The Wadsworth dispatch. [volume] (Wadsworth, Nev.) 1892-1899, 1898-08-17
THE TOWN OF WADSWORTH.
An Industrious and Progressive
Community.

and general content that prevades the
whole community. As has been re-
ported before, Wadsworth always gives
the glad hand to her visitors and, as was
shown on Sunday, the people will ever
overlook the shortcomings of an ordin-
airy newspaper man and accord him a
reception so different from that at home,
that he is at first astonished, then grows
important and finally wants to remain
there. Upon arriving at the depot,
hearty handshakes of a score or more old
friends and acquaintance greet you,
introductions follow and more hand
shaking and the visitor begins to wonder
why he didn't visit Wadsworth before.
Wadsworth is a town OF over 1000
people and aside from the railroad shops
and buildings and the various business
houses on the main street, it is a town
of pretty and substantial cottage homes,
each having its pretty lawn and shade
trees and every appearance OF home COM
fort and happiness. A substantial
school building accommodates over $40
children and the school has been digni-
fled by a high school department. AS
n passes by the many homes, the
frequent sound of piano or other instru-
mental music or a vocal solo being rem
dered in good voice and style strike the
ear, convincing one of the fact that art
and culture are among the advantages
enjoyed by the residents of Wadsworth.
A bevy of pretty women and girls on
a lawn or portico in becoming attitudes
or groupings gaily conversing will now
and then attract the eye even of a super
anuated old fossil and he'll "wish he
were a dude again." The festive bike is
conspicuous and numerous. The streets
Of Wadsworth are clean and well laid
out and the cyclists can be seen dashirg
along singly, in pairs and in merry
groups.
The railroad shops have a substantial
and busy appearance and the various
business houses OF the town are prosper
Gus.
The Short Brothers, agents for Pabst
beer, have a large bottling works and
employ six men. They have a large
trade in the eastern part of the State and
south through Churchill and Lander
counties and as far as Keller, California.
w. d. Linton of the Nevada House, is
an accommodating and genial host and
runs an excellent hotel.
Ike Lothrop keeps a popular resort and
gives everyone a hearty welcome. Ike
is recovering from his Klondike sickness
and beginning to be himself again, but he
had a close call and his appearance
shows it.
Ed Short is a genial host and uni a
good house. He is popular with the
boys and maintains his popularity by
strict attention to business and making
his guests comfortable.
Nick Judge Hummel OF the Dis
PATCH is always in demand. His APP
pointments at his Office are as many in
a day as a Congressman's at the Nation
al Capital and he is forced to limit the
visits of those seeking his advice, to so
many minutes, but he endeavors to give
all an audience. He is enthusiastic over
the town and its progressiveness and
especially SO over the prospects of the
Olinghouse Mining district. Nick pro-
phesies great things for Olinghouse.
There are now 80 white people there and
some 20 Cinnamon, the latter working
at placer mining and all are doing fairly
we'll. A postofice has been established
at the mines and they begin to assume
the dignity of a permanent camp. 1t
was reported that a good strike had been
made in the B~ender-Smith shaft, but no
particulars could be learned.
Bob Pollock, ex-Commissioner Cros-
by, Dol Proctor, j. A. Goldie and a lot
Of the boys are enthusiastic over the
growth of Wadsworth and say she will
soon be a rival OF Reno in Importance.
Wadsworth is a liberal town also, as
can he shown by quoting the following
incident: The Rev. Mr.. Bellam lost his
library, and much OF his furniture, by
the late fire in which his resiuence was
so nearly destroyed. The various lodges
took action first and gave him liberal
donations. Then followed the circula-
ton OF a paper and ,iie cliizens generally
contributed freely un,il nearly three
hundred dollars had hrrn raised to help
the reverend gentleman out in his loss
and the care oi his eUiGhrer, who was
so BADLY burned. Sect autl rrpc' werr
