The Wadsworth dispatch. [volume] (Wadsworth, Nev.) 1892-1899, 1895-07-17

A bicycle rider took a trip up the
river several days ago and bad occasion
to use ii monkey wrench to make some
slight repairs to his cycle. He stopped
at the door of II farm house and asked
for one. The proprietor, who was an
Italian, replied NO, | NJ gotta da
monka rancha, | gotta da vegetable
rancha; [ raisa ia potato, da cabbagee;
no raisa da monka-tco hard times raisa
da r.onlla. Reno Journal.
The Reno Journal says that about
noon Saturday Il patient named A.. NJ.
Western at the Hospital for Mental Dis
eases while cleaning the Railways in the
third story, found the door leading into
an attendants bathroom open, aud,
whether from curiosity or a notion that
he might escape, is not known, but he
passed into the room and, finding the
window open, climbed out on the gut
ter that leads around the mansard roof
and walked along it some ten or fifteen
feet. Suddenly he seemed to lose his
balance and iell hcadlong to the ground
and was instantly killed.
J. F. Crosby, c. NJ. Wiley, James
Poole, A. Ross and n. A. Hummel en-
joyed a days outing at the Willows
Sunday. The fishing is first-class, the
bathing fine and plenty OF opportunity
offered for rifle practice. The ~pelicans
are rearing their young in countless
numbers on the islands and afford an
interesting sight to visitors. The roads
are fairly good and visitors from Reno
are frequent. The trip was a happy
one with such a jolly crowd and Wads-
worth people who cannot find time to
go to distant pleasure resorts can have
plenty OF fun at the Willows.
The park has two new residents OF the
genus Pelecanus which although of ten
der age at present promise to grow and
flourish and become Interesting pets if
looked after a little bit. When you
think OF it give them something to eat.
They dote ON small fish which they dis
pose OF very readily by gulping them
down at a mouthfui. Raw liver. raw
meat, water soaked bread and etc. are
very acceptable. They are covered with
down and are not hardy enough to
stand any swimming yet. 1t is to be
hoped they will meet with no rough
treatment at the hands of small boys
or the teeth of stray ours. They ans
wer to the names of Corbett and .Fitz-
simmons.
Andy says he heard Dick Fuller so'ilo-
quizing thusfy: l only wish and wish
and wish that l could fish and fish and
fish; I'd like to sit, the l~ivelong day,
upon a bale OF prairie hay, down where
the river sadly walls, and fish for suckers
and for whales. IT'S shameful that Oh
this free soil a man must toll and toll
and toll; and grunt and strive and
groan, and burst his martingale and
moan, grow old and bald before his time,
in following the festive dime. All, life
would be u pleasant dream, if one could
sit beside a stream, with rod in hand, at
early dawn, no comrade but his demi-
jonh the latter filled with lemonade)-
to sit there in the drowsy ~shade-wl.at
higher bliss could mortal wish? All, let
us 20 and fish and fish.
1t is probable that no other State can
offer land as cheap as it might be offer
ed by Nevada, ii there were sufficient
interest to develop irrigation works in
the most favorable localities, says the
Irrigation Age. This is an advantage OF
the highest importance, for there are
vast numbers of people who desire land
but cannot obtain it upon the terms on
which it is generally offered. There ia
a sturdy minority in Nevada who APP
p%reciate these facts, and it happens very
fortunately that of them sits in the
Governors chair. He has some strong
sympathiZers among the wealthy mel
of the State, and some good hackers in
the editorial fraternity. 1t would not
be at all strange if there were import.
