Work Is progressing fairly well on
the great lower Truckee Irrigation
canal. Stone Bros. will transfer their
steam shovels from earth to rock work
the latter to be blasted before handled
as matter Of course. The earthwerk
will be performed by men and te nus.
G. A. Warren & Co., tbs contractors
operating at the other end of the canal,
are also making fair progress, although
not SO great as they will In a few weeks,
when several times the present force
will be employed.
At present there are only 253 men
at work on the entire Job, 450 horses
are employed. State Hydrographer
Taylor tells US that the work will be
completed within the stipulated time,
provisions having been made by the
government TO increase the force at
the expense of the contractors If the
progress OF the work Is not satisfactory
1t Is not matter of penalty for de-
lays. The government insists that the
work will be completed within four
teen months of the time Of
the signing Of the contracts, and
Uncle Sam will see that it Is done.

2sth of August last and the other OIL

Mr.. Taylor has number of survey
ing parties in the field and the laterals
are being surveyed. He expects TO
have the main laterals located by

study OF the soil, which is now under
way, completed, the government will
be able to state Just what lands will be

SAGEBRUSH

| The Reno Gazette contains the fol.
lowing relative to sagebrush as q tan
ming agent, and shows that the Item
published in the Appeal few days ago
was based upon facts:
Nothing is lost in the economy Of ma
ture, but some things get misplaced oc-
cassioAally and one of these IL our arte-
mesia. Nevsda's State shrub, the
hardy sagebrush, has never been ad-
judged OF worth otherwise than an
sdornment Of the landscape and browse
Of n edi ere sort.
But the day Is dawning for this
omnipresent plant. It promises In
me To be so eagerly sought for that
nothing but the IImitless quantity and
rapidity of production will prevent its
utter determination.
This plant draws from Nevada's arid
but rich soil fannie acid IN abundance.
The promotion of this chemical il as
great in the sagebrush ~ 1t in the
much sort for oak bark Of California.
which Is gathered In quantities that
forests are demolished, for the bark
cannot be obtained without destroying
the tree
Judge Wren was among the first and
was the first to arrive ut the know
ledge Of this property possessed by
artemisla, tut his experiments have
never gone far enough to demonstrate
the practical worth of the plant as a
source Of the acid.
A correspondent Of Secretary
ingalls, whose letter follows, has made
n number of experiments and Is con-
vinced that the extraction OF tannic
acid from the sage will become an IN
18stry IN this vicinity.

opening day for several years.

Shippers, 10Y; Capt. L. A. Hamil-
ton, So; Frank Boyd and his party,
48; the bushwacking or sneakboats
secured from 20 to 80 ducks each,
and it is estimated that there were
fully 1000 ducks killed, which as
a record, will beat any first day Tor
a number of years.
A large number of gunners from
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and other cities were present. Geo.
s. Burroughs and J. A. McKelvey,
of Wilmington, were among these
and bagged 16S ducks during the

mington to Baltimore. The fog
was very thick on Thursday night
and when he reached North Point
he failed to see the signal, running
his engine into an open switch and
off the track. The fireman jumped
and called to Sloan to do likewise,
but the unfortunate man was
caught under the monster machine
as it tilted over on its side on the
bank and crushed to death. 1t re-
quired six hours work to release
the body.
The deceased was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. G. Sloan, of near
Oxford, and leaves besides a wife,
his father and mother, two broth
ers and a sister. His fuueral was
held on Thursday from the home

The Chrysanthemum Tea given

in the lecture room Of the M. E.

cessful affairs of the kind, in every
respect, ever held in the town.
The various tables and booths were
tastily decorated and the menu,
which embraced numerous ex-
quisitely prepared and palatable
dishes, served in a dainty and
pleasing manner by a corps of
pretty walters, who were attentive
to every want of their many pa
irons. The gross receipts of the
evening were $56, about $40 being
netted.

Barn Burned.

Early Saturday morning the barn
on the farm of Mrs. Benjamin An
drews, near New Providence, Lam
caster county, was destroyed by
fire. The evening before a lantern
being carried about the barn had
exploded and was thrown from the
building. 1t landed in straw
stack but the flames were smother
ed out before gaining any heidway.
1t is thought, however, there must
have been some sparks left smoul-
dering in the barn, as it was dis
covered to be on fire about 2 o'clock
Saturday morning and was entirely
destroyed, together with contents,
consisting of all this years crops,
lot OF farming implements, harness,
etc. The live stock was saved.
There was a partial insurance on
the building.

A Dangerous Blaze.

The fortunate discovery of "a
blaze in the summer kitchen of
Mrs. J. s. Chapman's home, on
Pearl street, at noon on Friday
last, prevented the probable de-
struction of the dwelling. The
family were just in the act of sitting
down to dinner when a slight noise
was heard in the kitchen. An in
vestigation proved it to be the
falling of a large spoon which had
been hanging on the wall by a
string, the cord having been burn.
ed through. Some aprons and
other articles hanging near were in
a blaze but a bucket of water soon
extinguished them, when it was
discovered the roof of the shed was
on fire. Water thrown from an
upper window quenched the flames
after a good sized hole had been
burned In the roof.
The origin of the fire is a mys-
terry but the supposition is that it
caught from the gasoline stove in
some manner, although the burned
articles were some two or three
feet away, while some cloths hang
ing above the store were not even
scorched.
