Just Our Fix.

The following is from the Walker
Lake Bulletin:
"While our exchanges have been
telling of frozen ink barrels and
saow filed caseswe have been con-
graduating ourselves on living in
such q favored locality where we
have almost perpetual summer
with emily an occasional storm to
break the nouotony, as it were |;
but alas, misfortune is the common
lot; the influenzs has struck the
town and the head of this estsb-
lishment is in the grasp of Ia
grippe; the business has gone to
the devil ia every sense of the
word: We beg our friends to DO
lsuient vilh his Satanic Majesty,
who was obliged to be editor, fore
man, compositor and pressman,
aud we hope for this week only"
This is Just about the tx the AP-
PEAL Is in at present. The editor
has not put in an appearance since
last Saturday and it is rumored
that the drifts between here and
his ranch are twelve feet deep.
Yesterday word came to Living
ston's to send out an installment
Of la grippe medicine.
Most Of the Ia grippe pills taken
around town now are Of the wicker
coated variety.

LOSS ON SILVER.

DIR. Delavan, writing from Vir-

Record. says:
"Wers the rights of free coinage
restored to the people, We would
again see mining lift its head, and
that shares would be sought after.
Tho present discount ON silver Is q
fearful drag on our mines. In many
cases it means the difference be-
tween dividends and assessments,
and in other cases the difference
between the working of the mines
and their lying idle. Take the Cen.

the difference there would be seen
to stockholders in dividends. This

MORNING APPEAL
STORAGE RESERVOIRS.

The storm which has showere,
such . bountiiul supply of snow
throughout our mountains bring,
with it q moral. When the influ
entail men of Nevada offered to ad
vsBce in the interests of irrigation
the fossils held back and refuses
to act.
The heavy SHOWS now lead them
10 think that the State will need
no storage reservoirs as water will
be plentiful and within the next
year or two will be plenty of time
to consider the matter.
This is an incorrect way to lsok
ut the question az the custom OF
waiting for a necessity has often
thrown grand enterprises into the
mire.
Had the reservoirs been built
Eve years ago when the movement
was fret started we would next
year have stood out in bold relief
with success IN the foreground.
The reservoirs could have been
constructed SO that the capacity
would have been double the sup
ply, thereby preparing for q storm
like the one which has covered the
entire county and the result would
have been full reservoirs, and
plenty to spsre. Should the pres
sure in any event become too strong
the gates could be opened and the
excellent drainage in the valleys
weuld be safeguard against ac-
cidents.
Thine people OF Nevada will
never see the necessity of a step
to the front until the chief movers
are weary OF their existence and
cease to labor.
1t is to be hoped that the bounti-
full supply Of water next year will
not be q drawback to the compile
hon of some OF the irrigation
schemes which tend only to bene-
fit rs.
