Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1879-11-01

A SMART ONE.-Last Sunday ten year
old bow of this city who is we'll known for his
originality, was pulling his brain as to how
he could secure an autograph from General
Grant without directly preferring the request,
He poudered upon the subject so long and
earnestly that he at length struck upon Il
novel idea. He wrote out short but warm
address of welcome to the General, which he
signed From the bays of Carson, carefully
placed it into all envelope and addressed 1t to
the distinguished gentleman. A. O'Clock
that evening he called at the Governors res
idence, armed with the letter aud an auto
graph album, and asked for the General The
servant who answered the bell, after being
informed that the youth had a letter for the
General, volunteered to deliver it, but tho
boy stated that it was necessary that he should
hand it to the addressed in person. General
Grant came to the door, and the boy present
ed the letter to him. at the same time extend
ing his autograph book requesting the Gen
erals receipt for the document. General
Grant unsuspectingly signed his full name on
a blank page of the book, not knowing how
happy liz was making an autograph hunter
We are Informed that the boy in question Is
the only person in this city who received the
Generals autograph without direct request
for it.

VALUE OF THE WHEAT CRoP I'll Q
assessment roll Of Walla W~Ila county
for 1879 shows that there are 1851
acres bearing = crop Of wheat in the
equity The harvest has been in pro-
gress a couple of weeks. Tue lowest
yield yet reported was from field Of
volunteer grain which gave a product
Of ls bushels to the acre. Numerous
large fields have hel reported where
the yield was over so. aud several hose
product was over so bushels to the acre.
Good judges claim that the average
yield for the county. this year, will ex-
coed 30 bushels Of extra quality OF wheat
to the acre. or q total crop of 1896, 40
bushels. DR. Blalock Gays that with al
average yield Of 25 Bushels per acre, it
costs rs cents per bushel to raise wheat
and get it ready to sack. This cost in
cludes interest on the iuve.tme mt at one
per cent per month, wear and tear Of
machinery, repairs Of fences. etc TAX
ing his statement as a basis We find
that it cost to raise the crop the sum Of
$3i9.l77. Deducting one-third. a very
large allowance. for home consumption.
We find surplus for export of 93l 40
bushels. which at so cents per bushel,
the present price, will bring into the
Valley from abroad the handsome sum
Of S465.570. To this must be added
the amount which the non producers
pay for their bread. say $4,000. Some
wheat was cut for hay. but not much.
say 1000 acres. equivalent to 10000
bushels or Sl5, 900. which amount must
be deducted from the grand total,
leaving as the cash value Of the sur
plus wheat crop Of 1879. the SUN Of
