Never Was a Lid to the Town
and Now the Bottom Has
Been Taken Out.

AND VISITORS TO THE NEVADA
CITY WILL BE WELL PLUckED
BEFORE THE DAY THE BIG
MILL Is PULLED OFF.

Reno, New. June 22.-Reno needs
the money. That's all there is about
It, and Reno is going to get some OF
II all right before the day OF the big
fight rolls around.
Legitimately all right, in most
cases, for fasteners and other strang-
ers coming here will get their moneys
worth.
Again it is not going to last long
out here. They passed a state law
short time back putting ban on all
openness like gambling. Not card
will be turned or a ball spun in the
festive roulette hall after next fall,
nor will the merry little cube be toss
ed out over the scraps table or in the
chuck-a.luck table. Nevada is trying
to shake off its ancient reputation
and become a real modern state.
Soon its only national stock in trade
will be the divorce mill that grinds
30 rapidly and with such exceeding
1inesse.
When the flock Of war correspon.
main centerpieces of the great battle
0warmed in, business men began to
Dc0nt legitimate prey, and things hap
pened. As there was no lid on the
town they went the other way and
WcmoRed the bottom. The prices of
06xs and .other ordinary commodities
oegm to soar. and an entirely new
6ato scale went into effect. 1t didn't
Hakos more than a minute or SO to
sf1sctyt the change.

Not far away Is the finest trout
and bass fishing in the world and the
fishermen come in with strings so big
and luscious that 1t looks as II they
might kill them with a club. That
will hit the big burly from Los Ange-
les and hit him hard.
Il was lively day in Reno. The
night was as bad. It's an all night
town and one can put a bet down at
five a. m. as easily as one can twelve
hrs earlier or later. You don't have
- make appointments to get some
body to turn or roll for you.
The place selected for the arena is

Reno. It IL about six hundred by three
hundred. and the arena which will be
about 300x300 IL now going up in the
exact center Of It. Being but ten min.

Il Is great, and the easy storing OF
trains Immediately adjacent to the
ground further enhances its ideality
Tho Pullmans can be stacked along
tho arena in great numbers.
