SAN PEDRO AND SHORT LINE
SETTLE NEVADA CONTEST
Agree to a Selection of Parallel Routes by Joint
Survey
Will Use Joint racage Where Canyons Are Too Narrow For Two
Roads Construction Work Suspended.

Of right does not amount to much &C
cording to the arrangement, as the 9TH
er road viii also be given a line
through the narrow canyons. The de-
cisions viii be merely to decide tech
meal methods of procedure.
Uvada Claim Abandoned.
In this connection it is stated official
~ that the san Pedro has abandoned
all claims TO the grade between Cal
lentes and Uvada, as was unOficially
stated in The Herald some time ago.
The Clark forces plan to run the main
line of their road through Phoebe, leaY-
ing the Short Line in undisputed pos
session of the stretch of road between
Uvada and Calientes. The grade be-
tween Phoebe and Calientes is of i'm
pOrtance to the San Pedro This is
included in the agreement for a joint
survey. Condor canyon, on this route,
is the only way for a road "a get
through the country, and the prospects
, are that a joint line Will be maintained
there.
The San Pedro has only one chance
Of being a factor again in the Uvada-
Calie1tes gTade. The county still
claims the tax title. Should the state
court sustain this claim, the San Pedro
could BID on this title at the sale and
force the Short Line to pay a high price
for it. or take in the grade itself. The
tax title matter also figures in the
Phoebe Galleries grade
The route between Phoebe and Cal
ientes is thirty-One miles in length.
The line in controversy beyond Cal
ientes extends lis miles. From the end
of this distance to the California line
is a fat, open country with plenty of
room for both roads. In the lis miles
about fifteen are through narrow can
yOns. where a joint road will be nee
essary.
About 400 men viii be temporarily
thrown out Of work in Nevada, but
many more than that number will be
needed as soon as the controversy is
finally settled. At present the San
Pedro has completed twelve miles of
grade at a cost of S1J5.OO0, while the
Short LiEe has accomplished about as
much below Calientes-
The joint survey viii be in charge of
Assistant Chief Engineer H. NJ. Nc
CARNEY for the san Pedro and Resi-
dent Engineer William Ashton for the
Short Line. Work viii be commenced
as soon as possible and it is not IN
likely that the task can be completed
within thirty days In that event.
the cases viii be brought to a hearing
before February, the time now set.

A Suggestion On Gates.

Many people are in the habit of max
ing gates wide enough through which
to pass with any kind of farm machin-
cry. This is very handy but have
found that when gate must be opened
very often we have to take a good many
extra steps, so we fell upon another
plan. Where gate must be used often
we make two gates-one wide and one
narrow. Ordinarily We use the wide
gate and when we want to 90 through
with the binder or some wide machin-
cry we open both gates This is the
way we fasten them: Make box two
or three feet long Of good timber and
just large enough to slip in sawed
post four or five inches square. Set
this box in the ground where the gates
join and let it project an inch or so
above the ground so mud will not wash
in it when it rains. Saw the middle
post just long enough to reach the top
of the gates when it is dropped in the
box. This will afford solid center
post and can be removed in moment
without cutting good wire fence to
get through with big gmachinery.-De
