The Anende Honora BILE.

The Nevada State Board of Trade
held n meeting in Reno on the 4th
and tho following charter members
from White Pine county were added
to the organization, which removes its
former party complexion. Though
their mothers wouldn't know several
of the gentlemen by the names thrust
upon them by the Reno directorate,
we presume the reason is that our
Reno friends are not as we'll posted
regarding the representative citizens of
the Great East as we are about those
of the Great West. However, the adj
dition of the names given below cannot
but materially add to the influence
of the organization in this part Of the
State: Sol Hip. w. r. tL) Davis. d.
c. McQuitty, A. G. Herm (House), r..
A. Ricpe, David Felsenthal, d. CO.,
II. Grey, J. b. Simpson. w. d. Camp
bell, J. A. (H.) Lockwood, j. b. Ma'h-
ewson, c. (A) r. Watson. The let
lers and name in parenthesis are cor
rect. and the Secretary of the Board
should SO enter them on his books be-
fore he calls for the annual dues.

Work Begun On the New Railroad
The Phoebe Record of the 5th (and
the last to hand says:
Escaiente Desert, from Milford
southwest to this side Of Desert
Springs, is dotted with men and teams
engaged in the work OF grading the
road bed for the railway extension
from Milford west. A force OF men
have also begun work on one of the
tunnels near Clover Valley in this
county, which are to be run. Sup
plies of all kinds are arriving at Mil
ford, and the original contractors,
Fitzpatrick Bros. and Collins, state
that they will at one put $500 teams
on the line between Milford and
Meadow Valley Wash, and the work
Is 10 be pushed with all possible en-
ergy. The main contractors own ex-
tensive farms in the States of Kansas
and Nebraska, and from these will
furnish hay, grain, etc., for the sub
contractors under them; their present
figures being 81 per ton for hay and
81 so per cwt. for oats, delivered al
Milford. Their facilities for furnish
ing supplies of this character are am
pie, but Notwithstanding this all the
hay and grain within fifty miles of
the road will probably soon find ready
sale. Whether the road builds
south or west from Meadow Valley
Wash. Phoebe will be reached by a
branch line. AS heretofore stated
this branch line is already located for
a greater part of the distance. With
such working force as stated in full
operation, 1t is more than likely that
midsummer of the present year will
find US almost, If not directly, in rail-
road communication with the outside
world.

The Cotton situation.

The New York Commercial Bulletin in
In its review of the cotton market SAYS:
"There are operators who can work out
some very promising statistical exhibits
to show the comparative cheapness of
cotton, and how consumption ought to
require proportion fully equal to the
increase of crop, even allowing for max
imum estimates. There may eventually
prove to be merit in the figures; but the
necessary demand certainly does not ex-
LIST now, or, possibly more correctly
speaking, does not develop, because it is
unable to secure the monetary backing
to support it. The Spectator looks at
the nice sure thing existing on the differ
ence between months, and signs rs he
appreciates his inability to take adyan-
tage Of the opportunity, while the do
mestic spinner and the exporter are re-
strained from the temptation of
Investment by the clogging of the chan
nels through which they ordinarily
secure the required assistance. Further
more, previous suggestions are
ment in the matter of supplies, the
primary points becoming more and more

pressure; and though an easing up on
money may result in the Offering finding
custom the fear now seems to be that the
flow of stock, when first started at least,
will prove altogether too free for q market
steadily hquidating lis speculative long
interest and containing large percent
age of ''away- back' shorts not likely to
become greatly Hurried by any ordinary
scare efforts. To-day the buyer had the
best of the deal, not enough TO bring
about any radical change IN line of cost,
yet on the whole showing an absence of
any really healthy conditions. Indeed,
the general feeling seemed to be one Of
more or less discouragement over the
probabilities of obtaining any immediate
infusion of strength, the announced
failure of the Druid mills at Balti-
more being looked upon as a
matter of serious importance
while advices from other sources were
lacking in encouragement. Liverpool
displayed no pluck or strength, financial
news from London was looked upon rs
discouraging, and the South generally
appeared to be urging its cotton with
considerable anxiety to find immediate
custom. Spots found very moderate
record of sales, and the regular line of
quotations remains very much as before,
but choice qualities remain scarce aud
are still commanding quite q fractional
premium.

INCUBATOR ATTACHMENT.

Option Election.

Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEN. Dec. 23.-The duel be-
tween the negro Whittiker and the white
youth near China Springs was from all
accounts most desperate affair. The
fact that the negro had grudge againss
fair, and the Investigation will be
thorough. Kelley will no doubt recov er
from the wound, but the negro will
probably die. Great Indignation exists
in the neiShborhood over the dastardly
attack on the young man by the negro.
The trial of c. +. Himstedt was one

they returned with n verdict of not
guilty. MIR. Himstedt is young man,

given rest. But, seriously, it is con-
templated to have attachments arranged
for the purpose of Matching eggs by
the natural heat of the water with the
temperature slightly lowered. This will
be in the nature of an experiment, but
the theory that the arteslan water, which
is l03 degrees Fahrenheit, can be utilized
for incubating purposes, seems plausible
to great many people, and there will
be no trouble in getting up capital to
start the natstorium with the incubator
attached.
