new FORAGE PLANT

Spokane dispatch of the End

said by those who have expert
iltnented with it to'produce' many
tons of'food to the.acre, has been
discovered. The plant is native
of Tillamook county,, Oregon, and
is called perennial clover. 1t is

itself from node buds and bulbs
and has no bloom, flower, seed or
sex. 1t grows in winter as we'll
as in summer and frost: does not
interfere with or stop its growth.
A sample of the clover was sent

at Washington, D. c., and J. M.

that it is one Of the most interest
ing specimens that has come to the

II WAS. COLD

We have heard many complaints
about the present cold snap, but
the cold spell has been, nothing
compared to what Elko saw in
January 1883. From, record in
this Office in the hand writing of
Charles w. Grover, Sr., the then
editor and proprietor of the Inde-
pendent, we take the following:
/. Jan. 9, 1888-Thermmeter 80
degrees below zero at 6. a. m.
Jan. Is -Thermometer SO to 81
degrees. ~
The coolest weather ever known
in Nevada. Jan. 9 was a clear.
bright, SUNNY day, no wind, yet the
thermometer never got above 5
degrees below zero during the day.

got above zero. though the day
was still and clear. ;I~Gr
On the morning of January Is,
1888, the spirit tharmumeter. in
Mr. huller's brick drugstore
registered 81 degrees below zero.
As we remember the dates,
January 18th was Sunday. Dur.
ing the following week, the
weather was intensely cold, the
thermometers registering from
30 to 40 degrees below zero. .
A remarkable thing about that
intensely cold spell was that the
smallest children attending the

CAPACITY OF ROCKS .....
AS RESERVOIRS

Sc The capacity ofsrocks to imbibe
moisture varies with their physical
structure. Most of the water, in
rocks occurs in pores an inter.
stices. the larger rart of the
worlds we'll water supply being
derived f Icn saturated rorCus
beds, Only a small part of it being
obtained from caverns or large
cavities. Practically all rocks,
however compact they may appear
to, the eye, have niterstices and
small cavities'in which watei may
be stored. The degree of porosity
of rocks, however, being highest
in open-textured loose sands, sand
stones. gravels and chalks, all of
which have great capacity for
imbibing water, and lowest. in
close-texturea clays, states,
marbles and GRANTEES, which have
very small capacity for absorbing
and transmitting water. Some
rocks. however, such as gr ante
which in their original condition
are almost impervious, become
water bearing through the de-
velopnont Of fractures and
crevices. -.
The capacity Of rocks for trans
NIT ting water is different from
their capacity for inhibition. In
certain finegrained rocks the pores
places are so small that ithey will
not readily transmit water.
Hence rocks like chalk or bricks,
which absorb water freely, trans
NIT it slowly, whereas others with
no greater total pore space trans:
nit it readily. Sandstones, for.
instance, vary greatly in texture:
an consequently in their capacity
for carrying water. .s.s -.

Or. ]. GRANT LYMAN
ORIGINAL .SWINOLER

In the amazing life history of
DR.. John Grant Lyman. the COM
pilation of which has just been
completed by Postoffice Inspector
Raymond Gray, that statement
appears that the frenzied promoter
of the fake Panama Development
company, now in prison on Nc.
NeiEs island, is the original
character on which the j. Rufus
Wallingford magazine stories art
based, and that his Photograph has
actually been used in allugtrating
these articles. In this account of
Lyman's career, which is to be
forwarded to the postolfice in
spectors in San Francisco. In
spector Gray, the principal agent
in bringing Lyman to justice. un-
covers host of details covering a
period of forty years which makes
the document one of the most
remarkable ever compiled.
Gray. estimates that between
the time of his birth at Phelps, N.
Y, At years ago. and his arrest
and conviction, Lyman swindled
enough people to make a city of
considerable size, and cleared up
for himself 100000 net. Most
of his deals were similar to the
Panama Development company
swindle His operations covered
the entire United States, Canada
and many foreign countries.
Lyman, enroute to prison. dis
played great interest in the great
stretches of uncultivated land in
southern Oregon, and made
inquiries regarding the owners.
intimating that he might UNDER
take to conduct little real estal
promotion enterprise from prison.
When informed that under the
prison rules he would be permitted
to send out only one Letter a month,
he smiled, remarking that much
could be done with one letter a
month and he would have prospcc-
tive land buyers anxiousIy await
ing his release. . d..
Lyman's relase from the
fe deral prison, however, will mean
that he must 20 to Los Angeles
and stand trial under an indict-
ment res 'ltiig from his operations
in that city as the promoter of a

TWIST THAT MADE THE ROPE

There is nothing more prosaic' than
rope, or that enters into q greater
