Man, YOU are hard to please, If
Nevada can furnish nothing
suited to your needs. There is
one particular thing that has i'm
pressed me in my travels as
truly remarkable; the utter s5-
sence of extreme poverty. You
rarely find man, who will admit
being BROKE" to the extent of
accepting charity. Wherever you
find man, in city or country,
mining camp or stock range, he
has piece of money in his pocket
nave Travelled the state over
many times, and have had many
amusing experiences which if prop
erly related, might entertain you,
but l shall not undertake their re-
lating at this time. ! assure you
however, that / have never made a
trip, that l did not find an eye
opener as to the resources and
possibilities of the state.
There appears tn be bat one
thing lacking, the spirit of
boost, which has stimulated to
successful effort, citizens Of less
favored communities is to some ex-
tent, absent. It was extremely diff
cult to make the old-timers Of the
Carson sink, see that better order
of things could be brought about
in that wonderful valley, than had
heretofore existed. They seriously
objected to the government taking
over their riparian water. rights,
and making them part of a great
reclamation scheme, which would
bring thousands of new people to
their county.
But in spite of their protests,
this WIS done, and they now
have as county seat, Fallon, hust-
ling little city, full of wideawa AXE,
enserprising people, instead of
Saltwater, which would have been
more appropriately named Stag
nant Pond" Despite the protest OF
these old timers, Carson Sink now
looks upon herself as the soon-to-be
richest and best valley in the state.
Despite their protests, these men
can now sell their holdings for
thousands, where hundreds could
not have been obtained under the
old regime, and this is not peculiar
to Carson Sink. A.

When he had rubbed the last sleep. wink
out of his eyes he looked again. There it
was. just as he had seen 1t the night be-

he began to wonder what was on the

legs were never made for climbing" said
Spotty, mournfuly. as he looked at his
funny little black feet. "Oh, DEAR l wish

into his head and chased away the little

how he could make the most of his short
legs and his perseverance, of which as
you already know. he had a great deal.
He looked this way and he looked that
way and he saw that il he could climb
to the top OF the bank on one side Of the
Laughing Brook he would be able to
walk right out on the strange wall of
logs and sticks and mud, and then, Of
