There are lot of good States among
the 46 that now are represented on the
face of Old Glory, but not one of them
presents the field for honest effort for
the young man that Nevada presents.
There is not county in the State but
what has opportunities awaiting cur
rent of young blood to wash" them
out. Southern Nevada has just stated
and yet has been occupying promi
nent place on the stage for the past five
years; Douglas county has started to
grow, while Esmeralda, Lyon and
Washoe are just budding. Churchill is
both an agricultural and mining county,
and in less than five years will be close
up to the head of the procession. AS
mining county it promises to out rank
many others that have laid more claim
to be mineralized than has Churchill;
Humboldt is wiggling, and with the in
PRODUCTION of new blood, will be one of
the best sections of the State. Lin
coin is building railroads now, and when
it is netted by steel rails no one can go
wrong if looking for an investment.
Lander and Elko are great counties
with but few equals. Your own county f
White Pine is more talked about in the
western part of the State than any
other section. Take it all in all, and
there is not a hamlet in Nevada that is
not being looked after by ''outside
money"
While everybody is now busy looking
after the "mon" the politician is not
idle. Jimmie Sweeney and Sam Davis,
of Ormsby, are laying awake nights
studying how to dress silver so the
white metal agitation of few years
ago will attract attention. They ale
Democrats, and as such, are little
anxious. 1t is said that Sweeney is
willing to tackle the Congressional job
and that Davis would like the 'Dem' s"
to consider his name for Governor
John Sparks seems to like political pie
and may again lead his party to =
Congressman Van is not in Washington
nor has he been this year. 1t is said
oh, never mind.
The Republicans are busy too. "a
man from the south" is being looked to
carry the Gubernatorial banner, but
Comins, of your county, is taking up a
good deal of room as candidate just
now. Much will depend on Senator
Nixon's judgment as to who shall be
the nominee. George +. Turrittin, of
Washoe, will undoubtedly be the next
Chairman of the Republican State Cen
trial Committee, and under his banner
nomination is said to be as good as an
election. Hon. L. r. Dodge it is
thought has the inside for the nomina
ton of Supreme Judge, and in my
judgment, the party could not find a
better man if they raked the State
over with a fine tooth comb.
1t is early yet and many changes are
quite likely to be made in the progr. m
before the nominating convention coI-
Venes.
Judge Hawley's seat on the United
States District bench is still vacant
and whether harrington, of EllSo, or
Massey, of Washoe, will warm it up is
a question that depends upon Nixon.
Blakslee is busy butas the time of the
convention approaches he will be more
so.
Reno is all torn up" The stree S
are in a high state of disorder ard
Morgan still edits the Gazette.
