SEEKING A LOCATION.
Three Hundred Families DESTROYS Of
Locating iW Nevada Lyon Can Ac-
e0mOdate Them.


The following letter was received
at this Office this week:
Los ANGELES, July 81, 1894.
ED. LYON County TIMEs:--On
behalf of about three hundred, or
more, families, mostly Americans,
who wish to settle somewhere in
the west, in locality where irriga
BILE lands can he obtained upon
reasonable terms, | write to inquire
if you know of any land owners or
agents in your neighborhood who
would be disposed to treat literally
with such a colony. In making
terms we would, of course, want
due recognition made OF the value
such colony would add to the
land adjoining their settlement.
| am making similar inquiries of
other newspapers in your State
with the hope of getting our pros
pective colony located before the
end of the year.
1t is probable that you, or some
OF your advertisers or subscribers,
may be able to assist me in select
ing a desirable location. If so, l
will be much gratitied if you or
they will address me as below.
Yours respectfully,
J. J. MARTIN,
22l2 Sheridan St, Los Angeles,
California.
The above inquiries should be
given attention hy the land owners
of this county. There is plenty of
land on the Carson River for such
a colony, and it would be a great
advantage TO the county to have a
colony of this class of people. Mr..
Newlands, Congressman from this
State, is the possessor of a large
tract of land on the Carson, but
whether it is large enough for such
number of people is a question.
Correspondence with him at Wash
ington, or with James Newlands,
Dayton, Lyon county, Nevada,
would probably secure~the desired
information.
There conld be no grander scheme
for this county than the establish
ment of a colony on the Carson
river. II the the large ranches
owned by Nrwlands, Pray, Stinson
& Phillips, Howard and Newman
were cut up into 100-acre farms,
there would be more than enough
land for 200 families There is
plenty of water each season for all
this land, and there is much more
good land in this valley that could
be put under cultivation by a sys-
tenn of irrigation. There is now a
creamery located on the Newland's
property, and another one built
further up the river would make a
market for a great deal of milk +,
while the establishment of beet
sugar factory at this point would,
in connection with the creameries,
furnish market, close at home,
for the product of the farms.
A family could live we'll on an
hundred-acre tract. Farmers can
raise their own iiving-pork, beef,
mutton, chickens, and all kinds of
vegetables, and many kinds of fruit,
so that the mainScrop could be con-
sidered the cash income.
Mr.. Newlands could do no great
er service to the State than to colo
nize his big ranches and bring a
desirable lot of locators here. He
is doing some good work in this
line, but the State can stand much
more of it.

where the elevated road Is.

This happened in Brooklyn, you muss
know, and we were to take Sound
steamer in New York. We took our
hand baggage and hurried toward the
elevated station. Just before we
reached it Maude said: Howard, where
are the passes?"
I went through my pockets. The
passes weren't there, I remembered
putting them where a search couldn't
fail to reveal them.
Probably" said to myself, 81 put
them in some conspicuous position in
our fiat"
I led Maude into little grocery
store near the station. left her in
charge OF the hand bags, the bundles,
and my light overcoat which she had
laid over barrel and sat down upon.
Then, under the blazing sun, l ran
back to our fat. Maude had set ii
nicely in order SO that everything
would be right in place when we
should come back. 1t didn't look 80
pretty when got through. I went
from one end to the other, throwing
everything down and turning It inside
out. But 1 didn't find the passes.
Dripping with perspiration, returned
to Maude and prcstrated myself in the
dust of humiliation. / became at once
q creature marked by disgrace. Twas
the Man Who Had Lost His Passes, and
anybody could see it, by the way
Maude looked at me.
: We assembled the stairs of the ele-
waited station. In Brooklyn they don't
have ticket choppers. The passengers
are counted by an automatic metal
turnstile which is much better than q

had been ordered 30 polish this turn
stile. If it had been question OF pro
lviding pound of ice for the human
being who sold tickets, the company
would have declined, but the turnstils
had to be polished with the thermom-
eter at hundred degrees in the shade.
Maude walked through, and there In
stantly appeared on the front of her
pretty gray travelling dress a highly
artistic picture Of the turnstile done in
black polishing powder. When Maude
saw this interesting decoration, gra-
tuitorsly furnished by On obliging corr
poration, she said: ~This wouldn't have
happened, Howard, If you hadn't lost
those passes. We should have been

a sponge on that dress. It lacked but
fifteen minutes of the hoar Of our boats
departure when the picture Of that
turnstile finally yielded to trestment.
We reached the wharf In ten minutes,
just as our trunks were being unloaded
from the wagon.
Then I had another lucid moment.
1t was just long enough for me to re-
member that had put those passes In
q pocket. Was 1t the pocket Of the

Why, OF course. / remembered that /
had packed that coat IN the bottom OF

open, In the middle Of the room, and
walk around, gathering up such OBJ

into the trunk without paus;ng in my
walk, and when they stick up over the

master laughed when / opened my
trunk on the wharf to look for that
coat. He was not very large baggage

to laugh ct a man who has lost his

sighed. Such being the case did not
dare to knock the baggage master
down. because the horse, suddenly de.
prired of his support, would have fall.
en- to pieces, and l should have been
obliged to pay for him. So returned
to my trunk and went to the bottom Of
it. 1 found that coat, and the passes
were not In it Msude said that I
might have known that they weren't
there We went aboard the boat
just as the lines were being cast off. I
found my way TO the state-room which
l had engaged, and sat down on ths
berth with my aching head IN my hands.
l had had nervous strain on account
ot those internal passes which l knew
that no paltry month OF alleged rest
could cure. l had spoiled my vacation
before ii was begun.
Maude was putting things TO rights
in the state room. Suddenly she ex.
claimed: whats that sticking out OF

1t was the envelope with the passes.
