Instructive Trip Taken to Nearby
Valley ReSnltS in Promised Good

, quet which was rendered some eighty
people sat. Speeches were INDUCED
, in and all along the line OF future
good and needs. As both the land
agents and the colonization agents
of the big road were on hand it gave
us chance to listen to valuable sug-
gestions and advice along reclama-
ton and colonization schemes.
"The trip through Mason and
Smith Valleys opened the eyes of the
visitors to the great possibilities OF
those sections for new people and
development
I'm speaking of this one of the
gentlemen stated that the land and
water was evident, but organization
was absent He believed that it was
useless expense of money to bring
the settler to valley where things
were not ready to receive him That
in order to make the man stick the
land must be for sale and at a cer-
tain price. If it were possible to Sc
cure some of the big holdings and
subdivide them so that the agent do
ing the selling knew what he had to
offer there would be no trouble to
make success of his new home
Such valleys as Mason and Smith
should support many times the pres
ent population and with the matter
in hand and in understandable con
dition there would be an inuhx that
would surprise all
"He told of the:@,work in other
states where conditions did not equal
that found in Nevada, but there had
been complete organization.
THE trip was one of profit as II
gave the visiting state officials an in
sight into successful workings in 9th
er sections of the West The gen
tlemen comprising the party are max
ing the trip in order to get into closer
touch with patrons Of the road and
also assist in such undertakings as
will come up in Nevada from this
time on The class Of work that is
being done by this railroad is along
advanced lines and the expert advice
that they furnish will help in many
ways 1t was good thing for Ma
son Valley and that section and the
entrie state will ben6t should any OF
the plans proposed matcrialize.2

Mark Twain
as a Booster

a few days ago Judge Norcross, OF
the Supreme Court, in pouring over
some old statutes ran across an Act
which indicates that the State OF Ne
vada took steps some years ago TO
boost its resources.
The Act provided for Mineral
and Agricultural Association to ad-
vertisc and boost the state. Its
headquarters were to be in Washoe
County. which was at that time about
the entire state, and the Legislature
in passing the bill provided that Sam
ucl Clemens. who afterward became
worldwide known as Mark TWAIN,
was to be the Secretary at salary
mot to exceed three hundred dollars
per annum."
With this munifcent amount OF
money he was supposed to proceed
to the Worlds Fair held at the Crys-
tai Palace at London and make an
exhibit for the State of Nevada.
1t is not on record that he ever
went and thus Nevada lost the oppor-
tunity Of making its resources known
AT that world d-famous event
The Act can be found on page 90 OF
fhc Statutes of 1862.
WILL GO TO SAN FRANCISCO
Mrs II. NJ Yerington will shortly
leave for San FRANCISCO where she
has decided to make her future home.
The residence in this city will not be
closed and Mrs. Yerington will make
occasional visits to Carson and her
many friends here.

VIII "Wild Bob Burman be able to
achieve his pet ambition of making
three miles In one minute in his 800
horsepower racing machine? That is a
question of appealing interest to hun
dreds of automobile racing fans.
Burman has been abroad for the last
two weeks trying out the Greater
Bitten model of a German make OF
automobile and he Is so well satisfied
with the car that he has purchased II
outright in the hope that he win be
able to hang up mile record that Will
last for years.
Barney Oldfield, who held the speed
crown for years, has this to say about
Burman's proposed attempt to make
three miles In one minute:
II believe that Burman will make
good his promise to cover three miles n
minute on the Florida Beach. Scientific
men laughed at the prediction a few
years ago Of two miles a minute. In
1906 Demeogot covered the distance IN
IS AS; in 1910 clipped the two miles in
:55 As. and last April Burman turned
the trick IN a little better than 80. And
the intrepid Michigan Lad Is going for
a three-mile-a-minute record with all
the earnestness In his make up, and de-
termination has been a dominant factor
In the success of Burman as a racing
driver. There is no such thing as
limit to speed; that is. until mile is
covered In nothing or better.
