been a week that in all respects was unsatisfac

depended upon street deliveries for most of the
wheat used have obtained very little indeed from
that source and have been forced to 90 into the
elevator for what they want. The roads still
continue in such poor condition that the farmers

directions for the entertainment of the
wedding guests.
"Don't forget to pass the cake and wine,
DOCTOR" said she. 1.-The cake Is in the COR
ner cupboard. and you will find the wine
IN the third right-hand shelf in the side
board"
The doctor promised to obey, put on his
clothes, and went down to perform the
ceremony. Returning a half hour later.
he found his wife sitting up in bed, with
an anxious expression on her face.

any wine?"

New Schedule Rates I'm Favor Of

The Southern Pacific Company, which
now manages the affairs of the Central
Pacific railroad, has made a material re.

Francisco, Sacramento and Stockton. CAL
~ifornis, and points in Nevada and Utah.
one half has been made, while on very
many articles the rates have been reduced
one-third or more, commencing with the
first Of the present month. The reduc-
ton, says tho Silver State, like all others
that have been made in railroad rates in
Nevada, was the voluntary act Of the COM
psny. No legislative body, State or Ma
tional, has ever reduced transportation
rates in this State, though in almost every
campaign, since the railroad was built,
demsgogues have ~endeavored TO get into
office by promising in platforms and on the
stump what they would do in that direc-
ton if elected. The statutes show, how
ever, that railroads in Nevada are author
lied to charge ten cents per mile for pass
ehSers, huu s"outy cento Pof son per miio
for freight, SO that the people are under no
obligations whatever to the statesmen "
who make our laws for any reduction in
fares or freight; In fact the corporations
are much more liberal than the law
makers, as in no instance do they charge
much over one half what the law allows
them, while in very many cases they do
not charge one-tenth the amount author
lied by law; all Of which prove that the
people must look to the railroad oom-
panies, not to the Legislature, TO regulate
fares and freights.

STATE LANDS.
why Their Price Has Been Raised
so 81 so am Acre.

10 81 80 am Acre
The editor OF the Virginia Enterprise,
q member Of the Board OF Regents. which.
under the law, actually controls the price
At which the State lands shall be sold.
gives the following reasons for the recent
rise in the price of such lands: Owing to
ssystem OF land piracy the State has been
regularly swindled in every real estate
transaction in which her interests were
concerned. The man who bought 40 acres
Of land contiguous to q spring, river or
lake had the actual possession and enjoy
ment OF, perhaps ten or twenty thousand
acres adjacent thereto without the latter
costing him a nickel. The reason Ia OBJ
vious. So long as the buyer holds o good
title to the land bordering on q stream he
Is monarch OF all he can see beyond and
around that stream. The owner OF forty
acres upon which exists o spring thus has
Q free range, or pasturage, OF several
square miles and the State is out OF pocket
by the operation. In illustration Of this
evil we can cite one cause u OF thousand.
In q certain township there are about 49,
700 acres OF land, but only two springs.
Ats 25 an acre this township ought to
realize for the State the sum Of $91 $50.
But the land pirate knows that by buying
up the land Immediately surrounding the
springs he practically becomes the owner
OF the 70, 1000 acres. He therefore buys the
smallest subdivision which the law per-
mits, that 10 forty acres around each
spring. For those two small tracts he
pays sl0O, and after giving $40 on 40
count he Is allowed twenty years In which
w pay the balance. That for which he
ought to pay $3l, $50 he gets for 500. In
o'ner words, the State has been selling
.nese water. erabbers, mainly consisting OF
. ilcn and powerful syndicate OF cattle
men, her selected lands at q rate less thar
half q cent an acre.
