The CARNIVAL LESSON.
It Teaches Carson People What
Combined Energy Can do
When Properly Applied.

teaches the people of Carson what they
can accomplish when they sink petty
differences and pull together for a
common interest.
1t has always been asserted that Car
son was a slow town and that nothing
could be started here Of any magni-
tude, from the fact that there were so
many contending cliques that each
fought the other and killed all enter
prise. The fact of many cliques being
part of Carson's business and social
life is true, but we must all agree
that last week these contending forces
were all merged into one big Carson
combination to set the pace to the
whole Coast for a four day Carnival
and Fourth of July celebration. Some
OF the croakers and pull-backs at first
insisted that we had attempted too
much, but they soon were swept into
line and when the time arrived to open
the ball, everything was in place and
the gates of the city swung open at the
appointed time to our visitors.
No such affair as the four day jubilee
was ever even attempted in this State
| in its palmiest days and on no side
does one hear of a dissenting voice
denying our right to hold the record
! The parades, the exercises and the
various public amusements were all
| carried out as advertised and every
| promise made by the various commit
| tees were fulfilled
The credit of the success Of this I'M
/ dertaking belongs to no one person,
/ or 4 score OF persons. but to all who
assisted in carrying the affair to such
a happy conclusion.
| We fed and feated and housed the
! thousands Of people who came here as
the city's guests, and there was no
complaint 81 extortion or Ill treatment
or neglect in any quarter There
might have been few individual cases
where people attempted to take ad-
vantage OF the rush and big demand

instances were brought to the atten-
ton OF the committee having it i1
charge, check was put upon it.
The good order prevailing on every
side is also matter of self congrat,,-
latfOn. One saw very few cases Of
drunkenness, and The Appeal has ye,
to hear OF a single instance where a
woman was insulted. On Saturday
night a masked throng of people filled
the streets; crowds of strangers were
here masked and in the midst of the
hilarity-a general jolly time-womer
and young children were running
about in various Carnival disguises

Providence semmed to smile upon u
with good weather, and Dame For

The Carnival has cemented the PEG
pie of Carson into one organized bod
of home promoters and taught us tina
there is nothing that we cannot accom-
plish when we sink local difference

also due to the citizens of our neigh
boring towns. Virginia City, Reno
Gardnerville, Dayton and other sec
tons Of western Nevada, for the beaut

, tations.
