springs, owing to the comparatively
level nature Of the country, the bal
ance Of the distance to Reno presents
no difficulties worth mentioning. An
other route surveyed, by way OF Long
valley, north of Virginia, is more
direct and shorter, but it strikes the
Central Pacific railroad fourteen miles
below Reno, while the franchise for
the narrow-gauge calls for terminus at
Reno. The present route being sur
veyed Is more advantageous In many
respects, besides passing in the vicinity
of a we'll wooded country, and Will be
the one adopted. The narrow-gauge
possesses many advantages which the
broad-gauge road ordinarily in use
does not. It Is much mora cheaply
constructed, less liable to get out Of
repair, susceptible Of passing heavy
loads over sleeper grades, etc. 1t OBJ
viously, however, possesses the disad-
vantage of not being able to pass the
cars OF the Central Pacific road over 1t,
so that passengers and freight to or
from San Francisco will have to change
cars at Reno. How much of a disad-
vantage this would be remains to be
experienced.
PARDoNEp. - Morris Winkler, Of
Virginia, convicted in the United States
District Court at Carson, some three
months ago, of defrauding the United
States Revenue Department, and sen-
fenced to six months In the State
Prison and a fine of $1,000, received n
full and unconditional pardon from
Washington yesterday morning, signed
by President Grant and Secretary Fish.
The circumstances of the case, rs we
understand them, are as follows /:
Winkler was keeping the Pacific
Brewery. at the north end of Virginia,
on the Geiger Grade, and like many
another good man, he "had a part
ner." This partner ran the business
department of the Institution, and he
SHOULD have attended to the paying of
the license at the proper time, but 1t
seems lie didn't. This fact was made
apparent to Winkler a while after this
partner had sold out and left, by the
officers calling upon or instituting pro-
ceedings against him as the remaining
representative of the establishment.
Really not being to blame in the mat
ter, influential friends interested them
selves in his behalf during the ninety
days stay of proceedings granted, with
the gratifying result above stated.
Winkler is "all hunksy" now, and
mighty proud to show that big pardon
document, with its illustrious sigma
lures.
