Some years ago, when there were no
buildings on what was known as AL
lyn's field. Nathan F. Houston offered
to buy the property and hold it until
the city was able to take it for public
park. He would then sell it at the
price paid, with the amount of
taxes added Had this liberal offer
been accepted the city would have had
a park in most desirable location,
some twenty or more acres in extent,
fronting on Northport avenue and ex-
tending to the shore of the bay. Trees
set out then would have afforded ample
shade now, and the city would have had
a recreation ground of which it might
we'll feel proud. But it is no use now
to deplore what might have been. Half
A loaf is better than no bread, and if the
larger area is no longer available,
should we not secure the seven acres
offered at what under the circumstan-
ces must be considered a fair price.

There is something about a process
sion of red shirted, helmeted young
men that calls for all the enthusiasm
a man is capable of.
The soldier has a mission of carnage
and devastation. The fire laddy's is
to save human life and protect prop
erty. This duty calls him to scale
ladders to dizzy heights, venture under
falling walls and face death in its
most fearful form.
The laurels bestowed upon the vol
unteer fireman does not repay him for
his services, nor provide for his loved
ones if duty calls him to death.
The bill before the Idaho legislature
may or may not be a wise method
of providing for the volunteers, but it
evidences a desire to better the con-
dition of these self-sacrificing public
servants

several other who procured gun and
corralled the animal in the Judges

merry time with the feathery flock.
There were hens AMI roosters scat

in the neighborhood was mixed with
a cloud of feathers and giblets.
The hunters, having locked the hem

of big game stalkers. to the window.

SAYS THERE'S
NO DANGER
Goodwin's Weekly Not Afraid of
Salt Lake Dry
ing Up

Goodwin's Weekly, in discussing the
widely published report that Great
Salt lake will before many years be
nothing but dry white spot in the
middle of the desert, says: "The great
shrinkage of Salt Lake has set many a
pen going. Some are predicting that
the famous lake will soon disappear
altogether.
We see no occasion for the fear. The
fall of the lake is, no doubt, mostly
due to evaporation. When mild wint-
ers come and there is little precipita-
ton of moisture, the lake not only
does not receive its usual reinforce
ment from the streams that flow into
it. but the atmosphere over all this
great basin between the Sierras and
Rockies becomes so dry that every
wind blowing across the lake brings
air that is SO thirsty that it absorbx
vast quantities of moisture from the
lake.
One or two heavy winters, with great
precipitation, will fill the lake, and SO
charge the air with moisture that it
will no longer exhaust the lake n pass
| ing over it," .--

FROZEN PIPES
CAUSED IT
An Explosion This Morning In
jures Three Winnemucca
People Seriously

At 11o'clock this morning the loud
detonation of an explosion of some
sort was heard on Third street. Neigh
bcrs focked to the scene and found
the accident had taken place in the
home of R. A. DELPHI.
Mr.. DELPHI and family returned to
Winnemucca this morning after sew
eral days absence and on entering the
house kindled a roaring fire in the
kitchen stove. The reservoir tank
and one of the pipes were frozen so
that the accumulated steam tore the
pipes and stove into fragments.
Mr.. and Mrs. DELPHI and three lit
tie children were all seriously burned
and scalded. DR.. Samuels treated
their injuries.

CATTLE MEN
VS.. SHEEP MEN
, r;oht to the Finish in the Leg
islature of the State OF
Nevada

rvsry session of the Legislature
,.;,gs out the same old fight between
the cattlemen and sheepmen. In the
assembly a measure has been intro
aueed to prevent the pasturing of
.bsep within three miles of a ranch
r residence. 9l y 9a1 -
This is being fought by the sheep
men who claim that 1t is a measure
in favor of the cattlemen. From the
snap vote taken in the Assembly, it
seems that the sheepmen will be
downed. In the Senate there is likely
10 be reverse order, as several men,
hers are interested in the sheep in
dustry. When the bill comes before
that body there will be great bat
tle as about as many cattle men are
represented.
The cattlemen claim that the sheep
men are intruding on the lands that
should go to the cattle for range, and
the sheepmen assert that the cattle
men want the entire earth to range
on. Jus how the fight will come out
Is hard to say, but the complexion of
the Senate looks favorable to the sheep
men, says the Appeal. -.

LONG SUFFERING
is PARADISE
Alleged Witicisms are Directed
Toward This inoffensive and
Charming Valley

Whenever the rural press of Nevada.
by which is meant all papers publish
ed outside of Tuscarora, is short OF
copy, has mislaid scissors or runs out
of paste, it fills up hole with an al
legged witticism about Paradise, our
Paradise, Humboldt's pretty village
and productive valley. The satiricai
editor jumps on an item like this:
Selling whisky to Indians is com
mon offense in Paradise" H.
How he adores his genius as he
comments on the unwisdom of the
Silver State in admitting that Indians
and booze were left in Paradise after
Lucifer was shown the down tho
canyon" route. ....t. ~. ........
Another wiseacre OF the Nevada
press sees mention of a wedding In
Paradise published in this paper. 49,
He rubs the gall of his pen, dips it
in saccharine roller composition ana
chortles as he writes:
"The Silver State tells of wedding
in Paradise. We are taught by the
Good Book that there is neither mar
riage nor giving in marriage there"
The foregoing imbecility is only
matched by the alleged wltti3isms that
followed the Silver States announce
ment that there would soon be .
Catholic Church in Paradise.
That is all right Revenge is at
hand. In a few days this paper will
have something to say about a sui
phur deposit out Paradise way.
When the Nevada editors get a
chance to run "hell fire and brim-
stone" commentary they will laugh
themselves to death over their jokes
and will then cease from troubling and
their readers will be at rest.

A Little Chilly

UP In Alaska they are complaining
of IL degrees below zero. Sevaral
Winnemuccans are planning to spend
next winter at Circle City in order to
nnjoy the mildness Of that sub-Artic
CLINE.
This morning the thermometers reg
istered anywhere from 20 to rs degrees
below zero, while the report comes
from Halleck that it was 40 degrees
below there. The remarkable feature
of this intense cold is that we don't
feel extra chilly until we look at
thermometer T-e lack of humidity
makes the frost exhilirating, stimu-
ates the circulation of the blood and
makes the cold less felt than ten de-
gress above freezing in a California
fog.

Newport Association Not Likely 10 Hold

NEWPORT. r. l.. April 1T begins to 90 K
as II the Newport Yacht Racing Associat ION
would not hold any races this season for the
9o-foot sloops. but no reason for this II given.
One OF the Officers Of tn association who was

been arranged and he did not think that any
would be.
Two yenrs ago the Newport association
figured largely In the races betwee the big

that the lawson boat Independence had an
opportunity TO meet the Columbia and Con-
stitution. Why the association has aban-
doned this class this year is a matter OF much
speculnt ion.
II Is probable that the association will hold
its annual regatta for all classes. but y Is not
now thought that the big sloops will race
The association is in a prosperous condition
and, although there are rumor~ Of friction be-
tween its members and the New'York Yacht
Club. such is denied by members OF both or.
CARNATIONS. As the regatta committee OF
the New York Yacht Club has arranged for
all the races for the big sloops. IL Is believed
that the local association does not think that
additional races will be necessary, especially
as majority Of the races are to be held on
Newport.
