New Prism Site

The board of prison commissioners
met Tuesday afternoon and selected the
site for the erection of the new prison.
The place selected is what is known as
the Chas. Schulz ranch, adjoining the
Indian School property, the price being
$4,000 and the seller, the Dangberg
Land and Livestock company.
The ranch consists of 100 acres with
sufficient water right and is in Orms-
by county, with the exception of about
40 acres that lie across the line in Doug
las county. 1t is said that the land in
Douglas county was not included in the
sale but will be decided to the state by
the sellers.
The plans and specifications for the
building to be erected have all been
prepared and have been accepted by
the board and rs soon as the necessary
contracts for the supplies and labor can
be arranged the work of erection will
be commenced.
The V. & T. track running to Minden
passes near the site and it is possible
that spur will be laid to the site of the
new prison. A postoffice is maintained
at the Indian School known as Stewart,
and this will be the address of all mail
matter to the new prison. Carson

River Postmen Employed on the

1t Is probable that London has the
distinction Of being the only port where
ships lying at anchor are privileged to
have their letters delivered to them
by river postmen, it being customary
at other ports for sailors 10 apply per-
sonally for their letters unless the
ship is in dock. The Thames is di.
vided into two postal districts. each
under the control OF a river postman,
who delivers letters and parcels every
morning, in craft which resembles
a Usher boat more than anything else.
Or these districts the first extends
from the custom house to Lime
house, and the second from Limehouse
TO Blackwall. The river postmen start
on their rounds punctually at eight
O'Clock every morning. and, needless
10 say, there is only one delivery a
day. The mail bag may include as
many as 500 letters, but this number
