FINEST COTTON GROWN
IN SOUTHERN Nevada

Cotton in Nevada, only $50 miles
south of Goldfield!
That may seem almost unbeliev-
able to those who know Nevada
only as a desert and who associate
the growing of cotton with the
south. But cotton is grown in
Southern Nevada, and more than
that, it is the best cotton grown
in the United States, and with the
greatest yield.
At the Office of the News there
are some sprigs Of cotton plant
brought from the Pahrump ranch,
in the valley by that name, only a
short distance from the lands of
the Armagosa Land and Irrigation
company. These sprigs were taken
from plant which contained some
200 bolls. When it is recalled that
in parts of the cotton-gowing south
rs bolls is big average, and in the
far-famed Imperial Valley the
plants bear from so to rs bolls, the
superiority of the Pahrump section
for cotton growing becomes mani
fest.
The cotton sprigs at the News
office are for public exhibition,
and all interested are invited to
call and inspect them.-Goldfield

HOW RANGERS MET DEATH

If (the northwestern forest
fire) burned millions of dollars
worth of property and killed
hundreds of people; lots of them
will never be found. it killed over
100 of Idaho's forest rangers-the
bravest men who ever went to
death. Of course the forest
rangers could have saved them
selves if they had not fought too
long and stayed till it was too late.
They simply gave up their lives
trying to save others, and a cloud
of fire overpowered them. or they
were crushed by the falling trees.
! heard of a band of twenty that
had been holding a guard. All at
once they heard a roar louder than
usual, and. looking up, saw that
the fire had overpowered another
band, aud had swept round where
they themselves stood on high
bluff. Then they sought shelter in
a mountain cave, where there was
a spring; out it was no use to any
of them but one-he alone lived to
tell about it. He. breathed that
poisonous gas just few days be-
fore the. fire came. L..
There are lots Of forest rangers
burned, blind and crippled for life,
and they have applied to the govern
ment for help to take them to the
hospital. and for medicine. The
authorities say they can't help,
because the law makes no provision
for such things. Exchange.
