BACK FROM CHICAGO.
The Way Things Looked to Robert
Horton.

trOiler, has returned from the Chic
ago Fair, and in conversation with
an APPEAL reporter yesterday, said:
"On the way to Chicago we made
short stop at Salt Lake, and visited
the Mormon tabernacle. OF course
everybody knows about that. While
our guide was telling us about a
statue of one of the Mormon saints.
a lady in our party innocently asked:
WAS he an italian or a DagoF
The disguised guide called for his
time right there.
II won't attempt to describe the
magnificence, granduer and beauty
of the FAIR buildings; as l don't feel
equal to it, even from pictures it is
impossible to get an adequate con-
ception of the immensely of the arch
itecture. Some of them are almost
as high as Chicago prices.
1.-The first restaurant | struck
wanted 1926 for a porterhouse
steak | didn't eat there, but went
further down the street and secured
slaughterhouse steak for a dollar.
A cup of tea costs % cents.
''Oh yes, l visited the Midway,
and saw the dancing girls, who have
received SO much free advertising.
They go through some evolutions
that are suggestive to say the least;
it seems to suggest to a good many
people that they should come again;
at least that's the way it struck me.
However the entire Midway will be
at the Midwinter Fair, and will
doubtless attract big crowd from
Nevada.
Nevada Day was not fizzle, but
was all it was intended to be-mere-
ly reception to visiting Nevadans
by Commissioner Yerington, who
opened WINE for friends of the Sill
yer State, Mr.. Yerington is now
taking steps to have Nevada State
Day, with speeches by Stewart and
Newlands, and music by the Iowa
State Band, which has volunteered
its services as a favor to our young
and energetic Commissioner who, by
the way, is the best liked of all the
State Commissioners at the Fair,
and there is nothing he cannot get in
the way of favors and concessions for
the mere asking"
''Nevadans don't really know
what Mr.. Yerington has done for the
State; he has been tireless in his eff
forts, and spent his own money like
water. If he is not reimbursed by
the Legislature, it will be the great
est exhibition of ingratitude on the
part of State, anybody ever wit
messed.
''Of course | took ride in the
Ferris wheel. 1t is about 100 feet
higher than the flag pole on the Cap
itol dome. A good many people are
timid about taking the trip and some
absolutely refuse. But if you kept
your eyes shut you could make the
trip dozen times and not know it,
everything works so smoothly and
noiselsssly.
"Change sharps are thick, and one
must be careful in making change.
l received three cent piece instead
cf dime, which l took as an indica-
ton that the silver sentiment was
growing in the East.
Another thing that strikes with
wonder is the area covered by the
White City, | made an appoint
ment with IA person, in front
of the Administration Building, but
after making inquiries of several
guards, / was unable to locate her
or him, | should say.
81 think the Midwinter Fair will
be superior to the Chicago Fair in
one respect at least. The Chicago
Fair is so internally large, that 1t is
simply impossible TO see even half of
it, while the Midwinler will ccnfne
Itself to reasonable limits and en-
body all the intensely interesting
features of the Worlds Fair
Chow are the lodgings! Well
that depends; good beds come high,
These flash hotels that send circulars
all over the country advertising
rooms for a dollar day, are nothing
less than bedbug hntcheries, with no
Accommodations whatever, the beds
merely consisting of straw mattress,
a pillow about the size of boxing
