CARSON, January Is, 1873.
EDITOR News: To-day has been the
day Of the session, and things
,egin to look like business.
In the Senate to-day, Mr.. Phelan
ave notice Of a bill providing for the
lppointment Of an inspector Of alco-
,olic liquors. II ever there was need
# the creation Of an office there Is
reed In this instance. Let a man take
iwo drinks Of ordinary Carson whisky
md In five minutes afterward he'll
ancy that he owns the Capitol, the
Warm Springs and the Mint. Think
here ought to be q man-with a cast
ron, copper-bottomed stomach-whose
1uty 1t shall be to examine this rotgut,
md throw 1t 'righd away oud."
Mr.. Phelan also gave notice OF his
Intention to introduce a bill exempting
the property of the miners Union"
from taxation. I believe that Mr.. p.
d himself q member of the "Unlon,"
aud therefore ought to know what Is
and just In the premises.
MI. Moore Of Elko asked leave to
Introduce a blll-without previous no
ice-incraasing the representation Of
Elko county to four Assemblymen and
two Senators. ElkO has now one Sem
ator and two Assemblymen, but has
increased largely In population since
the formation Of the county, and. on
the present basis, Il surely entitled to
the asked for increase Of representa-.
ton. The bill was made the special
order for Thursday, at 9 o'clock.
Mr.. Mccoy OF Lander gave notice oil
a bill to aid in the construction of a
railroad from Palisade, on the Central
Pacific. to the Colorado river, via Eu'
reka and Phoebe. Eastern Nevada
needs railroads, as the timber Is get
ting scarce, but until the bill Is intro
duced 1t cannot he told whether Its
provisions will be a blessing or a curse
to the section of country through
which 1t Is proposed to run the road,
or course the counties through which
1t will pass will be called upon to vote
upon the question of issuing bonds tc
aid in Its construction. Cassidy's new
county Of Eureka. being endowed with
a large amount Of surplus wealth, vii,
alone subscribe bonds to the amount o.
several millions, which bonds will bs
easily negotiable In the financial mart:
of the world at about nine cents on
the dollar.
Notice was also given Of a bill L
remove the county seat OF Humboldt
county. This removal Of county seats,
and county division business, Is getting
so stale that 1t Is hardly worth com
ment.
A.sther Little Jsb.
A bill was introduced in the House
to-day for the relief Of Jonathan vii
llams, one Of the "selectmen" of Car
son county, Utah Territory. I forge
who introduced the bill, and thu
amount of money it is proposed t.
donate to satisfy this ancient claim
but 1 think 1t is somewhere In tin
neighborhood of $l,700. When tn
bill comes up tor third reading ant
final passage in the Third House."
motion will be made to refer 1t to tn,
Committee on Polygamy and Interna
Improvements Of the Utah Legislature
which will be In session In the cours,
of two or three years. There wa
considerable other business transacted
In both Houses, but rs It was Of
minor nature, 1t Is not necessary t
recount 1t here. I believe that bot
Houses will adjourn over tomorrow
out Of respect to the memory of Dr.
X. B. Ellis-father to Col. a. =. Eli
who departed this life last Sunday
consequently tomorrow Will be al
idle day. aud the candidates for mino
offices will be kept In still longer sus
pense.

A noticeable thing in Carson Is tn
extremely healthy appearance Of tn
hotel landlords, while the boarders ar
lean aud wear constantly a longing

skating, which winds up with a dane

This Is what is called a dull session
