secured the best engineering capacity

company has obtained the right OF way

"They control considerable portion OF
the Truckee river and can locate the
plant either in Califtrnin or Nevada. !
hope they will conclude to locate it in
Nevada as the taxes will then contribute
to the revenue OF this State. | see no

sse no reason why v0n should not find
some raisins below the Sutro tunnel

Mr.. Newlands added" that an increase
in the number OF men employed is not
probable until cheap power had un-
covered the lower levels. and it would be
unwise for men elsewhere to drift to the
Comstock until opportunities for in
creased work are presented" lie feares'
least the publications. regarding the de.

Il was standing on the street the other
day talking with Brown" said Smith, as
he grinned at the recollection. Something
had brOught UP the subject OF education
and Brown was airing his views in a way
that he has that admits of no argument
Brown has an idea that our system of edu-
cation is all wrong and that we should tend
more 10 teaching the young idea the prin-
ciples Of business by practical application.
I yawned and turned the conversation
around to the weather, but he wouldn't
have it that way, and continued to air his
views.
Suddenly he was seized with an inspira-
ton. There was a small street arab stand
ing near, and after proving to his own sat
isfaction that he was right, Brown tried to
convert me by giving me a practical dem
onstTation of his theory.
Taking a 25-cent piece from his pocket
he called the boy up and said
" My boy, here is a quarter. which, if
carefully handled is the foundation of a
fortune. Take it and watch for chance
TO double It. When You have succeeded,
bring it back to me and ! will give you a
dollar for it,
The boy looked dazed. but he had pres
ence of mind enough to seize the money
and make off with il, while l laughed and
told Brown that was the last he would see
of the boy, who would probably spend the
money for cigarettes
But in fifteen minutes the boy was back
with 80 cents which he held out for Brown
TO see.
All said Brown as he beamed upon
the boy and handed him a dollar, you have
learned a lesson that will follow you
| through life How did you manage to
double your money so quickly
'Aw, answered the boy, as he put the
dollar In his pocket and got out of reach.
