RENO'S MORAL ATMOSPHERE

The Gazette claims that the
school facilities of Reno, of which
the state university is the head,
make that city a most desirable
place of residence. Yet the
Gazette through its Carson dis
patches is doing its best to make
Reno a resort for the rotten, rich
of the country to free themselves
from the marriage tie. There are
other things besides climate anC
schools that go to make Reno or
any other city desirable place of
residence and one is the moral tone
of its people. A town or city lack
ing in this vital particular is not
desirable place in which to
educate young men and women.
Instead of opposing every effort
to rid the state of the rotter
characters that compose Reno's
divorce colony, the Gazette should
fight on the side of good morals
and decency and encourage every
effort that tends to create better
moral atmosphere in Reno.
If the people of Reno through it's
members of the Legislature fight
every effort to purify Reno's moral
atn 81 here by wiping out the
divorce scandal the legislators who
would relieve the state of this evil
should combine and resist every
attempt to appropriate money for
new buildings at the university.
A community that invites men and
women without shred Of moral
characterize reside in it for the
purpose of securing divorces is not
the proper place in which to spend
the money of the people for
educational purpose.

UNCLE SANS QUICK DELIVERY

The following story comes from
Yonkers, New York:
Uncle Sam set new record in
rapid postal service when he
delivered at Yonkers the other
day, letter sent from Geneva, N -.
Y. on April 20, 1888.
Y onkers is just 335 miles from
Geneva. 1t took the letter seventy
two years to travel the distance.
Both the sender of the letter and
the man to whom it was addressed
are dead, the later forty years
ago. Mrs. Walter Paddock, of the
old Paddock family of Yonkers.
received it. She is a grand niece
of d. Paddock, to whom the let
ter was addressed. He was in the
lumber business. Mrs Paddock had
never seen him.
The postman called at her home
with postoffice department
envelope. Within was the tine
yellowed sheet Of paper. It was
not an envelope. for it was written
when envelopes were unknown. 1t
was folded square and the ends
turned in, and postage stamp was
pasted across to keep them there.
The stamp was cancelled ard the
misivc bore the date, Geneva, N.
Y. April 20. 1888. Ben cath this
stamp was another one. which read
Syracuse. N. Y. Dec. 27. 1910.
No explanation of the delay ap
peared upon it. There was no
mark from the dead letter off ,e.
1t probably had been mailed by the
sender, who signed himself
Whitney. and had been misIaid in
the postoffice at Geneva to be- found
again just now.
1t was in relation to a shipm emf
of lumber which Mr.. Paddock was
TO make from Yonkers, and con-
tanned the information that So, 600
in payment would be sent on receipt
of the consignment.

VICTORY FOR THE

was handed down that spells
another victory for the Nevada

victory on all contentious claimed
by the railroad commission.
The case is wherein the Tonopah
Lumber company appealed to the
railroad commission for a reduction
on freight rates on lumber from
Verdi to Toropah. The commits
sion cited the railroads before them
and after hearing both sides of the
question made a ruling reducing
the freight on dressed lumber from

mining timbers from $l3 to So.

Before the Elko county delega-
tion put the bill through the legi-
stature to make the justice of the
peace of Carlin a salaried office,
they should investigate the matter
closely. We are under the i'm
preston that this office cost Elko
county much less ian $75 a month
last year. Instead of making the
justice of the peace a salaried
officer, the law giving the constable
a salary of $125 a month might be
repealed and the taxpayers bene-
fitted. Our Legislators should in
vestigate this matter closely before
taking any action with either office.

RENO AND ITS INDUSTRIES

Detective Ryan of Cincindati
who spent some time in Reno trying
to get Albert Lewis. wanted in
Ohio for desertion of his family,
gives his opinion of Reno, its
people and its principal industry
in the following interview in the
Cinncinati Times. Star:
Trimming suckers first, and all
the time-chewing tobacco and
swapping lies between times" was
the answer of County Deceive
George Ryan, when asked what is
the principal industry of Reno, Me-
vada.
Ryan returned home Sunday
night after one month spent in
that western city, seeking to bring
Albert Lewis to Cinncinati TO answe-
charge of nonsupport.
Lewis was in Reno seeking a
divorce from his wife, Marie, who
now lives in Hamilton, Chic.
Backed by the entire population of
Reno, Lewis was able to delay his
extraditon for thirty days, and the
case is now set for hearing on
habeas corpus in the supreme court
of Nevada month hence.

bitant of Reno, including dogs"

purpose of filing a divorce suit.
