The "IIigiland wilds."
Written for the , olumbus Camera Club.

All through the tangled thcket lair.
Where Paint Greek waters rapid flow,
We comrades, blithe aud debonair,
Tramped bravely several moons ago.
The morns were clear-before the sight
Far spread leafv gif0icd zone
OF forest giants in the light
OF dawn upon her purple throne
We searched the caves, in gorge- hidden
The secrets dread OF wood and old,
And "flsshed tie light Oh things for
bidden
And weird enchantments yet uutold.
The caverned depths give up thcir gloom,
To distant hooks the shadows ay,
The camera types The crystal room
In splendor to the curious eye.
The far off clouds in August days,
Were banked in many dome and
spire,
The red-orbed sun in parching rays
Sbone on the cliffs with eye Of fire.
When moons were still and skies were
warm
And soft the mountain zephyrs blew,
While nature showed us every charm,
From camera plates the pictures grew.
From Highland Wild the Club have
gone,
Their August tryst was not in vain,
1t fingers in remembered tone
Where beauty tints the Hill and plain.
The Club still tramps the Highland vslcs,
Still catch the types of earth and sky,
Still tell again the old, old tales
Born of tryst that can not die.
Still walks the Club DER grassy lea
While summers come and summers so
And the tryst Of the Eight will ever be
A dream where the rapid waters tiow.
No spot forgotten--nor the tine
BY cleaning sun--or moon Light pale
They wandered in the August prime
BY Paint Creeks hill and dale.

with Europeans.

with Europeans.
In the early centuries of Islam,
almost until tho extinction of the Sara
senic empire in the east, says the
Nineteenth Century, women continued
to occupy as exalted position as in
modern society. Zobeida, the wife of
Horun, plays conspicuous part In the
history of the age, and, by her virtues,
as we'll as by her accomplishments,
leaves an honored name to posterity.
Humieda, the wife CT Frank, Medenite
citizen, left for many years the solo
guardian of her minor son, educatcs
him to become one of the most distin-
guished juris-consuls of the day.
Sukinnh or Snlina, the daughter OF
Russian and the granddaughter of Ali,
was the most brilliant, most accom-
plished, and most virtuous woman of
her time--"la dame des danes d, son
temps, Ia. plus belle, Ia plus gracieusc,
la plus brilliante dc qualities" +" as Pcrroa
calls her. Herself no moan scholar,
she priced the converse of learned and
pions people. Buran, the wife Of the
Caliph Nahum; Ummul-Tazi, Mamun's
sister, married to the eighth imam of
the house of Ali; Umm-i- Habil, Mamuns
daughter, were all famous for their
scholarship.
In the fifth century of the Hegira, the
Sheilzha Shuhda, designated Fal1hrun-
nissa (''the glory Of women"), lectured
publicly at the Musjid-i-Jama OF Bag
dad to large audience on literature,
rhetoric and poetry, says writer in
the Nineteenth Century. She occupies
In the annals Of Islam position Of
equality with the most distinguished
ulemas. What would have befallen
this lady had she hourished among the
Acknowledgements Of st. Cyril can be
judged by the fate of Hypatia Possi-
bly, she would have been torn TO pieces

INTO Dzemma, 'the lion heart" the
heroine of many battles, fought side by
side with tho bravest knights.
1t Is calumny, therefore, to say that
the 1slamic system has lowered the
status of women. The teacher who, in
an age when no country, no system, no
community gave any right to women,
maiden or married, mother or wife
who, In o country where the birth of q
daughter was considered a calamity,
secured to tho sex rights which are only
unwillingly and under pressure being
conceded to them by the civilized no.

serve the gratitude of humanity. If
Mohamined had done nothing more his
claim TO be q benefactor of mankind
would have been indisputable. Even
under the laws as they stand ut present
in the pages Of the legists the legal po-
sition OF Moslem females may be said
to compare favorably with that Of Euro
! pean women.

we'll was sunk 295 feet before water was
found. The old town of Wadsworth,
named after General Wadsworth, was
given birth by the Central Pacific Rail-
road Company in 1868, but Drytown
continued to exist and do an immense
freighting business with Downieville,
Benton, lone, Silver Peak, Bishops
Greek and Gold Mountain until 1880, At
which time the Carson and Colorad Rail-
road captured the freighting and Dry
town naturally dried up and blew into
Wadsworth. A ferry-boat crossed the
river above before the railroad bridge
was built, and another q few miles fur
Their up. To the east of Wadsworth is
the Great Desert and there is no water
until Humboldt, 100 miles distant, is
reached. Owing to this fact the Central
Pacific Company concluded to establish
a station on the river where they could
obtain water, and Wadsworth is that
station. In the old town across the river
the company established the headquart-
ers of the Truckee Division, built. car and
machine shops and q round house.
Churchill county found Wadsworth "a
base of supplies, business men came
from other localities, buildings were con-
structed and a town burst upon the
vision. Then followed a two years con
test between Lyon and Washoe counties
for the possession of Wadsworth. The
struggle was due to the uncertainty Of a
boundary line, defined as running along
the old emigrant road. The people of
Lyon county found a road which they
supposed and claimed to be the ''old
emigrant road," and said boundary.
Had this claim been allowed it woulG
have lett Wadsworth in Lyon county.
Washoe county had always exercised
Jurisdiction over the town, and when
the Lyon county officials attempted to
assess the property and collect taxes,
the matter was taken into the Courts.
The case was tried twice in Ormsby
county without arriving at q decision.

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER, 2l, 1892

In presenting the first issue of tho
Wadsworth DISPATCH we ask your
leniency, as we feel as does the engin-
eer who takes the new engine out for a
trial trip; that there are bearings that
are rough but will become smoother by
work, that we must first learn the road
before we can give the best service
that with a good rail and good support
we can improve and make a success.
We know That you do not expect as
mach from us rs you do from the
metropoliion journal, therefore, there
will be no disapppointments on that
score. 1t will be our policy to steer
clear of petty spites and mean person
alities. From what we have seen of
our field, we feel that our lines have
been cast in pleasant places. We
recognize hat the people of Wads.
worth are capable of approaching
earnest endeavor and we trust that
altogether the future will be as bright
as the past. We have no reason to
think that it will be otherwise, and
with hearty support and good will we
should succeed. Our best efforts shall
be to do that which is right, to labor
for the good of the community and the
betterment of the district whenever
possible. We hope that as the days
go by we shall know each other better
and it shall he our aim to merit the
support given us.
The Wadsworth dispatch. [volume] (Wadsworth, Nev.) 1892-1899, 1892-09-21

1t is with pride that we can say that
nearly every business house of Wads-
worth is we'll represented in the frs,

the enterprising and liberal disposition
of its inhabitants.
