GEO. S. NIXON, SENATOR.
An Opinion Of His Candidacy by Former
School-Mate.

good deal bigger in the distance to

on now, Pm very sure. l don't
know what Browns is like now,
but at that time George Nixon,
the new agent and operator, but
rather homesick boy, described it
as containing the railroad station
and two hundred million hungry
gnats.'
Later he was transferred to
Humboldt, and eventually was
offered a position in the First Ma
tional Bank at Reno. Then he
was sent to establish a bank at
Winnemucca, where he has re-
sided ever since, and where he
became the editor and owner of
the Silver State. Having shrewd
business head and no bad habits,
he saved his money, invested it
iudiciously, was fortunate in near
ly everything he touched, includ-
ing mines, stock raising, etc, and
hats how lie earned the various
titles which are tackled after his
name.
AS a youth he was sCrupulOusly
honest and held the finest ideals.
He has brains and he has used
them freely, not only for himself
but for Nevada. His success has
been almost phenominal, but he is
in every sense man of the peo-
pie, who has earned every good
thing that has come to him by his
own efforts.
Here's hoping the people of
Nevada may put the crownlng
touch to his well-earned honors
by sending him to the United
States Senate.
If they do their interests will be
looked after by one of the brain
lest and shrewdest men of the
West, and one who knows the
needs as a wise mother knows the
needs of her child. Nevada will
please remember that California
horned her brightest man and
feels an interest in his success
that is not bound by any political
lines or party alliances. 'Rah for
Nixon! He's all right"

PLATFORM.
of Washoe County

The Republican party of Nevada, in State Con
vention assembled, reaffirms its adherence to the
principles of Republicanism as expressed in the
national platform and wrought into the govern
ment of the nation from Abraham Lincoln to
Theodore Roosevelt. The history of republican
ism is the party mightest platform. Endorsing
the nominees of the national convention, we af
firm that no man in public or private life in this
country is more fitted in honesty, daring uncom-
promising independence, Steadfast in what he
believes to be right and sound judgment to guide
the American people in the fulhllment of their
destiny the next four years than Theodore Roose-
welt, the statesman in peace, the hero in war, the
westerner always, and the Republican nominee
for President of the United States.
We respectfully suggest to the voters OF Neva-
da that Alton Brooks Parker is too closely allied
with the selfish corporate and monied institutions
of Wall street and the lawless and predatory mo-
nopolistc trusts of the country to qualify him for
the discharge of the duties of the Office for which
the Democratic party of the United States has
selected him, and that no language which we can
frame more apty illustrates his disqualifcations
than that freely and publicly employed by w. J..
Bryan, w. r. Hearst and other leading men con-
spcuously prominent in the environment OF the
Democratic presidential nominee were subject to
free and untrammeed discussion.

ABOUT CUTOFF,
Southern Pacific Engineer Reports Favorably
on the Proposition.

The engineer did not talk much,
but inferred that he would report
favorably on the cutoff. Howev-
er, it is supposed that such an un-
dertaking is to be a realization of
the future, the data being OBJ
tanned for future reference and
not for immediate use.-Churchill
Standard.
In connection with this matter
the Tonopah Sun says that be-
cause a sampling works is to be
built at the Mound House is no
reason why the Hazen cutoff will
not be built. The Sun says the
Tonopah railroad, nor any other
narrow gauge line, will be ade-
quate to handle a quarter of the
ore that will be offered for ship
ment from the southern country,
and that even if the so-called
CLARK road tapped that section
and the c. & c. is extended to
Mojave there will be plenty to do
for all the roads.

NATIONAL IRRIGATION.

We congratulate the people of the State of Ne
vada upon the passage of the national irrigation
law which will ultimately reclaim the arid lands
of the West, and which will within a few years
transform the desert wastes of Nevada into fruit
full homesteads. We assert that the attempt to
steal the credit of this great act for one man is
travesty fact and justice. To thousands OF
western citizens who have agitated this subject,
to the western Senators and Congressman who
for twenty FIVE years have persistently urged and
fought for irrigation legislation, and TO the engi
neers who have measured the western streams
which thread the mountains and deserts to learn
the possibilities of storage and reclamation we
give due and generous credit and the tulneSs OF
our gratitude. But above all we declare that the
ringing and insistent recommendation of Theo-
dore Roosevelt that Congress consider this sub
ject was responsible for the crystalization of all
theories and plans into the bill known the
National Irrigation Law, which was framed and
agreed to by all western Senators and Congress
men, and introduced simultaneously in the Senate
and House, and which would have failed in the
House had not Theodore Roosevelt finally
brought his great influence to bear to secure its

UNITED STATES sENAToRsHlP.

We congratulate the people of Nevada upon the
awakening of her prosperity in field and mine,
and that the hour is struck which closes quar-
ter of a century of State depression. That the
dawn has begun o. new era wherein this COM
monwealth is destined to take high rank in agri
culture the industries and mining New leaders
are called for to represent in Congress this new
spirit of State development For the Senate of
the United States the Republican party presents
the name of Hon. George 5. Nixon, as an able,
true and loyal citizen worthy of such choice, fa-
mar with and interested in the varied indus
tries of our State, and who is the first candidate
for that supreme Office presented by Nevada
convention in the past twenty years who is bona
ide resident and citizen of Nevada, and pledges
the efforts of the Republican party to use all hon
orabe means, and the votes of its members in
the State LegiSlature, to secure his election.

Mr.. B. f. Pope, the Southern
Pacific civil engineer who week
before last visited certain sections
of Churchill and Lyon counties in
the interest of his company, for
the purpose of reporting on the
feasibility of cutoff road from
Hazen to some point on the c. &
c. road, returned last week to San
Francisco to report to his superior
officers.
Mr.. Pope visited the two passes
directly south of Fallon, in Chur-
chill county, and remarked that
either could be pussed through
with little or no difficulty. He
was surprised, he remarked, at
their elevation being not near so
high as glance would indicate.
Should either of these passes be
used, Shurz would probably be
the connecting point on the c. &
c., which place is 81 miles from
HaZen.

The following was printed in a
recent issue of the Stockton Mail.
1t is part of the regular weekly
letter published in that paper
from the pen of l.. Claire Davis,
one of the most brilliant newspa-
per writers in California. AS it
happens, she was a childhood
friend of Hon. George S. Nixon,
and it is the struggle of a young
man to success which she writes
of brief pen-picture of the way
the right kind of men get on in
this country. The writer says:
II notice that the Nevada Re-
publicans have done themselves
proud by nominating for United
States Senator my old friend Geo.
S. Nixon, banker of Winnemuc-
ca.
In the halcyon days of youth
we both dwelt in Placer county,
where Mr.. Nixon was born, and
though we didn't exactly make
mud pies together, we swung on
the same garden gate, roamed over
the Placer hills gathering wild
flowers and told each other our
dreams.
The dreams of youth are long,
long dreams, but l doubt if Mr..
Nixon's longest dream at that time
encompassed anything so far away
as the United States Senatorship.
For George was not banker then,
nor a stockman, nor a capitalist,
nor any of the things the San
Francisco papers call him when,
as often happens, he drops into
the city for few days. His capi-
tai was all contained inside dome
that even then supported a good
sized hat. He was serving an APP
premiership in the railroad station
at Newcastle under good and jolly
Dan Rice, sitting in the telegraph
office late of nights and wonder
ing how long it would be before
the company would give him a
station of his own.
AT last the summons came. He
was to report for duty at Browns,
Nevada. And Browns looked a

lSTHMlAN CANAL.

We rejoice in the requirement by the United
States of sufficient isthmian territory upon which
to excavate, construct and operate commercial
canal between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans en-
tirely regulated and controlled by the govern
ment of the United States, and which will greatly
promote the industrial development of all sec
tions of the Pacific Coast and we especially re-
gret that Senator Francis G. Newlands so far for
got the substantial interests of the State of Neva
da to interpose his vote in the Senate of the
United States against the ratification of the treaty
between the United States and the Republic of
Panama in vain attempt to interdict the build
ing OF such canal

CAPITAL AND LABOR.

We submit the labor record of the Republican
party against the professions of Democracy. Re-
publicanism has built up tariff wall about this
country which gives the American markets to the
products of American labor II has in every
State where in power enacted legislation tavoring
shorter hours and sanitary conditions for labor
prohibited child labor, and passed stringent laws
for the safeguarding of the life and limb of EN-
ployes. II has, under Theodore Roosevelt, as in
the coal strike, substituted arbitration for the
bullet and bayonet of the last Democratic admin
istration in its settlement of the Pullman strike
Promising little, performing much, il has been
Dor, whom it holds as equal and concordant parts
of the nations industrial economy. The Repub-
lican party will not support capital in oppression
nor labor in violence 1t recognizes organized
labor as the unity of industrial action striving to
secure a more equitable distribution of the fruits

INVITATION TO SILVER REPUBLICANS.

Recognizing the fact that many of the most pat
riotic and progressive citizens of the State of
Nevada have for several years past cast their bal.
lots against the Republican ticket because of their
disbelief in the financial views of the national
Republican party, although being in accord with
it upon all other principles of party policy, we
now, view of the fact that there is no issue be-
tween the national parties upon the subject of
finance, cordially invite all such fellow citizens to
renew their political fellowship with and to
share with i'll the glories of our certain victory
at the coming general election.

successful conduct of business. In this State it

the Bantam Rouen, and the White Gail
duck the Bantam Pekin. The two va
rieties differ only in plumage. They
are good for pets, and are also used
as decoy ducks by duck shooters.
They are not infrequently crossed
with the Mallard duck to make them
more available as decoys. The re.
suit of such crossing are ducks that
are both tame and domestic.
One of the greatest drawbacks to
turkey raising is the loss of youna
turkeys, due to wet weather.

The Balanced Ration.

A large plantation owner of Louis.
lana, in an address delivered before
the Louisiana Live Stock Breeders as
ISOLATION, said: THE money saving
OF scientific feeding is so great as to
scarcely be believed, unless it is
brought to our own doors. The Paris
Omnibus Company, which works TO-
600 horses. and which formerly fed
Its stock solely on oats, found a saw
Ing of $9.26 per head year by the par
t1al substitution of corn for oats. On
our plantations in Assumption it was
only in August last that we began to
look seriously into the feeding of a
balanced ration, and our feed bill for
the year, for 240 head of stock.
amounted to an excess of SIC, 1000. This
year we are following to the letter q
balanced ration, and by adding to our
corn molasses and cotton-seed meal,
we will have sufficient of the former
to feed to last until our new crop is
harvested. This will be with an en-
pense of less than $4,000 for the pur-
chase of meal and molasses. Formerly
we used to feed as high as IS pounds
OF oats per day per mule, that is,
when we were out of corn, which,
withos't figuring the cost of the hay
given, in quantities of as much as
the mules would eat, brought our
cost of feed to Csc per head with oats,
at the present market value of 44c per
bushel Our present feed consists of
eight pounds of corn and cob meal, two
pounds Of cotton-seed meal, eleven
pounds of molasses and Is pounds of
peavine hay, which figures out quite
near to balanced ration with a nu.
tritive ratio of to G, at a cost of 145
cents per head, allowing &c per gallon
FOR the molasses and Sc per ton for
the peavine hay. Thus you can read.
lily see that our feed is costing us at
present about one-half as much as 1t
did formerly.

In Pasturinu Rape.

The time is here when the sheep
VIII be turned into the new rape pas.
lure In this connection few things
should be remembered. One of them
is that rape should not be the only
kind of feed given to any kind of stock
Tor several reasons. In the first place
It is very succulent, and it would be
dlfficult for a sheep to eat enough of
rape to keep it in the best of condition,
even If there was not a danger of
bloating, which there is. In all cases
there should be access to the rape and
10 pasturage at the same time The
sheep should not be turned into the
rape all at once, but should he allowed
TO eat it for only half an hour the
hrst time, then an hour, and then the
tlne may be gradually increased from
day to day. When they have become
accustomed to it, there is little danger
that they will be injured by it, provid.
ed they have access to other pasIur-
age or other feed. On the first day
the sheep are allowed access to the
rape pasture, they should receive a full
iced in the barn or shed or feed lot,
SO they will eat but lightly of the
succulent rape of which they will
show themselves at once very fond.
Rape should never be pastured very
close. If the sheep are made to de-
pend on 1t too much they will eat it
down to the ground, and it's recovery
VIII be slow, even under good con-
ditions of moisture. If, however, the
feeding is so regulated that the sheep
Will only eat off the tops and will
leave most of the stumps and some of
the leaf stems the plant will continue
to grow and develop while it is being
pastured. This is one thing greatly
in favor Of the rape plant. When
properly handled it is an enormous
producer of valuable pasturage. The
man that has had rape for a number
or years will need no advice in this
regard, but many new men are now
beginning to grow rape and to feed 1t
extensively to sheep as we'll as to
other farm stock.

Buying the Ram.

The earlier the ram is selected the
more certain the buyer is to get what
he is looking after A good many
farmers buy rams in the fall, but
wait till late before doing so. They
seldom take into consideration the
numerous delays that are likely to in.
tervene before the ram is actually DUR
cased and located on the farm. If the
buyers waits till late his order is sure
to get to the breeder at time when
the latter has other such orders to fill
II the breeder has more orders than
he can IA. he has to decline to fill
the order and the buyer has to seek
another breeder. The second breeder
may be sold out as was the first and
the buyer has to try again. All this
time the weeks are slipping away.
Then there are delays in shipping
which can never be foreseen. So it
is altogether the part of wisdom for
the buyer to take steps to secure his
ram as soon as possible.
