The Truth About Santa Claus.

l Write myself down as one who still believes in Santa Claus Don't you? Are you one of those very literal folk who have their doubts whether they ought to let their children cling to the beautiful old myth:
 Without imagination, without dreams, without poetry, this old world of ours would be q very wearisome place. Its road would be sleeper than 1t is-much like sleighing over bare ground would our progress be as compared with sleighing over deep. hard packed snow.
 The poetic myth of the old saint, with his reindeer and his jingling bells and his bulging pack of toys and bon bons, has charmed thousand genera tions. The stocking hung by the chim- ney on Christmas eve, the children staying awake until sleep bounced on them like strong man armed, the presents filling them from top to toe in the morning. the rush of the bare feet hurrying fast across the floor, the merry uproar. the bubbling laughter, the shouts of joy-the whole of this family pageant belongs to dear Santa Claus. We owe it to him. Graduall5A as the golden mists of childhood clex before the sun and the trailing cloudl l of glory" fade, our small men and woy men discover that Santa Claus is not one, but ten thousand; that he is better than they knew, being just the spirit Of love, good will and beautiful un- selfshness that makes the world beautiful place to live in now and makes it a good starting point for heaven by and by. For you and me there is hope that we may do our duty In this world lovingly while we keep the child heart and believe in Santa.

Council Passes
Contract to
New Firm

With clauses incorporated barring
Oriental labor and providing that the
difference which might obtain in
freight rates to the city. and 10 a
contractor go to the city, the sewer
contract was awarded last night to
the Rankin Construction Co. the
lowest bidder. Mr.. Rankin. asked
that the contract be sent to him at
Reno, whore he goes this morning.
He said there was no doubt that the
contract would be satisfactory TO his
company but preferred to have the
company attorney examine the
papers. The council adjourned
until this evening at O'Clock
Mr.. Rankin said yesterday that If
he took the contract, he would have
II completed by the middle of August
He further said that ali help on the
contract would be local with the ex
ception of O foreman and few
other experienced men. Mr.. Rankin
was the engineer for Cotton Bros.
OF Oakland, who had the contract
for building the concrete bridge
across the Truckee river at Reno.
An ordinance which would seem
10 be mainly designed for the pnr-
pose of keeping City Engineer on the
job, was presented and passed it's
second reading at the meeting Wed
nesday night. Its terms would prob
ably prevent the next council
finding man to put in the place of
the present engineer should II so de-
sire. The principal joker is con-
sidered to be in article l. of section
