Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1893-02-04

THE same old story of consolida-
ton Of counties, on the grounds of
retrenchment, is again being agi-
tated by the present Legislature.
These has not been Legislature for
the past twelve years that has not
brought up the same question, and
after due consideration dropped it
like hot potatoe. There is moth
ing to be saved by a consolidation
of counties. The larger the county
the more expensive it will be to sup
port county government. Take
our own county, for an example.
The consolidation of county officers
and the reduction of salaries for of
ficers has made it an object for of
fees to hunt men, not men the
offices. In fact, in some instances
the salaries are rediculously low,
and should be increased by the
present Legislature. Lyon has very
little criminal business and few civil
cases. She is peaceable commun-
ity, and it costs very little in fees
and mileage to transact all the law
business done here. Should she be
annexed to Storey or Ormsby, or
split in two for their benefit, the diff
ference in the cost of running those
counties would more thon offset the
amount that would be saved by do
ing away with our county govern
ment. There is no wonder that
Storey would like to have some of
agricultural land and assessable
property to help her out, but it
would not be fair to the people of
this county. Lyon, to-day is one of,
if not the most, prosperous agricul-
tural counties in the State. She is
growing slowly but surely, and will
in a few years show rapid strides.
Should the silver representatives at
Washington be able to obtain our
rights so far as the unlimited coin
age of silver is concerned Lyon
would astonish the world by her
production of the precious metal.
Our people are satisfied with the
way they are now situated so far as
boundary lines are concerned, and
our Legislators had better wait I'M
til those interested ask for change
before they make any.

CAN WE GROW OUR OWN sUGARr

CAN WE GROW OUR OWN SUGAR.
The people of the United States
consume at least million and a
half tons of sugar every year. At
present not more than 10 per cent.
of that amount is produced within
our own territory. Cuba produces
about 100000 tons of cane sugar,
Germany produces 100000 tons
of beet sugar, and other European
countries as much more. The total
sugar product of the world is lit
tie over six million tons. The
worlds consumption of sugar is
rapidly outrunning the production.
In three years it has increased l.
083,0O0 tons, an average of 361, 900
tons per year. Last year the con-
sumption was 6,289,OOO tons, and if
this year shows the usual increase
the consumption will be 6,650,00O
tons. Careful statisticians, how
ever, have estimated this years
probable crop at only 6, 100000 tons,
of which 100000 tons is produced
from beets and 100000 tons from
cane. 1t is evident, therefore, that
unless there is soon a large increase
in sugar production, the demand
will largely exceed the supply.
The production of sugar from
beets was first begun in France in
1911, under the auspices and direct
ion of Napoleon Bonaparte. 1t is
only within the last thirty years,
however, that beets have rivaled
and finally surpassed cane as sugar
producers. At present continental
Europe not only grows its own
sugar, but also exports largely,
principally to the United States,
which is, both absolutely and in
proportion to population, by far the
greatest sugar consuming country
in the world. If Europe can pro-
duce her own sugar, why cannot
the United States do the same
thing? 1t has been found by ex-
pertinent that the beets in Germany
produce from 10 to Is per cent. of
saccharine matter, and at the latter
figure their cultivation is exceed
ingly profitable. 1t has been dem
onstrated that in the vast dry up
land plains of our Western country,
where the sun is almost always shin
ing, and where the amount of mois-
ture can be regulated by irrigation,
the beets will produce at least IS
per cent. of saccharine matter; and
it is fair to presume that with prop
er selection of seed and proper cul-
tivation the percentage could be
raised at least to 20. The raising
of beets for this purpose has only
lately been begun in the United
States, but the concerns that are
now operating are understood to be
making a handsome return upon
the capital invested.
If Europe, with its limited area
and it's partially worn out soil, can
raise sugar for it's own consumption,
certainly this country, with its al
most limitless expanse of cultiva-
BILE lands not yet in use, and with
its virgin soil and its happier eli
matte conditions, ought to be able
to raise more sugar than Europe.
There is here an opportunity for
capital that is not often PRESENTED.
The cane sugar supply has about
reached its limit. The demand is
already in excess of the supply in
sight. If the present provisions OF
the Mckinley law with respect to
sugar could be maintained it would
notbe too much to expect that within
a few years the United States would
be producing the larger part of its
own sugar.

Elijah. His wisdom seems almost of

II is said that the cry of an ostrich is
like the roar Of lion, and the Hotten-
tots often run from It in fright until
they see the bird.
The ostrich is a generous layer.
Sixty eggs will be found in and around
single nest. One Of these eggs is
equal to twentyfour hens eggs. The
Hottentots and Bushmen cook an
ostrich egg by putting one end in hot
fire. Through an opening in the other
they stir the contents, putting IN salt
and pepper, making a very palatable
omelet.
1t is never safe to drop any article

The ostrich will eat anything, seeming
apparently to have no sense of taste.
A story is told Of young girl who was
visiting zoo where a large ostrich
snatched her kid gloves, which were
rolled into ball, and ate them. The
next day the girl returned with family
contribution of half dozen pairs OF
gloves, all OF which were as readily
swallowed.
While the ostrich has absolutely no
brain-see Job for authorty-it has
vicious propensities that show some
sort of wicked intelligence. Some
Cape Town people had fowl fatting
in a special coop near an ostrich kraal.
The bird dropped and grew thin. 1t
was watched and seen to peer through
the Stats of its coop, curious to watch
its neighbors, the ostrlches. Every
time it put its head out it received a
kick from its neighbor, and would soor
have died had it not been removed

a staggering blow from his gentle
spouse which sent him with dropping
feathers into a corner.
Old Lightning belonged to an ostrich
farm at San Diego and was a mag
nifcent bird. He acquired his name
from the rapidity with which he could
pluck a lighted cigar or pipe from {
visitors mouth or remove his watch
and chain or any ornament he coulc
discover. The noiseless manner in
which he could steal up behind one
and then nip some personal property
was remarkable. He was a natural
born thief. Once he snatched all the
flowers off young lady's hat. Al
another time he attempted to TO swal-
low diamond earring, but as it was
fast in its owners ear he could moi
manage it.
Old Lightning's greatest feat was
