SAND
The Track on the Journey of
Life Needs Sanding

I observed a locomotive in the yards
house, where the locomotives stay; 1t was
painting for the journey, it was coaled
and fully manned; it had a box the fire.
man was filling full of sand. 1t appears
that locomotives cannot always get grip
on their slender iron pavement, because
the wheels are apt to slip. and when they
reach slippery spot their tactics they
command. and to get grip upon the rail
they sprinkle on the sand. It's about this
way with travsl along life slippery
track; If your load is rather heavy ano
you're always slipping back. SO If a COM
mon locomotive you completely under
stand. you'll provide yourself on starting
with good supply of sand. If your track
grade, and If those who've gone before
you have the rails quite slippery made
If you ever reach the summit of the upper
table land. you'll find you'll have to do
SO with good supply of sand. You may
get to any station that's on life's sched-
ule seen, If there's a fire beneath the
boiler of ambitions strong machine and
you will reach a place called Flushtown
at a rate of speeo that's grand, II for all
the slippery places you've a good supply
of sand.

DEFEATED THE LAW
Convict Woods Hanged Himself
in Folsom Prison

John III. Woods, one of the men who
made their escape from the Folsom, CAL,
prison in 1903 and committed murder by
shooting one of his pursuers and was at
terward arrested in a barber shop in
Reno, has committed suicide by hanging
in his cell at Folsom. He was found sus-
pended by rope made of bed ticking.
He was waiting for the sentence of death
to be pronounced. Woods evidently con-
cluded to defeat the law and take his own
life. He was desperate character and
is better dead than alive. Miller, another
one of the escapes, was seen on the iron
bridge in Reno and several shots were
exchanged between him and the Reno
officers. but Miller made his escape from

SUGAR REFINERY
Investigating Profit of Establish
ing one in Nevada

Mr.. H. Nishryama and r. Nakahata,
two expert Japanese sugar beet produc-
ers, have visited Sparks to look into the
project of a sugar refinery for Nevada.
They have been cultivating about 1900
acres near Salt Lake, which produced
eight to twelve tons per acre, averaging
10000 tons or more. 1t takes about five
Japs for each 100 acres and the cost is
SIS per acre for labor and 81 for seed. .
The refinery pays $3.50 for ton OF
beets, which produces on an average OF
400 pounds of sugar, worth cents a
pound or SIG a ton. The cost of beets
from an acre, eighteen tons, s45, and the
value of the sugar sl6O. This is reckon
ing the percentage of sugar in the beets
at 20 per cent.
1t will be seen from these figures that
there is an immense profit for the re
finery. 1t is no wonder the sugar kings
rule the world.
1t is to be hoped that the capital &c
build a refinery, about $200,0ce, may be
raised and one erected at Sparks or Love
lock.

year or two. He went from Reno to San
Francisco and in time was promoted to

After going to New York he gained new
fame and. it is hoped. something of ma

Arthur McEwen needs room to breathe
in and write mellow room-and he will
get it. too. even IL he has to shake up
some of the old traditions and send the
sleepy office cat flying out of the window
and over roofs. For virility is the distin-
gushing characteristic of the work from
McEwens pen. There is swing to his
sentences as impressive as the measured
tread of a passing regiment He goes at
everything in large way. He does not
waste his time striving for effects" Ills
style is simply that of man whose
English is perfect. who has something to
say, and says it in the most natural and
therefore most effective way. Occasional

thing McEwen delights in more than an
other. it is to speak out, even though his
candor shocks. McEwen is a product of
Nevada and California, as much as ar
their pines, and he is about as submissive
to restraint as big trees when the wind
blows
Arthur McEwen is one of the jolliest of
the jolly fellows, and once in a while ne
used to get little. too much of the .oh,
be joyful. At one time McEwen and
Ambrose Bierce, the cynical writer who
can see no good in anything or anybody,
were out on a time one night in San
Francisco. The next morning Berce was
particularly sour and said to McEwen:
Mac, l wonder how it is that everybody
hates me so cordially. while you they
seem to like?' McEwen looked at Bierce
for moment, then said: THE reason Is
this, Bierce: You are sour and often un-
kind Were you to visit the most beau
ttiful flower garden that ever grew and
blossomed you would only see the dress
ing around the roots and your eyes would
never look above to see what the dressing
produced"

The Nye County Seat bill has been passed
in the Assembly dt had already passed

There is a good deal of talk in regard
to amending the revenue laws by adopt
ing the lump sum" system, which means
In a certain amount to the State Treas
urer and that no State tax rate shall be
fixed. The idea of this is simply to
sess each county a proportionate amount,
based on the revenue derived from the
county for the five years next preceding
This law is new to many and at first
workings, yet as a matter OF fact, when
understood. 1t is very simple. The idea
is to proportion the amount of revenue
for the support of the State government
among the various counties in proportion
to their resources or assessed valuations
Under this law valuations can be in
creased and the tax rate lowered
At present the tax rate for o,ate pur-
poses is fixed BY legislative enactment at,
for instance, 70 or so cents per annum,
then the levy is made by the respective
Boards of County Commissioners for
county purposes. Under the system now
in vogue. II an Assessor raises the valu
alton. the county necessarily pays Iarg
er amount TO the State and In some cases
a disproportionate amount of the State
government expense. The lump sum
method will provide that each county
shall be assessed given amount to ap-
ply to the State expense and the same
to be paid to the State Treasurer The
Board of County Commissioners will then
make the annual levy. SO that this
amount will be covered and such add
tional revenue as will be needed to main
tain the county expense. Valuation may

the Episcopal clergy OF the diocese OF New
Hampshire have made preliminary arrange
ments for the formation of an association
which will have for its ultimate object the
union of the Anglican church with the orth-

churches of the east. The organization is
the outgrowth of the thanksgiving service
at Christ church. Portsmouth. which fol-
lowed the signing Of the treaty of peace
between Russia and Japan and at which
priests of the Episcopal and Russian
churches of1ciated.
The new organization will follow the
lines Of the Eastern Church association"
OF the Church Of England. and will have
branches in all dioceses OF the Episcopal
church in this country II the plans OF the
promoters are successful. It is said that
within the last half dozen years the rela-
tions between the Russian and Episcopal
churches have been growing closer but un-
I'll the Thanksgiving evensong held at Ports
mouth there had been no general participa
tion in service by both Russian and Episco-
pal priests.
