With the city owning it's posts, the

will be the more keen. Some of them
now want the city to own the lamps

CITY GETS POSTS

the Contract.

{ I did not sell any posts. but get
some satisfaction out of this contro

that our bid saved the city over $4,000.
Had we not been in the fight the city
would have paid $4,000 for its posts
instead of $4,000, the figure bid to-
night.
Robert Seeger,

The members of the board Of alder
men say they are indicated.
Last night new bids for iron lamp
posts were opened and fiat price OF
Sd per post, against $3.50 bid two
weeks ago, was offered.
The Cleveland Vapor Light company
bid this figure and was awarded the
contract without question. The posts
offered are those now in use. Two
weeks ago it asked $7.S7 a post.
The American Development compa-
ny, which was the lowest bidder last
time on the whole contract by over
$S,000 raised it's price this time to
$3.50 a post. Last time it asked $3.50
The bids. which were on 1910 posts
installed and 100 delivered, were as fol-
lows on both occasions:

Under the new bids the city secures
$500 posts for $10,S90, against
$11,467.50 asked by the American De-
velopment company the first time bids
were opened. The ClevelandVapor Light
company on that occasion asked
$19630.S0 for the lot.
There was an air Of suppressed ex-
element during the opening of the
bids. More than one face showed the
tension, but the transformation was as
sudden as the smiles were broad when
it became known that the Cleveland
company was the lowest bidder.

eye of the chair, and he at once made

IT is GOULD
BEYOND DOUBT
Why it is thought He is
Backing the Western Pa
CifiC Railroad

1t is believed in railroad circles, not
only that George Gould is backing the
Western Pacific, but that the New
York financier is on the point of de-
claring his interest in the new road.
What has given rise to the belief is
the fact that yesterday at a meeting
of Western Pacific stockholders in
Attorney Bartnett's Office in Frisco,
$50, ,000, ,0G0, in bonds were voted to
run 80 years at per cent. 1t is rea-
soned that until it is shown conclu-
sIvely that lie project has a firm
financial backing, and is great trans
continental rail- DAD scheme to be well
carried out, the securities will not be
very eagerly absorbed. This is one
leason for looking tor an announce
nent of the stockholders names,
which heretofore have been carefully
withheld from the public.
In addition to this. it is known
chat Gould is talking freely of trans
continental plans in the east. and
Ion.y recently made the statement that
ne would have a road in operation
from ocean to ocean in eighteen
months. That he referred to the
Western Pacific is shown by further
emarks made in the same interview.
.c,,fd cold fbat on adyautaUa nf the
new road would be the lack of dan
gerous or even heavy grades, none
OF which will be too heavy to allow
nauling IS tons in a single-head train.
IThis statement. bears weight, because
,Iould is known to be a conservative
nnancier and railroad man. who does
not taik unmeanIngiy, and because
the description OF his road fits that

Ine Sierras over the lowest pass in

son of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Troutwine, aged
about seven years. was thrown from

CHANGE WILL
BE WELCOMED
People Disgusted With Rail
road Service They Are
Forced to Accept

The prospect of another railroad
running through Winnemucca is all
the more welcome to the people of
this section on account of the bum
service which they are compelled to
put up with, and will have to stand
until the Southern Pacific has compe-
tition. 1t is difficult to conceive of
town situated on the main line of a
railroad, through which four trans
continental trains run daily, having
poorer service. A train being on time
furnishes the topic of conversation on
the streets for days. The people ale
at loss to know why the company
should go to the expense and trouble
of making out time-cards, unless it is
merely for the perpetuation of time
honored custom of railroads in gen.
eral.
No. now leaves San Francisco In
the evening; the first-section is sup
posed to be a first-class, through
train, making good time between
Frisco and Ogden. The second Sec
tion runs as a local, necessarily slow
er and making more stops. When the
first section arrives at Reno, there it
squats and waits for the local to
catch up with it-and for what reason
no one is able to explain. Passengers
may be in a hurry; they may have
altered their plans before leaving the
city in order to ride on the tirst-sec-
ticn, thinking they would arrive in
Ogden, or at points between Reno and
Ogden, sooner by doing so; the sched-
uled hour of departure arrives-and
or two, or three, or four hours, and
as long as is necessary for the local
to overtake it. AS one of the porteIs
on a car in the first-section was heard
to remark few days ago, after the
first-section had waited over three
hours in Reno: "Dis shore am hot
railroad; hol' a first-class train three
hours for local-an' wha' for? Guess
de road itself don know"
Another just ground for complaint
on the part of the public is that the
read, while it has a plethora of petty
officials and all the usual and useless
lUxuries of the modern railroad, there
is a notable scarcity of cars and the
minor accessories of comfortable
travel. A gentleman said to the re-
porter Yesterday: My wife left last
night for San Francisco. and do you
think there was a seat in any car in
the train? No: l had to fight and
was here to get her a seat. Well, it's
that way the most of the time: the
last time / went to the city. / was
fortunate enough to get a seat in a
chair coming home. l thought | was
in great luck when we started. But
when we got TO Truekee, I'll be darned

Francisco on coast-bound train. l sup
pose the road only had one chair car
and they want to have that attached
