TRACT.
Truckec Republican Reporter
Visits 1t.

riliroad town, and Of the O.Sullivan
tract, a map Of which appears in this
paper. the Truckee Republican says.
For a year or more previous TO the
beginning Of actual work there we're a
number of parties on the market sell
ing town lots at or near where 1t was
thought the shops or division head
quarters would b. ioeAt-d. Now that
work has started it Is realized that
a number of the sites are far from the
scene OF work and practically valueless.
All the land around where The WORK is
now going on has been subdivided inlo
lots. Undoubtedly the most promis-
ing Of all the tracts is that owned by
J.. B. O'Sullivan. 1t lies directly north
Of the shops, roundhouse and yards and
directly alongside, covering an area Of
eighty acres. One feature Of the land
is that it is high and dry and has per-
feet drainage.
But a few blocks distant WI be To-
Gated the new passenger depot. 1t will
be in direct line with one Of the streets
Of MIR O'Sulllvan's tract. The survey
for the new electric road between Re
no and the new town passes right
trough the center Of Mr.. O'Sullivan's
tract and greatly enhances its value.
Another feature of the land is that
the dust and smoke {. the yards will
not disturb the residents. The wind
invariably comes from the west. car
rying smoke from the shops and en-
gines to one side OF town. The posi-
office will undoubtedly be located on
Mr.. O'Sulliyan's land for the re s9n
that it is the most leasiole place fer
it.
Already a number Of lols have beer
sold to intending settlers. Several
business houses will be in course of
construction within a Short time. At
the present time a forty room hotel is
in course of construction and is now
almost completed. The building is
being erected by Blaisdell & Wallace
men who know what they are doing.
The newspaper agencies have already
been secured by a Reno firm.
O'Sullivan has the ground and he is
not making any unnecessary efforts to
sell it. 1t is there for those who want
It, and the sales show that the public
wants it. Railroad men in particular
are purchasing lots on the tract. Ar
chic Trewick. a we'll known engineer
for over twenty years in the employ OF
the Southern Pacific, has just closed
a deal for some choice locations and
stated that he is going TO build a home
there within a short time. Others
equally well-known have invested in
Mr.. O'Sullivan's land, which goes tc
show that he has good ground, else
railroad men would rot invest their
money with him.
Notwithstanding all these advantages
Mr.. O'Sullivan is offering Inducements
to prospective settlers by selling his
lots at a most moderate price. much
cheaper than they will be in a few
months. He is also anxious to have
business blocks erected on the tract
ard with this end in view will 90 O
than halt way in assisting those who
intend going into business at the new
town to erect buildings. Within a
short time he will also commence the
erection Of a number OF cosy cottages.
which will be rented to employees Of the
railroad company al moderate prices.

Rumor That the Wadsworth Elec-
tric Light and Water Company
VIII Be After Business.

A rumor is a float hat with the com
pletion OF the government canal from
WadsWorth to the Carson river the
Wadsworth Electric Light and Power
Company will be prepared to furnish
immense power for manufacturing
purposes. and will be a close rival to
the Truckee River Electrical Com
pany, whose power plant Is at Mystic.
As the Wadsworth light company's
plant and water right is now located.
the water used by them from the True
kee river is below the catchment Of the
canal and a total loss of the irrigation
enterprise now in the course Of con-
struction.
Henry Esden. the superintendent Of
the WadsWorth Light and Water Co..
is now in San Francisco, and from au-
thentic sources the Information comes
that he has clos-d a deal by which
the canal will take all the water Of the
light c%ompany's right, amounting to
several hundred inches, from til
Truckee and the power house Of the
power house Of the company will be
removed across the river and their
power taken from the canal.
There is a 1870 foot drop in the ca
nal at a point a short distance from
Wadsworth and this will be the site Of
the new power house.
The arrangement is very satisfactory
to both the government and the light
company and with it the company will
be enable to furnish more power at a
minimum cost.-Gazette.

the ch4nge poken Of by the Gazette
would be feasible but nothing has been

In favor of their argument it is point

TORONTO's UNIQUE HORSE SHOW

Toronto. Ont. July 3.-Since the
first Introduction in America Of the
horse show as a Fashionable sporting
function it is doubtful II a more in
teresting and successful affair of the
kind has been held anywhere tnan
the exhibition pulled off in Toronto
today as a part of the Old Home
week program. The show differed
from all others heretofore held mas
much as it was all over in one after
noon and that despite the fact that
as many horses were displayed and
Judged as is ordinarily the case with
the big metropolitan exhibitions
which last a week.
The beautiful Queens park and
University oval, which furnish a
roadway around adjoining circles OF
over two miles. were utilized for the
exhibition. Throughout the length
OF this route were ranged upwards
Of five hundred horses and carriages
which were entered in the show. Sim
utaneOusly several score Of expert
judges began their work and in less
than an hour the prizes had all been
awarded. Then the whole exhibition
moved in procession around the oval
and passed in review before the Gov
ernOr General Lord Mimic. and other
dignitaries who occupied the review
ing stand. The exhibition afforded
an interesting illustration of the i'm
portance of Toronto as a centre of
the horse breeding industry and at
the same time gave enjoyment to up
wards Of two hundred thousand per
sons who lined the two mile route.
1t is estimated that upwards Of TO-
600 former sons of Toronto were pres
ent from Chicago. Detroit, New York,
Cleveland, Buffalo, Syracuse and a
number of other cities throughout
the United States.

SHAMROCK THIRD
WON AGAIN

Boat Close Race-lost on
Home Stretch.

Highlands, n. j.. July 3-The TWO
Shamrocks mad a race over the cup

conditions with a nine-knot breeze
in the ship channel. At 1920 the
yachts started all sails set. Shamrock
had the lead at mooring bOuy, but in
TWO cable lengths Shamrock Ill over
hauled her and swept past. The third
then took down her baby Jlb and IN
two minutes Shamrock | caught up
and passed her. The challenger sent
up more sail, but at 10: 45 Shamrock
was a quarter of a mile ahead.
Shamrock III at 1880 was leading
he Shamrock |. She makes more
fuss than the old challenger, there
being apparently something OF a drag
at her stern.
At 1880 the old Shamrock was
abeam of the challenger, which soon
passed her.
Shamrock | shot past the Sandy

Though it does not cut much fgu 'e
in the hurry burly world of today tie
quaint old town Of Huntington, besides
being one of the oldest communities
in the United States has contributed
in no small way TO the historic annals
of the nation. 1t was here in 1776
that Nathan Hale made his investiga-
tiOns of the British strOnghOlds on
Long Island. and it was here also that
he was captured. A part of the house
where he supped and slept in the night
preceding his capture is still standing.
It was in Huntington that Walt
Whitman began his career. The paper
started by him here is still being pub
lished. and his old home at West Hills
is visited yearly by many tourists.
Also preserved in and near the old
.town are the remains of many British
Notifications.
