W|NDSTORN DAMAGES
LAS VEGAS

Friday. the 10th day Of Nov
ember. will be long remembered
by Vegas people as the worst
ever" in the matter of wind and
dust. During the Gay it was bad
enough, but as evening came on
the wind quickened to a gale laden
with dust.
The Overland hotel, just being
completed, was apparently the
center of a wind eddy which
lifted section of roof 40 feet
square from the building and
sailed it gently to rest in the rear
of the building about $50 feet
from where il belonged. This is
the largest damage suffered from
the storm. amounting to perhaps
Sl25. Slight damage was done
the roof of the new company
apartment house, which the con-
tractor, Mr.. Crawford, estimates
at ab1a, $50. Several signs we've
ruined and a few ont buildings
damaged. At the City la kerry the
board roof of the open portion
connecting the store With the
bakery was blown off.
Not so fort unate, however, was
the mot of the great west. Cali
fornia, Oregon, Washington and
the other states of the northwest
suffered severe damage by the
winds, followed by very cold
weather. Farther east, beyond the
Rockies, people are suffering a
very severe blizzard, with the
thermometer 80 below zero.-Las

{. &P. RAILROAD

Under date of November 18th.
the Palisade correspondent of the
Eureka Sentinel writes as follows
regarding the progress in re-
building the Eureka & Palisade
railroad:

been laid, the preparations for
carrying On the grading, laying the
iron, putting in bridges and
culvcrts, and arranging for the
care Of their crews of men, mul es
and horses that will be engaged on
the work, is progressing most
satisfactorily.
During the week considerable
equipment in the Wy of mules,
wagons and scrapers has been
received here by the contractors.
Two camps for the grading
outfits have been established, one
in Palisadc and the other at what
is known as the Stump Ranch,
about three and half miles from

About so men are now employed
here by the contractors.
Nearly one and one-balf miles
of track has been laid, and the

from the mouth of the canyon
where the roadway was so badly
washed out and where the first of

The contractors will use the f.
Il Ps pile driver. This cumbcr-
some piece Iof machinery was on
the south side Of the Humboldt
river when the f. & =. bridge
went out, and as some repairs to
it were necessary before it could
do effective work il was rushed
across the river to the shops as
soon as the new bridge was com.
plcted. fhe work Of repairing the
pile driver has just been finished
and the driving of piles for the
bridge across Pine Creek will now
be commenced.
1t is understood that fuel oil

that preparations are being made
for changing two Of the engines
into oil burners at once.
