The finishing touches are being put

For many years the E.pulicaE

Now that Sentaor Nixon has purchas-
ed the same identical home they have
closed up like clans.
The following from the Wells Her
aid pretty effectively dispoaes Of the
question:
Senator Nixon of Nevada has pur-
chased beautiful home in Washing
ton. This act has cused some of the
Democratic paper of the state to sew
erly criticise him, the papers contend
ing that he had no right to dig gold
from the hills of Nevada and invest it
in Washington property" SuCn itivo-
lous arugment is unworthy of space
in any real newspaper, The senator
has a perfect right to do as he
pleases with his money. The collat-
eral is his, and any newspaper that
presumes to dictate where the sen.
ator shall invest his earnings is only
making a laughing stock of Itself.
! furthermore in this case Senator
Nixon has done exactly right. He de-
sires q residence in Washington that
will give him the standing at the Ma
tional capitol that could no be his if
he were compelled to live at a hotel
or rent quarters during the session
! of the senate. Today Nevada is the
most talked of state in the Union,
and it is betting that Senator Nixon
should have a home in Washington
that people can point to and say,
dence Of Senator Nixon of Nevada,
the greatest mining state in the
world" Senator Nixon has made mil
lions in the mines of this state and it
is proper that he should have a resi-
dence in Washington where he can
entertain his friends with a dignity
in keeping with the position he oc
cupies. The Nixon Washington home
simply stands as a monument to the
, mining industry of this state-a
splendid advertisement of Nevada
The Washington property is not
the true home Of Senator Nixon. He
I and his family will simply occupy the
residence during the sessions of the
, senate. The bona fide home of Sen
ator NiXno is in Nevada, where he
, has made his money, and where he
p will reside when his legislative duties
. do not call him away.

THE MAIL ORDER HOUSES
How it Happens that They get so
Much Business

An exchange says that the other
day a merchant happened to see
farmer receiving some goods from
the depot and noticed that they came
from a mail order house. He noticed
also that the goods were right in his
line, and the same he had carried for
years. He Immediately approached
the farmer and said: Il could have
sold you every article you have there
for less money than you paid the
| Chicago house and saved you the
freight besides Then why in the
devil don't you do so?" answered
the farmer. Il have taken the local
paper for a year and haven't seen a
line about your selling those goods.
| This mail order house sent advertis.
ing matter to me asking for my trade
and they got it. If you have any
bargains why don't you have them
put in the paper so we could see
what they are?" They ended the
argument and the merchant went ou
to corral other merchants who never
advertise and explain to them tha
the mail order house was ruinin:
their business.
The other day the writer was asket
why he ran large adv in the Appea

GIGANTIC POWER PLANT
and Granny of the Silver States
Mountains

DR.. F. H. Harding, representing the
General Electric Power company of
California, is in the Nevada field with
a view of establishing a gigantic
plant in this state for the purpose Of
furnishing power throughout Nevada.
1t is one of the biggest concerns in
the United States and sees in Nevada
one of the best fields
It's promoter is w. H. Underwood
of New York, and the engineer in
charge is Colonel John Bogart of
deliver power i'll Nevada within two
years. If the company can get a
guarantee of patronage of 10000
horsepower it will put in a 10000
horsepower plant 1t thinks Nevada
will soon demand that capacity.
| In discussing the matter, RI. Hard
ing said;
/ In Calaveras county, California
! in the upper stretches of the MOkel-
umne river, there is the greatest nat
ural dam and reservoir site in all
the coast country. A narrow canyon
with sheer. precipitiOus cliffs, barren
of shrub or yerdure, rise for half a
mile, and the reservoir is bounded by
/ water from spreading to undesirable
limits. The dam will be 175 feet
high and LOO feet long the top, with
the bedrock bottom as level as q
board floor The lake will be fOul
and e-half miles wide. A canal z
feet wide, s feet deep and % miles
long will give a fall of 1900 feet a
the point of discharge, thus producing
an available horsepower of over 90,
GEO. The reservoir will maintain ;
iiow of 10000 inches, and even shoult
the river itself, which is supplied b,
the Blue lakes, go dry TO the dregs
the reservoir still would keep tn
power plant supplied with regular
/ flow of water for ia days, SO pos
sible shortage OF water is almost be
yond the bounds of probability.
| think it may be taken for granite
that we never will suffer from a lac
of water.
1t was the first intention of GU
company to utilize all its power a
Pacific coast points, but the attentiO
of the managers was directed TO th
marvellous, the phenomenal develol
ment of the State of Nevada, an
they determined to abandon thei
first plan and to enter the Nevad
field, and following that conception

MR.. WdfihIAMSON'S PLAN
OF HOW TO GROW CORN
Scientific Discovery Of Corn Culture
by q. McIver Williamson of Oar
Hngton county.

Owing to the interest manifested in
the Williamson plan Of corn culture
The State today reproduces in detail
the discovery of a successful Darling
ton county farmer. 1t follows:
For number of years after I
began to farm I followed the old
saethoa Of putting the fertilizer all
under the. corn, planting on level
Or higher, six by three feet, pushing
the plant from the start and making
. big stalk, but the ears we're Few apd
Frequently small. I planted much
corn in the spring and bought much
more corn the next spring, until final
ly I was driven to the conclusion that
corn could not be made on uplands in
this section, certainly not by the old
method except at loss.
% II did not give UP, however, For I
knew that q farmer who did not make
his own corn never had succeeded, and

elghC mches high. Thin after this
working. 1t is not necessary that the
plants should be left all the same
distance apart, if the right number
remain to each yard Of row.
Corn should not be worked again
until the growth has been so retarded,
and the stalks so hardened that it will
never grow too large. This is the
most difficult point in the whole pro-
cess. Experience and Judgment are
required to know just how much the
stalk should be stunted, and plenty
OF nerve is required to hold back your
corn when your neighbors, who ferti-
llzed at planting time and cultivated
rapidly have corn twice the size of
yours. CThey are having their fun
now. Yours will come at harvest
time.) The richer the land the more
necessary it is that the stunting pro-
cess should be thoroughly done.
"When you are convinced that
your corn has been sufficiently humili-
ated you may begin to make the ear.
1t should now be from 12 to l9
inches high, and look worse than you
have ever had corn to look before.
"Put half your mixed fertilizer
(this being the first used at all) in
the old sweep furrow on both sides
OF every other middle, and cover by
breaking out this middle with turn
plow. About one week later treat the
other middle the same way. Within
few days side corn in first middle
with lG-inch sweep. Put all your nj
trate Of soda in this furrow, if less
than $50 pounds. IF more, use one
half of it now. Cover with one furrow
OF turn plow, then SOW peas in this
middle broadcast at the rate of at
least ones bushel to the acre, and
finish breaking out.
In few days side corn in other
middle with same sweep, put balance
OF nitrate of soda in this furrow, if
it has been divided, cover with turn
plow, SOW peas, and break out. This
lays by your crop with a good bed
and plenty of dirt around your stalk.
This should be from June 10 to 20,
unless the season is very late, and
corn should be hardly punching for
tassel.
clay by carly. More corn is ruin
eel by late plowing than by lack of
plowng. This is when the ear is hurt.
Two good rains after laying by should
make YOU a good crop of corn, and it
will certainly make with much less
rain than IF pushed and fcrtilizcd in
the old way.
"The stalks thus raised are very
small, and do not require anything
like the moisture even proportion
to size, that is necessary for large
sappy stalks. They may, therefore, be
left much thicker in the row. This is
no new process. It has long been
custom to cut back vines and trees
in order to increase the yield and
quality Of fruit, and so long as you
do not hold back your corn, it will go,
like mine SO long went, all to stalk.
"Do not be discouraged by the
looks of your corn during the process
Of cultivation. 1t will yield out of
all proportion to its appearance. Lar
ge stalks can not make large yields,
except with extremely favorable sea-
SONS, for they can not stand lack of
moisture. Eearly applications Of
manure go to make large stalks, which
you do not want, and the plant food
