home $500 when he won with Dashaway
and $4,000 on the last race.
II know jockey systems are about the
worst there are. but with Miller it's diff
ferent. In the first place he is a really
good jockey. In the second place he has
the powerful backing of a steward Of
the Jockey club, and in the third, and
this / consider the real key to his sue
cess, he has the money-malling faculty
bred in him, coming from his ancestors
as far back as you can trace him.
This faculty, one of the most val
liable person can possess in these siren
uous times, keeps Miller absolutely
straight and makes him try every time.
He knows that he could get large sum
for doing crooked work in a few races,
but he also knows that as a crooked
jockey he would last but a short time.
He is shrewd enough to realize that
trying all the time he is likely to last
many years, and that his total winnings
will far exceed what he might make by
crooked work.
This is the main reason why I follow
Miller | know he is always trying, and
when you get a jockey of that kind it
pays to follow him. I you don't believe
me. come up to my house tonight I have
a whole house, dear, now, and | will show
you a bank book that will open your
ewes"

Irrigation In Nevada.

From the Outing Magazine.
The irrigation work of the national gov
eminent has made its first great conquest
in this same Nevada. Into this parched
sand and sagebrush the water was turned
last year from the works of the Carson
and Truckee project" 1t was the most
important event in the history of the
state. Of more lasting value even than the
discovery of the Comstock lode. From
the massive masonry dam constructed TO
hold the waters of the Truckee river the
blessed flow was turned over 10000 acres.
This was the first completed section Of
a plan which is to irrigate almost a mill
lion acres of desert This means within
a few years, fifty-acre farms for 1900
families, on which they are certain of
large and profitable crops. 1t means also
new towns and cities to supply this great
farming community with the products of
the mills and mines and factories of the
country, east and west.
More than that. 1t means new popula-
ton of perhaps 100000 souls and prosper

High Prices in Japan.

This is a time of high prices In Japan.
The cost of everything has advanced
enormously. The rates of five or ten
years ago are recalled with regret. Rents
and wages have advanced proportionately.

for 45 or 80 yen (22.50 or $3.50 few years
ago now cost 80 or 100 yen. and the wages
Of domestic servants are approximately
double what they were formerly. Taxes
have been enormously increased-the in

1t was before the Russo-Japanese war
and the tobacco monopoly has exactly
doubled the cost of even the most ordi-
nary cigarette.

De BardeIeben Purchase.

The announcement of the heavy pur-
chase of mineral lands in the southern
mart of the county, in the neighborhood
of Kimbrell by H. F. DeBardeleben ana
associates has started the usual discussion
and speculation as to the plans OF the
purchasers In regard to the property.
The land Is said to contain valuable
deposits of both red and brown ore and
coal and the possibilities for extensive
mining are unusually favorable Should
the new owners care to develop the prop
ertv fully, the section in question Will be-
come one of the richest in the dlstrlft.

Commendable Feature.

another commendable feature of our

Bessemer. July 2S.-(Special.)-The semi
annual report of the Bessemer postoffice
for the first six months Of the present
year shows a gain in business over the
same period of last year amounting TO
s956.61. DR.. G. p Lewis. the postmaster
expresses great satisfaction at the good
increase and the fine showing that the
office is making generally.
During the first six months of 1905, the
total business Of the office amounted to
$5919 S. During the same period of the
present year, the amount was 20 The
registration business during the first six
months of 1905 was $1274 as against $685.
for the same length of time for the
present year The money order business
shows an increase over the correspond
ing months of last year of about per
cent AS one more example in figures, K
is shown that the month of June of the
present year marks an increase in the
total business of the office of $904.2O over
the same month of 1905. These gains all
show that the Bessemer postoffice is
steadily forging to the front among the
offices of its class.
One new clerk has been added to the
force of the local office since the first of
July, making a total of five men outside
