Editor, The Silver State: How true
1t Is that 1.-THE public quickly forgets. ="
Already we find men and women who
were shocked extremely when brave
Jack Nelson died, ready now to forget
his sacrifice In pursuit Of his duty and
willing to allow conditions to return
as they were before he started his
noble work. For my part shall never
forget him nor his enemies.
Now that plans are going forward
for a public observance of Memorial
Day I think 1t only fitting that on this
day special attention be paid to Nell
sons sacrifice for the city of Winnie
mucca and the people in 1t. He gave
up his life in protection Of you and I
and it is not right that We should
forget that fact SO easily.
Mr.. Editor, / am in favor of monu-
ment of some sort to the memory of
Jack Nelson. I believe the people Of
this city should publicly acknowledge
so that all who come in future may
know, the actions of the brave dead
man.
For this purpose you may put me
down as a subscriber of $40 toward
memorial for Jack Nelson. will
hand you this amount any time you
request it. leaving the matter of get
ting further subscriptions in your
hands. l believe this should be done
and am willing to contribute this much
and more II necessary to see it ac-
complished. Yours truly.

Why not have new telephone d.
rectory? 1t has occurred to the writer
upon numerous occasions, after trying
several times to locate a party by
phone, that new directory might
come in handy. In most instances
when the number in the directory Is
called. central sweetly replies that
there is no such number or that that
number has been changed to 5916734
or some similar amount, and that that
party does not answer.
or course we don't mean this for a
kick exactly, we can stand 1t as long
as the telephone girls can, and we
are never in hurry anyhow, but are
just curious to know why the old d.
rectory ia thought SO much of.
