Charleston by a hit-run driver recenty. Grant MacGregor, owner of the Tumbleweed Motel, found the deer on the side of the mountain road surrounded by 20 adult deer which apparently were standing guard over the in­jured animal. MacGregor said he had to ‘ shoo the other deer away in order to get to the youngster. He brought the fawn to the Clark County Animal Hospital on South Main street where Bernkrant made X-rays, administered penicillin, prescribed three months rest and turned the fawn over to Ronie Gay to feed MAKING . WAY .F OR PROGRESS ®y the time 1910 rolled around, five-year-old Las Vegas Was growing considerably. One of the new structures planned by W. R. Thomas was the Mesquite building on the southeast com er of First and Frem ont streets, now occupied by the Slot Ma­chine Arcade. The photo above shows the butcher shop of Tony Schwebig being dismantled to make way for the perm anent two-story structure soon to he built. Also “unhoused” by the pro­ject were Jam es G.

The present building, which rose after Tony’s Nevada Meat Mar-ket was removed, for years thrived as the M esquite Grocery, operated by M. E. “Gene” Ward one of the town’s most colorful old timers. The other shops shown in the photo are the Royal res­taurant, which had several proprietors during Its existence; the W. E.

Under the present plan, the district would buy water from the state for 50 cents per acre foot, and distribute it through­out the valley after first supply­ing Henderson and the Basic plant with an amount guaranteed to meet their needs. Thus, with revenue assured from the air corps field, the re­sort hotels, home sites along the route, North Las Vegas, the new county airport, and from Las Ve­gas if the water company is pur­chased, it has been estimated that whatever bonds are neces­sary to pay for the project can be rapidly retired.
