The following is an extract from
the San Francisco Examinr of May
22nd:
The contractors for the con-
struction of the Pullman shops at
Richmond are making rapid pro-
gress, and over a hundred men are
now employed on the cement work
for the foundations of the build
ings. The working force will be
increased from time to time as. the
work of construction progresses,
and it is expected that 500 men
will soon be employed upon the
extensive plant which the company
is rushing to completion. The
first order for lumber for con-
struction purposes has been given
out to the dealers and calls for
million feet of various dimensions.
The impulse given to business in
the vicinity of the plant by the
erection of the shops is plainly
evident, and realty brokers report
many sales during the last week.
In several instances the purchasers
declared their intention of erecting
buildings and establishing them
selves in business.
The Southern Pacific will soon
install its local service between
Richmond and Oakland and San
Francisco, and according to the in
formation given out, trains will
run every twenty minutes during
the early forenoon and late after
noon, and during the middle of the
day either forty-minute or hourly
service will be given.

few days ago, Domingo Hernandez
is dead, Jose Herrera badly cut and
in a serious condition, and in Jail
charged with murder, and Jesus
Hernandez is in Jail badly carved
up and charged with assault with
intent to kill committed on Herrera.
Following a dispute over an old
trouble, Jose Herrera secured a gun
and took two shots at tent in
which Domingo Hernandez was
sleeping. This aroused Hernandez
and he took after Herrera with a
long knife. Herrera then got his
gun into action again and shot
Domingo Hernandez through the
heart killing him instantly.
This brought Jesus Hernandez
into the fight armed with a razor.
He chased Herrera through the
streets slashing him frightfully
and was badly cut in being dis
armed. Mr.. Figuera tried to get
into the fight armed with knife
but was arrested before he could
do any cutting.

THE OLD COURTHOUSE

The old courthouse begins to
look like a wreck. The roof is
nearly off and part of the rear walls
is torn down. If those old walls
could speak, what a tale of hap
piness and sorrow they could tell.
Within the old walls criminals
have received sentences that con-
fined them to the penitentiary or
the hangman's moose, while others
have heard the words that meant
life and liberty to them.
The voices of the pleader and the
orator have been heard within those
walls. e There Kinney, Flack,
Bigelow, Talbot, and Brown,
bright galaxy of legal minds, have
evenly held the scales of justice.
Kinney, Flack and Bigelow have
gone to their reward. All of them
have written their names securely
on the pages of Elko county's
history.
The old court house will be torn
down and in its place will arise a
more costly and stately edifice.
Other judges will hold the scales of
justice, but we doubt if in the
years to come, any will hold them
more evenly and more impartially
than those whose names are so in
dellibly associated with the old
building.

and India.
1t is cheaper to carry wheat from
one country to another than from
the barn to the nearest town. The
average distance that an American
farmer has to haul his grain is nine
and half miles, and the average
cost of haulage is 9 cents for a
hundred pounds. Thus it has
actually, become true that to carry
wheat ten miles by wagon costs
more than $500 miles by steamship.
Such is the tense efficiency of our
wheat carrier system that bushel
of grain can now be picked upin
Missouri and sent to the cotton
spinners of England for dime.

THE ROMANCE OF WHEAT

Wheat is the food of pri noes anc
peasants. 1t is the food of the
world. 1t, was known to be the
best food for fifty centuries. but
it did not until thirty or forty years
ago become universal. Every com.
munity ate all it raised. There
was none to sell. 1t was so precious
that only kings and the nobilities
could afford it. 1t was sowed by
peasants, who reaped it with a
sickle by hand. For 5000 years
no better plan was conceived than
the sickle and the scythe. Then
came the reaper, an invention by
Cyrus H. Mccormick, of Scotch
Irish descent. Then the world
began eating bread.
This new machine, the reaper.
when it was full grown into the
self binder was equal to forty
sickles. With one man to drive it.
it could cut and bind enough wheat
in one season to feed 400 persons.
In its most developed form, the
combined harvester and thrasher,
it has become so gigantic machine
that thirty-two horses are required
to haul it.
This leviathan cuts a fifty foot
roadway through the grain, thrashes
it and bags it at thelrate of one bag
every half minute. And the total
world production of reapers of
every sort-self binders, mowers,
headers, corn binders, etc.-is
probably as many as 100000 a
year, two-thirds of them being
made in the United States.
Because of this harvesting ma
chinery the wheat crop of the
world is now nearly twice what it
was in 1879. The American crop
has multiplied six and half times
in fifty years. Western Canada,
Australia, Siberia and Argentina
have become wheat producers.
The cost of growing one bushel
in America with machinery and
high wages is now about half a
dollar, which is less than the cost in
Europe and as low as the cost in
India, where laborers can be hired
for few pennies day. With a
sickle the time cost of a bushel of
wheat was three hours. With a
selfbinder it is now ten minutes.
Then came the steamboat and the
railroad that carried the grain.
At the outset it was shipped in bags.
Then some railway genius invented
the grain car, which, holds
as much as twenty or twenty-five
wagon loads, and today one Of the
ordinary moving pictures of an
American railroad is a sixty car
train travelling eastward with
enough wheat in its rolling bins to
give bread to a city of 10000
people for a year.
The Siberian railway, which is
the longest straight line of steel in
the world, was built larely as a
wheat conveyor. SO were the rail
ways of western Canada, Argentina
