Irrigated Nevada.

The Bradley Land & Cattle Co. Will
cut four thousand tons of hay on their
Elko ranch this season. The Dangberg
L. & L. S. Co. will cut more than this
amount on their Carson Valley ranch,
and the Hickey L. & L. s. Co. will put
up about seven thousand tons on the
home ranch in Antelope Valley. There
is scarcely agricultural land enough in
Maine to stack this hay, yet the down
casters write fiippantly about Nevada
and say that wherever there is irriga-
ton there the plants become more
white with allxali. The seepage of the
water does this. If the only result of
irrigation is to turn these lands into
alkali, then they might as well remain
as they are"
What rotl Nevada hay is shipped in
carload lots, if not by the trainload, to
the New England States to feed race
horses and blooded stock, because it is
the best hay in the world. Nevada ir-
rigated lands produce three crops of
alfalfa hay each season, averaging in
Carson Valley, at Lovelock and at
other points five tons per acre. This
hay is worth from SO to So per ton in
the stack on the ranches. In other
words our alfalfa lands yield the farmer
clean profit of 500 per acre or more
each year. We have 10000 acres of
these lands in Carson Valley, in sight
of the COURIER Office, and this is only
one little corner of Nevada. The best
New England farm lands are worth
from 500 to $75 per acre. Our best alfalfa
land cannot be touched for less than
5000 per acre, and there is very little
for sale at any price. The irrigated
lands of Nevada are very fertile and
productive, and very valuable, and our
Eastern friends will become aware of
this fact some day, when Uncle Sam
has damned a few reservoirs and con-
structed few irrigating bitches.

A new receipt for sleeplessness has
been discovered. Very simple, too. The
remedy is to pay an old debt or two
and you will sleep better. Such rem
edy is far reaching. The man who col
lects an old debt sleeps better himself,
and he can make some other man sleep
better, and SO ON. Try it, try it.

ALASKAN ANIMALS SHOWN. Il

The most complete collection ever made
OF pelts and skulls Of Alaskan mammals
is now on private view at the American
Museum Of Natural History. II is tho

OF last year.

collecting mammals and more than 1000
specimens were secured. The collecting
was begun In June at Mount Wraneel.

Columbia. From there the collectors
worked their way back TO Wrangel.
They secured a fine series OF moose,

Bucknam-Dudley.

A very quiet home wedding occurred
at Bryant Pond Feb. 10th, at high noon
The contracting parties were DR.. r. w
Buchanan of Portland and Miss Olivia
D. Dudley of Bryant Pond. The parlol
was tastefully decorated for the occasion
The bride was given away by her father,
and entered the parlor to the strains OF
the Wedding March from Lohengrin,
played by Mrs. II. A. Brown. The bride
was becomingly gowned in lavender
silk with white trimmings. Rev. Henry
A. Brown of Bryant Pond officiated.
Immediately after the ceremony a wed
ding breakfast was served. The gift to
the bride from the bridegroom was a
diamond brooch. DR.. and Mrs. Buck
nam will reside at 127 Congress Street,
Portland, Maine.
Mrs. Buchanan is the only daughter of
Ansel Dudley, Esq, and is very lovely
and accomplished young lady. She is
graduate of Goddard Seminary. Barre,
Vermont, and afterwards attended a
private school in Boston, DR.. Buchanan
is native of Lewiston. After gradual
ing from Bowdoin Medical College with
honors, he was house doctor at the Gen.
trail Maine General Hospital for year.
He practiced medicine at Bryant Pond
and Bethel for a short time, and then
went to Portland, where he has resided
for the past four years, building up a
large and lucrative practice and making
a host of friends socially. For the past
three years the doctor has been men,

The Perkins Benefit.

The promoters of the Herbert E..
Perkins benefit certainly should have
been pleased with the audience that filled
the hall Thursday evening. The seats
were all taken at an early hour. Then
as many chairs at least as the law ought
to allow were placed in the aisles, and
the standing room in the rear was we'll
occupied. Nothing but minstrel show
or a free entertainment ever fills the
house better.
However much the spirit of philan-
thropy may have contributed to the
large attendance, certainly no one could
complain that he did not get his moneys
worth. The opening number on the
evenings programme was march by
the Briggs Kids, who made their first
public appearance as an orchestra. They
also played a Happy Home medley later
in the programme, and responded to an
encore. The Briggs Kids are all right.
With the frequent changes of movement
in the medley which they played, there
was an occasional place where the time
would be slightly mixed for a measure
or two, but for an orchestra of so young
members, making it's first appearance
before a large audience, it was re-
markably good performance, and well
merited the hearty applause which it re.
ceived. The orchestra has future be,
| fore it.
The comic operetta, "The Lottery
Ticket" was first presented, and KEPT
the audience amused and delighted, with
its light, appropriate music and the
quality of the acting which gave so mucl
effect to its funny situations. AS shoulc
be the case with comic opera, there il
nothing serious, except in serio-cOmi'
way, about the piece, and all en-
tered fully into the spirit of it. George
A. Briggs as Theophilus Crank portray
ed the rich old miser to the life. james
Dunn as Henry wilkins was a mode
comic-opera lover. Mrs. L. S. Barne
as Mrs. Jerusha Goodhouse presented
picture of despairing widowhood, star
walton, and hankering for pie, which
would be difficult to excel. Mrs. II.
Wilson as Melissa Dobbins was an ex
tremely smart and vivacious housemaid
The farce, 1.-THE Darkey Wood Dealer,
was played by Albert D. Park as DeacO
Darby Decker, henpecked; Mrs. r. l.
Cummings as Mrs. Deacon Decker
the practical head of the house
and Fred E. Hall as the darkey WOO
dealer. The cast was good for the RI
spective parts. The action OF the piec
is farcical in the extreme, but it keep
the audience well entertained for hal
hour.
The entire receipts of the evenin
were some more than $4,000, and viii
$4,000 was the sum desired to a
complish the end aimed at of procurin
an improved artificial leg for Mr.. Perkin

Farm Buildings Burned.

The buildings on the Levi Swain home.
stead farm, situated on the Swain road
in the town of Rumford about l-2 miles
from Rumford Falls post Office, were
totally destroyde by fire Friday after.
noon, the 9th inst. Sixteen head of
cattle, four shoats, and lumber of hens
and ducks were burned, also about thirty
tons of hay and most of the farming
tools. Two horses were saved from the
barn, and some changes of clothing from
the house. The fire broke out in the
barn in the middle of the afternoon, from
some unknown cause, and burned fast
and fiercely. The men of the house and
neighborhood being in the woods at
work, there was very little assistance
available. The buildings were occupied
by Mrs. Lucinda B. Swain, widow of
Levi Swain, and her son-in-law, Fri Rob
inson, with his family. The loss is esti-
mated at $4,000, with no insurance.

Names Great Water Powers.
IMPEssIvELY SUMMARIZED BY HYDRoG-
GRAPHERs OF THE UNITED STATES
GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

Of the loo, 900 horsepower generated
by water in the whole United States, as
reported in the census of 1900, over $780,.
900, or nearly 10 per cent of the total
amount, is produced in Maine; and while
there has been a steady decline since
1880 in the number of water wheels in
use in that state, owing to the tendency
to install larger wheels, the actual
amount of power generated has been
more than doubled during the last TWEEN
ty years.
This great power is utilized by nearly
A, 500 mills, of whichlumber, paper and
pulp, and cotton mills are by far the
most numerous.
The factors which make the water
powers of Maine so valuable are their
great number and size-every watershed
in the state is water producer-and
their constancy, occasioned by the great
volume and steadiness of flow of the
streams. The latter factor is no doubt
largely due to the wide extent of forests
and to the favorable climatic conditions.
So closely associated are these powers
with almost every line of development
in the state that the attention of manu-
facturers and investors is being called to
the necessity of a thorough study of the
photographic conditions, which must
precede an intelligent use of the water
supply. The State Board of Trade has
already recommended that stream gaging
and discharge measurements begun by
the United States Geological Survey be
extended to all important streams in the
state, and the publication by the Geolog-
ical Survey of recent report water
Supply Paper No. 60 in which all the
available data regarding Maine streams
and water powers have been brought
together for the first time, by Mr.. II. A.
Presley, photographer of the Survey,
will serve to stimulate the present
interest.
