NEvADA's IRRIGATION PLAN
More Wealth Will Come From the
Soil Than From the Mines, it is
Planned

Nevada has two main sources or
wealth-its soil and its mines--and
the former will probably outstrip the
latter when fully developed by irci.
cation. The old 'Comstock mines are
practically dead unless good ore is
found below the present working
level, but in Tonopah and Goldield
shape which will pay good dividends
for years. The new camps around
Tonopah and Goldfield have been hurt
by wildcat manipulators, but the
new district is too rich to be injured
permanently. The financial strin-
gency seriously hurt the develop
ment of the mines, but this year
promises great progress.
The Truckee-Carson irrigation pro
ject, on which the Government will
spend $9,000.OOO, promises to do more
for Nevada than its mines. The sol!
is very rich and when water IS
brought upon it any crop may be
grown profitably. More than 100000
acres are brought under irrigation by
canals from the Truckee River. FL
ings are now being made on this
land. In addition to irrigation the
canals, which drop 1000 feet from
the Truckee source, will furnish enor-
nous electric power. Reno is the
commercial centre of Nevada ard

in two years. The Southern Pacific
Railroad shops at Sparks employ 600
men all the time. The Western Pa

A

BY Ann PORTER

Sophia Norris, spinster, stood be-

there is soul at home," she said
angrily, giving the bell last fierce

door suddenly opened and maid

How many times do you expect
to hear the bell ring before you see

The girl looked frightened. "Ex-
cuse me, mum,' she said, "but I
didn't hear the bell was out in
the yard hanging out Miss Helen's
white dress and"
Never mind" interrupted the
mate lady as she entered the hail.

Yes, mum; Miss Helen is sham

Miss Sophia frowned 81 will go

AS she approached the back porch
laughing voice called out, sally,
was it book agent? l saw an old
lady's bonnet as peeped around the
corner and | knew it was either 3
book agent or an old lady with a
tract" THE girl turned her head to
smile at Sally, but her expression
quickly changed when she beheld her
aunt gazing grimly at her. "why
Aunt Sophia" she said, as she rose
with outstretched hand This is a
surprise"
The old lady glared at her. Helen
Norris, you must have heard that
bell. Why didn't you answer it,"
Dear Aunt Sophia, couldn't go
to the door. Can't you see my stream
ing hair? The fact is while you
were ringing the bell Twas wringing
my hair. Sally was wringing out
my white dress; in fact. we were
all w-ringing." She smiled mis-,
chievously into her aunt's face.

WHY WOOD DECAYS.
Governments Seeks Methods for Pro

Government Seeks Methods for Pro
longing Life of Timber.
Piles driven by the hut jewellers OF
the Baltic centuries ago are as sound
today as when first placed. The
wooden collins in which the Egyptians
buried their dead are still preserved
in perfect condition after thousands
Of years of service.
The longevity of timber under
these two extremes of climate and
moisture conditions has naturally
made people ask-what causes wood
decay? The answer is, fungi and bac-
terra, low forms of plant life which
live in the wood and draw their nour-
ishment from it. The little organisms
are so little that a microscope is re-
quired to see them, yet their work
results in the destruction of billions
of feet of timber each year and the
railroad corporation with its cross-tie
bill running up into seven figures and
the farmer who spends hundred or
so dollars@a year for fence posts
are alike drawing upon the knowF
edge of experts in all parts of the
world in efforts to learn the most
economical and most satisfactory
method of preserving wood against
the inroads of decay
The small organisms can grow
either in light or in total darkness;
but all of them require air, food,
moisture and heat If one or more
of these essential requirements is
lacking they can not live, and the
decay of timber will not take place.
Wood constantly submerged in water
never rots, simply because there is
an insufficient supply of air. This
condition accounts for the soundness
of the old Baltic piles. On the 9TH
er hand, if wood can be kept air dry
it will not decay, because there VIII
then be too little moisture. The tim
Der used by the Egyptians will las!
indefinitely so long as it is bone-dry.
There are great many cases.
however. where it is impossible to
keep wood submerged in water, or in
an absolutely air-dry condition. De.
cay may be prevented by two gener-
al methods-by treating the wood
with antiseptics, thus poisoning the
food supply of the organisms which
cause decay, and by treating it with
oils which render it waterproof. A
combination of these two methods is
most commonly used, as when wood
is treated with creosote, which, fills
UP the pores in the timber and keeps
out water, and is also powerful
antiseptic
The United States Government
considers the Investigations of tie
preservative treatment of timber Of
such Importance that the business OF
one branch o: bureau in the De-
partment of Agriculture-the office ct
wood preservation in the forest
service at Washington-is given over
entirely to the work OF experiments
in cooperation with railroad COM
panies and individuals. in prolonging
the life of railroad ties, mine props,
bridge timbers, fence posts and trans.

Ex-HMPREss EUGENIE,s BIRTH.

Apropos of ex-Empress Eugenie's
projected visit to Ireland a London
paper remarks that she is thus WIS.,
iting the home of her ancestors, she
being descendant of an Irish gen.
tleman"
There is reason to believe that her
Majesty has Irish blood in her veins,
but on the female side she is OF
Scottish, not Irish, descent, her
grandfather having been a member OF
the ancient and distinguished family
of Kirkpatrick of Closeburn. Henri
de Grivegne Of Liege, by his wife,
Antonio Gallegos, had two daughters,
of whom the elder married the Comte
de Lesseps and became the mother OF
Ferdinand de Lesseps of Suez Canal
fame, while the younger married Mr..
Kirkpatrick, who was then United
States Consul at Malaga. The daugh-
ter of Mr. Kirkpatrick. Donna Maria
Manuela, married Don Cipriano de
Guzman Portocarrero, Condo de
Montijo. and Duque de Penavanda,
and was the mother of the ex-Em-
press Eugene. The Portocarrero
family is now represented by the
Duke of Berwick and of Alba, whose
grandfather married Donna Maria
Francisco de Sales, the elder sister
of the Empress, who died in 1860,
and the titles of Montijo and Penav-
anda are borne by the Dukes younger
brother.

(By Garlyle smith,
lore 1t wasen old Jonesey for the
weekend visits me!
Hes such brilliant chappy! He's
rs lively as can be.
DEUm Friday until, Monday he will
sit around the place
With just one set expression on his
solemncholy face.
de holds his tongue SO fast you'd
think somehow he'd got it glued;
And never doth he ope his mouth
except to swallow food;
And if perchance he stoops to smile
it make you think with joy
Of melancholy little Binks, the under
takers boy.
He never learned the game OF bridge
He doesn't care for cards.
He seldom reads. so little knows
about the nations bards.
THE game of golf he does not play.
| rather guess he thinks
IT'S foolish chasing rubber balls
about silly links.
At billiards he's duffer, and he al
ways tears the cloth
As though he were descended from
the Vandal and the Goth.
He doesn't care for children, and de-
spises monographs,
And elevates his eyebrows If some
other fellow laughs.
For gardening he has no taste. He
deems a rake bore;
re ever he wants flowers he can buy
em at the store.
And when the thrush his early song
at Jonesey's window sings
He's apt to say he thinks that birds
are beastly noisy things;
And if the cricket starts to chirp his
little evening twit
Old Jonesey rises from his chair and
tries to step on it.
And il the Riddles try charades, with
sacrif1cial air
He sits and yawns and goes to sleep
slumped in rockingham!
OF horses he is much afraid-no
horseback stunts for Jones!
He doesn't care to risk his limbs
or break his inner bones:
And as for motors, goodness me! the
things he's never tried.
Because he really thinks they're tan
tamount to suicide.
You couldn't get him in car for all
the cash in sight!
And as for riding round the land, as
some folks do, at night,
He thinks 1t is crime to run at
any time of day
A locomotive without tracks along
the public way!
He doesn't care for supper late. He
seldom touches meat.
For Ash ne has no liking. and "he
doesn't live to eat
A little bit of spinach he allows is
sometimes nice,
But on the whole he much prefers
boiled hominy or rice.
And yet despite his funny ways love
to have him come
And spend week enl with me down
at my rural home
don't enjoy him while he's there,
but how my spirit CLOVIS
When Monday comes and Jonesey
packs his suitcase p-an;. goes.
