Mr.. Alps reports and adds that
the valleys had a light cover Of
snow in the north portion
"Stock feeding was moderately
heavy because of the continued
cold weather." the report says.

desert range. The ample water
supply permitted livestock to
spread over all sections of the
winter range and use 1T to the
greatest advantage. Cattle and
sheep were in a satisfactory con-
dit.on at feeding stations. There
IS an abundant supply of hay.
Ranges are in good condition In
the extreme south portion. 1.-Two

sections of the state. The freez-
ing weather stopped lettuce ship

ONLY 1 PER CENT
NEVADA LANDS TITLED

about one per cent of the lands
within the state areowned, tillable
and receiving expert attention.
About SO per cent of Nevada land
is receiving but little if any at
tention at the present time. About
81 per cent Of the feeds stuffs in
Nevada are secured from the pub
lie grazing lands" That is the
statement of James E. Gurr, super
visor of the intermountain forest
reserve.
According to Gurr, the receipts
from grazing permits pay approx
mately only the cost of administra-
ii on, the general taxpayer footing
the bill for improvements, con-
struction and the building of roads
and trails. He states this applies
to all of the II western states.
The largest of the inter-moun-
tain districts is the Toyabe forest,
which comprises 100000 acres,
of which $4,000 acres are in Eur
eka county, the rest being in Nye
and Lander counties. Toyabe is a
Shoshone indian word meaning
black hills. Speaking of the kill
ing of the wild mustangs, Gurr
states: "The killing of the Wild
mustangs is one of the best meth
ods Of conserving range feed for
the cattle and sheep"

FROM NEVADA TO OKLAHOMA OFFICERS TO
STAND TRIAL FOR MURDER.
IDENTITY OF WATERSON AS MURDERER UNEARTH-
ED BY LOCAL SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

CARSON CITY, Dec. .30.-Wiu
Waterson, alias Henry Mals, who
was arrested in Las Vegas in
June OF 1924 and sentenced to the
state prison for a term of one to
sen years for incest will be
paroled tomorrow to officers from
Oklahoma 10 which state he will
be. taken to stand trial for the
murder of J. w. Duncan of Ard
more in 1906.
The Identification of Wgterson
as Duncan's murderer was un-
earthed by Sheriff Sam Gay at
the time of the trial.
The reason for surrendering
Waterson to the Oklahoma author
ties at this time is that all wit
nesses to the murder which took
place twenty-one years ago are
still living and his conviction for
this crime is assured.
Mrs. Waterson and two chill
dren are still in Carson City where
they are charges of the county.
Waterson was arrested in the
summer of 1924 and charged with
illegal relations with his 1S-year
old daughter. He was suspected
OF having a record of crime and
was closely watched by the local
sheriff's office.
His daughter confessed to
Sheriff Sam Gay that she was the
victim of her fathers crime after
Waterson had beaten her. She
also said that his real name was
Wlaterson and not Mills and that
ne had been in some trouble In
Oklahoma and had had to leave.
Sheriff Gay Immediately got in
touch with the authorities Of that
state and the prisoner was identi-
fled as the murderer of j. w. Dun
can of Ardmore, Oklahoma, in
1906.
Duncan's son, who had spent
eighteen years searching for his
/ fathers murderer, came to Las
Vegas and identified Waterson as
the man.
