CALIFORNIA TRIES TO HOG
EVERYTHING.
The Wonderful Work Of Nevada
Inventor.

which L attempted to discover the
California exhibit. Christopher
Columbus may have been able to
put his foot on the soil of Americs
and its tributaries, but he took par
ticular pains to be extinct when
called upon to find the California
display.
/ am glad the Examiner took the
trouble to expose the laziness of the
California attendants.
1t is whispered very loud that Jim
Yerington has been offered fat
figure to take charge of the Califor-
MIA department and get it started in
good running order like Nevada
exhibit. He refused on the ground
that he had to eat fruit when he was
working and that California had
nothing decent on hand.
AS usual the Golden State is
claiming everything in sight.
heard a Californian say to an East
erner the other day.
"Some of the most celebrated peo-
pie in the world were born and
raised in California Now you take
Emma Nevada, she is a California
girl.
&C. w. G.. Ferris who designed
and is now experimenting the builds
ing of the Ferris wheel is a Callfor-
MIA boy. Albert Saxon the cadet
who thumped the bully Of West
Point, is California boy, and |
could go on all day naming people
who first got onto themselves in Cali
fornia.
The individual whom he was talk
ing to happened to be pretty we'll
acquainted with Nevada and ven
tured to remark that his informant
was off his base; that Emma Nevada
was born in Nevada, Albert Saxon
was from Carson the Capitol, and
that G. w. G. Ferris is a Nevada
boy and his sister Mrs. Alex Ardery
is now living in Carson.
Why" said the coarse, vulgar
fastener who dared tell the Califor>
MAN that something rare had come
from Nevada, and that the sun had
to pass over it to get into California.
seYou fellows will be telling me that
Nevada silver didn't build the best
part of San Francisco pretty quick
and that Virginia City is in Tulare
county. Nevada saved the United
States from frightful money panic
in 1868 and in 1898 California dis
covered that she did it. If Nevada
can get free coinage it will save an
onther panic in America which is
just at present getting ready to drop
on u.s.
In order that the people Of Carson
may get an idea of the magnificent
piece of work young Ferris is now
engineering. l have visited it sew
eral times. 1t is still incomplete but
the work is going rapidly. Promi-
nent club men and engineers who
consider Ferris the equal of Eff'el,
have offered him SO head to ia ke
the initial ride. Already every seat
is engaged.
1t is regarded as the greatest en-
gineering triumph and novelty of
modern times. 1t will be one of the
features at the Worlds Fair, and four
hundred men are now working night
and day. A technical description Of
this great evolution of en- nssrir =
skill would fill columns, and yet be
unintelligible to the average mind.
Anybody, however, can imsgine a
monster wheel, somewhat resembling
huge bicycle wheel, revolving be-
tween two towers, this wheel being
264 feet in height, and around it,
suspended between the two crowns /
by great steel trunnion pins, 36 pas
sengers coaches, each as large as the |
ordinary Pullman Palace car, built
just as substantially, and upholstered
Just as luxuriously. Each of these
coaches will have a seating capacity
Of sixty persons each. Then imagine
this wheel, with its living freight to
a total of 2160 souls, slowly revolv-
ing. Imagine the sensation of being
carried mp 250 feet on one side, and
of being slowly lowered on the other
side, and of gaining during the trip a
view of the Worlds Fair
grounds, a bird's-ey e-view of the
whole of Chicago, and Of a goodly
