r l.. Fulton makes the following
interesting report TO the Nevada
Weather Bureau: However successful
agriculture by irrigation ma, be il
cannot begin to equal the natural
moisture which falls from the clouds,
and the heavy rains of this Spring
have enabled the farmers to secure un-
usually good crops of every kind.
The hay crop of the Humboldt will
not be nearly all saved, and the same
is true of many other farming dis
tricts, especially in the stock raising
positions of the State. In the alfalfa
producing region the yield will be
very tair aud the quality excellent, hut
the cost of putting the hay into the
stack may he Increased u litt,e bY the
advanced rate Of wages paid laborers.
They demand 81 90 day and board,
which has been generally paid
throughout Western Nevada. The
gram crop is excellent Wheat will
be heavy aad there is nothing now to
indicate an attack from any kind of an
| enemy. Much of the wheat at Love
locks will produce from 80 to IS bush
els per acre, and there is nm Increase of
acreage both there and in the valleys
further west The fruit crop will be
immense, Apples have never prom.
ised better, also all sorts Of small fruits
and small berries have done well.
Peaches are turning out well; plums
and pears the same. The markets are
looking very we'll Hay is being
shipped at the rate of six car loads a
day from Lovelocks to San Francisco,
and some of 1t is goingto Chile, South
America. The wheat market promises
to absorb all our surplus at highest
prices paid for several years, aud the
price for mutton, beef aud all our
staples are strong, SO we may con
iidently look Tor n prosperous year.

The Best of All.

The large amount of money which
has been paid out in dividends from
the Con. Cal. & Virginia mine is
simply marvellous, considering the size
Of the property, which only measures
1910 feet laterally in the vein. Pre-
vieus to the consolidation of the Con.
Virginia with the California in 1884,
the Con. Virginia paid in dividends
$40,000,000, and the California paid
$31 100000. Since the consolidation
1854, 800 have been paid IN dividends,
making a grand total of $74 1874, 800
for the two claims.

thou whoop 'em up with the boys and
figure for the substance OF the jack pot,

Verify | say unto thee, if thou art in a
bad row of stumps, it will not be long

and thou wilt wake up and find thou
hast fallen in the soup, Keep thine
eye on The gun and monkey not with
the intoxicating juice of bug. Steer
wildly from the man with the aces and

Frostburg is about l,500 feet higher

the metropolis claims to have far
better assortment of air than Cumber-
land and variety of water much
superior to that of Homecoming.

BreVities.

A Homecoming man, lately returned
to his home after an absence of several
years, says he knows now how people
feel when they get to heaven.
Cumberland has now the best beer
in this neck of Maryland woods and
the worst water.
There is said to be 16-months old
boy in Pekin that whistles "Anne
Rooney" and wait till the Clouds
Roll By" Homecoming is wildly en-
thusiastic and almost refuses to con-
slider Midland and other suburbs in it,
Titus A. Brick gets a paper whose
motto ls-"It Pays to be Agreeable.'
The fact is mentioned here because
Titus has observed that it often
happens that the context of standing
text should be studied as well as the
affirmation. He thinks that the real
meaning of two that he can easily re-
call is-"This is an Organ-not a
Newspaper" and 1T is Agreeable to
be Paid"
1t seems to be understood now that
Clarysville, following the fashion of
absorption down the Creek. is to be
annexed to Eckhart. This will make
the latter bigger, but it will be less
select than it was.
Cumberland expects to have an cleo
tric railway before it celebrates another
Allegany county birthday.
An Eckhart infant q years old
knows the alphabet by heart and the
10 digits at sight. His father believes
that if the boy lives he will be a
smarter man than Schonfarber. On
the other hand, if the old man can
find out the contrary in time he thinks
he will kill the kid.
A resident of Homecoming was
advised by his physician to seek a
change of climate. He moved TO the
lower end.
A man of strange demeanor,
evidently suffering from mental aber-
alton, was found on Knapp's meadow
the other day seeking the way to
Homecoming. He could not be made
to understand that he was in it.
Butter is so plentiful at Pompey
Smash that the people have temper
arily stopped eating bacon gravy.
The new water works at Homecoming
will have labial faucet for Sample
and gum spray for Robinson. The
former will teach its beneficiary how
to drink water ; the latter will sewerize
prolivity to editorial vulgarity.
