COUNTY MAKES GOOD BARGAIN
Warden Baker Finishes Work on
Kings Canyon Moves Men to
Lake View Camp

| day. He took the road as matter
of inspection. He states that thu
county made very good bargain
with the state when they commenced
work this season. Others who went
over the road at the same time were
of the same opinion. Naturally there
is a chance tor further Improvement
on the road. 1t is intended late this
fall to placee the road in condition to
guard against winter damage. Early
next spring crew will be set to
work on the route and more improve
ments will be added, making it the
finest mountain road in this section
OF Nevada.
10 the stayat home people all the
road work that has been INDUCED in
is regarded as somewhat tiresome.
10 those who have watched the
string OF autos come through this
year it is gratifying result. More
machines have visited this city and
county in the past two months than
at any time in the history of West
ern Nevada, From this season on it
is going to be a matter OF competi-
ton between the new roads out of
Reno, the Kingsbury road in Douglas
County and the Kings Canyon route
from this city. With the proper at
tention given the road leading from
the Capital to Glenbrook this city
will have the call on the business
The Kingsbury grade is ten-mile
uphill drag through sand, and the
Clear Creek road is impossible to
the best high-power machines, while
the Kings Canyon grade is compare
lively easy With Glenbrook becom-
ing one of the most popular resorts
on Tahoe it will naturally lead TO
many parties coming to this section,
which is but an hours drive from the
Lake resort. The county made a
good bargain with the state on road
work and can further improve condi-
tions. The experiment is a success

FIGHT RATES

Chicago, Aug.S-Traffic officers oI
the trancontinental lines IN session
here today discussed methods of Off
setting the deficit which will result
from the recent intrstate commerce
commission ruling inter mountaiI1
rates. Those at the meeting discuss
ed the advisability OF an appeal to the
new commerce court After sub
committees had been appointed, ad-
journment was taken until to-mor-
row
1t was announced at the meeting
that commercial bodies on both
the Atlantic and Pacific seaboard
will urge the railroads to fight the
new rates. The old rate amounted TO
the Pacific Coast rate plus the rate
back to the destination
The rate ordered by the Commis
sion is the Pacific Coast rate plus
seven per cent on Chicago shipments
and Is per cent on Atlantic Coast
shipments.
Eastern shippers say this will give
middle western merchants a great ad-
vantage in shipping TO mountain
points.

THE STATE WOULD BORROW RELIEF MONEY
BEEF
BY EXPRESS

One of the peculiar conditions
noted lately is the regular ship
ment of dressed beef and other meats
tt the butchers by Wells Fargo. This
morning there was a consignment
shipped to Minden. another lot arriv-
ed in this City.
There is something queer with con
ditions when stock can be shipped
out OF Carson Valley and this Val
ley to Reno, where il is slaughtered
and the same animals reshipped in
ket.
Practically all the early vegetable
are shipped to this section from Cali
fornia, the express company handl-
ing the major part OF it. Even spuds
have been shipped in by express. Can
telopes are steady shipment to this
section from California The Las We
gas melons go the other way and ne
er reach this neck Of the world
commission in this Valley for year,
has been closed permanently. The
other IS being run only when stock
can be secured for butcher
The trouble has been that the hon,
butcher is outbid by the big buyers
who take everything in sight The
home butcher has to go to the whole
saler for his product and the con
sumner has to pay the express and
freight charges, in many cases both
ways. The shipment Of beef to Car
son Valley, where thousands of head
OF beef are raised annually is con
dition that should make the valley
pople take notice. Ii would appear
that they could consolidate and do
some pretty good packing house bu
siness on their own hook
Last winter half OF the hogs that
were sold in this section came from
Illinois and Missouri. They were
shipped from the big packing houses
and the freight had to be paid by the
consumer There is a topsi-turvy con-
dition existing throughout Nevada
and it is said that the same condition
prevails in many towns in California.
1t looks like the small slaughter
house is doomed, and the man with
an appetite will have to figure SO
much pound to Wells Fargo and
the railroads for the meat that he eats

Warden Baker, who has had ten
men on the Kings Canyon road, has
broken the camp and taken the men
and trappings to Lakeyiew, where
the work of building the new rood is
in progress.
In the two months that the men
were employed on the Kings Canyon
road the best lot of road repairing
that this county has had in years re
suited. Kings Canyon has been re-
garded as dangerous road for years
TO teams and autos, mainly from the
fact that there were few places pro-
vided for passing vehicles. The men
employed on the road have overcome
this difficulty. Wherever it was prac-
teal there has beeen made turnout
sufficient in every case for an auto or
team to pass. The road in nt,..
places was Widened. high centers
were trimmed down and the low
places brushed and filed SO that there
is good road for either team or
auto.
The road will not be popular with
the horse drivers mainly from the
fact that it is several miles longer
than the Clear Creek road to Glen
brook. On the other hand the mat
ter OF cuple OF miles does not make
much difference to an auto party
1t is true that the scenery along the
Kings Canyon is superior in every
way to that Of Clear Creek, and it is
the only safe grade for the auto
drivers. Those teaming over the
Clear Creek route complain that au
1os continue to use that road. A sign
should be placed at the head Of the
roads directing the auto drivers. A
both roads start at the summit il is a
guess with the stranger which one to
take. and it is only chance that di
rects him to the proper route for
,afety and convenience

bank be induced 10 loan the sum oi
two hundred thousand dollars. which
will be necessary TO carry ile propo
sition through, and the rate OF inter
est be fixed on friendly basis, it will
not only save the credit of the State
but will also save the merchants and
others vast sums OF interest money
| that would otherwise go to the banks.
PLAN is ABANDONED
ast Week the members OF the va
rious boards held a meeting i'll the
hopes OF being able to transfer the

Fund legitimate interest it would not

| found impossible to handle the school
| money The law refused to be bent
| even to accommodate the entire state.
| This plan was abandoned and the on,

USELESS SECRECY
| The Appeal, exclusively, some days

OF the State was exhausted This was

the matter. What was learned and
published had to be gathered as a

State Every bill presented and al
lowed from the General Fund will be
trimmed by the loan sharks unless
the State is able to make some snci

lit is to be hoped will terminate in tl'
statehood being able to receive tn,
friendly loan. 1t matters not ii 1t !
