do because we lack the exuberance of self
trustful courage. And so we are led on to
what the Enterprise Of yesterday has to say
upon the subject of Reno's locality and pros
perousness. Says that paper:
A gentleman residing in this city, who re-
Gently visited Reno, speaks i'll glowing terms
of the future prospects of that town. He is
of the opinion that it is destined to become
one of the most prosperous places III the State.
Located on the main artery of the greatest
railway system in the Unified States and sur
rounded by a rich agricultural district, through
which courses the beautiful Truckee, with its
banks lined with beautiful residences it is |
indeed a town of magnificent possibilities Its |
people are infused with spirit of enterprise |
scarcely surpassed by the delivers on the Com
stock AS showing the extent of the appre
citation of agricultural lands within the district |
named, within the past year. we may mention |
that few days since lady owning farm of |
eighty acres i'll the vicinity of the race track,

same We are pleased to note the prosperity
of our sister town Of the plain, and hope it
NAV continue to extend its borders until it |
attains the proportions of a fair city, which ii |
is destined to become at no distant day.
Now we (of the editorial inlpersonality) are
quite free to own that we do not like Reno.
There is an o ersmart, railroads.&c., hurry
scurry air about the place, and paucity of
comforts which fail to commend it to any
tastes of our own. We are almost tempted
to confess that we have had the kind of dis
like for it that We have for an upstart but
there is an energy and public spirit about its
people sadly wanting i'll Carson. Our little
city is the older Comstock suburb of the two;
and somehow there has always been a feeling
of rivalry between the places-here as if Reno
was an ilnpudent new conner; there as if Car
son were stingy and prudish old maid. If
the truth is to be stated, Reno is mpudent;
but also its citizens are enterprising and alive {
to the things and interests which invite pros
perity. Carson has herself to blame for
good deal of the deafness of things here. {
Possibly we have had too much help in
the way of State benefits and capital
towns are VIGOROUSLY dependent What
we need is the spirit of enterprise Our
natural advantages are very superior The
place is pleasantly situated, there is more that :
ishome-hke here than in any othertown of this $
State, and people of the better class would I
prefer living here. Here, also, of all places
the natural point for holding Annual =
State Fair. 4 lazy man cannot accomplish t
what alert, stirring one can bring about. W
The price we pay for our superior style and u
tone is dullness an1 inertia We are too
dignifed to do the necessary rustling; and we 81
are too cautious to make the needed invest ii
ments. So Reno boasts of sharp prosperity,
and our go-ahead young friend Powning does h
the steam Whistling for it. Cannot we get 81
our heads together. and do something which r
shall make our Park point of attraction for OF
the owners of fat swine and fast going horses III
We are glad that the Catholic Sisters are
gong TO help our little city to secure its
anchorage In due course of time the
college buildings planned for the old
ace course grounds will be con Ga
,tructed The building will make work for IN
some needy laborers or idle-handed mechan- 6s
cs: and we whose Professionalism callses lis to tn
urn away from all devices and plans Of the
Romanists will not be averse to reaping the G
BENEFITS Of the considerable accession to the G.
Of the city. Indeed, we are not ar
sure that there would be any serious objec- 81
ions if the Mormons were to build great e'
emple here; and 50 tolerant are we become
