man. people parted with her property in anticipation of a drop real estate
and othersw who desired to invest wera scared away
The threatened move has done more to rard the growth OF tbs W than
IN other cause, and still has n wn have a tendency that way If the matter
we're better understood it would nave n such effect for the change if really
made can hurt this w but little
The present is, to the fleet t at he dvfson will be moved to a pace
about eight miles west from Mil City. an that water will be piped from
Starr Creek. The water is already appropriated for agricultural purposes and
also for mining n milling. The miners NJ mill men have a right which the
law recognizes equally with e railroads, am sine the miners are first in time.
they are first right, nd the railroad company will have to take the water,
if at ALL subject to the first right of the miners.
This means that the water will re- if conveyed by pipe. impm ant unfit for
either domestic or mechanical use except for power. As the water "us nov
it traverses several miles through gravel to reach the farmer, M is pure nj
wholesome.
But apart from this situation a long time must eapse before the change
could be made for other reasons. n before then the Western Pacific VIII be
rolling along through the Humboldt bo4oms IN through the tow of Winnie
muca 1t is also likely trat Nmnemuca viii be if lot a terminal at least a
freight and passenger division point This alone will more han compensate fer
my lost the W woulds ufer from a change in the Southern Pacific division

position the distributing center of y grat traffic
One of these lines is projected south ron Boise Cdy, while another partly
constructed and Know as the Astoria d wfnnenucea Railroad, is headed Tor
Humboldt through the great territory lying to the northwet But independent

TIL future of Winnemucc ever thu Southern Pacific car have no desire 10
destroy the value Of property along its route n there are many reasons not
necessary to stateh here why the company has very reasont to be friendly to
the people of this county.
The reason urged for his change is hat III run from Sparks is too long
for the endurance # fremen. Ihs is doubtless true but here are better way
Tor meeting this difficulty than by changing the division. In point IF fact it
is we understood thai the distance IS not hi difficulty; that the trouble arts >
from the int taken up in mcels
The rational economical nd soon to be unavoidable remedy is IN a doltle
track The passing tracks have already been extended to reach the trouble
INC for the more expeditions handling of the increase traffic thc road has
peer double tracked from the bay To Sacramento. it is therefore not unlikely
tina instead Of changing divisions, which an only give a emporary relief that
ue ompan will conclude to jouble track its entire road through Nevadr
