TO BE AMONG
THE LEADERS
Bright Future IN Store
for Churchill.

Up to the present time Chur-
chill county has been the baby"
in population and wealth among
the counties of the State, but it
will not occupy that position
much longer. Everything now
points to the rapid growth and
development of the county's re-
sources, and it is not unlikely
that in the near future Churchill
will be one of the hest counties
i'll the State. The irrigation
work in progress bids fair to
make wonderful changes down
that way. Much of the land TO
be reclaimed is in that county,
and it is generally of the finest
quality. capable of producing
almost everything that grows
in the temperate zone, and i'll
abundant quantities.
The climate of Churchill is es-
pecially fine. 1t is warmer than
in most parts OF the State and it
would seem that a little effort
would make it a great fruit
growing region. Those lands
when reclaimed will be within
easy reach of the railroad, and
there will be no lack of transport
tation facilities.
So there is no apparent reason
why Churchill county should 1t
prosper. Washoe county ex-
tends it's best wishes to its little
sister and hopes that it will soon
be a big one.-Reno Journal.

RESOURCES
OF NEVADA
A Pen Picture by Hon.
R. L. Fulton.

The following article is taken
from the advance sheets of the
Worlds Fair edition Of Nevada's
Natural and Industrial Resour-
ces, and from a paper therein,
entitled Nevada: Past, Pres
emit and Future" by Hon. R. L.
Fulton:
Nothing promises more for the
immediate future of the State
than the great irrigation enter
prise which the General Govern
ment has undertaken. The
work is we'll under way and all
the plans are public. SO that it is
easy to calculate upon the re-
suits. Since time began the
great bulk Of water which fell
from the Clouds has run idly to
waste and the parched land has
remained desert. The advent of
the white man, about forty
years ago, turned small streams
out on the rich sagebrush bench
es and in this way two and a
half or three per cent of the
floods have been put to use, the
balance going by unused.
Wherever water touched the
soil the product was SO superior
in quality and the yield SO album
dant that it became apparent
that untold wealth lay in the
bringing of the unused water
to the unused land by means of
the unused money and the un-
used labor. Nevada sent men
to Congress who made this SO
apparent that laws were passed
to create sufficient funds to be-
gin the work, and the initiation
of the grand scheme for the rec
lamation of the arid region was
fttingly given to the State of
Nevada.
The Truckee River rises high
IN the SUBMITS Of the Sierra
Nevada, one of the few regions
ofgreat snowfall upon the globe.
It's headwaters spread out like
a fan and drain about eleven
hundred square miles, concen-
trating hundreds of tributaries
into one channel just where it
crosses the line into Nevada
from the State of California.
There are many places scat
tered through the mountains
where artificial lakes can be
created to store the spring floods
and hold them until required,
and a canal fifty feet wide and
fourteen feet deep will carry the
water to a wide and rich basin
in Churchill County, where il
will reclaim several hundred
thousand acres of alluyial de.
post capable of bling brought
to the highest state of cultiva.
ton. Such is one of many op-
portunities which will bring
Nevada from the point of least
population to one several notch.
e. higher in the scale. There has
never been any complaint as to
the quality in the citizenship Of
the State. Her sons and daugh.
tiers have gone into every part
of the world and more than held
their own in all lines of human
endeavor. The worst that could
be said was that Nevada lacked
population, and it was harped
upon so loudly and so long that
many good people really began
to regard it as a stigma upon
her good name and the Scripture
was paraphrased to read, "Can
Churchill standard. (Fallon, Nev) 1903-1908, 1904-03-12

Numerous rivers can be made
the bases for irrigation systems
and the population of the State
doubled many times. The Hum
boldt River rises in the Pequops
which divides Nevada from Utah
by'a natural cutoff. 1t drains
the whole northeastern portion
of the State, carrying a big
stream 300 miles to a wide
basin west of Lovelock, where it
spreads out into a lake ten by
twenty miles and evaporates.
The Carson and Walker rise in
the Sierra and run east to. sep
arate lakes where they, too,
evaporate. On all these streams
not three per cent of the water
IS used, but splendid opportuni-
ties are found for storage. and
some day artificial lakes will
dot the landscape, preserving
the foods to make fruitful the
thousands of acres Of land now
worthless.
1t is very doubtful if there are
three other streams in America
which will furnish a greater
water power than the Truckee,
the Carson and Walker. The
Truckee alone is 100 miles long
and falls 1900 feet, running for
20 miles along the Southern Pa
cifc Railroad, thus affording
opportunities for factories and
shops all the way. Rivers and
streams are numerous, and ar
tesian water is found in many
places.
The northern lines Of the States
of Nevada and Pennsylvania
both lie on parallel AZ, while
the southern point of Nevada
touches the line of IS, which
crosses Arkansas and divides
Tennessee from Mississippi, Ala
bama and Georgia. This would
read to the inhabitants of those
States that we can raise the
wheat, apples and potatoes of
the temperate zone, with the
figs, cotton, tobacco, grapes,
peaches and peanuts of the
South, but if it gave them the
idea that the similarity of lati-
tude gave us this climate. they
would be entirely misled. The
very fact that our crops require
irrigation tells the story of lack
of rain and fog, informing the
observant reader that we have
sunshine instead of clouds and
cheerful days instead of gloomy
landscapes. Our medium eleva-
ton, too, has an immense effect
on climate. it being about mid
way between that of Colorado
and the Atlantic States, thus
giving us the light air which
conduces to comfort and longev-
ity, without the extreme cold.
Pulmonary troubles are IN
known, and strange to say no
case of hydrophobia or sun
stroke has ever been recorded.
Asthma seems to cease instantly
the air is breathed, and many OF
the ills of the crowded city or
the rainy regions are unheard
of. The State abounds in hot
springs of all degrees of temper
azure, and their sanitary virtues
are tested daily. Some of them
are lying unowned and almost
unAnown, while others are fitted
up as pleasure and health re-
sorts and are very attractive to

J RECOMMENDATION

To the Public - n = !, 5 " 81. w. =
I wish to say a few words for the ben
eft and satisfaction of my friends. It
has been rumored around that myself
and family wanted to charge the NJ. w..
A. as high as $40 to furnish music for
the Fourth OIL July celebration. Now,
to end this. I wish to say that the par.
ty who started that report has absolutely
no regard for the truth. I cannot even
say he was mistaken for there was no
dkance for mistake. {
Mr.. Woods came and engaged us to.
play for $40, and the music question was
settled; and Mr.. Wood is not a man to
deny facts. The question of the plat
form came up later and I offered to let
them use the one I have been to the
trouble to bul;d; and myself and Mr..
Oarhart talked it oyer and one of their
cammittee came to me and asked me
what it would cost. I told him was
going to Duluth and had left that with
Mr.. Carhart, and as lie was one of the
committee any arrangements made with
him would be satisfactory with myself.
Later I asked Mr.. Wood if they we're
going to serve cream for the evening
dance. He said he did not think so,
which they did not. [ said then that I
would send for some, for the people
wanted some. I did so. The outcome
of the whole thing is they hired other
music and left me in the hole for all the
trouble I went to for them and I was
told that they said if I charged anything
for the dance they would give the dance
free. Now, I did not try to dig into the
M. W. A. at all. When they got up
their dance this winter we did all we
could to help them, as we'll as other par
ties.
We did not and do not depend on
playing for dances to make living
I am aware that there are four or five
persons in this vicinity that do all they
can to injure me, but they are SO small
minded that I do not think any gentle
man ought to pay any attention to
them for do not. The old saying is
give a calf plenty of rope aud he will
hang himself.
Now I wish it understood have all
tho respect in the world for the order of
Woodmen, also for the public. I put
this item before you so you can see the
truth of the whole transaction and I
feel just as friendly to the public and
wish them all prosperity, and want them
to understand that anyone that says
that we asked one cent more than $40
to play for the M. W. A. tells an untruth
and in my opinion is poor imitation of
man. j, B. BANKER.

RAIL WAY LINE in COOK COUNTY,
Pteeon River Lumber Company Has
8 Force Of 200 Men at Work. +

* EOlCe Ol ZVV men at work. FL. Z;
Duluth News Tribune:-Word has
been received in Duluth that the con-
struction Of the railroad.to be built by
the Pigeon River Lumber company of
Port Arthur through Cook county is
now IN active progress. A force of 22O
men is engaged at grading and cutting
the right of way. The road will run
across the eastern half of Cook county
running from a point in 65-3 west
on Gunaint Lake to Big Bay on Lake
Superior. The latter point is thirty
miles east OF Grand Marais.
The Pigeon River Lumber company
is building the line through the heart of
large amount OF pine that it owns. The
timber will be rallied to Big Bay and
towed from there to the company's saw
mill at Fort William.
This is the first real step toward &C.
tual railroad construction through Cook
county, division of the state
that contains large amount. of stand
ing pine, and which is believed by some
to contain much valuable mineral. The
new road will tend to enhance the value
OF all tho timber in that county.

FOR COOK AND CHARLESJ.

A Boost for Cook County's Claim to
Legislative Representation.
Duluth Evening Herald:-Cook county
is understood to be anxious to have a
representation IN the state legislature,
after long years of patient waiting
While the population of the county is
not large, yet it has grown some of late
years. The Fifty-frst legislative district
now embraces Cook, Lake aud part of
st. Louis county.
1t is said that tho political leaders OF
Cook county, or rather the few people
that are actively interested, for Charles
j. johnson Is the political and com.
mercial head of the county, would not
think of asking for state senator, but
would be content with sending a native
to the lower branch of the lawmaking
body.
It is assumed that If any represent
alton can be secured that Charles J.
johnson will be relied on to take the
position. and with his experience in
politics and the feeling of the Cook
county people in his favor, there is
hardly any doubt that he would make a
satisfactory member, if elected.
Two candidates for representative
from the Fifty first district have already
announced themselves, N. F. Hugo, the
present member, and H. Skinner. Mr..
Hugo would not get out of the race
under any consideration, especially as he
is anxious to get the speakership of the
house the coming term.
If the Cook county people can induce
Mr.. Skinner to leave the race, they
might have a clear field. It seems to
be the general concession that there is
not room for two candidates. DR.. J.R
Budd, of Two Harbors, who was in the
house the last session, was unable to see
his way clear to run again. owing, it is
said, to Skinner's candidacy. 6 ss &.
