RAILROAD TROUBLES Thus far during
tho month of March none of the trains
of either the Central Pacific or Virginia
and Truckee Railroad have arrived at
this station ON time. This is owing to
the severe storm that has prevailed for
the last four or five days, and which is
described as something out of the usual
order. The railroads have had to con-
tend with great many difficulties this
Winter and credit is due them for the
extraordinary exertions used to run the
travelling public through on time Re-

OvERDoNE.-We are reliably informed
that great many cattle have died in
winnemucca Valley, near Pyramid Lake,
during the past month. The fact is the
range was overcrowded, and where there
was enough feed for fifty head there was
not sufficient for two or three hundred.
The storm seems almost to have been
general, passing none by. We have this
unpleasant reflection to console our
selves with; that beefsteaks will be pref
ty high next Summer, and we have some
notion to quit eating Reno Journal

THERE is an irrepressible conflict
among the school authorities in Carson,
and the papers, as a matter of course,
stand arrayed against each other. The
Appeal calls on the County Superintend-
ent to resign in response to petition
said to be in circulation. The Tribune
agrees with the Appeal in this particular,
but insists that if the County Superin-
tendent should resign, 80 also should the
rest of the management to wit: the two
Trustees, the Principal of the School,
and We infer, the assistant teachers also.
This the Appeal objects to.
The NARROW GAUGE.-The late severe
storm has operated to suspend pretty
much all work on the Eureka and Pali-
SADIE Narrow-Gauge Railroad. Every
thing is in readiness, however, and just
as soon as favorable weather sets in,
work will be resumed with renewed
vigor. 1t has been unfortunate for the
projectors that the Winter has thus far
been so rough, as they must have sus-
tanned considerable loss by the suspen-
sion of work on the road Eureka SEN

NARRow-GAUGE AT PIocHE.-Mr. Tay-
lor, an engineer long connected with
railroad building, passed through during
the week from long sojourn at Phoebe,
where he has been employed on the mar
at that place. He represents
the road to be in successful operation,
with every prospect Of its continuing.
According to this gentleman all kinds of
business is expected soon to revive at
Phoebe, on which fact we congratulate
our neighbors. White Pine News.
INFORMATION WANTED.-Mrs. Gustave
Friedlander, of this city, is DESTROYS Of
information in regard to the present
whereabouts of her husband, Gustave
who left her about eight
months ago, leaving behind his wife and
three small children. His wife and lit.
tie ones are in destitute circumstances

$50 REwARD.-A reward OF 500 will be
paid by the Board of County Commits
sioners of Washoe county for the arrest
and conviction of each and every person
taking trout from the Truckee River in
Washoe county by means Of giant pow
der or other means, except as authorized
by law Reno Journal, Attn.
CRusADERs.-A dispatch to some of
our Western exchanges says the temper
ance crusaders have taken the war path
at Palisade, in this county. There must
be some mistake about it, as the good
people of Palisade were never known to
press their tansey to excess Eureka
