The Whole Show.

One day last week Governor
van SAINT and Judge Jamison, OF
Minnesota, visited the state fair

went into certain church res

recognized, Of course, and shown
all possible attention, but just as
they were about 10 begin eating
both were surprised as well as
amused to hear the barker out
side the tent shout as he swung
his bell back and forth vigorous
ly: Step right this way to get
your nice, warm lunch. Only
chance YOU will have to see the

And it wasn't long before the
place was crowded, while the
blushing governor and his mod

Lake Paved With Gold.

Mayo Lake, adjacent to Stew.
art river in British Yukon, is be-
lieved to be paved with gold. How
to secure the gold is the problem
now confronting mining engineers.
Five rich gold bearing creeks drain
into Mayo lake. Fer centuries they
have been sweeping their golden de-
posts into the lake, The shores Of
the lake were prospected this sum-
ner and were found to contain gold
in paying quantities, but all at
tempts 10 sound bottom have been
failures. The lake seems to lie in
a great crater OF such depth as to
make gravity drainage impossible.
1t is much deeper than Stewart
river and is waters could not be
carried of in that great natural
artery. The lake is twenty miles in
length and about two miles wide.
Soundings at the mouth of Ledge
creek failed to find bottom after
reaching depth of 600 feet. The
Ottawa government will be asked
to investigate. Stewart river min
crs believe he lakes bottom would
produce more gold than the entire
klondike,

Where the Women Rule.

A remnant Of the Sevis tribe Of
Indians inhab:ts the island Of Tibu-
ron in the Gulf Of California, and
is ruled enirely by the women.
Formerly the tribe numbered about
5000, but is now shrunk TO a few
hundred living life Of almost conf
plcte isolation and refusing to inter
marry with any Of the Indians of
the mainland. Food and fresh wa
ter are scarce on Tibhron, but what
is left of the tribe is healthy and
vigorous and has always maintained
its independence, fighting valiantly
for it when necessary. The women
are master of the household, and a
council of nlatrons is at the head
of public affairs, the men having
no voice in them They have a
nominal chief, who is a man, but
he has no authority and any as
sumption of it would bring the wo-
men about his ears Xix" nest Of
hornets. It does not say much for
ire wisdom OF female government
that the tribe is rapidly dying off,
but il would probably be no better
with men at the head OF its incon-
siderable, but rather interesting at
fairs.

A Relic OF Herodotus.

Recent excavations on the site OF
ancient Naucratis on the delta OF

among other things. a possible relic
of Herodotus, to whose description
of the luxurious Greek settlement
we owe most OF Our knowledge of

part OF the fifth century B. c. The
relic in question is the base of a

An Independent Canada.

Canada is certainly old enough
and large enough and rich enough
to take care of herself, and to make
a good figure among the nations OF
the earth. She has population OF
800, 900, exceeding that OF Hol-
land or of Sweden, and an area OF
100000 square miles, much of 1t
unexplored, but known to contain
vast riches in furs, timber, miner
ais and fisheries, besides agricul-
tural lands of great extent and pro-
duct;veness, Her population is COM
posed of Anglo Saxon and Nor
man-French stock, fit to compete
with the best races in ancient or
modern times. She possesses all
the qualities and the material adj
vantage that go to the up-building
OF a proud and resourceful nation.
ii she were to assert her independ-
ence, she would detract nothing
from the real strength of the mother
country.
That England would offer any
objection to the separation, if Can
ada should really desire it, is not
to be supposed. In 1870, while the
Alabama negotiations were in pro-
gress. she tried to push Canada out
of the empire. but the latter de-
clined to go If she wishes to go
now, she will find her pathway
lined with roses. She can depend
upon the United States also, as the
Halifax Chron; lie suggests. to con-
struc the Monroe doctrine literally
for their defense against European
encroachment.

Bio immigration OF Italians.

have come to this country. This
immigration has a very peculiar
character. Until 1890 the percent
age Of women was less than IS, but
now il has increased to 20. This in
dicates that the immigration has a
marked tendency 10 become perman-
ent. Thirty per cent or more Of
Italian adults who have been in this
country more than ten years went
back at least once to Italy, and 80
per cent of these came to this coun-
try again, bringing their families
with them. During the time in
which the family is not here the men
send some money weekly to Italy.

Sugar Beet Culture.

In an address before the acad-
emy of science of the University
of Nevada a few days since. Pro-
fessor Wilson clearly pointed out
how the greater part of this
state is adapted to the raising
of sugar beets, and how the
farmers would make handsome
profit on their land in this line
of agriculture.
In this statement there is much
food for reflection for the farmers
of Churchill county. An analy-
I sis of the soil has proven that it
is particularly adapted to the
growing of sugar beets. Our
climate is also an important
factor. With the possible excep-
ton of Lincoln county, our eli
mate surpasses that of any
other county in Nevada.
The STANDARD would like to
see the farmers of this section
band themselver together in one
large concern and erect a coop
erative sugar refinery along the
same lines as did the farmers of
Carson Valley when they organ
lied the Douglas County Cream
cry, and which institution has
been a dividend payer from the
start. A sugar refinery here can
do the same. We SHOULD be
pleased to hear the views of 9TH
ers on this question.
