HOW ABOUT IT?

The question has been raised as
TO whether the reward offered by
the State of Nevada can Re legally
distributed. 1t is cited that the
proclamation Offering the reward
stated"fo the arrest and conviction
of" etc. OF course it is known that
this was not carried out to the
letter. and again il has never been
proven that the Indians killed
were the murderers of the sheep
and cattlcmen. circumstantial al
evidence was strong against them
as the guilty parties, but that is
not proof positive Appeal.

THE COTTON INDUSTRY

There exists in the archives of
one of the oldest among the cotton
spinning families in northern New
Jersey long letter from banker
of New York addressed to
Alexander Hamilton when he was
secretary of the treasury. The
banker had heard that Hamilto
purposed to build cotton mill at
Paterson, N j. This project the
banker condemned and stated that
it was the opinion of all the
merchants IN New York whom he
knew that not in hundred years
would the cotton milling business
in the United States employ 200.
Hamilton went ahead and
planned the industrial town he
named Paterson and also planned
and financed company for de-
veloping a water power and for
''"'SihS NoHpOI dlluuS tDeTPHI.
Hamilton's original company
known as the Society For Useful
Manufactures. exists to this day
at Patterson.
The agent whom Hamilton sent
to England to buy cotton mill
machinery was instructed to have
IL knocked down" and placed in
small boxes that were to be
marked bibles For the Moravians
of Pennsylvania" 1t was at that
time against the laws OF England
to ship any kind of industrial
machinery out of the klndgom.

agents were caught trying to ship
the cotton mill machinery to
Paterson and they were imprisoned

WHAT OTHERS THINK
OF SENATOR NEWLANDS

Senator Newlapds, of Nevada is
mentioned among the democratic
possibilities for Presidential
nomination.
Newlands would make a good
president. He is man of force,
vigor, of character, of initiative.
He is far from snowy; he is not a
mangnetic orator-and therefor
in the estimation of only too many
he does not rank as high as num-
hers who have far more outward
veneer and far less intrinsic merit.
Really Nnwiands is one of the
best men of the nation. Sacra-
mento Bee.

THE STATE UNIVERSITY

Attention is called to tie ad OF
the Nevada state university in
this issue. This institution hold 8
high place in the educational world
and offers better inducements to
the young men and women than
any other university or college on
the coast.
The course of study offer a wide
range to the youth of Nevada.
The faculty is composed of earnest
men and women who have been
chosen for their respective posi-
tions for their ability to impart
instruction in their various fields.
The graduates Of the Nevada
state university are able to com.
pete with those of more pre-.
tcntious institutions. In no case
that has come to our notice have
they been compelled to take a
back seat.
The youth of Nevada will find no
institution Of learning on the
Pacific cOIst that will give them
better opportunity TO procure an
education than does their own
state university.

study and othrc information.

DYNAMITING GOLD At

ing startled passersby. and upon
Investigation. proved TO be an
extraordinary affair. A stamp
stem had broken, and upon open

was so firmly packed with hard
gold analgan that a stick of
dynamite had to be used to
loosen it up in order to remove
the ocoke stem. Great chunks of
amalgam. half gold and worth
thousands of dollars, were re-
moved. but that below the top
of the dies was not disturbed.
The stamp was soon in place

SPUD PRODUCTION

Just what the potato production
of Mason Valley was for the last
season we are unable to estimate
but there were shipped out over
the Nevada Copper Belt railroad
last fall, winter and spring ZIG
cars of the tubers or 3.42l5 tons.
This means 6.Sd3,00O pounds, or
over $4,000 sacks of 10 pounds
each, and at the average price of
SIS per ton the valne Of the ship.

not the full crop of the valley as
many spuds were hauled by wagon

and shipped direct from Wabuska.

The total length of the canal
from deep water in the Caribbean
4l-feet depth at mean tide, is
practically so miles, Is miles of
which are at sea level. The varia-
tlon IN the tide On the Atlantic
side is 2.5 feet as a maximum.
and on the Pacific it is gil feet as
a maximum.
Provisions are made to amply
protect the entrances of the canal.
During the winter months occa-
slonal storms occur on the Atlantic
side. of such violence that vessels
cannot lie with safety in Colon
habor. and during the progress of
such storms entrance and egress
from the canal could be unsafe.
To overcome this condition a
breakwater vii! extend cut about
two. miles from TorU Point in a
notheasterly direction, which will
not only protect the entrance but
will provide safe harhor.
Whether protection on the east SIDE
will be ultimately necessary is
still an open question.
The Pacific entrance requires no
protection from storms. but the
set Of the silt.bearing current
from the east is at right angles to
the channel and the sitting made
instant dredging necessary. To
prevent this shoaling a dixie is
being constructed from the main
land at Balboa to Naos island. a
distance Of about four miles: the
benefit derived from it are already
very marked.
The projected lake will subj
merge the tracks Of the Panama
rail- Dad for the greater part of
its length and as this roal is
necessary for construction pur-
poses and ultimately for the opera
tion and maintenance of the canal
it is being reconstru ted through
oCt, with the exception Of a few
miles at either end. Ii vas
originally intended to pass the
new railroad through Culebra cut
on a BERN, len feet above the
water surface to be left for this
purpose during the excavation Of
the channel through the cut. but
the slides and the al solutc
necessity for keeping open rail-
road communication between the
two ends of the line ncccssitated
a change in the location and new
line to the cast Of the cut has been
selected.
In order 70 hold its concession,
the French company continued
work on the canal up to the time
that the United States assumed
control. and after the transfer nf
rights and property was formally
mad. the excavation was carrie d
on hy the United States with the
various tools and aIpliar ccs then
in use.

its own immediate outposts,
which in the aggregate. have 900.
600 or 100000 people. she will
have to surrender the leadership to
the German capital.
1t must he understood that the
term London, when used in the
population figures. means much
more than the city of that name.
The city and county of London
have fewer people than has New
York. Greater" London COM
prises many suburbs which have
only very tenuous connection
with the big city. If there were a
a Gre ter" NeN York in the
sense of the Greater" London il
wnuli have over 5000, 600 people.
This would cover the entire
METROPOLITAN district and
extend not only into Westcheste-
county but cross the Hudson into
the State Of New Jersey. State
lines and even county lines furnish
obstacles to the extension of
municipal limits whIch are un.
known to European countries. A
simple act of the Prussian Diet
added 100000 people t. Berlin's
total. The consent of neither the
old city nor the suburbs was asked
regarding the annexation. By the
mere process If accretion and an
occasional moTing of boundaries
outward London may at some time
comprise half or a third of Eng
land.
But while New York is only the
the second city in the world in
population, it is the first in
wealth .and the first in the volume
and variety of its activities. AS a
port New York passed London ic
1908. The transactions of its
banks exceed London's by 30 per
cent and ,he nInUer of passengers
carried on its street cars and
other public vehicles is 40 per
cent ahaa Of Lon Ions. Moreover.
while the gain in population Of
Greater London was only 10 per
cent in the last decade. that 81
New York city was So per cent.
Even within its present boundaries
New York city will rass London
before 1925; but there are projects
on foot which will add much
more than 100000 to its popula-
tion by annexation. New York is
the financial metropolis of
country which has double the
population, almost double the
wealth, and many times the re.
sources and the room for growth
of Great Britain. The world has
