EAST BOUND TRAINS CROWDED.
Cool Weather Has Started Tourists

The cool weather we have been

weather, are taking advantage OF
the change resulting in extra rush in

IDEAS ON ABILENE.

Editor Reflector: am much iu-
terested in the paving and do hope
they will be sure and make the
streets narrow. The wide street IS
not only hot street, but 1t Is much
more expensive to pave, and keep
clean which must always be kept in
mind. With Buckeye % feet in the
clear and with storm sewers as
understand they expect to have, no
finer street could be had and 1t would
take care Of all the traffic that will
be on that street for the next twenty
years at least. The remaining part
of the street outside the side walk
can be parked and grass cultivated
by each property owner, directed by
the city officers at least as to super
| vision and induce uniformity in keep
ing alike and in good condition.
Imagine that street or any other
with uniform curbing, parking, and
with trees lining the street not too
large, neatly trimmed, in umbrella
shape, few lower limbs and neat
bodies to say in time twenty feet,
side walks uniform and the drainage
taken care of as above with storm
sewers, 80 constructed, as to have 1t
drained by gravity especially.
Abilene lie already better drained
as the city long ago completed It,
than any other city anywhere near its
size in Kansas. The future should

include the further purchase Of the
land along the creek and the beauti-
flying of that strip through the city
as much as possible. A large part
of such improvements should be as
sessed against the adjacent property
owners and can be adjudicated by
competent board of assessors chosen
by the city dads" from the disin'
terested property owners and after
this assessment the people so assess
ed could make their claims in the
matter in due form.

THE CARSON DAM PROJECT
Is Next Extension Now On Tap
is, And Signs Point To Its
Early Construction.

DR.. Ed F. Dunbar and wife drove to
the Lower Carson dam site Sunday,
covering distance of 45 miles by team,
before the journey was completed.
The doctor stated that good deal of
work was in evidence around the pro-
posed dam site, where trenches have
been dug and soil tests made by filling
the trenches with water and notiny the
percolation. The Carson dam will very
likely be built soon, reckoned by the
governments method of calculating
time, for the Truckee-Carson project
is in urgent need of the flood waters of
the Carson river, which now flow into
the lower sink to later disappear.
The fact that competent engineer
has been detailed to look into the Car
son dam matter and has come to this
project, apparently as permanent
fixture, would indicate that something
is to be done along this line. The
observations noted by DIR. Dunbar tend
to show that due investigation is being
made, which also portends favorable
action.

High School Entertainment Greatly
Appreciated.

The high school auditorium was
crowded to its fullest capacity last Fri.
day evening, when the scholars of the
high school, under the able direction Of
the teachers, Misses Moon and Haas,
rendered in most amusing manner IA
Singing School of Ye Olden Time. !"
The pupils were all dressed in costumes
characteristic of the olden times when
singing schools were part of the social
life of the country, and their inimitable
acting typified in cleverest style the
early day conditions when do. re, mi,
ETC., were practiced throughout the
long winter evenings.
A number of solos were rendered by
different pupils of the school, bringing
out the fact that number of them are
possesors of good voices.
The entertainment receipts totalled
$36. which netted $23.45 after all exs
penses had been paid. 1t is understood
that the sum will go towards defraying
the graduating expenses of the senior
class.

A Vast Body OF Virgin Agricultural
Land.

In the district east of Fallon begin
ming at point ten or twelve miles dis
tant right up to the waters edge of the
Lower sink lies body of tens of
thousands of acres of marvelously fer
tile land, which is level as floor and
raises prolific crops of grain and alfal-
ia from the first years cultivation.
1t is among the future extensions now
under consideration, and will provide
homes for hundreds of farmers. Ac-
cording to old settlers who know the
section thoroughly, hundred families
could even now live in plenty in the
district. Water can be conducted to
the lands, whose level surface and fer
tile quantities should make it particu-
larly attractive to future homeseekers.

Washoe County Does Business On
Business Principles.

The Washoe County Grand Jury dis
covered during its session last week
that when the Nye and ormsby County
Bank, having branches in Reno, Car
son, Goldheld and other Nevada towns,
failed, County Treasurer Dan Boyd had
in the Reno branch the sum of $500.
The Grand Jury notified the District
Attorney to collect this amount from
Boyd's bondsmen. The District Attor-
ney called the bondsmen to his office,
and they promised to settle without
any suit.
Other counties in the state have been
caught in similar manner and have
all been forced to bring suits. The
bondsmen of Boyd, though, declare that
they will settle without any further
argument. These bondsmen are:
George w. Mapes, George H. Taylor,
C. T. Bender, A. H. Manning, A. M.
Ward, George Turrittin, A. G. Fletcher.
F. NJ. Lee, P. L. Flanagan, Frank
Golden, Alex Dromiack and Richard

Finds Oil On Senator Williams Edwards
Creek Ranch.

George Moesser, of Austin, former
Fallonite, came in last week from
Edwards Creek valley, where he says
an important oil DISCOVERY was recent
ly made on one of the w. w. Williams
ranches. According to Mr.. Moesser, q
fissure in the earth opened and exuded
liquid, which if not kerosene is some
thing very closely allied to it, for it is
highly explosive and burns as readily
as The commercial grade of
Senator Williams refused to believe
the report at first, but George B. vii.
liams came in later and insisted that it
was correct, so the senator, accompan-
led by ]. B. Daniel, of the Wonder
Mining Company will leave shortly
for the sceLe of the discovery and
some definite information will be had
then.

County Assessor Niehtman Predicts
Large Amount Of New Acreage.

County Assessor c. w. Wightman
states that he has completed the work
of assessing the mining districts of the
county. He has also made his peren-
nial call on the farmers residing be-
tween Fallon and Saltwater and those
living south of the south branch of the
Carson river. Mr.. Wightman predicts
falling off in the county's valuation
outside of the railroad property, which
will be assessed for So, 600, 900 this year
a raiseo 81 900, 900 which he figures rep
resepts the decline in the county's min
ing districts.
Mr.. Wightman is finding money vast
ly more plentiful than at the time of
making last years assessment. His
conclusion along the line of finances is
influenced by the fact that all who
were called upon to pay their personal
taxes, responded quite readily, while
last year the 'stand offs" were many
Another gratifying observation made
by Mr.. Wightman in the course of his
official trips, is the great amount of
new work being done. He makes the
prophesy that during the present
season the new acreage will pass the
old in extent.

THE WONDER POWER LINE
Survey Will Be Started This
Week, and Work Will
Soon Start.

The projected Wonder power line will
be surveyed this week, and preliminary
work will be begun, according to Mana
ger j. B. Daniel, who says that mid
summer will see both the power line
and the generating plsnt at the Truckee
chute under course of construction.
The size of the undertaking can be
realized when it is known that the esti-
mated cost of the line is 500, 900.
while the generating plant, capable of
developing 1000 horsepower, will cost
an additional $4,000. The reclamation
officials will cooperate with the power
company in the preliminary work, so it
is claimed.
Even now an electrical expert repre-
senting the government and one repre-
senting the power interests. are in Los
Angeles working out the plans for the
enterprise, and upon the completion of
all details the necessary machinery and
paraphenalia will be ordered The
electrical supply houses have promised
to complete and deliver all necessary
supplies within four months from the
date of ordering, which leads the power
company's management to believe that
by late fall at the outside. the work
will be completed and power conducted
through this valley into the mining
camps of Fairview and Wonder.
Inasmuch as the Nevada Hills con-
solidation is taken to mean a go-ahead
policy. it is believed that deal has al
ready been consummated for the de-
livery of Truckee chute power upon the
completion of the proposed mill, to the
Wingfeld crowd. who have already
promised early work looking towards
the development of the Nevada Hills
and Fairview Eagle properties, now
merged The fact that the Tonopsh
Mining Company and the Nevada Won
der Mining Company are practically
one and the same and the further fact
that the interests named and the Wing
field interests are closely allied in many
respects. would lead one to conclude
that Wingfield knows where he will
get his power for Farview and when.
With power line and electrical
plant and two mammoth quartz mills
promised for the county during the
present season, our advance forward
should be great.

Sells Freishtins Team For Good Figure.

Charley Glade sold his eight-horse
freighting team and two wagons to the
Nevada Wonder Mining Company this
week for consideration of 1890.
Charley left yesterday for his home in
Bishop. California, and expects to re-
turn shortly and drive the team for the
purchasers. 1t is understood that the
team will be used by Manager Daniel
for the distribution of the pipe between
the source of the water supply at
Bench Creek and Wonder, the traction
engines having been deemed success
on the roads between this point and
Wonder.
