Our State University i.

Each succeeding year demonstrates
more clearly the excellence of the
State University as am institution of
learning, says the Reno Gazette. Every
county in the State has young repre-
sentatives who are being educated and
who will go forth in the world fully
equipped to do life's work well, as
bright and shining examples of the
effect of a University education. Prob
ably in no other University in the
United States has so much been done
in the same length of time. In addi-
ton to the very able corps of instruc-
tors in the regular departments, the
general government has placed it on
the list for special military instruc-
ton. Of the heutenants detailed for
this work none rank higher than
Lieutenant J. M. Neall, who in the
past three years has won the respect
of not only the students, but every
one in Reno's social swim as well. The
Government Experiment Station is
also of great benefit to the entire
State, providing accurate instruction
in the several departs of entomology,
chemistry and agriculture. 1t is to
be regretted, however, that in State
which must depend largely on its
agricultural possibilities for future
prosperity, the department. of agricul-
ture has been neglected by the rising
generation. We must rely greatly on
the cultivation of small farms, and
every ten, twenty and forty acres must
support family sometime in the near
future; and no better opportunity was
ever afforded young man to learn
how to tickle mother earth and make
her yield a bountiful supply of all the
good things than is afforded by the
Experiment Station. We cannot all
be professors in one branch of indus
try The mistake that many young
men make is wanting to be lawyers,
doctors, civil engineers or something
else that promises wealth without man
ual labor, and the sooner we pay more
attention to the everyday way of earn
ing our bread, the better for the pros
perity of the individual and the COM
munity.

Murder at Carlin.

From the Elko Independent of the
9th we take the following:
Sheriff Henderson received dis
patch last evening from Deputy Sher-
if Howard at Carlin, stating that
George Rice of Tuscarora had killed a
cowboy there and had left for the Red
House, on the road between Carlin
and Tuscarora. There are number
of conflicting reports about the affair,
and the following from our Carlin
correspondent is probably as near cor
rect as it is possible to give at the
present time:
It seems that two cow boys named
Wesley Hickerson and George Rice,
were playing with each other late in
the afternoon at their camp, about a
mile north of Carlin and while lassoe-
ing each other, they became angry and
Hickerson shot three times at Rice
with his revolver. Rice then started
toward Carlin on horseback, but after
going short distance turned around
and went back to camp and lassoed
Hickerson again, both being on horse
back. Rice jerked Hickerson from
his horse and dragged him around con-
siderably and finally told the boys to
take Hickerson out of the rope or he
would drag him to death. The boys
took Hickerson out of the rope and he
died soon afterward. The deceased

sustained a severe injury on the side
of his head, near the top, which caused
his death and which it is thought he
received when Rice jerked him from
his horse.
Soon after the trouble Rice jumped
on his horse and struck out for the
Red House, % miles north of Carlin.
Deputy Sheriff Howard and Constable
Carlyle of Carlin and Deputy Sheriff
Natter have gone in pursuit.
The parents of the dead man live
at Fort Bidwell, Cal.

A Setback.

Two weeks ago the NEWS published
an article under the heading GA
Brighter Outlook" which the mining
situation at that time warranted us in
saying every word we did. The arti-
Gle was extensively copied by our ex-
changes and some embellished it with
rainbow hues of their own, which will
no doubt have the effect of starting
many men looking for work in this
direction.
After two weeks work on the Chan
man, Supt. Jackson received word
from Marcus Daley to suspend opera
tions and pay off the men, which was
done last Monday. This probably
ends the deal with the Montana par
ties. No one was more surprised at
this sudden and unexpected action
than Mr.. Jackson, who still expresses
his entire confidence in the merits of
the property and says that two weeks
work in the mine under his administra-
ton more fully confirms his faith in
the merits of the mine and the district
in general.
Mr. jackson remains with us and
has not given up his confidence of
being able to handle the property in
some other quarter.
The owners of the chairman have
again assumed control and are work
ing their former quota of men.

Shooting ON the ComstOck


The Virginia Chronicle gives the
following particulars of the shooting
of Dave Crosby by Fred Sharon at
Virginia City on Thursday of last
week:
Crosby met Sharon on G street and
dunned him for money claimed to be
due him. Angry words were ex-
changed when Sharon pulled gun
and fired four shot at Crosby, only
one of which struck the mark.
After the shooting Sharon walked
to the Sheriff's office and gave himself
up and Crosby was taken to DR.. Pack
ards office. The doctor found that
the ball had entered the left thigh,
passing through the flesh without
striking a bone and missing the fem
oral artery.
Sharon had not been in jail more
than half an hour when friends came
to his rescue and deposited 81, 900
bail for his release which was accepted
by the justice.
The affair caused intense excitement
and the street was soon lined with
people to find out particulars of the
affair.

If lunar conditions are favorable to
human existence, and it is not certain
that they are not, and you could be
transported to the top of Pico or some
other tall peak or rock on the surface
of our "silvcry sister world" how do
you suppose things would look from
such vantage ground? You would
probably FIRST turn your eyes in the
direction of our earth, the world you

stranger In place of the sombcr
globe you would naturally expect to
behold your eyes would be greeted with
most wonderful sight. The earth
would appear to you to be siSty-four
times larger than the sun appears to
the residents of this mundane sphere;
this because the earth has eight times
the diameter of the moon, therefore she
must necessarily show the moonitcs
sixty-four times as much surface as the
moon shows us, The sun, on the other
hand, would appear no larger to you
from your observatory on the moon

been decided that the earth must APP

A Few Facts

From ls40 tO ls73-silyer was de. monetized in lsT2-the price of silver per fine ounce was almost as unmOy. ing as the north star. In lsI0 the price sI .323: lf ls44. s13l4: in ls4s, sl.3l9: in Is50 sl.3l6. in 1855, SI.344; in 1860 sl.352: in 1865, sl.33s: In 1870, sl. BPS: in 1872. sl.322.
 These quotations show exclusively that silver was not demonetized because it was cheap, and it's rapid decline from 1874. when it was quoted at Sl. PTS to 1889 its average value was was s0.03G was unquestionably due to it's demonetlzation.
 The out put of precious metals in the United States is not increasing There is more silver it is true, but less gold. The production of Gold and silver in the country in 1860 was $l.5O per capita: in 1870, sl.6O; in 1880, Sl.56: in 1890 Sl.5j. There was more actual value in the out put of 1890 than in that of 1860, but as factor for money coinage, the amount was about the same.
 The dishonesty Of subjecting the country to a single standard, and that a gold one, is emphasized by the fact, that from 1850 to 1920 our annual production of gold has de- clined from sl.63 to 5 cents per capita. The decline in production is more than the increase of popula- tion. Under such circumstances is the single gold money basis q fair and just one.

Electric Traction.

The growth of electric traction in this country is one of the most marvel ous developments of the century. A leading street railway journal draws attention to the fact that in the past five years the mileage of the street railways operated by electricity has increased from fifty miles to over 5000 which is a greater mileage than that of all the other street railways in the country. operated by both animal and other forms of motive power. Of this large total nearly one-third Has built in 1892 No estimate has yet been given of the aggregate increase in yaluo of suburban property that has been improved by the running of new electric lines, but the amount must he enormous. as q large proportion of the late building has been in suburban dis trcts. particularly in the east. In July. 1890, the street railway mileage of the country was 3.650 miles; it new reaches a total of ll,655 miles, or an increase of 5000 miles in the past two and one-half'ycars. During 1892 there was an additional increase of l,066 miles. Some Of these lines have been introduced into the most crowded part of large cities. where it is admitted that cable traction would be more economical The reason for this prob ably lies in the fact that if would be far less economical to change from electric to cable power for the short distance than to retain the system already in operation.

If you desire good fruit don't let your trees oyerbear. One good fruit is worth dozen scrubby specimens. Where the fruit is too thickly set on the trees, thin it out, leaving a hands breadth of space between the fruit. Some experienced growers recommend even six inches. It may hurt your feelings to apparently waste so much gGod fruit, but the result will pay you.
