Rich Soil.

A. l.. Toffelmire, superintendent of
a section of the government canal for
Stone Bros, has been making some
practical tests of the soil to be covered
by water the coming spring with high
ly gratifying results, says the Dis
patee. Mr.. Toffelmire selected sam
Piles of the soil at random from various
parts of the immense tract, placed
them in boxes and planted seeds of
various kinds of vegetables and cere-
ais. He is man of wide experience
in farming and says that he never saw
vegetation perfected so rapidly in any
section of the country; from Michigan
to san Francisco. Within a short
time after planting the seeds, Mr..
Tofielmire had raddishes, lettuce,
green onions, etc, of the best possible
quality, while the wheat, barley and
oats have made splendid progress. He
says that the area in the vicinity
of Wadsworth soon to be supplied
with water will make one of the great
est agricultural districts in the West.
Mr.. Toffelmire is one of the pioneers
who paved the way for the march of
civilization through the Western
country. He was employed as a
driver on different parts of the over
land mail route before the advent of
the railroad, and many of the men
whose names are familiar in history
were his intimate friends. He is an
interesting conversationalist and had
many thrilling experiences during the
time when law officers were scarce
and outlaws many in this section of
the country

Advice to Knockers.

If there is a chance to boom. busi-
ness, boom it. Don't pull.a,long face
and get sour on your stomach. Don't
be knocker. Hope a bit. Get a
smile on you. Hold up your head.
Get hold with your hands. Then
pull. Bury your hatchet. Drop your
tomahawk. Hide your little hammer.
When stranger drops in, tell him of
the great resources of this town. Don't
roast. Be jolly. Get popular. It's
dead easy. Help yourself along Push
your friends along with you. Soon
you'll have whole procession. Be a
good fellow. No one ever helped him
self by knocking people down. No
man ever got rich trying to make the
people believe he was the only good
man on earth. You can't climb the
ladder of fame by treading ON other
peoples eorns. You'll be knocked
down peg. They're their corns, not
yours and they're tender. Keep off
the corns. When a stranger asks for
Information regarding the mineral
and agricultural outlook of this region
tell him all you know. If you don't
know anything, get posted. Above
all be courteous. Don't freeze him
with a look. You're not the only
shirt waist in the wash. If you don't
like other peoples style, let them a.
lone. Don't knock. If you have the
blues, or the dyspepsia, or feel tired,
and can't say good word for people
who are showing the enterprise you
don't possess, keep your mouth shut
till you feel better If you must cuss
somebody, cuss yourself You need it
and the energetic people who are try
ing to help the town, and increasing
the value of your property together
with their own, have no time to do the
trick. There's lots of fun in mind
ing your business, and it makes other
people like your better. Better have
others stuck on you than get stuck ION
yourself. Nobody gets stuck on a
knocker. Don't be one. Be good.

Local Mans Troubles.

The man who handles the local de-
partment of newspaper learns after
due experience not to expect very
many thanks for column of pleasant
things, but he knows as surely as come
the seasons that single line in which
there is unintentional mistakes will
cause someone TO be heard. Also that
when he has made pleasant mention
WV times of some person, place or
thlng, but on the thousandth time
Rails to do so, he must not expect to be
forgiven. The omission may have
been from accident, inadyertence or
even an entire lack of knowledge il
matters not. I he simple fact remains
That he will be judged on that. He
may say good things about some busi-
ness man for weeks, but let him make
some mistake and the good things
sad are forgotten and the mans
business is denied him.

Death of Joseph R. Ryan.

Entirely unexpected was the receipt
of the news that Hon. Joseph r. Ryan
died in St. Louis last Friday morning.
Death was caused by pneumonia,
which he contracted while on his
journey.
Mr.. Ryan was one of the best known

opponents on every hand.

On the Cheap Plan.

An exchange suggests the following
way for eeonomizing on hotel expen-
ses while viewing the Worlds Fair;
"If your uncle has an aunt who has a
nephew whose wife has cousin
that is married to an old friend of
your wife's sister, whose grandfather
used to live in the same town with an
old school mate of yours, whose SON
in-law is now in st Louis, you should
at once renew the acquaintance with a

ing the Worlds Fair. This scheme
can be worked successfully in many

Brilliant Future for the Town of
FaIIOn.

Imagine City of 10000 people, pic
turesquely situated in the heart of
great agricultural section, with broad
streets and cosy homes, stately edi-
fees, magnificent churches and schools
and you have before your minds eye
the Fallon of the future. The new
town site prepared by government
officials is now on paper and on its
way to Washington to receive the
stamp of approval of the Secretary of
the Interior. The map was made
under the direction of Engineer Rus
sci, L. s. g. S., and is perfection it's
self. 1t calls for streets sixty feet in
width and large blocks with alleys
running through each of them. In
the.center allowance is made for a
park, which will eventually material
ize, says the Standard.
Who, then can question the future
growth of this town. The United
States Government anticipates pop
ulation of 10000 souls and to that end
has seen fit to exercise authority in
the laying out of the new Fallon. OF
course it is not expected that this
rapid growth will happen in month
or year, but it will surely happen
within very few years. 1t is con-
servatively estimated by men high in
authority that Fallon is the coming
metropolis of the Sagebrush State and
no doubt their estimates are correct.
The valley Immediately surrounding
Fallon is going to support a vast
army of people and Fallon will, natur-
ally, be the base of supplies.
The canal contractors are rapidly
pushing their work to completion and
the end is in sight Within sixty days
the canal will have been finished as
far as the dam site, which is the term
ination of the first contract. The
large contractors are evidently salts
fled with the work, for it is their in
| tention to bid on the new contracts
which will be opened in Reno July 10.
| The canals to be constructed under
| these latter contracts will be pushed
to completion more rapidly, for the
country over which they are to pass
is level and easily worked
At the dam site the government is
going to install a $4,000 electrical
plant to furnish power for pumping
water to some 10000 acres of the finest
land, situated ON a table land about
nine miles north. This plant will also
furnish light and power for the valley
towns, it is said.
The system of irrigation to be inau-
gurated in this valley is to be the
greatest the world has ever known.
For instance, for every mile of canal
there will be a mile of drain. The
water is being analyzed and the soil
tested; in fact, every detail is bein G
carefully studied. Nowhere has such
great pains ever been taken. But Il
few years and the Carson Sink Valley
will blossom in unsurpassed beauty
