CHANCE FOR Enterprise.
Lumber Mills in the Mountains Would
Pay Well.

There is q general rumor that all
OF the lumber plants along the True,
kee, and in that section have joined the
trust that has been formed to keep
up the prices of the product from all
OF the mills on the coast. That there
is something doing there is no doubt.
as some of the boys who have return
ed from the mills state that conferen-
ces have been made and that stock
on hand and that contemplated for
the season is being taken and figured
on.
This is what is to be expected, as
| it is the general rule of the day in all
business to work together regardless
| of the consumer
At the present time this Immediate
section promises to use more lumber
than has been called for in mny years
F, Not only does the Comstock eat a
! great hole into the lumber piles, but
the new industries that are opening
all along the State line are consumers
and they want lumber and plenty Of
it.
| There is but one to combat the
crew that is soaking up prices or that
| will raise them and matters are ad-
justed, and that is to have an opposi-
ton mill TO cut what is desired.
1t is not a great distance to the
lumber and timber region south Of
this city, and first class mill would
result in a great deal of lumber being
hauled where it would find a ready
market Several small mills have kept
the farmers up the valley supplied
with what they want, but the capacity
Of the saws has prevented any accum
ulation of lumber up that way.
Lumber is an article that finds a
ready market always and at the pre-
sent time the demand is at it's height.
New buildings are to be placed in this
city and all of the timber has to come
from the trust companies, which is
all right for the company but in case
new mill should agree to furnish
the material there is no question but
that a great deal Of business could be
transacted by the first opposition mill
in the field.
There was some talk while ago OF
a new lumber yard opening here
in this city but it has failed "a
materialize up to the present time. II
certainly offers chance for a new en-
terprise, and the man who lands with
the lumber can do business. Since the
old f1ume went out from Glenbroob
the quality Of lumber has deterioated
and the price gone up, until lumber
at it's worst is an expensive luxury
} The Glenbrock mills furnished th5
) best lumber that could be had on the
coast and that which is now comins
in does not compare in quality bu
; certainly makes up all deficiencies II
price to the company. Carson
| can stand change of the program
} and if the new mills at the head d
the valley are looking for a profitable
field, it can be found in this city.

BLESSINGS OF IRRIGATION
hakes for Highest Social and Indus-
trial status-So Land Monopoly.

Hon. William l.. Smyth. author Of
Arid America." has truly said that no
consideration Of the subject can be ap-
preciated when Il starts with the narrow
view that irrigation j. merely an ad-
iancr to agriculture. IL is social and
Industrial factor In mucA broader sense.
IL not only makes IL possible for civil
ikatlou 20 rise and flourish in the midst OF
despiafe astes: u shapes and oolo-s that
civilization after it, own peculiar design.
IL is not merely the life blood OF the
teld but the source % institutions. These
wider and more subtle influences are dim
cult 10 define in abstract terms. but We
may trace them clearly TO the history
Of various communities which have
grown up 10 conformity with these CON
dltions.
Th. first great law which irrigation
lays down Is this: There shall be no mo-
nopoly OF hnd" The c,iict il enforces by
the remorselrss operation o, It's own
economy. Canals must be built before
" ater can be conducted upon the land.
This entails expense either OF money or
OF labor. What - expensive cannot be
had for naught- Where water is the
foundation Of prosperity It becomes pre-
cious thing to be neither cheaply acquir-
ell nor wantoniy wasted. Like a city 5
provisions in a siege, il is retained to be
carefully husbandeI, TO lie fairly distrib-
uted according TO mems needs, to he
wisely expended by those who receive IT,.
For these reasons men cannot acquire
as much irrigated land, even from the
public domain, as they could acquire
where Irrigation is unnecessary. IL Is
not only more dificult 70 acquire in large
bodies but yet more dlfiicult TO retain.
A large farm under irrigation is a mis-
fortune. a great farm, calamity. Only
the small farm pays. but this small farm
blesses its proprietor with industrial In
dependence and crowns him with social
equality Industrial independence is. in
its simplest term, the guarantee of sub
siztence from ones own labors. II is the
bihty TO earn living under conditions
which admit Of the smallest possible ele-
ment OF doubt with the least possible de-
pendencs upon others. Irrigation fully
satisfies this definition.
The irrgating canal Is an insurance
policy against loss of crops by drought.
while aridity is a substantial guarantee
against injury by flood. OF all the ad-
vantages OF irrigation this is the most
obvious Scarcely less so. however, is its
compelling power in the matter of pro-
duction. Probably there is no spot Of
land in the United States where the aver
age crop raised by dependence upon rain
fall might not be doubled by intelligent
irrigation The rich soils Of the arid re-
gion produce from four to ten times as
largely with irrigation. rs the soil of the
humid region without IL. As the meas
urc OF valve is not area, but productive
capscity. twenty acre. in the far West is
equal to 100 acres elsewhere Such is
the actual facts.
