CARNIVAL
Virginia City Is To Have
The HOn0rS

The people of Carson have decided
that Virginia City has the call for the
glorious Fourth this year. The meeting
of r. 5oG1.f evening decided the maj
ter fer all time as those who believed
in the Carson Carnival for this year
passed the subject and adjourned with
the intent and decision of going to the
Comstock on the big day and helping
the neighbors on the hill celebrate.
In the meantime the Comstockers
have not been idle; on the contrary,
they have rustled up goodly sum to
fortify the visitors with novelties and
good time. The plans are not given to
the world, as they are to be novelties
and intended to interest the people
eventful day.
Last evening the Appeal received
business letter from the Comstock 1t
was addressed en- an envelope carrying
the red, white and blue and the an
nouncement that Virginia City was to
hold a Carnival on the ID, Sd and 4th
of July Some of the novelties were
included in the envelope, but as all of
Carson is to be there, it will find the
game worth the waiting to see.
Now that the matter is peacefully
arranged, Carson should boost the
show on the hill for all that it is worth
1t is the first time that Carson na s
ever had a chance to reciprOcate. For
years Carson was the summer picnic
ground for the people of the Comstock
and it is safe to say that the amount
of bullion spent by the ComstCcie:s
sent the bullion output of gold mine.
The mere fact that Virginia City is
built on the size of q hill does not mar
the possibilities Of a Carnival, in fact,
many novelties can lie introduced that
would not work in any ether city on
earth.
The Ccmstcckers Will give the pco-
pie 4 show worth going to and Carson
can Go no better than Join the process
sion and help the good time along.

PRESIDENT
His Coming Keeps The Gem

Since Carson has decided to pas
The Carnival business over to Virginia
City, and at the same time lend assis-
lance to the pleasure week, the re-
ception of the President will occupy
the citizens attention The time is
drawing near to make arrangements
for the entertainment of the Nations
chief executive.
Since the appointment of the various
committees that have the different
branches of work in hand, there has
been no public meetings. The reason
CT this is that the committees have
managed to arrange every detail of the
program to the satisfaction of every
one concerned There is still plenty OF
work ahead of the committees, and in
fact, the individuals OF this city. A
program is sent ahead to the Presi
maps out the order Of march, the
number CT carriages intended for the
Presidential party and theinstructions
that are to be followed for safety.
! Committees have these instructions
at hand, and they will be followed to
the letter
BY this tine next week the people
of this city will have to making a move
for the first end Of the program.
! The streets will have to be cleaned
and the houses along the line OF march
decorated. Some idea Ct the arrange
ments IN other cities can be cleaned
from the dispatches that are read IL
the big dailies. Carson will endeaFor
to DO as we'll as ether cities, but the
details Ct the program will have to
be cut down to meet the conditions Of
the city.

Yesterday morning party consist
ing of Messrs. Dickson. Lawson, Pen
ny and Hinkey arrived from the East
ern States and registered at the
Briggs. These gentlemen are the par
ties interested in the new project to
place mines along the banks of the
Carson river, at a point known as
Horseshoe Bend Later in the day the
party departed for the scene of OPP
Grafton.
This project, if a success, as every
one hopes it will be, will result in one
of the largest mining ventures in this
section The company has acquired
nearly twenty miles OF placer ground
along the river. For many years small
sums of gold dust have been eZtrac-
ted, but on account of the light Char
acter of the gold, most of it was lost
in the washing The new company
has perfected washing machine, that
it is stated, will over come this de-
feet. Mr. Everett claims that the test
made Reno last season demonstrated
that the plans and machinery being
installed will d o the work.
The gentlemen that arrived are a
Jolly lot and while they are strictly
business, yet they have time to enjoy
few minutes outside Of business
They expect to be gone several days
and will return to this city, where
they will take up headquarters fol
some time, or until the machinery is
installed.

Gals which the society has issued is
more than 255, 100000.
This vast publication enterprise is
remarkable not only for the volume
Of it's output but for the variety and
character Of the books and papers
which come from its presses. Among
the home publications are works in
twenty foreign languages. These are
In German, French, Spanish, Portu-

wegian, Danish, Swedish, Hungarian,
Finnish, Bohemian, Polish, Armenian,
German-Hebrew, Lithuanian, Croar

the issuing of literature to the people
of other lands the. society goes even
further than this. It prints books
and pamphlets in tongues that have
never been written before. In West
ern Africa is barbarous tribe, the

Of it's own. The Christian missionar-
les among these people have record
ed the native sounds in English let-

have learned to write. And in this

War Strength of United States.
The Placing OF Eleven Million Men in the Field Would Be
Task OF No Great Magnitude for Uncle Sam the Mecca
sity Should Ar1se-An Unequa1ed Showing

Eleven millions of intelligent, cour-
ageous men. That is the military
strength of the United States at the
present time.
With the enactment of the new
National Guard law the country, dur
ing term of peace, is placed on a
Stronger military footing than ever
before in it's history. Some idea of
the immensity Of this force can be
appreciated when it is realized that
this number would make eleven arm
les as large as that magnificent host
OF seasoned veterans under the COM
mand of Grant at the close of the war
between the states.
European nations may well ponder
over the significant fact that in the
t"inkling of an eye Uncle Sam could
place an army in the field which
could not be duplicated, and which
would challenge the admiration of the
civilized world. While the idea Of a
large standing army is repugnant to
the American mind, it is true, never
theless, that the United States has
approached nearer to standing
army than ever before. It is prepar-
ed to defend the Monroe doctrine. the
maintenance of which many leading
statesmen believe will precipitate the
next war. Under the new law this
vast army thoroughly armed and
equipped and trained for the serious
business Of war can be mustered

almost instantly. At present the
naval force of the United States is
exceeded only by that of Great Brit.
ain and France
According to the recent reports of
the adjutant-generals of the states to
the Secretary of War the exact avail
able strength st the United States Is
10,S53,396. OF the number, 118,259
are organized. The regular army con-
sists OF 35,O 900 men. Thus there are
153,259 men actually under arms, and
this force forms nucleus which is
susceptible of indefinite expansion.
A thorough understanding of the
excellent military position of the
United States will be had when It is
known that the new law provides for
equipping the National Guard with
modern arms; for practice marches;
for field maneuvers with the regular
troops; for target practice; for the
same formation and tactics now in
force in the regular establishment,
and for generous appropriations to
be expended in carrying the new law
into effect. Wonders are expected of
it and the mistakes of the Spanish
war will be avoided. The laws pro-
viding for rotation in the staff de-
partments and the new general
staff of the army will also con-
tribute largely toward bringing about
these excellent results-Washingto

The natives of Venezuela and ad-

to care for their poultry, and also in
the place of collies or shepherd dogs
used by North Americans and Euro

which the Indians call yakamik, is
found in wild state in the great for
ests that lie between the northern
coasts Of South America and the ANA
zon river, particularly in Venezuela
and British Guiana
The yakamiks are very readily
tanned, and prove valuable servants to
the Indians, who domesticate them,
and as they are courageous and will
protect animals intrusted to their care
at every risk to themselves, even dogs
are obliged to yield to their authority.

contain a lecture room, sheep Judging
auditorium, library of sheep literature
and a. Seth Adams Memorial room in
one part, with wool rooms, shearing
room, dipping room, hospital and feed
ing paddocks in another part, the lat
ter. to. be connected with the farm
fields. This building may be used free

Ohio in annual or special sessions.
Ohio sheep breedrs are asked to con-
tribute 1 cent per sheep toward the
cost of erecting this building.
