The acceptance by Congress of the
principal of federal aid in the construc-
ton of irrigation works in the western
states has given a great impetus to
every industry in that section of the
country. The people of the eastern
states are just beginning to realize the
opportunities offered in the territory
to be opened up. AS the proposition
develops, a tide of immigration will
inevitably set in and this region will
become one of the most populous and
prosperous in the country. With
large areas of reclaimable land, Nevada
especially will be benefited by the
measure.
The actual work of surveying, locat-
ing and constructing reservoirs and
other irrigation works will be done by
the Geological Survey. In order to
obtain a better understanding of the
present extent of irrigation, the loca-
ton of the areas irrigated, and to gain
other information useful in this work,
the Fifty-seventh Congress authorized
the director of the census to bring
down to date the irrigation statistics
obtained in 1900 by that Office. Letters
of inquiry and schedules are now being
sent out to secure the necessary infor-
nation. All interested in irrigation
should answer as fully and as promptly
as possible any inquiries they may re-
ceive so that the merits of the various
sections of the country may become
known. Irrigators who do not receive
blanks within a reasonable time should
notify the Census Officer at Washing
ton and they will be supplied.
The figures of the last census show
that the works required to irrigate
1858, ,273 acres cost $64, 2S9, ,601, an aver
age of $S.s5 per acre. At this rate the
expenditure required to reclaim the
area proposed would be at least $780,
100000. After the Government has
performed its part there will be no de-
lay by the farmers in carrying on the
work. While the initial expense is
enormous, it is not comparable with
the value of the crops which will be
grown on the lands reclaimed.

If You Knew.

by Farmers W lie.
If you knew that ten deep breaths
three times a day would overcome "he-
reditary consumption and make life
altogether more worth living, would
you continue TO act as if Gods pure air
was metered by trust?
If you knew that to selfishly seek
happiness was the strongest invitation
to misery, would you continue think
ing only of your own wishes and
welfare?
If you knew it would help you to be
kind, even TO those who are unkind to
you, would you keep on getting back"
at them with a tongue of sarcasm and
venom?
If you knew that hating any one
would hurt your mind and soul and
body, would you continue to send out
those boomerang darts Of malice and
bitterness?
you knew that attempts to "get
evenn with some one who has wronged
you would put you on a level with the
wrong doer, would you still insist upon
an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth?
If you knew that haste in eating
would quicken your trip to the ceme-
terry, would you continue to take five
minutes for breakfast, ten minutes for
dinner and fifteen minutes for supper?
If you knew that half the things for
which we struggle are not only not
necessary, but positively harmful,
would you continue to carry your
chase to the brink of nervous pros
tration2''
If you knew that for what one loses
in one way he can gain in another,
would you continue to worry and fret
and stew because things don't go your
way?
Ifyou knew that the cultivation of
composure and the ability to concen-
trate meant increased health, wealth
and happiness, would you not think it
worth while?
If you knew the power of nature
when given a chance to keep your body
sweet and clean and strong, would you
make it a cesspool, a receptacle for
patent poison?
Ifyou knew that self reliance builds
up, and dependence upon others tears
down, wouldn't you soon stop wanting
others to do your thinking and deeid-
ing for you?
If you knew that the doctrine of the
brotherhood of man was more than a
Sunday garment to be returned to a
closet Monday morning, would you
adopt the motto: Do others or they
will do you?
fyou knew that every act of your
life, every thought, shapes your char
acter, wouldn't you be just Il bit more
careful about your actions and your
words?
If you knew that you were dwarfing
your child by indulgence, would you
continue to deprive him of the blessing
of working out his own salvation?
If in what you have just read there
is helpful thought or two for you,
will you not lend a hand and pass it
along?

Now we know why SO many men
have rislled fortune and life in an at
tempt to find the north pole. A Yale
scientist tells us that the remains OF
our monkey and ape ancestors are bur-

Therefore the hunt for ancestors leads
us to brave the dangers of the frozen

Who ever heard of cutting glass with
n thread? Yet it can be done. Dip the
thread in sulphur and wrap it around
the part of the piece of glass that you
wish to cut. Then set fire to the thread
and while burning dip quickly in cold
water and it will then cut the glass.
This is not only a very curious but a
very useful thing to know.

Third in size among her sister States
of this glorious American Union, Ne
vada, the battle-born home of
silver and sagebrush, again comes
annually to the front, wishing every
body happy New Year. Her Il 900
600 acres of territory is sparcely set
tied with less than $4,000 population,
but it is an indomitably wide-awake
population, alive to their opportunities
and inviting outsiders to come in and
win. Her agricultural interests have
tlourished we'll during the past year,
raising plenty of grain and hay for
home consumption and for shipments
outside Beef cattle have brought
good prices, with large sales, but no
selling short. Nevada's cattle range
over more than a thousand hills, and
the supply is always equal to the de-
mand. But mining, the great para
mount interest of the State, which has
languished somewhat, has come more
strongly to the front than ever during
the past year or two. Good mining
developments were made all over the
State. Tonopah being the bright par
tieular speciality, and even the old
Comstock, Oldest of them all, again
is rising above the million mark annu-
ally in gold and silver production,
with good promise of exceeding two
millions during the coming year. -Alf.

MIRACLES BY ELECTRIC AID

Physicians Remarkable Demonstra-
tion of the Powers OF science.
In an attempt to show the relation
ship between science and religion Dr.
Alfred Geyser, a well known physician
in the Bronx district Of New York city.
recently gave an electrical seance at
his home. His audience consisted of
forty members Of the Holy Name soei-
ETY. Of st. Anselms Roman Catholic
church in New York and two priests,
Rev. Fathers Rupert and Germanus,
who are members Of the Benedictine
order.
In his parior DIR. Geyser had a static
battery, with twelve large revolving
plates and a lot of other electrical ap-
paratus. lie had all the lights turned
down, and when the room was in dark
ness he asked for volunteer subject.
Thomas Mckay stepped forward and
was placed on the table by the doctor,
who applied the battery. The subject
was charged with electricity, and blue
flames rose from his body.
DIR. Geyser took a small electric
brush and demonstrated that he could
make blue flames shoot from the mans
head, ears and hair as he stood two
feet away waving the brush. He then
placed the brush to McKay's mouth,
causing a fame to dart out.
"And they shall speak many tongues"
quoted the doctor, as a babbling noise
came from his subjects lips. The doc
tor emphasized the resemblance of the
effects Of his experiments to certain
wonders and miracles spoken Of in the
Bible.
Il want to show" said DR.. Geyser,
"that many Of the wonders God per-
formed may be accomplished today by
good electrician"
Continuing, the demonstration gave a
realistic imitation of thunder and light
ming, causing flashes to dart through
the room. He used the X rays TO prove
that man could now see what was in
visible and the telephone to prove man
was all hearing.
In all the exhibition lasted for an
hour and d half. The doctor said be
had invited the priests, who are old
friends Of his, that they could get ma
terial for sermons on the subject. Fa-

An able New York judge recently
gave. a severe rebuke TO the attorneys
on both sides OF case for unprofes-
sional conduct in attempting to infin-
ence the jury by declaring their own
personal belief in the evidence on
their side. Every juror fit to serve
knows that an attorneys belief Is not
evidence, that the attorney Is well
aware Of it and that his declaration
thereof TO the jury IS certainly an Inn
proper trick and quite probably lie.

RESOURCES OF ALASKA.

This Summer and Report.

Government Expedition 10 Go There
This SIMMER and Report.
A government expedition to Alaska
to report on the resources of that re-
gion III other gold bearing fields is
the latest project, and the indications
are that the start will be made in the
early summer. Information received
at Washington from experts Of the
geological survey point to the conclu-
sion that though there are still many
tons of valuable ore deposits not yet
uncovered. the supply Is not inexhaust-
ibe and the excitement over the dis
coyerles OF precious metal has done
the district a real damage by diyerting
public attention from the other re-
sources, says the New York Post.
The biologists think, for instance,
that they find significant coal and pc
troleum traces along Cooks inlet. The
Tanana river is thought to pass near
another gold field not yet opened. This
will keep interest alive now that the
placer mining at Nome is growing a
little less attractive, and SO much CAPT
tai has gone into the Klondike that
that field has about reached its maxi
mum Of productivity.
No outside help will be accepted by
the government scientists on their
work for the government, but arrange
ments are making for the cooperation
of a number of professional men Of
science on general results.
