MUDDY VALLEY
Railroad and Oil Probabilities
Agricultural Progress

Hon. Levi Syphus, Lincoln County
Assemblyman, writing from ST. Thomas,
states that he has just returned from
the Virgin oil fields and looks ior great
developments in that section. He is
strongly OF the opinion that a line of
railroad will be built from the vicinity
of Lund, Utah, to the oil fields, and
down the Virgin River to connect at
Moapa.
In the Muddy Valley, he writes, is a
large area OF oil-bearing formation iden-
cal with that of the Utah fields, except
that it is much disturbed and tilted
with evidence OF considerable volcanic
action; not more OF the latter, however,
than prevails in the Utah fields. Pet
rified forests and fossiliferous lines are
much in evidence. Notwithstanding
some unfavorable indications, he be-
lieyes the ground worthy of test.
The water question in the valley has
been settled and farmers are making
larger outlays in clearing land, ditching
and planting trees General conditions
Indicate healthy boom, and a large
increase in population during the next
few months. The mining industry in
that section is a little quiet at present,
but much activity in that line is looked
for the coming winter.

Las Vegas Petition

Judge Beal has received from VIM r
cox assistant Forester, at Washington,
= letter acknowledging receipt of the
,o,ition from Las Vegas, praying for
soreful protection of the Charleston
Forest Reserve.
Tho letter states that the eOnserva-
,;on Of water and the limited supply OF
timber are two of the reasons for which
the Charleston National Forrest was
created. that the petition is in the line
With the work Of the forest service and
that the latter will cooperate to the
,rllest extent to lend encouragement to
the redemption OF this arid section.
The assurance is given that the sale OF
timber in large quantities to other than

their local supply will not he encourag'

The letter concludes by stating that

According to the announcement Il.
earnings for the railroad for the first
year will be abop. 81 ,0O0, ,OOO."
The road forrls a connecting link be-
tween Cobre md Ely and the rates
charged are probably in keeping with
those of othe Nevada railroads.
The Nevad City Enterprise furnishes
another illustration of railroad greed in
Nevada. In 1881, according to an item
republished from its files, it cost $40 to
to travel by stage from Nevada City to
Virginia City. The railroad has reduced
the time OF passage somewhat, but it
still costs $40, or thereabouts, to travel
between the two points.
While the railroads are engaged in
the noble work of assisting in the de-
velopment of the state, it is quite plain
that they are not doing so at the ex-
pense of their stockholders.

The following, where a moral is
clearly shown, is taken from an ex-
change: Recently a church congre-
cation in a little Kansas town built a
new church. To pay for 1t they were
obliged to call on the merchants Of the
community for donations. The mer-
chants responded literally, and $500
was raised from this source. The last
man asked to subscribe was John
Smith jeweler. ''I will give you
$40 if you will let me add something
to the subscription list" he said. The
permission was accorded him, and be
wrote at the foot of the list:
John Smith, jeweler $40 OO
Sears, Roebuck & Go 90 OO
Montgomery Ward & Co 90 OC
The church people saw the point
when the minister read from the pull
pit the list of donors to the building
fund, and since the dedication of the
church, there have been no mail or
ders sent from that Kansas town.

ATHENA AND FAIRS.

Pendleton is entertaining hundreds
of people this week at the Umatilla-
Morrow county fair. The second an
nual fair is vastly superior to the one
of last year, and every district of con
sequence except Athena is represented
by attractive displays of products,
setting forth in vivid, impressive man
ner the bountifuI wealth of resources.
Assisted ty a prolific production this
year of grains, grasses, fruits, veget-
ables-in fact the cream of the best
that is produced in the best section OF
the county, Athena could have gone
to the county fair with superlative
exhibit. That she is not i'll competl-
tive exhibition with other towns and
districts of the county at the fair, Is a
conspicuous fact indelibly impressed
on the minds of fair visitors by her
absence. And 1T falls far short of an
advertisement to the town for individ-
ual mouthpieces, on returning from
the fair to announce that Athena
products can excel anything l saw
there" Evidently Athena does not
take to fairs. Last year she had an ex-
hibit at the county fair. 1t was made
through virtue of loyalty to the town
by the Preston Parton Milling company
which furnished the products, paid for
tho exhibit space, and two business men
who paid $40 for labor in arranging
the display.
Another and more pronounced fact
that Athena doesn't espouse the osten-
tatious practice Of exhibiting to out
siders her marvellous resources in a
manner that may be in any way con-
strued as meaning fair, is cited
locally, in the organization of the
"Athena Agricultural and Live Stock
Fair Association. Committees were
appointed; dates named for holding the
fair; grounds selected and concessions
obtained from the city council. The
committee on finance secured funds
aggregating over 800 and endeavored
to make a report but was unable to
secure meeting for hearing. There,
the Athena fair proposition, "born
with a whoop," died in whisper and
dropped out of the public mind. But
it is occasionally resu1rected and talk
cd about these days when many people
go to Pendleton and spend money
that should be spent at home.
