TIE STORM.
Everyone Wears a Big Smile.

Yesterday morning this section of
the earth received the best storm that
has visited US in some moons. Snow
fell to the depth of about two inches
and a gentle rain followed which con-
tinued throughout the day.
Every merchant in this section wore
a broad smile and more than one of
them made sales from their agricul-
tural stock which shows the
confidence the farmers put in the com
ing season. The storm bore one pecu-
liar feature. During the heaviest down
pour the barometer stood at normal
which as rule indicates fair weather.
The storm lifted occasionally and the
mountains surrounding the valley were
white with snow. which shows that q
generous amount OF snow fell around
Us. Although the ground was pretty
dry from the wind which ragged for the
three previous days most of the mois-
ture went into the ground as the ain
fell in a drjzzle and not much of it. ran
of. Let the good work 90 on.

Anti-P al road.

n strong argument against the high
price charged for freight by the V. Il

Of Carson yesterday. In the afternoon
a twenty animal team passed down
Main street loaded with coal oil for Geo.

were hauling two wagons loaded to
their capacity and presented & thrill Of
old time freighting.
Mr.. Meyers, like Petersen & SPRING
meyer Of this city, can haul freight
from Reno to this city for a less rate
than charged by the local road. and
both firms will continue in the business
as long as the railroad keeps its freight
rate at the top notch.
There are a number of other mer-
chants in this city who intend follow
ing the example set by these people
and 1t Is not unlikely that before the
summer is over that many BIG teams
will be on the road between this point
and Reno.

made money out OF freighting their
goods over the Geiger grade and Car
son people intend to follow the example
set by them.
