jimmy Haley, founder and edit.
or of the Raisin City News Of Fresno,
one-time city editor of the Nevada
City edition Of the Grass Valley Union,
city editor of the Reno Journal twelve
years ago and long editor Of the Reno
ReVeille, is a newspaper man., but he
is also some Democrat and was at one
time state bullion tax collector of Ne.
vada. After several years as news
editor of the Honolulu Commercial Ad.
vertiser, he was appointed two years
ago collector of internal revenue at
Honolulu and has made n most eff.
cient officer.
" There is an appeal to a fellow 3
heart in getting back to Reno, he said
this morning. 1T always felt like home
to me and always will. When we
passed through Truckee, though it was
early [ was up and looking for my ~
friend MeGlashan, but you could not
expect the general to get up at such
an hour. The scene from the Reno
depot looking up Center Street brought
back the old boom days when that
, particular block was crowded night and
day and when the whole place was
ablaze with electric light with Jim
Mays Palace restaurant the center of
= the blaze. / hear Sherman, who ran
the restaurant, is down at Fallon and
doing well. That 3 good. All the old.
; timers are doing we'll.
: Thinks Hawaii Splendid
OF course, us n Democrat, IN glad
= the election went the way it did. I've
2 got lot of good Republican friends
and personally sympathize with them
, in their defeat, but as Democrat
5 IN delighted with the success of my
Democratic friends and associates OF
long ago.
= While he likes the bracing climate
OF the intermOuntain region, Haley
, thinks his present home has it all over
the rest of the globe on that score.
- Hawaii is perfectly splendid be
said. There is nothing like il any
where else. The climate is simply
D great-coOl in general-cool enough
anyhow, and never too warm for com
y fort. You know | lived down in Frisco
. for several years and recall the sum
mers there whenever anyone suggests
that it is too warm on the Islands.
Honolulu a Great City
d" Honolulu is a great city. 1t may
not have the population of San Fran
= cisco on the one side of the ocean OF
of Yokohama and Canton on the
other, but it is the metropolis of the
Pacific. There are great many peO
pie from the Pacific Coast there and
any NeVadan finds himself at home al
, soon as he lands. And such hospital
: ity. They are all warm hearted PEG
= pie and they greet the new arrival and
make him u brother at once. The city
: is a beautiful place but it is q great
. business center, too, and the Volume
of commerce there is enormous Thil
is natural, as it is the great emporium
of the whole wide stretch of the Pa
cific. 1t is an American city, too, ani
everybody is strongly patriotic.
Queen May Visit Reno
: Haley refused to discuss island poll
ties, but letters from Nevadans who
i are there intimate that there is q
n strong movement at work to make hin
I the next Governor of the Territory. The
r appointment is in the hands Of the
, President at Washington.
4 "Another bit of news that Haley
Y brought was that, if her health viii
] permit the former queen Of the Islands
l.iliuokalani, to go to Washington thi,
year she will probably drop off al
Reno for a short stay to visit the Jay
Clemens family. When Mr.. Clemon,

spring, they were present at a recep
