called mt the residence of woman named
Anna Window. The woman was found
with her nephew, a young man OF about
10 years. The White Caps dragged
him from his he'd and beat him
until he had to bc carried home in blan-

the owner of AN old raw-boned horse
which he worked necessarily and which
he had maintained for some time on n
daily allowance OF few bits
OF hay and an occasional corn-cob.
The White Caps caught him rccently
and made him perform the duties OF the
horse for whole night. When they
brought him tn the stable from work the
haplsss victim facctiorsly remarked that
he always curried his horse after work ing
him hard. The obiiRinR White Caps conn
piled with his request with alacrity, and

Their Utility Being Determined
In Nevada.


In conversation with j. l.. Ste
venson, better known in this section
as the "Cyclone man." some facts
concerning the workings OF his
branch OF trade Were learned whIrn
are interesting Interest commences
with the acceptance of the agency
OF the Pacifif Manufacturing Co.
only one yea ago, when an agree
ment Was entered into by winch he
was to sell 1T least fifty windmills
in one year In order to retain con
elusive control of a described terri
tory, being ali east of the Sierra
Nevada range to Salt Lake and
North to Oregon. The business
was new and people We're skeptical
as to the utility of windmills in
general, but after a yeas work 1t
looks now as if the Cyclone was on
top and to stay The country be-
teen Reno and Salt Lake is dotted
with Cyclones, and the astonishing
part is revealed in the fact of the
sales for this year in the described
territory amounting to over one
hundred and fifty mills and pumps.
Evan Williams, John Sweeny
and the publisher of the APPEAL
have found the Cyclone mill pretty
satisfactory as power for pumping
water.
Mr.. Pitt of Winnemucca, writes
that with a 16-foot mill he has irri-
gated one acre of garden, 1000
shade trees, one and quarter acres
of potatoes, two acres OF alfalfa,
besides running q two-inch double
action force pump for supplying
water for corrals and domestic use.
This letter is only one of dozen or
more equally as good, showing that
in many instances a mill has paid
for itself in a year.
The largest mill erected here is
one at Sweeny's stables, being
16-foot mil. and 5000 gallon tank,
resting on tank frame 80 feet
high. The mill is not required to
run half the time, furnishing plenty
of water fer his stables and at a
sufficient pressure to properly wash
vehicles with hose. There are
scores o ranchers buying vegetables
this year who might have raised
enough for their own use and had
some for sale had they erected a
Cyclone in time for furnishing
water. As the agency continues
with Mr.. Stevenson for the future,
it would be well to look up the
subject in readiness for
next year, if not the present.

The Fight for. SpeakershIp.
WASHINGTON, November ia
published list of the way the Re.
publican members of Congress will
vote in the caucus on the Speaker
ship question shows that those from
the Pacific Coast, DeHaven, Nc
Kenna and Morrow of California
will vote for Reed, Vandever OF the
same State for Cannon, Herman OF
Oregon for Reed, Wilson of Wash
ington for Burrows, and Bartlne of
Nevada for Cannon. The second
choice of these several members is
as follows: McKenna, Morrow,
Bartine and Herman for Mckinley,
DeHaven and Wilson for Cannon,
and VanDever for Reed.
The above dispatch shows that
the West Is all split up on the
Speakership question, and in the
selection of Speaker will cut no
figure at all. So long as there is
no unity in the West, so long will
we continue to be left out in the
cold. The sooner the Western men
have caucus and get down to
business, the better.
