"HARRIMAN''p
Doings East Of Reno--Location AMI Dsscrip-
ton Of Roundhouse and Shops The
''Lay Of the Land'' in General.
TIE NEW RAILROAD TOWN,

A visit to the site of the new round
house and machine and car shops four
miles east of Reno shows a scene OF
unusual activity There are several
hundred laborers at work, a number of
train crews and force of surveyors.
The gravel trains are under the su-
oervision of w. A. Cumley as to un-
loading. He has been there about a
month and during that time a fill the
length Of the yards has been made with
width OF perhaps a hundred feet and
an average depth of three feet In
width there is to be filled in about 500
feet with an average depth Of more than
TWO feet. To fill In up to the floor Of
the roundhouse at the site Of the round
house VIII require a depth of about a
loot and a half. At the present rate
the filling in will require, in our opinion
between four and five months.
The roundhouse will have 40 stalls
II is nearly a circle. would be circle
but for the section left open for the en-
trance. The foundation proper is COM
plete. 1t is of concrete about two feet
in width and goes into the ground about
four feet and upon it the brick walls
will be built. Besides the outer rim
there are lnnumerable piers of concrete
about two feet square on the upper sur
face. The work being done on the
roundhouse at this writing is the dig
gng of the pits with pick and shovel
and no pit is ready for its casing Of
concrete. There are perhaps six car
loads OF cement on the site of the
roundhouse. and an immense quantity
Of teracotta sewer pipe Of all sizes for
use in supplying the roundhouse with
water and carrying it away after use.
A temporary track has been built to
the site. Water is now found at a
depth Of four or five feet.
Authority says the roundhouse should
be completed and ready for use in be-
tween so and 90 days from now. 1t
will among the largest and best equip
ped structures OF the kind in theUnited
States.
In the yards loaded on two flat cars
and occupying nearly the full length of
the cars Is the turntable. massive
piece of steel of "Phoenix' make.
ready to be installed when Its resting
place shall have been completed.
The location Of the roundhouse is a
trife east of north from the proposed
passenger depot and the most northery
point Of the companys holdings. and
its entrance Is opposite and within
few feet of the westerly line OF the J.
B. O'Sullivan tract Of land which has
been surveyed and cut up into blocks
and lots Of high and dry ground forrest
denoe and business purposes.
Next west of the, roundhouse' be-
tween the roundhouse and the otate

land set apart by tho company for en-
pIoyes. This ground is higher and
dryer than the ground the company
first intended to set apart for the en-
ployes and the company listened to
me many objections urged agalns'

TO the employees.

THE STREET RAILWAY LINE

Next Monday evening. even if it is
Labor Day. the Reno council will meet
and settle the matter of franchise for
a street railway line. There will be

line of these lots, running north straight
from the depot. magnificent street is
alredy staked out 1t rather appears
that the houses on this street will face
east. Rival real estate men claim to
have the "inside Information" that the
company will not allow any business
houses in the tract set aside for en-
ployes. To US this declaration sounds
like rot. This tract Of land extends a
half mile west of the roundhouse.
The machine shops. as shown by
blue print, will lie east of the round
house and will be, if we remember cor
rectly, l20 feet wide and 400 feet long
and the carshops, about the same d.
mensons, will line east Of the machine
shops, that is the roundhouse, machine
shops and carshop;s will be on line
running east all Of them directly in
front OF the J. B. O'Sullvan tract.
The lest impression of the "lay of the
land will be given our readers by
map Of the roundhouse and the O'Sul-
livan tract which we expect to have
ready for our next issue.
From the best advice obtainable at
this time from railwt y officials the
machine and car shops will not be
completed and in running order until
the beginning Of next summer.
1t will be readily be seen that we
were always right in advising against
the so-called East r no, proposition
There are few cheap buildings on this
tract but it does not look good to us
because too far away from the center

There seems TO be d hullabaloo
about the street car line. 1t seems
there are three different companies
making a row about Il, all wanting ex
elusive privileges and franchise. May
the devil catch the hindmost. The
Southern Pacific would not have to do
any worrying about franchise because
it would run the line On its right Of way
If It saw fit, and many thinking men

CAPTAIN ]. W. BRYAN DEAD.
Passed Away Suddenly in Covington,
KY, Monday Morning-Had Been
on the River Many Years.

A telegram from Coyington, KY,
Monday morning to the family an
nounced the sudden death Of Capt.
Joseph W. Bryan, who with Mrs.
Bryan was called to that state a few
weeks since to attend the funeral Of
her sister Mrs. Col. O'Niel.
Capt. Bryan was in bis 73rd year,
having been born In Beaver County,
Pennsylvania, August Il, 1880. He
had spent the greater part Of his life
in steam-boating on the Ohio and
Mississippi Rivers.
When quite a boy he went on the
river and learned plotting under the
late Capt. David Hiner, Admiral
Porter's head pilot Of the Mississippi
Flotilla, in the Civil War.
Capt. Bryan married Miss Missouri
Fenley at Crittenden, KY, where he
lived for a short while and from there,
about 1862, he removed to st. Louis.
From that time on he pursued his
vocation on the Mississippi river, run
ming from st. Louis to New Orleans,
some times as pilot, but a greater part
OF the time as captain Of a passenger
boat Of the Anchor Line.
In 1867 he removed to this county
from st. Louis, buying a farm on
Young's Greek, near the postofice Of
that name, where he alternately
farmed and followed steam-boating
until 1875, when he removed to this
city where he had ever since made his
home.
In 1876 Captain Bryan united with
the Christian Church at Midway, in
this county, under the pastorate OF
the late Rev. John A. Brooks, between
whom, ever afterward, there was the
deepest friendship, amounting to an
affection for each other.
Captain Bryan was universally
respected by his associates and ac-
quaintances; Ia fact, loved by all OF
bis intimate acquaintance, for he
was known to them as a gentle, lovable,
upright, pure Christian gentleman.
He leaves surviving his wife, two
sons, Fenley O., practicing law in
Tacoma, Wash; Joseph H., a minister
of Des Moines, Iowa, and the two
daughters, Mrs. e S. Wilson, OF this
