farmers who have raised a second
crop, said today that late letter
from brother at New Iberia, La,
informed him that several frosts
and some thin ice had visited Louis
lana this season. But Louisiana is
fit only for rice and other hardy
grains. The Brownsville country
produces better rice and all other
grains, vegetables, fruits and flow
ers besides. There is no comparison
in the two sections of the country.

There vas a meeting last evening
attended by representatives from
all the labor unions in Reno. The
purpose of the meeting was to
arrange for a grand demonstration
on Labor Day, says the Reno
Journal.
Plans for the celebration were
discussed. As this was simply a
preliminary meeting no definite
action was taken, bu. it was decided
to hold another meeting next Sun
day evening, when committees
will be appointed to make all nee
essary arrangements.
This much vas settled. There
will be one of the biggest parades
aver seen in Reno, with at least
three bands in line. There will be
floats representing the various
trades and occupations followed
by the unions. The railroad men
of Wadsworth and the unions of
Virginia have promised to come.
In fact it will be a State event,
the first real Labor Day celebration
ever held in Nevada.
There is no State Labor Day
holiday and Governor Sparks was
to have been approached in this
matter, but His Excellency took
the trick mself. He preached
the matter to the unions and said
he was not on y willing to appoint
a Labor Day, but wanted to be in

F. F. Frisbee, one of the discover
ers of Cripple Creek, drove in a
wagon from Calientes, Nevada, to
Marvel, Cal. They took two
months for the trip, making side
excursions to explore the mineral
section on both sides of the survey
for the railroad.
"There is a good mineral country
on both sides of the new railroad
practically all the way acros Ne
vada,' said Mr. Casper yesterday.
For most of the distance it has
been prospected but little, and the
future can only be surmised, but
the surface indications are good
and time will probably develop a
large number of paying mines of
silver, lead, copper and gold.

coming from there is confident Of
a great future, but I doubt if the
product eventually will exceed that

Crescent district, on the other side
of Nevada"
"On both sides Of the route se-
lected by the new railroad, going
west from Calientes, there are good
mineral indications. We met a
number Of prospectors who liked
the country. There are surface
showing of gold, copper, silver and
lead in various places, but practi

them. AS soon as the railroad

Vegas Valley, where Senator

in Nevada. There are warm
springs there and a beautiful Wow

event, it is the natural center for
quite an extensive mineral region.
There is water for a town and for
shops, and it is on excellent juno

different mineral districts which
are sure to be opened up.

their manifold shortcomings, nor yet
I'm | ignorant of their many strong
and good qualities. For a number OF
years | spent most of my life on the
frontier. and lived and worked like any
other frontiersman. The wild coun-
try in which we dwelt and across
which we wandered was in the far
west, and there were OF curse many
features in which the life of a cattle
nan on the great plains and among
the Rockies differed from that led by a
backwoodsman of the Allegheny forest
a century before. Yet the points OF
resemblance were far more numerous
and striking. We guarded our herds
and branded cattle and shaggy horses,
hunted bear, bison, elk and deer, estab-
lished civil government and put down
~evildoers, white and red, on the n
of the Little Missouri and among the
wooded PERCEPTIONS foothills of the

who a hundred years before built their

PRESIDENT ON eRoTHERLY LOVE

President Roosevelt in his speech in
Kansas City preached the gospel of
brotherly love as applied to capital and
labor. He pointed out that one is de-
pendent on the other, that relations be-
tween them should be peaceful and
harmonious and not discordant and
warning. In view of the present I'M
rest in labor circles his remarks are
particularly timely. This extract is
from his speech.
In u complex relation of employ
ed and employer, of one class with an
other class, of one section with anoth-
er section, we car work out a really
successful result only If those interest
ed will get together and make an hon
est effort each while working for his
own interests to avoid working to the
detriment of his neighbor. Wrong is
wrong just as much If it is done by
the little man TO the big man as by the
big mar to the little man-to the cap
italists by the wage worker or the
worker by the capitalist. In the long
run wage workers and capitalists will
go down in common ruin If each does
mo honestly try to get on with justice
to the other and work out a scheme of
action which shall be to their common
advantage"
Never was there truer utterance.
Capital cannot he employed success
fully without the aid of labor, and
labor is dependent upon capital. One
cannot exist without the other. Only
through mutual fairness and justice
can harmonious relations be sus-
tanned. The employee owes no less a
duty to his employer than does the
employer to the employee.

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.

The growth of the rural free deliv-
cry system is extremely rapid. Ten
years ago there was no such thing,
and now there are 14,062 routes that
cost the government twelve million
dollars a year. 1t was not until Feb
ruary 1, 1897, the fo%rty-three routes
were actually established. The first
route led from Charleston, West
Virginia, which at that time was Post
master General Wilson's home. Not
until April l, 1899, was the first postal
wagon placed in operation and shortly
afterwards the country service became
a feature of the system.
Today one-third of the rural popula'
ton of the United States is served
through rural free delivery. The es'
tablished routes now number 1902,
and during the fiscal year beginning
| July / next about 5000 routes will be
added. 1t is proposed to put in use
A 5 1000 routes by the first of January
1906, when two-thlrds of the rura.
population will be served.
1t is hoped that through the freel
use of the mails by people along the
free rural delivery routes the annual
deficit of the ~postofice will disappear
Year by year the farmers along a free
delivery route write more letters, re
ceive more papers and cash more
money orders. The rate of increase il
steady and in the course of ten years
it will lead to fine results in the serv
ice.
