Large Increase in Cane Acreage.

From all Indications there will be
a large increase in the acreage
planted this year to cane In Vermil-
lion parish. The success Of the new
cooperative sugar. 1atcory at Deli
cambres the building OF new fac
tory at Erath, which will be ready
to operate this fall, the entering Of
this territory by representatives OF
the large central factories in other
parishes soliciting cane contracts
and the remunerative prices paid for
cane, have caused many small farm
ers to abandon cotton wherever they
are in hailing distance of the rail-
road.

LaSallc Parish Now Entity.

The officers Of the parish Of La.

discharge Of the. duties of their re.

of that parish is now complete. The
new parish starts out under a heavy
burden, having to bear the expense
of transcribing and transferring the
public records and erecting and
equiping courthouse, Jail and all
of the other necessary public build
ings and offices. The parish, how
ever, will get portion of the rev.
enues collected in Catahoula for the
year 1909, and as the territory Of the
new parish is composed largely Of
timbered lands, the sassessment will
be approximately $4,000,000 for
several years, which will furnish rev.
enue sufficient to enable the par
ish to get on a solid finarcial basis
in the course Of a few years.

SAND MOUNTAINS WEALTH
Amounts In Round Numbers To
Two Hundred Million
Dollars.

Two hundred million dollars in
precious, shining yellow metal is con-
cealed among the sands Of Sand
Mountain, and the corporation that is
planning to place at least portion of
this treasure into circulation is having
exhaustive cyaniding tests made to
demonstrate the feasibility Of working
the sands containing the proven values
of gold to determine, if possible, just
what margin of profit, if any there is,
will come to them Us a result Of a
judicious investment in the proper kind
of machinery.
Monday a five hundred pound lot of
samples was brought into Fallon from
the mountain and on the following day
it was shipped to an outside point for
cyaniding. The cost will be carefully
noted and later the test sampling plant,
which is alieady here, will be installed
and the question worked out definitely
The bad season experienced to date has
been responsible for the. test plant S
disuse.
Those who secured the samples state
that contrary to expectations, no snow
is to be found on the surface of the
sand mountain, although the valleys
nearby are covered to depth of near
ly foot The moist sides Of the
mountain are not even frozen, forcing
one to the conclusion that within the
mountain is a warmth stored by sum-
mer's hot sunshine that will not be
downed by the extreme efforts OF Jack
Frost.

The Coolest Winter.

The fact that there has been more
or less snow on the ground since the
first storm early in November sug-
gests thai the Indians in this neck of
the woods predicted last fall that the
present winter would be the coolest
known in Nevada for some years.
They based their prediction, as an
old Shoshone put it, on the fact that
the pinenuts had shell about twice
as thick as usual, the pine trees evil
IDENTIFY having information ahead of
the Signal Service. The Indian is a
born naturalist, and by such signs as
the squirrel laying up an extra supply
of provender, or less than usual. they
gage the winter months ahead.
All of which reminds one of Bill
Nye's infallible tests for coming
weather. Bill said that if the silk ON
an ear of growing corn was extra long
it meant that the winter would be
colder than the summer, but that if
the silk was short it meant that the
summer would be warmer than the
winter. Appeal.

Official Seems in Error.

The postmaster general of the
United States explains the deficit for
1909 as due largely TO the fact that
newspapers and other printed matter
are transported at less than actual cost
This is a remarkable assertion to make
Ia view of the fact that express rates
are in nearly all instances less than
that charged by the government.
If the report by the postmaster
general is intended as a suggestion
that the rates on printed matter be in
creased, it is one that every publisher
in the United States should be interested
in, as well as every reader, because the
latter is the real beneficiary or injured
one in the event Of any decrease or in
crease in the cost of providing him
with publications. Gazette.

KEvAOA'S RAILROAD BUILDING
Is Considerable And Indicates
Rapid Future Growth OF
Various Sections.

The Reno Gazette says the extension
of railroad lines in the state Of Nevada
during the past few years has been
and still is a matter of local comment.
During the past decade the Southern
Pacific Company reconstructed a con-
siderable portion of its main line, at a
cost of millions of dollars, established
its shops and terminals at Sparks and
Inlay and acquired and broadgauged
the Carson and Colorado railroad, now
known as the Nevada and California
road.
In the same period the Virginia and
Truckee railroad was extended from
Carson City to Minden, with prepara-
tions now being made to push the end
of steel through Carson Valley into
California.
Two additional transcontinental roads
have laid tracks across the state. They
are the San Pedro, Los Angeles and
Salt Lake and the Western Pacific.
A broad gauge road, l80 miles in
length. has been built from Cobre to
Ely. A railroad has been constructed
from Nina TO Tonopah and Goldfield,
while from the latter camp two lines,
the Tonopah and Tidewater and the Las
Vegas and Tonopah, give direct COM
munication with the great south.
These are by no means all the roads
that have been built in the state dur
ing this period. One runs from the To-
nopah and Goldfeld line to Blair and
another from Pioche to the main line of
what is known as the Clark road.
Not satisfied with this gridironing of
Nevada by the construction of several
thousand miles of railroad, there are
surveys made for at least two other
lines, which promise to be constructed
in the near future. One is the Ely-To-
nopah and the other an extension of
the Tonopah and Goldfeld road across
the Sierra.

SETTLERS FORCED TO MOVE
Off Pyramid Lake Indian Res
ervation. Hardships Will
Follow.

A prominent attorney of Reno has
stated that settlers on lands of the
Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation
have received word from the United
States Government that they must
give up their homes and move off OF
Government land and also that those
people in the old town of Wadsworth
residing on reservation land will
have to abandon their homes. These
people have lived on the reservation
for years and many of them have fine
homes. If the statement is true, as
it is believed that it is, it will mean
that many settlers will suffer great loss
through this action of the Government
and find themselves homeless.
Many of the settlers own ranches
and large fields which yearly yield
them good profits from hay, grain and
vegetables. 1t is stated that all OF
these ranches which happen to be on
the reservation, will be forfeited to the
Government for the use of the Indian.
