Water for Jacks Valley.

Some af the Jacks Valley ranch
ers talk of storing water up near
tho summit of the sierras. On the
north fork of the main canyon west
of the Valley is situated a springy
basin about 200 feet wide und half
mile long. Some years ago the
woodmen made a dam of plank
with a fill at each end and stored
water to a depth of about five feet.
1t is said that but little labor
would be required to repair this
dam SO that water conld be stored
to even a greater depth. One
great advantage OF the basin is
that instead of the water seeping
out, the springs in the bottom not
only prevent waste, but will
Doubtless replace the loss by evap-
grafton, As the reservoir is situat :
ed near the regular water course
there will be no expense or waste
in conducting the water to the
ields belew.-Courier.

The State Loses.

As the APPEAL, and in fact every
body else. predicted some time ago
the State has lost It's law suit witt
Lyon county.
What legal grounds the State
had for the peculiar position it took
has not been developed.
The trials in the Justice and
the Distrist Cont failed to throw
any light on the subject.
The Board throughout seems to
have been governed by an extraor-
binary lack of common business
sense.
Its members seemed to b. filed
with the idea thatit is simply their
business 10 hunt for technacaiIes
and petty qulbbles, that they may
prevent money being removed from
the State Treasury. They regard
the State Treasury, not as financial
medium for conducting the author
lied business Of the State, but as a
sort of sacred trust from which not
a dime shall be taken if they can
possibly help it.
This is altogether an unbusiness-
like and juvinile view to take of
the matter and disgusts nine tenths
OF the taxpayers.
This hair splitting economy is
really foolish extravaganza and
Messrs. Stevenson, Alexander and
Dormer must realize by this time
that their posing as Treasury
watch dogs has in no way enhanced
their regulations as public officers.
This is the second time the
legal advice of Attorney General
Alexander has been coppered by
the courts.
The other instance was when he
advised the Board not 10 advertise
the Constitutional Amendments.
The Supreme Court pronounced
the amendments null and void and
t.cost the State large sum.
1t will thus be seen that any at
tempts on the part of the Board
to pose as a Treasury watch dog
will only be regarded as ridiculous
and unsatisfactory by the public.

she hurried into the house without even
looking into the fate Of her precious basket

Aunt Prue settled into her working traces
beautifully when the pressure of necessity
came upon her, and a more devoted nurse
for the sick mother and helpless babe could
not have been found.
Fortunately no special harm had been done
by the delay and Mrs. Hastings had plenty
of skilled assistants, but Aunt Prue never
ceased to lament because Massa Carl didn't
drive faster, without taking particle Of
blame to herself for her share in the delay.
Good old Prue. She served the little
stranger faithfully for two years, gathering
him nightly to her amp.e bosom as only
devoted colored nanny can do, before she
went back TO her own humble cabin.

case of scrofula, which lasted him long

went to DIR. Morris drug store in this
place and bought several bottles of 8. s. g.,
by taking which, and nothing else, he
was fully and permanently cured. He

three years Old he was s0nt to the poor
house at st. Asaph to be brought up and

old, he was turned loose to take care of
himself. Young though he was, he was
ambitious and well-informed. As a lad,
he taught school in the village of Mold,
Flintshire, North Wales. Getting tired
of this, he made his way to Liverpool,
England, when he was about fourteen
years OF age, and there he shipped q
cabin-boy on board q sailing vessel bound
to New Orleans, in the promised land to
which 60 many British-born youths ever
turn their eyes. In New Orleans he fell
in with q kindly merchant, Mr.. Stan
ley, who adopted him and gave him his
name: for our young hero's real name

as you see. Mr.. Stanley died before
Henry came OF age, leaving no will, and
the lad was again left to shift for him

until 1851, when he was twenty-one
years old, having been born in 1910.
Then the great Civil War broke out,
and Stanley went into the Confederate
