PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

The census of 1900 announced to the
world that the entire population of the
state of Nevada at that time totaled
some IL, 1886 souls. OF this number
35,405 were white, while the remainder
were divided rs follows; African, l3l
Indian, 5,2l6; Chinese. 1.I52; japanese
22S.
Out of the total population 30, 1
were native born, the foreign born
totaling 10. O03. There were 2j,GO3
males and 10, 732 females. The state at
that time boosted of hut one town of
oyer 2000 population, and that was
Reno. Lovelock was credited with hay
ing between 1000 and 5000 residents,
while Elko, tho third largest town in
the state, numbered its residents some
where between 800 and 1000.
1t remains for the census of 1910 to
show to the world the advancement
made by this state during the past ten
years, and it is safe to presume that the
percentage of increase will proportion
ately equal that of any other state in
the union.
AS u matter of speech, il may be
said that only during the past decade
the world became acquainted with
Nevada. IT'S true that during the
civil wal this old battle born state furn-
ished the sinews with which to carry on
the strife, but in the rapid strides of

and al fill the Golfers OF the national
treasury to Overlooking. with precious
metals.
Where ten years ago there was moth
ing but the desert waste as far as the
eye could reach. today the panorama is
changed in its entirety.
In southern Nevada-take Nye county
alone--the present census will probably
show the population to equal that of the
entire state ten years ago. Southern
Nevada has opened up n number OF
mining camps, which today are cities
In the northern section of the state
vast irrigation projects have been intro
duced and what was waste of sand
few years ago. is today u land of cult

product is raised in II profitable manner

SAN FRANCISCO, June 15.-George
d. Collins, the San Francisco lawyer,
convicted of perjury arising out of his
trial for bigamy, and who has passed
nearly five years in the county jail
while fighting his case, in the superior
court through all tribunals up to the
United States supreme court. probably
will be taken to San Quentin tomor-
row to commence serving his sentence
of IA years.
The order of the supreme court deny
ing his application for writ of habeas
corpus, was received from Washington
today. His commitment will be ready
tomorrow.
Collins only recourse, now that he
has been defeated in his fight for liber-
ty in every court in the land, appears
to be a petition to Governor Gillett for
pardon.
Collins was tried for bigamy. The
Jury disagreed. and when his second
trial neared. he fed to British Column
bia, and fought extradition for weeks,
carrying his case to the highest court
in Canada.
