Most Of the history Of the state
Centers In this Western section.
near the Sierras, and 1t is here
That all Of Nevada's principal
cities are located.
The first white man to cross
the present state was the Fran
ciscan Monk, Father Cares, who
made his way across the deserts
to California In 1776. In 1925
Peter 9. Ogden Of the HudsOn's
Bay company discovered the
Humboldt river, which Is some
times called Ogden river after
him.
The next memorable trip
across the state was that by
Fremont in 1848, when he went
to California at the time Of the
outbreak Of the Mexican war.
It was this war which In 1848
resulted In Mexico ceding large
area to the United States, Of
which Nevada was a part. When
this was organized Into terri
tories, the Territory Of Utah ex-
tended to California. The West
ern inhabitants, however, were
left to their own resources and
accordingly organized their own
government. Resentlng tne at.
titude Of Utah they petltloned
to be annexed to California.
In 1850 the Comstock LGpe
was discovered and Nevada Had
its own mining boom. Popula-
ton Immediately grew by leaps
and bounds and in 1861 Nevada
wns formed into a separate ter
ritory. Later. portions Of Utah
were added and the lower part
Of the state was taken from Ari-
zona. Petitions for statehood
were made but 1t was not until
1854 that Nevada became the
thirty-sixth state OF the Union.
Though Nevada ranks sixth
In size with Its area Of 110.600
square miles, 1t has the smallest
population Of any of the ~
states. Between 1900 and 1900
there was marked decrease in
the population due to the falling
off Of mining industry.

AUSTRIA SATISFIED.
Glad That War Is Terminated by Act
 of U. $. Congress.

Vienna, July 6. (By Associated Press. )-Utmost satisfaction was ex- pressed today by Austrian officials and newspapers on the adoption by the American congress on the resolu- ton terminating the war with Germany and Austria Hungary. High hopes entertained here of American financial aid, however, have been dampened by the receipt of dispatches to the effect that the American govern- ment will not consider waiving the Aus trian separations while the scheme for rehabilitation of the country rests with the league of nations.
 Further disappointment has been caused by the postponement of the Porto Rosa conference to discuss meas ures for the relief of Austria, as it is considered here to be inseparably con- nected with the plan for foreign aid.
