TO HELP THE STATE.
Reno Chamber of Commerce Under.
takes New Scheme.

One of the most business like and
enthusiastic meetings of the Cham
Der of Commerce held in long time
took place last evening. 1t was we'll
attended and every member seemed
to enter the spirit Of the occassi-
On. 1t was intended for a special meet
ing only, and called for the purpose
Of devising ways and means for pro-
perly entertaing the excursionists who
are expected to arrive here today and |
tomorrow
AS result of the meeting the Cham
ber has been enriched in properly |
and money to the extent Of $500 and |
at least S7OO is still in sight With !
the exception Of about 800 this mol- ,
ey will be used in preparing and
having published illustrated books
and pamphlets describing the resour-
ses. not only of Reno and Washoe
county but Of every county, city and
town in the entire State The gen
eral feeling of the members seemed
to be that what benefits one portion
of the State is bound to help another
and from now on this feeling will be
kept to the front even more than in
the past.
The matter was brought up as
result of a few remarks made l.y

book now being distributed by the
!, Southern Pacific company entitled the
New Nevada" and suggested that the
Chamber of Commerse should get Up
a publication along the same lines

some plan to raise funds to pay for
, the printing of the pamphlet or book

o the secretary be instructed to corn

cry county in Nevada, informing them
of tile action taken by the Chamber Of
