NEW YORK CITY AND STATE._
New York State and New York City live together like a
husband and wife who really love each other more than the
man loves any other woman, or the woman loves any other man,
but the woman flares up and threatens to go back to mother
evey time the old man comes home drunk, and the old man gets
mad and swears the old lady is trying to ruin him every time the
wife orders a new gown and hat.
In the old days when the Genesse valley was “away out
west,” the people in that valley wanted to have their country
set off as a state by itself; when Sumter was fired' upon Fernan
do Wood, then mayor of New York City, in a message to the city
council, wanted the city to secede and declare itself a free city,
offering as a bribe the proposition that a small tax on imports
would pay all the running expenses of the city. He had in his
mind the money that would come in, in his heart he wanted to
serve in a skulking way tin* cause of the Confederacy.
After the great war the New York legislators from the
country, have learned the trick to work the chief city of the
state for revenue.
This causes friction every year when it comes tax paying
time.
The truth is that New York City has been the receptacle of
the surplus money of the whole country for thirty years past.
If men have grown very rich anywhere in the country they
have gravitated there; those not so rich have sent their money
there to be invested. One would think the way to bridge things
over would be to more thoroughly collect the income tax and to
tax the idle millions always on deposit there, and thus have
more money with which to pay taxes.

A CITY WORTH BOOMING.
The Commercial club of Reno, Nov., has started out in a
quiet way to boom that city.
They have many advantages. Reno is the entry port from
the west of a great mining state, perhaps the greatest of mining
states .Formerly the profits from the mines gravitated directly
to San Francisco. The old glory of that city was but the ma
terialization of the bullion of Nevada transmitted into fine
structures, splendid estates and accumulated treasures. Now
a fair proportion of that wealth stops at Reno.
There are reasons for it. Reno has flowing through it the
finest little river in all the west; a river with energy enough to
supply power and light for a great city and unlimited manu
fasturers. Tin* water from it likewise makes all the valley
around the city luxuriant. Nevada has always been a great
range state and her tillable area is increasing rapidly. She is
soon to be a rich agricultural state and is now a diary state the
product of which command's a premium over all others of like
kind in San Francisco.
Working men can toil in Reno every day in the year in the
open air without discomfort.
It has the finest climate for active men in the whole west.
It has none of the fogs of San Francisco; none of the depressing
features of the heavy moist air of southern California.
A two hours’ ride from Reno takes one to Lake Tahoe, the
glory of which has no rival the world around’.
Nevada is steadily growing, her people are filled with hope,
and Reno is their natural depot.
The University of Nevada is there and is steadily gaining
in prominence, usefulness and excellence.
Reno has railroad connections north, west, east an dsouth.
An investment there* should be safer than in the Bank of
England today.
It is about the cheapest place to live in, in all the west.
It is but a few hours distance from the seashore.
Just by telling the truth about Reno her people can make
their city boom.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
As soon as the Germans began to use poison gases against
the Allies Sir William Ramseav, one of Britain’s foremost
scientists, went to Flanders, made a study of the effects of the
gases and returned with complete data, analyses of this chemi
cal constitutents and antidotes for the fumes. German devices
for throwing liquid fire are considered hardly loss deadly than
tin* asphyxiating bombs. Some receptacles for them are car
ried 0:1 men’s backs like fire extinguishers; others are small
metal cylinders carried' in the hand. One of the devices pro
posed to the British government was an “F-Ray,” of stunning
a whole army with a vast electric shock.
There is every probability of a clam factory being estab
lished at Cordova, as Mr. Sprague, of Oregon, who has made an
investigation of the clam beds in this section is very enthusias
tic over the outlook and as soon as he returns to the states will
take the matter up with his associates and feels confident that in
the near future work will begin on a plant here.
