Every Number
Gets A Farm
Government Land With Perpet
ual Water Rights, Good Soil
and Fine Markets.
The great agricultural development
now going on in the West is attracting
widespread attention, and every "land
opening" calls out thousands of letters
of inquiry concerning the opportunity
for settlers. Just now unusual interest
centers in the Truckee-Carson irriga
tion project in Nevada, where a thou
sand farms offered to homeseekera by
the Government open alluring possi
bilities. These lands are free to every bona
fide homeseeker, the only expense,
with the exception of the nominal filing
fee, being the prorata share of the
cost of building the irrigation system.
This charge amounts to $30 per acre,
payable in ten ' annual installments,
without interest. There is no drawing
or any element of chance in applying
for one of these farms. It is only
necessary to make a homestead entry
at the land office at Carson City or at
the office of the Land Commissioner at
Fallon, Nevada.
Nature has endowed few regions
more liberally with all the elements
necessary to build up a commonwealth
than are found in this section. The
fertile fields grow alfalfa, cereals,
fruits, vegetables, in fact practically
all the products of the temperate zone;
the climate is dry and delightful, and
the valley is singularly free from se
( vere storms. The sun shines almost
every day in the year. The great min
ing regions furnish a home market and

raised, and splendid transportation fa
cilities connect the project with the
commercial centers of the country.
The Government irrigation system as
sures the farmers an abundant supply
of water. The riyers offer unlimited
possibilities for the development' of,
power.
If you wish to obtain one of these
farms you should write at once to the
Statistician of the U. S. Reclamation

wheels of the wagon hit the ditch one

and the boy were thrown violently to
to the ground and the team started to
to run. Mr. Rummel alighted on his
head and rhoulders and for a time seri
ous internal injuries were feared,

would experience no bad after effects.
The boy was uninjured.

By Strikers

a Difficulty which Promises
to Become Serious.
Omaha is indulging in the metropol
itan novelty of a street car strike. A
few cars are still running on a limited
schedule though the strikes claim that
these will be tied up in a few hours.
President Wattles, however, claims
that by Tuesday morning all cars will
be running, on schedule time, that men
have been offered from other cities
experienced motor men and conductors
-offered from different cities in the
east. On the contrary, the strike lead
ers claim that but little service will be
given today and tomorrow.and that the
company will soon lose the fight.
In the meantime, at a meeting of
business men yesterday, 250 prominent
men-bankers, merchants, lawyers and
others-pledged themselves as deputies
to suppress violence. The crowds yes
terday were in the main quiet and or
derly, though in several localities riots
were narrowly averted and in a few
instances trolley wires were cut and
cars intercepted. A feature of the
day was a parade of the strikers in
which over 500 men were in line. ' Of
the arrests made none were strikers.

Kansas, and when he was taken ill re
turned to his home at Union in order to
receive better care. He enjoyed a wide
circle of acquaintances who will be
shocked to learn of his untimely
demise. .
The News-Herald last week called

page ad to tell you of the excellence of
the Majestic. If you are in the market
