THE OLDIERS
Let the People of the State
Make it a Big Success

may re d nature OWlHP W Vic NfduPl-
ing of the people of Reno over the way
to do it.
Already it is charged that some of
the Committee are taking the BIZ in
their teeth and running things with a
high hand. 1t is claimed that Allen
Bragg closed the competition for de-
signs for the medals before the time
agreed on, and one competitor, who
was told he had tive weeks in which to
prepare a design, was shut out. Mr..
Cutting of the printing committee is
charged with contracting for ball
printing without giving all the printers
in Reno a chance to bid and submit de-
signs.
1t is this sort of favoritism that often
breaks up public celebrations. a kick
is being made regarding the price of
ball tickets 1t is claimed that the
public is being shut out. wei, this is
no affair of the APPEALS S, except to
call attention to the fact that owing to
the wrangling in Reno, it beheoves all
the other towns of the State to stand
in and make a renewed effort to help
the celebration that it may be one of
the greatest possible successes. The
reception is a-state affair and it be-
longs to the whole people, and politics
and favoritism of all kinds should be
dropped utterly in the management of
it.
AS far as Carson is concerned, if the
Reno people will agree on what they
propose to do, and fix on the price OF
their banquet and ball tickets, the pe0-
their heaviest feeders and prettiest
girls to shine at both functions. The
price cuts no figure up here when wei
coming Nevada soldiers is concerned.
The town will send down a few car
loads of people and they will help in
any other way hat the Reno people
may designate.
What is bOthering everybody now is
the question of rates on the cars. 1t
has been suggested that the railroad
company make a dollar rate, but the
road management has not yet announc-
ed what it will do. When Mr.. Bryan
spoke here the Committee had to
guarantee a certain sum-about 500
before it was given out hat ComstOck-
ers could come and listen to the great
speaker at a dollar for the round trip.
Wall +haN- 40 - IN orNuI~ anI tho
road cleared nearly five hundred dol
, lars out OF Bryan. The managers
wer- unwilling to risk a cent, however,
until there was a guarantee. They had
probably not read the papers and
never learned what a drawing card
Bryan was.
Now people are asking if the roaG
will give a dollar round trip rate to
Reno when the reception and the ban,
quet and the bali comes off. 1t is
e doubtless waiting for a guarantee from
somebody. If they took the bull by
the horns and showed a little specula
tive nerve the announcement woule
have been made long ago, and ther
people who are now in doubt would
begin to make preparations to 60 and
5 when the time came, many
' more would go and the Company
would reap q bigger harvest.
The road and the people and every
body should get a move on and pusl
along the reception to the Volunteers
and make the whole affair a hummer
An announcement of a dollar rate /
Reno on that occasion would liven tn
whole business up at once. Give tn
public a dollar from the Comstock al
the way down the line and back an,
the road will reap a harvest of dol
lars. But if you propose to do it be
/" gin advertising it literally and use
little printers ink to let the publ
" know it. Announcements of this kin,
Ia will be gladly made in the APPEA
i" free of charge.
Since the above was in type tn
rs APPEAL is informed that Gov. Sadie
~ and Secretary Of State Howell had a
interview with Superintendent Gerine
ton and secured aGollar round trip rat
from Virginia City to Reno and retur
and all Intermediate points. Mr.. YeI
ington did not ask for any gua1ante
! from the committee.
The Carson Red Cross Society Wi
hold a meeting this afternoon at 2;
o'clock for the purpose of arrangin
for a banquet to be given the Nevad
Volunteers upon the return of. tn
Cavalry troop. A large attendance
desired.
( It is proposed to banquet the 1st NJ
vada Cavalry and also the enlisted me
who went to Jacksonville with Torrey
Rough Riders, and the boys who wen
with the navy The banquet wi
probably cake place next Tuesday.
