Evangelistic Services Held.

The recent addresses of Capt. Theodore G..
Valiant, who is in charge of the Light
House Mission for Colored Men and Boys,
on Missouri avenue, have attracted the at
tention of the clergy of the District. There
was a large gathering at the Homeward
Bound Mission, 119 Pennsylvania avenue
northwest, Sunday night, and Captain Va
liant's address on THE Creation was very
favorably spoken of. He described the great
work of the creation in vivid manner, and
said real virtue should be able to stand
temptation. He said mans law might be
evaded, but there was no way to escape the
divine and just laws of God.
Their blessings and their penalties were
equally certain, he declared. Gods laws
are the same today as they were In the
time of Adam, and as they will be through
all eternity.
Captain Valiant made a strong plea for
his hearers to obey the great and good laws
Of God, and announced that nightly revival
services will be held at headquarters of the

School Elocution.
,tor of The Evening Star:


would like to call the attention of those
interested in education to the fact that IN
giving our children all the new ''ologies,"
there is danger of crowdng out some ex-
tremely important old studies rake. ior
example reading. 1t no longer receives
the consideration it once did. Readin'
writin' and 'rithmetic were considered
foundation studies in days gone by, but In
many of our schools, while arithmetic and
writing are still taught. reading, as dis
tinct study, is being crowded to the wall.
The man or woman who would succeed in
business or social life must learn to speak
we'll, through the reading aloud system, in
order to win attention.

tive last winter, said he: II am glad to

Throughout large portion of these
valleys artesian water is to be found in
abundance, as has beer demonstrated by
the forty wells already sunk at Battle
Mountain, at the mouth OF Reese river,
and at other places. At present the arte-
sian district is but sparsely populated,
and not more than 25,000 acres have been
watered. and this mainly to produce hay
and pasturage for stock, but owing to
the fact that these valleys are already
penetrated by railroads and to their prox-
unity to the large mining town of Aus
tin and other rich mineral districts, they
present the most attractive field in the
country for irrigation and colonization
enterprise.--From Pamphlet "New Ne

High Prices in
Future.

AT the present outlook it seems that
both cattle and sheep will reach very
high price within a month, especially
should the drouth continue in California.
At the present time the cattle men Of
the other States are in want of feed.
They do not cut hay to the same extent
that is done in Nevada as they depend
on the warm rains and storms of winter
to furnish winter and spring feed. The
rains did not come and feed has grown
exceedingly scarce. The advance in
mutton is all due to the condition of the
weather in California. The weather in
Nevada has been blessing to the cattle
men of this State. 1t is a saving of
many hundred dollars a day as the
range cattle are able to hustle living.
where, with a heavy winter they would
be fed from the stack. Even market
cattle require less feed this winter than
in hard winter and all the cattle ship
ped from the State have been prime

Western PacifiC's S
Intentions.

There is not great deal to be learned
of the inteLtion OF the Western Pacific
Railway company relative to its route
across Nevada, except in general way,
from the copy OF the mortgage filed with
County Recorder Sheehan last Wednes-
day. From the document, however, it is
learned that the road drops down into
and crosses the Humboldt valley, and, in
order to do this in going from its speci-
fed eastern to western points at which
it crosses the mountains on each side
of the state, it is more than reasonable
to presume that the road will not go out
of its way to keep from going through
the best town in the state.
The route as outlined in the mortgage
begins at San Francisco, thence to Oak
land, Stockton, Sacramento. Marysville
Oroville and thence northerly, north
eastorly and easterly crossing the Sierra
Nevada mountains 10 point on the
boundary line between California and
Nevada, thence in general easterly di-
rection across the state of Nevada by a
convenient, practical and feasible route
to point on the boundary line between
Nevada and Utah, and thence in a gen.
eral easterly direction to Salt Lake.
The mortgage is signed by w. J. Bar
nett, president; L. r. Bush, assistant
secretary; William II. Taylor, vice presi-
dent, and William NJ. Laws secretary.
There are eighty y-seven printed pages
Of the document, containing in the
neighborhood of $4,000 words, and fees
for recording the mortgage will be about
$50.
The recording of the instrument in
II smboldt county is a further indication
that the Western Pacific road intends to
cross the country.-SiIrer State.

Almost Fatal
SnoWSlide.

4 snow slide occurred at Edgemont at
6 o'clock last Friday evening that near
ly cost Wm. Robertson his life.
At the hour named huge volume of
snow broke loose from the mountain
above and without warning, descended
with terrific force upon the mill and
cyanide plant in the canyon.
Robertson was in the cyanide tank
sluicing 1t out, when the slide crushed
through the building, bnrying him be-
meath 20 feet of snow and broken tim
bers. 1t took the entire male population
OF Edgemont three hours to extricate
the unfortunate young man from his
perilous position. When they reached
him, at o'clock, great was their rojoic
ing to find their friend alive and con-
scious, and, with the exception of few
minor bruises, practically uninjured.
The mill, cyanide plant and black
smith shop were considerably demolish-
ed and, as result of the accident, opera
tions will probably be suspended for the
winter.
Mr, Robertson's fortunate escape from
death was probably due to the broken
timbers of the building falling in such a
way over the top of the cyanide tank as
to save him from being fatally crushed
as be must have been had it not been for
the providential resistance of the tim
bers.-Times Review.
In addition to the above the Indepen-
dent learns that the hosting works of
the mining company were also swept
away by the SHOWS slide. Also that all
the men at work at the mine have been
paid off aud nothing can be done at the
mine until the hoisting works and mill
are rebuilt. This is a sad blow to Edge
mont. = Elko Independent.

LAND VALUES.

There is probably no place where land
can be bought on more favorable terms
than in Nevada. OF course the pick OF
every country is high, and farm within
sight OF the State Capitol or in the rich
valley Of the Truckee near Reno or the
Humboldt opposite any of the thriving
little cities of Elko. Carlin or Lovelock
will not be sold for song, yet it is true
that in every valley and on every stream
there is land within reach OF water that
can be bought for very few dollars per
acre. The major part OF the irrigable
lands in the Humboldt Basin belong to
the Government and to the Central Pa
cihc Railroad Company-those belong
ing to the former being purchaseable
through the State at 81 25 per acre,
while the railroad offers it's lands at
from 81 to $40 per acre. The cost of
putting water upon these lands will vary
with the location and the character Of
the ground, and according to whether
storage is necessary or not, from ~ 90
to SO per acre, il undertaken on an ex-
tersive scale, and there are many locali-
ties where individuals can take from
forty to one hundred and sixty acres
upon which they can bring at less cost.
The present value placed upon unim-
proved lands under ditch in the Hum
boldt Basin varies in different localities
from "a to 500 per acre.

GREAT FIRES OF
HISTORY.

Baltimore's great Ere makes peril
menta review OF the great fires of history.
First was the burning of Rome, "a A. D.,
when the imperial city was devastated
by sea of fame for eight days. His
tory AYERS that Emperor Nero set the
| city afire for the mere pleasure of seeing
it burn, and that he enjoyed the sight
immensely.
London's great fire" occurred in 1866.
1t lasted three days. 1t laid waste
about 463 acres and destroyed 13,200
buildings. The loss was estimated at
$53,000000. The fire started in wood
en- building in Pudding lane only six
lives were lost.
In 1912 the Russians, in presence of
Napoleon's advancing army, set Moscow
on fire. The flames lasted three days
and all Moscow was destroyed. More
than thirty thousand buildings were con-
sumed. The loss was reckoned at $780,
100000.
New York had memorable fire in
December, 1885. It began in the busi
ness part OF the city and $50 buildings
were destroyed. An area of more than
81 acres was laid waste and thousand
mercantile houses lost their places of
business. The totalloss sl5,0O0,000
While the city of Hamburg was in
state OF anarchy in May, 1842 one fifth
of the population was made homeless by
a fire in which 100 persons lost their
lives and 4,2l9 buildings were destroyed.
The total loss was S35,0O0,0OO.
In May, 1916, the city of Quebec had
a four million dollar fire, in which one
third of the population was made home.
less and 1850 houses destroyed.
In July. 1852, in the city OF Montreal,
fire devastated aspace one mile in length
and one half mile in width, leaving TO-
900 people destitute. In this fire 1900
houses were burned and the loss was
$5,OO0,GOO.
Pera, suburb OF Constantinople oc-
cupied by the foreign population and na-
tive christians, was swept by fire IN
June, 1870. The foreign legations were
destroyed and more than 1000 buildings
laid in ashes. The loss was s11,090,O00.
The greatest fire of modern times, or
for that matter, in all history, occurred in
Chicago, October 8-l9, 1871. 1t began
in barn and spread over an area Of 2l24
acres in the heart of the city. In this
fire $50 lives we're lost, 98,500 people
consumed. The loss was S195,OO0,0O0.
This was one half of the value of the
buildings OF the city. The entire dis
trict was rebuilt within four years, Chi
cago holds the record.
Nov. 8 10, 1872 the richest quarter of
Boston was burned. The area burned
over was more than 50 acres, and 776
buildings filled with merchandise were
destroyed, at loss OF S75,0O0,000.
The city of ST. Johns, New Brunswick,
was destroyed by fire in June, 1877 An
area of 200 acres was burned over and
10 miles of streets laid waste. In this
fire 1900 buildings we're destroyed and
Is lives lost. The loss was S25 100000
In February, 1902. there was great
fire in Patterson, N. j. and the property
loss was estimated at sl2,000,000. A few
years ago fire fairly swept Jacksonville,
Florida, out OF existence for time at
least.
Within recent weeks there was fire
in Aalesund, Norway, that left 14,000
people homeless and destroyed property
valued at $l,000,000.
