Recently some wild eyed and ex-
cited telegraph reporter sent a dis
patch from Reno describing a sand
storm on the Nevada desert One
on reading the account would reach
the conclusion that the whole country
between Reno and Winnemucca was
a desert rivalling the great African
Sahara. The account has gone all
over the United States and displayed
with scare heads. Such foolishness
does more to set the state back than
almost anything one can think of in
connection with Nevada The next
thing we will hear OF is that camels
and dromedaries stalk over our sands
as they do in Asia. The ground des-
crlbed as desert" in the article is
a vast eEpanse Of wheat and alfalfa in
the summer.

several years ago. He was enthusiastic in
his religion, and his ardent responses during
