in deciding the appeal of Will

RICHARD RYLAND, ST.,
DIES SUDDENLY

Saturday afternoon at his home
in Reno Richard Ryland, ST., one
Of Nevada's best known citizens,
was suddenly stricken ard passed
away. Sunday mornings Journal
contains the following interesting
sketch of his life:
With scarcely any wa rning that
death was near, Richard Ryland.
Sr., was stricken yesterday after
noon afte" partaking of lunch in
preparation for rising. and death
followed quickly, despite The
efforts Of physician to revive him.
Dr.. Pickard, his attending physi-
clan. state that his demise was due
to the hardening of the arteries
due to advancing age and the
immediate cause WINS heart
failure. Death came at 1886 p. m.
Mr.. Ryland had enjoyed fairly
good health for the past ye ar, but
was confined to his room three
days ago. He was up and about
after that and on the night before
his death had been outside in his
yard directing some work to be
done about the premises.
Richard Ryland, Sr., was one
Of the oldest residents IN Nevada,
in Reno, and one of the earliest
sattlers on the coast. He was over
76 years Of age at the time Of his
death. and had been &c years n
resident of Reno, nearly 40 year a
reijent Of Nevada, and had been in
the west |nearly 60 years. His
career was devoted almost entirely
to real estate. in which he dealt on
large scale, and ne leaves large
and valuable estate.
The deceased is survived by his
wife, Mrs Elizabeth C Ryland, and
two children, Mrs. Edward II.
Dodd, wife Of Lieutenant Dodd,
u. S. N. who has been visiting
with her parents. and. Richard
Wilson Ryland, who is now in the
east. Mrs. Ryland and her dau.
ghter with the latter's three
children, were present at the s..time
Of Mr.. Ryland's death and he
seemed to recognize them aim os,
to the end. Richard Ryland, Sr.,
was born at Stapleton, N. Y,
June 4, 1886. His family wa,
related to the old English famil,
of Onslaw. and his grandfather or
his mo theirs side was an Episcopa
curate. The young man was poss
essed Of considerable means ant

relatives to have him enter tn,

however, were more in reality thar

Mr.. Ryland moved to Nevada IL
he early '70s, settling at Eureka
where he married Miss Elizabeth c
Thobsben. They remained there
for fifteen years for the most part
a'hough Mr.. Ryland' activities alst
extended to White Pine and Hum
beldt during this period.
Mr.. RyIsnd's move to Reno il

change. Subsequent events, how
ever. proved the accuracy Of his
predictions and several whom he
left in Eureka followed him in
later years-Eotably DR.. Thoma
and Judge Cheney, with whom he
was associated.
When Mr.. Ryland moved to
Reno the town had little to appeal
to the settler. He was animated by
several motives. He appreciated
the benefits of the climate result
ing from the altitude and dry air.
He desired to be in convenient
touch with the coast and to enjoy
the alterations Of the sea level
and the mountain climate, for on
the coast he had been much
troubled by rheumatism. Chiefly,
however, he realized that Reno
would be the coming city of Ne
vada.
On moving here. Mr.. Ryland
bought 81 acres including the
present site of his home on South
Virginia street. Later he bought
u acres more, sharing this owner
hsip with DR. Thoma and Judge
Cheney.
Subsequently he acquired large
tract including a la rye tract on
the southwest side which he subse.
quently sold. He acquired valu-
able downtown property in the
business district, including the
Ryland building the Ryland and
Levy block, the Lusich Annex
hotel building on Second street,
and other buildings on the west
side Of Virginia street of which he
sold part interests to Judge
Cheney and A. Manning.
Mr.. Ryland was of modest
and unnbstrusive disposition and
sought few honors. His advice
was invariably sought on business
affairs and was given to the best
of his knowledge which was ex-
tensive. He was held in high
respect as man Of strict integ-
rity. In politics he was a demo-
crat an took lively interest in
affairs He did not seek public
Office bur served one term as
county treasurer in Eureka county
beginning in TT. At the time of
the Worlds Columbitn exposition
in 1893 he was appointed as alter
nate commissioner from Nevada
with George Russell Of Elko.
OF late years Mr.. Ryland had
pr actically retired from business
but was frequently seen about the
streets. At home he wac devoted
to his three grandchildren, who
brought comfort and happiness to
his advancing years.
Mr. Ryland was prominent in
Masonic circles. being a member
of Nevada consistory Ancient Ac-
cepted Scottish Rite Masons, of
the 32nd degree, also Shriner of
Kerack Temple, Reno Blue lodge.
ARRANGEMENTS for the funeral
have not been completed as yet.
The remains will be taken to the

ENLARGING GAGE PARK.

Serious consideration should be
given to the suggestion that Gage park
be enlarged by the addition of ninety
acres of what is now known as the
Westlake property. This tract con-
tains a lake with a surface area of
some sixteen acres, and in its entirety
it is geographically ideal to be work
ed over into a park.
With it's present extent of ninety
acres, Gage park may be considered
of considerable and possibly sufficient
size for Topeka. But the Topeka of
today is not going to be the Topeka Of
tomorrow by long shot. The city
is destined to grow until it has a popu-
lation of 100000. Nor will it stop
then. And in no one municipal en-
deavor is it so wise to prepare for the
future as 1t is in the matter of parks.
1t is likely that the Westlake tract
can be obtained now for a consider
alton that will be rather insignificant
as compared to what might be asked
for it in ten or twenty years. Some of
the owners of this property are now
willing to give their share of it to the
city free of all cost If the city will i'm
prove it as a park. This will reduce
the cost of acquiring the tract to a
minimum.
Then, too, large as Gage park now
is. it is far from being large enough
if the city continues its activity in the
way of getting together an interesting
collection of geological specimens. In
deed, there is not enough room there
even now to care properly for the
herds of buffaloes and deer. If these
animals had reasonably large quar-
tiers, they would do much better than
they are doing now.
Gage park is at some distance from
the city. but a street car line will be
running to its gates some day and
then 1t will be in easy access to every
one. The opportunity would appear
to be at hand to develop It into one of
the largest and finest public parks in
any city in the whole western section
of the country, where despite the
room that all the cities have there has
never been very much done in the way

PASSING KANSAS BY.

Kansas need for an immigration
bureau of some sort which will wage
a systematic campaign of large pro-
portions advertising to the world the
unparalleled advantages and facilities
of this commonwealth for homeseek-
ers of all kinds is growing more ap-
parent all the time. Only the other
day the announcement was made that
during the thirty days, ending April 80,
the transcontinental railroad systems
had handled no less than IS, 900 home
seekers and colonists for points in the
far west. These came from cities in
the eastern, northern and southern
sections of the country. It is estimated
that fully $4,000 of them went to diff
ferent points in California and the rest
were distributed among other far west
ern states and states in the northwest,
as well as in the far southwest.
The chances are that large numbers
of these colonists travelled right
through Kansas on their journey to
more distant chimes. And the chances
are equally good that large number
of those who travelled this way would
have stopped of in Kansas and looked
around a bit had they been made
familiar through honest advertising
with the advantages of this state.
