in the week. Builders 6re obliged t
make their orders three or four weeks
in advance. in order to obtain the de
sired quantity. Our lumber yards are
relieved of every piece almost as SOC
as it is received. This is one of the
reasons why the people of Carson City
cannot build any faster than they do.
1t is to be hoped that some men OF
means will put up additional saw
mills so as to supply the wants of our
citizens. Carson is in need of more
houses. and, of course, must have the
material to build them WITH.

show a grand editice, and considering
its erection is under the management
of the Corbetts, we may expect 70 see a
depot building that will be a credit to
the town-as they know how to do it.
