NEVADA STATE PRIDE
WILL PREVENT UNION
Independence of Sage Brush State
Will Thwart Presidents Fa-
vOrite Scheme.

The ambitious state makers of the
east who are busily disposing OF Ari-,
zone by uniting her to Nevada, or
otherwise providing for her admis-
sions into the union, might do well
to consult the communities concern
ed. The woeful failure to appreciate
western sentiment was plain when
Arizona knocked into a cooked hat
the best laid plans of the president
and congress. Those who now adj
vocate the jointure of Nevada and
Arizona are. palpably ignorant of the
attitude of the state and territory.
Neither aches to be linked to the
other, and there is no reason why
they should be joined.
Nevada is rapidly getting out of
the rotten borough class. Her gold
output is becoming SO large as to be
comparable with that of Alaska, Col
orado, or California, and it promises
to rank with the Rand as producer.
Irrigation is retaining the arid
lands of the state, and the market
afforded by the gold camps is in
ducing a farming immigration which,
once planted, will remain and -four

that Nevada asks is that the east
shall not cling to the notions of a

the east will only keep abreast of the
developments in Nevada, there will

of pride is genuine, also. The people
of Arizona are convinced that the
territory is the fairest portion of the

and in it's growth, and they know that
they will become great state This
is an ambition worthy of the broad
faith and sturdy courage of the west

gives rise to the fear that the 18TH
mus of Panama may not, after all,
be of the great strategic value to
the country in time of war, that it
was at first thought it would be.
If the canal is constructed accord
ing to the plans that are now being
followed, the Dreadnaught type of
war vessels. of which the navy de-
partment is planning to construct
several, will be unable to traverse the
canal, and would be yalueless for
strategic purposes.
The long trip around the horn
would be virtually impracticable in
time of emergency, and unless the
government desires to construct and
maintain two enormous nayies, one
on the Pacific and another on the
Atlantic. it might be considered adj
visable to take up the matter of so
enlarging the canal as to admit the
passage of vessels of the largest pos
sible type.

AMERICA FOR AMERICA ANS.

Canada. our neighbor in fnrs, has
a bit of worry on her mind at this
time that has been felt by our own
statesmen for the last twenty years,
Canada is facing a yellow peril OF
her own. There are hordes of Jap
anese who are clamoring for admit
lance at all of her ports. The sit
uation has become so serious that
the Canadians have appealed to the
Home Government for measures OF
relief. The Home Government, tied
as it is with red tape and countless
foreign treaties. finds that its hands
are tied in the matter and the i'm
mediate relief desired cannot be
given.
The labor situation in Canada is
bad. owing to the influx of the Jap
anese and Chinese. and serious dem
onstrations have occurred that may
in. time threaten a breach between
Great Britain and Japan.
The situation in Canada has its in
fiuence on the United States. 1he
extreme length of the border between
these countries makes it impossible
for this country to so thoroughly pa
troll the borderland, so that the Jap
anese may cross into the United
States, almost of their own free will
and. at their own convenience.
To arrive at proper solution of
the difficulty which is presented in
parallel circumstances to the two
countries, a commission should be
named to examine into the matter
with. the greatest care and study, and
a treaty should be framed between
the United States and Canada, by
which the laws of exclusion in the
two countries should be made identi-
cal. Thus would a means be given
to more thoroughly preserve the Oc-
cident for the Occidentals, eliminate
the cheap yellow labor, and make the
whole OF North America respond to
the axiom, America for Americans.

To Balance.

For more than a week the teacher
had been giving lessons on the dog,
and so when the inspector came
down and chose that very subject
there seemed every prospect of the
class distinguishing itself on brilliant
essays about our canine friend.
Things were progressing quite salts
factorily, and the master was con.
graduating himself on the trouble he
had taken, when, alas question was
asked which made him tremble for
the reputation of his scholars.
why does a dog hang his tongue
out of his mouth?" asked the in.
spector.

looking lad who held up his hand,
while the light of genius was in his
eye.

GLADYS WILL HAVE STAGE
CAREER-PRESSA AGENT BUSY

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-One of the
pair of giant bald eagles that nest
in dead chestnut tree on Waukhaw
mountain, near Caldwell. N. J., car
ried three-year-old Gladys Vreeland
on the top of tall hemlock tree Sat
urdey morning and wrapped her into
it's branches, according to the story
told by her father, John Milton Vree-
land, a farmer.
T The child weighs forty pounds,
and, according to the fathers story,
the great bird was barely able to
maintain its fight under the weight.
Its carrying off of the girl was more
than half involuntary, its talons hav-
ing caught in her clothing when she
attempted to save a hen from the
eagle.
The great bird rose slowly and la
boriously, its wings beating the air
wildly and the child screaming in ter
ror. Vreeland sprang forward, but
before he got within reach the bird
had lifted itself and its precious bur-
den above him and was slowly rising
higher and higher. The child seemed
trying -. free itself.
1t had reached the top of tall
hemlock tree when the struggles of
the girl rent her dress at the left
shoulder. For several seconds she
hung with her entire weight in the
grasp of one talon of the eagle, which
continued tapping the air wildly and
trying to make Roadway.
Then the dress at the right Shout
der gave way, and Gladys fell
through the branches of the tree to
the ground, where fortunately pile
of hay broke her fall, SO that she was
little injured AS the child dropped
the eagle shot through the air to-
ward the mountain at express train
speed.

GAME FOR MIGHTY HUNTER.

President Roosevelt is one OF the
most consistent Nimrods of the en-
tire country, His hunting expedi-
tions have covered virtually the en-
tire nation. where wild game is to
lie found.
He has belts adorned with elk
iyories; his floor is covered with bear
ptlts; the tawny skins of his finest
wolves adorn his den; the antlers of
the deer, the antelope and the moose
adorn his dining hall and his library
But it is not acne the wild ami
mails of the forest, the mountain and
the plain that President Roosevelt
has hunted. His greatest exploits in
the field were accomplished prior to
Executive. Since that momentous
occasion he has at different times,
hunted different kinds of game.
There were, for example. the many
varieties of the genus Prevaricator
which the president has slain and
flayedc There are men who. prior
to the advent of this modern MINI
red, roamed the country seeking
whom and what they could devour,
with none to stay their ruthless
hand
But President Roosevelt has now
added their pelts to the collection
which he has gathered. His latest
I.unting trip is after the greatest liv-
ing specimen of the genus Octopus,
whose tenacles reach from sea to
sea, from Canada to Mexico, and
with a few extra lengths extending
across into Europe and the islands
of the sea. The mighty hunter will

of the American flag, quarry that
will be worthy of his metal. When
. this head is mounted and finds
place either in the Smithsonian insti-
tute, where it will eventually go,
or in his own collection of trophies,
Roosevelt's fame as hunter will
eclipse that of any other man who
ever lived to enjoy the sport of snar-
ing and dispatching the wild things
that roam in the forests and wild
places.
