SIGHTS WORTH SEEING
IN NEvADES DESERT

People who dwell in the cities,
wherr Lovely women dress in the
latest style, where fine pictures
may be seen, fine music heard. and
all the comforts and Injuries may
be had for money, sometimes
wonder how civilized people can
stand it to live out in the desert.
Ec many of them the mountains
appear a dull, sleepy gray, tie
sand is merely something hot and
dry, which makes walking hard
and blnws in ones eyes. Those
who make occasional pilgrimages
miss the beautiful green grass,
trees, flowers. wide meadows,
beautiful lakes, and all that.
Every once in a wEile there
appears on the desert scene that
would stir up and set in motion
the blood Of sphynx. A man
with soul can not gaze on such
pictures without feeling how great
is nature, and recalling the teach
ings of his childhood. One who
has not thought of God for years,
when he looks upon one of these
grea at paIIoramas, with mountains
and valley stretching away to moth
ingness in the distance, where the
clouds come down tn meet the
eartn and fantastic outlines are
made by mountain ranges, with
colors blendin and changing
continually, can not but feel thai
there is power greater than that
of man or men, which created and
control the world. Such picture
was to be seen Thursday afternoon
looking up Dixie valley from the
summit of Wonder mountain. The
atmospheric conditions we're just
right and the pleasure to be deriv-
ed from its contemplation was we'll
worth travelling long distances.
The play of colors was simply
magnificent.
There are things worth while in
The mountains beside silver and
gold. Wonder News.

Of serious cases would not travel so
quickly and accurately from ward to

hospital attendants to retail gossip,

caution there is never an interesting
case in the building whose history is
not known and discussed in the re-
hottest corner.
Last week a boy suffering from a
peculiar kind of throat trouble was
brought into a first floor ward. The
doctors were very much interested in
the case, yet they took special pains
never to mention 1t in the hearing OF
another patient. But for all the good
their caution did they might as well
have lectured on the case in every
ward; for when the boy died men and
women all about the hospital said to

Of the most important modern in
ventions to keep American capital
at home is the automnb lie.
Americans are satisfied to see
America first if they have good
roads. ne of the most necessary
things to attract tourists to Nevada
and advertise our resources is
good roads. What is needed is a
good state road that will make
Nevada famous and attract
pleasure seekers to our state.
Motoring is not a fad. Its
pleasures are lasting. The new
scenes and experiences are always
interesting. The number of over
land tourists increases. Steamship
travel is on the de line because
tourists are satisfied to motor in
America. Nevada must offer
inducements to these tourists.
Money could not he more wisely
spent than to construct a state road
to connect with Utah and Califor-
MIA thus opening a highway be-
tween Salt lake and San Francisco.
Those who have toured EUROPE
will find that it is not necessary to
cross the ocean to find that which
is beautiful, magnificent and sub =
lime. AmeI leans leave a sire m
Of gold in their trail wherever they
travel. Our own country is large,
promising and attractive. Our
nation is conserving its natural
resources, the aborIgines live
almost in their native state.
Mountains lakes, river and cities
rival those of other lands. Thus
stream of gold will enrich our own
land where we have good roads.
In an interview with Geo. H.
Greenfield,a candidate for the
Assembly we learn that he is plan
ming to bring this matter before
the coming State Legislature. His
idea is to have the state build the
road and each county through
which this road passes bear a part
OF the expense and maintain the
road. In this way there will be
uniformity in survey and route
from the Utah line to the California
line. Thus the building of the
road will be assured and not delay
ed by the uncertain actin of each
separate county. No better adver-
tisement could be desired for the
State of Nevada than to have it
known among the overland tourists
that New ida has exceptionally good
roads and that the Pacific Coast
can be quickly and comfortably
reached from Salt Lake City. With
a straight almost hard road of easy
grade the amount of money left in
Nevada by the travelling public
would soon pay for the expense of
building the road and it would
attract attention to our undevelop-
ed resources and bring investments
into Nevada. This is a progressive
movement in the right direction
and should be urged upon the next
session of the legislature with all
the power possible.
