value of certain property is to be incrcas-
ed, and that property belongs to the
friends of the president. Hence the
president must have appointed Col. Lud-
low to office for the purpose Of having
these roads made SO that the real estate
Of his friends might be increased in
value. But no one denies that the extern
sion Of highways is necessary for the
accommodation Of the public, or that
they would be extended whether the
friends of the president made money or
not. 1t has always been so in Washing
ton, and it always will be. One half f
the residents will always resist any i'm
prvement that will benefit the other
half.
Gen. Boynton, of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, Gazette, who is making the
fight against Ludlow, does SO not be-
cause he has anything in particular
against that officer or because he is OPP
posed to the Improvements. He is $ o
constituted by nature that he must fight
some one, and Ludlow happens to be
the victim this time.

ola Tiners DIsfer in Thelr
Opinions Regarding the
Winter.


Winter.
Silver State: Louis Lay, of Col
conda, ons Of the pioneers of Eu
reka county says that the present
weather ia similar to that of 1868
when the Humboldt canal was be.
ing built. There was no cold
weather durng the Winter of 1863
81, and the men employed in exca-
vat'ng the French Ditch, as the
canal was called, worked every day
during The Winter with plows and
scrape,s. Mr.. Lay says he lost
only one-half a day during the
whole Winter, and it seemed more
Ike Spring than Winter weather.
In April it began TO rain, however,
and the late Spring and ea.ly Sum-
mer was the rainiest season he ever
experienced in the State. The
Humboldt river oveiflswed lis
banks, and the water was so high
that men owning hay ranches along
the river feared they could not get
any hay on the natural meadows.
There was no necessity whatever
for irrigatin: crops that season, as
abundant showers fell until July
On the other hand, early settlers
IN the Western part OF the State
say the weather this Fall is like
that of 1859, which preceded a
Winter that fsoze Carson river and
Washoe lake 10 the bottom, while
other weather prophets contend that
it is just like the Fall OF 1867,
which was IS pleasant as May un-
til January, when one of the heavi-
est snowstorms ever experienced in
Central Nevada, came and covered
the valley over q foot deep with
snow, which remained on the
ground until late in February.
And sill further, the Indian
weather prophets, owing to the fail
IRE Of the pinenut crop this year,
predict that the coming Winter will
be mild and open. Their proverb
is, "No pinenuts, have good Win
'er; heap pinenuts, look out! catch

Senator Stewart has introduced a
bill to throw open~for settlement for

these abandoned reservations there
are 200 acres at Old Camp Nc
Garry and 900 acres at Fort Nc
Dernit, in Churchill Co., 10000 at
Fort Hallsck and 920 acres at Car

be taken up at once under the Pre-

"Indian Dick" the aborigine,
who is working on the public build
ing, is fast placing himself in align
ment with the ait of bricklaying.
He is not laying any brick at
present, he is merely packing a
hod, but he informed . reporter
yesterday that he was watching the
game closely, and would be able,
he thought. to lay pressed brick and
do fancy work around = cornlce
next week.
He believes that he was cut out
by nature as bricklayer and build
or, and at the cry OF ssmorc mort"
or more bricks, he fills his hod and
dashes up the ladder like a Tom
cat.
He takes great interest in the
building, and occasionally goes
down and consults the plans in or
der to see if the building is being
put up according to the original
specifications. When anything is
not just right he remarks.
.'Pull 'em down; by thunder we
must do this work right, or we'll
never git another job"
He thought the windows ought to
be narrower and higher, like = slit
in q wickup, but when told by the
contractor that low, bread windows
were all the 60 in the East, he
said:
can right, Boss, if you can stand
it, 1 can.
He thinks that after the Indian |
School starts up there will b no
need of sending East for pressed
brick layers.
