Crazy Nevada Rivers

1t is astounding to read that Reese
river in Nevada is ont of its banks, for
in the memories of the few who remain.
who once bivouacked on its stormy
banks, Reese river is little more than a
ribbon of silver making labored voy-
age through an ocean of sand. with a
sagebrush border. bearing here and
there a shrub and pnce in "A while a
wild currant bush, sent there to cheer
the birds and give them something sour
to eat in the long August days when
the alkali comes up close to the surface
and the craving of animal life is for
something sour, and the more acid the
better. That Reese river has fOrsaken
its ancient staid ways, and has gone
out of its banks is a wonder and the
Humboldt. that is like a squad, biggest
when first hatChel. it, too. is behaving
shamefully. In small but select
circle, Nevada rivers have seemed to
contract the disease that smoto the Seine
a month ago.-GOodwin's Weekly.
