TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER ?, 1882.

There are many questions Of impor-
lance to the people of Nevada-at the
present time the silver question is, of
course, paramount to amy other, when
considered ~ a question OF the State
affairs but the people of Wadsworth
and vicinity have ii live burning issue
now presented to them, and it's
this-will Wadsworth ever be anything
more than a railroad town and shall
we, her citizens, assist to make it any
thing more than this or shall we be
content To remain as we are-in other
words shall we by our votes help to
make this a thriving town and an ag-
ricnltural center of great importance?
We answer yes We should, and yes We
will. There lies as our people well
know, a short distance from this town
(not over three miles, as fine a body
OF agricultural land as any community
can boast of under the sun. 1t con
tains All area of not less than 10000
acres, with fertile soil of unmeasured
depth and richness-Senator Stewart,
by his ~tireless energy has already sue
ceeded in getting ali appropriation
from Congress, of $500 for the survey
of q canal line from a point near Clarks
station, Is miles up the river from here
to bring water on this body of land
This sum of money has been expended
and the survey made and reports and
estimates of building the canal already
are placed on file in the Interior De
partment-he has not stopped here but
he has prepared a Bill and introduced
it into the Senate, appropriating the
sum OF 100000 for the construction OF
this canal. This bill has not only been
prepared and introduced by our Sem
ator, but he has accompanied its intro
duction, with an approval of his plan,
by the Commissioner Of Indian Affairs,
and by an urgent request from the
Secretary Of the Interior that it do
pass. The purpose of the bill is to
carry out the provisions Of the treaty
made last winter between the Indian
Commissioners and the Piute tribe for
the purchase of hat portion OF their
Reservation south Of a point some miles
north of Wadsworth for the sum OF
$250,O00, and then the expenditure of
not over 100000 of this purchase
money in the construction of this
irrigating canal. Now what does
this mean for Wadsworth? LIST. l
means that Senator Stewart is the
only man who thoroughly under
stands the situation, and has the ability
and will To force the passage of this
bill through the next Congress. End,
1t mean that every man and woman
owning a house in Wadsworth will be
enabled to get a title to his or her
home by the operation of this bill, and
by no other means can this be accom-
plished. Sd, 1t mean the settlement
of this 10000 acres of rich land lying
at our very door, by from 500 to 1000
families, each self-sustaining and pros
porous and the creation of a rich farm
ing community that would have Wads-
worth for its town and distributing
point. 4th, It means a better provision
for the Indians in the way OF making
them self-sustaining and civilized and
further it means that Wadsworth,
WITHIN five years, would be a town of
two thousand inhablt ,nts.
Now the question for us to decide is,
who is the ablest to accomplish these
things and force the passage of this
bill There is only one man who can
do il and that man is VIM. NJ. Stewart.
