Douglas County's Roads.

Douglas county enjoys the distinc-
ton of being one of the wealthiest
counties in Nevada. 1t has equally
undisputed claim to having the poor
est roads which lie out doors. What
shortsighted policy is responsible for
this state of things. The News knows
not, but it is very plain that something
should be done the coming season if
Douglas wishes to be listed with the
communities that are alive and awake
to their opportunities. Practically ev-
cry thing that is shipped in or out of
Douglas county passes through this
city, and goes over the road to, or
from, Gardnerville.
1t ought to be plain to every citizen
of the county, in these days of good
roads agitations, that a first class
wagon road is the next thing to a
railroad
1t now costs the people of Douglas
about 81 per ton to get their freight
from this city over a miserable road.
With good roads the same service
might easily be performed for 81 per
ton, and the saving thus effected
would foot up to several thousands of
dollars in year-at least $4,000.
Half the number of horses could
easily haul the load now taken up the
valley and the repairs to vehicles a.
lone would be a considerable item for
consideration.
The present road hardly can lay
righteous claim to the name 1t needs
no description. Most people have
been over it.
1t has been estimated that it would
probably require $4,000 to put this
thoroughfare in first class shape, and
thereafter very small sum would
suffice for maintenance. The News
has talked with number of the heav-
lest taxpayers of the county and they
all express themselves as heartily in
favor of bonding the county for such
sum as may be necessary and pro-
ceeding with the work at once, or as
soon as may be. One large Douglas
county farmer estimates that it costs
him $1,000 for repairs to his big and
other wagons, and says three-quarters
of this sum can be traced to the mis-
cradle road between Gardnerville and
Carson City.
Nothing tends to eliminate distance
and cheaper transportation as do good
roads, and the people of Douglas I'M
doubtedly realize this as we'll as any
one. If Douglas will do her duty by
her citizens, there is no reason to
doubt that 0rmsby county will take
up the good work at the county line
and complete the road into this city.
This question is one of extreme i'm
port ance and both parties in Douglas
should be pledged at the forthcoming
conventions to see it consumated.-

Visitation of an Oriental Stork,

Last week we felicitated ourselves
on being able to chronicle no less than
six visitations from the local storlz
and then missed the mark by one.
Charley On, a christianized celestial,
who for the past twenty-five years has
been cook ut the Chris Dangberg
ranch, about year ago visited San
Francisco and returned with a diminu-
tive footed, and blushing bride. Last
week the kind of stork that we used
TO see pictured ON china tea chests,
made its first appearance in these
parts and invested Mr.. On with the
cares of paternity.
As china help is becoming scarce
may the good work go On.
