He is doing time at Reno.
Marzen meadows, situated this side of
Bonner Lake, will be the scene of great
activity for several weeks to come. The
work that is TO be done out there will
result in Il permanent benefit to the
town of Truckee. Not a great many
months ago it was given out that extern
there in a short time, and to substanti-
ate this report IA crew of men were put
to work building II large dam across
Bonner Creek, which runs through the
meadows. for the purpose Of backing up

The same fellow sits i'll the back pew in
church to save interest OH his contri- |
bations, and is always borrowing a ride
to town to save the wear and tear OF
his horsetiesh. Yes, we know him. He
is first cousin to the man who never
winds up his watch for fear of breaking
or wearing the handspring. He I'M
doubleday is a near relative to the man
who went into the back yard during a cold
snap, soaked his hair in water, let it
freeze and then broke it off in order to
cheat the barber out of a hair cut.
A fire started in the timber surround
ing Floriston Sunday morning about 10
o'clock and before it could be gotten un-
der control everything in and about the
town was swept by the flames. The
National Ice Company's large ice house,
IN which was about sixty carloads of
ice, together with the blacksmith shop
and other buildings and three box-cars
which were on a side track. The tim
Der on both sides OF the river was ablaze
all day and a large amount of damage
was done. The Island Wood Company
is said to have lost a considerable a.
mount of wood. The origin Of the fire
was said Ivy some to be from sparks
from a passing locomotive, but others
say that Il fire has been burning in the
timber about the locality for several
days past and the heavy wind which
sprung up early yesterday morning fan
ned the smouldering blaze and carried
sparks into the town and caused the
disasterous on1agration.-Gazette
The fact that spring frosts usually
destroy the fruit crop i'll this portion OF
the State has and does prevent a num-
Der OF ranchers from planting fruit trees.
When we escape the frost and a fruit
year happens, the quantity and quality
is the best under the Il n The profits
that arise from the fruit are like finding
money. In Carson Valley and Washoe
Valley the ranchers who have orchards,
all have an average crop and in a mum
Der OF places the trees are as full as They
will hold. From Genoa, apples are be-
ing shipped to San Francisco and
Washoe Valley Is finding a good de-
mand for its apple crop. At least ten
ranchers in each Valley will dispose of
1000 boxes of apples each, which will
net them $1,000 clear. No one should cry
hard times when he has Il crop OF fruiL
that will pay better than if he had an
entire ranch in grain. The wise ranch
er has an orchard on the ranch and
this year will have a cool bank account.
