Books Made of Clay.

Far away beyond the plains of Meso-
potamia, on the banks of the river Tigris,
lies the ruins of the ancient city of Nine
veh. Not long since huge mounds of
earth and stone marked the place where
the palaces and walls of the proud capital
of the great Assyrian empire stood The
spade and scraper, first of the French
and then of the English, have cleared all
the earth away and laid bare all that re-
mains of the old streets and palaces where
the proud princes of Assyria walked and
lived. The gods they worshiped and
the books they read have all been revealed
to the sight of wondering world
The most curious of all the curious
things preserved in this wonderful man
ner are the clay books of Nineveh. The
chief library of the city was contained in
the palace of Kanyunjik. The clay books
which composed its contents were sets of
tablets covered with very small lette rs.
The tablets are all oblong in shape, and
when several of them are used for one
book the first line of the tablet following
was written at the end of the one pre-
ceding it. The writing was done when
the clay of the tablet was soft; it was
then baked to harden it. Each tablet was
numbered just as librarians of today
number the books of which they have
charge.-St. Louis Republic.

Alliance Objects.

The object ofthe Washington Farmers
Alliance as set forth in the constitution
and bylaws is as follows
To unite the farmers of the state for
the promotion of their interest, socially,
intellectually and financially.
To secure the enactment of laws to
regulate the interstate commerce and to
establish equitable relations between the
people and the roads, making the rights
and duties of each depend not upon
doubtful discretion, but upon positive
enactment.
To secure the enactment and enforce
ment of laws prohibiting the use of free
passes by public officials.
To demand that taxation, corporate
and individual, shall bel equalized, to
the end that the burdens of government
may be equitably borne by all who en-
joy it's protection.
To urge such changes in the constitu-
ton as may be necessary to make the
Office of United States senator elective,
to the end these high offices NAV become
really representative of the people and
cease to be representative merely of
state and capital factions and state
capital bargains.
The scope and purposes of the Far
mers' Alliance, it will be observed are
broad. No question which affects the
agricultural interests of the country,
whether social, intellectual, financial or
economic side, is foreign to it. 1t real

thought and training than does the sue
cessful farming of today. 1t feels that
no farmers home can afford to be with
out liberal supply of the best moral,
scientific, agricultural and political litera-
ture of the times. 1t feels that with
such supply, and by means of intelligent
discussion of those topics, it will be
possible to make every farmers home a

The Australian ballot bill is causing
the warmest fight of the session. 1t
passed the house, and went through the
senate with a rider in the shape of an
amendment which virtually puts the
primaries in Portland in the hands of
the police. The house failed to concur
in the amendments and conference will
be held. 1t has been demonstrated that
Simon can command sixteen votes in the
senate and it is therefore pretty certain
that the Australian ballot system will be
adopted with it's amendments, or it will
not be adopted at all. The bill was
well circulated before the last election,
and both parties were pledged to its
adoption. We cannot understand how
any member of the legislature can juggle
with his conscience by insisting on the
amendments, but.they can all the same,

p0uueu IN ascending four or five hundred,
or perhaps thousand miles of swift
current, the force would be exhausted,
the fuel would give out. 1t does not
seem reasonable that these fish can
accomplish the journey, with no greater
amount of fuel than is contained in the
fat of their bodies. Besides, is it not
remarkable to say the least, that these
fish would deny themselves food while
in the Columbia, yet take it greedily the
moment they have passed out of it into
it's tributaries? They take bait readily
at the Willamette falls, and in the Sandy,
Hood River and Deschutes are suffi
ciently ravenous to furnish good sport for
the angler. On the face of the affair the
theory of total abstinence from food
while in the Columbia, is untenable; |;
for why should they refuse food in the
Columbia, yet seek it eagerly the
moment they are out of it, as they GER
tainly do? We believe they take food
while on their way up the river, and
that this food is of such nature that it's
presence in the stomach of the fish is not
eous idea has gained credence that they
do not eat. If any one will take bucket
of Columbia river water and strain it
through cloth, we think he will make
discovery which will probably cause a
doubt of the on-eating theory. Years
ago while employed in teaching school
on Sauvie's island, we noticed one of
Hit. Bonser's little girls straining a
bucket of water drought from the Col
umbia for the school children to drink
through cloth. Our curiosity was
aroused, as the water was to all appear
ances, clear and pure, and we could not
understand why it should be strained.
We understood better when she got
through, for the cloth contained at least
two tablespoons full of small perfectly
transparent, jelly-like fish, each from a
half to three quarters of an inch in length
and shaped like pike minnow. In the
water they were perfectly invisible, yet
they were there numerously. These we
believe furnish food for the salmon on
their run up the Columbia, and their
absence in some of the tributaries cause
the fish to seek other food. We imagine
that these miniature "water COLOR fishes
would be easily digested, and that while
furnishing the motive power to the
salmon, their presence in it's stomach
would easily escape detection. The
total abstinence theory is untenable, and
we believe that an examination of the
subject will disclose the fact that the
salmon find an abundance of food in the
invisible little 'small fry,' which the
school children of Sauvie' island objected
to in their drink

From the streams mentioned, moth
ing can be done except with great
expense which will increase with the
amount of land reclaimed. The first
proposition would be to convert the
lower end OF Independence Valley in
to reservoir AMI carry the water to
the desert. This would require
canal over thirty miles long alohg a
mountain side to conduct the water
upon the land, as the main Owyhee
flows a couple hundred feet below the
level Of the desert: 1t would irrigate
100000 acres or more. Next would
be to extend the canal North east
to where Bull Run creek leaves the
mountain, construct reservoir in
the Basin, and conduct the waters of
that and Deep creek over to the des-
ert, and irrigate at least as much
more land. The proposition to con-
duct the water of Owyhee upon the
desert has been; spoken of for years,
bat the general belief that our State
is worthless, and an, utter desert, has
kept capital from taking hold of an
enterprise that is sure to pay we'll for
the investment and create garden
out of the desert Fhe climate here
is the best in the county;. there being
no frosts in the Summer months, and
the snowfall being very light, The
soil is tho richest and most lasting
known. In the old world this kind
Of soil has been cultivated as far back
as history or tradition extends, and 10
as rich now as then. The land is Gov
cred with sage brush, white sage and
grass, and is at present the Winter
range for all the stock around.
This completes the general descrip-
ton Of the agricultural resources of
Elko county, but it must not he sup.
posed that it is all our resources, and
that we must depend on mining and
agriculture only. The principal
industry to-day in the county has
been barely mentioned, and that is
stock-raising. But we only turn out
the crude product, and it is left for
more enterprising people to take adj
vantage Of it. Instead Of Strengthening
our beeves ut home, and having tan
neries, boot and shoe factories, pack
ing establishments and other branch
es Of work that would be created by
them, our cattle are shipped abroad
and we buy back the furnished pro-
ducts. Our wool goes the same way.
Whatever can be raised and mar
ket found for it abroad is sent off;
but what might be raised for the
home market is neglected, and our
home market is supplied from out
side sources. To-day -four, meal po-
tatoes, chickens, turkeys, eggs, butter,
cheese, ham and bacon are almost
entirely furnished from Utah and the
East. The last two furnish an impor-
tant part Of the Expectations, into
this county aud State. And IL all
the rahchers in the county at present
were to convert the grain they raise
into hams and bacon 1t would be i'm
possible to supply the State market.
In our Numerous mountain streams,
we have source Of power for manu-
factories that could compete with
any in the Union. Our climate Ia as
healthy and bracing as can be found
anywhere; and our people live more
extensively, work less, have more
money TO the person spend it more
freely, grumble more to the acre, and
run down the State more and with
| less cause thnu the inhabitants of
