Long Beach Radish," In 1896 the

daily, at $3.50 per barrel, net. In 1897
the average net price was $500 In
1899, so barrels a day were shipped
at $3.SO per barrel. In 1899 the net
price per barrel was s5,i0, This year.
1901, the average daily shipment was
SOC barrels at $500 per barrel, net.
This increase shows a net gain over
the 1896 product of 300 per cent. and a
gain of ia per cent. in price. Pretty
good for five years growth.

TIE LOTTERY

A few days since | received through

Hack type. IAN Appeal" in which |
am urged to unite with the undersigned
and other voters Of the State Of New
ada. in their efforts 10 dissuade the
representatives from the proposed
amendment regarding lotteries.
AS TO the character and business
pursuits Of the undersigned am
only familiar with a few and they are
men who have been land some are
now drawing fat salaries from the
State. Not being in business. they
are. of course. not particularly anxious
or worried about the current affairs of
the different towns throughout our
State, or Of their own town In particu-
lar, as to whether they will be able to
pay rent and support their families
properly when business is gradually
"going down the ladder instead Of
becoming brisk. They extoll the pro-
bable calamity awaiting our State
should we have the much dreaded lot
terry. at is not passing strange
that the Cody and virtuous town OF
Reno should spend Its time in talking
with mouth and pen against Nevada
having a lottery instead Of cleansing
their wi town Of the gambling hells
Of which they have a large number.
In several Of the Nevada towns, | am
told there are from two to four draw
ings per day Gin Chinatown and that
they are patronized principally by white
people, some Of them being mere boys.
We also have, as your readers we'll
know, numerous vendors OF lottery
tickets. They flount them in o u faces
while walking on the street and we
have regular visits from them during
business hours. II we will notice, It Is
mostly the San Francisco ticket which
we are asked to buy and is it therefore,
strange that We are urged to throttle a
home industry that our San Francisco
neighbors may fatten on the money
sent them monthly by DIR own Statep
One has but to glance at the different
buildings in the Bay City, built by Ne
vada gold, and he can readily under
stand why oar State is in the deplor-
able condition in which is today. In
conclusion will say that as long as
gambling is allowed to run rampant in
all forms, and as long as outside lotter-
les are allowed to dump their tickets
upon US and take our money from our
State, just 50 long will | be in favor Of
having our W lottery and receive
from S45. 200 to $4,000 per year in
our treasury. There is a law against
selling lottery tickets. and. II the NOR
alists wish to act in the manner in
which they would have US believe. let
them start at the root of the evil and
all law abiding citizens will unite with
them in their efforts TO bless and re-
form Jul State.
