The following article was mailed
to The Reno Gazette from Yering-
ton, New. by 7. d. Dollings. gen.
eral agent of the Southern Agency
company, after he found that he
was unable to attend the CONNER
cial club Thursday night. Mr..
Dollng says he is a hearty sup
porter Of the movement to adver-
tise the city, as outlined IN The
Gazette, and wants to do all he can
to help.

class" as "One of Our Pioneer
Citizens" For, unless my plans
miscarry. this state with its multi
tude Of charms will be my domicile
the rest Of my life.
My experience as u salesman has
taught me the wisdom of Sizing
up" a prospective customer, that
before trying to sell him any thing,
i may have a fairly accurate idea
of what he is most likely to buy.
What he thinks will be best suited
to his particlar needs. Then | try
to find that thing in my stock in
trada.
And that man is hard to please
If we Nevadans can find nothing
for him in this state, with its vast
resources and many opportunities.
IL he is a mining man and looking
for an outlet for his energies-and
coin-I would take him to Roches-
ter, where a multitude of men are
at this time delving into the noun
tain sides with every prospect of
splendid reward.
II that is too new for him, and
as yet too uncertain, I would take
him to Goldfield or Tonopah. where
the prospecting period is past, and
untold millions are b, ing garnered
in. or to the old Comstock lode
which half a century has failed to
work out"
Or we might take him to White
Pine where copper can be mined
with a steam shovel, or Lyon where
the green ore is found by deep
mining and in either place, almost
without limit. IL he wants salt,
borax, tungsten, diamonds, silver
or gold, we have them all.
If he wanted to engage in farm
ing, we can show him our Carson,
Mason, or a great number of our
other splendid valleys, where five
to eight tons of alfalfa per acre is
produced; where fifty bushels
of wheat per acre, is counted but
a medium crop. If he wants to
engage in the culture of sugar
beets. we can slow MIN Churchill
county. where "a per cent Of sugar
is the rule.
IL it is climate he is looking for,
we can certainly please him, with
this pure mountain air. filled as it
is with Gods health-giving ozone.
And we can furnish him, too, al
most any variation Of temperature,
as we'll as product. IL he wants
a winter and summer climate,
where there is a cold end hot
season, yet without extremes of
either, where can he equal north
ern and central Nevada. II he
wants a semi.tropical climate, the
natural home Of the vine and the
fig tree. Clark county just fills
the bill.
And yet in both the north and
south, our air is Nevada air, pure,
dry and health giving. But If.

Jane Austen UnnonuIs,

II has been pointed out with some
surprise that the late w. S. Gilbert
mad a strong dislike for Jane Austen,
Out a correspondent OF the New York
EVening Post reminds us that Mark
twain had a similar antipathy. He
said once that "a library that does not
contain Jane AuStea's works is a good
library, even IL It hasn't another book
In It."

scenery. her easy access TO the
worlds most splendid, hospitable
people; or to REM, which
we who live there. are proud
to speak of as the biggest little

miles of paved streets and cement

Truckee river sweeping through
her very center, with her excellent
street a service leading to our
state university on the north, rail-
road city Of Sparks on the east,
Moana Springs on the south, and

miles to the west, with her well

modern up-to-date hotels, and
hundreds of splendid homes.
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 3D.
sence of extreme poverty. You
rarely find a man, who will admit
being broke" to the extent of
accepting charity. Wherever you
find a man, in city or country,
mining camp or stock range, he
has a piece Of money in his pocket
i have travelled the state over
many times, and have had many
amusing experiences which if prop
erly related, might entertain you,
but shall not undertake their re-
lating at this time. ] assure you
however, that | have never made a
trip, that | did not find an eye
opener as to the resources and
possibilities Of the state.
There appears to 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, e that a 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 a part of a great
reclamation scheme, which would
bring thousands of new people to
their county.
But in spite of their protests,
this was done, and they now
have as county seat, Fallon, a hust-
ling little city, full Of wideawake,
enterprising 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.
The blessings we have seen
literally, to have been forced upon
all of us. Has it been, think you,
the spirit of a long pull and a
hard pull and a pull together" that
has made Reno what she is today?
Ask anyone who has lived there ten
years.
Why my friends, had Reno been
inoculated with the Los Angeles
boost microbe ten years ago. she
would now have $4,000 instead of
1000 people.
