ADVISES YOUNG
WOMEN TO GO WEST.
Since Horace Greeley, in the in
terest of eastern youth and the
western country, some decades ago
counseled -go west, young man." SO
many men have obeyed and are
obeying this Injunction that the
west now presents . happy hunt
ing ground" for women seeking
marriage. according TO Frederick
Amigo. of Nevada
So today Mr.. Amigo, after the
fashion of Greeley and in the in
terest of the eastern woman and
the western man, counsels "go
west, young woman, go west" for
there the harvest of good husbands
is good and only awaits the reapers
who are to bring Joy to western
rnasculinity, who are anxious and
eager to be reaped.
Mr.. Amigo, a bachelor mining
engineer, is stopping at the Florida
annex. while here on business and
pleasure. He says that while Ne
vada is commonly considered the
goal of every unhappily married
person seeking separation that. IL
better advertised. 1t might also be
the goal for those (women, of
course) seeking happy marriage,
for Amigo declares that Nevada
men, like all western men. are
neither wild nor woody as is some
times believed by many ignorant of
the west, but on the contrary they
are unusually courteous and consid-
crate and appreciative of the in
fiuence of women. and are really
not at all uncouth, but have quite
as much culture as his eastern
brother
RELIEVES WESTERN
MEN ARE SUPERIOR.
Man for man." asserts Amigo.
the westerner is superior to the
easterner in many ways. The mere
fact that he is a westerner shows
that he has unusual initiative and
enterprise, for otherwise he would
not have severed ties and gone
west"
After a pause Amigo continued,
think that the west was settled, in
the earlier days particularly. by
men who were failures in the east.
but that is erroneous just as are
many eastern beliefs concerning the
west. A little thought and common
sense will show that just the oppo-
site must be true"
Mr.. Amigo. believes that much
will -
effort of the west for a federal poll
icy toward reclamation. Especial
ly will this assured irriga tion be
of value to Nevada" said he, "for
now it is about the driest state in
the union-so dry that We can offer
no inducements for a Baptist to To-
cate in our State. II one gets set
tied there before he realizes thor
oughly the situation he is forced to
change his religious belief or else
dwell in doubt concerning the fu-
ture status of his soul. Irrigation
will change all of this and will
make Nevada a much more salts
factory place for all sects.-
OFFERS OPPORTUNITY
FOR POLITICAL AMBITION.
Nevada people enjoy another
peculiar privilege political one.
/ mean by that that the citizen in
Nevada exerts after a fashion more
political power than the citizen of
any other states. You see Nevada
has a population less than 100, 900
possibly not greater than a few of
your suburbs, yet we have two SEN
ators to represent us in the senate,
and. Of course, We have our repre-
sentation in the house of represent
atives. So that, II you have politi-
cal ambitions. go to Nevada-that is
II you are of the right sort and
have the right type Of politics, for,
mind you, Nevada will not tolerate
any Of the other kind
When asked about political
movements in the west, Mr.. Amigo
declared that Fundamentally they
were the same as those existing in
the eastern states. About the only
exception. he declared. was the nom
partisan league. which, he said, had
considerable following in some Of
the western states
The west. however, in the last
election went overwhelmingly re-
publican. following the trend Of the
balance of the nation.
DECLARES FREIGHT
RATES ARE TOO HIGH.
The west is particularly inter-
ested at present." Mr.. Amigo added
''in the question of freight rates.
Rates are entirely too high and I
believe the railroads themselves
will concede that along certain
lines there must be a reduction. A
reduction will help the railroads as
well as the public. for empty cars
do not bring profits to the railroads.
The more box cars that are stocked
with goods to be transported the
better for the railroads and the
better for the farmers and the ma
tion as whole. Much of our
freight can be sent cheaper to the
most remote parts OF the world
than they can to parts of our own
country"
