He says he built a bungalow on Plumas street, "at 720 Plumas I think." He recalls now his house was the last town stop on the old Mo-ana Springs street car line. He later sold the house to Margaret Emerson McKim, whose father was Col. Emerson of Bromo-Selt-zer fame. "When I was Mr. Eager remarked, "the population was about 10,000, including the Indians." He recalls that Reno was a "tough town" in those days.

An office associate, he says, wanted to go down Mill street to visit his girl, who lived near the old Virginia and Truckee right-of-way.
