THE IRON TO BE INSPECTED.
Ex-City Engineer to Be Employed
Over Mr. MoOre.s Protest

Over MIR. MOOre's Protest.
City Engineer Jeup yesterday sent to the
Board OF Works letter recommending that
c. c. Brown, ex-city engineer, be allowed
to inspect the iron work of the Pleasant
run bridge over Meridian street. Mr. Brown
made proposition in behalf of Osborne &
Co, of Cleveland. offering to make the in
spection for 81 ton. The fee at this rate
was estimated at SEQ. Mr.. Jeup believes
that the inspection will be of benefit to
the city. for 1T will insure first-class iron
work. Messrs. Downing and Austin, of the
board, signed a letter allowing the inspec-
ton. Mr.. Moore, the Republican member
refused to give his approval. Mr.. Moore is
an architect and says an inspection of the
iron at the works signifies very little The
city engineer should be able to make the
inspection the bridge is being construct
ed. The company constructing the bridge is
under bond for faithful fulfillment of the
contract, and if anything about the bridge
is not according to specifications the city
has the power to decline an acceptance of
the work. Notwithstanding Mr.. Moores
objection, Mr.. Brown was authorized to
make the inspection, and $50 was thereby
spent. The amount is small, but it is ar
gued that the payment establishes a prece-
dent for the employment of outside experts.

The Controller Let His Incorrect Adj

All day yesterday a long line of people
stood before the window at the city control

cure vehicle licenses. During the day sew

Johnson, the controller. was very well

that such would be done, for Mr.. Johnson
has advertised that the law provided for
a penalty. Mr.. Johnson watched the crowd
lighting for places before the window and
smiled
This is the crowd that don't know the
difference" said Mr.. Johnson. Those peo-
pie who do know will crowd in on Feb. 2S
The original provisions of the vehicle or

should be attached after Jan. 81. but an
amendment followed which extended the
time until the last of February. Mr.. john
son says that at the time he advertised he
thought Jan. 81 was the last day. After

correction. Mr.. Johnson has been willing
that people should believe in the original
reading of the law. for he has been able
to collect more licenses by the false i'm

WORLDS FAIR PREMIUMS.

To say that the soil of Nevada is the
richest in the Uuited States is no idle
boast. Nevada's unrivalled record at the
Worlds Fair was the offering of thirty
six exhibits and the taking of t~hirty-Six
first premiums. Such a record was not
approached by any other State in the
Union. This great victory for Nevada
products was the result of a demand on
the part of Nevada's commissioners for a
chemical analysis of all soil products
offered in competition. AS soon as this
was done the great superiority of the Ne
vada products beriine so apparent to
the judges that other competitors were
distanced. Nevada flour took the gold
medal over the whole United States. This
was because OF the chemical properties of
Nevada wheat, Nevada potatoes, Ne
vada hay and Nevada fruits came out vic
torious in the same way. Her minera
products and her bOraX soda, asbestos.
lime marble and GRANTEES and onyx came
out first best with the others. It is a
noteworthy fact that the most celebrated
racing stables of the Coast nave for years
fed their best horses upon timothy hay
from the farms Of the Carson Valley, AS it
contains the chemical constituents for
strength and muscle making, which in
many important turf events have led the
colors of these enterprisiOg stables to
victory.

CLIMATE.

Without wearying the reader with
tables of temperature, humility and per
cipitation, it is difficult to give any ade-
quate conception of the solurious climate
of Ormsby. In few places, if anywhere
in America, is it equaled. The purity and
dryness Of the atmosphere are it's chief
characteristics. 1t IS the unanimous
opinion of physicians who have practiced
in this state for a number of years, tina
there is no where to be found with a
climate more conducive to health and
longevity. In this land of almost perpet-
ual sunshine and exceptionally pure air,
consumption is entirely unknown.

AS A HEALTH RESORT.

While it is not claimed that the climate
will always cure asthma and indre af-
fiictiOns, n daily comes in contact with
persons who cannot live elsewhere than
in Nevada on account of these diseases.
Yet in this pure and bracing air they are
enabled to pass the time in ease and COM
fort, for if not cured, they are greatly
benefited.
In general it may be said of this climate
of Western Nevada that it offers advan-
tages unsurpassed to those who seek a
restoration of health, nc matter what
their disorder may be.
Regarding the weather in Nevada there
is an impression prevailing
that the winters are severely cold and
stormy. On the contrary they are quite
mild, INC the number of bright sunny
days is greater here than in any other
part of the United States.

HOrtkculfur1st.
AS I have not land enough to depend
wholly upon the sale of farm products.
then some of my land is adapted to
nothing better than the culture of GER
tain kinds Of fruit; also, the prices of
farm products have been so exceeding.
ly low and the yield accordingly, that
have turned my attention to fruit
culture. In this vocation I have found
| excellent opportunities for the devel-
opment of mind and body, as well as
| purse. There is less labor, physically,
! though success al fruit culture requires
industry and punctuality. There is y
greater diversity Of labor than is found
in most any other occupation which
will tend to prevent excessive fatigue
and build up a vigorous and healthy
body. Being a great lover Of fruit,
which we should all know is healthy,
find ii a great enjoyment to work
among the trees and plants, training
their growth, watching the buds de-
velop into blossoms, the blossoms into
fruit, and greater yet is the pleasure
of gathering it for market and home
use. never enjoy better health than
through the fruiting season, and
try to plan it so as to have fruit the
whole year around, either fresh or pre-
served. / think there are great OPP
portunities for the development of the
mind in this vocation; in fact, it is an
utter impossibility to attain any
marked degree of success without the
knowledge of some of the sciences,
such as chemistry, botany, geology and
entomology. From chemistry we learn
how the simple elements of the soil
are used in plant formation, and when
and what we must apply to the soil
to supply any deficiencies; also, to fight
the destructive insects of fruit we must
seek its aid. Botany teaches us the
parts and functions, together with the
generic and specific characters of each
plant and how best we can further
plant development. A knowledge OF
geology viii aid US in selecting the
proper soil for the different kinds Of
fruit. But from entomology we learn
the most, which is essential to horticul-
ture and is increasing in Importance
each year. To distinguish between 4
friend and foe of the insect world, and
how best to successfully assist or de
stroy them, and to know their life
habits, require extended information
upon this subject. Fruit culture is a
vocation which requires constant
study, us there are new varieties, meth
DDS and difficulties arising each year.
