A WARMING.

THERE is a class of people now
arriving in Tcnopah in considerable
number who. for the present, had
better stay away. Many of these are
bound for Goldfield, and the same
advice is offered to them. In both
camps the labor market is overstocked
with miners. carpenters and all kinds
of skilled and unskilled labor. 1t takes
time and capital to develop a quartz
mining camp. Capital is what is
needed now. and Goldfield and Tonopah
are overstocked with men Of all kinds
looking for work, and 1t is hoped (says
the Tonopah Bonanza) that other
journals which rely on Tonopah papers
for their Goldfield news will also do
their part in disseminating this advice.

PLATFORMS:

The Republican party Of Nevada In
State Convention assembled reaffirms
its adherence to the principles OF Re-
publlcanism as expressed in the ma
tional platform and wrought into the
government Of the nation from Abra-
ham Lincoln to Theodore Roosevelt.
The history Of Repubiicanism is the
party's mightiest platform. Endorsing
the nominees Of the national conven-
ton, we affirm that no man In public
or private life In this country Is more
fitted In honesty, daring, uncompro-
missing independence. s~teadfastness In
what he believes to be right and sound
judgement to guide the American peo-
pie In the fulfillment of their destiny
the next four years than Theodore
Roosevelt. the stateman in peace. the
hero in war, the westerner always,
and the Republican nominee for Presi-
dent Of the United States.
We respectfully suggest to the vot-
ers of Nevada that Alton Brooks Par
ker Is too closely allied with the self
fish corporate and moneyed instutl-
lions Of Wall street and the lawless
and predatory monopolistic trusts of
the country qualify him for the dis
charge OF the duties Of the office for
which the Democratic party of the

THE VALUE OF IRRIGATION.

WITH the main canal nearing COM
pletion, the future Of this district grows
brighter. Situated, as we are, at the
gateway of a vast irrigation project.
which will ultimately furnish water for
the reclamation of 235 900 acres Of
rich land. Wadsworth enjoys an en-
viable position. More than 80, 900 acres
of the choicest lands to be found
throughout the entire area to be re-
claimed, lie about and to the north
and west of this town. This land. pro-
perly husbanded, will grow, at least,
$l,5oo 900 worth of products. giving
Wadsworth q greater evenu per
annum than she has ever had. The
main canal. upon which the work Is
almost finished. is 81 miles long, So
feet wide at the top. 81 feet wide at
the bottom and IA feet deep. It will
be capable Of carrying a volume of
l4OO cubic feet of water a second, and
will be capable of irrigating 3oo.ooo
acres.
1t is thought that the above estimate
Of the value Of all crops that can be
produced on lands to be irrigated in
this valley. under the Truckee-C Carson
Irrigation Project. is at least Is per
cent below the possible production.
based upon past records. of the irri-
gated regions having a similar climate
with soils generally inferior. and in no
case superior. in quality.
We shall pursue the subject in a
future issue.

United States Senatorship.

We congratulate the people of Me-
vada upon the awakening of her pros
perity in field and mine. and that the
hour is struck which closes a quarter
Of a century Of State depression. That
the dawn has begun OF a new era
wherein this commonwealth is destined
to take high rank In agriculture. the
industries and mining. New leaders
are called for to represent In Congress
this new spirit of State development.
For the Senate Of the United States
the Republican party presents the
name Of Hon. George S. Nixon, as an
able. true and loyal citizen worthy of
such choice. familiar with and inter-
ested In the varied industries of our
State. and who is the first candidate
for the supreme office presented by a
Nevada convention in the past twenty
years who is a bona fide resident and
citizen Of Nevada, and pledges the
efforts Of the Republican party to use
all honorable means. and the votes Of
its members in the State Legislature
to secure his election.

The Ditch Crimes.

The Government Ditch, as a public
works, has probably no parallel. in this
country, In the history of crime. 1t
has gained notoriety. even as far as
the Golden Gate. as a modern Alsatia,
and in its numerous camps the assassin
seems TO find a safe refuge. Every
month, or less, the body of some un-
fortunate worker is found within its
environs bearing the marks of foul
play. Yet the paid officials of the
public peace eem to show a keener
vigilance in the discovery of the bodies
of victims than in the discovery of the
murderers. Possibly the finding of q
corpse, and the subsequent inquest and
burial, is a better paying job than the
detection OF a criminal. The prompt
ness with which Coroner This or
Coroner That arrived on the scene of
the find. reflects the very highest credit
on the business instincts of these
gentlemen. Of course. the victims of
these outrages are only paupers: that
makes a difference. If the next n
happen to be a substantial citizen. what
a hue and cry will be raised. What a
multiplicity of arrests on suspicion.
About a month ago, at n camp.
a few miles from Wadsworth, checks
were made payable at a certain saloon
near the works. and this den was
infested by a gang Of ruffians who lay
In wait for the decent workman. and

twenty-five years have persistently
urged and fought for irrigation legisla-
ton. and TO the engineers who have
measured Western streams and
threaded the mountains and deserts to
learn the possibilities Of storage and
reclamation we give due and generous
credit and the f~ullness of our gratitude.
But above all we declare that the ring
ing and insistent recommendation Of
Theodore Roosevelt that Congress
consider this subjuct was responsible
for the cristalization OF all theories and
plans into the bills known as the Ma
tional Irrigation Law. which was franz
ed and agreed to by all western Sena-
tors and Congressman and introduced
simultaneously in the Senate and House
and which would have failed In the
House had not Theodore Roosevelt
finally brought his great influence to
bear to secure its passage.
We rejoice in the requirement by the
United States of sufficient Isthmian
territory upon which 10 excavate. con-
struct and operate a commercial canal
between the Atlantic and the Pacific
oceans entirely regulated and controll-
ed by the government of the United
States and which will greatly promote
the industrial development Of all sec
tione If the Pocifie Coast and ua &C
pecially regret that Senator Francis
G. Newlands so far forgot the substan-
tial interests of the State of Nevada as
to interpose his vote In the Senate of
the United States against the ratifica-
ton OF the treaty between the United
States and the Republic of Panama in
a vain attempt to interdict the building
Of such canal.
