Denver S. Dickerson took chars of
the State prison yesterday. Hereafter
the proper appellation will he Warden
Dickerson. Since the resignation of
Geo. Cowing, so says the Appeal, Mr..
Dickerson has been busy looking over
the premises and the field. The man.
agement of the prison is one of the
most ticklish jobs in Nevada. Aside
from the handling of u number of EN-
ployes to the best interests of the state,
there is a house filled with men who
have been sent there for crimes of every
nature, from the petty thief to the
d~ouble-dyed murderer, are to he found
within the walls. 1t is a matter of
cool judgment, of proper management,
OF treatment that is equal in all cases,
and withal. there is an appointive
board to be considered.
In the last instance it is understood
that Mr.. Dickerson is to have full
power and sway. If he finds that a
man is derelect and not worth his sal
ary, he can bounce him. If he wants
to improve conditions he can do SO, and
If he wants 70 hire what he believes a
better man he has that privilege. 1t is
such a hand that should be given the
Warden.
The people believe that Mr.. Dicker-
son is this sort of q parsonage. He
showed a determination while Gov
ernor that marked him a man OF de-
termination and one who. when he says
mo-" means it. A few months trial
at the prison should bring forth results.
There is II proposition wherein the
new Warden should receive help.
That is the prison farm. Unquestion-
ably Nevada has one Of the largest
assets in this farm. Some eleven hun.
dred acres are included in the tract. 1t
could be put to such use that it would
be self supporting and Mt the same time
furnish employment for many prison
ers. It is not q Carson affair, but a
state institution, and if the new War.
den can be given u chance, he should
make the prison farm such an asset
that the state will have gained more
Oh the investment than in any other
branch Of government. 1t should be
most thoroughly considered before the
adjournment of the Legislature.

Brief Holiday.

Joy is like a bird in flight. which

with its wings. 1t comes from out OF
a far country and it tracks its way
on high. After hat brief lowering
1t will recover It's former attitude. it's
speed. and song. Its throbbing heart
passes high over our throbbing cit
les and frozen hills. AS we watch
that flight of untrammeled wing we
wish that somehow we might cap
ture that blitheness and teach it to
dwell among men. Why should 1t
pause but never abide? We would
have that Joy abide so fixedly that it
would become a peace. The holiday
season Is like that. 1t stoops for
a little out Of space, draws near our
dim earth, and sheds it's brightness
among men. AS swiftly as it came, SO
swiftly It goes again. And yet each

vealed to us more clearly, full OF
grace and truth.-Collier's Weekly.

Some distance away in q separate
yard is the latest acquisition OF the
farm, q beautiful Kentucky bred trot-
ting stallion, a gift from John G. Tay-
lor, of Lovelock. The gift was made

Valuable Sheep Arrive.
Down III the sheep pens are several
Cotswold sheep, the gift of the w. T.
jenkins company of Battle Mountain.
These sheep have just been received.
They are pure breds and are very valu-
able, that is, for sheep.
Speaking OF late acquisitions, low
ever. they must all stand aside for the
new lambs that are being born daily.
There are 80 little fellows in the pens
now, from two days to a week or ten
days old. Most of them are pure breds,
but there are a few crosses. 1t is the
aim of Professor True to keep speci-
mems of each variety of sheep to show
the differences in breeds and to teach
standard types. 1t is expected the
number of lambs will soon be doubled.
Today the students have Il chance to
look at wool off the sleeps back. Yes
terday two professional shearers were
busy removing the tieeces of the ami
mails. They began with the little
round fellows and will wind up when
they get to those with the heavy
Merinos whose fieeces run as high as
% pounds each.
In the dairy stalls there is a row of
Holsteins with one Guernsey. They
are thin and not SO much OH handsome
appearance, but are long on milk and
butter giving. Out in the big yard are
a bunch of Hereford and Angus cows
and calves, both beef breeds, and some
prize Berkshire and Poland China hogs.
There are other hogs and pigs in separ.
ate pens, some of them undergoing
feeding experiments, and in a separate
yard are some young males of Hol-
stems, n Guernsey and one Jersey.
which are thought to be very valuable
and which will probably bring good
prices later.
