Fifty-two years ago the Pathfinder
spent the Fourth of July at the Lower
Crossing of the Truckee river and said
he had never looked upon fairer sight
than the beautiful stream winding its
devious way through the defles OF the
hills. Lower Crossing was some years
afterward rechristened Wadsworth and
many who have visited that village in
recent years concur with General FIRE.
mont To hear the people of Wadsworth
talk of their town one would incline to
the belief that the universe holds no
more picturesque spot than their place
of residence. With the limpid waters
of the Truckee flowing past their doors
the little brown hills rearing their sum-
mits to the clear blue sky, the beloved
sagebrush even becomes more beautiful
than the rose and the sand surpasses the
most modern pavements. To eyes that
look with love all things are beautiful
and the true Nevadans of Wadsworth.
would not exchange their finest climate
in the world and their continued enjoy
ment Of that greatest blessing, good
health, for the riches of swampy, sultry
capitals or befogged metropolises.
The good people of Wadsworth have
been giving their undivided attention
lately to making arrangements for
grand celebration on the nations natal.
For the thirty-odd years the town has
been esta blished, its citizens have been
spending this day of of all days" with
the people of neighboring towns, very
large majority of them with us. Now
they have decided to play host for once,
and have extended a hearty invitation
to us to become their guests. The good
people of Wadsworth have had guests
before, and those who have enjoyed
Wadsworth hospitality are lavish in
praise of it. AS the coming celebration
is to be supreme effort we can but an
ticipate. The entertainment program is
varied enough to suit all tastes and all
eyes. On the evening OF July 3rd the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen will
give the grandest ball ever given in the
State.
They are now engaged in the construc-
ton of summer pavilion especially for
the purpose in beautiful grove on the
banks of the Truckee. The site is
wild and pictureques spot, and the sound
of falling waters will be added to the
music of the orchestra. The pavilion
will be decorated as only railroad men
can decorate, and the work will doubt
less be unique and artistic.
Every hour of the day OF the Fourth
will be given up to amusement and
sport, from literary exercises to game
of Piute foot ball from 100-yard dash
to trial of speed between the kings OF
the Nevada turf; from the singing OF
national hymns to a procession OF hor-
ribles from the grave to the gay, and
from the sublime to the ridiculous.
The feeling in Reno has been, and is,
that we should accept the invitation so
heartily extended by our neighbors, and
move in a body to that beautiful, grow
ing riverside town on the Fourth OF July.
The Plaindealer believes that all who
go will spend pleasant and profitable
day, and further cement the bond OF
friendship between the sister towns.
Personally We nave very high regard
