The Cattle Market.

keenan, & Sons, OF Chicago, in their
first trade circular of the season, among
other things say: Last year just as the
range cattle market opened we were in
the midst of the labor strike at Chicago.
The hot winds in Nebraska, Iowa,
Kansas, and portion of Missouri and
Illinois at that time ruined the corn
The result was that we had no demand
for feeding cattle; but Notwithstanding
these draw backs, we had fair demand
for beef, and western cattle brought
fair prices. Ranchmen felt that under
all the existing circumstances they were
receiving q fair price for their cattle.
This year we start out with much
brighter outlook; first, we have one Of
the best prospects for good corn crop
that the country has known; labor is in
much better condition than last year,
mills and factories are running through
out the country, and but little dissatis-
faction existing. We find hides worth
100 per cent.more than last year; cattle
fatter and with large decrease in the
number throughout the country. With
the opening up Of the market, sales
show SOC per lO0 advance over last years
prices, and we can see no reason why
western cattle ranchmen should not
feel jubilant over the prospects for the
coming season. The demand for feed
ers will be good; the supply Of ccrn-fed
cattle on hand throughout the country
is short, and with your cattle fat enough
for export as well as all other purposes,
the western ranchman never started out
with brighter prospects in sight than at
present"
The above will be welcome news to
the many cattlemen of this and Yampa
river valleys, who will have beef to turn
off this fail.

Farmer. should Organize.

The farmers OF the future, to make O
good beginning now, should first or
ganize for mutual counsel and cooper
alton in their business, says the Lyon
county Times. That's what every
other great and successful industry has
done. In every township a farmers
club should be formed, whose exclu.
sive object should be the promotion Of
successful agriculture. Politics and
everything else should be eschewed.
The causes Of waste should be discuss
ed. The leaks should be investigated
and stopped. The value OF diversified
farming should be shown. The sue
cessful men, and there are a few,
should enlighten their less fortunate
associates upon the causes OF their fall
ures. Notes should be compared. The
old lessons of industry, thrift and Of
adapting means to ends need to be re-
hearsed in these schools. Courage
must be instilled into those who have
lost heart. Where there is a will there
is a way. II the farmers OF Nevada
would organize for patient and intelli-
gent work, and stick together. the day
OF their redemption would soon be at
hand.

his life. It was a parting with him
self, or rather a part Of himself. He
was in an engagement before Peters
burg and had the misfortune to come
in contact with a piece Of broken shell
which exploded near him, and which
succeeded in shattering his leg. Am
putation was necessary, and shortly
after he was lying in his tent. As he
looked up he saw a cart piled up with
legs and arms OF others who had been
unfortunate in the engagement, and
right on top he recognized his own leg.

The Home saloon OF Bishop Fellows
In Chicago, fools a great many old to-

much like beer as science could con-
coct without its being the real thing.
The saloon has q big bar, with q sub.

dozen towels. Back OF the bar is q
white coated bartender, and back OF
him are big mirrors and rows Of
shelves, covered with black bottles
bearing gaudy labels. A row Of lem
ons and q bowl Of cracked ice help to
make up the illusion. Every day some
thirsty victim wanders in and orders
beer" He gets a glass OF foaming

can't inebriate. The victim usually
gulps it down, then opens and shuts

but usually he walks slowly away,
wondering whether or not his stomach
is all ight.-Chicago Letter.

Credis where IL Is due.

The State Fair, which closed last
week. is admitted by all who attended
it to have been one OF the most sue.
cessful and satisfactory ever held in
Nevada. The credit is principally due
to President Powning of the State Ag-
ricultural Society. In the face OF dull
times, low prices, scarcity OF money,
and other obstacles, which to many
seemed almost insurmountable, he I'M
dertook the task Of making the Fair a
success. He inspired confidence in
the board Of directors. and by personal
appeals to representative citizens pre-
vailed upon them to exhibit their live
stock, their products and their handi-
work. At his instance the directors
brought attractions from far and near,
sparing neither trouble nor expense to
make the occasion interesting as we'll
as profitable. The result has exceeded
the expectations OF the most sanguine
and silenced the croakers, who pre-
dicted that the Fair would be a dismal
failure. Notwithstanding the dull
times thousands visited Reno during
the week and the Fair has been one Of
pleasure to all and one Of profit to
many. While the directors and all
concerned deserve praise, the mem.
bers Of the board admit that the sue
cess Of the Fair, socially and financi-
ally, is mainly due to the indomitable
energy. pluck and public spirit Of GO.
Powning.-Reno Journal.

Edwin A. stau,. MISSING.

A letter was received by the editor
Of the Elko Independent from r. A.
Stauts OF Lovelock, stating that his
son, Edwin A. Stauts, had disappeared
and that no word had been received
from him since the oath of June.
Some time in July he left Salmon City,
Idaho, to 60 to DeLamar, in the same
State, after a short stay there he was to
continue on to Nevada. Nothing has
been heard from him since that time,
and his parents are in great distress
over their failure to hear from him,
and fear he has been foully dealt with.
Anyone knowing Of the whereabouts
Of Mr.. Stauts will confer a favor on
his parents by addressing W.R. Stauts,

Miller a Lux-n Land.

Henry Miller, OF the firm Of Miller
& Lux, has been telling the San Fran
cisco Examiner something about the
landed possessions of the big concern.
II shows that the firm owns in the
States OF California, Nevada and Ore
gon a total Of 22,712K square miles.
This is an area larger than any seven
OF the original States Of the Union. 1t
is equal in area to the States Of New
Hampshire. Massachusetts,, Rhode Is
land and Connecticut together. II is
half the size Of New York and three
times the size Of New Jersey. 1t is
about the size of West Virginia and an
eighth the entire area OF California. II
is as large as Greece with the Ionian
Isles, Of which Byron wrote. II is four
times the area Of Alsace-L Lorraine, over
which France and Germany fought.
II is but little smaller than Ireland,
and half again as large as Switzerland.
II is twice as large as Belgium and
one-third the size Of England and
Wales together.
OF the land mentioned above $500
square miles are credited TO Humboldt
and Washoe counties. OF this com
paratively little is in Washoe, proba-
bly, not over 700 square miles. Placing
the total area OF Humboldt county at
10000 square miles, which is q little
high, it will be seen that Miller & Lux
own one-fourth Of the land in Hum
boldt county. Rather startling figures
especially when it is taken into con-
sideration that Of Humboldt's 10000
square miles probably half are deser.
land. Miller & Lux's ranches don't
consist of desert land.
