CENTRAL PACIFIC LOGIC.

J. C. Stubs, the General Freight Agent of
ths Central Pacific, occupies six columns of
The Reno Gazette of last Saturday in endeav-
oring to explain the railroad policy of the
Central Pacific in Nevada. The showing made
forcibly reminds one of the befogging explain
ations voschsafed legislative committees by
Leland Stanford, Steve Gage and Ii. M.
Ysrington, or of the lawyer who talked facts
when he had no law, spouted law when he
had no facts and carefully avoided the law and
facts when he had no case at all. Stubbs en-
deavors to explain the Central Pacific policy
and does it in such way that the
reader is more than ever convinced
Of the utter unfairness and rapac
j usness of it. He does not explain why a
carload of Western bound freight carried by
policy costs $400 more laid down at Humboldt
or Battle Mountain than carried to San Fran
cisco. Stubbs defense is peculiar and he JUS
titles the course of the road with such logic as
might be expected from such source. He
says
IL mas become common TO reler 10 tnls
practice as a discrimination against Nerdda IN
fapor Of California and to pronounce 1t unjust.
II unjust, every town in California east of
Sacramento, or between Marysville and Sac
ramento, and between Sacramento and Stock
ton, and between Stockton and San Francisco,
has the same ground for complaint; and
every town between Lathrop and Los Angeles
may justly complain.
As we'll might man arrested for disturbing
ths peace of Carson tell Justice Cary that if
Carson proposed to take exceptions to his COR
de so might Virginia City, Reno, Wads
worth, Battle Mountain and Eureka, for he
had also disturbed the peace there. The
Central Pacific Railroad Company has never
before taken the pains to justify itself at such
length in Nevada newspapers, and these feel
srs thrown cut mean that the road will during
che next campaign, take an active interest in
Nevada politics.

SLEEPING.CAR COMEDY.

A traveller on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad relates the following incidents Of
travel: A middle.aged married couple have
turned in next to me, having boarded the
train at way station. They have evident
ly been much hurried and are out of humor,
for the wife is fretful and excited, and the
husband growls above his breath in this style: {:
"Now, I'll just bet you didn't put my night
shirt in."
"S'hush It's in the basket in the corner"
replies the woman.
"Ive looked in the basket and 'taint there
l s'pose you put it at the bottom under the
vittals"
Under the vittals, indeed! Why, John,
what on earth are you a-doin'?"
"I'm lookin' for my shirt
Don't that's the wrong basket. You've
gone and split them pickles all over the bed !!
| never seen such man %
"Never mind, Mary-you needn't tell the
whole car" This in whisper peculiar to
the stage.
"Looking for your old shirt in the dinner
basket! l don't see what anybody wants a
night shirt for on a railroad, anyhow" retort-
ed the indignant female; and there was a
whirring sound, which indicated that she had
pitched the missing article into his face just
in time to choke off wicked rejoiner.
"S'posen' the cars would run of the track y
added she. "Youd he nice pctur, wadin'
out of swamp or rollin' down bank in that,
wouldn't you?'
"Id be just as comfortable and purity as
you in that" =,
"s'hush! You'll disgrace both of US with
your tongue" whimpering.
"My tongue! Well, damn me, Mary if
"There, now, you're cursing me, you
you" Breaks off to sob.
There's where she had him.
I fancied soon after hearing the resonant
and beautiful sound of a kiss, but perhaps it
was only the angels, and I dropped off to sleep
again. On the following day saw the mid
dle.aged couple seated opposite me munching
pickles and fried chicken at intervals-as do
cile and happy couple as anybody may
wish to see.

HOW TO MAKE DRAINS.

The distance between drains must he deter
mined by the nature OF the soil, their depth
and the amour of fall. A loose, porous soil,
will permit water to reach the drains for a long
distance, whil tough, compact clay IS almost
impervious to water and requires the drains to
be made much nearer. In a brack, loose soil,
drains at the depth of four feet are sufficient at
a distance of ten rods apart, but if the land IS
hard pan or a-stiff clay, to drain it thoroughly
the distance apart should be from -four to six
rods. But few persons in this part of the
country realize the great advantage that deep
drains have over shallow ones. In my eXten-
sive acquaintance in this and adjoining coun-
tries among drainerS, know of but few that
drain to depth averaging over one and a half
to three feet. Farmers pay taxes on their
lands all the way down land on wet lands 1t
often amounts to rent, but never get any agri-
cultural benefit from it any deeper than they
drain; but they do get the benefit of it that
deep, even if it is eight feet; in fact, an Or
chard or vineyard should not be drained less
than that depth. The time is probably not
far distant, when such shallow drains will be
taken up and put down again at the proper
depth. Persons often say that it costs too
much to drain so deep, when the fact is the cost
is less For instance, it would cost but very
little more to dig two drains to the depth OF
four feet than it would to dig three to the
depth of two and half feet, and the two deep
drains will drain fully as much land as the
three shallow ones, and will drain it much bet
ter and save the expense of third line OF tile
But the depth Of drains is not always matter
of choice, as very often the outlet is not sutf-
cent, and 1 have very often noticed that per-
sons are sometimes extremely contrary about
giving their neighbors above them an outlet,
and very, often spend more time and money in
lawing about it than would do the whole work,
besides creating bad feeling. In making an
improvement of this kind, that is to last for
all time to come, it is much better to secure
good outlet in the first place, if it does cost
something more, especially if the land is flat
and you have but little fall but in all cases it
is best to have good outlet, so that the water
will fall from six to twelve inches when it
leaves the tile.
