SUGGESTIONS
Rsw Remarks On Improving The Appearance
Of Our City.

Carson can stand lew suggestions,
them. She has a number of live bus
mess men who realize that the time is
at hand to improve conditions and
help the appearance of the city. Sac
ramento was among the sleepy towns
up to few years ago. At the present
time she has a new spirit moving and
the result is that the visitor is impress
ed with the new methods and improve
ments that are to be encountered.
Among the first objects that attracts
the visitor is the appearance of the
State Capital building. The people Of
the town have lent assistance and the
grounds and buildings look good to
those who happen in, it is always on
dress parade and leaves a good taste
behind. The dome of the building is
lit at night and can be seen for fifty
miles around
Carson presents the same chance
The Capital building offers the same
field. The dome could be lighted at
a small expense to the people if the
State won't put up for it. A light at
the headof the flag staff could be seen
as far as Gardnerville and the visitor
would find sight worth rememb. r.
ing. The Government building is in
the same condition. The clock tower
is as black as shaft at night. The
old clock is simply a day ornament.
The worst feature of this is that the
tower is wired and has gas fixtures.
If gas is to expensive to burn then the
electric light should be tarnel on
The clock is not playthirg and
light on the Copital dome and one on
the Government Building the main
street would put on far better appear
ance
Several citizens were talking over
improvements yesterday. One suggest
ed that the city furnish better LIGHTS;

Work Pro .ressing

When Chief Engineer Hood was in
Ogden Friday he stated in an inter
view that the people seem hardly
aware of the great magnitude of the
work being done by this company,
says the Ogden Standard. Especially
he mentioned the work at RyndOn,
Nevada, on witch work has progressed
the last year and which will take over
a year yet to complete. At this point
Messrs. Erickson & Peterson, the big
railroad construction contra ctOrs, keep
an average of 400 men at work; they
have a good sized electric plant, the
dynamos propelled by 175-horse
power engine, which furnishes light
for all the work in the tunnels and on
the grade the wires extending over
seven miles. Theteare incandescent
lamps in the tunnels and arc lights on
the grades, so that work goes on both
day and night with out interruption
Tunnel No. is the west one of the
three. 1t is $3.50 feet in length and
is nearly completed. The timbers in
this tunnel, as in ALL are 1Ox14 inches.
They are placed close together near
the portals and the spaces widen as
they go into the tunnel They are
backed up with three inch tagging,
and are in perfect alignment, making
as pretty timbering work as one
would care to look at
Tunnel No. is the main tunnel of
the three. Near its western portal are
located the power house, Erickson &
Peterson's main Office, the railroad
surveyors Office and the Ryndon tele-
graph and passenger station. The tun-
mel is AGO feet long; 600 feet on the
west end and 1900 feet on the east

A preliminary prospectus of the

Salt Lake City to San Francisco is

says that the San Francisco Terminal
Railway & Ferry company, an auxil-

an issue of bonds to raise $4,000 900.
This money is to be used to carry out
arrangements for the purchase of a
large tract of land in San Francisco

NO entertainment.
Reason Why Ne Theatrical Companies
Visit Nevada.

Reno is one of te best THAR, towns
for its size on the coast. 1t is sitaa-
ted on the main line of travel across
the continent and there should be no
difficulty in securing good attactions
as they pass by, but there hos been
no entertainment here for t-c months
wrong with the mana cement of the
opera house.-Reno Journal
There is nothing wrong with the
opera house management, as the man.
ager has done everything possible to
get good attractions for the Nevada
circuit, but the big companies will
not stop-that is, the ones that come
over the Central Pacific. The dearth
of shows is caused principally by the
theatrical trust, which owns or con-
trolls theatres all over the coast, and
to their houses The trust now sends
companies from the East over the CEN
trail route to Salt Lake, and then they
go north and down the coast, contln-
uing on through California to Arizona
and then back East. Besides the jump
from Ogden to Sacramento, with only
Reno, Carson and Virginia to show in
makes the trip too expensive, and the
companies are now seeking the pay
ing towns of the coast. One of the con
ditons which also prevails is that the
persons who are seldom seen at per
Torrance are the ones who are won
dering why no theatrical companie:
visit the Nevada circut.-Enterprise.
" While the Enterprise is in the bust
ness of explaining the cause and effec
it might be well to mention that thu
high prices charged in the Nevada cir
cult has something to do with the
small attendance that is found at thu
theatrical performa noes. Shows tina
aregiven in the cities with all of thu
side lights and where fifty cents i:
charged, comes to the Nevada circui
and the people pay 81 or stay home
they generally stay at home. Should
Manager Piper come out of his dream
and institute popular prices, then h
would fill the opera house when h.
has a performance. There has neve
been a popular price combination vi
sit this State, but what it has file
the houses. If fifty cents is enough t
see the travelling shows in the big q
ties. it is enough to charge in Nevada
BY the time the head of the faml
puts up a dollar a head for the entir
family, it results in heavy assess
ment, and unless the attraction is Q
unusual merit he feels like good sur
has been expended for very little r.
turn. Popular prices will do as muc
to solve the problem as will the the
atrical trust. It is worth the try-out.

THE INQUIRY INTO INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Will Probably Be Conducted by Some One
Outside the Interior Department.

Washington. Aug 22-secretary Hitchcock is in
daily expectation Of q reply to a letter which he
has written 10 the officers of the Indian Rights
Association concerning representations made by
their representative, Mr.. Brosius relative 10 con-
ditions in Indian Territory. and he says that II
then the situation seems such as 10 justify a
statement by him ne viii make one. but that Tor
the present he will not discuss it.
He recognizes the general interest in the charges
made, but takes the position that premature ols-
cussion Of them will not result advantageously
He gives assurance however that all irregularities
in the territory will be fully investigated. and IN
deed says the investigation is now under way
While the Secretary does not authorize such a
statement. il now seems probable that some per
son connected with the department VIII De
selected 70 conduct the inquiry
