Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1900-10-30
THE UNIVER-
SITY LOSS,
THE NEWS" ANSWERED
BY THE VERY REC
ORDS SIT QUOTES.
It Was the R. R. Delegation
That Caused it to 60 to
Reno, and not the
"Appeal".

The News of Saturday contains a
column statement relative to the loss
II the University to Carson and at
temps to show that the APPEAL was
factor in sending it there and that it
approved of the vote by which Senator
Parker killed the University bill and
,aved the State Prison.
Messers Dunn and Lemon we're not
publishing newspaper l. ~.::sou at
the time and can only gather informa-
ton relative to the status Of affairs at
that time by reference to the columns
Of the APPEAL.
The article they quote from, in part,
was an allusion to the claim made by
Senator Parker that while be had lost
the University he had saved the State
Prison. For weeks the unsightly
plans OF the State Prison project at
Reno were on the walls of the Senate
chamber and every one knew these
plans were merely bluff to influence
legislation and furnish an excuse for
men who wanted to vote for WashOe's
interest. The rest of the article quoted
py the News is in reference to a relief
bill to be paid the maker of the maps
and other facetious illusions to the
gall of Washoe county.
Now the real position of the APPEAL
can best understood ty further quota
lions from it.
It's issue of March 9Th contains the
following:
1.-THE Legislature of Nevada is getting
to be regular slaughter pen for
Ormsby county. Each session results
in some victory of Washoe over
Ormsby and we lie like an old SOW in a
pen simply grunting as our ribs are
being caved in.
"We might have easily had the State
University but now we are beaten
out Of it by series of most persistent
and remarkable laundering and down
right-fiat-footed- bullheadedness.
SIT is time that the County woke ur
to the fact that Washoe is at war with
it and that they have the best of the
fight, and if we do not wake up soon it
will absorb Ormsby and move the Cap
itol, State Prison and County seat
