Senator Eyarts once unwittingly
gave deep oGense to bluff Senator
Beck. He was discussing the latter's
bill forbidding members OF congress tc
practice before the supreme court, and
having occasion to refer to lawyers
whose practice was limited to special
ties and who never had occasion to ap.
pear before the highest judicial tribu.
nal in the land, he called them '.unliat
erar" lawyers.
The professional dignity of Senator
Beck was wounded. He had been fair
ly successful at the bar in Kentucky
but he had early laid aside the law fol
politics, and there were ever some Of
his colleagues who did not know be
was a lawyer. Daniel O'Connell's war
of epithets with the isherwoman In
which he finally triumphed by calling
her a "contumelious parallelopipedoh'
was nothing to the Scotch epitheis
which Senator Beck began hurting AZ
Senator Evarts. He finally satisfied
his wounded amour propre by assuring
the senate that q unilateral lawyer In
Kentucky was more respected than II
quadrilateral pettifogger In New York.
Senator Eyarts had not been In the
senate long enough then to understand
Senator Beck's peculiarities. but h
finally succeeded in pacifying the
sturdy Kentuckian, and their relations
became quite kindly.

Within the next two or three
years will see Nevada having the
most prosperous times she has ever
known. With a climate and soil
that will raise anything that will
grow In the middle West, there
will be a big demand for Nevada
land Just as soon as the Govern
ment reservoirs and canals are
completed. We now raise 10000
head of the finest beef. 10000
mutton sheep, 100000 tons of al
falfa and many thousand tons of
grain, potatoes, apples, honey,
wool ETC., every year. But just
think what Nevada will be when
we have 100000 acres of land
under cultivation producing two
or three crops per year instead of
the three or four thousand acres
which we have at present. And
then there are our rich gold mines
yielding millions and promising to
break all records of gold produce
ton. In a few more years Ne
vada will be the banner state of
all this great and glorious West.
W. have all the raw materials Of
wealth and millions of acres of
fertile lands. Ii there was a wall
100 feet high aud 80 feet thick
built around our every boundary
we couldn't keep the people out
who are coming here to make
homes and profit from our mines
Little is known OF Nevada now,
but she will be widely known in
the near future. Her climate is
perfect her mines are fabulously
rich and her agricultural products
cannot be excelled.-Ex.

BOYNTON CRAFT
INVESTIGATION
RepOtred Member of Dawes
Commission Owned Lots.

Tie Kansas City journal prints q
sensational Washington story Of al
legged crookedness In a Creek townslte
case, as follows:
The Finley and other interests hi
the Boynton towusite squabble have
been denied further time IN which 70
introduce further testimony bearing
on tie Creek townsite controversy.
Not long ago an extension Of fifteen
days was allowed by the Interior de-
partment for this purpose. but upon
failure Of the Interested parties to
take advantage Of the courtesy, Sec
retary Hitchcock has requested that
the case be taken UP and disposed OF
as soon as possible
The case Is important for tie reason
that it involves questions that have
been up time and again, but never def.
nItely settled by the Interior depart
ment. Several other phases have
added 70 the interest Of tile matter,
most important: The report that
Chairman Bixby, Of the Dawes com.
mission, was a holder Of fifteen lots in
the place, and that 1t was with much
ldiniculty he succeeded Ia getting from
the commission a unanimous report II
favor OF a government towilsite al
this point.
All the more amazing Is this storl
when one considers the reported au
thorlty for the above statement Il
is difficult TO conceive that a brothe
commissioner uttered such words, bui
such is a fact II information receive,
az the Indian Office is reliable.
That the first report Of the Dave
commission stood two to one agains
