to architectural beauty to reform
ing and replenishing the waste
places within its boundaries, and
deliberate upon the ways and
meaus for their accomplishment.
Assuming that these questions
will have been ably dealt with
and their adjustment completed,
there are yet some other essen
tials which SO far as know have
been overlooked, which wish
to bring to the attention of this
body Of earnest workers.
Ely is to be the future and
permanent capitol of the state of
Nevada. To pay due attention
to this fact by acquiring suit
able location for State House,
Governors residence, etc. before
it is secured by purchase for
other purposes is to my mind
the part of wisdom. | would
suggest that it should be we'll
away from the marts of the city,
and think that an elevated po-
sition would be preferable, civ
ing it a distinctiveness character
istic of its uses.
And now another thought.
Are we to be SO Inundated as to
have it said of us that we are
lacking in the perception of the
fitness of things and SO penurious
that we cannot afford Il park?
That we can dispense with Ma
ture's benediction. which she
voices by trees and shrcbs. by
grass and flowers, and pebbly,
moss. banked stream? Shame on
everyone of us who refuses to
make a demand for this great es-
sential, and make it NOW. . And
we should have too much pride
to ask that IA tax should be levied
to pay for it. That part shonld
be our pleasure. How" am |
asked? Why, friends, by the
simplest way imaginable. BY

Chamber of Commerce Sunday
evening. She very naturally
supposed that the women would
be called upon to express their
views, as the meeting was a pub
lie one, and went hooked up
to give the Chamber the advant-
age of her knowledge of town
improvement. Mrs. Marshall
makes some excellent suggestions
and probably can make more if
called upon. THE News is glad
