Governor John Sparks JOHN SPARKS, present Governor of the State of Nevada, was born in Winston county, Mississippi, August 30, 1843. He came to Nevada in 1868, during the White Pine excitement, and located permanently in Elko county in 1881, engaging in farming and stock raising. In 1889 he moved to Reno. Since then, besides the cattle business, Governor Sparks has been largely interested in mining; the Wedekind property he purchased in 1901. Our Governor ' s life on the Texas frontier was one of extreme hardship. For four years during the civil war period he fought against the many wild tribes that infested the country. In 1875 he was commissioned as Captain of the North Platte Guards. He assisted in the subjugation of the Sioux and Cherokee Indians. Throughout President Grant ' s administration he saw hard service. Like all men, however strenuous their lives, he fell a victim to Cupid ' s unerring eye, and was married in 1879. The first man in Nevada is a striking figure. Tall, with piercing dark eyes and broad shoulders, he looks not unlike some Roman soldier clad in the garments of the twentieth century.

OUR months of constant effort have at last borne fruit and the Artemisia of 1903 is open to your perusal. In publishing the Artemisia we have tried, so far as lay in our power, to break away from the beaten path followed by our predeces- sors. That air of sameness which characterizes many annuals becomes monotonous, and takes away the charm of expectation with which the University waits for the real chronicler of the year ' s doings. Our one aim has been originality. If our readers think we have accomplished this, well and good ; if otherwise, we care not, for the opinion of a college community is too fickle to receive much consid- eration. Those who have been immortalized by the Josh Editors should be gratified, and not seek to do these overworked individuals bodily injury. In defiance of all precedent, we take this opportunity of apologizing to the Faculty for our many shortcomings, but deep down in our hearts we know that, had we to live them again, our college years would be spent with the same disregard to decorum that we have already shown. ♦ O C3 C C3 C } d} %fi)j fi) %n)i ' div
