on the part of the supervisor in be-
ginning the operations of the law.
All citizens of the county, outside OF
the towns, will as formerly, be exempt
from the working OF the roads by the
payment of 50 per year, and for the re-
mainder of the present year, SloO
Those who fail to do this will be re-
ouiredlto report to Supervisor Hatcher
for road service and will work under
his direction.
A minimum of wenty hands Will be
regularly employed and when neces-
sary the force will be increased to
whatever number the circumstances
NAV demand. The force will be fully
equipped with tents and camping par
aphenalia for use when they are at a
distance of several miles from Dawson.
Work will be first begun on the main
of the county which are
expected to be in the very best condi-
ton they have ever been within the
next few months. 1t is estimated that
the new road system will entail an
added expense of several thousand dol
lars to the county, but this sum will
be more than compensated for by the
excellent condition in which the roads
will be put.
COURT OFFICERS MUST REPORT.
The commissioners decided at their
asst meeting that the officers of the
superior aud city courts shall report

NOTES AND COMMENTS

EOR many weeks the sun shone un-
intermittently from a cold, clear
sky. Not cloud las large as mans
hand" appeared upon the horizon as
sign of the prayed-for storm.
If peck of winter dust is worth
kings ransom" Humboldt certainly
possessed the wherewithal to purchase
the liberty Of myriad of sequestered
rulers. Every breeze that dashed
down from the mountains raised a
volume of dust from the roadways
and circling pillars of alkali wheeled
their way across the deserts.
Great trepidation was felt by farm
ers and stockmen. They watched the
mountain peaks in vain for the ac-
customed snow caps. No rain fell to
assuage the thirst of valley soil.
Perennial springs sent forth a d.
minished flow or ceased entirely
Streams sank in their rocky beds and
even the queenly Humboldt faded
away to a rivulet at Winnemucca and
before Big Meadows was reached the
stream could be crossed as the child
ren of Israel traversed the Red Sea,
dry shod.
The too-natural pessimism of the
irrigator and range owner began to
assert itself. There were ominous
wagging of heads, dropping of should
ers and indrawn sighs.
This is the third dry winter. The
country is going to the dogs" they
said. The word sped to California

Like some sad woman, desolate and
lone,
Deprived of all that women hold
most dear,
Love, husband, home, and children of
her own,
To whom ife seems barren
waste and drear;
Whose countenance, SO cold and COM
monplace,
Might yet have shone with that
light from above,
Which, glowing in the heart, illumes
the face
Had God but sent to her His b On
OF love; =
So, too, art thou, o native State OF
mine!
Grey, empty, desolate, DER hill and

Where solitude and silence reign
supreme,

Fair flowers, and the fruitful, growing
vine,
Had God but in His wisdom sent
thee rain.
