Nevada Misses A Rare Opportunity.

Editor journal: Nevada, with five
other States and Territories, has
failed this year to secure one of those
valuable and honorable Rhodes
scholarships. 1t is thing to be re-
GREETED if not ashamed of, for the
State misses the honor and the
stimulus that always come with the
crowning of any of her children with
honorable distinction "If one men,
Der be honored, all the members re-
joice with it,
1t is hoped that the future will chal-
lenge the pride as well as the self
interest of our young men, so that
it shall never be impossible again to
return the customary answer to the
question that we love to raise and
answer, "Whats the matter with
Nevada? She's all right! If we fail
again, questions will justly be raised
about the quality of the brains we
carry in our heads. 1t will be asked,
Hasn't Nevada the sense to know
good thing when she sees it, or,
knowing it hasn't she the sense TO 60
after it and get it?
Do our young men know what is
offered them? The honor and dignity
of a three years scholarship at Oxford
University and its stimulating inter-
course with minds as fine as can be
found in the Anglo-Saxon race. Fif-
teen hundred dollars year is given
to becomingly maintain the honor of
so splendid position. What will it
cost our young men to twin out?' A
stiffish tussle with bit of Latin and
Greek and mathematics, themselves
the basis, so the writer of this believes,
for the finest and most satisfying cul-
ture the world knows.
Have our young men hung up this
picture of magnificent opportunity
in the chambers of their imagery
and gszed upon it until they have
realized its value? Then we may con-
fidently look for successful candidates
through all the coming years.
We must win scholarships for sound
and exact learning as well as cham
pionships for fine and fair athletics
or the word of our doom will go forth:
"Nevada is joined to other idols, foot
ball and bicycling. She has run all to
legs; let her alone"

Secretary Committee of Selection OF
Bhodes Scholarship.

The eNeWNeVddd

In every section of America absolute
dense ignorancei prevails regarding
Nevada. She is called the desert
State. No State in the Union has
been more unjustly misrepresented
than Nevada. 1t is our fault. We do
not advertise her resources. Our
papers are so excitedly engaged in
politics for revenue and the jealousies
of petty quarrels that they have no
time to advertise Nevada There is
no revenue in it they say. In this
great question of State building we
have many things to learn and much
patriotic and unpaid duty to perform,
but the future of Nevada is resplend-
ent with promise. Her growth is in
evitable and slowly we will learn the
lesson we need. Every man is the
master of his own fortune. So every
community is master of its future.
We will have one hunderd thousand
people in Nevada in three years, one
hundred and twenty-five thousand is
probable, and a hundred and fifty
thousand is possible. 1t is not in
South Africa that the talents of our
boys will find the greatest field of en-
deavor but in Nevada. 1t is not in
the Klondike that our ambitious citi-
zens can acquire wealth, but in Ne
vada. 1t is not in California that our
farmers can buy happy homes, but in
Nevada. 1t is not in the Philippines
that capital will get her greatest re-
ward, but in Nevada. Nevada with
billion produced has yet billion un-
produced in her mines Nevada with
two hundred thousand acres in farms
has yet twenty million acres to re-
claim. Nevada with forty thousand
population has yet room for four
hundred thousand population and in
the future there will rise a rich, ia
nous, glorious State.-Ledger.

Opportunity.

One often hears young men lament
that they did not live in the golden
days of 40; that the present has no
opportunities for young men COM
mensurate with those halcyon days of
the Argonauts. Such is not the case.
The day of Opportunity is today, if it
ever existed in the country. There is
a better chance to get on in the world
now than ever before. True, the WAYS
of moneymaking change, but the OPP
portunitiss still remain and are con-
stantly widening into new channels.
Fortunes are made by young men in
mines today as they were in the gold
en- days. Tonopah and Goldfield are
examples of where dozens of young
men have become wealthy, literally,
in one day. And there are lots of OPP
portunities yet to be had in the New
FL Dorado. When one seeks Fortune
in the mines he must go with the un-
derstanding that he courts fickel god
dess who may and likely will pass him
by for someone else. Such was what
most of the Argonauts of '49 encount-
cred, and such today are the un-
certainties of mining. Nevertheless
the young man who equips himself for
that calling and persues it with judg-
ment and discretion is not likely to
fail.-Reno Gazette.

His Nose Grew.

A good joke is told on a gentleman
in :neighboring town who had for
some time been troubled with pimples
ON his nose and concluded that it was
time to do something for it. So he
looked around in the pantry and
found bottle of liniment which he
applyed twice day to his nose for
several days. In the meantime his
nose got no better, but instead began
to assume gigantic proportions. At
last he consulted his wife about it and
asked her advice. She asked him
what he had been doing for it and he
said he had been using that liniment
in the pantry. what liniment," she
asked and he got the bottle and show
ed her. "Well, of all the fools, you
do beat ALL" screamed his wife. "That
amt liniment; that is "a bottle of bust
developer that Mary sent to st.
