Comstock Burglars.

A burglar or burglars effected an
entrance to the International saloon
this morning, but nothing of value
was taken. One of the plate glass
windows in the sample room Of the
hotel was removed and the intruders
by forcing another door gained hall
way entrance to the saloon. A double
swinging door was then pried apart
The burglars were evidently amateurs
at their work, as evidenced by marks
on the doors. That was nothing was

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

next six months.
The contract was awarded to ].

Bids were also hi for supplying
collins for the burial Of the deal at
the county poor farm and for coffin,
hearse, lot and funeral complete for
indigents buried by the county from
other places. On the first NJ A. Dow

complete $3.50. The bids of George
.Kitzmeyer for the same service was
s14 and $40. The contract was award

LAY TRACK IN SPRING.
Western Pacific, it is Said, Will Be.
gin Work Early.

The Ogden Journal says that 8. M.
Stone who has been in charge of the
preliminary work being done by the
Western Pacific near ToanO, near the
UTAH Nevada boundary line, states
that the company has just completed
the boring of the sixth well along the
proposed route and work in this par
ticular branch has been discontinued
until the spring opens. The wells are
placed at intervals of from fifteen to
twenty miles along the route and will
supply ample water for the road &C.
ross the desert
1t was a gigantic undertaking and
has been brought to successful close
after several months work. The wells
were put down with an eight-inch
casing and in many instances several
hundred feet had to be drilled to get
a satisfactory flow Of water. The wa
ter in all instances is pure and cold
and will serve for drinking purposes
as well as power. 1t is the intention Of
the company to convert these well
districts into an oasis in the desert.
The exact date of the construction
work has not been given out. but it
is the general impression among the
surveyors and other employees of the
company that with the breaking Of
the spring the new transcontinental
road will lay the first track in New

A Fair Sample.

Since the people of Carson began
to investigate the condition of the
trees, they are more than surprised
at the amount of scale and disease
that is shown in every quarter of the
city A fair sample was on exhibition
yesterday
Among the trees that were being
trimmed at the Humphrey place there
was one limb taken to an up town
store to show. The brush was simply
a mass of scale. The insects had COW
cred the branch to such an extent that
it was of brown cast, and resemble l
a dead limb. 1t was only by cutti in g

show life. Under a magnifying glass
the little insects resemble a bed Of
oysters and are clustered as close
together as they can stick On and
around them can be seen thousands
upon thousands of eggs that are de
signed to spread the plague when the
summer warmth brings them into
life.
When a tree is infected to this ex
tent it can only be saved by careful
trimming and a generous supply OF
spray. This one tree contains enough
animal life to spread disease into ev
cry tree in this city.
This is probably only one of the
abundance, which should incite thi
holders of property into the precau
ton of seeing that the trees are exam
ined and given the prescribed am
cunt of spray and plenty of trimming
