NEVADA AND HER FUTURE.

NEVADA has many advantages over other states hat lay
claim to possessing superior advantages to the miner, the home
seeker the farmer and the artisan. Her soil is virgin and will
produce all kinds of crops known i'll climates that are marked by
seasons Her mines with but few exceptions have not been work
ed to any degree commensurate with their possibilities. Her
mountain stock ranges are the best of any III the Union. Her
people are as a class as prosperous as those Of any other section.
We have NOT many very rich men and on the other hand we have
but very few who are poor. All that is needed to make Nevada a
fine State is more people. These we shall have Elm a very few years.
When the Government completes its irrigat on system in this
State, many families will come here and make homes. The mines
are vet hardly touched. and q great future is ours Ii we make the
best use ofopportunities presented. We cant hope to do much
if we. devote all our energies to politics, however. for there is moth
inc in boosting for anyone to get him into a high place. Go to
the polls and vote for the best man for the office he IS TIC I'LL re-
CARELESS of what party he belongs to. The great men ola State
are usually of The same stripe. 1t is anything to be elected with
the most of them Their every movement is carefully studied and
not made if they are likely to lose Il vote, and no matterif the
move contemplated be right or WRONG. The politician has his
finger on the public pulse at all times. The majority OF them are
EDWARDS and not statesmen. Their every move is made in the
interest of self Cur out the politics and devote your time to
differing your condition morally and physically, to make tor
Yourself a happy home, to educate your children and lead a better
life. If YOU follow that plan and overlook the professional poll
tician a a thing to be let alone to get there as best he can, YOU
will be more prosperous, happier ae live longer than You will by
spending valuable time boosting for any of them-Reno Observer.
SUPERVISING ENGINEER L. H. TAYLOR. in company
with consulting Engineers Qunton and Sanders, is expected in
Fanon today. AS no other town in Nevada is to be so materially
benefited BY irrigation as Falon, might it not BE- advisable for
this place to secure the town hall and request the distinguished
visitors to meet with them and advise them "a to the best meas
ures to be pursued for the towns future welfare. The STANDARD
offers this as a suggestion and hopes 1t will meet the approval
oflhe townsp3ople. \ great lack Of courtesy, or rather enthus-
iasm, has greeted the visits of pi ointment Irrigation Officials to
various towns Of Nevada and it seems to us tnat Fallon would be
setting an excellent example If the visitors were given a hearty
welcome on their visit. And t hen. if the gentlemen can be prevail
ed upon to address our people, it would mean much to the com
munitv as their views are worth considering. Let's get together
and give them a royal Churchill welcome.
