The Wadsworth dispatch. [volume] (Wadsworth, Nev.) 1892-1899, 1898-09-21
THAT RAILROAD.

ihe run mines present scene oil
activity these days with some sixty men
at work. The surveyors have completed
their labors and application for patents
will be made as soon as the assessment
work has all been done. G. A. Hitch
cock is again at the mines getting things
In shape. The people of Churchill
county in mass meeting assembled have
agreed to devote money or values, time,
energy and other requisites to encourage
the company to build the railroad
through their county and into Wads-
worth, while talk with Wadsworth's
live business men develops the informa-
tion that they will respond to the best
OF their ability. 1t certainly is very en-
couragine to find such unanimity of
feeling prevailing among the Churchill
people in regard to this important mat
ter. 1t was conceded before the ques-
tion came into such prominence that the
great local political issue in Churchill
this campaign would be whether or not
move the county seat. At the mass
meeting referred to above which was at
tended by all representative people
OF Churchill able to attend, it was un-
animously decided and agreed that the
question of moving the county seat be
deferred and that all hands and the
cook work and work hard to get the
railroad. We state these facts to show
the outside world that Churchill has the
rare good sense and sound judgement to
stop pickering and join for the common
good, and we further publish them as a
lesson to the entire people OF Nevada. |
There is great rejoicing in Wadsworth |
over the outlook among all the people |
and the coming of the road will be hailed
with great delight. The DISPATCH is in
possession OF information from reliable
sources to the effect that Churchill |
county and Wadsworth will get this rail-
road under certain conditions and
we are quite sure the people can and
will heartily meet the conditions. The
Lovelock Tribune says "The Wads-
worth DISPATCH with characteristic ener-
gy is already building railroad from
the iron mines into " adsworth." We
would like to build railroads to gridron
Nevada if we could and we are sure the
Tribuneis is doing its share to give Neva-
dams the wherewith by working so earn
estly to show Nevada s resources to the |
world. Wadsworth's people have never
been in favor oil damning railroads, cinch-
ing corporations, or doing anything other
than giving them the same treatment
the individual asks for himself. Wads-
worth's people are broad in their views
and would build up their own beautiful
village and the surrounding territory
without flourishing scalping knife to
down any good and legitimate enterprise
or any section. 1t is true we have an
obstructionist or two who have worked
hard to ruin our mines and put US to
trouble and expense and annoyance but
our mines are proving their own merits
and our business men and our miners
find in them source OF revenue very
welcome, and the continued improve
ment and prosperity brand the OBJ
structionist very unfavorably. So it
will be with this railroad. We will all
work for it and success will reward our
efforts. We can afford to work hard for
it and its coming will be compensation.
