cars May a year ago. The
shortage showed a slight increase
as the figures for April Is were
455 cars. The shortage reported
is mostly in the vicinity of Chi
cago, where the demand for box
cars has been strong. owing to
the beginning of the movement
of general merchandise for fall
trade. The general dullness pre-
vailing in the coal fields of Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Indiana is
shown by the surplus reported in
those states, where 56,787 cars
are idle, and of that number A.
2O5 are gondola or hopper cars.

off their firecrackers. The roast
pigs have been dismembered and

make 1914 a better year for Neva-
Ga than the rather pleasant year
Just past was. Taken all together
1918 was not a bad year. Though
nothing startling in the way of min
ing discoveries o .curred, there was
q great deal or improvement in a
mining way. Old established mines
kept on producing bullion and many
new ones have been developed. The
agricultural area was enlarged and
ways and means for still greater
engagements were discovered
Many thousands of acres which had
been considered worthless for lack
Of water have been placed under
cultivation and many thousands
more have been shown to be cap
able of cultivation by means of
either flowing wells or pumping
plants. Taken all together the
state of Nevada made some won
derful strides toward development
Of its practically limitless re-
sources. We have been free from
great disasters, not many men have
been injured in their fight for
existence, compared with other
years. no great floods, fires nor
pestilence has attacked us. In fact
Nevada has passed by a very sue
cessful year. If we can all learn
to pull together, casting aside jeal-
ousies and animosities, letting each
man have his due, and if necessary
a little more, we can make 1914,

when they see how easy it is to

their tents and stay. Every acre
of land which falls into their hands
will become a permanent home for
