EDITORIAL COMMENT
LET'S STEP
W. C. Black, Editor

EALLONis going to make a city ofseveral thousand inhabitants.
L No one doubts that. Among the new projects of the near
future will be new churches; new brick and stone blocks; new mod
ern residences; probably a county high school building. In fact all
the attributes Of moderl little city will soon be had. AS a pass
ing remark we might add that the establishment of a city park,
would be a good undertaking, to be added to and
beautifed as time goes on. Few places are favored with more
natural advantages than has Fallon.
Certainly a city park, even though of modest size, would be a
lasting testimonial to the wisdom and forethought of the citizens
upon whom such a project is dependent, and in years to come,
the benedctions for them and their memories will be manifold.
To be able to have open air gatherings i'll a we'll equipped park,
would be abundant compensation for whatever expense might be
incurred in having such a convenience.
The Standard does not want to seem presumptious, but we
are going to concentrate our efforts on civic impro vements, in
GLIDING a sanitary town aud good streets, and if we shall be in
strumental in aiding even i'll our small way, i'll the attainment of
these things, we shall be amply repaid. We expect to live here
permanently. so do all who have become familiar with our adj
vantages, of which the most cursory observer cannot fail to note
An active civic league would be a very useful thing. Why not or
ganize one?
