TEE Plaza FENCE Has CoME.
years ago we vensured to say that We {of
CARSON were going to have State House
right over there = meaning tho place
! where the old Pavilion stood. Some
parties from the Great East laughed the
! laugh Of rlockery and said they Guessed
somebody was crazy. Well. there it is;
| and it anchors the c4pi!ol right here till
the Great East gets people enough to
| make short allowance Of standing room
between sage brushes. And now, to put
the finishing touches on tho business,
the State is adjoining the grounds. there.
An iron fence is all Indispensable part OF
the improvement. Of course. As has
been heretofore stated in these columns,
the Misses Clapp d Babcock of the ST.
ezra Seminary entered into a contract to
furnish this iron fence. Yesterday the
first car load of the same arrived here.
There will be another car load very soon
The contract calls for the delivery of the
fence. here, by September L. We went
to the freight depot and took a look 1T
it, helped by Mr.. Preddy's politeness.
1t is in sections, boxed. Ten or twelve
feet long, We should guess the sections
to be. Plain but substantial is the work
and al painted brown. Alternate tall
and short wrought iron pickets with
spear heads of cast iron. The posts are
cast iron, light enough to correspond
with the other work, and strong enough
for all purposes. The manufacturers a
Philadelphia firm whose name We will
get and publish) will have biz freight
bill to pay. They deliver the goods
here.) The charges for the car which
arrived yesterday amount to about $500.
The shippers made a sad mistake in not
sending to Sacramento and then trans
shipping. They would have saved all
Of oDe-h half the amount Of their presen.
bill. CHATS what's meant by discrim-
ination in ireights and fares, and it is
pretty high time the thing was correct
ed. 1t will be found, we think. that
the Misses Clapp & Babcock have hand
somely filed their contract.
An EMPIRE Max TAXES ruE FLooE.-
We interviewed al Empire man yester-
day for the news. Said there vas moth
ing startling that he could think Of
" oh, yes. there is, too, seq he. "Hub

tell us how party of the old timers
down there had got together for game |

genial Teller citizen who has served a |
term or two in the Legislature. keg pretty
full. went to his lodgings. All dark over
there when he got inside; and so he took
to musing. AS the way of mellowness IS;
and then he wandered off into reninis-
cences, and so started with Mister
Speaker, | move You sah'-and then he
struck an attitude, but it wouldn't hold
up, and down he went, kerlumpus. on
the floor and then hollered to Alec Free
man and swore the bed had broken down
with him. 1t takes Hub Parker to tell
It, but 1t made lots of fun at Empire.
