of the
various board Of county commission
ers rather than with state game
warden.
The true condition and the desires
of Nevada sportsmen, lie beyond the
expressions of few Reno sports.

WARRANT NOT
REQUIRED NOW

In an opinion rendered Wednesday
by George Springmeyer. United States
district attorney, 1t becomes the duty
of federal prohibition officers to make
arrests and search without warrant OF
all soft drink parlors and other plac-
es whee people congregate, providing
they note any violation OF the Vol
stead act Searching of public places
and private homes cannot take place
without search warrant The pro-
posed policy of compelling witnesses
to testify is likely to have a tendency
to keep people from visiting certain
places where they have reason to be-
lieve that liquor is being sold.
The opinion delivered by District At
torney Springmeyer to Captain J. P.
Donnelly, federal prohibition director.
follows:
1T being the duty of officers to make
arrests and to seize evidence. when
ever the law is violated in their pres
ence, and it being strange that own
ers of soft drink establishments
which customarily break the law have
the uncanny foresight to remove in
toxicants only when raid is about
to be made, it inevitably results that
thoughtful persons either openly or
by widespread innuendo assert that
certain men and certain places are
favored and are receiving protection.
Unfortunately such suspicious result
ing from the unwise policies pur-
sued muddy the clothes of innocent
men. The reason for the suspicion
must be removed. The only way to
remove the reason is to throw down
the bars by telling your officers to
enter any public place without war;
want wherever you see fit, and to ar
rest law violtaors, seize evidence,
and take the names of all witnesses.
This office, regardless of the posi-
tion of such witnesses, will place
them upon the witness stand and
compel them to testify. Perhaps this
policy will deter respectable persons
from frequenting places where the
law is violated"

MOTOR LAW IS
TO BE CHANGED

Nevada motorists would be enabled
to make short trips at will without
the necessity of worrying about non-
residen permits in California, and
automobile dealers would be con-
venienced in holding their demon
strations in contiguous counties of
that state, through plans now on
foot, says the Journal.
The Nevada State Highway associa-
tion, which has been in correspond
ence with the two greatest motor as
sociations in California regarding the
matter, received word yesterday that
these two associations have adopted a
Legislative program calculated to
bring about the above benefits to
Nevada.
First, the California automobile
men are asking for a fiat 81 registra-
ton fee from autos in that state,
which revenues they will supplement
by a gasoline tax sufficient to pay
the necessary anual expense.
Second, after an intensive investi-
cation OF the subject or nonresident
permits, the Californians now favor
amending the present act so that Wis
itors will have 10 days in which to
register and will propose to the leg
islature that the period for which
nonresident registration holds
good be extended from 80 days to
six months.

FORD NOW OWNS
ALPINE MINES

A press dispatch from Ludington,
Mich. Announces that Henry Ford and
his son, Edsel, have acquired the
lmense holdings Of the Stearns-
Clver syndicate.
It will be remembered that the lat
ter syndicate properties include an
in his recent investigation of the
county. said to contain, in addition to
good values In gold and silver, a
large percentage Of commercial
arsenic.
1t Is understood that Henry Ford,
extensive mining group In Alpine
Mussel Shoals plant, with the view Of
operating 1t to furnish nitrate to the
agricultural interests, he was horri-
fed to learn of the havoc wrought
by the boil weevil on the cotton
plantations of the South, and shortly
thereafter a corps Of his technical
men were actively engaged in ex-
perimenting with different means of
eradicating the pest Their report
on its control was rather optimistic,
providing an adequate source of
supply of commercial arsenic could
be developed.
In the mining operations along
the mother-lode in Alpine county,
arsenic has been considered a
hinderance, and many otherwise
meritorious properties have laid idle,
due to the large percentage of this,
now much sought for mineral.
