The Very Latest.

Dispatches received in Eureka Thurs
day evening from Palisade state that
the Humboldt river commenced rising
again Wednesday night, and the follow
ing morning the stream was higher than
81 any time during the present foods.
If the waters rise any higher it is feared
the county bridge will be carried away.
and to prevent this heavy cables have
been securely fastened to the super
structure, the other ends Of which are
attached to strong timbers sunk in the
ground. By this means it is hoped not
only to save the framework, but at the
same time to prevent its being swept
against the railroad bridge further down
the stream, in which event the latter
structure would also, in all probability,
be carried away.
The telegraph wires were down in the
water in places through Pine Valley on
Thursday. q number of the poles having
been washed out by the freshet. and as
9 result the tslegraphic service was poor
during the day. Superintendent Abbott,
however, sent men out from Pslisade to
make the necessary repairs. and by
Thursday night the line was in operation
again. Mr.. Abbott's instructions to all
men along the road were to keep q sharp
lookout for any possible damage to the
line, and to keep it open at all hazards,
but Notwithstanding all efforts which
have been made in that direction the
wires were again down Friday morning.
and no telegrsphic news has been obtain
able today.
William Spinner, who for the past
thirty years has occupied the position Of
Western Union telegraph operator on
the line between Eureka and Palisade,
says this is the first time in all that
period that the telegraph poles have been
washed out in Pine Valley. and 10 is his
| opinion that the present washouts in that
section will be found to be the most
serious that have yet been experienced on
| the E. & P.

slight deviation from the regular course,
and as the waters are reoeding ell along
the way, the indications are that the

this time forth, as the snow is about ell

traverses.

ring with President Hays and other
officials of the Southern Pacific Rail.
road Company, with a view to secur'
ing low rates for passengers and
freight transportation in Nevada,
invited the citizens of all parts of
the State to communicate with the
Secretary of that committee, regard
ing any grievance they might have
against the railroad company. and to
make any suggestions they might
think would be of benefit in the
proper presentation of the case to
the officials above mentioned. The
committee requested that these COM
munications be transmitted not later
than Feb. 81, and as the notice did
not reach Eureka in time to permit
any suggestions being sent from this
place, the committee will be de-
prived of the advice and counsel of
those of our citizens who are versed
in the matter of the proper conduct
ing of railroads. but no doubt this
deficiency will be more than made
up by the complaints and recon-
mendstions forwarded from other
portions of the State.

DESTROYING. WEEDS WITH CHEM.
ICAI.S.

This matter has been given cosider-

Possibly more work has been done in
this country by Professor Bolly. of the
North Dakota experiment station than
nv any other man. His experiments
show that il Is possible to kill char
lock and other weeds in the wheat
fields of the northwest by spraying
with a solution Of copper sulphate. The
hest strength of the solution is a mat
ter that has not been fully decided.
In one recent year Professor Bolly
spraved with a ten per cent. solution
when the weed was three to FIVE inches
in height. The portion OF the field
upon which the test was made was
very weedy. being infested with char
lock. wild barley, wild rose. penny
cress, shepherds purse, wild buck
wheat. lambs quarter and the great
ragweed. The spraying was done on
June 1. BY August all the weeds ex-
cent the wild rose and the older plants
Of penny cress were destroyed. The
wheat leaves were slightly burned but
in spite of this the yield was larger
than the untreated plat.
Tests were also made with a one per
cent. solution of copper sulphate. This
killed ragweed and CT lrlock, but did
not affect the penny cress. On June 90

'sprayed when the oats ere six inches
