got the impression that he had a COM

ing to explain everything that to the

gagged in This work for twenty years
and he brings to his present work the
advantage of all these years of practice
al experience.
Somehow or other whenever | meet
a man of this kind, | am always i'm
pressed with the character of the pro-
fession. man may be more or less Il
success in any other profession and
possess only limited talents, not so with
the civil engineer. He must have
brains, and of the highest quality, or
he must fail. l always feel like tax
ing my hat off to the civil engineer.

courage that fears nothing. 1t is the

and courage of the highest quality.
Around lfallon is where most of the
filing is being done. The settler can
find just as good land further up the
river, and much CLOSER to the railroad,
but very few claims have been taken
along the route from Hazen to Fallon.
l do not know why this is. unless it is
because the settlers want neighbors,
and prefer the proximity of a village
to nearness to railroads. But there are
plenty of opportunities all along the
river, and at Fallon too. The people
are tlocking in taking up claims. but
thousands of claims are left, and many
now taken, will for some reason or
other be abandoned.
No clearing is necessary. OF course
you have got to level your land before
YOU can turn on the water, and level
ing means pulling up the brush and
cutting down the hummocks. Your
land, to set best results. must be as
smooth as floor. This leveling is
done with two strong horses, and two
short railroad rails about twelve feet
long. They are tied parallel about
twelve inches apart A strong horse
is then hitched to each end. With this
all the brush are pulled up by the
roots and on the larger hummocks you
must use a scraper.

Tho Rural Carriers Dream.

"A carrier lay on his little co.,
His nerves were shattered, his head

He was thinking now of his bill of

OF his wardrobe and his salary spare,
When Satan appeared with a naughty
And threw his rhyme machine in gear,
And says: Young man am attef
you,
Our stock of carriers is very few"
The carrier cried: "Oh, let me go.
My insurance bills aint paid. you
know
But Satan said: you may question
If 1 can't answer, then you go free"
The carrier lay in fearful mood;
pray lengthen my pay and shorten
my road"
And Satan said two words in one:
"That bill was passed and the deed
was DONE"
One question more-now do your
II you miss it-then you know the
rest"
The carrier felt he was sealing his
fate:
sCan. you kick higher than a patron
whose mail is late?'
The carrier awoke-the way was
clear;
The rhyme machine was out of gear.
Old Satan was gone to his den to
rest,
And the carrier will go to the land
of the blest.
He lay as before on his little cot
His bones were aching, his head was
hot:
He was thinking now of his bond
and bail
He. knew it was time to start out with
the mail.
