session adopted declaration OF
rights and constitution The con
stitution was submitted to the people

| Isaac Roop was elected governor,
along with the other state officers.
The legislature met at the log
house December, 1859, and adjourned
to meet in July of the following year
Thus it is seen that the early his
tory of Nevada is closely connected
with this historic old building and it
will be nothing short of burning
shame if the people OF the state let
few dollars stand in the way OF
preserving this building. 1t is to
Nevada what Suffers Fort is to Cal
ifornia and we should prize its his
toric value with as much pride as
do the Californians their old build
ing.
Four years ago Senator Mack in
troduced a bill in the legislature for
the purchase by the state OF the log
house and worked hard for its pas
sage The measure was defeated by
some pinheaded member Of the leg
iislature who could see no value in
preserving this building.
The only way left to save it from
being razed is by popular subscrip-
ton through the medium of the Ne
