THE NEW BORN CENTURY.

We who saw the 10Th century fade into
the silent past are considered the 'lncky
third gencration," of the sons of men. The
child born to-day dies before another century
gets here. Perhaps ninetenths of those who
are born thirty-three years from now will
have fallen asleep before another century is
born. The few who linger till the lapse Of
year. ushers in the dawning light of the Dist
century will be only those possibly, whom
the love of God has blessed with the three
score years and ten. But those who are
born in the third third are the ''lucky
third generation and, as the world wags
and Providence through nature metes out the
measure of mans life, a big percentage
gets to take square look at one end of two
centuries without wearing eyeglasses. This
is kind of special privilege that nature be-
slows upon the favored few at the expense
of the many, but the many can't helpit and
the few do the best they can to bear the ex-
ception.
One hundred years from now our grand
children will read with loving pity and great
commisseraton that it took us two hours

A Bad Bluff.

Former Secretary OF the Treasury.
George S. Boutwell,, has an article i'll
the Philadelphia Record in which he
discusses the question whether a State
can with justice to other States re
main in the union after its population
has ceased to be at least equal to the
number of persons required to COnsti
tute Congressional district in any OF
the more populous States. At least
one State has been admitted with less
population than serves as the basis OF
apportionment, and there are other
States whose people do not increase
as rapidly as does the ratio of repre-
!sentatives IN the Federal House. Our
neighboring State of Nevada is of
course named as the chief offender in
this way, and Mr. Boutwell, suggests
constitutional amendment to provide
that any State shall cease to be a State
and return to its former condition as
territory when it shall appear from
two consecutive decennial enumera-
tons by the Census Office that its
population is less than one-four- hun
dredth OF the population of the United
| States.
1t seems to US that Mr.. Boutwell, is
giving himself unnecessary concern
about Nevada. Our sister State is in
the dumps just now, but before two
consecutive enumerations of the popu-
| lation will be taken, the State may
have people to spare. 1t has 10000, >
square miles of territory, a consider
able part of which only needs water
and cultivation to be as productive as
the grand old state in which Mr. Bout
wei resides Mining has been SO pro-
fitable in Nevada that people cannot be
induced to await the slower returns of
agriculture The prediction is safe that
before a constitutional amendment can
be put through all the stages the Con-
stitution requires, Nevada will count
her people by the hundred thousand

The Pheasant.

The Monaghan preasant, which is
handsome and valuable game bird, has
been successfully introduced in New
York state. The bird was first intro
duced into this country in Oregon, and
the valleys of the Willamette, imp
qua and Rogue rivers are now we'll
stocked. 1t is reported also to have
crossed the Siskyous and entered Cal
ifornia. Its slaughter is temporarily
prohibited by law in Oregon and in
deniteiy prohibited in this State under
the game law passed by the last legis-
lature.-San Francisco Chronicle
This is the same bird that the sports
men of this section are trying to in
troduce in Nevada. 1t is likely that a
number of parent birds will be brought
| from Oregon this fall and set free, with
the idea that they will do better in a
wild state than at present-that OF rails
ing them With all the western states
starting in the industry it seems likely
that the Monaghan Pheasant will be
classed as a game bird in Nevada be-
| fore many seasons.

A GREAT POWER.
It Is At The Head OF
Carson River.

While Virginia City and Reno are
being supplied with electric power fur
nished by the Truckee River, Carson
is getting along with power from the
Carson river, which at the present time
is hard to figure on as water when it
reaches Empire at this time of year is
hard to figure on.
The greatest water power in this
section OF Nevada is at Woodfords,
at the head of Carson Valley. There
the water comes down Hope Valley
Canyon in a torrent, with a fall of at
least one thousand feet in the four miles
of the creek bed. The supply is al
ways there as no ranches are above
that require the water for irrigation.
Why this great power has not been
harnessed is a mystery. 1t is absolu
tely safe and never failing. 1t has a
inished, and by converting it into pow
er would not interfere with the irri-
CATION on the ranches below
The question of utilizing this great
power has been studied by Bob Logan
and other who are interested in Como.
The mines are only about thirty miles
, from the source OF supply, but the old
question of coin has prevented the uti-
| lity Of the water power at Woodfords.
| Gardverville lies but twelve or fifteen
miles below Voodfords and it is ru-
mored that the Valley city is seriously
! thinking OF hitching onto the stream
and furnishing electricity both ior pow
er and lights, With this power intro
duced along the Carson river, num-
Der OF mines and milling properties
could be run that are now idle.
The Floriston people have a good
power on the Truckec but it is not {
comparison to the power that is run
ming down Hope Valley Canyon.
There is power enough running over
the rocks up the Valley TO turn machin
cry in every camp within one hundrcl
miles OF the. starting point \ ioreigr
company will some day secure RICH
up that way and the people will won
der that they overlooked such gOot
thing.

They Carry Guns.

Los Angeles, August Ex-senator w.
A. Clark and his Los Angeles and Salt
Lake Railroad Company are fully pre-
pared to combat, with force of arms if
necessary, any further attempt by any
rival line to encroach upon their right
of way or vested rights in the desert.
During the past week a number of
men have been rounded up here in
Los Angeles and sent by one route or
another to the present scene of Mr..
Clark's operations. J. w. Miller of
this city has acted in the capacity of
enlisting agent. Another lot has been
rounded up in Arizona and will congre-
gate at the same center Every man
has been asked to go to work at either
driving stakes, packing chain or hand
ling powder, but at the same time he
has been given to understand that dan
ger would probably attach to his work
and his willingness to make fight if
necessary has been determined in that
way.
When interviewed today neither OF
Clark's representatives would admit
that fighting force had been sent to
the desert. ]. Ross Clark said:
I'VE have ben employing a large
force OF men lately, both in the engin-
eering and other division, and | think
our interests on thu desert are now SO
we'll protected that there is little dan
ger OF any further action, such as the
taking OF the Meadow Valley grade.

picked up here in Los Angeles and

equipment.

out by the combined effort Of every
one who is interested in this line.
