Inherited blood diseases are mucl

NEVADA'S BIRTHDAY

Next Saturday, October 80, Will
be the til irtv-third anniversary Of
Nevada's admission into the sister,
hood of States. \ third Of a century
has passed sinre that d te and vet
we are not happy.
Virginia Cit, was about the ONLY
town OF any tote III the State at that
time, with Carson in the straw trying
to give birth to a city of magnificent
proportions Now Virginia CITY,
once the pride Of every resident of the
State, and the place that has made
more m~illionaires than any other
town of its size in the country, is
sliding down old Mount Davidson,
like a boy On Grimes cellar door.
Figuratively speaking. it is nearly at
the foot of the hill, and unless some
thing in the way of new mining de-
velopments are made she will drop
out of sight. for Storey County has
nothing but her mines wortt having.
In the meantime Reno has been
born and placed on the map, and
while our people have not always
put their best foot forward (that is we
don't think they have), the town has
steadily advanced in Importance I'M
til now it is one of the fairest in the
State. On the theory that you can
keep a good nan down, applied to a
town with such magnificent advanta-
ges as Reno has, is the only way we
can account for her growth.
Reno is the home ola many moss
backs perhaps, as any to WI on the
coast, men, too, who would not be
prosperous themselves. or allow any
one else to Be # in their power to pre-
vent it; yet the pretty little village
on the banks Of the Truckee has car
ried her load and is pretty we'll IN the
swim. Her business men have not
made the best use OF their .possiblli-
ties, however. Pero should have
been, long years ago, the end of the
railroad division, had the shops now
located at Wadsworth and Truckee,
and been a town Of 20 .oooo people in
stead of less than 5000. 1t is no use
to recite the facts that have kept them
away, for there are too mahy living
to-day who know them. But let the
more progressive of the community
"snow EN- under,' and before the
sun rises in 1900 we will have a town
of more than 20, 900 people.
In the meantime, Douglas, Elko,
Humboldt, Lincoln and Churchill
counties have been forging ahead,
slow to be sure, but a steady gain in
wealth has been their lot. White
Pine has been asleep since the ex-
citement there years ago, but is
waking up, and before New Years
Day. 80, we expect great things of
her.
Let people sit down next Saturday
and think yer events that have tram
spired in the past thirty-three years,
and try to find the solution of the
problem of why we have not kept
pace with other States. We don't
think they will have to think very
long nor very to do it.-Reno Ga

The recent Legislature added
about $50 pensioners to the list of
the dependent ex- Confederates who
are aided by the State, but like a
number of the other bungling acts
OF that body, it is imperative be-
cause of defects. The fault with
. this act is that Lieutenant Gov.
ernor Reynolds failed to- sign #
and 1t cannot be enforced. Col
Julian S. Carr, of Durham. him
self q Confederate veteran and one
OF our foremost philanthropists.
has become interested in these
worthy pensioners who failed TO
get the money to which thew are
tfetly entitled, and has written TO
the State Treasurer to ascertain
the amount of money they would
nave received had the act not
failed. The amount is between
1900 and $4,000 and it is not
improbable that Col. Carr will ad-
vance the money to help the needy
pensioners now and look to the
next Legislature to reimburse
him. 1t would not be att all
strange if Col. Carr should give
them that amount outright if the
State should fail in Its duty to-
them. :.
