a people as class lack even the RI
diments OF business ability" Sue
t was the startling statement mad
by a prominent San Francisco mei
/, chant and man who has made
world wide fame for his keeness o
business insight, to :. Journal re
porter yesterday. "Tbere are too
many inert men in Nevada; tot
many men who cannot see beyond
the ends OF their noses for the COCO
of the State. The man who does
not talk up the section and his owr
town but leaves it all to his Local
paper, and when stranger appears
in the place tells him that business
is dull and that the country is bank
rupt, is a poor citizen to have, in
fact, he is a positive detriment, and
the quicker he is gotten rid of, the
better. 1t is the far sighted enter
prising citizens that Nevada needs
l think at present; those who see
that every honest man who enters
their towns is positive acquisi-
ton in business sense, to say the
least, and
| SHOULD BE INDUCED TO REMAIN.
Even in a stronger way the enter
prising man OF place should and
will make an opening forcapitallsts TO
invest in manufacturing etc. at any
cost, ii he has to go down in the
depths of his pocket to Go it, for he
knows that every dollar that he
then lays out will, in the near fu-
ture, return to him with twenty
fold interest. Especially would
this last be true OF the development
OF the resources of your State. 1t
was far seeing business ability that
created the boom in California, and
every dollar that was invested
there-well Won may Judge for
yourself whether the Investment
paid. Now l am going to state to
you some plain facts. The average
Californian speaks better of Nevada |
than yonr own citizens do, and were |
you, a stranger, to 60 to a San Fran |
cisco merchant representing your
sell from the East and DESTROYS of |
settling down somewhere in the |
West he would seem to take, il ne |
be true business man which / |
think you will find him, personal
in you, ard recommend
You first TO California and then ii
that does not SUIT, Nevada, endeav-
bring by every means at his com
mand to get you to remain IN one OF
the two States.
THE REASON OF THIS
Is obvious, ii you are persuaded to
remain, he has added another con-
sumner to the number in reach OF
ais wares and he has made friend
md customer IN that section winch {
S worth a hundred-fold the little q
rouble that it cost him. Do your '
,wn citizens take as much trouble?
have asked number of Neva-
!ans what they thought OF the fI- I
ure prospects of their State, AMI c
hey invariably shook their heads
nd predicted that the country was ]
doomed, looking so discouraging all v
he while that have often glanced s.
round inadvertently to see if | had f
ot unwlttingly strayed into an I'M a
ertaker's office. Do you know that &
half dozen men like this would 8
uin a paradise as far as populating "
!? l will tell you what would be I
one if Nevada was part OF Cali f
,rnia. We would first make up Il
ur minds that every dollar that a
'as spent in developing its re- s;
ources was well spent if it took a n
billion. We would have our Legis- n
,ture appropriate $4,000 or SO, n
,r experimenting with artesian J.
ellis and if this failed, which there "
no possibility of it doing, we ir
ould try water storage. and every "
ere Of land that was reclaimed b.
Ould be advertised and a boom ST
lised for Nevada. You can do ST
othing until you know what is in re
