A sMooTH-ToNGUED individual has
been visiting number 81 the Farmers
in the neighborhood OF Neby and
other places along the Red river, and
in fact ali over the south and west
portions ofthe county, and has adj
ministered a substantial legpulling;
to the majority Of those he has called
upon. Heis equipped with a wagon
load Of calicos, ginghams, dress
goods, towels, and clothing material
which he has made up in lots. These
lots OF goods are offered to the unsus-
pecting farmers at prices that are in
deed tempting. The clothing is said
to be OF that quality which our
merchants sell ready made at about
81 to So per suit, and for these goods
he charges $25 to $40 per suit, and
sometimes more, alleging that hewill
have the goods made up in Crooks
ton. The dry goods are said to be
all right, the clothing being the item
that contains the swindle. The farm
er gets the goods and the vendors
promise to have them made up

TIE SMALL BOY.

-
We heard footsteps skipping along the
gravel walk and on the porch, then the
door was noisily opened and shut. He
threw himself into the most comfortable
chair, his hat taking refuge in the cor
ner. We knew the small boy was in ouI
midst.
1t was a warm, sultry afternoon. All
one desired was a good novel, some book
that one could enjoy without doing much
thinking. We had only looked up when
the small boy had entered. 1t was plain
to see that this reception did not please
him, for he hitched his chair around
with his dusty shoes, and then, pushing
it back at a most alarming angle, he
began:
"Say, | have been down at the circus.

wiping it with a very dirty handkerchief.

TIE SAGE BRUSH STATE.

The Salt Lake Tribune thus speaks in
Nevada:
For a great many years Nevada was
the leading mining State of the Union.
We have always claimed that when ira
importation shall be cheapened and null
tiplied, when labor is adjusted on the
scale of other States, Nevada will resume
her own place as the foremost of mining
States, although two or three of her great
districts appear to have been exhausted.
Within the last year an immensely rich.
district has begun to yield in Southeast
ern Nevada. At least two great districts
have been opened along the base OF the
Sierras. Other of the old gold camps in
the State have been reawakened, and ex-
cept about the camps that ones depend
ed on the wonderful bonanza produce in
the old days, there has been a general adj
vance along the lines of industry. We had
hoped that before this a railroad would be
pointed into the desert from here, to bring
into active work a score OF mining distri-
cts which only want cheap and swift
transportation to make them exceedingly
productive. That has been postponed,
but at the same time it is marvellous that
it should be SO, for there is no spot in the
United States that we know OF that gives
so much promise to a profitable railroad
traffic as the stretch of country for 700
miles between this city and Los Angeles.
1t will have to be done pretty soon. From
the very nature Of the case it cannot" be
very long postponed. Nevada's wool
interest, which is very great. OF course
has been sadly crippled during three
years. Another important interest,
through which Nevada drew very much
revenue, the raising OF the horses has
been practically killed by the fall OF
the price of all ordinary animals of tfiat
breed. And yet the men OF Nevada are
doing well, making fair livihgs as they
are, while a few are making great nv!
tunes, and all are looking forward hope
fully that the long-talked-of railroads
that are to make available the south
eastern and southern mining districts
will come (before long.)s The mining
world owes very much to Nevada. 1t
was theToriginal school OF mines on this
Coast. Nevada men are everywhere, in
Montana, Idaho, Utah, Colorado, Arizo-
ma, in Old and New Mexico, and some
are delving away under the Cordilleras
and the Andes and in South Africa. In
the future, when the men of the East
begin to realize how much of their own
greatness they W to the precious met.
ella which have been sent them from tine
West, there will be an awakening all
over the camps OF Nevada, and the State
will prosper with more than her old.
time e~xtravagant prosperity. We send
them New Years greetings, and with
them the hope that the day OF their good
fortune will not be much longer post
poned.
