Gossip in Railway Circles

w. H. Bancroft, general manager of
the Oregon Short Line, has been ap-
pealed to by the residents of Nevada to
help them in the way of fuel. 1t appears
that while the State Board of Asses
sors was holding a meeting in Reno
a message was received by the Gov
ernor from Virginia City asking him
to devise some means to relieve the
fuel distress. It was stated that there
was neither wood nor coal in the town
and that the situation was serious.
The Governor read the telegram to
the board and asked each member to
act in concert with him in requesting
Bancroft TO send as many carloads OF
coal as could possibly be procured to
prevent further suffering. The people
OF Reno are in almost the same plight
as those in Virginia City. Many fami-
lies have banded together and cook
their meals on the same stove to save
fuel A telegram was received at Reno
from the Floriston Paper Works say
ing that the company would send
broken lumber and wood, although II
was itself short OF fuel.
z. Black Ryan. tax agent for the
Southern Pacific has returned from
Nevada and says that last Monday IL
