Mark Twain was his private secre-
tary at that time and it was this
trip to Nevada that furnished the
material for "Roughing 1t" and
other short stories written in later
years.

and will not permit a higher speed.
The present schedule from Ogden
to San Francisco is thirty-fve hours.

STRICTLY PERSONAL OPINION
agree or not it, but think for grant to
others the privilege.

Publication of the "new column"
in the last issue of The Silver State
brought forth verbal comment from
several people. They all want to
know exactly what the ultimate
plan of the editor is, and a few
came close to guessing it, but as to
that we have nothing definite to
say at this time. The principal
thing is the knowledge that the
column is being read and will be
read. and that one object sought to
be accomplishments start thinking
is a fact. The rest will come
later. Now that we have gone that
far it would be great to go further
and in some manner induce readers
to put their thoughts on paper for
publication, similar to the manner
they are now expressed verbally.
Then we'd all have a definite basis
upon which to work.
