Hinder the head Of Nevada some
Of the sleeping car tourists write as
follows:
An aching. binding, barren, endless
plain;
Cerpse-colored with white mold ofal.
kai;
Hairy with sasebrush, shiny after rain;
Rurnt with the sky's hot scorn, ana
still again
sul!enly burning back again the SKY.
Dull green, dull brown. dull purple
anddull gray;
The dull earth white with ages Of de
spair:
Slow-craw.inc, tuFbId streams where |
dead reeds SWAY;
Low wall OF som Der mountains Tar |
away,
And siekly steam Ct geysers in the
air.
But after all it is our own fault
that we are looked upon IN the East
as the waste dump of creation.
There is not Territory or State
West Of the Rocky Mountains that
is not being doomed by some real
estate or land association. Pam
phlets by the millions are circulated
throughout the Coast. The artist,
engraver and painter are ever at
work making the resources ct other
States familiar to the eyes Of East
ern people seeking investments,
but when they come to enquire
about Nevada they are shown some
such stupid lying as the above, and
they steer clear Of US.
We are like the old farmer 3
daughter. He had seven and al
vays said that the best girl of the
lot never dressed up or tried to at
tract attention. The man who
married her took her because she
was the only one left and he found
that he was the luckiest Of the
crowd. 1t begins to look as if nc
body would ever settle in Nevada
as long as there was any left else
where. The fact Of matter Is tina,
our gray and barren plains OF sage
brush is tie best land that the sur
ever shone on aud the climate i
better than any in the Union. w
have no Nebraska grasshoppers, NJ
New Jersey mosquitoes, no llllnoi
cyclones, no Missouri ague, no Kan
sas ternados, nc Texas drouths, n
New York sun strokes, no Vernon
and Wisconsin freeze ups, no Colo
RADIO billiards., no South Carolln
earthquakes, no Georgia floods ant
no California malaria. But "
have some other things, however
We have a Comstock ledge whlc
has been disgerging millions Q
bullion for years and still keeps
M. and every county in the Stat
has a ledge which is the heir appal
ent to the bullion throne when To
old ledge passes away. we nav
green stretches of timothy and re
TOP grass that the owners OF crac
New York trotters send clear acros
the continent for, to give the
horses the staying qualities nece
sary to win big races.
We raise wheat that takes II
first premium at the Worlds fai
aud potatoes that New Orlea'
hotel keepers send for regardless
expense to satisfy the clamors
their guests, Our beef cemman'
a cent a pound higher than Texa
Colorado or California beef. y
fruit can be shipped to New 70
reaching its destination clear al
sound, when California fruit is r.
ten to the core with the same Jol
ney.
We have vast deposits OF sa
borax and lime. We have endle
lodges of gold, silver, lead and C
per. We haye mountains OF tint
square miles of meadow land ane
million acres Of arabic land and
luyial soil that can be made ;
other Eden with bitches aud ar
sian wells. The only thing We ne
now is some way of advertising
advantages to the world, and 3
ting 5000 new settlers here.
the State does not take a hand
