The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1919-09-02
RIGHT BACK At YOU,
MR.C.D., SAYS INLAY

INLAY, Nevada, September L.
Two old-timer hogheads poured
rather laboriously, on Labor Day, over
the article by c. d. in a recent issue
of The Silver State, giving vent to
exclamations of pleasure and per-
plexity, all the while wondering what
sort of a motive could prompt any
one to leave Winnemucca in quest of
excitement and stop in Inlay.
II Seedy was disappointed and dis
gusted and disheveled, perhaps by the
Inlay zephyrs, there is no one to
blame. Somehow the old boys
thought the dream must have lasted
longer than was indicated by the let
ter, else how could any one speak of
our perfectly good little cottages as
shacks! Here they are nicely painted,
comfortably furnished. lighted by
electricity and surrounded by beautiful
green trees and lawns. These same
men contended that IL all Nevada
was like our garden patches we
would have some State and H. C. L.
would have no chance to flourish.
Just desert. indeed? With lots of
green corn and cucumbers and toma-
toes. and small garden truck of every
kind! Say. Seedy. didn't you see all
the morning glories and bright fiow-
ers cultivated. and perhaps you didn't
hear that in certain back yard
there grows several fine tobacco
plants and in another fine celery
and yet in another, peanuts?
And of course the trains don't so
through here as they do at ordinary
towns. Inlay is no ordinary town.
According to the Carson City Appeal
and the Chicago Ledger. Inlay is the
only town of its kind, either on or off
the map. For that very reason, the
prospective correspondent mentioned
in said letter may feel encouraged to
write for said paper. There are not
many towns of this size, inhabitated
by strangely named bipeds" where
the monthly payroll spells fifteen
thousand dollars. That is the amount
distributed by our genial agent, p. o.
Maraska, each month. to the employees
of the Southern Pacific. Most of these
employees are thankful for the strike
not reaching this far. They are in
hopes the abnormal condition will
adjust itself in time.
Before commenting further on the
remarks of our friend these two 10y
al hearted Inlay engineers thought
they ought to lend some assistance to
the lady who was so courageous as
to become newspaper correspondent
and they wondered If she knew that:
L. d. Joyce is laying off on the
