owners Of this Vest ride property rave
the Water Power company 8 half st
their land ii conside ation of the max
ing of the proposed Improvements.
This land is now very valuable, none
being worth less than $500 per acre.
and much Of it worth more than 81 ,OO0
per acre. Before the improvements
were started, however, it was of small
value and the owners who gave half
their property as bonus have many
they had before. AS an additional in
ducement bonds to the amount Of 500.
600 were voted in the following
amounts by the civil organizations
Morrison county $25, 600; village of
Little Falls $25, QUO town of Little Falls
SIS, 900; town of Pike Creek SIS. 900
town of Belle Prairie $4,000 These
bonds were made and placed in escrow
in the Firct National Bank of St. Paul,
awaiting the final completion of the
improvements. 1t will pc seen that
the company has received princely
gift from the people, yet the public
and private outlay is bringing returns
in prosperity to all. The bonus given
has enabled the company to offer the
most liberal Inducements to manufac-
turers. and that is the reason. combin-
ed with the excellence of the power
itself, that makes it certain that in
less than a year more power will be
used in running machinery at the Little
Falls water power than at all the other
improved water powers on the Missis-
sippi combined, outside of Minneapolis.
The company is offering the best and
most permanent power in the northwest
almost as a gift to manufacturers, and
the Offers are being accepted with a
snddenness that astonishes the resi-.
dents of some of the other cities where
inferior natural advantages and cheap.
ly constructed improvements combine
to form what are far from perfect wat
er powers. Although obtaining but
comparatively small direct return fol
the use of the power, the indirect re-
turns to the company are great. Tn
establishment of manufacturing indus
tries here will make their large tracts
of land still more valuable, and by
liberal policy they will in few year
bring their stock up to many times it
par value.

More lumber was cut in United States
last year that in any other year in its
history. The enormous amount of 3D.
$50, 1876 board feet was produced, and
the mill value of this was $62l, l51, 1888.
In addition, there were produced l 4, ,s59,-
260, 900 shingles, valued at $24. 155, 155,
and 1872, ,807, 900 lath, vaIlled mt $1l,-
490.57 On the whole. it is safe to say
that the present annual lumber cut of
the United States approximates 40
billion feet, and that the total mill value
of the lumber, lath and shingles each
year produced is not less than 300. 000,-
00O These figures give some idea of
how vast is the lumber industry and
how great is the demand for its prod
ucts.
a glance at the kinds of lumber pro-
duced shows very cleary the passing of
white pine and oak, one the greatest
softwOod and the other the greatest
hardwood which the forest has ever
grown. Since 1899 the cut of white
pine has fullen off more than 40 per
cent, while that of white oak has fallen
off more than,45 per cent, Today
yellow pine leads all other woods in
amount cut, while Douglas fir-and this
will be surprise to many-comes
second. Since 1899 the cut of Douglas
fir has increased 1856 per cent. Louisiana
is the foremost yellow pine state, with
Texas. Mississippi and Arkansas follow
ing in order Washington produces by
far the greatest amount of Douglas fir.
a comparison OF the lumber-produc-
ing states shows that since 1890 there
have been many changes in their rel
ative rank. Washington, which in 1890
stood sixth, now leads, while Wisconsin,
which eight years ago led all others, is
now third. III the same period Oregon.
Louisiana, Mississippi, Idaho and Cali
ifornia made great strides rs lumber
producing states, though, on the other
hand the amount produced in Michigan,
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Georgia, Ken
Ohio fell off anywhere from 90 to "a per
cent.
The highest priced native woods are
walnut, hickory and ash, and the cheap
est are larch and white fir. From the
fact, however, that since 1899 the ave
rage increase in the price of lumber has
been 10 per cent, it will not be long be-
fore cheap woods are few and far he
tween. Exchange. ...

Elko. Nevada. Friday. May l, 1903.

Ormsby county district court by Attor-
ney General Stoddard. The complaint
was filed as the results of IN order pass
ed by the state board of bank commits
sioners declaring the bank insolvent and
deciding that u receiver should he ap-
pointed to better protect the interests of
the depositors.
The state board also uksed that Judge
Langan issue restraining order pre-
venting the officers or stockholders of
the bank from transacting any business
or otherwise carrying on anything in
connection with the affairs of the bank.
This will be sent to Judge Langan this
morning for his signature and as soon as
it is signed Bank Examiner Hofer will
take charge of the banks and retain con-
troll of the branch banks at Carson City,
Tonopah. Goldfeld, Manhattan and
Blair until hearing is had and the
court either grants or rejects the petit
ton of the board. The case will be
heard on May 18th i'll the district court
in the capital ut 10 o'clock.
The complaint is lengthy one and it
almost completely reviews the banking
situation and the affairs from the be-
ginning. The suit is brought by the
State of Nevada on relation of John
Sparks, w. g. Douglass and D. NJ. Ryan
the three men composing the banking
commission of Nevada and the following
are the defendants, State Bank and
Trust company, G.. II. Meyers, l. p.
Woodbury., w. Brougher, c. T Bender,
A. Livingston, G. w. Mapes, J. P.
Peterson and First John Doe, true name
unknown, the duly elected, qualified
and acting directors of the said corpora
ton, T. B. Hickey; and then the sheriffs
and constables of Ormsby, Nye and Es-
meralda counties. The county officers
are made defendants because of the
fact that a number of attachments have
been filed on the bank and the plaintiffs
in the present case want all of such at
tachments dissolved and the persons at
taching to take their chances with the
remainder of the creditors of the bank
The complaint sets ont that Bank En-
aminer Major Fl. Miller first examined
into the condition of the bank immedi-
ately after it closed and reported that
the bank was insolvent and was unsafe
to transact business That the bank
closed on October 23rd, 1907 and has re-
mained closed since that time. The
complaint also sets out that the total IL
abilities of the hanl, oro ii B2O 27o yybila
the total assets only amount to 81 ,229, 3O3
or thereabouts, thus the bank is insol-
vent, according to the state bank COM
mission to the amount of 1851 900. The
amount of insolvency rs set out in the
complaint is about that reported by
Bank Examiner Miller when he made
his last report short time before he
resigned his Office several months ago

An Italians Impression Of Ely :

Antonio Scarfoglio. the special CORES

accompanied the Italian car OH the New

ions of Ely in the following:
We reached Ely at last q 1t was p.
III. then, and that city of wood and can
vas was quite deserted, for all the men
were still at work in the mines of copper
and silver. The population do not sleep
in houses. They live under huge white
tents shaken and laccrated by the winds,
or in tiny huts built Of rough boards
held together with mud.
There is one hotel the phenomenon
tho pride Of that city which is not city
The inhabitants care for nothing. They
are dcliriOus with the money fever,
They, the telegraph and the railway are
the great adventures, all hungry for
gold. ... ......
Eight months ago man knocked q
rock with his hammer and thus Ely was
born. A whole population rushed to the
precious spot, and they were like an
urmy Of ravens, or like II multitude of
flies falling upon Il lump of sugar.
Hundreds and hundreds of mcn-and
women too 49, FASTENED to this rayine
from all parts of the world. And the
city Is growing. II is ugly and dirty,
for the inhabitants throw refuse on the
streets.
Three years from now the fate of this
city shall have been decided, either tho
miners will have found the silver and
copper they are searching for--and In
that case these walls of canvas and these
miserable huts oC wood will have been
replaced by stone buildings or fortune
will not have smiled upon them, and
then the city will disappear and the
desert will bc once more where the
desert was.
The wind will cover with sand tho
foundations. the first rudiments Of n
