Senator Clark Interested in a
Railroad to Cross Nevada.

The San Francisco Chronicle of the
22nd contained a long article from which
we Gull the following:
According to Frederick X. Rule,
general manager of the Los Angeles
Terminal railway, the little Southern
California road will shortly expand into
a transcOntinental line that will com
mand large share of the overland
freight and passenger traffic between
Los Angeles and the East. We are
certainly going to build the Salt Lake

capital for the purpose and will not be
put to the necessity of floating bonds
to pay the construction costs. United
States Senator w. A. Clark of Mon
tana has become Il heavy stock holder
in the Terminal and he, with the other
stockholders, will put up all the money
necessary to see the undertaking ac-

termini there. Work on the surveys
will be pushed with all possible speed
and the actual construction work will
begin within three months

FIRE AT THE UNIVERSITY

The Government Experiment Station
Building at the University in Reno was
discovered on fire last Sunday after
noon. The fire is supposed to have
originated from combustion of ehemi-
Gals in the basement. The whole in
terror of the structure was soon in
flames, and all the wood work such as
the roof. etc, werc entirely destroyed.
The students on the grounds worked
like Trojons and succeeded in saving a
part of the contents. The department
did good work, and after lighting the
fierce flames for over an hour. had them
under control.
The loss is heavy one to the Uni
versity, coming at just the beginning
Of the fall term, notwithstanding it is
well covered by insurance. The build
ing and contents were insured for 81,
800, which will probably cover the loss.
The excellent experiment station Ii
brary was damaged by water, but the
most of the books will do for reference
yet. The library had no insurance.
The station lost valuable data gath
cred by Prof. Ilillman, including the
botanical collection. Nest Of Toe scien-
title Instruments were saved and good
portion of the chemicals.
The building belonged to the govern
msnt and will probably be rebuilt.
The cause of the fire IS a mystery, no
one appearing To know how it origin

Farrineton's Vote in Elko Count,

A report is going the rounds of the
State press that Mr.. Harrington, il
nominated for Congress, will receive 10
per cent OF the vote cast in Elko eoun-

have a poor opinion of the loyalty of
