profitable. Nowhere on the face of
earth is the farmer richer or more
prosperous. Nevada has unlimited
undeveloped resources. The east has
congested wealth that must be ex-
pended somewhere In some way to be
useful to Its owners or anybody else.
The union of these active and latent
forces and their cooperation for a
common purpose is already setting the
pace to progress in Nevada. And the
result will be accomplished In strict ac-
cordance with the immutable law of
supply and demand-th fundamental
law of prosperous, reciprocal condi-
tons. We do not suppose the average
reader Of the DISPATCH will care
continental about this article, but 1t
may fall into the hands of and attract
the attention of men of means to the
development of an enterprise whose
consummation will not only effect
incalculable public good, but will re-
imburse many fold any investor. If
the plain and palpable result Of quar-
ter to half million of dollars is the
perfection Of 1000 horse power and
plant worth at conservative valuation a
cool million, there is no reason why a
capitalist should hesitate. This state
ment can be made good by reputable
engineers as to power, by self observa-
ton as to field. Any we'll equipped.
experienced business man can investl-
gate and arrive at the conclusion to
which the facts must take him. Local
capital in small amounts, say $4,000,
from individuals, is not sought to
promote this enterprise and has been
refused. There are many reasons
therefor. The statement will allevi-
ate the sufferlngs Of few who might
think they are Of such consequence the
enterprise would fail without the aid Of
their business sagacity- that is to say
NIL The corporation is just getting on
its feet but the lines shown by the ar
ticles of Incorporation continue to
widen the field of operation under new
demands for power for different pur-
poses. Many subordinate and depen-
dent enterprises are awakening into
new life under the stimulus Of the sue
cessful carrying out of the main pro-
ject. 1t is because of this widening
circle of dependence and consequent
benefit that the new enterprise is Of
such importance to the people at large,
and the summing up of 1t all why II
should receive the moral support oi
every patriotic citizen.

STRICT
Steps Taken to Suppress Sensational
Manila News.

Hong Kong. Jan. 16.-The Herald's
Manila correspondent reports a ridicu.
lousy strict censorship upon dis
patches.
The latest advices, dated january 10
state that the situation in the Philip
pines is still acute. Aguinaldo is hold.
ing his force in check with difficulty
and natives have been arrested for
smuggling arms into the walled city.
On one occasion a coffin was found
full of arms, and on another six Maui
ser rifles and a stock of ammunition
were discovered hidden in a load OF
straw.
The natives residing in the city pre-
dict an attack on Manila Sunday the
18th, but the foreigners maintain that
there will be no attack If the Americans
do not precipitate one.
The position of the Americans is ex-
tremely unpleasant. Their Spanish
prisoners are mfriendly and the hos
tile natives are e and we'll
armed, both inside ard outside of Ma
Mia.
In Iloilo the situation remains the
same except that the natives are en-
'Srenching themselves. They have
blocked the river by sinking lighters
laden with stones.
The native troops outside of Manila
are most in~solent, and it is hard work
to restrain the Americans.
The Fflipinos come out from their
own lines close to the American out
posts. load their rifles, deliberately
point them at the American soldiers,
and then derisively walk back to their
own lines.
Under such conditions there might
be a fight at any moment.

MORAL SANITATION OF CUBA.
Steps Taken to Care For the Homeless
Of the City.

New York, Jan. ia dispatch to
the Tribune from Havana says:
The police authorities have begun
the moral sanitation of Havana. Vans
have been provided; and last night af-
ter midnight they made the rounds of
the city, picking up Migrants and home
persons Since the time of the COZ
c%entration the park and porticos have
been filled nightly with these unfortu-
mates, a few of whom are criminals.
IL has been one of the distressing fea-
lures of the prevailing conditions for
which no remedy was found. Under
the Cuban-American administration
the building known as the Sam Isador
asylum has been obtained as a shelter.
Persons picked up are taken there and
provided with food. il they are unable
to labor they are turned over to the
municipal public works, and are put to
work sweeping the streets. For this
they are paid 80 cents a day. Those
unable to work, who are the larger
class, are provided for at San Isador
and in the hospitals. In a short time
it is expected that the streets will be
cleaned entirely of these people. Pro
vision is also made for the care of the
urchins who are without homes in San
Jose asylum.

Ban on the Machines.

Kansas City, Jan. 16.-The first de-
csion by an appellate court in this
state that deals with the element of
gambling in the operation Of slot ma

tor, is a gambling device pure and
simple.
The decision was made In the case OF
Charles o. Brown Of Lamar, who was
convicted in the court of that county
for having a slot machine in his place
of business. He appealed on the ground
that a s,ot machine was not a gambling
device.

CLEANING HAVANA
MODERN AMERICAN SANITARY
METHOD TO PREVAIL
THERE.
Poor Given Work-Garbage Cleared
Daily and Burned-Cesspools in
Houses Closed-Orphans Cared
For-One Hundred Doctors EN-
ployed.

Havana, Jan. 16.-The colossal task
of putting into proper sanitary condi-
tion every dwelling in Havana began
today, Surgeon Major Davis hiring one
hundred resident physicians for a
house-to-house. inspection, to compel
obedienes-tc -- regulations. All
cesspools under houses are to be closed
and sealed. Garbage is to be removed
daily. 1t is expected that the city will
be in a fair sanitary condition in three
months without underground eswer-
age. The old residents regard the new
health regulations as unnecessary and
meddlesome, and even some well-to-do
and well-informed persons when MAX
ing their objections described them
selves as healthy enough. Today one
thousand people are engaged in clean
ing the streets and public buildings.
There are two more cases of small
pox in the One Hundred and SiXty-fi first
Indiana regiment. The men have beer
isolated. 1t is a favorite trick of the
soldiers, when escaping from the camp
without leave to hire Cuban uniforms
so as to pass the sentries. Sometimes
the clothing has been exposed to in
fiction, and the usual result follows.
Nevertheless there is so little sickness
among the United States troops that
twenty female nurses out of the 100
originally employed have been dis
missed.
