There ire gentlemen in Carson City whom it is a pleasure to meet.
Men who are making Nevada-men living quietly in this beautiful town
of houses and doing their work without ostentahou, without noise, but
accomplishing much, ' e as a elloied, smooth running machine.
There is the Yerngton family with the stately old gentleman at
its head, and the true stalwart sons, who link him to the past, the pres
ent, and the future. The old a himself is a striking personality,
with his whiskers, white as snow, his passive manner of speaking, his
We vivid recollection of Nevadas past thirty years, and the men who
built the past. They are well known names, many of them-Maekey,
F1ocl, Mark Twain, Bret Harte, and Dandy Quill.
1T is good to grip this man who has built a railroad by the hand
it $ good to note in its firm grasp his undiminished energy, despite the
passage of years And his boys re n longer boys-but men, the young

medicine at Columbia. l repeat, from father to sol the stock speaks for
itself and that in no uncertain tones.
Then there is Judge Murphy of the District Court-a "a as well
as a judge-who in both capacities shows a evident determination to
be fair. He, too, wears side whiskers, and other whiskers. in addition,
which almost hide his face from view, and like those OF a fox in the
brush his bright eyes shine u from the mesh of them, ver alert, all

And last, but at the sam time foremost. for is he not a fellow crafts
man. there is a newspaperman at Carson whose body ii as big as a small

Thank God, William NJ. Gotwaldt rot started in the west. the east
would have been toe small for him-he would have been a bull in a
