Dan De QuilIe's Steamboats,.

No Nevada writer ever wrote so many
pleasant and Interesting fakes as Dan De
guile. The Oftener he fooled the public
the better they liked it. His steamboats,
We're all so pleasant and natural. and in
teresting that they gave no offense. He
wrote of the magnetic stones that heaped
themselves together when left alone. by
the force of magnetic attractions; of the
sound on the shores Of Walker Lake; of
the men who had the dropsy when cross
ing the plains and was tapped for water
by the thirsty emigrants; of the man who
invented a cooling apparatus to cross the
desert in hot weather. and by using too
much amOnia, cooled off too fast and
froze to death.
Says the Enterprise, among other of
Dan De Quille's fake yarns was one about
building a tramway to the summit OF
Mt. Davidson: one about an electric stone
possessing a wonderful attraction for all
minerals, and many others which existed
only in the writer's peculiar imagina-
ton. The only trouble with Dan De
Quilts journalism was the extreme diff
Guilty of separating the truth from the
fiction of what he wrote. When it came
to giving a war whoOp Dan could out

So a Copy

A few days ago the APPEAL received a
letter from Ed Harmon. proprietor of the
Midway Plaisance, No. I'll, Market street.
He wanted to know the price of a copy
of the extra APPEAL issued on the after
o of the great fight here on the 18th
of March 1897.
The APPEAL has calls for these papers
from all over the United States and sends
them whenever there is a call as All adj
vertisement of Carson. and allows the
parties receiving thn'paper to pay what
they consider it worth.
AS q rule this is the end of il. Mr..
Harmon, however. acknowledged the
receipt of the PAPER as follows:
Il think the paper worth s. of any
mars money. IncioSe't find a = Diil.'
The APPEAL is disposed to think this
is the largest price a Nevada paper ever
brought for a single copy. Possibly
however, in the early days higher rates
were paid.

KEEP THEM OUT.
Nevada No Place For Caiifor~ ia
Diseased Cattle.

California cattlemen are making great
efforts to get the quarantine regulations
so modified as to admit of starving cattle
from the plains of the San Joaquin
being brought into Nevada. While we
sympathize with California in her hour
of distress it would be a burning shame
to admit cattle suffering with splenetic
fever to the ranges of Nevada. Such a
course will undoubtedly end in this State
being included in the quarantine district.
again placing us at the mercy of San
Francisco butchers and shut us out of
the markets of the world. We are now
enjoying a good eastern market and are
no longer subject to San Francisco, then
why should we again place ourselves in
that position? If it is done at all, it will
be done through the advice of Nevada
officials and he outside pressure may be
such as to cause them to yield. The
minute they do we are confined to the
limited market of San Francisco, and
shut out from the privilege of shipping
stock east, which has lone so much for
the cattle industry. Men engaged in the
raising of cattle in this State should he
energetic in putting the stamp of dis
approval on any such movements.
1t is said that Miller 4 Lux. Grayson,
Owen e Co, and Barney Harrall favor it,
and say that Nevada is acting the dog in
the manger' by refusing 10 relieve Cal
ifornia's Distress. Blu Nevada can stand
all such talk better than she can afford TO
lose the eastern market by opening the
door to diseased cattle. 1t is quite nat
ural for men owning large herds of starry
ing cattle to want to get them where
there is feed, but the people Of this State
should tell our representatives in Con
gress, and also give the home officials to
understand, that if such a step is taken
they will be held responsible for it.
The Gazette is thoroughly convinced
hat it would be the cause of Immediately
destroying one of our most important
industries and will oppose 1t to the bitter
end.-Reno Gazette.
The people of Eastern Nevada are very
much interested in the questions dis
cussed by the Gazette. They are stand
ing s0lidly by the cattlemen in the efforts
to prevent the shipment of cattle from
the infected districts of California into
this State at this time. They fully realize
that upon the prosperity Of the cattlemen
depends in great measure the prosperity
of the State. Kill this industry by bring
ing diseased cattle into this State and
every other industry would be ruined.
The California cattlemen are exhaust
ing every argument on Governor Sadler

Nothing In It.

The following squib is going the
rounds of the State press:
The Elko Independent announces that
the fine imposed by Judge Hawley in the
United States District court on residents
of ElkO county for removing a lot of
rotten lumber from the abandoned Fort
Halleck barracks will be contributed by
residents of ElkO."
With all due Difference to the press of
the State. we wish to hat the
independent has made no such state
ments as are contained in the above.
What we did say was this: hat the
Independent would join in d movement
of the citizens to raise the fines of these
men and would contribute of its means
to that end. SO far no movement has
been made that we know of to raise then
fines. One of the parties in a converse
ton with the editor of the Independent,
last Sunday expressed himself as well
satisfied with the result of the case. He
had nothing but kind words for Judge
I1awley and all concerned in the prosecu-
ton.
The other statement that these mer
were prosecuted for removing rOtteI
lumber from the Fort Ha!leck reserva.
ton is not in harmony with the Indepen.
dents information. The buildings il
some instances were completely gutteC
and their value almost destroyed. These
are the facts and it is an injustice to The
United States authorities to claim tina
these men We're prosecuted for simply
taking rotten lumber. They did wrong
and were punished for it.-Independent
