otherwise. Apparently the company
has secured the capital to push big
enterprise and everybody, except the
sheep and cattle men, more than ten
miles of whose best grazing grounds
have been appropriated, wish them
abundant success. The town is
seventy-fve miles north of Elko, the
nearest railroad point, and a tri-weekly
mail and passenger coach, running
over fairly good roads, makes the trip
in twelve hours.
AS the company bas corralled every
thing bearing the semblance of mining
ground for miles around, it is not a
good country for prospectors to go to-
and as to miners, the notoriety of the
camp has overstocked the labor supply
and ii is poor point for people hunting

Duck Valley Indian Reservation.

During our recent outing we had the
pleasure of spending a night, both
when going and coming, at the agency
of the Duck Valley Indian Reservation.
We found the agent in c.iarge, Major
VIM L. Hargrove, to be very obliging
and pleasant gentleman, who apparent
ly commands the respect and has ac-
quired the confidence of the wards of
the government under his charge, many
of whom have ranches enclosed and re-
side in houses. white-man fashion,
but continue to draw their supplies
with customary regularity and unan-
unity. Those who cultivate the ranches
are supplied with wagons and farming
implements by the government and
few of them are becoming quite sue
cessful farmers. But with many of
them their old habits still bulge out
conspicuously, and around even the
best houses, wickiups are sticking
up, with the older squaws and bucks
sitting in them. In one Of these half
covered structures we were shown a
withered, bent and sun-dried old squaw
who, it was claimed, had lived a cen
tury.
Upon the Reservation, near the Agen
cy, is fine school building with dor
mitory, mess room and hospital attach
ments, where all the Indian boys and
girls, between certain ages are required
to attend school, much tothe regret of
their parents, being brought in from
their homes by the agents and clothed
and carel for whether they will or no.
The school is under the charge of Prof.
G. w. Myers, with Miss Kate G. c.
Auiey as assistant and Miss Minnie
Arnot as matron, and is a systematic
ally conducted institution, with sixty
five children at present attending. The
children are eXcelently disciplined, but
their capacity for acquiring even ele-
mentary education does not appear to
be very great, but their school exper-
fence and the fact that they all acquire
proficiency in talking in English will
doubtless tell upon them in the future,
and if the same practice of compulsory
teaching is carried out at all the Agen-
cies, it will tell forcibly upon the next
generation, The teachers in this school
and the matron particularly, are very
Jealous and are seemingly engaged in
what is to them labor of love, and the
children display for them quite de-
gree of affection and confidence
There are eight hundred Indians be-
longing to the Agency, the larger por-
ton of them Piutes and the remainder

Some Kansas Lies.

Here is an example of what Kansas
tornado can do or what Kansas liar
can do when forced to it: A farmer
had large crib filled with ear corn and
there was knot hole in the south end
of the crib. 1t was struck by tornado,
and it is claimed that the suction was
so great that cob after cob was drawn
through the knot hole and the farmer
was left with a crib of shelled corn.
Here's another:
was out in Kansas last summer in
the first cyclone. OF course | went
down in the cellar, like other folks.
The house was soon blown away. The
next thing knew the cellar went too,
rolling over and over like silk hat, 1
was soon spilled out. With infinite Ia
Dor crawled back in the teeth of the
wind, intending to take refuge in the
hole the cellar came out of. To my
CONSERVATION, l found that that had
blown away also.
Another caper which this tornado
cut was to blow the side whiskers off a
travelling man and plant them on the
side of woman's face, where they con-
tinue to grow.
The following is from a man who, in
that state, is noted for his truth and
veracity:
A farmer was blowing around an OBJ
long patch of ground one day and at
night the tract of unplowed land still
contained about five acres. When he
quit for the day he left the plow stick
ing in the furrow, as farmers often do.
The tornado came along and caught
the plow, taking it around and around
the "land" until it was all plowed.
Several stories which the reader can
or cannot believe, just as he sees fit
were started after the Seneca tornado,
two years ago, had violated the state
in reference to the malicious destruc-
ton of property and departed for parts
unknown. Probably the best one was
this: A man was riding along on
horseback with jug of whiskey tied to
the saddle horn. After the blow had
ceased, the jug handle was forced in
side the jug and the strap was sticking
out Of the nozzle, the jug having been
blown inside out without spilling a
drop of liquor.

1t is curious phase in human nature
that the savage instincts have never
yet been sufficiently bred out of men to
prevent them from being occasionally
impelled to leave their comfortable
quarters, don their oldest clothes, pack
up guns and fishiug tackle, bestride
horses and go out and try to kill some
thing or snare a little innocent fish,
camp out of nights, trying to find a
soft spot on a gravel bank or among
hummocks of grass for their blankets,
cook or try to cook bacon and fish over
camp fire with face scorched by the
heat and eyes watery from the smoke,
drink bad coffee out of tin cup, slap
at mosquitoes, pick wood ticks off them
selves and anathamatize all manner of
creeping things, get sunburned until
the cuticle all peels off their faces and
hands and endure more discomforts
for fortnight than they had exper-
fenced for year, then come home rag
ged, dirty, unkempt, tired andsore, and
tell lies and brag for the remainder of
the season about what a good time they
had. This thing has been going on
ever since civilization supplied men
with the comforts of home and re-
leases no man from its influences, from
the anxious business man and sturdy
laborer, to the city dude. 1t is an in
stinct Inherited from the stone age,
brought down through savage and semi
savage life, and never to be bred out of
us by civilization.

One Coudert, a New York lawyer on

replied: Il am thankful because am

We do not know much about Coudert,
but If he is quoted correctly, we, too,
are thankful that he is not a journal
ist The great journals of the country
are well supplied with recruits from
the legal profession. Some Of our abl
est journalists to-day left the law to
join the noblest of all professions.
Journalism has always had great attrac-
tion for men imbued with the noblest
impulses. To be known as journalist
Is to be known as a man of unimpeach-
able honor. OF course there are excep-
tions. We have few charlatans, but
they are very few and far between.
There is no war between the two pro-
fessions-law and journalism-nor
need there be. The lawyer works for
his fees and be his client in the wrong
or in the right, he is for his client. On
the other hand, the journalist can only
serve one client-right as his con-
science sees it, and he is always for his
client. There are exceptions in both
cases, but for our part we thank our
Maker that we are newspaper man
and not lawyer.-Country Exchange.

PRINCE LOBANOF.
The Russian Press Eloquent Over His
Great Qualities.

The Russian Press Eloquent Over HIS
Great Qualities.
The Russian press is eloquent over
the great qualities and splendid diplo-
matte triumphs Of the deceased minis
ter and statesman, says a correspond
ent OF the London Times. The Novoe
yremya says: "The deceased belonged
to the school of Boyar diplomatists,
who have become so rare since the time
of the Empress Catherine, and who
possess strength of will and many
sided European education, as well as
knowledge of their own country and
the strong support of hereditary con-
nections. Such men have not been
afraid of what other nations said OF
us and have believed in Russia's mis-
sion and right to play great part
among the other powers of Europe.
Prince Lobanof belonged to that small
class of Russians who know what they
want and how to attain 1t. During his
short tenure of Office he isolated Japan,
attracted Germany to cooperate with
Russia and France, protected the in
tegrity of China, effected reconcilia-
ton with Bulgaria, secured full free
dom of action to Russia in regard to
Turkey, and strengthened the friend
ship with France" The same journal
foresees the appearance of much un-
founded comment in the foreign press
on the possible consequences of Prince
Lobanof's death and strongly urges its
readers against the supposition that
any change whatever in Russia's for
eign policy will result from this great
and unfortunate loss. Much Is also said
about the literary labors of the late
minister, and it is curious to note that,
although he appears to have accom-
plished so much in diplomacy in SO
short period, he scarcely ever gave
more than two or three hours day to
official business, the rest of his time
| being almost exclusively devoted to his
| favorite study of historical research.

Proposition to Make, u Reservoir of the

w. ]. Koon of Lamar, Colorado, who
built the Amity ditch. visited Great
Bend, Kansas. recently as the repre-
sentative of a company of western
capitalists who propose to convert the
cheyenne bottoms, a remarkable de-
preston lying n few miles northeast
OF that place. which has an area OF
1880 acres, into an immense reser-
voir.
The plan Is to dig great ditch be-
tween the bottoms and the Arkansas
river at some point near Pawnee Rock
and drive the Hood waters of the Ar
kansas Into this reservoir, also to se-
cure the water of the Walnut and 9TH
er creeks by damming these streams
at their intersection with the ditch.
The Cheyenne bottom Mt Its lowest
point is thirty-six feet below the level
of the Arkansas ut Great Bend. It is
proposed to use the water thus secured
for irrigation and other purposes. The
plan has the Endorsement OF practical
frrigationists, and the committee M,
pointed to secure the right of way for
the ditch Is meeting with success. It
ID believed that the climatic influence
OF such vast body OF water will be
advantageously felt over a large scope
