BRING THR WESTERN PACIFIC TO
WINNEUCCA RIGHTLY

Winnemueca have been unable to give the
matter ofthe Western -'acffic establish
ing a terminal here the serious thou2ht
it deserves. True some there are who are
disposed to give any new enterprise but
one considerations knock; but these
persons are far from being the majority.
Many are prone to regard the matter
as too far off, for any nee ssity for
activity on their part. No greater mis-
take could be made. The time for the
business interests of the town to acs
is now. The Western Pacific. like many
other enterprises. must be given some
evidence that it is worth theih while
to outlay theih dollars before this town
will stand a ghost of a show of having
a terminal. -RTr
Without the Western .aciic terminal
here the coming of the new road will
have no great effect on the prosperity
of the town. On the other land. cnce a
a terminal is assured, the town will
begin to build and expand, property VAL
ues will increase and the apathy that is
too apparent in many quarters will AVE
been wiped out.
The Silver State is in a position to as
sure the business men af the tow that
in the matter OF the Western Pacific
terminal being abb shed here. it is en-
tirely up to them They must take
steps whereby they will be able to as
shops ect. will be furnished the road
The company will not ask these things,
for they are to be had at other places,
unfortunately. places thai are just as
well quipped for the establishment Of
terminal as in Winnemucca.
This matter must be disposed of in the
very near future or Winnemucca will
find the Western Pacific cas- ing about
for another terminal site. Therefore. it
behooves the business men of the town,
and large property holders of the coun-
try to get together on the proposition at
the earliest possible date. Thisis an un-
equivocable fact. and one authoritative
lly stated.
Doubtless the best plan would be TO
call a mass meeting for some future
oughly ~canvassed and the action taken
that would assure the Western Pacific
people that Winnemucca Wants a ter
minal here-that Winnemucca VII do
her share to secure a terminal.
Some there are who are disposed to
rest on the fallacious belief that the
Western Pacific will be compelled 70
make Winnemucca a terminal point. The
writer has heard that contention tim 5
and again. and doubtless in good faith.
but it is far from being so. Certain it is,
however, that the failure of the Western
Pacific TO make Winnemucca a termin Il
will not affect the town as a stock ship
ping center For the Present. But, in the
Western Pacific terminal. will nave ceas-
ed to occupy the position it at present
holds in that respect. TIE building of
San Francisco, IDAHO and Butte railway
will ave much to do with that Thus,
If some action is not taken and the es-
tablishment of a terminal assured for
this town. the future of Winnemucca
will be nothing to boast of.
1t would be an everlasting pity if per-
sonal feelings we're allowed to enter
into this matter to an extent that will
prevent the business interests of the rom
munity, as well as of the country from
getting together .However.it isimpossible
to conceive Of such a thing being Eos
