Thanksgiving Proclamation

In the providence of God, the energy
of the people and the assistance from
outside investors, the State of Nevada
has prospered during this year beyond
all p%recedents.
Our populati on and wealth have
greatly increased, mainly through world
wide attention to our mineral belts,
and we willingly concede their vast and
steadily increasing wealth. Nevada,
however, is also rich in the possession of
hundreds of acres, with soil as fertile
as can be found on the globe n govern
ment water-storage system complete
with canals and laterals, which secure a.
home t the homeseeker and all other
branches OF business equality thriving
and prosperous, inviting all who may
so desire, to engage in the various bust
ness pursuits, with assurance OF comfort,
contentment and peace, which prevail
within the borders Of this great com
monwealth.
In view of this condition and a custom
long established, setting apart a day
each year for Thanksgiving and prayer
to the Ruler OF the Universe for the
many favors and mercies 1%ouchsafed,
Thursday, the Goth day Of November,
1906, is therefore designated THANKS.
GIVING DAY and it is recommended
that it be observed by the people OF the
State in a name complying with the
proclamation OF the President OF the
United States.
1t is also recommended that the poor
and needy be amply remembered by
gifts from those whose means will allow,
and that the day be passed by friendly in
~tercourse between relatives, friends and
neighbors, to the pleasure Of all, anG
and honor to the State.

This is a day of prosperity for Nevada
and one of the accompanying conditions
is high charges for every form of utility.
Not only do railroads charge all HAT the
traffic will bear, but telephone compan-
les and express companies have fallen
in line in Il manner that would prove at
once their versatility. Re-actionery con-
ditions always follow flush conditions
and now is an opportune time to call
the attention of the states legislators to
the faet that remedial legislation of
various kinds is needed.

RAISE HOGS.

The Churchill county farmer, for
some unknown reason, is neglecting the
breeding of hogs. The county has with
in its confines a number OF progressive
and promising mining camps, that will
be added to regularly as the mining
lections are prospected and mines un-
covered, and they constitute al urgent
xome market, and yet the Churchill
.ounty farmers do not raise a 1.-THE OF
the hogs necessary to supply this pres
mt and profitable home demand.
There is Eo region on earth more ad-
mirably adapted to the raising of swine
han Churchill county; nor is there a
region where they can be raised cheaper
or sold higher then they can in u
home market.
We hear a great deal OF the profits of
eheepraising. and the average Churchill
county farmer is probably N of the
people WHO envy the annual receipts of
the Nevada sheepmen, and yet this very
farmer has at the back door OF his
farm house, the side doors of his stables
and the bars of his stock c%orrals, a
greater awaiting and unimproved profit
than hat Of the sheepman, for a hog,
selling at from SIS to $25, represents
more net money than the profit pro-
duced 10y any Delaine or Ramboillet
thoroughbred under the sun,
In producing a hog, the farmer is not
oat of pocket more than forty per cent
of the money value of the hog, or its
farm produce equivalent, for the food
necessary to the fattening OF il hog for
actual market, the hog doing its W
roofing for the other half.
The usual alfalfa field for pasturage;
a little rye; a little barley daily buckets
OF slop from the kitchen a few gallons
of skinned milk and the farmer has a
finished $50 product for guaranteed
market sale.
As has been pointed out time and
again in these columns, trainload after
trainload OF hogs find their way into
Nevada from eastern states; the pro-
gressiye eastern farmer, the train com
pany, and ubiquitous and usurious
middleman all making their profits
from these shipments. All OF these
profits combined could 90 into the
pockets OF the local farmers, could they
find the time and disposition to become
hog r~aisers. They should bear in mind
that they are living in one the greatest
natural hog producing regions on the
globe. Here, hogs fatten easily and
and quickly and cheaply and hog chol-
era or any other porcine disease is
unknown.
Heavy Churchill county finance is
awaiting residence in the heavy
Churchill county hog.
The Churchill Standard is in a posi-
ton to say that if the farmers OF
Churchill county would take more in
terest in hog raising, capital would find
its way here at once and establish a
modern packing plant. With tire re-
cent Packington disclosures still fresh
in our minds, who is there among us
who would not patronize IA home in
dustry OF this nature? Fallon is going
to have a good, large packinghouse
some OF these days. Just how soon, is
going to be determined by the man
who produces-the farmer. Ii he wants
to make the easiest money OF his life
time, he should bestir himself and make
friends with the hogs.

That the sum Of work of the

be a declaration for I5-cents cot
ton with reduction in the form Of
diversifcation, was practically set
! tied at the afternoon session Of the
convention on Friday when Chair
man Dancy, of the committee on

tation Of its report, announced that
the committee had unanimously de-
cided favorably on that proposition.
The announcement provoked the
convention to a whirlwind Of cheer
ing.
The premature announcement OF
: the conclusions OF the committee
was forced by adyices from New
York to the effect that newspaper
dispatches and Wall street reports
printed and circulated there midi
Gated lack of harmony among the
elements making up the conven-,
ton, and dissensions over the IS
cent proposition.
Mr.. R. Dancy. chairman of the
holding committee, then said that in
view of the reports which had been
circulated in the East of dissension
in the convention, he desired to an
nounce in advance Of its report that
the committee was unanimous IN
its decision to ask the convention to
stand by, the proposition that the
Southern farmers hold their cotton
for IS cents. Further, he sato IT
was decided to ask the committee
on acreage to join it in another
plan for ten per cent reduction IN
acreage in the form of diversif-
cation, and a ten per cent reduction
of fertilizers in the older States.
The enthusiasm with which the
announcement was received LETT lit

A Strong Resemblance.

There was in Washington a few
years ago an old negro who was no
ted for his recollections Of all the
famous statesmen of anti-bellum
days. To him one day came a
rather pompous member of a COM
parativdy recent congress. who re-
senbled some of the famous
forensic giants only in his capacity
for ardent spirits, He had his
customary cargo aboard and was in
clined to be colloquial, so he address
sed the old, negro patronizingly:
"Uncle Daniel, I understand that
YOU used to know Webster; Clay
and all the celebrated statesmen of
before the war times es?'
''Oh, yes, sir; I members dca1
ALL" responded the old negro.
"Well Daniel, have been told
that I look like Daniel Webster.
Can you notice any resemblance"
well, ye': sub; you does mind
me pow'ful of Mars Webstah in
some 'specks."
''Indeed! In what particular do
| remind you of Daniel Webster? ??
inquired the now thoroughly hatter-
ed statesman.
"Mos'ly in de bref, suh," res
ponded Daniel; *n1os'ly in de bref!"
