The most complete investigation
ever made in Massachusetts, as re-
CARDS the number of persons en-
ployed and unemployed during a
specified time, shows that during
the last State census year the num-
Der of continuously unemployed
was found to be 1885, or o.oo per
cent. of those employed in pro-
ductive industries in the State.
This is one idle person for about
every 400 in the State, and when
illness and incapacity and the in
evitable good-fornaught are con-
sidered it is evident that every
we'll and worthy person in Mass
achusetts is employed, thanks to
the continued success of Dingley-

Lack OF 1t Acting as a Handicap to Securing
COlOnists for Nevada.

The Reno Gazette of a few days
ago says that Mr. Levins stopped
In Keno one day last week, en-
route to Lakeview, Oregon. Mr..
Lev1ns makes a business of select
ing land for colonists in this vest
ern country and he is very favor
ably impressed with what little he
has seen of Nevada. He was re-
ferred to ]. M. Fulton and in
short time Mr. Fulton convinced
him that Nevada was one of the
most prosperous States in the
Union. The fact was developed
during the conversation that there
is no reliable source for an outsider
to go and obtain information about
land that is in the market. Mr..
Fulton suggested that a depart
ment be established in the Cham
Der of Commerce where property
for sale could be listed with a
minute description attached, giving
full particulars as to the soil, water
rights and location.
The deficiency in advertising
was brought out forcibly in Mr..
Levin's case. He is here looking
for homes for good people who are
ambitious to get into a growing
country, but he was unable to
meet the people who have farm
property for sale, SO he continued
on to Oregon.
There is absolutely no literature
published about Nevada and her
resources, and as far as can be
learned, pamphlet now being
compiled by ]. M. Fulton, division
passenger and freight agent, is the
only effort being made to adver-
tise the State

Where the Sun Pumps Water.

In outward appearance the solar
motor-for that is its name-par-
takes of some of the characteristics
of a windmill, a steam engine, a
mirror maze and merry -go-round.
1t is in shape like a section of a
huge umbrella of very substantial
construction, having a diameter of
thirty-three feet at its widest part
and of fifteen feet at its narroweSt.
The whole inside surface of the
solar motor now being operated at
Pasadena, California, is covered
with mirrors, each two feet long
bv three and half inches wide.
Nearly two thousand of these long,
narrow mirrors catch the sun $
rays and reflect their heat upon a
slim boiler, which is just where
the handle of the umbrella would
be. The great reflector is set like
an astronomical telescope, the axis
being north and south, and the
movement from east to west. 1t is
so nicely adjusted that one person
can easily move it in either di-
rection. The boiler is thirteen
and half feet long and holds one
hundred gallons of water, with
eight cubic feet of steam space to
spare. 1t is made of fire-box steel
covered with lampblack. When
the reflector is not working the
boiler is quite inconspicuous, but
when the concentrated heat from
the mirrors is focused on 1t, 1t
CLEANS like polished silver and is
the most striking feature of the
contrivance. In little while it
becomes so hot that stick held
against it smokes and bursts into
fame. In about an hour steam is
generated and is conveyed from
the head of the boiler through a
flexible metal pipe to the cylinder
of the steam engine, being there
after used in the ordinary manner.

Big Placer Proposition.

Frank Everett has gang of
men employed building a road to
the East Fork places mines, on the
Carson River, says the Appeal. He
will soon commence the construc-
ton of large ditch nearly mile
long and will employ large num-
Der of men. The experts sent here
by Mr.. Everett's company to ex-
anime the mines state that they
are more than pleased with the re-
suits obtained from tests of the
ground. 1t is reported that the
company will put in a $4,000
plant this Summer to wash and

An Important Real Estate Deal.

One of the most important real
estate transactions to this section
of the State occurred last week,
says the Gardnerville Record. The
Californian Nevada Land and Cat
tie Company, Dakota corporation,
has purchased of l. Cohn his AL
pine property, consisting of sew
eral thousand acres of grazing
land, as well as the property in
Smith Valley known as the Wy
more ranch. The company is capi-
talized at half million dollars and
will make extensive improvements
on the latter property including a
pipe line to replace the present
ditch. They will then put under
cultivation every available acre.
While Mr.. Cohn will look after
the company's interests, Mr.. c. A.
Andrews will be acting superin-
tendent.

A Most Liberal Offer.

All our farmer readers should take
advantage of the unprecedented club
bling offer we this year make, which
includes with this paper The Iowa
Homestead, its Special Farmers In
stitute Editions and The Poultry Farm
er. These three publications are the
best of their class and should be in
every farm home. To them we add,
for local, county and general news,
our own paper, and make the price of
the four one year only Sl.50. Never
before was so much superior reading
matter offered for so small an amount
of money. The three papers named,
which we club with our own, are well
known throughout the west, and COM
mend themselves to the readers favor
able attention upon mere mention.
The Iowa Homestead is the great ag-
ricultural and live stock paper of the
west; The Poultry Farmer is the most
practical poultry paper for the farmer,
while The Special Farmers Institute
Editions are the most practical publ
cations for the promotion of good
I farming ever published. Take advan-
tage OF this great offer, as it will hold
good for short time only. Samples
OF these papers may be examined By
calling at this Office. 2w2l

Merchants Buyers Association.

The local page of the daily Sioux
City Journal noticed the presence in
that city last week of the Northwestern
Iowa Buyers Association of dry goods
merchants where it met representatives
of the eastern wholesale houses for
the purpose of buying their summer
stocks of goods. The association has
been in existence three years. 1t is
composed OF the following merchants:
j. F. Russell, Audubon; F. A. Lusk,
OF Lusk < Davis, Ida Grove; f. F.
Broders, of Croders & Tagge, Hartley;
f. L. Tiede, Belmond; J. 0. Birdsall,
Spencer; l.. N, Haskins, of l.. w.
Foster & Co., Harlan; A. NJ. Foster,
of Foster & Foster, Storm Lake; A. NJ.
johnson, Spirit Lake; G. NJ. Kirby, OF
the Ringgold Mercantile company, Mt.
Ayr; f. A. Fehhman, Glidden.
This method of buying is more salts
factory to the merchants than waiting
for the statesmen to come singly to the
stores. They have the chance to see
larger lines of samples than can be
taken to other towns. The association
had ten days session at Sioux City.
II has heretofore met in Des Moines,
but as Sioux City is more accessible
to the members, ii met there this time.

Assessors Meet.

The assessors of the county held
their congress or meeting at the Aud
itor's Office Tuesday and received their
supplies and instructions and are now
doubtless on their respective war paths
in the several townships. They strike
one as being pretty solid set of fell
lows. DOC" Stearns is the father of
the congress, having been in continu-
Gus service as assessor of Leroy town
ship for length of time beyond which
the mind of the old settler runneth
not back to the contrary, or as Sherm
Myers is wont to say, since the
morning stars sang together. II this
seems like exaggeration, however, the
records bear witness that he has been
assessor for fifteen years, and his
constituents continue to ask for him
again. Their repeated endorsements
are tribute to him. The assessor
were all present Tuesday. Their
names all appear in the proceedings
OF the board of supervisors this week
except the town assessors who are
Geo. w. Ellis, Audubon; Chef Dustin,
Gray; J. p. Lair, Extra and H. w.
Wattles, Brayton. Among their in
structions this year from the executive
council Of the state is that they must
assess property at its actual value.
