The New Termi-

The new division town of Mon

race as the division point next
west of Ogden on the Central Pa
cifc. is In an interesting stage of
growth, says Immigrant Inspector
w. Fl. Weber, who has just return
ed from a trip to that part of the
country.
There are now about $50 to 800
inhabitants, all railroad men, in
the town, but no houses of any
description. The population sleep
In the sagebrush, and eats in box
cars, except for "a half dozen favor
ed inhabitants who have put up a
couple of tents. The population
by sex is 29S male and two female
as the railroad men have not yet
summoned courage to bring their
families into the town.
A railroad hotel and restaurant
will be opened next week, and three
saloons will be the first structures
put up in the new town. There
are ten large freight engines on
the tracks and a large amount of
material which will be- used in the
construction of shops. All the
railroad material now at Terrace,
Utah, is being moved to Monticello,
and the inhabitants are moving as
we'll. Three springs o fgood water
have been located. the most dis
lance being four miles from the
site of the town, and a good water
supply is now assured Utah State

annals of navel warfare when Ad-
miral Dewey sunk the entire
Spanish war fleet in Mantle bay
and silenced the guns of Cavite

with this victory the sea fights OF

New Nevada.

That Nevada has been down al
the heel for many years is no fault
of the State nor the people living
in it. The same resources are
here to-day that have been for
years-ever since the State was
admitted. The fault has been
largely due to the reputation Ne
vada has had in other places.
When silver mining was stopped
everyone thought that Nevada's
resources were exhausted. The
people living here did not try to
build up on other lines and the re-
suit was that we were always spoken
of as living in a "rotten borough
People crossing the continent on
the Central Pacific saw nothing to
attract them, and for years the
State was looked uponas a bridge
from Utah to California. That day
has now passed and the common
wealth is attracting attention in a
mining way, in an agricultural way
and, as a stock-raising State, has
no superiors and but few equals.
The next ten years will e Ne
vada populous and prosperous.
Those of US who have lived here all
our lives know what hard times
means and yet the people have
done as well as the same num-
Der of people anywhere else.
With the influx of population and
with improved conditions Nevada
will hold up her head and grow
until her very venue Of human
endeavor is filled.-Observer.

painted at the ceiling of his shop
that afternoon, and for the purpose
used step ladder which was set
on top of a table. Mounted on the

The Fixer clung to the ladder, and

Dilly fell across the appliance in
such a way that the muscles of his
back were strained. The shock of
the fall and the injury sustained,
made it impossible for him to move
himself. Assistance was soon at
hand, and he was carried home,
where medical aid was provided.
The general supposition for a time
was that the spine had been injur-
ed. but this report the physician
pronounced unfounded. A severe
strain to the muscles of the back
and few bruises were the sum to-
tai of his injuries, and these,
though painful for the time, are
not permanent.

Rainfall for February-More Pre-
cipitation now Than all Last
Year.

With record-breaking rainfall.
the late obstreperous February pass
ed into history Monday at mid
night. 1t rained on % of its 2e
days and yielded a total rainfall of
1886 inches. Its precipitation is
the greatest of any month since
November. 1896, when the total
was 1860 inches. The next great
est was in November. 1897, when
the total was I1.76 inches.
The mouths contribution raised
the total rainfall since the first ol
last September to 38.12 inches
breaking all records for the period
since 1896. The nearest approach
to the present aggregate for the
period was in 1896 7. when it was

February, 5S.o3 inches
The total is now nearly four
inches more than the total rainfall

ANOTHER TEN THOUSAND.
In Tax Money-Big Rush Expected
During Next Two Weeks.

Another $4,000 in tax money
was turned over to the county treas
urer by Sheriff Burnett Monday
morning, raising the total so dis
bursed to $40, 900. Either a call
for warrants or payment on state
taxes will result. For the next two
weeks the sheriff will be overwhel-
med with business. In the time it
la expected that he will have to is
sue 900 to 1,2ooreceipts, and per-
form the labyrinth of computations
incident to segregation of the tax
payments into the "a funds into
which they haue to be placed. In
that two weeks a grand rush is ex-
pected for those who want the three
per cent rebate, allowed for payment
of taxes on OF before March 5th.
Up to Monday evening 625 per
sons had paid taxes, while by the
18th 1900 or 1,7oo will probably
have paid. It will be wise man
who does not wait to the last day
or last week, for history shows that
if he does, he will have to take his
turn in the line and wait till he can
get the sheriff's attention. Sheriff
Burnett is the only sheriff in Ore
gon who collects taxes without the
assistance of deputies, in which re-
spect he serves his constituents
most economically. They should,
in turn, help him out by not wait
ing to the last day to pay.

A BENTON PIONEER.
His Death at North Yakima-Once
Corvallis Business tman-Levi
Russell.

Levi Russell, who was intimate
ely connected with the early history
of Corvallis, died at the home of
his daughter, Mrs. John Shearer
at North Yakima on the goth inst.
He was the father of Mrs. L. F.
Wilson of this city, andunti1 four or
five years ago made his home the
larger part of the time with her.
At one time, along in the latter fif-
ties he was associated in the man
agement of what is now the Cor
wallis FIGURING Mills. owned then
by the late J. G. Avery. His death
was the result of advanced years,
Mr.. Russell having attained the
ripe old age of SS.
Levi Russell was born in Ohio
March 16, 1876. His parents were
Vemonters, who came with the
western advance of civilization to
the Ohio frontier. Later the fami:
ly removed to Missouri, whence in
1851. Levi started across the plains
arriving in Oregon in the autumn
of 1851. He settled near Craw-
fordsville, Linn county, where he
became associated in the ownership
of sawmill. In 1854, he pur-
chased farm two miles north OF
Corvallis, but within a short time
he took position in the Corvallis
FIGURING Mill. and in that estab-
lishment and in the Felger mill
near Philomath, he was engaged
until 1876. In the latter year he
removed to Prineville, where he
was for four or FIVE years in charge
of the Breyman & Sommerville
FIGURING Mill. Thereafter event
to North Yakima, where he was
engaged for several years in the
milling business. In 1884, Mrs.
Russell died, and afterward Mr..
Russell, now we'll advanced in years
retired from active business, and
made his home alternately with
his only children, Mrs. Wilson in
Corvallis, and Mrs. Shearer at
North Yakima.
The deceased is well, and most
kindly remembered in Corvallis.

"Have you seen John Stah1-

cept his looks. Some people did
not attempt to describe him, and
Others did. One of the latter be

dog | ever saw. Up in Alaska they
have dogs that are half wolf, but
they look more like dogs than this
thing, I once heard fellow say
that out in the Cascade foothills of
Douglas county, he saw a wild dog
which must have been three-thirds
wolf, but he still could tell that it
was dog, Now this Stahlbusch

still you can tell by his bark that
he is dog. Some say he is high

about that, but I am sure he is

This dog was sent to Mr.. Ssahl-
bush by Captain Galbraith of the

friendship. The contrary, however
would seem to be true. and that in
sending Mr.. Stah1busch this
wretched animal, the captain has
taken a mean advantage. The act
is more to be deprecated from the
fact that John imagines it was
perpetrated in good faith.

Editor TIMES: I left Roswell, !
New Mexico, Friday evening and |
arrived in Reno the following Mon-
day night, coming by way of Los
Angeles and San Francisco. This
trip gives one an idea of the var
ieties of climate that can bless or
affiict this country of ours. and all
going at the same time. At Ros-
well the air was clear. the days
like days in June and the nights
crisp, but not unp'easantly cold. It
was warmer on the desert and at
Indio, positively hot Los Angeles
was enjoying its usual mid-winter
dangerous and enervAing warmth
and sunshine. The angeles m
sist that they enjoy it, but the
perfectly sane visitor, after week
of it, longs for thunder storm ~er
cyclone to break the monotony.
San Francisco sat upon her seven
hundred bills. wrapt in cold rain
fog. The rain continued well up
into the Sierras, and then snow and
more snow. Sometimes it appear
ed to be most snow. At~Reno it
is warm.
Roswell is town of some 5000
people and unlike nearly all the
towns of New Mexico and Arizona
the population was practically all
white. There are relatively but
but few Mexieans in the Pecor val
ley.
While the prosperity OF Roswell
is largely dependent upon the cat
tie industry, an industry that at
present languishes the town is in
the midst of some fine orchards,
chiefly in apples. The completion
by the government, of the Hondo
reservoir will add to Roswell's S re-
sources some so rich soiled farms
of SO acres each. Land with suf6-
cient water for proper irrigation are
worth from $50 to $1oo an acre,
and in alfalfa alone, pay, net good
interest at these figures.
! Gambling is licensed in New
Mexico, each device or table pay
ing a rather heavy annual tax. All
playing is in the open. and while
levery saloon has its roulette, faro
and monte layouts, there is not
much play. that being generally
restricted by prevailing conditions
to those independent Of public or
employers censure.
| Roswell is town of tall tales
yarns in great number and of inn
lposing altitude. One business Jhan
assured me that from well dug in
his yard, he had caught several tons
of chinook salmon. Several gentle
men told me of nearby cave.
where formerly could be heard, in
most enhancing strains, the airs
of Star Spangled Banner, Dixie,
and Nearer my God to Thee. But
that brand of whiskey is no longer
kept in town.
| This habit of improving upon
facts is contagious. The day be-
fore I left Roswell, Brady Burnett
returned by freight train so miles
| up the Pecor river, where he had
dinner with some government sur
lveyors. A New Yorker at the ho-
tel asked him what campers on the
desert did for fuel. 'That's easy"
answered Brady. "The cook puts
his meat in a frying pan and pre-
pares his coffee in coffee pot. He
then sets FIRE to the prairie grass,
and with coffee pot in one hand and
pan in the other, runs along with
outstretched arms, following the
FIRE. He returns to camp with
meat cooked and coffee boiling" "
