Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1900-11-22

The work of the National Irrigation
Congress will be watched with keen
interest by the people of the western
States. In most of the arid West
silver mining has been the real in
dustry and hopes have centered On a
revival of silver mining. By the
voice of the people silver IS not to be
placed on its feet, and the decision OF
the voters has shatteeed the hope fo1
silver mining in the West for the
time at least. Should the Irrigation
Congress frame any outline or plan
that will appeal to Congress it will, in
a measure, make room for employ
ment of the silver miner and place
the West on an agricultural basis
that will more than equal the agri
cultural prosperity of the Easter
States.

WASTE NOT WANT NOT.

The old adage Of Waste Not Want
net" was exemplifed yesterday. The
only trouble with the maxim is that
the waste goes on. All Of yesterday
torrents of water were poured into the
Carson river and the drainage basin
for over one hundred miles and went
to the Carson sink, where the water
will do no man good.
By a series Of storage reservoirs
along the river enough water could
have been stored from the late storm
to cultivate thousands of acres that
are unoccupied at present.
While the State Of Nevada is de-
creasing in population and the citi-
zens paying war taxes, it should set
the few remaining citizens thinking.
With system of storage in the many
natural sites waiting occupancy, the
water of the floods goes over hun
bred miles below us and there sinks
There is something radically wrong
when a State with the agriculture
possibilities that are natural her
wants population to turn the so'
and place the richest soil on earth t
advantage. The people of ihis Stat
will watch with interest the action {
the Administration on the water que:
ton. The Republican power ca
: make the arid West the paradise {
the Union if it only gives the helI
ing hand.

FOLDERS DISTRIBUTED.
wow Halfway Companies Give Pub.
Mcity 10 Time Cards.

"Let me see New York Central
time card, please.n Thus was Ticket
Clerk George Martin, of the Iowa
Central, addressed the other day.
Certainly" was the ready reply,
and the young man reached to a
large rack of folders and train sched-
ules and had no difficulty in giving
the folder desired. The request
weuld have met with the same sue
cess had the passenger asked for a
folder Of the Canadian Pacific or the
Mexican Central or any other prom
inent road. The reporter wondered
how all these folders of the various
lines found their way to the stations
and hotel Hobbies and Mr.. Martin
made explanation.
1t is not generally known that there
are companies existing under corpor-
ave management, the business of
which is the distribution and circula-
tion of the folders and time schedules
ofthe railroads of the company. You
have, perchance, noticed at some
time neat cabinets containing the
folders standing in the Hobbies OF
hotels, passenger stations and other
public places. The cabinets are sup
Piled at all times with the latest time
cards of the prominent roads and the
public is enabled, generally, to gel
from them any particular folder de-
sired. The companies are in reality
sort OF bureau of publicity for the
railroad companies. A neat little in
come is derived from the compensa
ton given for service rendered anc
advertising schemes and privileges
that are worked in connection will
the distribution of the folders. TIT
railroad companies deliver their lates
folders to the distributor, and the!
are Immediately turnedi over t.
agents who keep the folder cabinet
supplied.
There is careful system in tn
work which requires the faithful per
Torrance of obligations and dutie
involved and it is said the roads hav
found the service of the companie
both acceptable and satisfactory.
