LAS VEGAS
TO The FRONT
Electric Lights, Power
and Telephone System
Now Assured

Another important step has
been taken by some of our enter
prising citizens, and within six
weeks from this date we will see
installed and in operation as per-
feet an electric lighting system as
can be shown in any city.
At an expenditure of nearly
$4,000, the entire plant has just
been purchased, and work is now
under way to install same as rap
idly as may be possible. Every
facility for furnishing light and
power will be used, so that our
people may depend on a beauti-
full light, and plenty of it.
Already a force of men, under
the supervision of Mr. l.. :. Firth,
thoroughly competent and etli-
cient electrical engineer, is at
work at the construction of the
power house, which, is to he an
up to date structure in keeping
with the best buildings used for
that purpose anywhere. 1t will
be built of stone blocks like the
Bank building and front 80 feet
on Main st, at corner of Bridger,
of large, roomy proportions, with
offices for the management, as
well as for the telephone exchange,
whisE l., by the way, is to be install
led 2 the same time. Telephones
/ wirrA, transformers, switchboards,
and in fact every detail has been
carefully looked after, and every
thing used will be strictly first
class and the best in every re-
spcct.
\ long distance telephone line
Is in contemplation, and 1t certain
ly ought to be matter OF pride to
every good citizen of Las Vegas to
encourage in every way possible,
this enterprise, so that it may
prove but a forerunner OF other
good things to follow for the
growth of the town, and its dcvcl-
opmcnt. We have the opportun-
ity of making Las Vegas the lead
ing city in Southern Nevada, and
we are going to do it. Stand to,
gcther all pull along the same
lines with this one object in view
and it will be done.
We congratulate the people on
this step forward, and unhesita-
tingl y assure the promoters of the
Lighting and Telephone Company
that we will stand by them in
their enterprise.

Dagget Dry and Dead

The old frontier supply station of the
desert has seen its best days; Daggett,
once the liveliest town on the Mohave,
is now dry and almost dead. New
towns to the north and east have sapped
the trade of Daggett, and the opening
of new new borax works on the 7. x I.
railroad will remove another industry
from the old frontier town. Once a
dozen saloons filled Daggett's days with
life and nights with revelry. Daggett
is now dry-all the saloons having
closed.

DISCOvERYBIG GASSER |
Of Mineral in Southern
Section Excites
People

A dispatch from Tahlequah tells of
interesting discoveries Of mineral in
the southern part of the Cherokee
nation. The dispatch is as follows:
A fever OF mining excitement is
creeping over the Cherokee Nation on
account Of three important strikes
within the past few days in localities
hitherto unknown as mineral bearing
Definite information was received
here today that a six-foot vein of an
tbracite coal had been located within
fifteen miles Of the Iron Mountain
Railroad, the nearest station being
Braggs Within one mile of this has
been discovered remarkable showing
Of iron ore. The owner of the land is
using every means possible to hush up
the secret Of the strike because he
fears that if the secretary of the in
terror finds out about the coal and iron
he will include it in the proposed re-
serve, For many years the Indians
have told Of the iron ore somewhere
in that vicinity. Today an old hunt
er who has spent many years In the
Cherokee Nation, stated that he saw
this iron ore eight years ago, but there
has never been time when he thought
he could get hold of it, The iron is a
surface cropping on theside Of a noun
tain. On account Of the fear that the
Department. Of the Interior will tie
the properties up, it is also impossible
to get detailed information.
A party Of prospectors in the east
ern part Of the Cherokee Nation a few
days ago discovered the finest bed of
6 lass sand that has yet been found in
the Territory. Beneath this layer Of
glass sand there is one Of the finest
beds Of natural asbestos that has ever
been discovered in the South. The
sand glass bed lies under fifteen feet
Of sandstone with cap sheet of three
feet Of granite.
The bed Of sand glass is within easy
reach of the railroads and within easy
reach Of the big gas fields There has
been asbestos discovered in the Chero-
kee nation at various places, but this
last field seems to be the largest yet.

vinita Company Brings
in Fine Well at
CoOdy'S Bluff

Vinita does not yet have gas, and it
will probably be two weeks yet before
the numerous gas ranges that have
been purchased recently by the house
wives of this city can be lighted. Sew
eral delays have been encountered,
and the main pipe line to the Coody's
Bluff field has not yet been completed.
However possibly by the 20th and at
least by the end of the month, the gas
will be turned In the service pipes.
The Vinita Gas company is appar-
emily assured of a plenCiful supply of
gas In the Coody's Bluff field. Besides
the numerous wells previously brought
in, the company last week drilled in
the biggest gasser yet found in the
tield, a we'll that flows 1000, 900 feet of
gas per day. The big gasser was
struck on the Grant Thompson land,
east Of Coody's Bluff, on l6-26-17.
The first gas was delivered to Mus
kogee on January /. The franchise
for Muskogee was granted over two
years ago. Vinita's franchise was
granted last summer, and was not ap-
proved by the secretary Of the inter
ior for two or three months after
wards. The Vinlta Gas company, it
will be seen, has thereto been very

RESTRICTIONS FROM
ALL But HOMESTEADS
Delegate Mcclure Introduces Into Con-
gresS a BiILto Make indian Terri.
tory Lands Taxable

Washington, Ian. S-Delegate B. S.
Mcclure Of Oklahoma has introduced
bill into congress which, if tits past,
i. will enable the new state of Oklahoma
70 tax large portion of the lands in
he Indian Territory. He says the
measure is of as much or even more
Importance than the Curtis act which
broke up tribal governments in the
territory. One Of the big problems
confronting the new state is the ques-
tion of raising revenues in the Indian
Territory. AS long as the land titles
remain as they are there is no way to
tax lands, and there is not enough
personal property there to maintain
county governments one week in a
year.
He proposes to place all Indians, ex-
cept the fullbloods, on the same plane
as white people so far as land holding
.is concerned. His bill removes all
restrictions on lands owned by mixed
bloods and also all surplus lands own
cd by fullbloods. This done the new
gsLate will be able to tax all landIex-
except fullblood homesteads and the
Lhomesteads are limited from forty to
ll6O acres, depending on what tribe the
EIndians belong to. MCGUIRE has
sounded Senator Clapp, chairman of
lbhe senate committee on Indian af-
sfairs, and finds him favorable to the
plan. He hopes that Curtis, of the
'honse committee, will support the
measure. When Curtis returns from
his senatorial fight he will be urged to
lget behind the measure. If he does
Ist is expected to 60 through. The Nc
aulFe bill declares all Indians Of the
csd. new state to be citizens of
s1jnra States with equal rights
- StlohS and immunities Of other
\. guizens.

snhsfitutes for Hay.

During the year farmers should not
overlook the matter of growing those
well-known substitutes for hay that
mature quickly and yield well, such as
oats, fodder corn, millet and even peas
In mentioning oats it is not intended
to suggest the sowing of the seed for
the purpose of securing a yield OF
grass, but to cut the crop only when II
Is in the milky state, or just previous
to ripening OF course, some farmers
object to what they regard as meth
cd that entails the loss of the grain
but on fertile farms there will gener
ally be fair crop of hay, while or
light soils the farmer must resort to
such substitutes as will give the best
results. Oats. If cut just before the
tine OF ripening, yield crop of straw
r.ch in nutritious matter, being tender
keeping green and which will De rel
ished by the cattle and horses. The
mode Of feeding Is to take the Gun
dies of oats Cor sheafs) and pass them
through a cutter, chopping straw and
heads together, the whole being mass
Of immature grain and straw. A small
quantity of ground grain is added to
the cut oats and fed to the stock. Tit,
advantage of thus harvesting and pre-
pairing oats Is that the whole of the
straw can be utilized, while the time
required for growth is shortened. Even
on rich, heavy lands this mode of har
ycst'ng is a good one where difficulty

Dark Fire-Cured Tobacco.

In 1904 the Bureau of Soils began 8
series of experiments in Appomattox
county, Virginia, with the object Of de-
termining by practical commercial tests
what may be accomplished in these
older tobacco-growing sections. An
acre of land was fortified after the
usual farmers method with 400 pounds
Of fertilizer, costing So an acre, and
furnishing twelve pounds of ammonia,
tEirty-six pounds of phosphoric acid,
twelve pounds of potash. A second
acre plat was fortified with $50
pounds of home-mixed fertilizer, costing
$16.44, and containing seyenty-three
and one-half pounds Of ammonia, fifty
seven pounds of phosphoric acid and
seventy-tive pounds Of potash, and a
third acre plat received LOO pounds
of home-mixed fertilizer, costing $780,
and giving 1913 pounds Of ammonia, 100
pounds of phosphoric acid and 12j
pounds of potash. The acre fortified
after the usual farmers method yield
ed 673 pounds Of tobacco, which sold
for $45.50 gross, or an average of 6N
cents pound. The second acre plat
produced SS3 pounds, selling for $S1.09,
or an average Of 9A cents pound,
and the third acre plat yielded 1884
pounds, which sold for $111.29, or 20
cents pound. To keep the product of
the plats uniform the number of plants
set per acre was 4,200, 5000 and 5000
respectively, and the net profit men
toned in the order given was s., S21
and 500.
