4 STRONG KICK

Ask ten persons what is the
strongest animal force IN the
world and nine will reply that it is
a blow from a lion s paw. The
tenth may have a checkered career
and express the belief based on ex-
perieEce, that it is a kick of q
Missouri mule. AS matter of
fact, the blow of a whales tail is
incomparably the strongest animal
force; a blow delivered by a full
grown whale placed at just the
right distance would smash in the
side of a wooden ship as though it
we're an egg shell. The second strong
est force is the kick of a giraffe
and this terrible kick is very ade-
quate protection to these otherwise
helpless animals. The stroke of a
lions paw comes third on the list.
President Taft can make
affidavit that the kick of the Bull
Moose can also be delivered with
disastrous effect.-Exchange.

"a NARROWING TRIP
OVER PRECIPITOUS HEIGRTS

Frank Rountree who has been
the side partner of Sheriff Harris
upon tour delivering the ballot
boxes throughout the county gives
some "take-your-Dreath away"
accounts of speeding nver the
Jarbidge mountain roads where
the narrow stretches looking down
into space several thousand feet
must be made at high speed in
order to get sufficient movement
OF the auto to generate the power
required for the pull. Frank says
it "gets your goat" to :ook over a
precipice into such space below
when running around these sharp
curves at the rate nearly of the
Overland limited. and you just can't
go slow and make the grades. He
tells of place the Sheriff got
stalled and had to back his cart
down the mountain side a distance
of four hundred yards to make a
run for the hill.
The county commission, who
built these roads certainly had
some nerve so Rountree thinks.

AUTO ROAD

The secretary of Good Roads

last week to this city and in a most

pointed out the very great need

A plan is now being projected
to build road from Salt Lake City

land some good route is desired to
put through the entire county
touching Elko. but without some
assistance from the county Mr..
Simonsen helives the Southern

entail tourists for as he puts it a

business is growing steadily; rhe
Overland and Kissel Kar are the
cars sold by this company, Mr.. A.
J. Simcox foreman and expert auto
machinist is now visiting the plants
in Detroit and Toledo inspecting
the new models for 1918.
Mr.. Simonsen is not only a
booster of the transcontenental
auto road to come through Elko
because he expects it to build up
his business. but he is CORRECT in
his assumption that these travellers
all spend money with the hotels
and the merchants, and if our good
county commissioners can see their
way clear to spend some Of the
money to make good road and
put up some sign posts to show
these autoists the way through
