NEvADA's GROWTH IS
SAN FKANCIsCO's GAIN.

The S. F. Chronicle has lately publish
ed two editorials devoted to Nevada.
Ono OF them commented upon the
marvellous development OF Nevada with
in the last few years md the other
cnlnrges upon the benefit the
State will derive from the passage
OF the irrigstion bill. 1t spoke OF the
Interstate character Of the work rs
efTecting the use OF waters which fall in
California, but whose natural drainage
is into Nevada and adds: SIf the first
expenditure of National funds in aid OF
irrigation should be made for the bene-
fit of Nsvada, there will be none to say
that it was not to satisfy the greatest
need, or that the priority has o been
earned by the work OF Representative
Newlands in advocacy OF the irrigation
bill"
Nevada will highly appreciate this
kindly expression OF interest from San
Francisco. Realizing as all Nevadans
'io that Nsvada's mines was the source
OF much OF San Francisco's growth and
development, they have counted upon
her hearty support OF measures tending
to the prosperity Of the State. The long
period OF stagnation Of business in San
Francisco was largely due to the decline
OF the Comstock, and the restoration OF
Nevada's mineral output will mean
much to that City. San Francisco is
the natural entrepot Of Nevada and half
a million or a million people in this
State would mean such an advance Of
business IN San Francisco rs would far
surpass the advantages OF oriental trade,
seven thousand miles away.
Nevada will from this time on pursue
lines OF harmonious development OF all
OF its interests, agriculture, manufactur-
ing, industrial and commercial rs well
as mining. and il San Francisco will aid
us by its influence Ill securing the early
construction of irrigation works which
will accomplish the utilization OF the
Hood waters which fall on the eastern
slope OF the Sierra Nevadas and rush
through Nevada into the great lakes at
Tho sink OF the desert, where they serve
-" useful purpose, We assure her that no
community will receive go large an
indirect benefit rs San Froncisco.
Nevada is just as tributary to California
rs though she were part of the State,
and there il nothing that can be done
here in tho line OF development that will
not add 10 San Francisco's cminence as
the Queen City Of the Pacific Coast.

kind w~ords.-Reno Journal.

BASKETS OF GRASS
Basketry Students Hunt in the

BEST VARIETY GROWS IN SAND
No Dyes Are Used, but Color Is OBJ

Materials. ~ i

Miss Lima Eppendorff, teacher of rasketry
in Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, and her friend,
Miss Sarah Francis. are the pioneers. It is
said, in combining native products, natural
colorings, clever weaves and forms in artistic
basketry. To accomplish their purpose re-
quired long research and experiment in UNI
trodden fields. The materials used must be
not only dry, wiry, tough and pliable, but
they must also be glossy. and beautiful and
permanent in color ~ ; = NJ 4
L Their students, who will be found this sum
mer exploring swamps, meadows and beach :.
es, will tie their finds into. small punches and
label them with data as to the time gathered
and the soil and place from which they are
taken. Some grasses should be cut while
they are in seed, and others when ripe. Miss
Francis found last summer 100 kinds of USE
full and beautiful grasses, and Miss Eppendorff
discovered in the same season fifty valuable
sorts in a single locality. The basketmaker
soon learns that IL certain grasses are gath
ere! too early they are brittle and too easily
broken at the nodes
The principal materials are grasses, rushes,
sedges and Gne inner corn husks. A few i'm
ported materials. such as rafla and palm
