There 10 more inquiry for sheep
by buyers who are In or contsm-
plato going into that business than
there has been for the past several
years. II Ia the only industry that
the contraction Of the currency has
not fatally crippled In Nevada. Al
though the price Of wool has been
falling for years under high tariff |
the wool growers are about the only
ones engaged in our varied indus
tries who have withstood the finan-
cial depression. A very industri-
GUS and intelligent gentleman, who
has been in the business In this
county only three years, informs us
that IL he can get 10 or IL cents q
pound for wool for the next four or
five years he will be willing to quit
the business, 60 back 10 the old
country and live like lord the bal
ance Of his days.-Winnemucca

The conditions for profitable sheep
raising in Nevada and Idaho are
just about equal, yet the Nevada
sheep men have not yet formed O
State Bellyache Association (run
in the interest Of Mcconnell and the
Republican party; they have no,
yet reduced herders' wages to $40
per month; they have not yet cut
down the price for shearing, and
they have not yet induced their Re
publican Governor TO call the as
SCISSORS together for the sole purpose
of reducing taxes on sheep. In fact
the Nevada sheep men don't seem
TO "bellyache" at all, but are con
tent with a fair profit which they
claim they are even now realizing
But this may be all owing to thu
fact that Nevada has not a ''scab'
Governor nor narrow-minded. par

| The cattle-raising and horse
raising interests of Idaho have suf
fered probably more by the declin'
in prices foi the past few years thar
has that of sheep-raising, yet Their
lie no move TO cut in two the as
sessed valuation of horses and cat

Sale of House Lots at East Deerine.

Many of. the residents of Portland are de-
sirous of locating in the new city of Deer
ing, where land OF the line OF the cars can
be bought at reasonable prices, and homes
erected at an outlay not exceeding their
means. Especially is this true of many of
the laboring people .of the city, who are
living in rents. An opport unity will be
given to such people on Wednesday of this
week to purchase lot of land which for
convenience, healthfulness and location, is
not excelled by any part of the country
round about Portland. The Richardson
Land company are to offer twenty fine
house lots. situated on the Lunt propertv
at East Deering, on the date above man
toned. viz: Wednesday, the oath, at two
O'Clock sharp In the afternoon. This will he
a straight out and out sale, and these LOT
are offered simply as inducements to parties
to build and thus enhance the value of the
property. The Richardson's have already
built new streets through this property and
intend to erect twenty-five new houses here
as soon as possible. Further particulars can
be had at the place CT sale Wednesday.
