AS TO lie COURT HOSE.

Delay in the construction of the
court house is not at this time I'M
desirable. Should the railroad COM
mission, for instance, determine that
the people of Ely should have a
freight depot where they ask it a
change in the site of the court house
from the site of the proposed freight
yard would of course appeal as most
desirable to all but possibly few
mounting emblems of selfishness in
the old town who would be fearful
that in any shuttle of the site they
might lose a trifie on the value of
property holdings in the vicinity of
the present site. Fesler might even
contend that change in the site would
reduce the likelihood of recovery by
himself of all of his $1,000 claim
for damages by the railroad to the
property for which he paid $1,000
after the road had its rails down.
Considered fairly, however, it is
not propitious time to rush things
which reach into the pocket book of
the taxpayers for the money neces-
sary to do the rushing. 1t is a cor
siderable sum for tight times that the
new court house calls for. Should
the commissioners, who have doubt
less considered this point, conclude
that later day would be better for
building, or that free site and dis
position of the old one at figure
which would go a long ways toward
paying for the new building, thus re-
lieving the taxpayers of that much
of the burden, would be a desirable
course, they would, we believe, meet
with much acclaim for their action
from the taxpayers of the county,
and particularly from thoughtful,
fair business men, none of whom in
the conduct of their private enter
prises are plunging into expenditures

GOOD NEWS FOR THE DISTRICT.

Good news indeed is that con-

construction of concentration and
smelter under a full head of steam
on Cumberland Ely resources, Ne
vada Consolidated being left to pick
up its share of expense at such time
as it may see fit to attack it's treas
ury for that purpose.
This decision. which the directors
of Cumberland Ely will doubtless
adopt, means that concentration and
smelter at McGill will he in prac-

which is precisely what removal o.

advantageous site, available without
cost, would mean to the taxpayers.
Meantime, We would ask, have the
gentlemen of Ely, who protest
against change of the court house
site, suggestion to make as to where
they will put the building in the
event railroad yard destroys the
present site?
The News suggests Ely City as the
most desirable point from every view
and it undertakes to say that it will
get the county a free site there If
offer is not made from some other
source. Have the gentlemen of Ely

THE THORNLESS CACTUS.

1t is a matter of some interest to
see that the fame of Burbank thorn
less cactus has reached the city of
Washington. A year or two ago this
western country was very much in
terested in the statement from Lu-
Their Burbank of California that he
was perfecting or had about perfect
ed the growth of a thornless cac-
tus, one that would be good forage
plant and would thrive in the arid
desert. where now there Is no forage
for stock. 1t was pointed out at the
time in these columns and elsewhere,
that if Mr.. Burbank succeeded in
producing a forage plant of this kind,
his services to the country were so
very great as to be measureless.
The aim of Mr.. Burbank, which
was said to be about practically re-
allied, was to produce a large leaf
cactus succulent, juicy, that would
store up water and would be edible
for cattle, sheep and horses, and
would also be a resource for man.
kind when caught on the desert and
about to perish from thirst. A good
forage plant of this kind would make
the desert wastes of this mountain
country good pasture lands, for cac-
tus will grow anywhere. even up to
the tops of mountains. The fact that
Mr.. Burbank, who usually realizes
good measure of success in what
he hopes to accomplish, has perfect
ed his efforts in this direction and
that the matter is deemed SO import
ant in Washington as to be worthy
of sending out by telegram under the
approval of the United States Ma
tional museum, and with its seal of
success stamped upon it, the report
of such success is of the very highest
possible interest in this western coun-
try. A forage plant of that kind is
the one thing needed to redeem all
of our desert wastes. 1t would be
quite impossible to overstate the i'm
portanee of this development, pro-
vided it has, in fact, been perfected
as stated.
We shall await with keen anxiety
the further reports of the perfected
development of this thornless cactus.
| If it is all that Professor Burbank
hoped for it, and all that the national
museum now seems to think it is in
it's present form, then indeed we have
arrived at the threshold of tremen-
dous development of the western
country, such as the most ardent en-
thusiast could hardly have hoped for
even so recently as a decade ago
The thornless cactus, If it fills the
bill, will be the redemption and glory
of the whole arid region of America

terly developing steadily as a terri
tory peopled by race of business
/ folk that has learned much in recent
years, is still learning and is ambi-
tious to know it all" From the
forestry bureau of our United States
| department of the interior comes the
official information that the Sierra
Madre Lumber company operating
in Sonora and chihuahua, is cutting
timber from land holdings that ag-
gregate 1854, 900 acres. The cut is
about one hundred and fifty million
board feet annually. The tops of the
trees are made into fuel, the refuse
is burned, and when the ground has
been cleared of infiammable material
ii is replanted with trees of the same
specie as those cut BY pursuing this
method it is beyond all question that
the Sierra company will always have
crop coming on, and instead of
''skinning the land once for all, and
abandoning it to fire and erosion, it
will be made profitable for all time.
This is one of the largest reforesting
projects ever undertaken by a pri-
vate without doubt the
most important enterprise of the sort
ever entered upon in any of the
Americas-and our own lumber COM
panies will be compelled before long
to adopt and pursue similar plan,
or their industry Will sooner or later

The above from the editorial page
of the New York Commercial is a
tribute to Col. w. C. Greene, of Ari-
| IONA, miner, stockman and nation
builder, who next to Diaz has done
more for the upbnilding and recla-
nation of Mexico than any other
man. Incidentally Colonel Greene
has done much for himself in Mex
leo, but he has earned every cent by
hard knocks that he has wrested
from the resources of the republic to
the south The Sierra Madre Land
& Lumber company is among his en-
terprises and mis- hand has directed
every step that has been taken and
is being taken in its development and
conduct. The credit which attaches
to the preservation of its lumber re-
sources through replanting belongs to
him. The idea is one which will be
universally adopted as time pro-
crosses. 1t is a characteristic out
growth of the vigor, enterprise and
good common sense Greene employs
and which the editor of this paper
has long considered would make him
an admirable head for department
of mining whenever time shall bring
realization of that just due of the
mining industry of this country
Though he is a Democrat, a Repub.
lican administration could find nc
man more widely conversant witt
mining and the public domain from
the practical end nor more certain
of carrying out his ideas thoroughly
and fearlessly.

Proper Dish Washjnn

The dirty dishes and plates should
be put into a dish-tub of warm water
at once when taken from the table;
by this means half the trouble of
washing-up will be saved, as it will
prevent the gravy-juice, mustard, ETC.,
from cooling and drying on the plates
and dishes. When you commence
washing them, add sufficient boiling
water to make it very hot, and with a
dishclOth wash on both sides, one at a
time. Then rinse in a pan of cold
water or under a running tap; this
makes them clean and bright looking,
and removes any little grease that
might remain. Now put them in a
rack, or on one side to drain.
