from the most Insignificant origin. At
this season Of the year, especially, a
cold is such a common thing that in the
hurry of every day life we ara apt to
overlook the dangers attending it, and
often find too late that fever OF lung
trouble has already set in. Thousands
lose their lives III this way every win

been taken, cure would have resulted
and large bill from a doctor been
avoided. For all diseases of the throat

OF its wonderful effect. Over $50, 900

The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1879-12-05


The Reno Journal mas the following
relative to the removal and location OF
the railroad machine shops:
GA. N. Towne, General Superintend-
ent, and the other c. P. officials who
have been with him on his tour over
the road arrived here yesterday, on
their return trip home. We learn that
during this trip Mr.. Towne made up
his mini to remove the Wadsworth
and Carlin shops to Humboldt, the idea
being to have but one shop between
Sacramento and Ogden. The repair
shops will be continued at Truckee.
There was talk Of selecting Rye Patch
as the place for the new shops, and
Uncle Johnny Borlanl would have
given the company all the land and
water necessary. But Humboldt, only
ten miles distant, anil without the
natural advantages Of Rye Patch, will,
some how or other, be the favored
place"
1t is not probable, however, that the
shops will be removed this winter;
neither must it. be taken for granted
that the Journals information is au-
thentic.
