Will Eucalyptus Thrive in Nevada1

In it's native home, the eucalyptus
tree reaches n size corresponding with
that of the redwood of California. II
belongs to Tasmania, in the Australian
group, where it attains height of 300
feet and circumference of 80 feet.
The rapidity of its growth is exeep-
tional; in ten'years, from mere twig,
IL reaches 60 feet in the air, with a
girth of from TO 0 feet. The wood is
exceedingly hard, but easily worked,
and has no superior as fuel. II
grows remarkably dense, an acre of
eucalyptus producing more wood than
any other timber known. 1t has shown
its adaptibility TO those parts of Cali
fornia where il has been planted, and
has thrived with vigor. Many years
ago, when the cost of transporting
coal into the southern part of that
State was quite expensive, the growing
of eucalyptus for fuel purposes was
profitable undertaking.
Wood is a serious question in the
economy of parts of Nevada, and with
the passing of time must become more
so. The query arises, could this forest
product be successfully grown in the
more favored sections of the State?
Although indigenous to warm cline,
it is possible that the tree possesses suf-
ticient vigor to withstand the rigors of
our short period of cold each year. If
so, the warm summer and late fall
in the valleys would be n great aid to
its development and stability. II is a
matter worthy of thought, for, as
before remarked, wood costs n great
deal of money in Nevada, and time
can but increase this unavoidable ex-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustaehian Tube. When this tube IS
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infiamed condition of the
mucous services.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness caused by
catarrhl that cannot be cured by Half'
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free

Another Small Reclamation Scheme.

Charley Kinds of Smith Valley is
constructing dam in Red Canyon,
about five miles from his ranch, for the
purpose of storing surplus snow and
spring water for irrigation and stock
watering purposes The dam is started
on bedrock and is now twelve feet
high, twenty-five feet wide and twenty
five feet thick at the base. When
completed, the dam will be much
higher and considerably wider at the
top. II will back water up several
miles in the canyon and make a reser-
voir several acres in extent, with an
average depth of possibly eighteen
feet, II is believed water enough can
be secured this way to irrigate the
ranch in the latter part of the season,
when the water from other sources is
exhausted. Lyon County Times.

Commenting upon this dispatch, a
correspondent writes to the Los Angles
Times as follows:
For answer to this clipping, would
state that in two cases the facts may
be true, but in the first case it will to
most readers seem very, very doubtful.
There is, perhaps, hardly n parallel in
one generation. My wife gave birth
to three pairs of twins, each time n
male and female. Tho first were born
in New York, the second in Little Rock,
and the last in this city, and are now
nearly thirteen years old. Of the six
only four are alive, and each pair
when born weighing sixteen pounds"
