Some boys disgraced themselves by their conduct at the lecture Friday night. They snapped beans in the back part of the hall creating a dieturbence and annoying those who were anxious to hear. Such conduct is a strong reflection on. their good sense, to say the least. Since the incoming postmaster of Nevada City has been appointed it is reasonable to expect the appointment of the new postmaster for Truckee will be made soon, as Postmaster Bucknam’s term of office is less than two weeks longer than that of the outgoing postmaster of Nevada City. It has been a custom in Truckee for years to have the lock boxes inside e building where they were only accessible at such timés when the building was open Wesee no reason why arrangements could not be made so the lock boxes could be accessible at any time of the day or night as they are in most places where lock boxes are rented. Such an arrangement would more than double the convenience of lock boxes. ' Died at Randsburg.

MoRae, who for a number of years has had charge of the railroad repair shop here, was notified Thursday that he had been promoted to a similar position of greater responsibilities in San Francisco. Some boys disgraced themselves by their conduct at the lecture Friday night. They snapped beans in the back part of the hall creating a dieturbence and annoying those who were anxious to hear.

Since the incoming postmaster of Nevada City has been appointed it is reasonable to expect the appointment of the new postmaster for Truckee will be made soon, as Postmaster Bucknam’s term of office is less than two weeks longer than that of the outgoing postmaster of Nevada City. It has been a custom in Truckee for years to have the lock boxes inside e building where they were only accessible at such timés when the building was open Wesee no reason why arrangements could not be made so the lock boxes could be accessible at any time of the day or night as they are in most places where lock boxes are rented. Such an arrangement would more than double the convenience of lock boxes. ' Died at Randsburg.
