The BuIIfrOg Bonanza.

The awakening of Southern Nevada
seems little short of marvellous. This
is written in the town of Beatty on the
Amargosa river right in the heart of
the now famous Bullfrog district, in
the southern patt of Nye county, and
the only OASIS in this immense desert.
Less than one year ago there were
living between Thorp's mill, thirty.fiv i've
miles north Of here, and Montgomery,
fifty miles south, just three families,
and they were those of M. M. Beatty,
after whom this town was named,
G. W, Howell, who has a small ranch
ten miles up the river, and "Panamint
Joe" a Shoshone Indian and, a few OF
his tribe who were csmped a short
distance above Howell's. Today there
are within this radius of eighty.fV
miles certainly not less than 1000
people; there are the towns Rhyolite.

A Missouri Success.

Jefferson City Tribune;
We note with pleasure the large
number Of counties which have adopt
ed RAIDERS Devised Civil Government
and History o Missouri for use in the
public schools. Out Of l04 counties
which have adopted school books SO
have adopted that book. No other
book on the subject of Civil Govern
ment has been adopted In more than
four counties. In faGS, there is no
other book that contains an adequate
treatment Of both National and State
Government. Besides, this book
contains the only real school history
of Missouri ever written. 1t is,
besides, the only book now in use IN
the public schools that was both
written by a M~issourlan and is
published by a Missouri publishing
house The old edition OF the book
gave fairly good satisfaction, but the
Revised book is SAID to be a far better.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that IS by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed
condition Of the mucous lining of the
Eustachisn Tube. When this tube IS
infiamed you have q rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to It's
normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out OF
ten are caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an inismed condition Of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (csused by
catarrh) that connot be cured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,

ALASKA AN EMPIRE in ITSELF
A Few Comparisons Bring Into Relief
the Size of Our Arctic
Territory.

Do you know that Nome, Alaska, is 300
miles west of Honolulu? Do you know
that Alaska has almost two and a half
times as much coast line as the rest of
the United States?
II you start from Seattle and go up the
coast through 400 miles of Canadian in
land waters to the Portland canal you
will come to that imaginary line that the
Alaskan boundary commission decreed as
the place where Alaska begins. This in
land sea is very like the fiords of the coast
of Norway, and destined in time to be-
come one of the worlds great pleasure re-
sorts; and when you know this region
you will deplore the lack of diplomacy
which lost us this picturesque coast line
and left the Alaska of today detached
territory. In very truth the cry of 1916
of $40 or fight was right.
At the Portland canal Alaska begins
and, as you sail up the 1000 miles of this
wonderful inland sea, OF scenic beauty and
grandeur surprising anything in the world
you are in southeastern Alaska, which In
cludes the islands along the coast and the
mainland from the shore line to the sum-
NIT OF the coast range as far north as
Mount St. Elias. From the summit of this
high peak the boundary line between
Alaska and British Yukon territory runs
directly north to the frozen ocean," as the
old Russian treaty called It.
The territory of Alaska is about equal
10 the combined states OF Michigan, In
diana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota
North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Ne
braska, Kansas. Missouri and Kentucky
Maps are deceptive for comparison, unless
they are drawn TO the same scale, and un-
fortunately maps of Alaska are generally
drawn TO small scale. But put Alaska
on the United States and II will extend
from Savannah Ga, 10 Los Angeles. Cal
The climatic conditions differ as greatly as
those Of North Dakota differ from those
OF Florida. The mean annual tempera-
ture OF Sitka is about the same as that OF

FORMAL ACTION COMES THIS AFTERNOON

The city council will meet this after
noon to fix the tax levy for 1905, and 1t
does not look as II there will be any change
from the figures decided upon at the meet
ing last Wednesday. The aldermen fail
TO see, 1t is said, where any cut can be
made in the amount decided upon at the
last meeting, and a total levy of 42IA mills
will. it is expected, be certified up TO the
county auditor today. A levy of 42l9 mills
will be an increase OF 61a mills over that
for 1904.
Two mills Of the increase is due to the
city council deciding to levy this amount
for the sinking fund for the purchase or
construction OF a water plant, such au-
thorty being given 1t uuder the ordinance
passed last Monday While this authority
is given the city council by this ordinance,
there are some who are inclined 10 the
opinion that the city council should have
waited before levying this tax until the
proposition TO purchase or construct a
water plant has been favorably voted on
| by the people at special election at
which the proposition must be submitted

ciaI election being deferred until next year
and the vote Of the people being against
