Some Amazing figures

In the United States there are over
15,O00,000 miles Of telegraph and tele-
phone wires. Out of this number 49,
$685., 666 miles of the wires are devoted
to the telephones and the remainder to
the telegraph system. A single wire of
the same length would encircle the
world over 600 times. Over the tele-
graph wires of the country in the year
1907 flashed 1863, 40, 500 messages, and
this includes the 5,860,317 cablegrams
For the amount of money paid in
salaries and other expenses the tele-
graph business was over three and one
half times as extensive as the telephone
business. The first telegraph line was
opened in the United States in 1s4l and
81 years later the telephone was intro
duced. The capital of the telegraph
and cable corporations is S244, 900, 600
The companies expended for salaries
$17,S09, 249, and for other expenses $24, =

Con. Water Co. 1t is the plan
OF the promoters TO irrigate 200, 900
acres of land lying between Ash Mea-
dows and Amargosa and mostly between
1.-The lines of the L. V. & T. and T. &;
L. railroads Water will be developed
higher up in the Amargosa river bed
and piped to the upper part of the val
ley. 1t is estimated that land with
water right will be put on the market
at 500 90 an acre.
1t is thought that the T. & L. rail
road may be directly interested in the
project. AT least, il is to the extent Of
building up business along the line as it
has already made Il one.third rate for
prospective settlers and is figuring on IL
special freight rate and colonist rates
with the main lines.
At Ash Meadows is located one of the
biggest springs i'll southern Nevada,
but little has ever been done with it.
Above Beatty the Amargosl river rises
and sinks into the sand few miles
below. There is little doubt that
considerable water can be developed;
but how much is a problem. Practi-
cally nothing is being done at present
with the old ranches which already
have water.-Clark County Review. ~

ENCOURAGE CAMP TRADE

the business men Of the city of

the camp trade; that is to have the
camp people feel that they are at

their money.
This 10 . matter Of utmost impoI !.
tance to the welfare Of the future Of
the city and the more money spent in
this city BY the people Of the camps
the more prosperous will our citizens
bscome.
But this can not be done unless
there are some Inducements made for
them to do their shopping here, prove
to them that their trade ia q welcome
asset TO this community and that
when they visit the city, whether
they buy or not, make them feel that
