Every year California produce men
come to this section to secure potatoes
for their trade. The price paid is al
ways higher than paid for like produce
in California. The reason for it is that
the Nevada tuber is superior to any
that can be secured. Each year some
slick individual circulates in this sec
ton and procures the crop at low fig
ures, and in the spring the values are
way up. 1t would not be bad idea
for the Nevada producers to appoint
some sharp business man and let him
handle the entire crop from this sta
ton. 1t takes money to send travel
ing agents about the State, and the
farmers might as well have the coin as
send it to California. a.-Appeat.

PRE- E-HIsToRIC CIVILIZATION.
To days Desolation Was Once a
Garden.


One of the most marvellous engineer
ing accomplishments of ancient or
modern times is shown IN discoveries
which were made last year in the lava
beds of New Mexico. Thousands of
years ago, the geologists tell us, sys-
tenn of irrigation reservoirs and bitches
was operated in the Southwest which
is not paralleled by anything CT this
The builders of these works, a people
older than the pueblo race, cultivated
thousands of acres of now arid terri
tory. Reservoirs were constructed at
the bases of mountains to catch the
flood waters before they were absorbed
into the loose and bottomless sand,
and the bitches, where they ran through
sand, were cemented to prevent the
wateris escape.
Lava has flowed into some of these
bitches, once filed by sparkling water
in centuries gone by. What can have
been the history of this prehistoric
race or what can have caused their dis
appearance, can only be conjectnred.
Unlike the ancients of other lands
these people have not left complete
record of their glory and their down
fall and whether it was the result of
climatic conditions or great upheavals
or whether they We're supplanted by
more warlike and stronger races, is a
mystery. That they were highly de-
veloped, however, in agriculture,
which is the mother of civilization, is
shown by the evidences which they
have left. Their canals wind in and
around for miles, showing IA superior
engineering knowledge in securing an
exact and uniform fall; remarkable
viaducts were used in crossing canyons,
while a network Of distributing bitches
brought every available acre into use
for tillage. Vast fields of waving grain
and laden orchards must have stretched
away, down the fertile valleys, under
lut IidHlt AbhCii Vi o1b1i ~ - -
America where it has been reclaimed
through irrigation Of to-day yields ex-
travagantly and with such develop
ment of peaceful art must have been
likewise an advanced state of eiviliza-
ton. Here was no irrigation by indi-
vidual owners or diverters OF water;
but a great system covering a large
area, carefully thought out and oper-
ated by central head for the greatest
good of the many and the utilization
of the greatest possible acreage.
And it seems strange in the present
era of great progress, and vast under
takings that this section of country,
once the most highly cultivated of the
continent, should now be an arid and
cheerless waste with torrid sky and
parched earth, even while the same
rainfall of ages past still continues
year by year, and the water supply Is
still there, only awaiting its utilization
by man.

The Chicago Canal.
An Illinois paper SAYS:


LET Ter gop' said the boss of the
works, and the waters OF Lake Michi-
gan roared through the drainage canal
on their way to the Gulf of Mexico.
Thirty millions of dollarsl That's
what it cost.
1t ranks with the pyramids of Egypt,
and the great wall of China. 1t is the
greatest work of human hands on this
continent
1t was expected that the sewage of
Chicago would ereste streak of stencil
all down the Elliuois valley
Everybody was oat, with nose agog;
but nobody smelt anything. and it
didn't seem TO make much difference
in the river anyhow.
The most casious part of this whole
thing is the peculiar lay of the land,
that made this possible.
The great inland sea, Lake Michigan,
is so feet above the upper valley of the
Illinois river.
Here is a great sea held back from
flooding the entire State by wall of
rock Is miles wide.
The State lies 50 feet below the lake,
in the DesPlaines and Rankakee com
try.
How on earth did it ever get shat
way?
The people of the Illinois Valley
need not be afraid of Chicago sewage,
if they are built on the same ines as
the average Chicago citizen. Chicago
has been pouring that sewage into the
lake ever since there was Chicago,
and drinking it. Ofaearse the pump
ing stations ara from two to five miles
out; but it IL nonsense TO suppose that
the sewage of two millions of people
aud several millions OF animals would
not reach two to five miles into the
lake II is stated that when the winds
are southerly, Chicago sewage has
been noticed at Milwaukee, so miles
away Yet Chicago is the healthiest
big city on the continent. In New
York Is die out of every thousand
every year In Philadelphia Is; in
Boston Is; in Baltimore 16, and in
Chicago Il.
just why Chicago is so healthy, built
as she is in swamp, and drinking her
own filth, is one of those things that
cannot be explained. Call it mys-
terry, and let it go. Here is the case OF
an old man. We read of him an hour
ago. lie has been examined by a
board of physicians, who pronounced
him the healthiest man of his years in
the world, as far as their knowledge
extends. He is % years old He has
taken but two baths in his life. On
both these occasions he fell into rivers
when he was drunk. It's a mystery.
Let it go.

Telephones on Farms.

The rural telephone service is said to
be most advanced in the Western Re-
serve counties of Northwestern Ohio.
In some of these counties not only is
there q telephone Office in every town
ship but hundreds of farmers have tele-
phones in their homes. One of the
companies is strictly a farmers COM
pany, being operated by eight farmers,
who own everything from franchise to
switchboard. The primary object in
constructing these lines was not to
build them for an investment, but as a
help i'll the transaction of business and
to give families some of the social priv
ileges that are too often lacking on the
farm. The rental price of a telephone
IS sl2 year in advance, or S1.25 by
the month, and this entities the sub
scriber, his family, hired help and
guests to the free use of the lines and
those with which the company has re-
ciprocity contracts. The low rate or
rental is made possible in the country
only by placing several telephones on
each circuit, usually one street or
neighborhood being on the same line
When a man thinks he has n1onexy fo
