Carson will be the mobilization and
training headquarters for government
and state troops. The Appeal has been
in possession of information of this
nature for some time that the frequent
visits of General Manager Ardery to
Francisco was for the purpose of doing
what he could for Carson along these
lines.
Today an Appeal representative called
upon Mr. Ardery and asked him if there
was anything that he had to give out
in the way of news regarding this
matter and in reply Air. Ardery wrote
out the following statement for publi
cation :
"In connection with the movement to
have Carson designated as one of the
mobilization centers in the organization
of the new army, the- subject was
brought to the attention of General
Manager Ardery of the Virginia &
Truckee Railway company; it was
found that for some time past the rail
road officials were aware that Carson
had been selected as a mobilization
point, and through the Special Com
mittee on National Defense, of which
Fairfax Harrison, of the Southern Rail
way, is president and William Spoule,
ot tne csouuiern i acme company, is
chairman of the Western Department,
have given to the government every as
surance of loyal support and earnest
cooperation in facilitating the 'handling
of troops and military supplies over the
line. The cordial assistance of both
Nevada Will Soon Be Busy In an
Effort to Increase Its Productions
Acting on requests from the United
States Department of Agriculture and
after correspondence with the Agri
cultural Extension Division of the
University of Nevada, Governor Boyle
yesterday sent out invitations to six of
the representative men in agricultural
lines in the state asking thc.m to serve
on a committee of food resources dur
ing the present war emergency.
The committee will be organized as
soon as possible after acceptances are
received and the first meeting will be
held at the Commercial Club in Reno
on April 25. The general object of
the committee is to "investigate, de
vise and carry out ways and means to
of Nevada's senators at Washington
lias been enlisted in behalf of this city
and it would appear that much has
been accomplished to further its in
terests." This is the first positive information
that has reached the Carson public con
cerning this matter. And it means
much to this city, its business men and
its prosperty. The mobilization of
troops is not. it is thought, to be just
confined to Nevada troops alone, but
those from all parts of the United
States. The headquarters once estab
lished it is more likely to become per
manent than temporary is the general
opinion.
The advantages of Carson have been
fully gone into by the war department,
it has the location, the best of water
and above all an ideal climate. Is with
in an hour's ride of the leading trans
continental railway system and only a
night's ride to the Pacific coast, making
the transportation of troops to and from
Carson City an easy matter.
Manager Ardery is and has always
been a firm believer in Carson City and
its future and has never lost an oppor
tunity to further its claims for recog
nition in any enterprise.

Dustin Farnum, "The
Parson of Panamint"
Once in a great while comes a photo
play that reaches all hearts. A photo
play that makes a never-to-be forgotten
impression. Such an achievement is
the new Pallas-Paramount production
coming to the Grand theater tonight.
Dustin Farnum, the Pallas picture
star, portrays the parson in "The Par
son of Panamint," the lion-hearted
shepherd of a strange appearing flock,
the friend of the friendless, the broken
hearted, the rough miner and the sodden
derelict. To the ones to whom life
has been short of its pretty adornments
and amenities, comes this six-foot stal
wart, and his tragic life makes a screen
drama that is incomparably fascinat
ing. ,
