The question of the water supply was

He cites a clause from the District APP

provides: THE Commissioners OF the

to be fixed in each case by the Commits

to pay water main assessment upon lot

Bergdorf case. This would imply that
the assessment was illegal, and that it

The Assessor in reporting upon the
matter, has informed the Commissioners
that the assessment was in all respects
regular. and that the board is powerless
to grant the request.

Commissioners to falling of cinders from
the chimney of the power house of the
Metropolitan Railway Company on Four
and-a-half Street. She describes the mat
ter as "a shower of cinders."
The matter was first referred to the
Engineer Department. and Inspector A.
NJ. Lawson made an investigation and
reported that the complaint was well
founded. He stated that his department
has no authority to force the abatement
of the nuisance.
The complaint was then referred to the
Health Department, and Inspector Belts
investigated the case and has reported
that he could find no cinders coming from
the smoke stack nor any nuisance from
that cause in the vicinity of the power
house Mr.. Belts stated that the engineer
at the power house told him that some
time ago a fan was attached to the fiue
for the purpose Of cleaning out the boil
ers, and that on that occasion some Gin
ders did escape into the chimney, but
that there had been none since.
The reports have been forwarded to the
Board by Capt Chester Harding, Acting
Engineer Commissioner, with the recon-
mendation that the complainant be in
formed In accordance with the report of
the sanitary inspector. and that In view
of his report no action by the depart

THE RAILROAD COMING.
The ". & T to Build a Branch Road
Into Carson Valley.


The Carson NeUs says:
Unmistakable and reliable indica-
lions point to the early construction
of branch railroad from Carson
through the Carson valley and posi-
bly, across the California line.
The proposition is one that has been
rumored many times but no definite
action has previously been taken. This
time it is more than rumor and The
NesOs assures Carson and Douglas
county people that the coming season
will witness the commencement of the
road building. The Virginia & True
kee already has sufficient rolling stock
and it will not be long, in all probabili-
ty, before the rails commence to ar
rive.
Carson Valley is the richest valley
in Nevada. It's farmers and business
men are wide awake and progressive.
By intelligent cooperation they have
made success of everything they
have attempted. Their farms are ex-
amples of up.to-date methods and ag-
ricultural economy.
Large quantities of dairy products
are shipped every week from Douglas
and with railroad facilities at their
very doors probably the business of
the Douglas county people with the
outside world. would be greatly in
creased.
The advantage to Carson of this
move will be manifold. The construc-
don work will mean employment to
large number of men for considera-
Bile time. An augmented force will
be necessary at the shops permanent
Ignore miles of track and more roll
stock coming into the company's sys-
tenn. 1t will bring our Douglas neigh
bors into closer communication with
us and the advantage in this respect
will be mutual. Ii will probably
cheaper the cost of fuel and open the
markets of both localities.
The policy of the railroad company
has always been generous one. It's
employees are paid the highest wages
and are of our very best citizens. The
new road Is one that will be warmly
welcomed by the people of Douglas
and Ormsby counties.

A bag whisky trial has been In
progress in Buffalo. The question ID
whether a certain whisky was of the
required grade. Finally the counsel
who had been allowed TO produce sam
pies in court, declared that he would
submit them to the jury for test The
attention in the jury box grew sudden
~ intense. But the judge, in evident
haste, ruled that such a proceeding
would be improper, and the jury had
nothing to swallow but its disappoint-
mant.

The story is told that some mon tbs
ago, when the war was at its worst.
the queen was sitting with some of her
great-grandchadren, as she loved to
do. The children were playing about,
when two OF them began to quarrel
over their toys, as children will. The
queen looked sadly at them for awhile.
Then she said to them, softly: 'Do not
quarrel, my children; there is too much
quarreling in the world already" and
burst into tears.

Reservoir Surveys.

Surveyor l.. II. Taylor furnishes the
Reno Gazette with the following data
concerning U. s. reservoir surveys on
the Carson:
OF the fourteen reservoir sites which
have been reported in the basin of Car
son river and whose capacities we're
approximately determined, estimates
of cost of but two have been prepared
Hope Valley; estimated capacity, Co.,
300 acre-feet; estimated cost, $1,65s, 700
Long Valley; estimated capacity, a.
f25 acre-feet; estimated cost, 100000.
Young's Crossing; estimated capa-
city, 1870 acre-feet; cost not estimated.
Red Lake; 1000 acre-feet; cost not
estimated.
Pleasant Valley; estimated capacity,
$50 acre-feet; cost not estimated
Mount Bullion; estimated capacity,
$40 acre-feet; cost not estimated.
Indian Pool; estimated capacity, 100
acre-feet; cost not estimated.
Indian Lake. estimated capacity, L.
AGO acre-feet; cost not estimated
Silver King; estimated capacity, s.
TAO acre-feet; cost not estimated
Wolf Creek; estimated capacity, A.
$50 acre-feet; cost not estimated.
Dennont's Meadow; estimated capac-
ity, $3.50 acre-feet; cost not estimated.
Harvey's Meadow; estimated capac-
ity, 600 acre-feet; cost not estimated.
Middle Carson; estimated capacity,
29,250 acre-feet; cost not estimated.
Lower Carson; estimated capacity,
10000 acre-feet; cost not estimated.
For some years past it has been the
hope of our people that the Federal
Government would undertake the con-
struction of storage reservoirs for the
reclamation of our desert lands, but
such policy has until recently been
almost unanimously opposed by east
ern members of Congress.
Within the past few years, however,
this opposition has been gradually dis
appearing until now the sentiment in
its favor has become quite pronounced,
and it Is practically certain that ere
long appropriations will be made for
the construction of irrigation works to
reclaim western arid lands.
1t must always be remembered
though, that the Government will en-
gage in no specific enterprise until all
information bearing upon the ultimate
success of such enterprise has been
first acquired.
Work to this end is now being pro-
secuted by the photographic Division
of the Uuited States Geological Survey,
In all of the arid land States, but thus
far it has not progressed to the point
Of being ready for actual construction
at any place in Nevada. 1t is hoped,
however, that before another year has
passed, such complete data will have
been acquired concerning several res
crvoir sites, and that these investiga-
tons may be extended over parts of
the State where no such work has hith-
erto been done.

delicate shade of meaning man who
is scared is merely awakened into the

dictate that the average boy from the
rural districts is in much better phvsi-

city applicants four out of every five
