OPENING Of THE
NEVADA STATE FAIR
Snecial to the News.l

RENO, New, Sept 16.-The first
state fair to be held in Reno for six
years opened here today under aus
picious circumstances. The weather
conditions were perfect. and one of
the largest crowds that ever gathered
here attended the opening exercises.
The address of welcome was deliv-
cred by the Hon. Lem Allen, presi-
dent of the state board of agriculture
and ey,officio president of the Nevada
State Fair association.
Gov. Sparks was present and also
delivered an address of unusual in
terest. Many state officials were in
attendance.
The fair promises to be the best
exhibition of the resources and prod
ucts of the state ever gathered to-
gether. The mining and agricultural
interests are especially well repre-
scented, as are the stock raising and
manufacturing interests.
One of the greatest features of the
fair, with the exception of the eX-
hibits, will be the horse races. A
card Las been prepared for each day
which promises the followers of the
sport of kings royal entertainment.

make HOME.

There is no Use of our lying TO our
selves by saying that Nevada does
not feel the depression that is sweep
ing over the country. There is not
a town or mining camp in the state
but feels the effects Of the money
stringency to a greater or lesser ex-
tent. Ely feels it more keenly, per-
haps, than it would had not a small
sized boom been on for the past year
While Ely is suffering somewhat
from the depression, it will have a
steady natural growth for many
years. 1t is being built on foun-
dation as solid as the Rock of Glib
raltar, and with such a substantial
foundation under us we cant help
but erect a structure that will be
lasting and beautiful. Unless every
interest works together for the bet
terment of the common whole the
completion of the structure we all
hope to see will be retarded for many
years. No one can come into the dis
trict and spend any considerable sum
of money without little of it stick
ing to the hand of every one who
makes an honest effort to get 1t, but
money is not the root of all happiness
not by a good deal. A pleasant
home with good influences surround
ing it will be more enjoyed by the
men and women who have come to
Ely TO live, if they make a home--a
home that can be called home in its
truest sense. Make a home where
the mother can feel that she presides
over household with every comfort
make a home for the children. place
more agreeable to them than they
can find down town.

OF WILD
SILK IN EAST AFRICA

According to Consul G. e. Eager
of Barmen, Germany, an important
discovery was made a few months
ago by German resident of New
York, who has just finished an ex-
ploration of the region surrounding
the East African lakes. The consul
writes:
A wild silk has been found by the
traveller which is not only of import
ance to the silk trade, but will also
be of interest to scientists as well.
To the latter chiefly, that it may
bring the source of the silk of the
ancient races nearer to it's final So
luton. The discoverer 'of this silk
has secured concessions from both
the English and German colonial au-
thorities.
| am informed that there is every
likelihood that the cocoons can be
unwound in single thread if proper
care be taken in the process, which
enhances the value of the silk. Ex-
periments to this end have not as yet
been concluded. Besides the cocoons.
these caterpillars give with each
spinning a large quantity of superior
material for spun silk or schappe.
The cocoons are enclosed in numbers
of from so to 500 or more in a thick
covering or nest, the material of
which consists of pure silk fibre, and
being available in large quantities
might influence the schappe market
to large extent as soon as opera
lions are started on a sufficient scale.
A most important and valuable fact
in regard to this silk is that ii can
be bleached to a very. fine white,
which is contrary to other we'll
known wild silks, among which Tus-
sab silk is the best known The Af-
rican lake regions seem to be a prom
Using land for silk culture, there be-
ing an abundance of the trees, the
leaves of which the caterpillar pre-
fers for it's food.

The Virginia Chronicle says:

~. D. Meyers. a Goldfeld million
Re, Is having palatial home built
on the bluff opposite Bixby park at
Long Beach, Cal, and will have all
the hardware used on the doors and
windows quadruple-p plated with gold
from his own mines. He estimates
that the novelty will cost $4,000.
Sandy Bowers had the Goldfielder
skinned when he built the Bowers
mansion in Washoe valley. the door
knobs and hinges being solid silver
when that metal was at par
A. d. Meyers is well known in Ely,
where he has valuable mining inter-
ests. as well as banking interests. Mr..
Meyers is like many other men who
have made fortunes out of Nevada S
hills, taken his wealth out of the
states which had yielded up its hid
den treasures to his touch, but I'M
like Sandy Bowers, instead of build
ing a home where he made his for
tune. uses it to build houses with
gold plated hinges and door knobs
in California. Sandy Bowers built a
mansion in Washoe valley and put in
solid silver trimmings in his home.
While the News thinks that both
Sandy Bowers and Mr.. Meyers could
have put the money to a better use
than to have put in silver and gold
trimmings into their homes, wher-
ever built. Bowers had some appre-
citation of the state that gave him
wealth and showed it by spending it
within Nevada's confines.

On top of San Francisco's earth
quake and fire and the looting of the
city treasury, the bribing of officials,
smallpox and scarlet fever, comes the
plague from India. San Francisco is
most surely plague-ridden city, but

board of health stamps out the
plague, the atmosphere will clear and
the city will be a much more de-

"Gardnerville is without high
school owing to the fact that the new
principal on the last day wired the
trustees that he could not accept the
position. Since that time the trus-
tees have done everything in their
power to obtain someone competent
to take the vacancy, but to date have
been unsuccessful. The high school
department will consequently remain
closed until the desired instructor
can be obtained"
Prof. Cullen, the principal of the
Ely schools, was formerly at the head
of the Gardnerville system.

What seaboard official Thinks OF
Y. M. C. a.

The business men of today are be-
ginning to realize the worth of man
hood in business and are counting it a
good Investment to put money into
any institution that makes honest, care
full and capable men. This statement
is shown to be absolutely true by the
large amount of money that the rail
road companies are putting in Young
Mems Christian Associations.
Some one has said that they are
reckoned part of the railroad equip
ment as necessary as depots and air
brakes.
Mr.. w. A. Garrett, vice president of
the Seaboard railroad, recently said in
addressing the Railroad Young Mems
Christian Association National Conven-
ton at Detroit
1t is always pleasure to address
railroad men, but it is the greatest
pleasure to address body of Christian
railroad men. The successful railroad
officer today requires earnest, intelli-
gent conscientious, God fearing men
to help him. You will remember the
saying.
1t is easy enough to be pleasant
When life flows along like song.
But the man worth whileis the man
who smiles
When everything goes dead-wrong.'
The Young Mems Christian Associ-
ton in itself is calculated to give you
just that kind of man. The railroads
and the railroad men of America owe
much to the Young Mems Christian
Association secretaries
But when we consider the fact that
the raj lroad companies OF America
have set aside tor railroad Associations
forty-six buildings, valued at 1898, 500
and that the railroad associations own
and occupy buildings valued at SI,777,-
$50, making total valuation of build
ings used by Railroad Associations of
$2,676, $50, the large part of which has
been donated by Railroad companies,
we realize that the railroad magnates
indorse the words of Mr.. Garrett.
Surely If it pays for the great rail
road corporations it will pay for the
business men of Americas to invest
heavily in this great enterprise.

COMPANY NEEDS TEN RECRUITS
Minimum OF Light Infantry Short That
Number

The outlook for the Americas Light
Infantry is none too roseate, more's the
pity, and unless recruits can be enlist
ed pretty soon it may be twenty
three for that command when the in
spction takes place here month hence.
Captain Van Ripper, since assuming
command, has worked increasingly to
fill the ranks and build up the COM
pany, and with considerable success,
but he still needs ten more men to
build it up to the minimum strength
required under military law. He hopes
to accomplish this, however, before the
inspection officers come here March
2lst. Surely there are ten young men
in Americas who will don a uniform
rather than see the Light Infantry
mustered out of service.
