It has been customary in many printing
Offices in Nevada, ever since the settling
up Of the country, to keep a .phat line" or
two standing, about the state OF the
weather, The comps. like 1t, but the
country demands a more extended notice
occasionally, and so as we took q good look
at 1t Sunday afternoon, from the hillside
back Of the new teaching mill, we were led
to conclude that the sun rises and sets
according to the traditions Of poets,
prophets and painters. The season is now
upon us when the gold fades out into the
purple, and the purple into the twilight
shadows Of the night right regally. OF
sunrises, we of the SENTINEL, know bu.
little-go TO the w~orm-hunters for their
stories of its beauties and invigorating in
fuences.
From our elevated position, on the day
aforementioned, we could moi arrive at the
conclusion that October was the fruit
gathering season in Nevada pumpkin
vines were not c~lambering all over the
mOuut1iH Eluc Htittcf WtTt ripe huu
lucious berries very plentiful very few Of
our orchards and vineyards are to be seen,
and the fruit itself is borne on refrigerator
= not OH Nevada trees. We wonder
that men will own tracts OF ground. lots,
houses, nave plenty Of water and still they
live as though but for o day. Our mines
are certainly substantial enough to justify
any man, in or about Eureka, in expend-
ing o few dollars for young fruit trees.
The Mormons can haul, with their de-
crepit old plugs, the yellow beethoven and
the Fall pippin 800 and 400 miles for Us to
consume at the rate Of seven cents per
pound, and they have no better soil than
we can boast along the line Of the canyon
in which our town is built. Understand
us that we don't preach for the apple ex-
clusively. No n among us ever tried to
steal apples in boyhood days, but what he
was sure to sit down on q wasp or
tore off q roll OF hide from
his shin as long as q shaving or lost
the seat OF his pants In some sagacious
watch dogs jaws; or, IL the deed was at
tempted on Sunday, how many Of us have
heard about every last one of the bad boys
getting their arms or legs broken. None
OF Eureka's citizens ever saw o boy steal
ing apples, Sunday, that fell out Of a tree,
loaded with ripe, red apples, and broke his
limbs, but we have often heard of such
cases, and our sympathy always rel out
toward the boy who broke his leg instead
OF his arm. Old Mother Eve is reported
as having played hob" with this delicious
fruit. Roasted apples, three times a day
In October, performs q service for the liver
analogous to the extract OF sagebrush in
Spring time; it's . traditional fruit OF
wisdom, and is better to make cider Of than
chemicals, but, after all, not to be COM
pared to ''g-o-o-th-e"-and goose we have
game and the delicious little trout. 1t will
be long time before our boys will have
orchards to steal from, and the Mormons
are glad Of it.
This is the season Of all others that our
people love TO ramble hither and yon; cool
nights, warm days 40 mosquitoes, no
horse-fies, no gnats aud no rains. Grows
are singing campaign songs upon every
bush, and although October is the APP
preaching skirmishcr for a prophesied
severely cold winter, it is, on the whole,
very pleasant thus far.
