W. P. TO RESUME
TRAFFIC april |

Although general officials Of the
Western Pacific are quoted by the San
Francisco papers as saying that traffic
On the line in Nevada will be resumed
next week, local conditions do not bear
the statement out.
Although the line is open from Win
nemucca to San Francisco, there il
still vast amount of work to be done
between here and Elko. 1t is probable
that the road between Beowawe and
Elko will not be fully repaired for .
matter of two months, although ar
rangements have been made to detour
trains between the two points over the
Southern Pacific. However, there is
still two weeks hard work between
here and Beowawe, SO it is probable
that through traffic will not be com.
menced before the first Of April.
This morning force of 200 Greeks
arrived, who were at once put to work
repairing the damage wrought by the
recent flood. The force of carpenters
who were temporarily taken from their
work have been returned to the freight
depot, and work on this building will
be pushed to an early completion. At
present it is not definitely known here
when work will be commenced ON the
new passenger station. Although it 10
reported that through passenger
trains will be running by the 18th OF
June, it will not be absolutely neces-
sary to have the new depot completed
by that time, as the temporary quarters
now in use can be utilized for a while.

ONE CAUSE FOR
HIGH LIVING COST

Many years ago, when all Irishmen
were Democrats, one wrote home to
friends in glowing terms Of admira.
tion for the liberty and equality that
prevailed in this country. To forciblv
express himself he said: "In the
United States one man is as good an
another and id sight better.o This
idea has been growing for forty years,
gathering force with the increasing
prosperity, and is responsible very
largely for present high prices and
strikes. False pride and emulation of
the ricn in the style Of living by the
poor is responsible for more misery,
crime and divorce suits, also local and
national disturbances, than ANYTHING
else.
While the women musst bear very
large share of the blame, the men are

money, with no increasing effort,
brought more power and influence and
naturally suggested more extravagant
mode OF living. Moving up in society
is expensive. 1t carries with it un.
bending pride that once up refuses to
come down again, until absolutely fore.

SUBSTANTIAL ADDITION TO
PUBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARY

During the week the public school
received its annual addition to the
library consisting of $50 volumes, en-
bracing works of fiction, reference,
poetry and literature. Added to the
600 volumes on hand, the school now has
a fairly complete library. The state
appropriation for the purpose this
year amounted to $3.50, to which
amuont the county commissioners add
ed $50. Although the volumes men
toned cost considerable more than was
available, Professor Griffin and his
corps of teachers will devise ways and
means to make up the deficiency.

prince OF LIARS"
AT NIXON TONIGHT

The "Prince of Liars will be
given at the Nixon opera house this ev
ening by Lovelock talent
The play was given at Lovelock on
Friday evening, March IL, and the
Tribune contains the following account
of the event:
The play was well spoken of by all
who attended, and the various actors
earned wellmerited applause. Mrs.
A. jain, who represented the leading
female character, Rosie, the Gutta
Percha girl, again demonstrated her
rare histrionic ability. r. A. Nc
Guire' IS witticisms were well placed
and his actions and expressions were
well performed To Mr. Mcclure also
belongs the credit of staging the play,
and to him more than any other one
person belongs the credit, not only for
night, but also the fact that Loevlock
has a baseball grand stand free of all
Indebtedness.
Mrs. w. r. Fits, as Mrs. Gillibrand,
gave remarkably good representations
of a mother-in-law, such as is depict
ed in funny stories and comic sec
tiOuod ROluR,
never gone sort, and many a sally of
laughter followed her work through
this difficult role. VIM. V. Lane, as
Joshua, pampered son, of the never
toll class, scored his first hit before
the local footlights. Mr.. Lane makes
a good comedy man, and it is hoped
that he will be seen again in SINH
lar role. Professor Payne, as Dobson,
the butler, was made up in excellent
style and gave a very creditable rep
resentation of what a faithful English
butler was like. Miss Beulah Wilson
as Barbara, the maid, was a good
second to Professor Payne, and her
fainting in the climax of the second
act, where she suspicioned her "Dob-
SON. had been false to her was very
realistic.
Especial mention should be made of
Miss Grace Collins in the character OF
Daisy Maitland Her natural vivaeity
of manner was well suited to this role,
and the demure and sweet little niece
from abroad proved a pleasing contrast
to Rosie. the frolicsome circus girl.
J. Scot Case carried the part of
Ralph Omerod, in love with Daisy, in a
manner indicating careful study OF
the character.
A. l.. Bachrodt was general man
ager of the show, with the assistance
of w l. Penny and to these two gen
tlemen belongs much credit for the
successful advertising of the play.

BRIDGE OPENED TO
TRAFFIC YESTERDAY

Yesterday afternoon, for the first
time in nearly two weeks, teams were
able to cross the bridge over the Hum.
boldt river at this point. The flood
cut three different channels through the
approaches, two on the east and one
on the west side, over which temper
ary bridges have been constructed.
After the waters have fallen to their
normal condition. it is possible that
additional improvements may be made,
but it is the intention OF Commissioner
McDeid to expend as little money as
possible on the structure, owing to the
fact that the new bridge will be finish
ed some time during the fall.

oil generating strata is generally a

sandstone and limestone. especially if
