Since the death OF Col. Edward
Richardson, of Mississippi, Mr.. c. NJ.
Neil of Pine Bluff, Ark, is. perhaps,
the largest planter in the South. He
was born in Alabama, and is only SO
years OF age. In 1850 he went to Ar
kansas penniless, and went to work
on farm. He is now President of
the First National Bank of Pine Bluff,
and has 10000 acres of Gotten in cul
tivation. He owns three large stores
and a railroad 26 miles in length, all
OF which runs through one of his plan
tations. He is now building another
road AZ miles in length, all of which
runs through one of his plantations.

Territory OF North Dakota.

Washington, Special Telegram, May a.
Mr.. Baker Of New York a member of the
house committee on territories, introduced
bin to establish the territory OF North
Dakota. II is essentially the same bin in
congress by Delegate Raymond, the only
difference in the boundaries being that
Baker fixes the southern boundary on the
forty-seventh parallel OF north latitude.
while Raymond's bill fixes it on the forty
sixth degree north latitude. The bounda-
ries described in the bill are as follows:
Commencing at point on the Red Rjv-
er of the North, where the 47th degree of
north latitude crosses the same; thence
south along the west boundary line OF Min.
nesota to the SEVENTH standard parallel oil
north latitude; thence along said seventh
standard parallel OF Dakota, extending to
the eastern boundary line OF Montana;
thence east along said degree TO the place
OF beginning
The legislative council is TO consist of
twenty members and the house OF repre-
sentatives OF forty. Under the Raymond
bill the council was placed at fifteen and the
house at thirty. The sections providing for
the general organization of the new territory
election OF officers, ETC., are identical with
those OF the Raymond bill. The committee
on territories will consider this measure
shortly in connection with the Springre
bill for the admission OF the entire terri.

Baker bin will be thrown inside and that

HAVE WE MUG w 4 N II n
AMONG USs

Some time ago the Lyon County
Times charged Gen Powning with
the offence of Mugwumpism in the
first degree. The General, through
his organ, made a spirited reply,
and the row attracted general at
tention. The Journal showed that
Powning held fat Office under the
Democratic Administration, and
the efforts Of the most powerful
Democrats in the State seemed I'M
able to move him from his secure
anchorage. The dissatisfied Bour
bons who have been thirstiug 10,
these many years for pap, growl
and below at Fair, who seems to
be the person who is keeping POwn-
ing in place. No one could object
to Powning's continuance IN the
Federal pasture as long as he was
able to nip blade Of Democratic
grass, but being an avowed candi-
date for the Senatorship of the
United States, the charge made by
his enemies is that he is in the
ring in Fairs interests to worry
Stewart.
The APPEAL believes that Pown-
ing would be better equipped for
the fight if he was not compelled TO
stand continually in the fierce light
of Federal patronage, which, at the
present time beats upon the throne
of the Surveyor Generalship. The
Enterprise, commenting upon the
matter, says:
Quite a lively interchange Of
sentiment has been going on be-
tween the above journals for some
time past. The Times charges that
the Journal, for the last six months |
has contained little more than
complimentary clippings of the
Democratic Administration and of |
the Hon. j. G. Fair. The Times
seems to have made good Its /
charges. 1t is probably a rather
a difficult thing to criticize the
present Administration as it de-
serves, and its chief dispenser of
Federal patronage in this State
while in the enjoyment OF a fat
Federal office. 1t is impossible TO
keep divided allegiance between
Republicanism and Democracy,
and the utterances of newspaper
that attempts this impracticable
feat will have vague and I'M
certain sound. Neither Mug
wumps nor Mugwumpery has yet
acquired much Of foothold in the
Republican party of Nevada. It
will march with solid column in the
next Senatorial fight, and will toll
crate no laggards in its ranks.

Storing Water.

A company in Eastern Nevada
with ample capital have begun to
erect dams for the purpose Of
slowing the water which has run to
waste in the Winter. They have
built rock dam in narrow defile
of the hills surrounding SquaS
Valley in Elko county New, which
fills basin of 1000 acres to an
average depth of thirteen feet; cou
tanning about S 800 ,000,00G gallons
1t has also constructed during this
year about twenty-eight miles of ir-
rigating bitches, the main canal
having a capacity of about 25,000,-
600 gallons in twenty-four hours,
has thousand acres of alfalfa
growing vigorously. besides grain
and vegetables; and is engaged in
stock-raising on large scale. The
capacity Of this reservoir is suffi-
Gent to put twelve inches of water
annually on about $4,000 acres OF
land. That might not be sufficient
artificial supply on new ground un-
less assisted by considerable rain
fall. but it has been discovered by
the company, that on land irrigated
last season, water or moisture now
stands within a few feet of the
surface, where it was never before
found at less depth at eight or ten
feet, establishing the fact which
has already been observed in South
ern California and the San Joaquin
Valley, that the soil once thorough
ly moistened does not require SO
much surface water to produce
crops. The company is converting
arid sage brush plains into grain
fields by its enterprise, and showing
the citizens Of Nevada the way to
better prosperity than they have
enjoyed in the past flush mining
days.
