learn there is no occasion for the
people of Ormsby county to worry as
regards the location of the prison,
The law provides tnat it must be err

PROCLAMATION

Labor Day Proclamation

1o0Si OdJ TiOCldHdCiOn
The Legislature Of Nevada, in fit
ting recognition of the debt the State
owes to that great class of it's citi

defense in time of war and contrib

, prosperity in time of peace-those
who soil with hand and brain-has
declared the first Monday in Septem :
Der of each year a legal holiday in

The most important lesson OF his
tory is the incontrovertible fact that
! the decadence of all the mighty MIA
tions that in the past have fIourished
and died began with the degradation
of the Iaborer. Intelligent and in
dustrous labor is the foundation upon
which the material advancement and
supremacy OF every nation must rest
and the State or nation that most
mighty honors labor is the one des-
tined to reach the highest plane Of
activity in all lines of useful en-
deavor
In no country in the world is hon
est toll respected as it is in our owr,
and in no other country has labor at
tanned SO high a standard Of eff
cheney. It is to the interests of our
citizens, in whatever walk Of life, to
foster and encourage the spirit OF
progress that has prompted the Am
erican laborer to this most felicitous
attainment.
Therefore, |, D. S. Oickerson, Lieu
teuant and Acting Governor of the
State of Nevada, do hereby proclaim
