sion of some of the most valuable
lands included within their limits.
The last Legislature of Oregon provid-
ed for the appointment of a special
commissioner to locate lands of this
character. and the surveys in some of
the counties have already been com
pleted, and the State will soon be in
receipt of important revenues derived
from this source. There is no reason
in the world why the State of Nevada
should not now be in the anne posi-
ton. Had this matter been attended
to in time much of the lands subject
to overflow along the banks of the
Humboldt and other streams, nov
claimed by the Central Pacific Rail
road, would have passed into the pos
session of the State. Many ofthe most
valuable lands between the Sierra
Nevada range and Utah have been lost
to Nevada simply from the negligence
to call it by no worse name-of the
pretended representatives of the State.
If one-tenth of the energy and ingenu-
ity which Stewart, Nye, Worthington
and Fitch have given to advancing the
interests of the railroad corporation
had been expended in advancing and
defending and legislating for the in
terests of the State of Nevada the
State would now have something
worth speaking of to reconpense her
for the notoriety those gentlemen have
managed to confer upon 1.-The rotten
borough they are generally sup
posed to represent. If they had sup
pressed fewer ku Klux, andtantalized
fewer Southern negroes with fifty
acres and a mule" they might have
found time to have saved to Nevada
a few hundred thousand acres.

r TAIR IN PRISON.

The cell in which Mrs. Fair is
confined has been whitened and fur
nished so hat it is much more cheer
full and comfortable than when she
was first placed there. A bureau and
fixed mirror, a stand and three chairs
have been added and some rugs have
been laid on the stone floor. Still she
complains of the draft from the win
dow, and when a reporter of the Bull
letin visited her Wednesday. he found
her ShiverIng with cold. Mr.. Kelly,
the Jailer, says that cell is the best II
i'll the prison. 1t is large and would
be comfortable were it not for the
draft through what is at once a VENT
lator and a window. When Mrs. Fair
was first put in the cell persons who
visited her observed that the ceiling
was completely covered over with
large and small wood cuts taken out
of the Police Gazette, etc, and pasted
to the solid masonry. Immediately
over the head of her bed. where she
could not look up without seeing it
was a picture representing the hang
ing Of a woman. Some prisoner had
relieved the mOnotOny of his days
and gratified his morbid taste by COW
ering the ceiling with these %atrocious
cuts. The Jailer has very properly
caused every m of them to be re
moved.
In conversation with Mrs. Fair, the
absorbing themes are the recent trial
and the present condition and future
prospects of her little child. The lat
ter visits her mother every morning
and never fails to carry soine new or
fresh fruit or something which she
fancies will please her. Wednesday.
when the door opened to admit her,
she eNclaimed: Mamma, here ome
your little sunlight"
Mrs. Fair reads but little from either
books or newspapers and keeps her
bed most of the time. Her mother
and physician visit herdaily and other
visitors are admitted freely who have
the proper permits from Sheriff White.
