JOHN BIssELL of Phillips county,
is rapidly developing strength in the
free-for-an congressional tussle. One
thing IS evident, that the man who
receives the nomination at Colby
must be, and must have been In the
past, identified with the farming in
terests of the country, if he succeeds
IN the election. Mr.. Bissell is a farm
er and always has been, until recent
ly he has been engaged In the hotel
business at Phillipsburg; he is one Of
the Oldest settlers in the northwest;
he stands morally and intellectually,
head and shoulders above the little
army pIsmires who are opposing him
in his county. In short and In fact
he will go into the Colby convention
with his own county delegates and
with the friendly feeling Of the dele
gates from other counties When
Webb McNau receives the nomina-
ton at the convention, John Biss5ll
will stand at the head Of the disaD-

The EmpOria Republican sizes it
up in the following tunefuI jingle:
''In Kansas when the tide was low,
and business dull and trade was slow,
the farmers seemed to have no show,
the people kicked prodigiously. But
Kansas saw another sight: On every
side from left to right, the farmers
raise up in their might, to crush their
foe, Monopoly And strong and
stronger Will they grow; hack poll
ticians though they blow, must soon
pack up their buds, and go, in spite
Of all their tr1ckery. This year the
farmers mean to prove that public
men It doth behoOve to get upon
themselves a move, and quit their
BANKED tomfOOlery.

The passage Of the Oklahoma bill
was the signal for great. rush Of
boomers into the Cherokee Strip, and
the scenes at the opening Of the
Oklahoma territory we're re-enacted
last Friday when thousands rushed
pefl nell into the promised land. The
majority of bona tide settlers carried
on their wagons enough lumber to
construct small dwellings, and white
tents and wagon covers dot the
prairies in all directions, and are be-
ing replaced with less picturesque
but more substantial board shanties.

The State Board of Trade.

We acknowledge the receipt of a
copy of the history Of the organiza-
ton Of the Nevada State Board of
Trade, its aims and purposes, Consti-
tuition and Bylaws, together with a
list Of the officers, board of directors
and charter members. The object in
issuing this pamphlet is to present to
its members, as we'll as to the public
generally, the considerations which
led to its organization and thus
bring every intelligence in the State
in cooperation with it, and to encour-
age the formation Of Improvement
societies and local Boards Of Trade in
every county in Nevada.
1t ID confidently believed that many
hundreds of persons, dissatisfied with
their old places of residence, would
find it to their advantage to locate in
Nevada, and would do 30 if they were
made acquainted with the opportuni-
ties awaiting the frugal toiler. With
vast tide OF travel flowing past our
doors we should be able to secure at
least few settlers. Unfortunately
the overland road crosses the State
on an unfavo-able route scenically,
and the traveller gets a poor impress
sion of our resources. Even our own
people are in need Of education on the
anhiact md fhair 6rot d,,fu - hboy
hope to build up Nevada, will be to
learn more about it themselves. To
secure united and systematic action
on the part Of all who have sufficient
public spirit 10 contribute their time
and means to this laudahle purpose,
the Nevada State Board Of Trade has
been organized, and every citizen Is
invited to become a member.
