Show LIKE LONDON'S STREETS. arass Won't Grow In Tonopah, Nevada, Nev-ada, Under Any Conditions. Con-ditions. The city of Tonopah, Nov., has all modern Improvements oxrept watered lawns ami street pavements. There is some talk of paving and it is sure to come In time. It will bo some time, however. Bays ft local account, before there will bo any parks or (lowers or green grass. Ambitious ns la tho desert, thtiso luxuries will have to be omitted. There nro clubs, hotels, libraries, high-priced high-priced restaurants, livery stableB and garages, nnd a swell opera house Is In contenplatlon, but green grass never! It won't grow. It wouldn't grow If an awning was placed uvor tho wholo spot and the lender shoots watored every few horns. After they hnve spent a year In the desert and are taken out, chlldien, and oven grown folks, simply go wild with delight ns they roll In the beautiful grass of tho first field they como across. With all the wealth nnd happiness of the desert, this Is one thing thnt must be forgotten. It Is all right when one Is ninklnc; -"oney nnd paying bill- by check through tho mnll; one can forego green grass and foliage; but about the time the Mannings fall nnd the stocks go down, the hateful bill collector pokes his head In tho door of the cheerless cheer-less cabin nnd there Is no Joy In Tonopah Tono-pah any more than there was in Mud-vlllo Mud-vlllo whon "Casey struck out." Hut such a sorry pl-ture Is faroff. |
