NOW IS OPPORTUNE
PERIOD IN NEVADA

Salt Lakers returning from the
various mining camps and business
centers of the State of Nevada
agree that there never has been a
time in the resurrection period of
the past few years when the oppor-
tunity for making money Was more
favorable than right now, says the
Salt Lake Tribune. Opportunity,
they say, knocks at your door, and
there is every argument for those
who are able so to do to round up
some of the bargains now reposing
on the counters of the State.
Mining properties especially are
held very reasonably by owners,
and many propositions once held at
exorbitant prices are to be had for
almost no more than the obligation
to get down to work and develope
the gound. 1t is realized, however,
that the cause of this condition
oprates as hard against the average
man taking advantage of these
bargains, and that is the difference
of getting ready money. But
the fact remains that now is the
opportune hour to investigate Ne
vada mining propositions, gold pro-
perties especially in view of the
renewed interest in gold mining,
and now and then one hears of a
Salt Laker slipping out into the
Sagebrush State to take look for
himself.

IDEAS ABOUT THE RAINBOW

In many countries the rainbow is
spoken of as being a great bent
pump or siphon tube, drawing
water from the earth by me-
chanical means. Inparts of Russia,
in the Don country, and also in
Moscow and vicinity, it is known
by a name which is equivalent to
the "the bent water-pipe." In
nearly all Slavonia dialects it is
known by terms signifying "the
cloud siphon," and in Hungary it
is "the pump" "Noah's pump
and Gods pump" The Malayan
natives call it manded water
cobra, only that they add "boba"
(meaning double-headed), the
equivalent in our language being
"the double-headed water-snake."
They tell you that the bow is a
real thing of life, that it drinks
with it's two mouths, and that the
water is transferred to the clouds
through an opening in the upper
side of the center of the great
arch. In the province of Charkav,
Russia the rainbow is said to drain
the wells, and to prevent this many
are provided with heavy, tight.
filing stone platforms.
In the province of Saratov the
bow is said to be under the control
of three angels, one of whom pumps
the water, the second feeds" the
clouds, and the third sends the rain
Many improbable and impossible
things would happen If you coulG
only get in reach of "the bow"
The little Turk is told that if he
would have a silver head, will
gold teeth and ruby eyes, he has
but to touch the orange stripe. II

end Of the bow will have his o,

WHEN THE FISH EXPLODED

Somebody discovered. that fish
are fond of gasoline, and this led
to the idea of soaking worms in
gasoline in order to make them
more alluring when used for bait.
Mark the result.
Two of those gasoline-tempted
fish exploded in the frying pan,
and broke the kitchen window and
blew the cooks face full of mashed
potato, and hurled the teakettle
into the -four barrel, and painted
the kitchen ceiling with stewed
tomatoes.
Call it a lying world and let it go

Red Top. Conn, June 18.-The Harvard

boat in the race with Yale, instead of the
new one. This decision was reached this
afternoon on the return of the eight from

one stretch and came back in two, the
boat moving along we'll.
Further shifts were made in the varsity

became so severe that the gallery soon

storm.
The first three miles of the race were TO

COLUMBIA CREW SHAKE-UP
Rice Takes Saunders Out of
Varsity Boat, Puts Murphy In.
by Telegraph to The Tribune.

Poughkeepste, n. Y. June 1S-Columbia' s
varsity eight, picked by many as cornelrs
most dangerous rival for college rowing
honors received a shake-up to-day. Saun-
ders, veteran of two Columbia crews, was
ousted from No 4. and Murphy, man six
teen pounds lighter. put in his place.
Saunders was absent for three weeks this
spring a geological trip with his class
and returned to the crew only two weeks
ago. He was at once put back in his old
place and made boat captain. Murphy was
the stroke of last years varsity, and was
displaced this spring by Clapp after the
Navy race. Since then Murphy has been
stroking the four Moore was to-day
moved from No. 2 to stroke of the four
and Saunders went in at No. 2.
The Cornell varsity and freshman crews
had a fine two-mile brush this afternoon.
First one would squirt ahead and then the
other. At the finish there not two
feet difference and both claimed the vic
tory This emphasized the fact. already
suspected, that the Cornell varsity is in
slump, but it also made 1t apparent that
Courtneys first-year men are exceptionally

cred his strength entirely
Ellis Ward gave Pennsylvania varsity
another time trial this morning. The con-
ditions were perfect The men rowed we'll
and again improved on the time of the day
before for the last mile. Reath held the
stroke little lower than on the preceding
day Syracuse went down just after Penn
sylvania, and there was noticeable differ
ence in the way the two crews rowed the
final mile.
In the afternoon Ward gave his varsity
light work only. but raced his fours. Bells
reorganized four won out by three lengths

rowed the second by fully three times that
distance. for Browne steered them all over

If the QuakerS well on Saturday

not be surprising to see them beat out

Wisconsin has not shown in its work

me race should be a little closer than
usual. with the odds in favor of Cornell
and Columbia more or less of a dark horse.
The first three crews to finish should be
Cornell, Columbia and Pennsylvania, pos
sibly in the order named.
From past performances the Cornell and
Columbia freshmen should have a corking
good struggle In the freshman race, for
the one has decisively defeated Harvard
and the other has given just as solid
beating to Yale Of course. Harvard may
have freshman crew that will overwhelm
the Yale freshies and then Cornell should
trim the Columbia youngsters handily.
Syracuse is the dark horse in this race
Little hope is held out for either Pennsyl-
vania or Wisconsin, however, for both
crews row very poorly.
The race for four-oared crews promises
to be of the best contested of the
day, for Cornell and Syracuse have good
tours and the Columbia crew will bear
watching. The Cornell four is almost a
veteran combination, while the Syracuse
crew has men who at one time or another
have occupied varsity seats. The Columbia
four is stroked by Murphy, who stroked
the New York four two years ago and
paced the varsity eight last season and
most of the present spring. The other
three men have all had plenty of expert
ence. Although Rice has not said much
about his crew, he has been watching 1t
very closely. Ellis Ward has had the job
of his life In puzzling out his varsity four.
All last week he shuff1ed his men first this
way and then that
All in all. Cornell has three good crews,
and IT would not be altogether surprising
to see the Ithacans sweep the river again.
Columbia seems to be second best all
around, while Pennsylvania and Syracuse
are apparently we'll matched.
