Tourist Has Kind Words
for Free Camping Grounds
The municipal camp grounds have
become one of the most valuable assets
of Carson City. Few people realize the
importance of them and cannot unless
they pay a visit there, see the number
of cars parked every night and inter
view the campers as to what they think
of them.
Arthur Lawrence of Delta, Utah,
with his family and friends, who has
had an enforced stay in Carson for over
a week on account of repairs on his
car, has this to say in an interview :
"Carson people do not realize what
an asset your camp grounds are to your
city. It is a pleasure and a comfort to
camp there, the water, the trees, the
Bungalow and the conveniences for
campers are not surpassed anywhere,
let alone the location with its scenic
view of the mountains and the sur
rounding country. During my stay,
there have been as high as twenty
campers there over night. Part of this
number, who on arriving here intend
ed only stop over night, have prolonged
their stay from two to three days, and
visited the state prison, Carson hot
springs, Virginia City and other points
of interest in and around Carson City

CHILD RUN OVER ON
MAIN STREET BY AUTO
Irene, the little daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. M. J. Burr, was run over on Car
son street this morning by an auto
driven by Henry Woods, and received
painful, though not serious, injury.
The accident was unavoidable so far as
the auto drier is concerned.
The child had stepped out of her
father's car in front of the Stone mar
ket and started to cross the street to
the Produce market. She stepped aside
to let one auto go by and then practic
ally ran into the Wood machine, which
was coming along at a moderate pace,
but the driver could not stop it until
the cluld was knocked down and 1oth
froont and rear wheels passed over her
body.
She was immediately taken into the
Arlington, where Dr. Jarrett gave first
aid and a little later she was taken to
her home.

For the information of the tourists
who are coming and are still here and
who enjoy the comfort of the camp
grounds we wish to say that further
and very important improvements are
yet to be made in the way of beautify
ing the grounds and additjg to the con
venience and comfort " of campers,
namely; About 100 or more shade"
trees are to be set out, an artesian well
sunk, which will provide running wa
ter all through the grounds as pure as
any water on earth, the entire front
porch of the bungalow is to be screen
ed in and more electric lights put in ;
in fact, it is going to he. when finished,
the most complete and ideal camp
grounds in the entire west. There is
nothing that Carson City and its peo
ple can do that is good enough to in
sure the comfort of tourists while visit
ing in our city that will not be done,
fur we know that it is appreciated just
as much as Carson City appreciates
their visiting the capital city.

was considered experimental, has pass
