rather listen to suggestions than mu-
sic. They are so much more sponta-
neous than music. Just to listen to
them--that is all they are good for.
No one ever follows out suggestion;

listen to them.

Permanent
Improvements

THE bill to enlarge the State Capt.
tol Building, which has passed the
Assembly, while regarded as a Car
son proposition by some, is in reality
a state improvement feature. There is
no question in the minds OF the mem
bers Of the Legislature regarding the
necessity Of such substantial work
and the fact is recognized by every
man who has visited here that the
state has outgrown the present quar-
tiers.
The census shows that in the past
ten years that Nevada has more than
doubled in population. AT the pres
ent time il is safe to assert that the
population will increase even at a
larger ratio. This is from the fact
that the of the state are be-
coming better known. that the rail
road lands are being thrown open to
settlers and that the sparcely settled
districts are becoming commercial
ccnters.
The passing of the bill in the As
sembly brought forth but one argu-
ment against the measure and that
was economy. Several who opposed
this bill stated from the floor that the
necessity was apparent but that there
was a lack Of funds. Within a few
hours following the state voted Sl4o.-
600 for the two shows in California
and raised a tax for the same. The
state improvements are absolutely a
permanent asset. while the show bust
ness is problematical.
When il is considered that Nevada
has produced about a billion dollars
worth Of precious precious metals. 1t
looks very much like our products are
being added TO the world and cheat
ing at home. 1t is hoped that the
Senate will take the question up on
broad lines.

MORNING GRAIN LETTER.

Chicago, Jan. 21.-Local feeling is in
favor of a rally in the grain based on
liberal setback and the cold wave.
Morning newspapers are not enthus-
iastic as TO a return to bull conditions
Chicago hard and spring wheat ap-
pear to be l or 2 cents out of export
line.
A number of leading locals were re-
ported as on short side of corn last
night.
European wheat demand seems to
be profoundly affected by the enor-
nous Argentine surplus.
Pit watchers figure that a small rally
is due In corn Corn bulls figure that
the Snow live stock report will have
no effect, as May corn around 50e is in
a bear zone. They figure the report
vslueless as q bear factor right now.
Corn bears are giving most attention
to the slow export and domestic de
mand.
Would take profts on long provis-
ions, as the market has enjoyed some
excellent bull details which may not
continue.
Oats bears figure that future heavi
ness in other grains will affect oats.
Financial news from Germany and
Austria does not suggest heavy con,
tracing ahead IN grains
Savings bank deposits are reduced
and gold is boarded.

And they are not merely suffragettes

survive from a nest of ten or fifteen.
The male rat will fight to save the
