POOR PULLMAN SERVICE.
Second Glass Accommodations for
Nevada Patrons.

It would seem about time for the
people of Nevada to raise protest
against the treatment they are re-
ceiylng from the Pullman sleeping
car company.
The coaches used by them for Ne
vada patrons are of the antiquated
style in vogue when sleeping cars
first came into cxistance. Contrast
them wish the elegantly apportioned
coaches that come overland from
Chicago and one cannot help being
struck by the disparity.
Nevada people have always been
liberal patrons of the Pullman serv
ice, and it is time they were treated
with some show If consideration by
the company.
The cars row given them are
nearly twenty years behind lineage.
They are not only very aid, but very
drafty, and man who goes over the
mountains without catching the
pneumonia Is in b g luck.
Then the mattresses are all now so
thin that the prickley hair stuffing
sticks IL rough, and a man who lies
down to sleep on them imagines that
he is on a cactus bed in the ella
desert.
He has to get up and put on his
clothes or be subjected to the irrita-
ton all night.
When Nevada passengers reach
San Francisco they can be distin-
guished by their tired, weary look as
they glide onto the ferry boat and
fall into a seat to catch short nap
before getting onto the cable cars,
where they soon fall asleep, to be
awakened by the conductor Hing
for the fare.
In addition to these ann ,yances
the cars have the cid style springs,
and shake the passengers too such an
extent that they feel that they are n
an Irish jeunting cart.
The whole thing IS an outrage on
Nevada people, and it is time we
fled ~ otest against such treatment.
If we stand it much longer the Pull
man company will put us in cattle
trains to 20 over the mountains IN.

A GENEROUS CITY FATHER
In Town Buying Clock and Bell for
Woodland


G. NJ. Hunt, Trustee of the town Of Wood
land, is at the Lick, and will remain In the
city few days. Mr.. Hunt is prosperous
rancher and capitalist of Woodland and has
taken vast interest in the growing impor-
tance and welfare OF his beautiful munich
pality.
Woodland has just completed one of the
most perfect city halls in the State, archi-
tecturally beautiful and most roomy and
convenient. All of the departments of the
town are located there-the courts, jail,
Fire Department and others, and the build
ing is one in which the citizens take more
than ordinary pride. In the lofty tower it
was decided 10 place a town clock with q
bell on which to strike the hours and 10 call
the people together on the occasion of a
meeting or in case of fire breaking out.
Trustee Hunt generously announced that
he would assume the cost of providing the
clock and bell. and part of his errand TO the
city was to give his orders to local houses
for both. The aggregate cost of clock and
bell will be $500, and Trustee Hunts gen.
erOsity and public spirit is greatly CON-
mended.
