A transportation company has been
organized in Reno, to be known as the
Union Traction Company. Its object
is to place steam wagon trains ON the
road between Mohawk valley, Plumas
county, California, and Reno.
Reno will retain the State fair This
! bone of contention, for the possession
of which Carson struggled so valorous-
ly. was voted, to remain in the custody
of the original owner. The Senate bill
which provided for the sale of the fair
grounds, in Reno, was defeated. The
measure received ten votes, with thir-
teen against it, Eight Assemblymen
did not answer to their names. Messrs.
Van Duzer, Allen and Wilson made tel
ling speeches against the measure.
The Assembly has passed bill sub
hitting the proposition to incorporate
the city of Reno to vote of the cleo
tors effected.
The bill was introduced by w. w.
Webster, who voted for the measure,
as did also Mr.. Peckham, although the
latter gave notice of motion to recon-
slider. Assemblymen Hasting and
Jacobs voted against it. The division
of the Washoe delegation was matter
of considerable comment around the
capitol.
The city limits, il the citizens APP
prove the bill, will coincide with the
present limits of the town of Reno.
The city will be divided in five wards.
and have five councilmen.
The Webster bill is similar to the
one passed when Reno was previously
Incorporated. The chief difference is
that there is no provision for acquiring
municipal light and water plants

w. B. Lobner reports considerable
oil and coal excitement in the vicinity
of Carlin and Elko. He has just re-
turned from an official trip to the east
ern part of the State. The Carlin
coal is superior article, resembling
that found in Utah and Wyoming. 1t
is anthracite and burns freely.
In one of the shafts being sunk for
coal strong indications of oil have been

The case of the Bank of Nevada VS..
the Reno Smelling and Milling COM
pany has begun in the Distric court.
The suit was brought to collect certain
monies advanced. The plaintiff alleges
that the Smelling company was re-
cipient of this money, while the defense
claims that it was not advanced to
them, but to Messrs. Cooley and Hill
house who constructed the plant. A
jury was obtained and the pleadings
read. The case will probably be con-
cluded soon.-Journal.
The Orphans Home called for the
| first real scandal and sensation of the
Legislature. Some strong and vigorous
| speeches were made. 1t seems to be
prevalent impression that wards of
the State are not receiving fair treat
| ment. Members told how at the noon
hour they had been to the Orphans
Home and seen the children seated
upon the floor like Indians, eating
from the same plate and drinking
from the same cup. Superintendent
Joseph was in no way held blamable,
as it seems it has been custom so to
do for years. No legislature has ever
before found out this fact. The Com
mittee on State Institutions brought
in scathing report of the State Or
phans' Home Board regarding the $400
Jones note. The result of the discus
sion was an increased appropriation
and probing of affairs.
Among important matters adjusted
by the Legislature in its last hours
was the State Fair. Ormsby county
having lost her fight upon Senate Bills
81 and 50, were prepared to renew
it upon S. B. So. This bill provided
that the State Fair be he'd in Car
son. The two delegations got to-
gether and compromised the matter
1t was agreed that the SO, 900 appro.
priation for the State Fair should be
adjusted, 81, $50 to Reno and 1,25O to
Ormsby Fair. Carson has somewhat
recovered. She was very bitter and
most viciously denounced the men
who stood in with Washoe. Had moi
the compromise in the matter of ap.
preparation been made, it is quite likely
that the House would have eliminated
the entire "a, 900 for the Fair.
