Candidates for members of the
assembly are beginning to come to
the front. Among those who are
not afraid to tell the voters what
they want, is J. B. Fitzgerald, one
of the old timers in the county.
He supports the National democrat
tic platform and the nominees of
the Baltimore convention. He
favors the election of United States
senator's by popular vote and be-
lieves in retrenchment and reform
in the state and county govern.
ments.
Mr.. Fitzgerald has lived in Elko
county many years and has always
taken an active interest in public
affairs. He has the ability and
qualifications necessary to make a
useful member of the state legisla-
ture.
II nominated at the primary
election and elected in November,
he will give the state the best that
is in him. His long residence in
the state andhis knowledge of pub
lie affairs fit him for doing good
work in the Legislature.
We cheefully recommend him tu
the thoughtful consideration of the
democratic voters at the primary
election.

Theory and Exne.iinent

Theory and experiment must go
hand in hand, and much depends on
one as much as on the other, not
merely on its accuracy but also upon
Its nature. Hundreds OF experiments
may be made, which, however, not.
withstanding their refinement and
accuracy, contribute little to the
march Of human progress In the right
direction; they may of course in
ages count for much, but the chief
thing Is that the experiment should
be Of the right kind, and 1t Is often
desirable that as much time, II not
even more time, should be spent in
deciding upon the right thing to be
done than in doing that thing itself.
One bad theory is often worse than
ten bad experiments, because even
II these are properly carried out, they
may yet. II based upon false notions,
add little or nothing, If not to the
store at least to the advancement of
knowledge; and count almost for aa
little as the one bad experiment
whether based upon theory or not

Greater
Corporate

Organized for the purpose of develop
ing the agricultural resources of Humboldt
Valley by conservation and use of the
waste and unused waters.
Ten years ago, the u. S. Geological
Survey said there was sufficient water in
the valley to irrigate 10000 acres Of land.
Today, the Commissioner of Industry,
Agriculture and Irrigation says there are
only $4,000 acres of land under irri-
CATION in the valley.
The profits that will return from recla-
nation of even part of that extra land
Tor which there is water will be very large.
This is the largest and most important
irrigation project in Nevada, and about the
only large one left in the United States not
exploited.
The returns to stockholders will be very
large, and land owners and present water
users who take stock will receive benefits
not granted under any other project
1t is expected that every person inter
eSted in the future prosperity of Humboldt
Valley, or who wants good investment,
will take stock in this company.

GREAT ALASKAN EARTHQUAKE

The United States geological
survey has just published an &C.
count Of one of the ten greatest
earthquakes of historic times that
of the Yakutat bay region of
Alaska.
Although there is no especial
relation between earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions, the recently
reported ear thquake at Fairbanks
as well as the activity among
Alaskan volcanoes gives perhaps
added intrest to this account Of a
natural phenomenon of another
class.
The Yakutat hay earthquake aud
occurred on September 3, 1899.
and was followed during the next
three weeks by many less violent
shocks
The area of the greatest intensity
lay along the banks OF the St. Elias
range. in a region of high mount
aims and suberp glaciers, and the
movement was accompanied by en-
ormous avalanches and rock slides.
This is a vivid demonstration that
the growth of mountains is still in
progress. At some places in the
region the land subsidized and
forests were submerged. At most
places, however, the land rose, and
many points which before had land
below sea level were elevated
above it. Rarnacles which had
lived in sea water were found az
feet above sea level. The study of
the" effect of this earth movement
was under taken by the late Ralph
S. Tarr, of Cornell university, and
Lawrence Martin. of the university
of Wisconsin, and their report of
the work has just been publishded
professional paper 50 of the
United States geological survey,
with a preface by G K. Gilbert.
In addition to making an exhaus-
tive study of the movements of the
land which took place in the
Yakutat bay region and of the effect
of the earthquake upon the many
gaciers of tie regio, the writer's
amased great fund Of Informal
tion in regard to the whole area
within which it was sensible and
recorded the testimony of many
witnesses.
The shock was felt at distances
Of 670 and 1910 miles in opposite
direction from Yukstat bay, and the
area of the region over which the
tremblings were felt is more than
100000 square miles.
This gives the Yukatat bay earth
quake a place among the very
greatest earthquakes of historic
times. The other great shocks
without exception, resulted in
heavy loss of life, the number of
persons killed reaching in one of
them the enormous total of over
10000.
The Yakutat bay shock was for
tunately free from fatalities, not
because it was less severe than the
others. but on account of the
sparsely settled character Of the
region in which it occurred.
This report--"Tbe earthquake at
Yakutat bay, Alaska, in September
lS99"--is illustrated with half
tone views, maps and seismogrms
Of the shock recorded at places
as far distant as Batavia, Java;
Cape Town, South Africa; and
Catania, Italy. A copy of the
report may be obtained free on ap.
plication to the Director of the
geological survey at Washington.
