The "Borax'' Smith railroad has at
last reached the Lila G. mine in
Death valley and the famous 20-mule
teams will exist no more. While the
old familiar trademark will proba-
bly, continue to greet the eye on the
refined product, it will be but re-
minder of a romantic past. for the
borax now comes out of the desert
on the ordinary fiat car of commerce,
about when there clings little of the
aspect of romance.

The new town of Buckley on the
Califorsia and Nevada railroad, on
the Walker Lake reservation, is rap
idly becoming busy place, due to
the development of the mines in that
section. Five properties in the vi
entity are taking out shipping ore
and there are two or three loaded
cars on the sidetrack all the time.
The launches for Dutch creek. across
the lake, now leave for Buckley in
stead of Walker Siding and the town
has assumed such Importance as a
center of mining operators that an
application has been made for post
office.

Reno is certainly infested by as
mean lot of thieves as disgrace the
outside of prison walls. From time
to time petty thievery is brought to
public notice through the police
courts and the newspapers, and
stories of box-car robberies and
things of that sort have long since
ceased to attract any particular at
tention, but Tuesday night produced
the banner piece of mean thievery so
far recorded. That night, after the
nightly meeting of the Volunteers of
America, some sneak thief entered
the hall and stole the electric lamps
from the wires.

The war over the boundary line
between Douglas and Lyon counties
goes merrily on and of the three sep
arate surveys establishing the divi-
sion, no one has yet been accepted as
the right one. The dispute involves
Buckskin, Smith valley and several
other places that mean quite reve-
nue. in taxes to the county which is
confirm in possession. At present the
residents of these disputed points re-
fuse to pay any taxes. If they pay
to Douglas county and the Lyon
county claim should win out they
would have to pay again, so they do
not pay at all. Neither county can
force payment owing to the dispute
SO the people go taxless.

sure Service mt the Present Time,
but other Extensions Are
Absolutely Necessary.

At the meeting OF the city council last
night the report Of w. Kiersted of Kansas
City, the expert hydraulic engineer en-
ployed by the city, filed his report embra-
cling the schedule Of water rates on which
he has been working for the last week.
Mr.. Kiersted who was employed to COM
pute the value OF the present water works
plant and estimate the cost Of new one,
was brought back here last Monday to as
sist the special water works committee, of
which Councilman Wallace Is chairman,
to arrange a schedule Of water rates to be
incorporated in the proposed new franchise
for the Council BLUFFS Water Works com
pany.
Engineer KIersted's Report.
The report follows:
have the honor to submit a report on a
schedule OF water rates governing the
charge which the Council Bluffs Water
Works company may make for water ser
vice in this city, and In so doing respect
fully ask your consideration of draft OF
an ordinance herewith enclosed embOdy-
ing a schedule Of rates in line with my re-
port Of short time ago.
The company reports, 2,S39 nat rate water
consumers, LAB metered water consumers.
Assuming all OF these services TO be active
and paying services, then under the pro,
posed schedule of water rate the estimated
gross income:
For fiat rate umers................,.S2 S, 36S
For metered consumers. ................. 45,464
For hydrant rentals at $50 per hydrant
for &S hydrants. ........................ 1880
Total $91, liz
II is stated, however, that all services
are not active throughout the year and
therefore the estimated fiat rate income Is
not, and will not be in fact, as high as
estimated. The books show a gross income
for 1905 Of nat rate consumers of $26,262
and an income from miscellaneous sources
of S437. 1t Is further stated that three hos
pitfalls receive water without compensation
and II is computed that the cash value of
the water delivered to the hospitals under
the proposed schedule of rates Is $,1T
Therefore, If deductions are made accord
ngly from the estimated gross income OF
SOL, 1l2, the available gross income would
not then approximate $SS 256.
A comparison of gross income with valua-
ton computed in line with my report on
valuation, the cost OF operation being
constant quality in each case is shown by
the following tabulation:
