AN OBJECT LESSON.
Carson City Should Follow Results Of!
Others.

been in this city fer the past ten day :,
citizens, paid the Appeal office visit
yesterday. Mr.. Esler is making arran-
gements for the history Cf Nevada
and in -. hounds Cf business has met
most q the people Of this CRY. IN
talking over this city, he stated thai
he net with good encCura cement and
promises that the forthcoming history
will be a splendid edition. not only
from a historical standpoint. but IS
handsome piece of the printers art.
In speaking of Redlands he cannot
be loud enough in the praise Of the
town, its people and the climate. He
related some of the history of the
place and in doing so stated how the
growth was brought on and the re-
place, it had few hundred people for
inhabitants. This hand full of citi-
zens organized a Board of Trade.
Each man in the settlement went to
work Systematically. They organized
and contributed small fund monthly.
This fund was used to develop the ma
tural resources of the section and part
of it was placed into advertising the
resources The result was the steady
growth of the beautiful town that is
now known as the most prosperous
Of re CT in he
Citrograph, the only paper in the town
at that time, was supported by the
people Of the town. and every citi-
zen sent in a number Of subscribers
who sent the paper to the Eastern
States. Though this medium the at
tention Of the every State in the I'M
ion was called to that particular sec
ton and today the city Of Redlands
is as well known as any city of its
size in California and more million
- aires are numbered among the inhab-
itants than any city in the TniteI
States.
This lesson can be taken by the
people of this city with good effect.
There is no question about the de
STABILITY of the climate here. and as
for resources this section offers more
to the people locking for home than
any place in California IL that is
needed is a body to take hold of such
matters as can be handled and let the
world know just what can be found.
Mr.. Esler stated that when the
Board of Trade organized in his town
that the members looked into every
piece of property that was placed be-
fore the public and offered for sale. #
it was undesirable the feet wasr7ado
known. BY doing this no one came
to the promised land and found a fail
ure before them. If a section or piece
of land could be developed. it was
done and that much more desirable
property was placed On the market
and made taxable.
Had Carson and her people takaI
the same interest in their town anC
her future, this city could have ha-
the same number Of people as Red
lands. Reno, since the day Of Pown
ing. has been booming her resources
and while the rest of the State fol
many years was inclined to smile a
the pretense Of the sister town, thu
results are now in evidence. That CITY
is booming and will be the largest anC
richest cjtU in tho OF ND
cen prevent it. Reno has been fortu
nate in having number of men wht
have devoted not only energy, bu
money in showing what she had to CT
of Trade or Chamber Of Commerce
that does not fail to show the travela
or any one who will look or listel
to what she has. 1t produces results
and the good work will continue.
Carso can do the same She ha
plenty to show the world and induce
ments can be offered to come here, blu
it will have to be done through tn
agency of her own people. Outsider
are not coming here to tell what w
have and other cities, who are biddin
for their patronage and citizenship
will pick the persimmon while tn
Carsonite thinks it over.
If Carson wants to advance and ad
new people and enlarge the taxabl
property Of the county and city sh
will have to do as others have done
Develop her resources and show til
world what we have. The orSaniZitio
Of promotion committe or somethin
of that character is as badly needle
as any one problem that confront
the people of Carson.
