laying of steel between this city and
Carson Valley started. A train load
of rails were sent to the scene OF
operation south Of this city and be-
fore night fall over mile had been
laid. The grading and bridge work
was finished late last fall but owing
to the wet weather and the con1
dition of the grade the laying of steel
was postponed until the present time
AS the material is all on hand and
the men engaged it will be but a
short time until the new road is in
active operation and one of the rich
est valleys in the west will be con-
nected with this city and trains will
be running inside of forty days.
By the construction Of railroad
to Carson Valley there opens some
great possibilities both in an agricul-
tural and mining way. All Of the old
camps and a number of new mining
towns are coming to the front with
rich ores The haulage to the mines
has been a heavy item, but with a
railway twenty miles closer to the
scene of operation it viii result in
renewed activity in that quarter.
The new town of linden promises
to become a commercial center by
the advent of the steam horse. Larg-
er fields will be cultivated and new
enterprises started The new road
places many outside districts in touch
with conditions that could not exist

their all new circus here this season
they will present some dashing. dar-
ing bareback riders who bear names
famous in the world OF the white tents

of accomplished equestrians who per
form one of the most graceful acts

sister stand upright upon the horses
back, then Miller takes his sister
in his arms and rides the two horses
alone. Miss Miller assumes graceful
poses in arious positions, while the
highly educated horses continue their
galloping. 1t is doubtful if there is
anything prettier or more interesting
than the Miller's two horse carrying
act. Mr.. Miller also performs what
is called a hurricane hurdle and
jocl1y act. upon pure bred frey
Arabian Stallion, Miller stands up
right, dashing at highest speed and
leaping high hurdles and over OBJ
stacles until the wonder of it all is
that he can maintain his perilous and
difficult position

rites as Edna Marietta. the only.
woman somersault rider: Ell. w.
Hocum, principal rider: Gertrude Ar
cher. III a clever menage act. Austin
King. the well known jockey; Herbert
Rumley, famed as rough rider

THE eEWlLDERING RAYMOND
The Man Who Masters All Known
Makes of Handouts


Carson is having a genuine SEN
sation in the bewildering jugglery Of
RAYMOND. He was billed for two
nights and no one but a very first
class attraction ever thinks of trying
the emper of the Carson theatre
goers for two nights. Raymond gave
a performance that started the entire
town talking from the sedate business
man to the small street gamin.
His greatest and most effective
stunt is getting out of handouts.
OF course all the sheriffs in seven
teen counties think they have the
corner on handouts. There are now
in the United States four hundred
and fivty four different makes Of hand
cuffs and each sheriff has the very
latest Sheriff Kinney told his deputy
to get the most fashionable enc he
had The Easter style Of handcuff, and
get it on Raymond. knOblOck tried

to make it sure handcuffed his hands
behind him. This gentleman is hard
ly fair" said Raymond Il never be
fore had my hands in this" and as he
spoke he had dropped the cuffs to the
floor and his hands were free and in
front him as he extended his right
hand to the Sheriff to shake
This was indeed astonishing and
Knoblock dug up an old style cuff
known as the "corkscrew' it snaps
together and then you have to twist
key into one end ard unwind for
about five minutes to get it unlocked
The idea is to make it even difficult
to open when you nave the key.
Knoblock figured that this device
was so old that Raymond had for
gotten it, The cuffs We're snapped
on his wrists and inside two seconds
they were Off again. Knoblock said
'"That settles it with me-" and they
all went next door and took a drink
at his expense.
Yesterday a committee consisting

and after visiting various resorts
finally landed at Davey and Maishes

They drove about mile. On theil
return Raymond then followed the
route in the same rig. He was blind

mad gallop. He made every stop they
did and over the identical ground.
None of the Committee would ride
