Il Muxt BE a Mistake.

The "Silver State is informed that the
Central Pacific Railroad Company have
raised the rates Of fares and freights on
their road in Nevada, and says this is not
unexpected to the people. 1t cost the Rail-
road Companies a good many dollars to
prevent the passage Of the laws reducing
rates on the several roads, aud the people
must now pay extra rates to reimburse the
Companies for the time and money spent
at Carson during the session. Lawmakers
sold themselves to the corporations, and
now the people have to make up the pur-
chase money by paying higher rates of fares
and freights. 1t is possible that the rates
may have been increased on the Central
Pacific. but, as mentioned in yesterdays
SENTINEL, they have been considerably re-
duced on the Eureka & Palisade road.

The mild weather OF the past month, and
the absence of snow from our mountain
sides, has caused not q little alarm among
ranchers and those engaged in and depend
ant upon agricultural pursuits, and unless
q severe snow storm should soon set in
the loss to Eureka and vicinity will be
immense. Our mountains, that have here
tofore generally been covered with snow
until late in the summer, present an APP
pearance more in keeping with August
weather, and our streets, that at this pc
Rod in previous years were scarcely pass
able to pedestrians, on account Of mud
and water, are as dry and dusty as they
generally are on a midsummer day. At
no time since the winter Of 1868 Ga has
such a state of things existed, and, as we
have remarked, unless we are soon visited
by a snow storm, there will be no water to
irrigate the valleys during the coming
summer no crops will be raised, and
produce that has heretofore been furnished
by the ranchers, must necessarily be
brought from a distance, thus increasing
the cost Of living to an appreciable extent,
and entailing additional expense to the
consumer, and causing a heavy loss to our
ranchmen, who are already SO discouraged
by the unpromising outlook that, with
few exceptions, they have stopped blowing
and all other arrangements looking to the
raising of crops. The cattle men are also
becoming alarmed, lest the grass crop
should prove almost a total failure. The
outlook is indeed serious. There is yet
time before the final close of the winter
season for the usual fall Of rain and snow,
but the indications are not at all favorable
for any change in the present fine weather.
1t has happened in Eastern Nevada that
March and April were the severest of u
winter months. Should the present fair
weather continue three weeks longer, a
disastrous droutE must assuredly overtake
the entire State. Nothing in an agricul-
tnral or cattle-raising way can be done in
Nevada without water.

1t has been somewhat loosely asserted
that the eastern slope Of the Sierra, once
denuded OF its trees, will never have q
new growth. This theory is known to
those who are familiar with our mountain
slopes to be without foundation in fact;
and the following from the Reno Gazette
proves the reverse to be true: although
the eastern slope is much less favorable
for the tender little shoots which spring
up from the old roots OF destroyed pines
than the Pacific side, yet in favorable To-
~calities there are patches quite we'll COW
cred with a growth which appears thrifty
and strong, though Of a very slow growth.
In the neighborhood OF J. s. Towle's, who
lives on section "a township 10 north, range
10 east, at an elevation of about 5000 feet,
the second growth covers many acres Of
ground, and rivals that Of Colfax in thick
ness. About Crystal Peak, which has
nearly the same elevation, there is quite a
development in this direction. In both
cases the timber has been cut off about Is
years. The north slope OF the hills seem
to be most favorable to the little plants.
1t is by no means certain that this climate
is particularly unfavorable to the new for
ests, as the average hight of the great
basin is nearly as great as the line which
divides the luxuriant from the stunted
second growth on the western side. The
best of the new crop is below the ele-
walton Of Alta, and that above has a great
deal the same appearance of that on this
side. Perhaps our elevation has more to
do with our apparent b~arrenness than any
other cause. If it affects the matter at all,
there is no mystery in it, as our average
altitude would bring us just within the
line where the second growth thrives in
California, and we would get, as we do
now, just enough to prove the rule.

To Cleanse The Hair.

Ammonia should not be used on the
hair; it INJURIES the gloss and softness,
causing the hair to become harsh and dry.
The best way to cleanse the hair, and leep
the scalp healthy, is to beat up a fresh egg,
and rub it well into the hair, or, if more
convenient, rub into the hair without beat
ing. Rub the egg 10 until a lather is
formed; wet the hands in warm water,
softened with borax; by time the lather is
formed, the scalp is clean; then rinse it
all out in a basin of warm water containing
a tablespoonful Of powdered borax. after
that rinse in one OF clear warm water.

With no wives or old fogies to chide us
Then we'd quan while we laugh, and laugh

And pledge all the ghosts that surround us;
They were jolly boys all, ere they donned the

But in spirit they still hover round us.
They roam from their graves to see the bright
That sparkle from the brims of our glasses;
To hear the glad song, throughout the night

As we drink to the health Of our lasses.
We'd hail them from cheer1~e'd not shed 4

But we'd put forth our hands to greet them;
And they'd point out the way. before the dark
