Western Pacific Badly Damaged

A Salt Lake dispatch of the 18th
says:
There will be no through trains over
the Western Pacific railroad for one
week and perhaps longer. A disaster
similar in kind, though of lesser de-
gree than that which overwhelmed the
San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake,
befell the new Gould road during a
short lived tempest yesterday after
noon.
Lashed by the wind, mighty waves
of salt-laden water beat down upon the
Western Pacific roadbed where it cross
es the Great Salt Lake, tore out long
stretches of track and piled masses of
debris on other portions. Examination
today showed that ten miles of the line
must be repaired and two or three miles
rebuilt before trains can pass.
When the line was constructed the
lake was several feet below it's present
level and the elevation of the rails was
ample.
The subsequent rise of the water
brought them within splashing distance
of the ties and it is no secret that the
officials have long realized the necessity
for reconstruction

Teaching Girls to Ride Horses.

Almost all the little girls who are
taught to ride horses these days are
put on cross saddles. They may or
may not ride astride when they get
bigger, but they all learn that way
1t is a safer position in the first place
and 1T gives confidence never acquired
by a youngster in a side saddle. AS
rule the small equestrienne is clad in
boomers and the briefest of skirts.
Often she discards the skirt when the
lessons are given in the country. The
instructor holds her pony by a lead
ing strap and. Of course. he rides n
horse easily able to overtake her
mount in the event of a bolt. Only
for the first few lessons is the child's
belt buckled to the pommel of her
saddle. Until she acquires q firm
seat she Is kept close enough to the
instructor to be caught by him II she
starts to fall.

Nevada Offers Best Inducements

Papers throughout the coast are filled
with items regarding the opening of
land in Oregon. When the item is gone
over it is shown that it is not a poorman

ditched and the first payment made.
stands the settler in the neighborhood
of 500 per acre. This does not INCLUDE
Improvements.
Nevada at the present time has land
in many sections that can be purchased
and put into condition for less money,
says the Carson Appeal. Since it as
been shown that artesian water is pos
sible il many localities where it was
not supposed to exist, thousands of acres
of Nevada lands have been taken up to
DO reclaimed in this manner Most of
this land has sold for $1.25 per acre.
Experiments i'll reclamation by
pumping where power is cheap has
proven profitable. In number of
places in California land is irrigated
with pump station. In many instances
the water is lifted from depth of over
100 feet. There is hardly sagebrush
flat in this State that will not produce
water at less depth than in the South
ern California. Gasoline engines
throughout California have proven suf-
ficient to irrigate lands where ditch
water had not been available. The
same treatment could be used in this
State with good effect.
When the dispatches are read over
concerning the throwing open of the
Oregon lands it convinces those who
have given the matter any study that
the neglected lands of Nevada, with
the same amount of energy and money
expended, will produce sure crops and
without the high price that is asked
as in the Oregon case Electric and
other modes of irrigation will soon be
adopted throughout the state which will
furnish thousands of acres to the settler
that are now considered useless.
The results Mt Vegas and the Pah-
rump valley are illustrations of what
can be done. Both sections were re-
garded as useless until some one sank a
well and tapped the underhow. The
result is land boom and the land
prices soaring in the air. 1t is not
likely that many Neuadans will at
tempt land Improvement in Oregon
when they look over the schedule pre-
sented by the government.

The day had been sluggish with the
promise Of summer. but the failing after
noon had brought a soft suspiration from
the broad bosom Of the Pacific laden with
a refreshing GOODNESS. The office Of the
Grand hotel was quiet; only a handful OF
lOungers sossiped at the bar and the last
