Earthquake Data

The earthquake commission
charged with tue duty of investi-
eating tho late California calamity
has made IA preliminary report.
From this it appears that the break
III the Garth 5 crust followed the
general line of fracture which has
occurred from time 10 time with
long intervals, and which has been
traced from Point Arena i'll Mcndo-
elmo county to Pine Mountain in
Ventura, and thence across tho
MoiaNc Desert 10 san 1aciiHo III HE
in the Colorado Desert. It MS bat
a repetition Of a phenomenon tlal
has occurred formerly alone dis
line.
The rift this time was traced for
a length of about 1S5 miles. All
the country to the southwest of the
rift slipped i'll Que direction while
the country on the other side is
thought to have moved III the OPP
posite direction. The average ag-
grcgate slip or displacement appears
to have been about ten feet hori-
zontally. In some places there was
verdical drop of one side not ex-
ceeding four teet In the imme-
diate vicinity of the rift the move
ment was so violent that treee were
uprooted, some were snapped off,
and others were split from the roots
up. Fissures were opened and
closed again, and i'll one case COW
is known to have been engulfed,
Several important observations
were made by the commission. 1t
was found, for instance, that solid
rocky hills were but slightly af-
fected, and that the substantial
buildings OH such hills sustained
very little damage. 1t was also
found that we'll constructed frame
buildings on solid ground had with
stood the shock. These obscrva-
tons, and others, should be of
practical use i'll the rebuilding of
the city. Great eare must be ex-
ercised in the choice of site, as well
as The construction of buildings in
tended to hold a great number of
people. such as hotels, theaters,
churches, etc.
The commission wisely rcfrains
from advancing theories on the
causes of the quake, and from
prophesyiug as TO the probabilities
of the future, but the opinion Is
given that the shock settled the
dislocated rocks down pretty solldly
and that it will be a long time be
fore the shrinking of the globe sets
up stresses sufficient to move them
again. This appears to be reason
able inference.

The Cubans, like their predecessors,
the Spanish, are wrangling over candi-

The Farmers Part.

at is the farmer who has not done
his part" says the New York EMAIL, "
in an editorial regarding the growth and
the possibilities of beet sugar production
in the United States. The farmer will
do his part when other people do their
parts. When the Republican party quits
monkeying with the sugar Tariff for the
benefit of Cubans and Filipinos and
gives to the American beet grower the
Protection specifically pledged to sugar
producers in national platforms for the
past ten years the farmer will do his
part. Ten consecutive years of full
Dingley Tariff Protection for America
sugar would increase cane and beet
sugar production to the full limit of the
nearly 100000 tons consumed by
Americans each year. With 20 per cent
of Tariff reduction in favor of Cuban
sugar, % per cent. reduction in favor
of Philippine sugar and 100 per cent
reduction for the Filipino il Secretary
Tatt's Free Trade bill should go through
1t Is no wonder that the American
farmer has not rushed more rapidly into
beet growing. Assured perm .nency Of
Protection for his product will induce
the farmer to do his part Nothing else
will.

up large amounts of orders While
granite manufacturers are busy with
orders on hand, spring business is COM
ing in slowly but not more so than is
usual at this season Of the year. Over
all manufacturers also report recorders
coming in slowly and attribute this to
huctuatlng prices in cotton goods. Lum-
Der dealers are busy with preparation for
winter cutting; demand continues good.
Creameres report falling off in supply of
milk and cream but not more than is to
be expected at this season of the wear.

for the week. Collections generally are
fairly good, although in granite business
they are slow and good many notes with

south of Ely, and supplies power for
the electric light plant. This water
right passed into the hands of the Ne
vada Consolidated with the purchase
of the old Chairman property. The
Duck creek water will be used at the
big smelter at McGill IS ranch, north
east of Ely, which is being constructed
by the Nevada Consolidated and the
Cumberland-Ely.
The Campbell water right and ranch
near McGll's have been bonded for
$4,000 by DR.. E. L. R. Wallace of
Ely. Heusser's ranch, across Steptoe
valley from McGill s, has been bonded
by M. M. johnson of Salt Lake. 1t is
understood that he was acting in the
interest of Messrs. Craig and Evans
of the Federal-Ely company, although
it is known that Mcssrs. Richard and
Meyers of the United Ely were anx-
ious to secure this ranch.
The Butte and Ely company some
time ago sent H. S. Wales, then it's
general manager, to Lund and Preston
to buy, if possible, the water rights
there. 1t was a stupendous undertake
ing. He succeeded in purchasing the
water right of Bishop O. H. Snow of
the Mormon church, in Water canyon,
eight miles from Preston, but could &C
compiish nothing more. Some time af-
terward, Michael Leggett was sent
there by the company. He, too, was
