The Story of
Our States
By JONATHAN BRACE
XXXVI.-NEVADA
SiH4gaA NEVADA is
KY Nl4N ~ a Spanish
Esh }sSaTsA elective
S.SSSsss al Sj::% Ski SNOWY" and
WSs5ls,sstts ;EsgsJ is taken from
%SSSSNSgss:saaagEsss|Sw he Sierra
EYAnS> u ev adas,
those lofty mountains which sep
arate the State from California.
Most of the history of the state
centers in this Western section,
near the Sierras, and it 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 1775. In 1925
Peter S. 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 1913, when he went
to California at the time Of the
outbreak of the Mexican war
1t was this war which in 1S4S
resulted in Mexico ceding large
area to the United States, of
which Nevada was 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. Resenting the at
titude of Utah they petitiOned
to be annexed to California.
In 1859 the Comstock Lode
: was discovered and Nevada had
&: its own mining boom. Popula-
ton Immediately grew by leaps
-; and bounds and in 1861 Nevada
j.: was formed into a separate ter
ritory. Later, portions of Utah
T.: were added and the lower part
-: of the state was taken from Ari-
i: iona. Petitions for statehood
: were made but it was not until
1864 that Nevada became the
d: thirty-sixth state of the Union.
: Though Nevada ranks sixth
I: in size with its area of 110,G9O
: square miles, it has the smallest
i: population of any of the 4S
? states. Between 1900 and 1900
/; there was a marked decrease in
=: the population due to the falling
=: off of mining industry.

DETECTIVES OF THE LEGION
National Commander Galbraith Cut
lines What Is Planned to Be Ac-
complished During the Year.

The detectives of the American Le-
gion for the year 1921 were told by
F, w. Galbraith, Jr., national COM
mander in recent speech In Gin
cinnati, at dinner attended by Le-
gionnaires and business men.
Mr.. Galbraith cited the disabled
mans problems as the Legion's para
mount concern and termed the finding
of a satisfactory solution as lone job
that is going to be DONE"
"Woe unto the man." he added, "or
the bureau or bureau chief who will
fully stands in the way of paying the
honorable obligation the government
owes these men. Whoever he Is he
will have to get out"
He warned against the activities of
the l. w. W. and kindred organiza-
tons and outlined the position of the
Legion as follows:
'"The time has come when a line
must be drawn between loyal and dis
loyal Americans. We do not claim to
have monopoly on patriotism but
because of our service our loyalty Is
a little clearer to our hearts and is a
little more intense. We intend to
crush this thing, if it ever raises its
head, that we already have fought and
licked"
Mr.. Galbraith also SPOKE Of the de-
sire of the Legion to unite with the
veterans associations of the allies, In
order to promote International amity.
people accuse us of being over
enthusiastic" he said. 'They declare
that we believe ourselves to be the
only patriots. God Knows we are not.
If we were it would be sorry day for
the nation. We know we have hun
dred million associates and we ask
them to help US because without their
good will and assistance we can &C.
complish nothing"

she could not sleep, she slipped into

where for two hours she wrote stead

memory served, every item, incident

she found temporary distraction and

herself heavy with drowsiness SO

Toward noon she awoke and rang

with relish somehow sharpened by

warm flood of sunlight which bathed
her bed chamber, as little worthy Of
consideration as wrath of nightmare.
But 1t served to pique her curiosity
and, when she had bathed, she took
back to bed what she had written In
the night and read 1t with care and,
toward the close, something like re-
suscitation of those emotions which
she had known during the dream itself
as well as after waking up In the
end she was aware Of an imperative
need for enlightenment. The thing
had grown too serious, was figuring
too largely in her life; If its influence
was not to prove altogether Ill, she
must have comprehension of its nature
to give her heart courage.
In all the world she knew but one
person in whom she could conceive 1t
possible to repose such condolences E.
She took the telephone from the

Merely to hear that low-pitched,
agreeable voice with its ineradicabe
tinge Of humor was comforting Her
clouded countenance was lighted up by
a smile of gratitude-and of affection,
too.

men fought with women for first place

pain and anger mingled with muttered
blasphemies; but the noise of milling
feet alone would have been enough to
betray them. Not more than two had
managed to fight out to the iron plat

and hammering at the door. Leonora,
thrust brutally to one side, saw the

even II he did not, would never, never

Beside the mirror, long pier glass,

full-length canvas, an unfinished por-
trait Of herself in the Zingara dress

Begun long ago, on day when mod
ell failed her, and carried out incon-
secutively, when she felt In the
mood the painting now neared COM
pletion; little more work on drap-

ready for exhibition. Inspecting 1t
critically, with fault-fnding eyes, she
saw that her work was good, almost
as good as her fathers. The figure on
the canvas lived its striking pose was

But the girl on the canvas was Leo

which was which, Which false, which
true? Was the life she knew, the life
of Para avenue and Fifth, of teas, din

these days in the studio, her happiest,
when she was painting-was this life

life Of which she caught only fugitive
gllmpses, fascinating, tantalizing, ter
rible. and related to nothing within
the scope of her experience-was the
dream life perhaps the life Of fact?
She shook a head baffied, bewildered
and faint with wondering.
