General Harries Commands.

General Harries is commanding the at
tackIng forces, which include every Ell
listed man in camp with the exception
Of one small company which was left
at Camp Ordway for guard duty. The
comma nding general is maintaining the
strictest discipline on the march. No
loud talking or singing is allowed and
the men have been prohibited from
lodging into cornfieIds for shelter At
all of the lectures held throughout the
encamDmeut, Colonel Brett and the
other instructors have warned regimen
tai battalion, and company COM
manderS against permitting their men
TO Tx, sing. and make all sorts OF
noises while on the march because such
sounds betrayed 20 the enemy the loca-
ton OF the forces which were marching.
General Harries has heard OF great
many violations OF this order but this
morning he will see and hear for him
self, az he accompanies the troops on
the road for the first time today.

Colonel Brett's forces made a stub

lost in the hurry TO get out of range OF
the guns of Colonel Ross men. This
engagement closed the first part Of the
days program. and Colonel Brett was
declared the loser. The return TO camp
constituted the second part of the FRO

men that they would have to retrieve
their lost laurelS, and win the afternoon
engagement in order TO square them
selves with the General" and hold up
their reputation as fighters. The men
had substantial lunch, and the return

Work on the Tonopah Road.

Byto-night, it is stated at the
railroad Office, Mclean & Nc
Sweeney will have completed
thirty-six miles of their work,
and the first of the week they
will break camp and move to a
point near Stuart's wells.
Oddie & Overbury have about
finished their contract from the
thirty-seventh to the torty-sixth
mile, inclusive. They are now
dressing the grade preparatory
to turning it over for the ties
and track.
The contractors at work near
Tonopah have made a good
showing during the week, and
judging by the progress that has
already been made, all of the
heavy work about Tonopah
will be completed by the time
the grade reaches it.
The track laying forces are
now thoroughly organized and
are laying the material as fast
as it can be delivered by the Car
son and Colorado. From half
to three-quarters of a mile per
dav is being laid and it is ex-
pected to increase this to a mile.
1t all depends on the c. & c.
Fourteen gondoia and fiat cars
have arrived up to date and two
of the new engines r at Car
son City. where they are being
overbauled and set up for ser
vice by the Virginia & Truckee
shops. The first passenger coach
is expected to arrive by April
1st. and as soon as the track
laying forces reach Coal wells,
d station will be established
there and the company will then
start to handle both freight and
passengers. BY tonight eight
miles of track will be completed
and surfaced, and with good
weather Coal wells should be
reached by April 10th.
Both Superintendent Trip
and Acting Chief Engineer Welsh
have been out on the line this

Loss VIII Be Heavy.

A dispatch from Truckee to
the Reno Gazette announces that
the rise of Lake Tahoe is caus-
ing great damage to numerous
resorts around its shores. The
water is so high that the waves
are breaking up the wharves
and buildings and the loss to
the property will be enormous.
The big wharf at Tahoe City
was demolished last week and
the Tahoe Navigation company
expects to lose the long wharf
on which its supply of fuel and
other equipment are stored.
The water is up to the stringer
of the wharf now and is expect
ed to go at least two feet higher.
The Tevis boat house and the
various resorts at Tallac, Nc
Kinney's, Brockway and Tahoe
City were all damaged to a
greater or less extent during the
past few days.
The water is now higher than
at any time since 1861 and is
within four inches of the top OF
the dam. 1t will continue to
rise even after the overflow of
the dam has been repaired. The
loss will reach many thousands
of dollars.

A Father to His Daughter.


Here are a few words taken
from an exchange that could be
read with profit in every house
hold: A father, talking to a
careless daughter, said: Il
want to talk to you of your
mother. 1t may be that you
have noticed the careworn loon
upon her face lately. OF course,
It has not been brought there by
any action of yours; still it is
your duty to chase it away. l
want you to arise tomorrow
morning and prepare breakfast,
and when your mother comes
and begins to express surprise,
go right up and kiss her. You
can't imagine how it will bright
en- her dear face. Besides, you
owe her a kiss or two. Away
back, when you were a little
girl, she kissed you when no one
else was tempted by your fever
tainted and swollen face. You
were not as attractive then as
YOU are now. And through
those years of childish sunshine
and shadow she was always
ready to cure, by the magic of
a mothers kiss, the little dirty,
chubby hands whenever they
were injured in those first skirIn-
jshes with the rough world. And
then the midnight kiss with
which she routed 30 many bad
dreams, as she leaned over your
restless pillow. have been on in
terest all these long. long years.
"Ofcourse, she is not SO pretty
and kissable as You are, but if
you had done your share for the
last ten years thecontrast would
not be SO marked. Her face has
more wrinkles than yours, far
more. and yet if you were sick
that face would appear more
beautiful than an angels, as it
lowered over you watching for
TN opportunity TO administer to
your comfort, and every one of
those wrinkles would seem to be
bright wavelets of sunshine chas-
ing each other over her dear face.
She will leave you one of these
days. These burdens, If not
lifted from her shoulders, will
break her down. Those rough,
hard hands that have done SO
many necessary things for you
will be folded on a lifeless breast.
Those neglected lips that gave
you your first baby kiss will be
forever closed, and those sad,
tired eyes will open ia eternity,
and then you will appreciate
your mother; but it will be too
late"
