George A.. Bartlett went through |
Reno yesterday on his way to Carson
City where he has some important litiga
ton coming up before he supreme

man-elect Bartlett has visited this city
eInoe his election by an overwhelming

tiouRl and state affairs becomes, there
by, interesting to the citizens Of this
state anu to the residents Of his city.
One 81 the most importunt matters
that the next congressman from Ne.
Aada discussed was the effort which he
will make in Washington to secure tile

"Why should there not be H secretary

Bartlett yester. lay. IIs agriculture

shoul1 not mining get similar attention
from the federal government ? Ia it III
reasonable to ask TINT M industry

Another fight that Bar Ilett proposes
to take up ia the child labor law. AL
