Doing Things

THE result of success in most sections is doing things. Prac-
ticalIy every town that has grown from that standard to a city.
came to it's maturity by doing things, not by talking them over.
There is a heap of difference between talking and doing.
During the early spring and last winter there was all kinds
of talk of what Carson would do this summer. There was talk
of organizing a boosters club, a citizens orgization that would
attend to the boosting or at least help it over the high spots and
see that Carson was known beyond the ends of the V. & 7. road.
The movement never grew beyond talk. 1t ended at that
noint and seem as far off as it did a cal AGO. The result is
that hundreds of people who have visited this city this past
month are free to state that Carson has plenty of advantages, but
that they ar not advertised. That the sights worth seeing are
stop and investigate, would look up business projects and would
help tell the rest OF the world the resources that are here.
1t is a fact that nearly every merchant has benefited by
this new trade this season, it is known that by combined efforts
that other sections have made themselves greater, yet there has
sat still and business, in a way, has come. They take 1t as Their
just reward. They overlook the fact that they could possibly
home papers, but by letting the outside world know that they r.
here.
The newspapers of this city have done and are doing their
hare of free boosting, continually hammering away at it. There
is not a spot in the county that has not been written up, told
retold through their columns. They do it every day. The pa
pers have asked that the citizens form ii league to help them
selves and others. \ core Of towns in Nevada smaller than Car
son, where there is no hope for the natural travel that comes this
way. have organized and are boosting their particular sights and
resources. Could a club or organization be formed that would
take pictures of this city, furnish the plates for the printer, either
paper would gladly print the same and furnish the wrte-ups.
Take a look about. There is many a beautiful view; there is
many an interesting sight that could be sent broadcast. Then
some signs about Lake Tahoe, out south. o up north, along the
routes of travel. Get out a few thousand descriptive phamplets,
distribute them early in the season at distant points where the
traveller would see them. All would do much good. A Carson
City booklet with views would be appreciated by the stranger
and would do much good if placed where it could be seen several
days before he reaches here. 1t is too late for this this season.
This has to be done early, when there is a chance to do some good.
Carson City is not merely the Capital of the State, but it
has the most beautiful settings in the state. The trees are re
nOWned for their density and numbers. Every home is a garden
spot. 1t is conceded to be the city beautiful in Nevada. It
lacks the commercial life Of the city. but it has the charm of the
home and a look of stability. 1t can be added to many fold but
the citizens must get busy. 1t looks like someone is needed to
take the initiative and start the ball rolling. Because other
clubs have failed is no reason that this city should sleep upon her
rights. The stranger tells us daily and other Nevada towns are
enjoying the results Of organization.
