as in California.
There are fifty places near Los Ange-
les which can be reached in from one to
three hours, and at cost of from ten
cents to four or five dollars. There is
Santa Monica, for instance, right on the
sea coast and surrounded by scenes of
remarkable beauty. Santa Barbara, one
of the prettiest places in Southern Cali
fornia, is but four hours ride from Los
Angeles. San Diego, which enjoys the
reputation of having the most perfect
climate in America, is only 1870 miles
distant. Pasadena, the winter home of
millionaires from all parts of the coun.
try, is to all intents and purposes a
suburb of Los Angeles.

tractive places, are described in Cali.

standard sleeping cars daily from Omaha
to San Francisco tourist sleeping cars,
three times week, Omaha to Los

The University Troubles.

Unless DIR. Stubbs makes good his
determination to sue the Reno Jonr-
nal for libel, the recent trouble at
the State University appears to be
settled.
Boiled down, the Carson Appeal,
about states the cause and result of
the differences:
"Dr Stubbs went east on business
connected with educational matters
and also matters connected with the
cattle and irrigation questions, water
storage and the like, and his trip
will be of great benefit to Nevada in
the future.
During his absence a sort of in
surrection was started, which the
Regents of the University promptly
quelled. Prof. Jackson was attend
ing to a good deal of private business
for which the State paid him to at
tend to. He was notified by the
Board of Regents, and very proper
ly, tnat he wonld have to attend
more to University matters, and in
huff, he resigned. Prof. Phillips,
in another huff, demanded an ex-
planation of the Board in mat
ter which did not concern him,
and was relieved of his position.
This was about the least the Regents
could do, when the students took
steps to get up demonstration, Re
gent Evans visited the place and told
them they would have to stop their
nonsense, and if the Board could not
maintain order in the University
they wonld close down the works
Any other Board Of Regents would
have done the same thing under
similar circumstances.

While camped in the Wallapai
mountains recently there came to
my camp from off the Santa Fe Pa
cific an English overland tourist,
aud after passing the usual saluta~
tons aud greetings the stranger
proposed to join the desert express
train of burros and try his luck
prospecting. The first camp was
made at Maggie Springs where stood
an old miners cabin. In the NOR
ming he proposed to help cook break
fast and built rousing fire in the
old fireplace Of the cabin, and star
ted to fry the bacon all at once a
startled expression came from the
embryo cook, and turning quickly l
discovered large king snake siz-
zliug in the fryingpan. The chin
ney getting hot had dislodged his
snakeship and down he came into
the hot grease. GOOD God, part
ner! i've got 'em again, he exclaim-
eb, as he danced excitedly around,
holding the frying-pan at arms
length. 81 know i've got 'em, and
hav'nt had a drink for month" :"
1t took quite a while to quiet him
down and the next day he started out
for the railroad, declaring that he
had enough of the desert.

LoBSTERs RISE IN PRICE.
taceans VIII Have to Pay More
for Them This Year.

This year people who are fond of
eating Holsters will have to pay dearly
for the privilege of indulging their ap-
petites in such sea food for the reason
that the crustaceans are scarcer now
than ever before" said wholesale deal
er in fish in New York to the writer
day or two ago. Live Holsters are at
present selling at 20 cents per pound,
and as only comparatively small catch
es are daily reported by the fishermen
of Stonington, Block Island, and other
well-known lobstering grounds as far
east as Portland, Me-, the indications
are that further advance of from five
to ten cents pound may soon be looked
for
Ten years ago almost any quantity
of fine Holsters could have been pur-
chased in New York at the rate of five
cents pound. The average size of live
Holsters that then came to market was
20 inches long, not counting claws. The
largest average now is not more than
half that length. There used to be
plenty of 14-pound Holsters and l have
seen them weighing ls pounds. A lob
ster as large that would have to be 30
years old at least. This shellfsh grows
slowly and at three years old is not
much bigger than crawfish. A lobster
under five years old isn't fit for market,
but thousands of such youngsters have
to pass muster on our fish stalls nova
days.
"The present dearth Of Holsters in
New England waters is largely due to
the enormous number of understood
ones that have in the past been caught
and sold for canning purposes in Maine.
Millions of small shellfish that should
have been allowed to develop and breed
were thus annually exterminated, and
the result has been that the supply OF
eatable Holsters has dwindlcd from 3o,-
100000 in 1889 to probably less than
100000 in 1899.
The regulations concerning the cap
ture of Holsters in New England waters
are now as stringent as any game law.
mo Holsters are being canned in
Maine for the reason that the short lob.
ster law has killed the business in that
state. The Gamers do not find it profit
able to buy Holsters at the present high
rate, and they cannot purchase short
ones or shellfish weighing less than ten
pounds.
For the last four years energetic ef-
forts have been made by the United
States fich commission to restore lob
sters to their former abundance by
planting millions of lobster fry from
Fishers Island sound east along the
coast as far as Maine, Meantime the
chief supply of live Holsters comes from
the British provinces The shellfsh
are shieed here in steamers especial
fitted with wells that have a capadi
for holding from $4,000 10 10000 liy5
Holsters. These steamers touch AT 20
ton and New York and frnrl these two
cities the Holsters are shipped by whole.
sale dealers all over the United States"

viii Work Out.

From every quarter in Nevada
the people are talking of another
dry season and the press is talking
storage of water by the farmers. The
matter will gradually work its way
out by few more years of drouth,
The farmers are all clamoring for
water to place additional acreage
under cultivation and at the same
time are looking for nature to fur
nish the moisture.
The amount of money lost each
year by crops failing from lack of
water would build reservoirs in every
section that would bring out the
needed relief. The western slope of
Nevada is not the only section that
is in need of proper means of water
storage, as the great east is now CIV
ing the matter consideration.
At the terminal of nearly every
river in Nevada there is lake which
is filled with waste water which is
lower than the surrounding country,
rendering the vast storage useless as
far as irrigation is concerned. At
the head waters can be found reser-
voir sites that would furnish water
in the season when needed. The
farmers after few more seasons of
drouth, will stop talking and fight
ing each other over scarce water and
the money saved will place them in
easy circumstances. The only way
the people of Nevada gain knowledge
is through hard experience, and they
are getting a dose of it at present.
Every year there are conventions
held throughout the west for the
purpose ST talking over irrigation,
and these conclaves are generally at
tended by representative men who
generally have money and water to
give away.
A State convention of the farming
class in Nevada should be organized
and could be, which would place the
agriculturist In position to form
districts and ultimately do some
thing for the course that will place
Nevada Oh the level as an agricultu-
raj State.-Carson Appeal.

INSTANTLY KILLED.
Igmettz Zell, of Poniatowski, Killed
by Tree Falling Upon Him.

Igmettz Zell, of Poniatowski, aged 65
years, was Instantly killed on Wednes-
day morning, by tree falling upon
him. Zell had been employed by Al
bert Weinesski and they were both on
the latter's farm, near Poniatowski,
where they had been engaged in telling
trees. They had just finished chopping
down one of the trees, and as it fell it
knocked large branch from another
tree, and this falling from the height of
40 feet struck Mr.. Zell directly on the
head and killed him instantly. Wei
nesski, who was a few rods away did
not see the accident, on account of
trees and bushes obstructing his view.
He called out several times but receiv-
ing no answer so went to the place
where he thought Zell must be, and
found him lying under the heavy
branch of the tree, with his skull badly
crushed and the blood streaming from
mouth and nose. He did all he could
to restore consciousness but to no avail
He then summoned assistance and later
Coroner w. &. Dickens was called over
by telegram. DIR. Dickens went to
Poniatowski on the Wednesday even
ing's train. He examined the body,
took the testimony of the witnesses, and
decided that an inquest over the body
was unnecessary
