II Nevada wants to be advertised.
let her get something to advertise.
Climate won't do to boast OF. Prom
isnR prospecto do not yield dividends
and acres OF uncultiYated sagebrush
do not yield wheat crops, Suppose
we could have a canal on the Hum
boldt or a surgar beet factory at
Lovelock. an immense copper mine at
Golconda and a few substantial man
ufacturing interests developing, We
wonld have something to advertise.
At present we have a superb climate,
a remarkable condition OF politics
and a singular system OF taxation as
the main features Of State develop
ment. They may excite widespread
comment, but will certainly not at.
tract population.-Silvcr State.
The fact that the Silver State esti-
mates the cash value OF the property
i'll Humboldt county at twent-th7ee
or twenty-five millions and the asses.
sor returns n valuation Of less than
four millions would not be -conduc-
i've to capital and immgrition- il ad-
vertised. But il the property in that
county and the other counties OF the
State was assessed as the law directs,
there would be valuation OF seventy
five or eighty millions on which TO
collect venue for the support Of the
State and county governments. The
rates OF taxation would then be low
and there would be something tang
idle to place before the people OF the
other States. This would attract
population and capital and Nevada
would no longer be the butt OF ridi.
Guile.
This condition OF affairs can be
brought about by the next legisla-
ture enactinG a revenue law that will
compel all officers Of the State and
county, who have anything to do
with the assessment OF property, 10
do their duty. 1t cannot be done il a
portion Of the property is assessed at
p per cent nt its value, another por-
ton at ut less than 10 per cent. and
still another escapes taxation Ilto-
Gether. To correct these evils the re
must be power lodged somewhere to
~equalize property values III the State.
Land, railroads and all other species
OF property must be made to bear
their just proportion OF taxation.
When this is done, the people will
pay lees taxes than they do now and
cur State will enter upon an era Of
prosperity, a condition impossible
under the present system of assess
ing property. Then Nevada will
have something to attract population
md capital.

The District Naval Reserve.

From the Army and Navy Register.
The naval militia of the District of Co
lumbia will have its first cruise during the
twelve days succeeding June -, using the
U. S. S. Prairie for the purpose. II is like
ly that twelve officers and 100 men will re-
port for duty. This is an admirable show
ing made by organization which has
been in existence for so short a time. Great
enthusiasm is eYinced by the officers and
men, who are doing splendid work and who
will make fine record. The local naval
militia is entitled to substantial support:
its officers have been diligent and enter
prising; the men have been industrious AMI
have shown aptitude for the work. They
will form an important adjunct TO the reg
ular service and will be among the best
naval militia organizations OF the country.
The yicissltudes which attended the crea-
ton of the body were overcome only by the
tireless energy of the young men who took
such keen interest In the organization.
They are entitled TO abundant credit for
their perseverance and industry. and they
are now destined TO be repaid by having
the command take front rank in the
naval reserve force of the country
The Navy Department has encouraged to

serves on the seaboard and along the great

COST OF POOR ROADS
America Behind All European Conn
tries With Respect To Highuuys

America Behind All European Conn
tries With Respect To Highways.
From the Scientific American
If ever there were Two classes of people
that had good cause i'm common they are
the bicyclists and The farmers. The oues-
ton on which their interests agree is that
OF the need for good roads: for while a
hard, smooth surface is an absolute neces-
sity to the wheelman. it IS of even more
vital imp ortance to the farmer. seeing thai
the condition OF the roads makes a serious
difference one way CT the other in his year
ly profits. AS the result of an inquiry made
in 1895 by the United States Department of
Agriculture. replies were received from over
l,2BJ counties giving the cost of hauling
crops in various parts of the United States
The average load hauled was found TO Ice
2,oo2 pounds; the average length of haul
III miles; the average cost of hauling A
ton of crops to market was S3.o2. while the
average cost of hauling a ton for a distance
of one mile was - cents.
In order 10 compare the roads of the
United States with those OF Europe the bu-
reau, through its eoasuls. made careful in
quiry on the Subject of cost of hauling in
England, France, Germany, Belgium Italy
and Switzerland. Tie average cost of haul
ing one ton one mile was found TO be in
England. 10 cents; in France, 10 cents: in
Germany, Sl2 cents; in Belgium. 9lz cents;
in Italy, az cents. and in Switzerland. from
to cents, the average for all these Euro
pean states being sc cents per ton per mile.
More than one cause may enter into this
determination of cost. but that the great
cost in America is due TO poorly made
dirt roads is proved by the fact that while
over the superb roads of Europe a farmer
will haul three or four tons at a load. our
farmers are able to haul only ton or less
than a ton over the pillow and scraper''
ridge of soil which even at this late day is
dignified by the name of road in many parts
of the country
