A Grant Storm.

The snow-stofm that started in last
Monday and continued at intervals up
to Friday morning has been the heav-
lest we have bad for several wears.
About IS inches now cover the ground
on level, but higher up in the noun
taihs il is said to be five feet deep.
This storm will prove great benefit
to the country, though for the time
being il works some hardship. Our
mail communication has been cut of
since Tuesday, and we look for none
for several days to come. 1t is no
doubt impossible TO cross the high
ranges between here and Eureka. so
we have no growl against the stage
company on that score. Local iucon-
veniences like these will be more than
made up by the great good the storm
will confer on all the Industries of the
State.

topper heard that bill read he would at
once conclude that White Pine coun-

as every visit from the doctor brought
bottle of whisky, and the "medi-
cine, it was strongly limited, may
have been whisky 100. Grub, clothes
and household accommodations are
enough for those who for years have
lived ON the county's bounty, ana if in
addition they must have whisky, we

never heard of any whisky going to

A Montana paper says: Reports of
disease among horses that is killing
nine out of every ten that take it, are
coming in from all parts of the Terri
tory. The disease is attributed to
something in the feed, and is not con-
sidered contagious as it does not
spread. The recent cold weather is
thought to have killed the germ, as
comparatively few cases are reported
as having been developed in the past
two weeks.

VERITAs.

There was considerable "kicking"
at the last meeting of the Board of
Commissioners over the heavy drain
being made on the county revenues by
the above institution. Instead of a
hospital, where the transient sick are
to be cared for, it has been turned
into a poor house. Some of its pres
ent inmates have been there for more
than ten years. and others three or
four. They are not sick, but poor.

The huge palm trees on the Saunders
place on San Pedro street have long
been a source of admiration to thou
sands of people. They were there long
before the present occupant took pos
session, and are estimated to be from
sixty-dve to seventy-years old. The
diameter of the largest is fully four feet
and the height over sixty feet, while
the bodies OF all rise like w~ell.Tounded
pillars symmetrically formed for forty
feet or more to the well-proportioned
but not wide s~preadings tops. Recently
Mr.. Saunders disposed Of three of them
to the Southern Pacific Company for
ornamentation of their spacious grounds
surrounding the WolFsklll station. The
work Of removing the first of these
stately trees has been successfully ac-
compIished. requiring the carrying
along of a body of earth ten feet square
and six feet deep, attached to and
surrounding the roots. The apparatus
for removal IS similar to that used in
transferring buildings, and wien the
tree was properly placed upon it in an
upright position it was moved along
without the use of guy ropes to steady
it until its place Of deposit was reached.
A well is situated between where this
tree stood and two others known as the
twins, and the roots of the trees pene-
trated the well at a depth of twenty
feet or more.

that he saw it when about 1900 feet

men and women took place at st.
Mande. near Paris, recently. Several
speeches were made, which were
eagerly followed, if not listened TO,
ana very much a%pplauded. Perhaps
this needs an explanation. The term
deaf and dumb has become a mis-
homer. Children horn deaf are no
longer dumb, as they were necessarily
OF old. They are now taught by In

The report of the Grand Jury, which
appears elsewere, makes some very
timely suggestions 81 to the inconveni-
ences suffered 10 the court house by
certain classes. Female witnesses, and
unfortunate women who have to bring
their babies into court have no retiring
room, and are obliged to sit all day in
a crowded room, and the latter must
render such attentions az are necessary
to infants, before the public gaze, or
90 out into the hall or out Of doors.
The grand jury room is too small, and
what was once known as the Law
Library has become merely 9 passage
way and hat and cloak room for the
public. II is of no use to the bench or
bar. The improvements recommended
are badly needed for the scoommoda-
tion of the court and public. and the
commissioners should give the matter
their attention and take such steps as
they think the public comfort and busi-
ness demand.
