many obligations to Superintendent
Yerington, for enlightening our cloud
ed mind as to the propriety of COM
mencing the road at the wrong end.
They do it because they can make by
it: they can buy ties at Reno much
cheaper than at Carson. We did not

conclusion that it is better to let the
railroad company have its own way,
for the men who compose it Will do as
they please ANYHOW. The corporation
does not love Carson less a 1t
loves profit more, not by no means,
nohOw.
