An Automatic Fan.

w. H. Cashier, Jr., Of St. Paul
claims to have invented a fan that will
be a delight for every woman in the
land, to be christened 1.-THE lazy wom-
ans delight" No more tiresome swing
ing Of the arm nor even a turning of
the wrist. A little button or lever ON
the handle, at a convenient spot for the
thumb, is to be pushed. MI. Cashier
and the fan do the rest.
The mechanical features Of the new
fan are concealed in the handle, which
is made in two parts, the upper resting
in a socket in the lower part. Pressure
from the thumb releases u spring con-
cealed in the upper portion Of the han
die. and the spring imparts the rotary
motion to the fan.-St. Paul Pioneer

The work Of tn. Heart.

One Of the most remarkable things
about the heart is the amount Of work
it does. Considering the organ as a
pump whose task is to deliver a known
quantity of blood against a known
head" it is easy to show that in "a
hours q man. g heart does about 1874 foot
tons of work. I'm other words" says .
contemporary, ''if the whole force ex-
pended by the heart in "a hours were
gathered into n huge stroke, such o
power would lift 1874 tons one foot from
the ground. A similar calculation has
been made respecting the amount of
work expended by the muscles involved
in breathing. In "a hours these muscles
do about Fl foot tons of work"

Pioneer Press, q: IL. d. Porteous, a
Liverpool -four merchant, was a guest at
the West yesterday and has gone to Du-
luth. He has been In this country for a
month looking up the prospects for his
business and is o on the return, ex-
pecting to sail from New York next
week.
Before coming to Minneapolis, Mr..
Porteous spent considerable time in the
winter wheat states. He says that Sec
ton including St. Louis will have prac-
tically no -four to ship because it will
have no more wheat than is required for
homo consumption. Kansas, according
to the Liverpool man, will have to i'm
port wheat from other states, aud Mr..
Porteous says jokingly that the Kansas
millers are going to get their wheat
from Russia this season.
II expect dollar wheat" said Mr.. Por-
tsous to the Pioneer Press last evening.
II am q bull; I would rather be a bull
and be poor than to be q bear and be
rich. That is my philosophy. Prices
are not going to be very much better in
Eogland for a while; We were fearfuliy
overstocked for several years, but when
our supply begins to dwindle prices will
60 up. Our local crop will be short
100000 quarters and France will be
short three times as much. The supply
from the Argentine was u million short,
and il the wheat does not come from the
United States l don't know where it
will come FROM There will be an i'm
mense importation from this country if
the prices do not go too high"
Mr.. Porteous predicts a great exporta-
ton OF corn. He says the forage crop Of
England was very short and FraLce will
be in a like fix. This, with the immense
crop Of corn all over the Corn section,
will result in q greater use OF that cereal
in Europe than ever before.

HIS E 4 CENTS.
OpBrien Received That Amount For Twen-
ty-eight Years Of Services.

ty-eiSht he1rs u coTviCos
Perhaps one of the smallest checks
ever issued by the United States govern
ment and one of the smallest fees ever
received by any attorney was received
by Daniel J. O'Brien Of Albany, who
received a check from the United States
navy Office, drawn Oh the assistant
United States treasurer at New York,
for the sum of 4 cents. This check has
q story attached to it. During the war
of the rebellion Mr.. O'Brien was All
officer ON q cruiser Of the northern navy,
ON which Richard w. Allen, also of AL.
bany, was a landsman.
At the close Of the wal the govern
ment distributed among the Gamer Of
the navy the prize money made by sell
ing vessels captured during the war. In
the distribution Allen, who, with
O'Brien, left the navy at the end Of the
war, was omitted. O'Brien, acting as
Aliens attorney, sent in a claim for
prize money to the navy department in
1867, and since then, through the sue
ceeding % years, he pressed Aliens
claim at intervals. To each demand
sent in the navy department responded
that the matter was under consideration.
The other day the postmaster handed
Nj. O'Brien a letter from the navy de-
partment. Mr.. O'Brien opened it, and
there lay the check he had been expect
ing for % years. He glanced hastily at
the figures on the precious slip Of paper
and thought they read ''$40O." He
glanced at the letter accompanying it
and read that the amount was"4 cents"
for attorneys fees. Mr.. O'Brien sought
out his client, Allen, and found him
gazing at a check for 35 cents, his prize
money, which he had received q few
days before and had framed and hung
over his chimney Albany Argus.

Eject OF Sheep Dips on Wool.

According to the American Sheep
Breeder, many Westerners are now Sc
riously cogitating ON the effect Of diff
ferent dips on the wool. Free wool
has opened up this important subject,
and the prediction we have often re.
peated that the lime and sulphur dip
is doomed to extinction as q wool
ruiner is in sight Of fultillment. A
closer scrutiny of woods is now taking
place, and the prices will be fixed by
tho quotations of similar woods abroad.
1t is thus easy to see that bright wool
will now meet a reader sale and at
better prices, whereas dingy and in
ferior clips will be treated accordingly
Formerly the distinction was not very
marked, but now the light of the
world is turned on, and the best wool
will fare the best. Take our advice
and seek dip that does no injury to
the wool or sheep. Lime and sulphur
do both, and while it is cheap we tell
you plainly that you can't afford to
nse it now.

ELKO COUNTY
BOARD OFTRADE.
DEAR SIR,

At meeting Of number of citizens of Ellko
County it was determined to organize an @Elko
County Board of Trade" with the object of fur
thering and fostering the numerous interests of
our county. The undersigned were appointed
committee to solicit membership throughout the
county.
If, after reading what we offer below in ex-
PLANTATION of this move, you.fee that our county's
interests will be furthered, and that consequently
you, as citizen thereof, will benefit thereby, we
ask you to signify your intention of becoming a
member of the Board by signing the enclosed
postal card and returning it by mail to Mr.. J. A.
Mcbride, the Secretary of the Committee.
We claim for Elko county that it is the best
and most favored county in the State of Nevada.
While Washoe and other western counties, with
poorer lands and ranges, with poorer water facil
tiles and poorer opportunities, have forged ahead
carried along by the sheer force and indomitable
energy of it's citizens, Elko county, the richest
and most fertile in the State has been content to
remain in the background and for years, Micaw-
ber.like has waited for something to turn up.
Now, citizens, ask you to wake up. Put
your shoulders to the wheel, If prosperity will
not seek you, seek prosperity yourselves.
The people of Nevada realize at last that mines
alone do not and cannot make state, although
they, like everything else, assist For prosper
ity, for our continued progress, we must depend
upon our farms, upon our land, CATTLE our
sheep our hay, our barley and our wheat

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
The Board OF Trade.

Elsewhere will be found the ad-
dress issued to the people Of Elko
county by the committee appoin ted
to solicit membership in the Elko
county Board of Trade. Between
three and four hundred copies have
been sent all over the county and the
indications are that the response will
be such as to make the organization a
success.
No organized effort has heretofore
been made to place the resources of
our county before the people of the
East. No reliable statistics of the
value Of our productions, either Of the
precious metals or of our stock and
farming interests, have ever been COL
lected. No one could tell the home
seeker where he could find land upon
which to settle and make a home
The result Of this has been that the
tide OF immigration passed us by: our
population has decreased for want of

give employment to our people.
A natural consequence of this has
been stagnation of the peoples en-
ergies-a quiet drifting with the cur
rent without an effort to set an oar.
All have been content with their lot
and no effort has been made to at
tract capital or people.
1t will be the object of the Board
of Trade to collect and compile re-
liable statistics of our varied resour-
ces and place them before the people
of the East with a view Of attracting
the capitalist and home seeker to our
midst. If this can be done, our pros
perity is assured.
If you are interested in building up
your county, read the address of the
committee, and contribute your mite
and influence to the support of this
organization. Nothing has been &C
complished by drifting with the tide
so let us awake and see if united eff
fort to build up our county will not
bear good fruit.

We must stop specializing, or, rather, gambling
upon what wealth hole in tho ground may con-
tain, and, instead thereof, manufacture and pro.

mRnd. We should produce our own -four, our
own butter, our own eggs, our own hams and

Bring the proper pressure to bear and not only
can we do this, but we can supply the markets of
both the East and the West with the surplus we
are well able to produce
There are thousands of acres of land lying idle
which await but the advent of the frugal settler
to DO turned into veritable Gardens of Eden.
Remember that the best lands Of EIko county
have been lying neglected for years. that the
poorest lands have are our meadow lands.
Remember that the notes.-the most fertile land
in the world-les hidden beneath the homely
sagebrush.
Remember that forty-acr sagebrush ranch
once brought under the beneficent influence of
water, will produce more and better crops than
two hundred acres of your best meadow land.
Remember that for further development and
progress we must have population. Immigration
must and will solve this problem.
Thrifty immigrants, who will settle upon these
forty-acre ranches and produce grain, alfalfa and
other products of our soil, are but awaiting the
tidings of where this new Ell Dorado of the West
is located. We say Ell Dorado, for, remember,
that to the theasands Of industrious working men
and farmers Of the East who are now either out
of employment, or who are seeking farms-not
subject to tickle and often failing rains "a place
to call home, place where they can raise all they
want to eat, where starvation does not stare their
families in the face to them such place is truly
Ell Dorado. "
Irrigation; once considered the drawback, is
slowly but surely becoming the blessing of Ne
vada. Even now the people of the East are be-
ginning to realize what it means. Certainty Of
water when needed certainty of bounteous crops
