COLD STORAGE.
A Valuable Plant to be Operated
by a Remote.

Henry Ritter, a long headed Dutch
mar Of Reno has purchased the pro-
perty on Sierra street Of that town,
known as the Washoe Brewery.
The property has $50 feet frontage
TO start with and the ground is worth
the money Henry Ritter paid for the
whole works. but then Henry Is a good
business man and on to his job. Besides
there is a two story brick building and
half a dozen wooden structures. The
machinery, watts and barrels that belong
to the concern are equipment sufficient
to manufacture beer for the Whole Of
Nevada. The same can be said Of a
complete plant for the manufacture Of
soft drinks. such as soda, sarsaparilla,
orange cider, etc. The celebrated
Peavine mineral water can be charged
so 1t will carry across the country and
improve with age. Best OF all is a cold
storage plant equipped with latest de-
vices. Under the direction Of Henry
Ritter this cold storage is more than
likely to become Of such moment to
Reno in an industrial way as to work
great benefit to the entire community.
Success and Henry Ritter are synon-
omous. 1t comes from good feed and
good care in business dealings. He
deserves all Of 1t. We predict another
flourishing industry for the Riverside
town.

The Carson News uses some torrid,
but truthful. language about the Legis-
lature and winds up: Nov II is about
time for the Nevada Legislature if it is
going to redeem itself this session to
get down TO business and clean the
slate Of the cinch bills and repeal all
which tend to discourage investment.
and then enact all they can think of
that will bring a ten-cent piece into the
State in Legitimate investment. 1t is
pretty hard to pay men SO a day to
damage the State.

Monies club, a member of the National
Federation of Women's clubs, has un-
der consideration a proposal which if
adopted will remove the entire color
line question that has been agitating
the women's clubs of the country. A
resolution applying for m embership in
the National Federation Of Colored
Women's clubs was favorably dis
cussed.
DR.. Dickinson, president of the Social
Economics club, submitted the PROPOSE
ton in a resolution making the club
an applicant for admission to the col
ored women's federation. The club had
taken no part in a discussion of the
color line, and the resolution came as a
great surprise.
The club had just voted to maintain
an open door policy. DR.. Dickinson had
been calling it the open door club, .
and a number of democratic speeches
had been made.
DR.. Dickinson then brought the mem
bers to a test by proposing that. the club
apply for membership in the cOlOred
men spoke strongly in favor of the idea
Others were doubtful as to the wisdom
of it. and asked that two weeks be
given in which to decide the question.
The resolution was postponed and will
come up two weeks hence

men have to give u.s." said DR.. ,Dickin-
son. in speaking of her resolution. IF
we are to study social economics we
must look at things from their point of
view They can give US a knowledge Of
the south and its conditions that We
can get nowhere else tt is true they
may not accept us. We should not hes
itate, however, as they have asked of
US and have been refused Our feelings
are no more sacred than theirs. We
have many things to learn of the colored
women"
Mrs Ida Wells Barnett would only
say that she was unable to understand
the meaning of the proposition. Mrs.
Barnett is a member of the National
Federation of COlored Women's clubs
II do not know how colored women
will look upon the idea" she said. TT
