Of teaming and staging, which at one
fine impaired SO much life to our streets,
80 much superficial energy to our people,
has been to q great extent destroyed by
the tireless and unequal competition Of
steam. We are In favor OF railroads
wherever the nails can be laid. and wher
ever capita can be found to lay then.
We are In favor of them because they ac-
CELEBRATE the currents of trade, develop
new industries, encourage the permanent
investment of capital, tighten the burdens
"f labor. and cheaper the necessaries OF
life in so far as they lessen the rates OF
transportation. All this we expect mil
roads to do for us-an this it is the duty
If the managers of the Virginia and
Truckee Railroad to do for us-all this
we hope in time will be done fOr us; but
thus far it has not been done. We are
IN the midst of wood famine, a coal
famine, a general freight famine. The
teams have been driven from our roads,
and for all the neceSsaries Of existence
We are dependent upon the railroad; yet
our wants are but meagerly supplied, the
mines and mills keeping the road almost
in constant employment. Merchants
complain that their freights are not
promptly delivered. and wood and coal
dealers that they can obtain an adequate
supply Of neither for their customers.
Either the carrying capacity of the road
must be increased, or We must have an
other road VIII the Superintendent

Railway superintendent who is so much
burdened with extra cares and surplus
work as Yerington Is We believe that
the V. & Truckee r. r. Company are
doing all that lies in their power to ac-
eornmodate the freighting and travelling
public; and we know that Yerington,
Nth al his surprising capacity for bust
ness and his untirins industry, has quite
rs much as ought to fe.i to the lot of one
man to get things rishted at the fire de-
stroyed tunnel. and at the wrecked tres

then, We think he is inst now entitled to
some exemption from seedlings and jour-
nalistic blowings IN. 1
And herel us say that, while we feel
quite at liberty to criticise the acts and
purposes of the Railway Company who are
doing our carrying business, we cannot
regard it as evactly fair to blame them
for not being better provided with motive
power, especially in view of the remark
able fact that there is not a locomotive

due Zcourse of work supply thsm with
