THIS WILL NOT DO.

We have always thought well Of U. s.
District Judge Ssbin. especially for his
genial disposition and many charming
social attachments. With his official
self we have never had special reason to
find fault until now. If we are cor
rectly informed he is spending too much
Of his time on the bench in San Fran
cisco to the neglect Of important litiga-
tion pending in his own court in Ne
vada. The celebrated wood cases in
Eureka are dragging to a p~erplexing
length. Thousands Of cords of wood
are in the custody of keepers appointed
by the U. s. Marshal, involving the
owners in unreasonable expense, and the
interests Of q whole community are suf-
fering for the want OF a judicial deter
mination Of the questions put in issue.
We appear for the public and demand q
speedy hearing of these cases. A strin.
gency in the wood market is not q pleas
ant thing in the face OF an approaching
Winter. We are told that Judge Sabin
is d~allying with these suits when all
parties are ready and anxious to proceed
with them. Several dates fixed for their
hearing have been postponed by Judge
Sabin by wire from San Francisco. This
will not do. Better that a few Chinese
habeas corpus cases at the Bay go un.
heard than that the whole people of
Eastern Nevada freeze for the want of
wood. Come to time, Judge, or be for.
ever frozen with the maledictions Of q
woodless populace. There is no middle
ground, You must fish or cut bait.

several limpid streams, are left in almost
their natural condition. There are many
noble trees ON tho grounds, the bark Of
which is well covered with the large,
clumsy initials of boys who desired to
perpetuate their names and pass into
contemporaneous history through the
medium of their pocket knives. On
these grounds, too, are the graves, topped
by yellow, sunken, inscription effaced
headstones, of the priests who have died
since the institution was founded.
The college, which is made up Of sew
eral buildings built at various times,
most of them of different styles of archi-
lecture, loses none of its impressiveness
from the rambling style of its construc-
ton. The finishing touches are now
being put on q massive structure, which
is 3l2 feet in length and connects two
rows Of buildings that formerly consti-
tuted the university.
1t would be impossible in this limited
space to give an account of the many
old and interesting rooms of this great
university. The observatory is one of
the finest in the United States. and the
library, which contains more than 30, 600
volumes, is very valuable one. Among
them are many old and curious books
and many precious manuscripts. There
are 100 volumes printed between 1860
and 1920, one manuscript anterior to the
