the different counties of the State, it
now looks like Ring has a small ma

gives Ring a majority of eleven votes.
There is one precinct to hear from,

precinct. it will not change the result.
even should Bray receive the entire
six votes, which is not probable, as
the other precincts in the county have
been divided.
There may be sight change when
the official canvass of the State Is
made, but it is apt to go for Ring as
for Bray. This is one of the closest

GENEROUS
RENO
DON'T, CARE FOR THE STATE
ORPHAN HOME
Carson Should Look to Other
lnte e ;ts as Well

The Carson Appeal is giving itself
and the good people Of Carson City a
whole lot of Unnecessary worriment in
regard to the Orphans Home. 1t has.
in it's mind, discovered a deeply laid
and hellishly wrought conspiracy to
remove that institution from the Cap
it0l city to the banks of the Truckee
somewhere within the boundaries of
this great metropolis of Nevada. II
such a movement is afoot or on horse
back in Reno it has never come with
in the ken of the Journal nor any Re-
nOite, so far as can be learned. So
keep your undergarment on, Brother
Mighels, Reno is happy as she is, and
don't begrudge her dear little sister
any of the boys she now mas but hopes
she will add a whole lot more to her
vpresent collection
The above is the Tight tune. 1t is
also the first time on record that Re
no ever passed this city over any bo-
quets, and the Appeal is pleased at the
generosity.
Even with this promise from the
journal it does not prevent the people
of this city from forming some sort OF
a Chamber OF Commerce to help the
town needs along. Not only does this
city need and want the State intitu
lions that she has but she wants 9th
er business besides. There is talk Of
the Beck flour mill moving to this city
with the advent OF the Floriston pow
er, and it would not be a bad idea fOl
the business people of the town to SCI
what can be done to induce such I
movement. There is no need of send
ing out of the town for the staff o
life when it can be made at home, ant
as The Journal suggests, the tow
needs a umber OF additional toys, an
a -four mill helps the town, the cOun
ty, and gives employment to a numbe
of people.
We don't want the Reno mills no
any of her life blood, but we do nee'
further industry in a number of line
and the community is large enough t
support several thriving plants tina
, furnish necessities that are sent GU
of the country for. The reason tha
Reno is boming town is because he
citizens have made her SO, and tn
same can be done in this city with tn
combined efforts of bushes men an
the people in general.
