: Leaving ogden saturday evening, th(
% inst, your correspondent started for
trip into this State, via the c. p. Afte
travelling all night the train arrives a
Carlin at 9 a. m. This place is the ent
of the Salt Lake division and here tn
railroad shops have recently been moved
from Terrace. Notwithstanding the re
moval OF the shops, Carlin is very dull
there is next to nothing in the town t.

And though there are but few people il
! the place, it is puzzle for an observer L
| discover how that few manage to exc ou
an existence. Just now the people are
anXiously awaiting the arrival of the bi
monthly pay-car, whichis expected about
the first of next month. But as there are
only about thirty men employed at the
shops, and Carlin is on the wrong end Of
the division for the train hands to Law of
very long, the town is benefited but
slightly by the above mentioned change
OF the shops to the place.
Through the courtesy OF Conductor
Cassin, the DEMOCRAT representative was
introduced to several very pleasant gem
tlemen of the place Mr.. VIM. TAYLOR,
Jr., jolly fellow and a well-read gentle
man, did what he could to make our visit
pleasant. When the shops were removed,
the railroad men all transferred their
library from Terrace. It consists of n
number OF bound volumes on popular
subjects, most of the great coast and
other dallies, and many OF the leading
magazines. The Master Mechanic, Mr..
Smith, is President of the library.
Shaking the dust of Carlin from off our
feet, we boarded the evening east-bound
train and arrived in Elko Just as the
"shades OF night Were falling fast"
ELKo Is SITUATED ON THE HUMBOLDT RIVER
And is the seat of Elko county, and a
much pleasanter and livelier place than
any other on this division. There are
several very creditable business houses.
public buildings and private residences in
the town, a Democratic daily newspaper
(the independently Il weekly Cthe Free
Press, a hospital, a State university
building, water works, and community
of very nice people.
Yesterday the Elko cornet band gave a
grand basket picnic out at one OF the
ranches near the town. Although the
"out" was the first of the kind ever at
tempted here, it was huge success. The
town seemed almost depopulated, so
many people turned out. In the evening
there was torch-light ball given under
a bowery erected for the occasion. By
invitation of Mr.. G. w. Groves, editor of
the Independent, the DEMOCRAT reporter
took in the torch-light ball. 1t was sur
prising to see such a coterie of handsome
and fascinating young ladies as were
present, and notwithstanding the music
and dances were somewhat primitive.
everybody enjoyed the fun exceedingly.
WAIST SWINGING WAS THE POPULAR WAY
To "swing Your partners" and being
abroad, we concluded TO do as Romans
do when in Rome.
Elko can boast OF fine bathing resort.
About mile and half southwest of the
town are a number of excellent white
sulphur springs, the property of Mrs.
J. j. Garrecht. The water is hot, but can
