State Land Matters.

Persons intending to purchase lands
granted to the State of Nevada by the
United States are notified that dis
patch received by State Land Register
Kelley from w. NJ Stewart and G. j.
Happier, State land agent at Washing
ton, states that the records of the Gen.
eral Land Office show that under the
two million acre grant the Secretary OF
the interior has approved and certified
to the State 1,932,351 acres, and that
selections yet unapproved aggregate
$3.50 acres
This shows that the two million acre
grant has been overdrawn TO the ex-
tent of 1,200 acres, exclusive of selec-
tions made during the current month
of March and not yet reported by the
United States Land Office of Carson
district to the General Land Office.
Selections under the other land grants
are, and for several years have been,
suspended by order of the Commits
sioner of the General Land Office.
There are, however, over ,00C
acres of approved lands which have re-
verted to the State for various causes.
but principally for failure of applicants
to pay interest when it became due.
These lands are subject to entry by
legal applicants, and, as they have
been approved to the State, applicants
are not required to pay United States
selection fees, or furnish non-mineral
affidavits, but can Immediately enter
into contract with the State for the
lands.

There is apt to be warm time when
the leaders of the S. p. Party meet in
Reno next month. 1t is rumored that
w. Il. Sharon, who was practically
read out of the party during the Sena
terial contest last winter, is intending
to make a fight for his former position
as Chairman of the State Central Com.
mittee. Sharon is Newlands' man
ager and unless Wallace and Newlands
have "kissed and made up" this con-
test for the chairmanship will be fought
to the finish. After the 18th of April
it wont be so hard to tell on which side
of the political fence the push" is 60
ing to be in the coming campaign.-

M. S. Anderson, a colored man, saved
the lives OF six people during fire in
a fat house in New York the other
day. The flames had gained consider

been cut off by the flames. With two
passersby Anderson ran into the build

Money in Walnuts.

The Santa Barbara Pressis exhorting
the farmers of that section to raise di-
versified crops and relates as an en-
enlargement to Others the experience
of one man with walnuts. 1t says:
David Beck has 240 soft-shell walnut
trees in full bearing. In 1899 they
produced 1890 pounds or 191 pounds
to the tree. The trees are set seven
teen and a half to the acre, fifty feet
apart, and accordingly one acre pro-
dueed 3,339.57 pounds of nuts The
240 trees occupy 1877 acres; the nuts
sold at an average of S cents per pound
-S247 for the product of one acre The
total cost of cultivating, harvesting
and marketing per acre was S36, leav-
ing a net profit of S211 to the acre, or
So, ,16i for the crop of less than fourteen
acres,
That would be better than wheat at
the highest price that could ever be
obtained.

A great share of the West is to-day
almost as much an undiscovered coun-
try as it was before the cry of gold was
heard from California Mountains of
untold richness lie undeveloped and
desolate, surrounded by burning plains
and barren wastes. Not only gold but
the baser metals are locked in count
less tons in the rocky bosom of the
western sierras. And why are they
not mined? Why does not capital
flow in to make the boulder and the
earth unburden their treasures for
mans use? Why? Because of lack OF
transportation Torrents of immense
volume rush down the slopes during
the period of melting SHOWS and spread
away in glistening streams through
the brown valleys or over broader
plains, but in a little while their vol
ume wanes and anon they are but dry
beds of sand, supporting no life nor
growth. Yet were the vast bulk of
this waste water stored in mountain
reservoirs it would afford a perennial
supply, capable of irrigating millions
of acres of land whose great fertility
has lain dry and dormant for thous-
ands of years Then would the mines
be developed. In sections where irri-
cation has forced its way, there rail
roads have gladly followed, and with
the soil yielding the necessaries of life
to man and beast in abundance and
with cheap transportation at hand,
mines have been developed and added
millions to the mineral output, which
otherwise would have lain dormant
forever.

Editing Without knowledge.

Training is supposed to be necessary
in all professions except that of editing
newspaper. A large number of edu-
Gated men, not to say the majority,
have an idea that they could take the
helm in daily journal and greatly i'm
prove its interest to the public and it's
moral character. They are not un-
aware that the past is filled with the
wreckage of newspapers, and that
where one has survived ten or more
have persisted. In spite of this we'll
known fact thousands of men, men of
all professions, would be ready to take
the chair of an editor-in-chief at an
hours notice. and would rejoice i'm the
opportunity to test their air-drawn
ideals and original conceptions. They
would not expect nor ask TO be physi-
clans, lawyers, builders or railroad
managers without long preparation.
The religious world takes care that no
one is admitted to a pulpit without

Still More Counterfeiting.

The Secret Service has unearthed an.
other band of counterfeiters and Sc.
cured large quantity of bogus bills,
which are so cleverly executed that
the average person would never sus-
peet them of being spurious. Things
of great value are always selected by
counterfeiters for imitation, notably the
celebrated Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which has many imitators but nc
equals for indigestion, dyspepsia, con-
stipation, nervousness and general de-
bility. The Bitters sets things right in
the stomach, and when the stomach is
in good order it makes good blood and
plenty of it. In this manner the Bit
ters get at the seat of strength and vi.
tality, and restore vigor to the weak
and debilitated. Beware of counter.
feits when buying.
