These two improvements can be fig
ured out with the roads problem, and
the general method is issuing bonds
and so arranging local government
not be raised. or, il they are, to an
insignificant degree. 1t can be done.
and the necessary things to accom-
plish it are brains and work-mostly
work.
Another thing that may require
years of work is irrigation. Hum
boldt county has many excellent sites
for irrigation projects. More brains
and more work will get government
assistance, but boosting and continual
organized agitation are necessary.
Plenty of people here will tell you
irrigation from the Humboldt even is
impossible. They'll say they can't see
how the water can be raised, or saved,
and if it can be saved that it will sink
into the sand of the desert. The
| writer has also observed the before
and after of irrigation projects in
Oregon, Arizona and New Mexico, and
If the government can expend few
millions on desert sands of Arizona
and New Mexico and make garden
spots where nothing existed except
tarantulas and centipedes, not even
sagebrush. it's our guess a success
can be made here. This alone would
bring the population of Winnemucca
to the ten thousand mark.
Then there is the matter of parks
and civic enterprises of every sort
making this a place people will want
to come to and make their homes.
The word picture we have tried to
draw of the growth of one city is of
+ course rosy in complexion. and 1t
/ looks good on paper. Don't think the
nine years passed have been easy on

time and money have been amply re-
paid, and repaid in the good coin of
the realm. One comparison occurs,
and that is the matter of doing away
with the grating element.
People who had waxed fat on the
patronage of the county set up the
cry that doing away with the bad
spots would cause grafters to leave
town and business would be seriously
affected. "Hangers-on" were one ele-
ment they pointed to, and the cry was
set up that they spend money" in the
town. The directors didn't seem to
realize that the money thus taken by
these men would be spent by the peo-
pie anyhow. 1t turned out that bills
were paid with more regularity anC
people who had not had money to
spend before were noticed in the

has served at the rate of $500 per

was levied on him for assisting in the
escape o the two prisoners on New
Years eve. He nof has to serve 60
days in the county Jail and pay fine
of $3.50 for having booze in a public
building. 1t Is expected that he will
be out of the county Jail in May.

stores. And then the DIRECTORS said
of course, they knew it-when the
grafters made a bunch of money they
went ito the city" to spend 1t, and
after 1t was stopped the people spent
it at home, and the objector was d.
rectly benefited. Also afterwards
these same directors said they knew
how it would all turn out and they'd
been for it all the time. but were
afraid of losing certain business.
They actually lost business, however.
because respectable people who keep
watch of these things. but seldom do
much talking, set them down as sym
pathisers of the crude element and
unworthy of patronage.
So it goes. Experience Is the best
teacher. This line of reasoning will
undoubtedly meet with opposition.
but the ideas contained and the OBJ
servations noted of experiences in
other places are put forward for the
benefit of those who have not hereto
fore seriously considered the matter.

what they're worth.

boosting that gets the results, and re-
suits are what we're all looking for

ENTHUSIASM SHOWN
At CHAMBER MEET
Continued from Page One)


About chat time a trade-at-home cam
paign was started and carried to such
ends people would go home by back
alleys rather than be seen coming out
of the postoffice with a package.
About this time the retired long
hairs who owned property in the city
commenced to take notice. They found
the merchants had prospered to such
an extent they were enlarging their
business establishments, and choice
business lots were in demand, and
rents mounted Said the old-timer,
What's the cause of this?" And he
found out it was organization. So for
personal gain he became a booster.
Prior to that first successful COM
munity meeting which the wise old
judge had called there had been
keen and bitter business rivalry, the
crooks and gamblers and saloon men
with their political power; and banks
had tried to swallow each other up.
What they were all fighting for was
the almighty dollar. But the first
thing an experienced, imported secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce
told them. and newspaper man at
that, was to clean up their town so
that people would want to live there
and bring up families there. And he
made them see it. Business increased
generally and no one had time to
knock the other fellow-they were too
busy counting their money and at
tending to pressing business. And
the community meetings, under direc-
ton of the Chamber of Commerce

railrbau has entered the territory,
opening up new trade channels. To
show the frame of mind the people
are in is proven by the fact that ce-
ment sidewalks have taken the place
of all the old wooden sidewalks, every
street is paved for a distance of eight
miles from the center of town in. each
direction.
The county prospered likewise and
the growth in population must be
large, though figures are not known

cipal benefit to the farmers at first.
permitting quick trips to the city
They also enabled farmers to culti-
vate land which was heretofore un-
profitable because it was too difficult
TO get the product to market. One
greatly appreciated feature of the
good roads, too was that they per-
mitted quick trips to the city to
take in shows and social events,
which also increased circulation of
money in the city.
In Winnemucca we believe the
same condition exists and that it can
be remedied in the same way. Dur
ing recent days two men have asked
what the Chamber of Commerce can
do, and only last night one of them
followed it up by the remark that
It's an expensive proposition. | sup
pose, though, they can get everything
done within a year." apparently
meaning he could stand the expense
pressure for that length of time, per-
haps, and thereafter the chamber
could disband with all the good ac-
eomplished that can be accomplished
Another question in the minds OF
some is where the ranchers and peo-
pie outside of Winnemucca come into
the proposition, and why support can
be expected of them.
Why, the matter OF good roads alone
| can easily take up more than years
earnest effort on the part of everyone
And every rancher will tell you he'll
contribute good and literally for that
cause. Winnemuccans viii wonder
100, after good roads are here, why
they didn't spend many times the
AMOUNT necessary to maintain the
organization, long ago-good roads
alone will quickly return it to then
many times. And that's the spot
where country people get interested
If it is impressed upon them that eff
tort is to be made to secure roads
