Especial Correspondence

INLAY, Nevada, March 10.-Con-
siderable comment has been caused
and some indignation aroused by the
contents of letter in circulation
among the tenants of the Southern
Pacific cottages, from b. A. Campbell.
superintendent. The letter follows.
addressed to the agents at Nina,
Inlay and Montello:
/ have yours of May 20, concernr-
ing rumors afioat relative to tenants
OF our cottages keeping chickens.
l have said nothing that would in
dicate | cared to prevent our ten
snts in company cottages at Nina.
INLAY or Montello from keeping
chickens If they so cared, but have
stated that we must do away with
the plan of building unsightly old
tie-houses against our coal houses and
fences in communication with such
cottages. In other words, we must
not add to or take from the standard
of supplying the out buildings and
fences and keep them in tidy and
presentable shape at all times.
Further, would be glad for you to
pleasantly call attention to our ten
ants that the old, unsightly tie
houses must be done away with as
well as those built up against our
coal houses, but if they care to build
little chicken coop. which is slightly,
without connecting it up with the
fence or coal house. | certainly have
no objections. In this connection,
beg TO advise that ] figure on another
spring for planting five or six nice
fruit trees In the rear of each cot
tage and also possibly few shrubs
of currant and gooseberry bushes. not
only for the green shade and pretty
appearance of the premises, but they
will be available to the tenants, If
well cared for.
Kindly make this canvass referred
to about tie-houses. etc, in the rear
of the cottages, explaining pleasantly
that | have in mind making il as com
Portable as possible and at the same
time must insist upon the premises
being kept tidy and slightly.
b. A. CAMPBELL.
The Inlay tenants appreciate Mr..
Campbelrs solicitude for their COM
fort and will gladly care for any trees
or shrubs planted. at the expense OF
furnishing hose, as they have done in
the past. but the idea of tearing down
their chicken houses seems very in
consistent. inasniach as these houses
were put up with a view to econo
miZing and sheltering chickens, in
stead of the sjghtliness or architectu-
raj beauty Each owner of a tie
chicken house has. within the last few
days. looked al his neghbor's and
compared IL with his own, and won
dered which might be spared. About
one-fifth of the tenants lived in INLAY
more than seven years with no coal
houses, except the ones they could
build themselves. with as little ex-
pense as possible. and they have al
ways had to provide their own walks
in the rear and in front of the cot
fages, while only year ago screens
were furnished for the doors and
windows by the company. a division
of which Mr.. Campbell represents.
With prevailing high prices of lunl-
Der ii Is rather question whether il
is good judgment to tear down per
fectly good chicken house. made OF
ties. and be put to the expense of
putting up another one for the sake
keeping up appearances. Such is the
verdict of the Inlay tenants
