The Peanut.

You probably do not think. when
you put up a nickle for bag OF red
hot ones that the value of this peanut
crop in the United States amounts
to about twenty million dollars an
nually A preliminary statement of
the general results of the Thirteenth
Census relative to statistics on pea

partment OF Commerce and Labor
The report shows that in 1909 there
were S69,SS7 acres of land devoted
to the growing of peanuts, as against
5l6654 acres in 1890, an increase of
353.233 acres or ga per cent There
were 2lS,9oS farms reporting the
growing of peanuts for 1909 or "a per
cent of the total number of farms in
the United States, while in 1890 only
1894 farms reported. forming %
per cent of the total.
The present census shows that in
1909 there were produced in the Uni
ted States l9.4l6000 bushels of pea
nuts against | l.o64.00 bushels in 1890
an increase of 7.542,000 bushels. or
623 per cent and the value of this

Democrats Endorse Suffrage.

The endorsement of equal suffrage
by the Democratic Convention AT Fal-
Ion on June 4, is great encourage
ment to the work of the society. As
a non-party organization, dependent
for success upon the support of both
the Republican and Democratic part
les, we feel that the Democratic en-
dorsement really starts votes for wo-
men on the way to constitutional vic
tory. The question is now recognized
as one of practical politics in Nevada.
In the interests OF justice to women
we are very grateful to our friends in
the convention.
The resolution in the Democratic
platform endorsing equal suffrage met
with but one opposing vote, that OF
c. b. Gardiner, of Lyon county.
Ex-Governor Dickinson, who has
put himself on record as opposing
equal suffrage in the Ely Expositor,
was present at the convention, but
did not oppose the resolution by
speech or vote.

A BIG APPROPRIATION.
The S. P. to Spend Large Sum to
Electrify Lucin Cutoff.

Announcement is made in San
Francisco that an appropriation of
Sis, 900 to cover the cost of installing
an alternating current automatic
block signal system across the ia
nous Lucin cutoff had been made
by the Southern Pacific Company
The installation of this alternating
current will be necessary, it is
thought by the railroad officials,
should any part of the present block
system become useless because of the
hort-circuiting, which is a possibility
on account OF the heavy deposits OF
salt in the vicinity of the Great Salt
Lake.
The proposed work calls for the in
stallation of the alternating current
system for a distance of twenty miles
across the fills in the lake on the east
side of the long trestle, and for APP
proximately twenty-four miles on the
west side of the trestle. All of the
land on the west side of the trestle
contains large percentage of salt
which acts as conductor of cleo
tricity and is a probable cause of
short circuiting, which would affect
the block system.
The power for operating the east
end OF the new alternating current
system will be supplied from the
Southern Pacific shops at Ogden. A
special power plant at Lemay, Utah,
will be built to take care of the west
end of the alternating system. At
times, during storms on Great Salt
Salt Lake. the water dashes over the
fills and in some places the pure salt
forms upon the road-bed as much as
half an inch in thickness. Work on
this new system will begin shortly
and it is expected to have it in oper-
alton within about eight months.

RAILROAD BUILDING SOON.
Indications Point Strongly in That
Direction.

From information received, we be-
road through the valley will begin
next month Announcement from
headquarters will not be made until
after the directorate meeting in New
York few weeks hence; but in the
meantime officers of the company are
preparing to start operations at once
M. J. Hewitt, of Sparks, visited the
Sheriff's Office last week. He wanted
to learn whether railroad construction
would be considered quasi-public
work, in the meaning of the statute
forbidding the sale of liquor within
four miles of any camp of twenty
five or more laborers. He was told
that it would not. His disappoint-
ment, however. vanished on learning
that the construction work through
the county would be wholly through
dry territory.
1t appears from different state
ments that work will be pushed to
l-dWS. No ldtt vi tuC
route to be followed has bee given
out. The survey commonly believed
to have been accepted follows the ex-
isting narrow guage rack as far as
Polea, from here making sraighter
line to Laws than the present one.
Orders recently given that no broad
gauge ties be used in repairs between
points 81 miles south of Laws and
~ miles north are not believed to be
significant. in view of the recent en-
largement of the Laws depot building
While our hopes doubtless influence
the credence given to these reports,
their sources and directness lead to
full belief in their correctness.
Several carloads of broadguage ties
have come into this valley in the last
few days. presumably the advance
guard of the future rush of material
