January 20, 19O6.-My Dear Sir:
The state contract with the publishers

The law requires that all the public
schools shall use the adopted books,
and no others, list of which you have.
The records of sales show that the
people are now taking advantage of
the exchange prices as they should,
and | therefore urge you to bring this
matter to the attention of the teachers
and patrons of the public schools in
your parish. Thanking you,
Yours very truly,

Concerning Proposed Car Shops.

Recently a report was circulated in
Sparks to the effect that the South
ern Pacific railroad company was con
templating the erection of shops for
the building Of refrigerator cars for
the transportation of fruit and other
manifest freight.
Authentic news was sought on the
subject by one of the Forum staff but
the officials would neither deny nor
confirm the rumor.
The rumor came from a source which
is considered somewhat unreliable, but
nevertheless a statement was made re-
Gently in one of the San Francisco
papers to the effect that the Southern
Pacific railway company was contem-
plating the building of such shops, but
the place was not designated. IL the
company were to build such shops in
Sparks it would mean al increase in
the population of the town from three
to five thousand. Information of val.
ne will no doubt be obtained on the
subject in a few days.-Sparks Fo'

Storm Sweeps State.

One of the greatest storms that ever
swept over the western part of the
state struck Reno and neiphboring
towns Monday night. The power lines
were all crippled and all industries de-
pendent upon electrical power were
stopped. Reno was in darkness for
more than six hours and for more than
eight hours not a wheel was turned by
electricity in the city. The mines at
Virginia City were all closed as a re-
suit of the storm. The storm is said
to have been more severe in the south
ern part of the state than it was I'D

more was falling. The railroad I'm

Frozen to Death in Storm.

GOLDF1ELD, New, Dec. 1.-THE
body of Lee Squires, better known as
"Doc" Squires, was brought into this
city yesterday from Cuprite station.
The man was frozen stiff. Squires
started from Goldfeld on Tuesday
to walk to Rhyolite. He was thinly

trudge through the snow, he headed
toward the Cuprite station on the
Tonopah and Bullfrog line. His body
was found a few feet from the tracks
and but a hundred yards from the

the colors are finely graded, that any
