Typical. Mining
State.

The case of Nevada is typical.
It looks barren enough to the trans
continental traveller as he sees it
from his flying train. And the
census figures r not encouraging.
Nevertheless Nevada has abund-
ant potentialities and will some day
turn the laugh upon those who
have made it the object of bitter
and ~ceaseless derision. And ir-
rigation is the golden key which
will unlock the door of its really
immense resources. If the good
laws now used for getting lands
for speculation and cattle grazing
shall be repealed by Congress, so
that the government lands a re-
main government lands until they
r irrigated by the government
and turned over to the real home
stoaders, then agriculture in the
West will double and quadruple
and mining and every Western in
dustry will jump forward. The
government work now progressing
SO well along the Truckee river
promises much for Nevada. 1t will
bring farmers to the State and they
will produce food for men and for
age for beasts. Fortunately the
public lands under the Truckee
project have been reserved by the
Secretary of the Interior from n
try under the desert land law and
they can only be taken up under
the ive-year homestead law. All
such lands throughout the West
which Uncle Sam may irrigate
this year, or in the next twenty
FIVE years, should be in effect SO
reserved.
But take the matter of the rich
ore bodies of Nevada. Why do
they lie undeveloped in spite of
the strenuous enterprise so charac-
teristic of our time? Simply be-
cause they are not remote from
civilization. The cost of hauling
supplies in and of hauling the
product out is prohibitory. These
silent districts with their poten-
talities of wealth are waiting for
something to happen. And that
something is irrigation.
The watering OF the lands in
their neighborhood means, first of
all, a permanent population which
may be drawn upou to furnish la
Dor in the development of the mines
Next it means food for men and
teams at prices which will permit
the industry to flourish. Finally,
1t means an irresistible invitation to
the iron horse, for the railroad
ever follows where the forces of
production point the way.-Owens-
boro (Ky.) Messenger.

DIR. GIBBONS IN sKAG WAY


 Skagway, Alaska. March I, 1904.
 Editor 4 F0rHM:-I have been here three days in the worst blizzard ever known in this wind-swept region. Would gladly exchange such weather for the 4rticfty of Rampant.
 l feel that the trip out was bowling success, the chief unpleasant experiences being several days of trail-breaking ill the Flats and facing blizzard, 45 deg. below, near Eagle.
 Overlook MT. Marion at Circle and arrived with him at ;2agle, nineteen days from Rampant. Came on stage from Eagle to Dawson in two days; rested there two days and started south on a bicycle. After two days of good progress a snowstorm put the wheel out of busi- ness, and was not sorry to get on board White Pass stage Arrived in White horse Feb. 25, thirty-three days from Rampant. Came to Skagway next day. The railroad has been blocked ever siuce-the first time this season-and steamer that left Juneau sixty hours ago has not yet reached Skagway.
 Circle City seems dead and is short oi supplies. Dawson looks nearly as bad as Skagway did three years ago, yet I travelled the whole length of Hunker and Dominion creeks, and dumps are being taken out the entire distance. White horse is booming. The copper mines are proving rich and extensive, and great rush is on to the new gold fields 100 miles westward.
 In Skagway, interest is divided be- tween the new gold strike and Seward. The Alaska Central railroad is believed to be af1 assured fact.
 kept up with the mail al! the way out; am in fine health and will go south OH the first boat. c. H. GIBBONS.

TROUBLE WITH
 A HOUSE BOAT

The Calico Rocket says that August Peterson and family moved onto their house boat last week, and on last Monday morn ing started down the river, headed for the Worlds Fair. Unfortunately their gasoline en- zine went dead" below here and when they came to the ferry at Piney they were unable to give the signal for the ferry wire to be lowered, and the entire family had a narrow escape from being drowned.
 A fellow on the bank saw them just in time to try to raise the wire, while a man on the top of the boat made an effort to grab the wire and lift it over. The latter missed his mark and the wire caught on the pilot house. The boat swung around cross wise the river, water began pouring in over the side, and the women sent up a heart-rending scream for help. For an instant it looked as though the entire party were doomed, but in the nick of time the pilot house tore loose and the boat righted up. They landed the boat on an island just below the mouth of Piney, and at last accounts they were camping on the island, waiting for the river to go down.

The Searcy Citizen contains a very eulogistic write-up of one James l.. Graham of Memphis, who has located in that city to practice law. Now if the said James l.. Graham was once the principal of a school at James, town which sold diplomas and skinned outsiders generally by leaving a host of unpaid credit ors; if the said Graham be the IL. D. and manager of the American Teachers Association of Memphis, who last summer foated another fake scheme and bunkoed large number of school teachers, he ought to be written up by the Searcy Citizen as the worst grafter and fakir not clothed in stripes. The James l.. Graham to whom we refer had the necessary nerve for a full-hedged rascal and that he should locate in a community where he may laugh in his sleeve over the easy victims of former schemes should occasion no sur prise.

concert on the streets. III had no more
than nicely started playing when a
rainstorm can,e up, and soon it was
pelting down in fine style. A large
crowd of citizens had assembled to-
listen to the concert and were loath to
leave their posts for little rain. The
band, seeing that its audience did not
offer to move, did not wish to disap-
point them bv disseminating the mu-
sic, so they stood their ground and
during the dOwnpOur, and
it is said that not one Of the crowd
deserted and cut for shelter. All were
pretty well wet down when the rain
ceased, but the loyalty OF the citizens
toward their band remains unques-
toned.

Proper rr...m.n. of Pn.umon,..

Pneumonia is too dangerous dis ease for anyone to attempt to doctor himself, although he may have the proper remedies at hand. A physi- clan should always be called. It should be borne in mind, however. that pneumonia always results from a bad cold or from an attack of the grip, and that by giving Chamber lain's Cough Remedy the threatened attack of pneumonia may be warded of. This remedy is also used by physicians in the treatment of pneu- monia with the best results. Dr. w. J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala, who is also a druggist, says of it: ''I have been selling Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and prescribing it in my practice for the past six years. I use it in cases of pneumonia and have always gotten the best results" Sold by all druggists.
