A STATE IN PAWN.
Nevada Said to Have Been in That Con.
dition Five Years Ago.

Five years ago Nevada was state in
pawn. She had been stolen, says Sue
cessful American. The entire population
was not sufficient to constitute a third
rate western town and ii was decreasing.
1t might we'll have been asked then,
What's the matter with Nevada?"
The trouble grew out of Nevada's pub
lie land grant, amounting TO 1000 ZOO
acres, which Congress had carelessly
authorized the state to select as desired.
The Nevada Legislature practically put
the land up at auction and the result
was that a few stockmen bought enough
land to shoestring and surround and alb
Solutely control every river, lake and
water hole in the state.
BY so doing they became virtual pos
SCISSORS of the rest of the state. No one
else could use the public land or make
settlement because of their control of all
the water, and in Nevada water is the
lifeblood of the land. Sixty million acres
were controlled and in effect owned by
about a million acres, and not an oppor-
tunity for a single 100 acre homestead.
Five years ago this was the situation
"a hopeless one. Public spirited men
had attempted to induce immigration
and to encourage the development of
their state, but their work had come
to naught and they had quit. There
was no chance.
Yet all the time there was still great
water supply running TO waste annually.
The perennial flow of the rivers and
streams was entirely utilized, but the
floods from the melting of the mountain
SHOWS swept away uselessly to the sea.
Viewing the situation as it was then,
who would, have dared to predict that
with the passage of the national irri-
cation act could have occurred the great
transformation and development in Ne
vada, and if it had been predicted who
would have believed it? OF the $3T ,000,-
600 government reclamation fund Neva-
da has thus far received her fair share,
and the completion of the great project
upon which the federal engineers are
now working will more than quadruple
the already increased population of the
state.
The first section Of the Truckee- Carson
project has been completed and the set
tiers are now farming the fertile land
in S0-acre homesteads. BY next year

GOLFERS CURIOUS DRIVE.
Playing from a Treetop-Ball That
Bounded Back to Starting Point.

An odd incident occurred on Saturday
during a match at the Golf Club de Par

apen amateur championship were at the
fourteenth tee. when one sent his drive
mp tree. The ball remained fixed be
tween two branches: n caddie, Climbing

\ great consultation arose as TO what
should be done. The committee was
hastily summoned and stood beneath the
spreading branches of the tree. much
in the fashion in which st. Louis dis
pensed justice in 4 primitive France.
Evidently the ball was not ont of
bounds. Finally the judges decreed that
either a new ball should be dropped on
the tee. counting two. or the ball should
be played from fthe spot. To save the
point. the golfer bravely Skinned up tile
tree and played his ball from the en-
bracing fork. making, indeed, quite a
good stroke.

tee I witnessed another curious incident.

THE FRONTIER GUARDS.
Made Sfse to Keep the Enemy Away
FROM the National Capital.

An effort is to be made to compile 4
history and roster of the Frontier
Guards, ,Mho did such heroic service in
keeping the Confederates scared away
from Washington during tie Civil war.
DIR. Il. ID. Bancroft has undertaken the
work. He is in Washington now trying
to pick up a thread that will enable him
to unravel the hidden history and secure
the names of the men.
The Frontier Guards" were composed
of 10 Kansans. DIR. Bancroft only re-
members two-the late Senator Preston
II: Plumb and the late Capt. G. j. Hanks
OF Kansas City, Kan. However, he
feels certain that many are still living
and he will round them up.
The chief object in so many Kansans
coming to Washington during the Civil
war days was to help bolster up the
northern members of Congress and have
them uphold the hands of President LIN
coin. Nearly every state had a delega-
ton of citizens here bolstering up its
Congressional delegation.
When the Kansans found that the
Maryland and Virginia hills surrounding
Washington were swarming with Con-
federates they organized themselves in
to the Frontier Guards" secured arms
from the national government. and did
guard duty at the national capital. Jim
Lane was senator then and he helped or
ganiZe the squad.
About the only thing we did," said
DIR. Bancroft. was to march up and
down Pennsylvania avenue, cross the
Potomac bridges and make a lot of
noise. There We're only 10 of us, but
we made, enough noise for a whole army.
In fact, we were told afterward that the
rebels said they would have attacked the
town if they were not afraid of those
ID Kansans. They thought we were
several thousand strong. Our noise
saved the city. Had the rebels made
an attack they could have taken the
town easily. for they outnumbered us ten
to one. This demonstrated that lot of
noise pays once in a while.
while the Frontier Guards were Oh
duty in Washington they slept in the
East room Of the White House. They
made their hunks right on the velvet
carpet. Lincoln said nothing was too
good for crowd of 40 men who stood
off an entire rebel army
Years later Senator Plumb sought TO
have the Frontier Guards given some
recognition, and introduced a bill in Con-
gress. But he lied soon after that and
no one since then has had enough inter-
est in the matter to present it.
All of the men were given a discharge

cocKCHAFER DIET FOR FISH.
Germans Utilizing an Insect Pest to I'm
prove and Cheaper Their Preserves.

4 German scientist, Prof. Eckstein
proposes to utilize the May bugs or
cockthafer beetles. which are so destruc-
tive to vegetation in Europe, as a food
for Ssh in ponds and preserved waters
The present method of killing the pests
when they are picked from the trees and
plants is by pouring boiling water on
them. This renders them useless, so he
proposes to substitute smothering with
sulphuric ether. A few ounces of this
is poured into Il barrelful of the insects.
which is then headed up. They are all
dead in n few hours
They are next roasted in an eoven
something like coffee roasting appa-
ratus. The heat is applied for about
twelve hours and at the end of that time
they are found reduced to fine meal,
which can be kept for a long time 1t
will furnish from 10 to 20 pounds of the
meal. AS for the coaster. il may be
used for coffee or anything else when the
process is completed as the meal is
absolutely dry and clean.
The meal when 1t is to be used is
mixed to paste with water. Carp and
goldfish eat the mixture greedily. 1t is
found that they thrive ON it excellently,
increasing in weight and fairness beyond
results reached by any other sort of
artificial feeding.
The expense of the May bug diet is
very small-much lower than that of
cereals. which are generally used The
supply is practically unlimited in the
wooded regions of the country. and chill
dreu can be employed to gather the bugs.
Tests are being made as TO the exact
proportion of the meal on which various
sorts of fish thrive best and estimates as
to the quantity which the fish preserves
of the contrary can utilize annually.

Yachtsmen throughout the United
States will be gratifed to learn that the
recent rumors concerning the possibility
of another challenge from Sir Thomas
Upton for a series of America cup races
in 1908 have prompted leading amateur
sailors of the Atlantic coast to consult
Mt least three prominent designers, as to
the production of large sloops under new
rules. Messrs. Gielow, Gardner and
Herreshoff are the designers, and they
have each heretofore produced very fast
boats. Herreshoff's schooner Queen is
now the fastest two-masted yacht in
American waters and GIelow's sloOp Eff
fort is the best in her class of one-masted
craft. Gardner has produced flyers, but
at present none of them is a consistent
leader. The fact that one of Herreshoff's
recent productions, the Avenger, forty
eight feet long, defeated the fifty-seven
footer in the Larchmont regatta has
aroused excitement among New York
yacftSSffiGff." and caused all coast sailors
to look for the construction of a large
Avenger to defend the America cup. 1t
is evident that the preliminary races for
the next series with Sir Thomas will
be quite as interesting as the information.

The statistics of the official Of the
archive bureau of the prussian railway
administration, showing that the rail-
ways of the United States are the cause

of any other country in the world may
be right from his standpoint; but his
standpoint may be wrong. There is no
denying the fact that the nperation of
the railways of the United States is ac-
companied by appalling trouble; but there
are more people on the \mOve in this
country than in any otheE, and conse-
quently the proportion of casualties to
the number Of travellers is an item for
consideration. However, there is room
