Teal Duck

"D.d you know that teal duck is not
iesh?" inquired one of party of gen
-emen who were discussing the high
price of fish since the Lenten season
ct In. Its a fact The teal duck is
iot flesh. even If it is a fowl. 1t is the
same as winged and feathered fish.
and any good Catholic can safely eat
one for fish during the Lenten season
Or on any Friday. l did not know this
was fact until few days ago, when
| happened to be a guest at a lunch
een whe. eat sat one OF the great dig
.l-taries of Catholic church. II was
On Friday and was astounded when
teal duck was served at every plate.
But knew that there were good Cath
oiics there and that one of the arms
Of the church government, in fact.
sat at the same table and had a duck
loie him. so l said nothing just al
hat time.
After the luncheon l thought over
the matter and puzzled my mind lo
know why a teal duck COULD be eaten
on Friday when mallard would be
under the ban of the church. For tha,
reason | asked a good 4. lend of mine
wAo Is pastor of one of the churches
sie gave me the explanation. He in
formed me that teal duck was no.
desh any more than trout or a min
now. The teal is the same as a turtle
or an egg. neither fish nor flesh. And
there is good reason for this, too, when
you come 10 analyze the peculiar hab-
its and tastes of the teal This little
duck will not feed on anything bu,
ash, or Little things of that so,t that
live In the water. That accounts foi
The teal having such strong fish
taste. He lives on minnows and small
ash altogether. On the other hand
the mallard eats grain. such as wild
rice. corn. wild grasses or the seeds
thereof. besides feeding. as does the
teal. on minnows and small fish But

knights Hold a Reception

Ivanhoe lodge, Knights of Pythias,
met last evening in their castle hall
and conferred the rank of knight on
Clifford, who is making his annual
visit to the various lodges of the state,
was preset and expressed himsef as
being well satisfied with the manner
In which the work was given. Mr..
Clifford, whose home Is in Austin, has
so far officially visited the lodges at
Austin, Battle Mountain, Elko. Wells,
gone to Tuscarora, but the roads were
in such condition that he thought best
to delay his visit until next month.
From here he goes to Lovelock, Wads-
worth, Reno, Fallon, Verdi, Carson,
Virginia City and Tonopah. the entire
trip consuming from four to six weeks.
He reports all the lodges visited in
in all the time. He is especially
pleased with the showing made by
Tvsnhoe lodge. which has conferred
the rank of knight eight times since
last October. and at present has one
candidate for that rank and two for
the rank of page. The local members
are all enthusiastic and are working
hard to put their lodge as close to the
front rank as possible.
After the ceremonies of the evening
were concluded. the lodge adjourned
in a body to the Fashion restaurant.
where they were seated to a bounteous
repast, which was enlivened by
speeches and toasts from all present.
1t is said that the remarks made by
Dave LaPoint were the cream of the
evening.
Ivanhoe lodge has been having an
unusual number of visitors of late
The members are very proud of this
fact, and want all sojourning knights
to feel that they are more than well
come at all times.
The banquet was rather q surprise
to Mr.. Clifford. he having no idea
that such preparations had been
made for his reception. The proprie
tor of the Fashion cafe proved himself
a caterer of ability.

A GREAT FUTURE
INDUSTRY
Prof. Wilson Has Great Con-
fidenCe in Sugar Be ct
Culture for Nevada

The Orchard and Farm publishes
the result of exhaustive experiments
made by Prof. N. E. Wilson, vice di-
rector and chemist of the Nevada ex-
pertinent station. who says:
For eight successive seasons, from
1891 to 1899, the Nevada experiment
station conducted series of exhaust
i've experiments with the sugar beet.
with the object in view of ascertain
ing whether the conditions of soil and
climate prevailing in Nevada are
suited to the culture of beets contain
ing sufficient sucrose to be of use COM
merc.ally in the manufacture of sug-
ar. A large portion Of the state-in
fact ell of the northern and western
parts-lie within the thermal area
suitable to beet culture. Within this
area. also. is found major portion nf
the agricultural lands of the state;
and 1t was to these areas that our in
vestigations were confined. The first
seasons work went far to show what
could be dcne. although the minute
details of practical cultivation as ap-
by no means we'll understood at the
time, and It was a difficult matter to
get the ranchers who were co-operat-
ing with the station to understand
that the beet of sugar production Is
not that of great size and weight like
the prize pumpkin at the county fair.
Each seasons experiment, however.
brought Improvements in these mat
ters, and the results of each succeed
ing season were more gratifying than
those of the preceding.
The locality giving the best results
we have found to be the Lovelock val
ley. The soil of this valley is pecui-
formed by the growth and decay of
tules. which have been covered by sed-
iment. thus forming alternate layer
after layer of decayed tules and sedi-
mentary silt to a great depth. In one
instance borings have been made to a
depth of 4s0 feet. showing the same
formation the entire distance. The soil
is free from rock and is very friable
ard porous. thus affording an excel
lent opportunity for the beet to go
down into the SOIL resulting in an
ideal shape with no side roots. Many
of the samples from this section were
{ ON eighteen to twenty-seven inches
in length and in fine proportion other
wise. The valley contains at least
100000 acres of good beet land, and
from 10000 to 10000 acres could un-
doubtedly be secured for beet growing

ufacture of the product.
The water of the Humboldt river
would be suitable for factory pur-
poses. but would need filtration most
of the year. Lime rock is present In
abundance in close proximity. The
Linton quarry near Wadsworth also
supplies a good quality of rock. The
fuel question is the great question of
this section but could undoubtedly be
arranged The mines of Utah and
Wyoming are the nearest supply of

JAPS ESTABLISHED
IN KOREA
Large Army Moving and An
other in Resers e. Ready
to Defend Position

A Shanghai special to the Reno Ga
zette says:
A letter received from Kobe. Japan,
says the japanese government has
260. .000 troops in motion and fully 10000
more under arms in grrisons and at
the dapots.
These numbers are exclusive of the
Third reserves numbering 10000.
which have not been called to the COL
ors. The exact number Of troops
which have left Japan for their vari
Gus destinations is not known, but the
entire first army has been landed and
has established itself in Northwestern n
Korea, with Its main base at Chin
ampho.
The general staff still ca efully
guards the plan of campaign, but il is
generally believed they win operate
three armies. each nominally number
ing 100000 men, the second army land
ing west of the Yalu river, and the
third army west of New Chwang.
Much Japanese artillery is depart
ing for the front. The guns seem
light. but it is believed that the Jap
enese have a number Of heavier bat
teries,. equal in range to the best Eu-
ropean field artillery.
Japan also possesses a large number
excellent mountain batteries, which
in rough country will have a distinct
advantage over the Rassians.
1t seems certain that Vice-Admiral
Il;
of the Russian fleet at Port Arthur has
delayed the Japanese land operations.
A general thaw is now proceeding
in Korea and Manchu ia, rendering
the country roads impossible and
making It impossible to conduct gen.
eral military operations until the
ground hardens.
The landings of the latter two ar
mes will be easily accomplished. for
the light cruiser squadrons can pro-
tect both movements.
1t is thought that the landing of a
heavy Japanese force west of the
mouth of the Yalu will force the Rus
SLAMS to abadon the fortifcations
which they have been erecting north
or the falu river TOR tie purpose OF
opposing the crossing of the first ar
my of the Japanese from Korea.
1t is also anticipated that the three
great Japanese forces will operate In
conjunction. the third army swinging
eastward of New Chwang. seizing or
cutting the railroad ard then engag-
ing I'm q turning movement against
the main Russian position.
The Japanese are confident that the
Russians will be unable to transport
supplies sufficient to maintain in Man
churia force larger than 100000 men.
The heavy detachments necessary IL
guard the railway and supply base
viii. it Is claimed. reduce the Russian
fighting force to about 200 900 men.
The Japanese are requisitioning
thouands of horses and il is probable
that a considerable detachment OF
cavalry win accompany each army.
Though the horses of the japanese
seem inferior to the Russians. the
japanese officers say they will salts
factosily accomplish the work planned
for them.

What is Going on in and

Washington, d. c., April Especial
Correspondence The Silver State. -
Some of the democratic leaders have
announced that one of the issues to
be discussed by them on the stump
during the coming campaign will BE-
the republican policy of high pro.
tective tariff. Ii is evident. as was
proclaimed at the beginning of this
session of congress, that the present
tariff will not be disturbed, and
whether the public wishes for a new
arrangement of it's schedules Is a fact
to be determ ned largely by the result
of the pending p. esidential election
There may be modification. and quite
likely reciprocity. at least with Can
ada, viii be arranged: but 1t is ex-
t.emely unlikely that the voters will
entrust this delicate and important
task to the democratic party. The
slight taste of free trade which the
people got under the Wilson bill, III
the days of Cleveland. has left an ex-
eeedingly bitter taste In the mouth

matter before 1t for readjustment.

can people have been so great and
wonderful duiing the era of prospe. ity
that the products OF all kinds of iabor.

outgrown the home demand, and If the
prevalent production is TO continue
