Cape Town, South Africa.-Much
speculation has been INDUCED in as
to the value as u possession Of the i'm
mense territory of German southwest
Africa, wrested by the Union of South
Africa forces, under General Botha,
from the Germans, who had occupied
it since May, 1888. Six times the size
of England, being about 322, 450 square
miles in area and including Ovambo-
land, Damaraland and Great Namaqua-
land and sparsely populated, it has
been described as a wilderness, with u
fertile tract only here and there.
A South African authority described
recently In the Cape Times its domi-
nant physical features as follows:
"a slowly rising, sandy coast belt;
high interior plateau, broken by iso-
lated mountain ranges and stony kop-
tes, and gently falling eastern strip
of sandy country which merges in the
level expanse OF the Kalahar desert.
The average height Of the uplands is
about 5000 feet. The climate ON the
whole is healthful and eminently suited
for Europeans, though malarial fever
Is prevalent in the subtropical north.
Before the war 1t supported white
population Of 1880 people, with some
250,O00 natives"

played with such industries as cotton, ba1ed as it is picked;
beet sugar produced from Nevada beets; flour mi1ed in
Nevada from Nevada-grown wheat; fragrant combs OF
Nevada honey and agronomic charts of grains, roots, grass
es, tubers. There will be an elaborate display of
vegetables and garden produce.
Naturally Nevada's famous gold mines will come IN
for a large share of attention, through exhibits of models
and specimens of ore. A large relief map will show the To-
cation and distribution of the states mineral resources
and as far as they are known a flag will show the location
OF each mining camp with the metals and other valuable
products obtained at each one indicated. The mineral eN-
hibit will be grouped in ten cases around the walls OF the
space containing the relief map. A ready reference TO the
map from the mineral cases will be found in flags on the
cases referring to the particular flag on the map ind1cat-
ing what mine the minerals came from.
There will be any number of special exhibits Ill addi-
ton to elaborate relief maps showing mining and 9eologi-
cal models. The Comstock will be featured in many ways.
There will be panoramic views of Gold Hill and Virginia
City, maps of the Comstock workings, drills that were IN
use many years ago and the latest type of drills, in actual
operation, together with models showing the square set
timbering from the deeper workings of the mines.
Nevadas state building, a noble structure with an ele-
walton on San Francisco bay, will be the center of many
functions of briliance during the life of the exposition. 1t
is s~plendidly located, in a group embracing the buildings OF
New Jersey, Wisconsin and Missouri.

The "Short Ballot"

There is a general and insistent demand that some
thing be done by this session of the Nevada legislature to
simplify and make more effective and economical the
state government. In this connection the "short ballot is
receiving consideration. Recently the Reno Gazette, which
favors the "short ballot presented some figures de-
signed to offset the arguments of the opponents of the
proposed reform which are Illuminating. The Gazette
said:
A few state papers, and we are informed, certain mem
berS Of the legislature, have expressed tear, and we have no
wish to question their sincerity, that if certain minor state
officers were made appointive instead Of elective, 1t would
mean a dangerous Capitalization of power. Many munich
palties have wrestled with this same problem, but in what
city with a population equal to the state of Nevada does
the niavor not exercise greater power than the governor OF
this state? AS to the federal government, the treasury de-
partnent alone has approximately 10000 employees, The de
Iartnent of the interior has over 5000 in Washington and
1900 outside. The postoflGce department has nearly .5OO;-
900 and nearly$Ioo,ooO of these positions are not even COM
petitive. We elect an attorney general on the theory that
a governor might not be able to make a selection credltable
to the state and it's service. The federal government APP
points one and under him are nearly 2,4oo other appoin-
tees. The government has a grand total of over 10000
officials who are appointed instead OF elected, a number
more than twenty times the total number of voters in Ne
vada.
1t would of course require a constitutional amend
ment to make these changes. No one now in office could
possibly acquire power additional to what he now has I'M
less reelected by the people, and certainly the people OF no
state should choose any man for governor in whom they
would have too little confidence to entrust him with the ap-
pointment of three or four officials whose duties in the ser
wise of the state are largely clerical.
If ANYTHING has at any time been lacking to demon
strate conclusively the folly and the inefflclency OF the
present plan of state organization, it was supplied during
the last administration, a point on which former Governor
Oddie and Governor Boyle would undoubtedly agree.

Neuada's Creditable Exhibit

Saturday, the Goth of the present month, vii mark the
opening and dedication of Nevadas building at the Pan
anna Pacific exposition at San Francisco and the event is to
be celebrated in a manner betting its significance to this
state. The building and exhibits will be in every way cred
table to the state, according to good authority, and Ne
vadans who visit the big fair will have reason to take pride
in the representation made by their state. The ceremonies
incident to the dedication of Nevadas building, to be held
on the twentieth, will be attended by a large delegation OF
enthusiastic boosters, headed by Governor Boyle and
George T. Mills, this states exposition commissioner, and
including nearly all the members of the legislature, state
officials and prominent citizens from all parts of the state.
Members of the Nevada Society of California will take an
active part in the ceremonies.
Dispatches from the coast metropolis declare that
with the opening of the exposition gates visitors Will t1nd
Nevada in the front rank of states that have assembled eN-
hibits and are displaying to the world their resources ana
industries. 1t is said that particular attention has been &C
corded exhibits in the departments OF mines and metal
.lurgv, horticulture, education, agriculture and livestock. "A
raree Typographical map of the state will be on view, IN con-
nection with the agricultural exhibit, which will be of inter
est in showing the arabic and tillable lands, water courses.
watersheds, railroads. towns, highways, and setting forth
the states principal crops and products. This map, 9 by Il
feet in size, will show in graphic manner the states re-
sources and opportunities for development.
The mining exhibit will be one of the most complete
and attractive ever prepared for exhibition in any country
and will include demonstrations OF methods in quartz min
ING. mine timbering and every department of the industry.
A most complete collection of specimens has been assem-
bled from all parts of this state. A description OF what is
in store or visitors from Nevada is contained in recent des-
patches as follow:
An exhibit that cannot fail but attract attention will
be the model of an So-acre dairy farm, under irrigation,
arranged to support 30 head of cattle, with horses IN SUIT
fcient number to cultivate the farm. Growing crops OF
successful varieties will be seen with samples OF the soil, OF
wooden and cotton cloth and photographs OF some OF the
creameries for which the state is noted.

The State and Business Methods

State governments have a way of issuing promissory
notes, in one form or another, without providing adequate
ly for taking up such obligations at maturity. This is eN-
Iemplified by the fact that a bill has lately been introduced
in the legislature, providing for the payment of a bounty
for boring a deep well in Railroad valley in compliance
with a law passed in this state in 1901. The we'll was sunk
two years ago and on September II, 1913, the state board
of examiners, acting upon the company's application for
a bounty in the sum of So, 500, finally approved the claim
and recommended it "for relief at the next ensuing session
of the legislature of Nevada, there being no appropriation
then and there available, in the opinion of the attorney
general of Nevada for the payment of the same"
Legislation of this character either is grossly ill-ad-
vised, or a more business-ike procedure should be follow
ed and provision be made for making good the obligations
of the state within a reasonable period after they are in
Cured. Such conditions render impossible the develop
ment of the states resources by persons or corporations of
limited means, as few are able or willing to expend large
sums of money in projects of a speculative nature when
there is such uncertainty as to when they can obtain state
aid, upon which they may be dependent. If bounties are
to be held up for eighteen months after they have been
earned, they are of little value as inducements to enterprise
in opening up the natural resources of the state.
The value of all the gold produced in the United States
from 1892 to January I, 1914, is estimated by the United
States geological survey at S., $40 1884, 400; the value of the
silver at ST., 700, $1,000.

future, should fail to bring favorable results at a number of
points in the district. Surely there is every reason for an
optimistic view of the future of Goldfield.
