AN INDUSTRY FOR NEVADA.

The press dispatches of last week an
nounced that q series OF highly success
full experiments have just been conclud-
ed In the East, in manufacturing paper
ont of cotton stalks and fax fibre, the
latter proving to be the best adapted for
the purpose. At the present time the
bulk of the paper used in the country ID
made from spruce and hemlock trees,
and when it il considered that one New
York newspaper alone consumes the trees
from ten acres Of ground every day, it is
not difficult to ioresee the day when wood
for paper will be ont Of the question.
From time to time many efforts have
been made in the line of adapting some
other material to this purpose. Some
varieties OF sea weed have beeu found
excellent, but the supply 10 not certain
and the available supply is limited. The
discovery that the fibre from the stalk Of
fax, however, il certainly . most import
ant one, and one which opens up . new
field for Nevada, says the News.
The growing of fax, under favorable
market conditions, affords one of the
most profitable crops suitable for the
farms Of Nevada and other Of the arid
Western States.
In the first place fax will thrive 10
soil Of rather inferior quality for ordinary
farm use. It 10 not stunted or killed by
Q reasonable amount Of alkali. which
permestss nearly ell Nevada soils and
makes them totally unfit for many plants.
Flax viii endure considerable water for .
short time, % flooding il not attended
with serious results to the crop, II not
sustained, and on the other hand it will
thrive during seasons when water is
limited. In this respect it il harder
than alfalfa, which 10 80 successfully
grown in the State.
After cutting. it 10 threshed in manner
similar 10 wheat or oats. and the thresh-
ing machines will require alienation
only in the size OF the screens. The seed
or grain is passed between rollers which
extract the oil, In which they are very
rich. This oil brings . good price in the
market, and San Francisco will consume
all that Nevada can supply.
The material left after the oil Is extract
ed from the seed is the we'll known ''oil
cake" which 10 richer In food supply for
stock than is any of the cereals ordinar-
lily harvested for that purpose. "Oil
cake" will fatten stock when nothing
else will and 10 easily marketed in any
part Of the country.
The straw, which is now all that we
have left on hand, makes splendid food
for cattle. and for this purpose will not be
injured to the slightest extent by the
removal Of the fibre which lies 9 the
centre Of the stalk.
Thus q crop OF fax will yield four mar
ketable products. and certainly offers
possibilities worthy Of the earnest con-
sideration OF the land owners of Nevada.

THE LARGEST SCHOOL FUND.
where Nevada Ranks First In Sister
hood Of States.

Nevada in proportion to population,
has the largest school fund Of any Of the
States, says the Ogden Standard. There
is now in the treasury Of that common
wealth 1882 900. the greatest part Of
which is school money. This sum ID
equivalent to q per capita Of nearly $40,
or q third more than the per capita
wealth in money of the entire United
States.
When Nevada was highly prosperous,
and the mines Of Virginia City, Austin,
Eureka and Hamilton were producing
millions in gold, silver and lead, there
were public men thoughtful enough to
obtain legislation imposing a bullion tar
which was set aside for q school fund, and
in addition, sales from State school lands
swelled the total to be applied to educa-
ton, with the result that the creates,
school treasury in the country was OBJ
tanned, most OF the money being invested
in Government and State bonds.
Whatever may be said in derogation Of
the politicians Of our neighbors, certain
it is that in legislating for the intellectual
advancement Of their children, they
have shown a high degree of common
n and set IN example which might
De emulated to advantage by other Sec
tons of the country.

Don't jump up the first thing your yes

the vital organs are NJ rest, The vitality
Ia lowered and the circulation not so strong.
A sudden spring out OF bed Is a shock TO these
organs, especially to the heart, as il starts

Take your time in getting mp Iawn and

HEALTH OF THE ARMY.
Negroes and FilipinOs Have Greater Per-
centake of Sickness and Mortality.

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Some very in
teresting information concerning the health
of the army is contained in the annual
report Of Brig Gen. Robert NJ o Reilly.
the Surgeon-General Of the army, which
has just been made public by the War
Department
The comparative effects Of disease upon
negro and Filipino troops are reviewed
at some length by the General, who shows
that the death rate among the American
negroes and among the native Filipinos
was nearly 90 per cent. greater than among
the white troops. The negroes had the
greatest percentage of sickness and NOR
tally. although the troops Of Malay blood
closely approached them.
For the whole army at home and abroad
during the year covered by the report,
the white troops showed a hospital ad-
mission rate of IL .o8 per 900, and death
rate Of l4.40 The negro troops had 1881
admissions per 900, and PAIL deaths per
I, 900; and the Malay scouts had l7yO7 admis-
sions and 24.04 deaths.
Asiatic cholera, which caused 4.72 cases
and 2.s3 deaths in each thousand among
tbs white soldiers in the army, showed
1858 cases and 1895 deaths per thousand In
the negro regiments, and 10 81 cases and 10.1s
deaths per thousand for the Filipino troops
Gen. O'Reilly says that when allowance
ia made for the large number Of white sol.
diers in the United States, and not ex'
posed to cholera, the rates for the different
races do not differ so greatly.
The one infectious disease, which is
almost entirely confined to the soldiers OF
Malay blood, was beri-beri. Scarcely
known among white troops, slightly more
common among the negroes, it caused an
admission rate among the native scouts
Of 1885 per thousand and a death rate OF
8.6l per thousand, exactly one-quarter OF
their entire mortality for the year.
or alcoholism Gen. O'Reilly says: "The
freedom of the Filipino from the vice OF
drunkenness is strikingly shown when we
find that out Of 5000 men only three indi-
viduals were treated for alcoholism In one
year, and that while white soldiers were
admitted to sick report on account Of their
own misconduct in the use Of alcohol at
the rate 24.7s per thousand, and negro
troops at the rate Of 40, the Malay scouts
showed the extremely small admission rate
of O.62 per thousand
In the fiscal year ending June 30, 1908
only twenty soldiers fell in action. There
were thirty-one suicides and twelve homi-
cides.
OF every thousand men accepted for en-.
listment 1871 O5 were born in the United
States, "a TO in British territory, 4225 in
Germany, and $40 in Norway and Sweden.

last night while that train was going at the

THE BIBLE IN THE SCHOOLS.
Archbishop Elder Says the True Plan Is
to separate schools for Catholics.

CINCINNATI. Oct. s.-Archbishop William
Henry Elder of this city, who is the
oldest Archbishop of the Catholic Church
in this country, in speaking to-day on the
subject of reading the Bible in the public
schools, said.
"The talk about reading the Bible is,
with many, more than shit bolath. sort
of electioneerng devic, We believe in
reading the Bible. but that is not all Of
religion"
What plan, then, would reconcile the
two systems, satisfy the Church, and yet
not violate what is called the American
idea ?" he was asked.
Il would say this Take for instance any
ward in the citv. There are one or more
schools in it. Now one plan would be to
let the parents of the ma jority of the pupils
in the school decide the nature and ex-
tent of the religious instruction that would
be given in it. While this plan would be
better than the present it would be only
an approximation to the correct plan
The true method. ii seems to me- would he
to have a school where Catholics could
go exclusively Then. if there be airy
other sect that feels as strongly on ibis
matter as we, there could be a school for
them"

Special Cable Despatch to THE s

Specid! Cable Despatch to THE SUN.
LONDON, Oct. SIN the course OF short
speech to the Unionists Of Cupar this after.
moan Joseph Chamberlain said no one more
than himself had benefited by the con-
sideration and support Of the working
classes Of Great Britain. Without them
ne could have done nothing; with them he
had been able to accomplish considerable
work.
He hoped that the present undertaking
toward the close at any rate Of his political
life, would have from the working classes
the same support and confidence he had
enjoyed before.
Upon the right solution Of the great
question he had raised depended what
was. after all. the first and greatest inter-
est OF the workingman. That was the
continuance Of his employment.
Without a change he foresaw that the
workingmen would have to decide bet ween
working for insufficient wages and leav-
ing the country for other shores.
