A Hard Winter.

For four or FIVE years we have all
been praying for a hard winter, says
the Reno Gazette, and indications
point to the winter of 1889 and 1890
as one 'hard enough to suit most of US.
Since November we have had more
rain and snow than for many years,
and the cold wave that has struck US
makes it particularly severe on live
stock that have to rustic ON the ranges,
and the loss will necessarily be heavy,
but we have the satisfaction IF know
Ing that The coming harvest will be
abundant and that the cattle that are
left will command better prices. So
take it all in all and we have nothing
to complain of. By the workings of
Nature things are evened up about
ence every decade, and what is good
for one industry in one year is disas-
,rous to another, but in the final ball
sncing of accounts il oil comes out
about right, so let US hope for the best
and trust to luck.

Plenty OF Water.

Observing men who have lived on
the Humboldt in Elko county, for
over twenty years. says the Silver
State, predict that there will not be a
dam left in the river east of Golconda
after the June frcshet next Summer.
There is more snow on the Upper
Humboldt than at any time since 1868,
and when it melts i. will fill The river
bottom from sagebrush to sagebrush. II
Big Meadows farmers wish to make
the Humboldt lake as large as it was
before the dam was blown up all they
have to do is to replace the dam and
nature will furnish the water.

Alaska

The rapid development of the Ter
ritory of Alaska in population and
trade appears not to have been for
aeen by those in authority, and in
consequence the customs legislation
applicable to that collection district
Is found to be inadequate and un :
suited to present needs. This con-
dition is a misfortune to the public
interest and hardship to the enter
prising people who, amid difficulty
and encouragement, are adding the
resources of vast and promising
domain TO the aggregate wealth of the
nation.
the present volume of trade is not
less than $40, 100000 per aunum, and
Is constantly growing. This Terri
tory, still in its infancy, has begun
~ attract attention as promising
field for the investment of capital.
skill and energy. 1t has also become
popular resort for tourists, many
of whom become interested in its
industries.
In 1884, when the Territory was
organized into civil and judicial
district, one steamer month ran to
the principal port of Sitka; now there
are four aud sometimes five per month
during the Summer and a considerable
number of sail-vessels. In southeast
ern Alaska there is large coastwise
trade, consisting principally in the
products of the salmon industry, fish,
oils, furs, mineral ores and the pre-
cious metals.

he would further excite, and then
crafty this curiosity. He hung an ar
ticuiate skeleton on the inside of the

the room was the boy who served the

The Largest Girder Ever Made,

The Keystone Bridge company, of
Pittsburg, Pa, has just completed q
girder for the new city hall of San Fran
cisco which is the largest ever made in
the United States, so far as the firm
knows. It is 105 feet long a ID weighs 10
tons. A contract for two girders was
given the company last November, and
they have been working on it ever since.
The materials for the second one are
now being prepared. The girders are
intended for the ground floor of the
building The great problem now is to
transport it to the Pacific coast. The
Chicago and Northwestern and Union
Pacific roads have undertaken the job.
The long monster is loaded on three of
the largest freight cars obtainable.-

The Listener, in one or two trips which
he has made this summer up into the
mountains, and into Maine as far as Au-
gusta, has noticed a phenomenon which
has now become quite familiar to him,
but which q good many other people to
whom he has spoken on the matter have
failed to rotice; namely, that the period
OF bloonng OF the golderrod does not
begin first in the south and move north
ward. but apparently in the other di-
rcction, from north to south. In some
places in northern Vermont and New
Hampshire no goldenrod of the common
field AID railroad track variety was in
profuse bloom by the ie5a OF July. On
the kennebec river the otter day the
golGonrod was much more golden and
less tinged with green stil than it is in

where the plant is --latest oi al in yellow
iacS;, apparently. is Cape Cod, wnere the
dwarf seaside variety, most co,llnon
there, hardly begins TO 10 itsa;f Justice
before September. It is possible that
the northern goldenrod ripens before
that farther south for the same reason

mont than it does in Virginia-it has got

Speaker Reed Gone Home,

Speaker Reed went home to night to
look after his fences. 1t has been evil
dent for some weeks past that he has
felt little uneasy on the subject, and
he has been sending some OF the strong
stumpers in his party to his district to
urge upon the voters the necessity of
his return here. First Mr.. Boutelle
disappeared, and in a few days turned
up in Maine speakingin the speakers
behalf. Then Mr.. Milliken and Mr..
Mason of Illinois, and Mr.. Mckinley of
Ohio, and now the Speaker himself has
gone to remain ON the scene until the
result is decided. This, it will be
seen, is q strong array of talent for a
district counted as unspeakably proud
OF the achievements of it's Representa-
tive and impatient for an Opportunity
to express at the polls its approval of
his course
The truth, which is now coming to
light, seems to be that the speaker has
occasion to bestir himself at home, and
at rather late day realizes the fact.
lie does not feel that he is to fight for
his political life, for the district is Re.
publican, but, in his opinion, an ordi-
nary majority would leave him with
out any prestige whatever. His activ-
ity, therefore, is with the view of swell
ing the vote to as large proportions as
possible. 1t is for majority to whicl,

course AS Speaker that he now is hust

General E. Kirby Smith.
THE GRIZZLY VETERANS ANALYSIS OF
THE CHARACTER OF THE OLD COM
MANDER.

General E. Kirby Smith, Yesterday
called on Mayor Schaumberg, farm
er adjutant during the campaign in
North Louisiana, and had long talk
over "Old times" occasionally creating
merriment at each others expense.
The conversation Shifted from one
period OF the war to another, and fin
ally upon the management of the con-
1ederate government, when the gener-
al paid glowing tribute to the dead
leader.
IL always loved Mr.. Davis" he said.
"and hold his memory as one of the
most sacred recollections of the past,
and have but one objection to his
course as president of the confederacy.
He was too conscientious. Even had
General Lee so desired, Mr.. Davis
would not have consented during the
invasion Of Pennsylvania to plumber
and arson. He tried to conduct the
war according to the same principles
upon which he lived his noble life, of
doing only the absolutely necessary
harm to protect himself His enemies,
II such really exist, can say and think
what they choose, but when the world
considers the humane principles upon
which he carried on that long, bitter
struggle, depriviDg his own soldiers in
order to properly care for the Federal
prisoners, and yet enabling his armies
to resist forceslarger and better equip
ped as long as he did-then the world
must acknowledge that he stands to-
day unexcelled, if not, indeed, une-
qualed, as an executive leader."-Pic-

Country Roads.

Attention cannot be too frequently
drawn to the importance of good roads.
In cities, even, the pavements of the
streets are better index to the popu-
lar taste and to public spirit than are
the walls of public buildings. In the
country, roads are the measure of pub
lie and private enterprise. They ia
vor or hinder Intercourse according as
they are good or bad. and upon inter
course depends to large extent the
intelligence and refinement of q peo-
pie.
The Romans knew we'll not only how
to conquer, but how to civilize and to
govern. They were the road builders
OF their time. There are miles and
miles Of road-bed still in use in Eng
land that was laid down seventeen or
eighteen hundred years ago. In
France they are older and more ex-
tended. Along these lines have grown
up some OF the largest aud most pros
porous cities of the world. Through
many centuries the thoIoughfares fur
nlsiled all the advantages of navigable
waters.
But the arguments drawn from the
profit and loss account is the one most
effective in these days, and that is the
one which readers are most likely to
meet with pretty often in our public
prints. Several estimates made by ex-
perts upon economic questions have
been recently published.
Professor Ely, of Johns Hopkins
University, reckons that "poor roads
cost the farmer, on an average, fifteen
dollars per horse"
Professor jerks, of Knox College,
Illinois, argues that "with good, per-
manent roads freight could often be
hauled ten miles on wagons cheaper
than it could be taken one mile on a
dirt road to a railroad station, unload
ed, put on the cars and carried to it's
destination"
These are the opinions of specialists
who have no doubt gone over a great
many columns of statistics in making
up their estimates. There is no prac-
tical teamster who will not admit the
of their conclusions.
The greatest obstacle, perhaps, to the
desired arises from the
that there are as vet no
really good roads in this country. and
from the other fact that the science of
building roads has never been studied
by our people.-Youtks Companion.
