,Winnemuco.

We returned last evening from
Winnemucca, not from the Fair Tor
there was none, not q single thing Of
any kind Icing on exhibition. There
were . few races each afternoon, and
that was the extent Of the so-called
Fair.
The extreme drought continues in
that locality, no rain having fallen
since last Spring. Mr.. Kelly, Of the
Silver State, says that the leaves
which are now falling from the trees
have never been wet by rain. Para
disc Valley, which ordinarily pro-
duces thousands of tons Of hay, is
now being supplied with hay from
the railroad, which reminds one Of
carrying Goals to Newcastle"
Through the courtesy of Sheriff
Fellows we inspected the new school
house which is nearing completion,
and also the new Masonic building
which is we'll under way. The school
building is fine structure and when
completed will be an ornament to
the town and credit to the enter
prise Of her citizens. It is built in
the most substantial manner and on
the latest improved style of architect
ure, and will be furnished with every
convenience for the accommodation
of teachers and pupils, lighted
throughout with gas and thoroughly
ventilated. The Masonic building
when completed will also be a fine
structure, the lower floor being de-
signed for a public hall, and the
second floor for the Lodge room and
it's accessories.
The town is we'll supplied with
Lombardy poplar trees which add
much to it's appearance. The scare
ity OF water the present season has
caused many of the citizens to sink
wells and put in wind mills. From
the top Of the school building twelve
of such mills are in sight, and more
will be put in this Fall. The town is
somewhat under cloud the present
season on account of the drought,
but the people are hopeful, and q
good season the coming year will set
Humboldt county all right again.
