from so to % cents on Sundays, and
to rs cents on week days after )
o'clock. The 25 cent Sunday rate takes
effect next Sunday. The date for the
new evening rate was not determined.
The action of the Committee is the re-
suit OF long agitation on the subject,
and in responce to popular demand
The Fair is in excellent financial con
dition, and with no reduction, it ID
certain that at the present average at
tendance it will have a surplus on
July l, when it will probably close.

A Huge nugget.

A nugget was hoisted out of the
Smuggler mine, at Aspen, Colorado, a
few days since that for size surpasses
anything ON record, and for richness is
certainly most remarkable. The work
men encountered a huge body of ore,
and in digging around it a~scertained
that it was a monster nugget. After
considerable work they succeeded in
hosting il to the surface intact. The
chunk weighed $500 pounds, and con-
tanned silver to the value OF s25. 900. 1t
is the largest nugget ever known. and
is almost pure.

q They Voter

That the Australian ballot system
and the accompanying safeguards
thrown by it around the purity Of the
ballot box are not always adapted to
the requirements of the situation has
recently been strikingly illustrated in
Kansas. The legislature Of that State
has given the women the proud
privilege Of voting at the municipal
elections, but unfortunately q section
OF the ballot law already in vogue be-
fore and not annuled by the woman
suffrage act, threatens to reduce the
new vote to a minimum. The section
reads as follows: 1.-THE lower limbs
Of the voter as high as the knees shall
be visible from the outside while the
voter is in the booth preparing a ticket,
the lower part OF the booth having to
be left open for that purpose"

A wicked story is told about two
partners who respected each others
business ability. but who hated each
other cordially. To one OF them came
a fairy saying that he could have any
boon he desired, and whatever he had
his partner should have in double por-
ton. Naturally his first wish was for
a barrel OF money. "All right" said
the fairy, "but your partner will get
two barrels on that wish" "Stop a
little," said the first. "Perhaps you'd
better not give me a barrel of money.
I'd rather you would make me totally
blind in one eye."-New Orleans

Log Ampufated.

The Elko Independent Of last Satur-
day says: This morning, while at
tempting to board a freight train at
Palisade, a man named w. T. Mans
field got his right leg horribly mangled
near the knee. From what we can
learn Mansfield has a crippled brother,
who has been deprived Of the use Of
both legs by fever. They were travel
ing together and Mansfield was in the
act of boarding the train with his
brother on his back when he missed
his footing and fell beneath the wheels
Of the moving train. The unfortunate
man was brought here this afternoon
and taken to the County Hospital
where DR.. Henderson amputated the
injured member.

Good detective WORK Needed.

The San Francisco Chronicle says it
is to be hoped that the mystery of the
murder OF Alice Aldersley will be
cleared up. Everything was done by
the interested persons to suppress the
true facts OF the death OF this young
woman. and we hope the father Of the
dead girl will not rest until he has
brought to punishment whoever was
responsible for her death. The Coro-
ner's jury has adopted the general
public opinion that her death vas not
due to suicide. SO that good detective
work ought to strip away the mystery
under which the guilty persons have
shrouded the crime.

abundance of water under easy con- trol. nearly any of the soils of the slightly sloping plains will be found able 10 produce abundantly. A settle ment or colony may thus be establish ed almost anywhere, due regard being had to the needs of transportation. Such communities, established with forcthOught, by honest and able pro- mOters, may soon become nearly self sustaining, if proper attention be given to local manufactures, matter which has too often been neglected in colonial settlements of the far west.
 In some future issue a definite plan for proposed colony. in an irrigablc section of the far West, may be given, but for the present general reference only Is made to the entire feasibility and unQuestioned benefits of the colo nial system of settling new country. The theme is an inspiring one, and q contemplation of the bencncent and Iar-reaching results of proper effort in that direction shonld ill every Amer ican bosom with hope and courage. Whatever may be said by those who have not given this great problem careful consideration. the lands of the United States, now arid and desolate. are certainly destined to become tue theater of the highest development of rural industry. These mountain fast ness and desert plains are destined to become the happy dwelling places of millions of patriotic Americans, dwelling contentedly in hundreds of ree-embroidered villages, having all the healthfulness of the country, and most of the conyeniences and luxuries of the city.
 The loftiest ideals of rural life are not only possible here, but readily att tainabe. Wise legislation and honest exploitation alone are required to plant in the arid west the foundations of a civilization, which shall endure as an object lesson and ultimate goal for the guidance and encouragement of struggling mankind in all coun- tries.

Butchers can buy theirp poultry of the same firms that supply dressed beef and provisions. The trade in live poultry will be in- creased and the trade of smaller deal CTS who ship dressed poultry to the market will be hurt. In other words, the poultry trade will follow more or less in the steps of dressed beef

wise law or custom may be carried too Tar, as in France under the law of I793
 requiring land owners to divide their estates at death equally among their
 heirs. But the tendency in the United
 States has been rather in the opposite direction, and enormous land holdings
 In many parts of the country are to- day bitter foe to progress and to the prosperity Of the masses.
 Right here in the arid region is the place to check this great evil, and by system of just and equitable laws forever prevent the fish like swallow ing of the small landholder by the great one. Careful investigation has led the writer to the conclusion that throughout large part of the arid re. zion, forty acres should be the limit or the average farmstead. In man, parts where climatic conditions are specially favorable, it might be safel, reduced to twenty acres. All over California are found localaties where a ten-acre orchard or farm is able to support family in comfort, and there are many individual instances wherein five acres have been found sufficient for the needs of q refined family.
 In this direction the action of the irrigation convention lately held at Los Angeles. Cal, cannot be too high ly commended, The sense of that con- yention was that the amount of land to be taken up by settlers under the homestead law, in the irrigated sec tions of the arid belt, be restricted to small holdings. In cases of govern mental reclamation of arid districts, the law might well be far less liberal in respect to number of acres to be en- tered than at present. If the develop ment be accomplished by private or corporate enterprise and capital, every restriction limiting the holding to a small area should be made which might be consistent with the best in- terests of the particular section.
 To prevent large holdings should be tine aim not only of the government, but of any and all persons concerned in the development of the arid region for the best interests of the American people.
 But to return to the small colonial settlement. Nothing need be easier, in the way of improving and building mp waste places, than to plant in fa- vorable localities small settlements of intelligent, industrious people, accord ing to some pre-arranged plan, and un- der the intelligent direction of one or more competent persons interested or otherwise, in the high est success of such enterprises.
 The first step is, ef course, tosecure an abundant water supply by storage reservoirs or otherwise, aud, if neces- sary, to subordinate other considera- tlons to this prime necessity. With

 labor of clearing the dense forests of
 oak and hickory, of sycamore, birch
 and maple, would to day appall the
 stoutest heart, to say nothing of par
 alyzing the strongest arm. They
 wrought as no slave of the cotton
 fields of Georgia would have found
 himself equal to, and spent their
 strength and their years in destroying
 the magnificent growth of timber to
 make way for the log cabin and the stumpy ill-cultiyated field. The con ditions of farm life in these years and
 in these wooded fastncsses were labor
 iOus and inconcciyably irksomc. Yet these pioneers puilded mighty states, and a high degree of civilization fol- lowed the sturdy strokes of their brawny arms.
 But what required their patient toll and Spartan fortitude half a life time to achieve may now be wrought out on the dcsolate plains of the arid West within the space of a few months, and with but tithe of the mental and physical strain which fell to the un- happy lot of those elder builders of the commonwealth Let the wealth of waters falling upon the mountain areas but be impounded and poured in uncreasing bounty upon this bare soil and the work is complete. There is no laborious felliDg of the gnarled oak. no interminable waiting for the scanty crop. The husbandman may at once mount his machine blow, and while sitting at his leisure admiring the scenery and contemplating his happy condition. prepare more land in better condition for crop in a single day than his father could have done by the grinding toil of a week among rocks or stunps. This is no fanciful sketch. All this has been done hun drcd times in many places and the man who travels in the right direction will find object lessons by the thous- ands to fully convince him of the truthfulness of the statement here made.
 This is an age of cooperation. Near ly every great business, social or po- litical enterprise, is the result of CO operative efforts toward a definite end. The present conditions of life are such that individual effort along nearly all lines is comparatively unayailing especially if met by unorganized op- position. It has thus come about i that the isolated individual farmer is at the greatest disadvantage in the l struggle for supremacy. As q matter of fact it has become mere struggle for existence.
