go forth on their march of progress. Inc re-
cent trip'around Cape Horn OF taat magnificent
Da.tle-sh1p, the Oregon, has clearly shown the
value and necessity of the construction of the

favors the admission Of women to wider spheres
OF usefulness. We, the Republicans of Nevada,

may safely be left to the great Republican
party Of the Nation.

ty.
Reso' we'd: That without artificial irrigation
the settlement and cultivation OF millions OF
acres of itch laud within or State, are an i'm
possibility. That the only means Of supply

the investment Of capital beyond the means OF
private enterprise. We therefore urge upon
onr representatives. the necessity OF aid
from Congress- and pledge our best efforts to
secure tine construction vi q system OF storage
reservoirs by the general government.
