The Revived .overIand.-

The Ore1ya,ad Monthly come:
to US for the New Year, with the
old style cover and the old bear
growing on the track as life
like as ever. Every one who
takes any interest in the liter
AIRY development of the coast,
will hail the resurrection OF this
old friend who for SO long a time
was wrapped in the cerements
of the tomb in an obscure corner
of Pickering's grave yard. 1t is
odd to see how the old Cali
fornians stick to the symbol OF
the bear. The Orerlo1ad has a
picture on its cover of bear
crossing a railroad track and
crashing its teeth at an APP
preaching locomotive. 1t must
be symbol Of the people of
California who pay high freights,
growing at the G. p. r. r.
Pixley in his A'gonoW repre-
sents a bear On a cake of ice
holding his jaw with his
paw. Some hold this to
be symbolical of Pixley-
This is an error, as he never
tries to keep cool and never at
tempts to hold his jaw. But we
stray from the subject. The
Orerland's new volume begins
with 40 pages and is a credit
to the publishers and the con-
tributors. 1t is the fashion of
the daily papers to sheer at the
magazines because its writer's
are supposed to write mostly for
pay. Many Of them do not
need money and others write for
the recreation it affords. 1t is
positive relief to a man who
writes each day, simply as a jour
nalistic grist mill, to turn from
his enforced labOrS and Occa-
casionally produce something
at his leisure, more carefully
and better digested
than the puffs of tobacco kits and
star notices of furniture stores
which he evolves for a daily
journal. The literature of every
has had its stages of
infancy and childhood, and why
not the Pacific Coast?

Back From the Bay.

John Sweeney, proprietor of
the Opera Hall Saloon, returned
from San Francisco yesterday,
where he has been for a couple
of months for health and recrea-
ton. He has fully recovered his
health and returns to Carson
fully equipped with the moter-
ial to make his saloon the lead
ing house in Carson. He is
about to introduce a number of
new features in his house, and
brings back not only a new
stock of wines and liquors, but
will shortly introduce a number
of games run on most taking
and seductive plan, calculated to
pull under one tent all the
gambling elements Of this spec
ulative community.

The "ChinY Band"

Last night at the Opera Hall
Saloon an unique entertainment
was given in the shape of a
Chinese band. The band afore-
said was composed entirely of
white talent. Billy Bryson fur
nished the singing and Owens,
the piano player, by spreading
sheets of newspapers over the
instrument can give the real tin
pan effect which is so character
istic of the music of the Orient.
There was a man with a Chinese
fiddle and another with banjo,
and one has only to turn away
from the orchestra to imagine
himself in a Chinese theater.
The performance was received
with howls of approval, but a
drunken Glenbrooker began to
throw glasses at the orchestra
under the impression that the
house had begun to hire Chinese
cheap labor. 1t took three po-
licemen to convince him Of his

The Firemen's Hall.

Tonight the gallant protec-
tors of the city's safety, to wit {:
the Warren EHgine Company,
will give a ball at the Opera
House, open to all corners at 81
a couple. The ball deserves
the hearty financial recognition
of the public, as the proceeds go
to supply the company with new
facilities for fighting fire. Car
son owes much to its volunteer
fire department, and but for it's
skill, courage and activity many
a valuable block in this city
would have been heap of ashes
long ago. We are all indebted
to the "fire jakles" and may at
any moment be placed under
still further obligations. No man
should refuse a helping hand to
the cause. The best of music
has been engaged, and the at
fair will be managed in first
class style.

CONCENTRATING THE ARMY.
All the Frontier Posts in Ne
yada to be Abolished.

Sdud 10 Uc hDOllSDCO.
In his annual report, the Gen.
eral Of the Army recommended
that troops hitherto stationed at
frontier posts be concentrated in
large barracks at stated points.
The Secretary of War approved
the recommendation, partly for
the reason that companies
stationed here and there in the
Indian country do not give Off
GERS an opportunity to put the
men through certain evolutions,
which seem to be considered of
greater Importance by the mill
tary chiefs than the protection
Of settlers. Acting on these
recommendations, it is authoTi-
tatively announced that Forts
McDermit, Halleck and Bidwell
are to be abandoned. No more
protection is to be afforded the
frontiersmen in Northern Ne
vada, Southeastern Oregon and
Idaho from Indian depredations
by the General Government, be-
cause proficiency in military
maneuvers on a large scale is
deemed Of greater Importance
than the protection of settlers.
The security of life and property
on the frontier is of less cOnSe-
quence than display and parade,
and settlers will have to pro-
tect themselves as best they can.

of the surrounding mountains,
murmured "What a magnifi-

The Wonders OF Common Paper.

To the japanese we are indebted for
the discovery that paper can be made
into hundreds of articles for human
use. At the Atlanta exposition were
TO be seen a most extraordinary varie-
ty of articles which had been made
from common paper pulp. These in
cluded car wheels, kitchen furniture.
wash basins, tubs, trucks, and even
houses. A car wheel made of paper

ing and is stronger than steel or iron,
and then it is very much cheaper.
Paper is of surprising strength. A
twisted note of the Bank of England
will not tear even though three hun.
dred and twenty nine younds weight
is suspended from the end Of it. Pa.
per can be compressed so hard that tt
will tear a chisel into pieces If the lat
ter is held against it. One Of the great
values of paper is that il can be made
to take the place of wood. Furniture
made Of it looks like black walnut,
and is really stronger a. well as chea-
per; indeed there is now less danger
from the wasting OF our forest trees
than there was before the various uses
of paper were discovered. Stoves are
made of paper and are so incombusti.
BILE that it is impossible TO burn them.
Ii is possible 10 make even n steam
engine of paper; in short. it has been
found that the linen fibre from which
the best paper is made will in the fu-
ture be as valuable TO mankind as
wood or iron.

Why Miss Belle Clinton Expects 10 be
Worth $50, 900 In Teu Years.

chiesgo Tribune, De, Noucs Letter.
The smartest girl I've met in Iowa
| met yesterday ut Nevada, Story
county, northwestern Iowa-Miss Belle
Clinton. Miss Clinton is u bright
eyed, rosy.cheeked girl ofabout twenty,
as full OF fun and health aud vigor rs
good girl can be. Two years ago
Miss Clinton was school teacher.
Saving up by her teaching about $3.50,
she last spring borrowed a span Of
horses from her father, rugged up Il
prairie schooner" and, taking her
little brother, started for Dakota. Miss
Clinton says laughingly to-day, speak
ing of her trip "Why | never lived
50 nicely in my life, and | never had
such an appetite and such courtesy
| received everywhere Rough, rude
men would come to our camp aud
after | had talked to them awhile,
offer to build my fire and actually
bring water 10 me. We went up
through the wheat country which they
call the Jim River country It's
about 100 miles east from the Missouri
at Fort Sully. | homesteaded 100
acres of land. Then | took up tim.
ber claim of about 100 acres more"
What is a timber claim
"Why, | hired man and we set ont
10 acres of trees. This gave ine 100
acres more. 80 have 800 acres nov.
They were young locust, apple and
black-walnul sprouts. ! sowed peck
of locust beans. a pint of apple-seed
and two bushels OF black wauuts in
our garden in Iowa year ago. These
sprouts were little fellows and We could
set them out fast-just go along and
stick them in the ground. But they
are just as good. | believe my 5000
little black.walnut sprouts will be
worth SIS apiece in ten years aud 500
apiece in fifteen. Ny locust trees will
some time fence the whole country"
"Then what did YOU do p
ave built n shanty and broke up
FIVE acres of land and this fall We came
back to Iowa to spend the winter and
here we are. In the spring I'll go
back with more black walnut and
locust sprouts and take up 100 acres
more. The trees are just what | want
to plant. anyway, and they'll pay better
than any wheat crop that could be
raised--only I've got to wait for them
ten or twelve years but | can wait"
Here is a girl who owns in her own
right 800 acres of splendid black
prairie soil now and who will own 4S0
acres in the spring, every acre of which
will bring s5 within three years aud
$40 within FIVE years and $50 within
ten years. Her black walnut and lo-
Gust trees will be worth as much more.
At thirty she will be worth s25,000.

At another time his wagon loaded
