NEvADA'S OPPORTUNITY


A circular has just been issued
by the Nevada State Board of the
Worlds Fair Commissioners
from which we quote as follows:
IF the time was ever ripe for
Nevada to show to the world its
natural and industrial resources,
of which so little is really known
to the outside world, it has now
presented itself by giving to the
State an opportunity of becoming
an exhibitor at the st. Louis
Worlds Fair. Seeing that it is
impossible for the people from
the diversified sections of the
world to visit this common
wealth, the commonwealth. takes
advantage Of this exposition and
goes to the people of the world.
In order to do this with credit to
ourselves and in such a manner
that the desired results will be
obtained, it is necessary that all
our natural and industrial re-
sources should be thoroughly
exhibited. and in such manner
that every inducement is offered
to the homeseeker and the
capitalist.
In order to carry out the
provisions of an act creating a
Worlds Fair Commission. the
sum of $40. 900 was appropriated
by the laste legislature, 5000 of
which was set aside for the
construction Of a State building.
IS per cent of which is complet-
ed. The remainder Of the appr0-
priation is to be devoted entirely
to classifying, cataloging, collect
ing. and maintaining the exhibit
during the seven months of the
exposition. 1t provides for the
free transportation of all exhibits
to and from the exposition, the
railroad company having agreed
to ship the exhibits free to
Carson, where they will be
properly classified and packed.
A complete and comprehen-
sive history of the State will be
written as well as an exhaustive
article on each entry. thoroughly
illustrated with halftone pic
lures. giving a complete history
of the mines, the amount Of land
under cultivation and its pro-
ducts, the amount of land to be
reclaimed and the great work
being carried on by the State and
the United States government
towards the storage Of our waste
waters, and the livestock and
horticultural interests. This
volume will also contain a
complete catalog of all the
exhibits, thus answering two
purposes" The appeal ends as
follows:
Let us all put our shoulder to
the wheel and see that Nevada's
exhibit stands out in the galaxy
of States as a shining star that
points to a bright and prosperous

When everything was in readiness Pro-
fessor Langley called an assistant to his
side and spoke to him briefly. The
scientist entered the houseboat, and a
moment later Professor Manley appeared.
He was pale, but calm, and wore no
shoes. He said a word Of farewell to
his brothers, shook hands with his fellow
scientists, received an encouraging slap
on the back from Professor Langley, and,
still pale, but not so calm, stepped into
his cramped quarters just in front Of the
frequently tested aluminium motor.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York, Sept. 4.-Since plans for the
Labor day parade here have tended more
and more to make the demonstration a
"vindication" of Sam Parks by the old
board of building trades, some Of the i'm
portant unions have backed out They do
not like the effort to bring Parks into
prominence again by making him grand
marshal.
While the housesmiths' and bridge
mems union seem still to stand by him,
the members Of the other unions who are
sick of the strikes and shutdowns are
bitter toward him.
The following unions in the old board
have decided not to take part in the
parade: Granite Cutters. Journeymen
Stonecutters, Steam and Hot Water Fit
tiers and Helpers the Brotherhood Of Boil
ermakers and the Iron Shipbuilders.
None of the unions of the board Of rep.
resentatives, all of which have signed the
arbitration agreement Of the Employers
association, will join in the parade. These
unions have an aggregate membership OF

been conducted by Editor E. N. Bailey of

The claims varied in amounts from 50
to $3.50, and the subscribers were resi-
dents of Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Texas and Oklahoma.
The bidding on the accounts was brisk
and the, sale attracted many bargain
seekers. The lowest bid that captured
any of the accounts was two matches,
while some Of the claims were bid In at
