The Lure of the Saqebrush.

Bishop Whitaker, OF the Diocese
OF Pennsylvania, and wife arrived in
the city yesterday morning and will re-
main in Carson day or two as the
guests of Mrs. H. NJ. Yerington The
Bishop and his wife, who have not
been in Nevada for many years, were
little changed after so many years of
absence and were warmly greeted by
their old friends.
Mrs. Whitaker first enquired for a
little sagebrush, for she said that no
matter where she went she wanted that
scent to remind her OF the days she
had spent in the State years ago. She
had kept some sprigs in her Philadel-
phia home for some time but had Civ
ell them almost all away to friends,
and now that their fragrance was be-
coming lost, she wanted fresh sup.
ply Mrs. Whitaker, like all true Ne
vadans, having once been under the
subtle influence OF the sagebrush lure
returns to it again as ii by instinct,
for it is an influence from which none
can escape.
l. he opium eater cannot give up his
drug nor the tippler his wine, and the
writer's tell OF the strange spell that
comes over those who have once
breathed the scented air OF the Himy-
lays. They can rove the world over
| but there is lure in the enchantment
! of those mountains which comes from
the flowers and rotting woods that
| brings them back from any land under
/ the sun. One who has ever smelled
the scent of the sage brush after a rain
can never forget it while life lasts and
no matter where they roam the incll-
nation to return to the spot Will not
down.
So it is that the good Bishop and his
wife have come back after the long
years, to be cheered by the friends OF
! other days and breathe the enchanting
atmosphere which no other spot or
earth affords.
The Appeal has made an arrange,
ment with the Bishop and his wife by
which they are to be supplied yearly
with box of sagebrush sent to Phil
adelphia. Other friends knowing O
this desire on their part, can if the!
like, send these remembrances that TIL
memory of the State may always b.
with them

Ready For Business.

The State Board OF Capitol Commits
sioners have accepted the work OF
painting the Capitol inside and out.
There never was any danger OF the
Board not accepting the work as the
old building is as clean as could be
and the work seems to be in every way
first class. 1t has greatly improved
the appearance OF the building and it
is a pleasure to visit the offices in the
Capitol The main hall, which has long
needed a dose of paint. looks like new
Along with the many improvements
the State Printing Office has been
painted inside and the white walls give
the printers better light than they ev-
er had before. The State buildings,
like a home need a thorough overhaul
ing and cleaning every few years and
on this occasion it has received a very
thorough one. The work was per
formed by Cowing and reflects great
credit on his handicraft Many OF the
rooms were left to his selection in col
ors and they are tasty and artistic. The
work is all right and the building i:
better for it.

the rest going to points in. Vir-
ginia, West Virginia and Penn

goats is profitable in triple

probably the most important of
all, the goats tend to reclaim
land practically vast by weed
