4 Falonite Gives His Impressions Of
the Two Places.
The editor of the Standard spent
two days in the States capital this
week, and our knowledge of Carson
lie gained in that time was revela-
ton. It is a pretty town and its bust
ness and moral life is such that the
local medical fraternity have never !
reported case of nervous prostration
in the history Of the place.
A unique feature is the great pre-
dominating majority of native born
Carsonites 1t has been said THAT
the only exception to this rule were a
few Of the State officials and the in
mates of the State prison. The local
press Aeeven now working with
commendable industry and may sue
coed in inducing the governor and his
assistants to become naturalized AMI
bona fide residents in the capital city,
while the convicts have all expressed
regret that the stork had not made
them native sons. In fact the cond-
tons are so ideal that many return
for second and third term.
The only scrap noticed in recent
years was on an occasion some months
ago when sightseer ruthlessly spat
in the eye of native born potato
The matter was later adjusted salts
factorily.
The Tonopah traffic has contributed
largely toward livening up the capital
city and fattening the receipts of the
V. land T. company. Many dollars
have diverted into Carson business
channels during the past year and the
business men are in very regret
full mood that the Hazen cutoff should
be nearing completion as it will de-
rive them of good sized plum.
The State capital grounds are now
the scene of an experiment of general
interest throughout the State, which
is paying $50 per diem for well
driller to search for artesian water.
They are now down several hundred
feet, and the last few days have been
spent in the search for lost drill
The drilling apparatus is walking
beam affair and when the drillar
wants to get the best results he hires
a man with a patriarcal beard to work
as pendulum on one end of the walk

These and other things, not occur

capital city from sinking into state
of 'inocuous desuetude"
Any mention of Carson would be
incomplete without a word about her

are sister towns, but one would never

present time this honor is an empty
one, for the reason that the metropoli
