Visions, who has not had visions

ions 1t fingers at the side of the road
Someone said, Where no vision is,
the people PERISH" and Fallon is not
In the perishing class. This is said to
bolster up the hope that the juicy
mud that Gibbs and fows as the tide
OF the lowlands, will make way for
pavements that invite not only the
townsman and his neighbor from the
farm, but the man from the other
side of our imaginary border. For o
week the people have ridden, driven
and almost swan the liquid streets
OF this city, and while each has O
scheme defeating Nature In her retail
iation for mussing up her face, yet
none have solved the problem. When
summer comes one is prone to forget
the ooze of today and the tracks of
his fellow men across Kents store.
Out here where the west begins
we all vision something better an
other winter.
To one who has trecked the desert
OF Nevada, has spread his prayer mat
and placed hair rope about it under
the delusion that a rattler won't
crawl over, trees make an appeal
People who linger under the shadow
OF their own trees, be 1t fig or cot
tonwood, are prone to forget it's
baneful influence. There is one
the finest avenues of cottonwoods
gracing Williams Avenue, in this city
that can be found In the whole of the
west. The are gnarled old fellows,
some OF 'em pretty badly butchered,
but as a whole they raise their
mighty arms to Allah and spread a
benediction to those who are FORUM
ate to rest under the free shade in
the summer. Then there is a lone
giant up few blocks from the Stan
dard office. 1t is either "he" tree
or the matron Of the whole flock of
fellows that are over a little further
where the bungalows flourish. A lot
Of new trees are noted up and down
the residential sections, and its a
good sign. They help extend the in
vitation to the world that there is
something more than just existing,
may they rival the kings on the
avenue.
There is nothing like being discov-
credit kind Of makes one feel good
Some days ago the Notator was dis
covered as he came into town. He
didn't know that there was a hotel
in the place as none was chronicled
in the papers of Fallon, SO he just
guessed that there would be a place
to cuddle up and rest over. Instead
there was a man at the depot, and as
soon as he spied the grip, followed by
the man, he discovered the two of us,
and just naturally took us aboard
OF course the old REQ sputtered and
ratified bit about it. but it finally
crawled out of a wallow and we were
shown the light. We have watched
Mat discover other men and a few
women, provided the other hotel man
didn't locate first, but the method of
discovery seems crude when printers
ink is sold at reasonable prices.
While down at the creamery some
days past. one of the most up-to-date
plants In Nevada was shown. About
a ton of real butter was being
thumped and rolled and squoze into
cases that it might go to Los Angeles
to feed the Angels, and why not, its
the best In the west and gets the best
price. While all this was being alb
sorbed into mentality along goes a
truck loaded with tin cans, great
big ones, and we asked Mr.. Brown
what 1t could be, and he told us that
1t was cream being sent to Reno or
some other foreign port where they
make butter, not as good as that of
Fallon. Now Mr.. Brown might have
been spoofing, but just as sure as
this is written those tin cans looked
like they held cream. and IL they did,
just SO many dollars we're set out Of
Failon. There is a gear loose some
where in the COW game.
Fallon Is possibly the one city In
western Nevada where the dollars
don't escape on the staff Of life. For
time 1t became fad to nourish up
on San Francisco bread, greatly to
the discomfort of the local bakers
bank roll. 1t was found that they
either went out of business or that
the habit OF sending the elusive dol
lars to the coast must cease. The re-
suit was that the merchants handling
the bread line decided to cut the
orders. and two bakers now flourish
where both were threatened with
joining the ancient order of dodos.
II this can be done on bread, and the
housewife knead the dough from La
hontan flour, why not go a little
deeper and trim the orders on other
things. 1t is money that makes the
wheels go round, and If you don't
believe 1t Just look at some of the
lights that failed.
