everything outside of their wealthy

and would-be aristocratic little
world. Why, the agricultural Sec
lions which some of these pilgrims
have left behind present a thousand
difficulties to one in way of profit
able cultivation, found in the
farming districts of Nevada.
Think of those old farmers in Cen
trail New York, Massachusetts, and
Vermont, spending their lives in
picking up powders and grubbing
out stumps? There isn't three old
farmers in either of those States
but would get jerked over their
horses heads once an hour when
blowing among the roots and
stones. Four-ffths of the pilgrims
farmers now coming among us
have every other rib broken in
their many encounters with the
agricultural implements of the
East, and look upon an old-fash-
toned pillow as common enemy to
mankind. Did you ever watch
the pious old farmer of the East,
jogging along in the furrow behind
his cattle or horses, singing in his
methodist simplicity,
This is the way l long have sought
And notice the diversity of his
remarks as of a sudden the off
pillow handle takes him a whack in
the ribs, his heels fly up, and he
finds himself a-straddle of the
pillow beam, ready to be kicked to
death by a four hundred dollar
span of horses? Does he get up
and praise the Lord, and
Mourn because he found it not'
Not much! He has just found it.
and gets off the ragged edges of
that " dinged plow," forgets he is a
church member, ties the lines
around his waist, runs up to that
nigh boss" and kicks him in the
abdomen until he promises not to
" do that again" Then he goes to
the water jug, puts it up on the
corner of his elbow and cools his
passion-but if you can strike
him" just at this moment, you can
buy his farm for four bits an acre.
The agricultural lands of Nevada
are easily titled, productive of
bountiful crops when properly cul-
tivated, and with the same amount
of patient labor that is expended
by Eastern farmers, can be made
to pay good income to those who
pre-empt and till them. Farm
products, and the stock which can
be raised on our grazing lands,
bring good prices in our home
markets, and there is quick and
cheap transportation for any sur
plus. This is all you can expect
from any new agricultural country,
and those who come among us to
engage in farming or stock-raising
need be in nowise discouraged by
the gratuitous information furnish
ed by the metropolitan press.
WE ARE under obligations to our
old friend Judge Hayden, of Salt
Lake City, for copy of Judge
Boreman's charge to the Grand
Jury in his district, on their assem-
bling at the recent Court term IN
Salt Lake. The document is one
of the most fearless, able and SEN
sible that we remember to have
ever read from the pen a Utah
Judge. 1t is too lengthy for pub
LEGATION in our columns, and so
voluminous that a brief synopsis
would not do it the justice it
merits.
THE " Enterprise" and "Chron-
icle" have commenced a new wran-
gle, and if we are to judge by the
epithets they hurl at each other
every day, they are not likely to
sleep together very soon. We
have just found out how dignified
journalism" is defined by high
steppers in the newspaper world.
