Is said to be fifty cents per thousand feet
OF lumber measure, but this may be only
another of driver Church's legends.
RIDE WITH TIE DRIVER.
And by the way, Mr. Church is full of in
formation and fun and everybody should
engage seat with the driver and hear the
stories about the lover leap-an Indian
one the battle-ground, where $50 native
sons have been buried some 300 years, with
a true account and history of the same !;
the abandoned city, where cornet-lots once
sold at fabulous sums per front foot; the
cannonading log-shute that made China
men holler, "What for?" "What for ?" and
the DEVILS play ground. In the cliffs ad-
Joining the river will be pointed out pro-
files of Belva Lockwood, the Duke of Well
ington, Roscoe Conkling and others, most
of which have a striking resemblance to
the contour of the faces of the people after
which they have been named. 1t is said
that Brigham Young, in order to save
furniture, once had bedstead made seven
feet long and ninety-six feet wide. Later
on stages after this style will be intro
duced, consisting only of front seats, so all
can sit with the driver and see and hear
as they ride. The travel between Truckee
and the lake is kept well in hand, over
thirty head Of fine horses being kept for
relays.
LAKE TAHOE STEAMERS.
Captain J. NJ Todman owns the steamers
that cater to the passenger traffic on the
lake, and the headquarters of the Captain
and the steamers are at Tahoe City. The
latter have been detailed for duty the COM
ing season as follows: The steamer Tod
Goodwin, carrying passengers, mail and
express, will leave Tahoe City on the ar
rival of the stage from Truckee, for Nc
Kinney's. Bellevue, Rubicon Park. Emer-
aid Bay, Tallac, Yank's, Bijou and Glen
brook, connecting there with the stage for
Carson City and Reno. The return route
will be directly across the lake to Belle
yue, thence to McKinney's and Tahoe City,
to connect with the afternoon stage to
Truckee.
The steamer Niagara, carrying passen-
gers, mail and express, leaves on the same
time for Comedian Bay, Hot Springs and
Incline, returning in the afternoon over
the same route, afording ample time for
bathing at the springs.
The steamer Mamie is a neat and swift
little propeller, accommodating from ten
to twelve, and is open to charter by parties
desiring to follow their inclinations in
making excursions to points of interest
around the lake.
WHERE TOURISTS AND PLEAsUKE-sEEKERs
FIND ACCOMMODATIONS.
In selecting headquarters for stay at
the lake it would be impossible to choose
an undesirable location. All around the
lake trout fishing is excellent and the
fresh and invigorating atmosphere of this
high altitude, freighted as it is with
the odor of mountain pines, quickens the
pulse and sends the blood coursing through
the system at rate that produces an APP
petite which has been described as making
one feel as if they could eat a horse and
cart and chase the driver. The climate is
perfect and makes person feel so good
that they don't know themselves. unless
