wood at the present time in Carson City
is higher than poor people can afford to
pay, and therefore that article will, until
further notice, come under the head OF
''luxuries." We understand that it is the
intention of the GOA companies in the
eastern part Of the state TO introduce that
article into our markets as soon as the
Virginia and Truckee Railroad Com pany
run regular freight trains from Reno to
Carson City. 4 citizen Of Carson expert
mented ON the difference between coal
and wood, last Winter, and after a fair
trial found that coal was cheaper than
wood at $ per cord. When the coal trade
has fairly commenced and depOts eStab-
lished in this city for the sale thereof, our
poor people, as we'll as others in better
financial circumstances, will not be sub
jectcd to spend their last dime in paying
Tor their Winter wood. The present rares
are unreaSonably high and 4 change
must and will follow.
