All through the corn belt this year
the utilities of the corn crop lie as
much in the fodder as in the ear. With
hay at $40 per ton the acre of corn
fodder is worth not less than So to
feed on the farm, which, with twenty
five bushels of corn at do cents, will
make the crop of 1901 one of the most
profitable ever raised.

Hawaii offers immense possibilities
to the gardener. So far as most small
fruits and vegetables are concerned
there is no season, for they can be
planted at any time and are maturing
at all seasons Of the year. Strawberries
are available at all times. Raspberries
bear for six months. Tomatoes bear
for years and grow into small trees.
Plants of the lima bean and cucumber
bear for over year. The islands have
a mean temperature of between 20 and
so, with a very small margin of yaria-
ton from these figures the year round.

man, even If he only knows Just enough
to keep city crossing clear for the

dude and cigarette flend can hardly
find any place where he will be toler-
ated for his board and clothing.

not only Real Admrals
Sampson and Schley but also Captain
Clark, has the merit of giving honor
to the one naval officer in the late un-
pleasantness who did notable service
without any reward whatever. Captain
Clark supervised the performance of as
brilliant feat Of seamanship us was
ever performed in any navy. The
achievement of the Oregon in rounding
the Horn. participating in the battle
of Santiago and reporting at the naval
)ase ready for further duty did more
20 advertise to the world the efficiency
of our navy than any other single cir
cumstanCe in the whole Spanish Ameri-
'an war. BY reason of the archaic
method Of promotions then in vogue he
actually suffered financially and pc
runiarly. for this achievement.
Holding the opinion we do of Admiral
schley, we cannot cnthuse over the
proposition to make him !; vice-ad-
miral: but if it will put an end to the
lissraccful scandal-mongering which
has developed in and out of the navy,
the solution will be worth while There
ran be no question in the minds Of fair
minded men as to the justice of pro-
noting Rear Admiral Sampson to this
grade. Leaving entirely out of con-
sideration the question whether he was
,rtuullV in command Iui.;nr tbc hnttIe
IN Santiago harbor, the fact is undis-
puted that he supervised with notable
efficiency the difficult and arduous oper-
ptions of the North Atlantic naval cam

'ponsi ibility ever assumed by an Amcri.
IAN naval officer with credit to him

hoversy and restore harmony in the

ment. Announcement has been made
to the CAPTAINS ana chief engineers of

beginning with the new year. an extra
sum of money. equal to 10 per cent,

10 all the employees of the lake marine
branch. about 1000 in number. and
later, TO the entire working force of

purpose has been under consideration
by Il number of the large employing
corporations in this vicinity. While
we are not authorized to anticpate

Of these days want to make in their

the executive intellect of some of the
largest employers that we have in these
parts has been giving much thought to
the problem of securing better feel

has hot been brought about by The car

Our Prediction Correct.

Sometime ago the B)NANzA stated
that the District Attorney of Lander
county had overstepped his legal
authority in BUSTING Dixon and Pohl
as school trustees. The teachers
employed by the above two named
trustees were not allowed to teach
and the new board by force placed
their instructors in charge. The
Supreme Court decides that Dixon
and Pohl are the legal school trustees
of Austin school district, The Dis
trict Attorney will now have to pay
several hundred dollars out of his
own pocket for the teachers he en-
ployed. Gayhart and Van Patten
are the trustees who were appointed
by the County School Superintendent
and whom the Supreme Court de
throned. The affair was petty To-
cal spite from the start. The public
school is always the sufferer of these
tide plorable squabbles

Parkersburg, West Virginia, were
united in marriage Clay Peter,
Justice of the Peace, performed the

only the night before on the stage
from the east, and had never seen
her future husband except through
the instrumentality of photograph,
the match having been worked up
and arranged by relatives of the
bride and groom and through cor
respondence. The bride looks al
right, and the groom is to be con
graduated on drawing such prize
out of the effete east, and the bride
in turn is to be congratulated on
having secured for husband IA citi-
zen of such promising and alto
gether desirable spot as Tonopah,
Nevada, with which no part of West
Virginia is to be compared for a
moment.

SEEKING INVESTMENT.
TOnOpah's Future Now an Assured Fact
Its Lodges Are Permanent.

Capitalists from all sections of
Uncle Sans domain are sending their
representatives to Tonopah to ac-
quire section of this phenomenal
rich territory. During the past
week one deal was consumated, the
ground bonded covering considerable
space Capital has at last awakened
TO the true realization that this des-
ert country bids fair to out rival the
gold fields of the frozen north, and is
clamoring to invest its wealth in the
mines and prospects of this district.
The permanency of the various lodges
in the camp is already assured, by
the fact that has depth was attained
each foot grew richer, both
in gold and silver, The deepest
shaft "a little over 200 feet shows
nearly five feet of 5000 ore and it's
gold values increasing With these
cold facts staring capital in the face
is it a wonder that it is eager to Sc
cure territory that will be remuner-
alive ten-fold?
There is not a sensible individual
who has examined the fabulous wealth
deposits of this district but will
testify that such richness that is en-
countered everywhere here, was
never known before.
Then is it wonder that capitalists
are looking to Tonopah. Those who
examined the mines here in their
earliest development reported ad-
verse to the buying of them, fearing
the rich lodges would not go down.
To-day the same parties would pay
s., 900, 900 for the Tonopah property
could it be purchased
The values exist, Tonopah will re
main on top, those who could have pur-
chased the mines in their infancy
humble to themselves the question
why did they let this golden oppor-
tunity glide from them. Greater
discoveries are yet to be made in
Tonopah.
