beer of various brands. The beer

county from this source alone The
beer will be sold by the boctle add
not by the barrel. for the reason
that the law fo,bids the dispensary
to sell more than four and a half

ten that it is almost trite to talk
about them any more. 1t remains,
however to be said that the road from

plGwed up, being repaired and is next

From Laieview on the west side OF
the lake nCrth, the road is not yet
impossible TO wagons but it is almost
so, as far as WushOe City. On the
east side OF the lake, owing to re-
cent rains, the road is badly cut up
and while a stretch Of sand is easily
passed now tne bad gullies and holes
make the road hard TO get over.
