VOICES OF THE PRESS.
The Development of Nevada.

CNational Geographic MagaZine)
No state in the Union has so long and
so badly needed an increase of populn-
ti"n as has Nevada. Her population of
$1,000 today is less than ii was in 1870,
six years after her admission as Il state.
1t is gratifying 10 know, therefore, that
she will more than double her present
numbers when the vast Government ir-
rlSation works begun on the Truckee
and Carson rivers are completed. 1t is
estimated that the works will make
productive about $4,000 acres of saga
brush desert in the western part Of the
state. These lands will furnish fertile
homesteads Of about eighty acres each
for 4,5O0 families. Towns and VIII
lagos will naturally spring up, so that
Nevada may expect from the reclama-
ton an increase of 60, 900 at the least.
