"Why didn't somebody tell us about
1t before?'
Nevada men are princes at enter
tanning"
These and similar Ihrases formed the
lyrics for a chorus sung by the nIty
Los Angeles business men who maze
a tour of Southern Nevada on the busl-
ness mems special.
The special arrived in Los Angeles
at o'clock last night and deposited the
most satisfied load of passengers that
ever came into Los Angeles. ON the
entire train there could not be found a
man with a crouch and all were singing
the praises of Southern Nevada from
one end to the other, the railway COM
pany and everything and everybody
having any connection with the trip.
They declare the trip to be one of the
best things that could possibly have
happened to Los Angeles in business
way. and say they expect active trade
relations between, the two territories.
Fred Allies of the Allies Printing COM
pany pronounced it the time of his life.
1--WE have had the time of our llVes
and there is no mistake about it, said
Mr.. Allies.
Expect Plenty of Business
ST believe that this trip will be the
greatest thing in commercial way that
has ever happened to Los Angeles. The
business men up there semed to pc
pleased and they talk as If they would
like to do business with us. we near
many stories about mining camps and
most of us are apt to look at the ma
jority of them as fair. tales, but those
who went to Nevada on this trip have
had their eyes opened and they Will
see things in a very different light
hereafter. l had no idea there were
such fiourishing camps-no they should
be called cities-aS Goldfield and Iono-
pah, not to forget the energetic camps
of Rhyolite and Beatty. There is lots
of business t--ere and heretofore San
Francisco has taken it. With freight
rates right L see no reason Why we
should not receive the bulk of 1t.
Fred L. Baker, president of the Baker
Iron works, was another who caught
the Nevada fever.
''It is a great country anG the men
of Nevada treated us royalty. Wherever
we went we received the same hearty
reception and the entire trip was one
round of pleasure. There was not an
unpleasant incident from start to fin
ish, OF the commercial benefit which
/ believe will accrue to Los Angeles !
cannot say too much. The people seem
to want to do business with Los Ange-
les and all Los Angeles has to do is to
go after 1t"
Harry R. Calender, secretary and
treasurer of the Wright & Calender
company, said:
Country Impressive
1--WE were very /favorably impressed
with the entire country. The progress
siveness in Goldfield and Tonopah was
a subject of marvel . all of us. Our
train was the first solid vestibule tram
to &c, directly through to Tonopah ana
We made the trip without hitch.
There was perfect weather all the time
and if it is a sample IF desert climate,
many of the bad weather stories one
hears must be absolutely without foun-
dation. Not one member of the party
was affected by the high altitude. In a
short time the road between Los Ange-
les and Tonopah and touching all the
various camps along the way will have
eyery facility for handling freight, and
I think we will have big commercial
traffic between Southern California and
Southern Nevada.
ITO tell the truth it would be i'm
possible to say too much that was
favorable about any part of our trip.
1t now remains for the Los Angeles
merchants to foster trade relations.
Southern Nevada produces only min
eral wealth and every article that is
consumed must be brought in from the
outside. Why not from Los Angeles?
We have what the people want. Why
should we not supply them? We feel
that it was the most delightful and
profitable trip we ever made, and
think there are not two or three of US,
or half a dozen, but the entire party
who will express this same sentiment"
Fairy Tales All True
w. G. Hutchinson, president of the
w C. Hutchinson company, said:
"People have only half guessed the
extent of the wealth in Southern Ne
vada. I saw the excitement at Lead
VILE and we believed at that time moth
ing would ever come up to that, but
there is much greater wealth in South
ern Nevada than there ever was in
