SEWER NOTES.

The sewer trench having reached
the railroad crossing on Morris street
the engineers, Williams, Proctor &
Potts notified the Lackawanna that
they intended to go under the tracks.
Under date of October nine, but not
mailed until two days after, letter
was received from Superintendent
Ketchum stating understand that
you have no permit to do this work
and under the circumstances we can
not permit you to go under our
tracks. The letter further stated that
the communication had been referred
to the Principal Assistant Engineer,
A. ). Neaffie.
The sewer board had some commun-
ication with the railroad some time
ago about the matter when the rail
road submitted an agreement under
which the town agreed to remove the
pipes on sixty days notice from the
railroad. Naturally the board did not
execute any such agreement.
Contractor Costa has mad a steam
pump set up at the Wetmore avenue
ejector plant and drawn out the water
which causeda suspension of opera
tions. The work will be pushed to
completion, the iron beams for the
roof being on hand, also portion Of
the apparatus which the Ansonia Co.,
will install after the chamber is done.
Work has also been resumed on the
James street chamber.
Sewers are at present being laid on
Morris street, Washington avenue and
place, Division street, Boykin street,
Speedwell avenue and Lincoln street.
Pipes have been laid on Olyphant
place

The committee for sending out the
annual appeals for the Industrial
School finds that by the omission of a
comma, one sentence of their appeal
is very misleading. The materials
are not for the Christmas Festival,
but for the school work. The funds
are used for the Morristown Industrial
School, not for the Italian Mission,
The children Of tie Italian Mission
are invited to the Christmas Festival
every year, which Of course adds TO
the expense.

Latter -Humana
delights al who
inspect It.
Our warsrOoms are Open Evenings

It is truly reckless to declare
that because you are a satisfac-
tory pianist you are not interested
in the LAUTER HUMANA.
One intelligent concert pianist of
our acquaintance said to us with
in a few days: u had thought the
LAUTER-HUMANA a fine thing
for those who could not play for
themselves, and never imagined
that I would ever want to use it
for other than playing by hand.
I now see my mistake / play on
my daughters with the aid Of
music-rolls constantly. ] find it
delightful to be able to play all
classes of music, all the great
masters, with artistic precision,
and without the labor of constant
practice."
This wonderful instrument
makes piano-playing possible for
everybody. The remarkable HUI
mana mechanism is, as its name
indicates, Aaneaa-zlhe in its eff
cheney. 1t is possible to play with
artistic finish, it's possible to give
a thoroughly individual rendition
because of the remarkable power
in expression, accentuation and
phrasing. No other instrument
has this power as has the LAU-
TER-HUMANA.
The LAUPER HUMANA
can also be played by hand in the
usual way. 1t is actually TWO
PIANOS IN ONE.
We can take your present
piano in part payment. We will
make valuation free of charge on
request.
We will gladly mail illus
trated catalog to any address on
Ieceipt Of a postal card.

10000 ACRES IN 80 ACRE LOTS
NOW READY.
Special Correspondent to the Silver
State Describes Work Going on
on the Carson Sink.

With the present intense activity in
mining throughout the state, people
take little interest in the reclamation
work being carried on by the Govern
ment. Although much has been writ
ten of the Truckee Carson project and
reclaiming of the arid land, the work
has been thought of generally as
doubtful experiment. 1t is results that
people look for. A mine is discovered
today and produces gold and silver to-
morrow That is giving results which
bring, in one way or another, profit to
all, is Of the first interest to all.
But another of Nevada s great in
dustries, the making of farms on desert
land, is about to have it's inning and
will share the limelight with the mines.
1t will not be a rival but an ally to
the latter in attracting men and money
to the long neglected state.

TRAIN WRECK AT
BOCA
TRACK TORN UP FOR FOUR
MILES.
Four Cars Thrown in the Ditch and
All Traffic was Delayed Over
Fifteen Hours.

The track between Boca and True
kee, says the Reno Evening Gazette,
was torn up for four miles by the de-
railing of freight train shortly after
Z O'Clock Thursday evening and all
east bound trains were delayed from
eleven to fifteen hours.
A heavily laden car of west bound
freight did the mischief. The load
shifted to one side of the cer nd lifted
the wheels on the other side clear off
the track. They settled, one wheel in
side the rail and one outside, with the
motion of the car, and the train pro-
ceeded four miles before this condi-
tion was discovered.
The accident was not discovered un-
til four cars had been overturned and
when the train was brought to stop
it was found that the track was use
less for a distance of four miles.
The wrecker was rushed from
Truckee, but it was necessary to
shovel the snow from the track before
any work could be done. All the fish
plates and bolts had been torn away
and the track was so dangerous that
all east bound trains were held at
Truckee until the track was repaired.
The heavy fall of snow during the
past week and the darkness Of the
night added to the difficulty and it was
late this morning before it was safe to
allow any trains to move over the
track
Meanwhile the overland limited and
trains 4 and "a were waiting at True
kee. The passengers at first got out
of the coaches ard walked around, ex-
pectnig that it would be but few
minutes before the track was clear
AS the night wore on, they went back
to their respective trains and went to
sleep.
No. 2, the overland limited, due to
arrive at Reno at 9:45 o'clock Thurs.
day evening, did not get there until
half past twelve Friday afternoon and
the other trains came struggling along
,, later.

STATES MINING CLAIMS WE'RE
NOT SOLD.
Silver State In Receipt Of Letter
From T. f. Melody Who Denies
Report Of Mining Sale,

Some time since the Silver State
published an article relative to a min
ing sale of property on Willow Creek.
The information for the article was se-
cured from H. H. McColley of Willow
Creek.
1t appears however, that Mr.. Nc
Colley was misinformed in regard to
the matter, for by letter received re-
Gently from Mr.. Melody he states that
no sale as described in the Silver State
occurred. Mr.. Melody states that he
and F. P. Snapp own the Cottontail
group Of claims situated, not on Will
low Creek, but on Rebel Creek, two
miles from the Rebel Creek postoffice
Therefore the many friends of Mr..
Melody, who were ready with con-
gratulations on his good fortune will
feel considerable regret that the news
is not so, as the Silver State feels, and
as no doubt Mr.. McColley also feels.

LAND IN COUNTLESS ACRES WILL BE
READY FOR THE PLOWSHARE

slow on the project in Churchill county
but it has been exceedingly sure. TO-
600 acres in S0-acre lots are now ready
for the homesteader. In another year
that amount will be increased to 50,O0O
acres. The work will go on from year
to year until eventually 100000 acres
of virgin desert land will be ready for
the transforming into fields of hay
and grain.
The Southern Pacific has built a
branch line into Fallon, town of a
day, iguratively speaking, yet already
Of thousand people in the very heart
of the land to be reclaimed. And the
railroad now signifies its intention of
advertising the land throughout the
nation and attrcting homesteaders here.
How well the powerful Hartman sys-
tenn does such work can be seen in the
growth of Southern California. It will
bring settlers to Nevada and bring
them in great numbers.
Land in countless acres will be ready
for the plowshare, nd water waiting
to be drawn from the bitches. With
her mines of silver and gold and her
half f-million acres Of fertile desert
