Renoites Abroad
The Journal is in receipt of a copy of the Daily Eaglet,
published at Milton, Umatilla county, Or. Its publishers and proprietors are Mr.
and Mrs. H.L. Bowmer. The paper is small, but is a splendid illustration of the
truth of the saying that "precious things come in small parcels," and is well
named the Eaglet, for its columns show that it has a bright eye open for the
good of the country which supports it. Harry and his wife (nee Miss Minnie Mann)
are both well known in Reno. Harry served his apprenticeship in the Journal
office, and is one of the few Reno boys who have made their mark abroad.
Continued success to him and his worthy wife in their new home. (Sub. Shauna
