The Delaware ledger. (Newark, Del.) 1879-19??, 1885-09-19

EDITORS DELAWARE LEDGER.-Reno Is
a live place and bids fair to become quite
a mart, as it is already recognized the
store house of the western part of the
State, and | see nothing to prevent it
from healthy growth in the future.
Futher on northward from the track is
the Truckee River, which runs along by
our side for thirty miles, between here
and Truckee City, and it affords splendid
water power, as it does already give
plenteously to the hundred homes, clear
water to coax vegetation and green grass.
Enterprising men of the place have util-
lied it in turning the wheels of eight, or
nine saw-mills, and also saw many men
employed splitting shakes, which in their
turn make roofs to shelter mankind.

adorns the place, in front and upon all
sides of it, is a gentle sloping lawn, which
still further beautitied by rich colored
flowers; all in all it cannot fail to attract
the strangers attention, and must be
source of pride, to its citizens. In front
is an artificial lake, where at times dur
ing the week, the young ladies attired in
gayly fashioned bathing suits relieved
by bright colors, come forth, tripping
across the lawn from the bathing houses
and plunge into the clear limped water,
or shrek with laughter at some compan-
ions mischieyous prank. They look
like so many mermaids darting through
the water to and fro. 1t is a very pros

makes me dwell so long upon the town,
much longer assure you than the cars
do for meals-is the recollection of that
breakfast 1t haunted me after our en-
ginc had put behind her many miles,
and do what | would, the same longing
would return to me, to taste, or enjoy
again those fish. The morning was cold
and bracing, in getting out of the cars, !

an enormous appetite and one which
would do justice to any meal. When
