TONOPA All AFTER NA-
TIONAL AUTO ROAD

At the last meeting the Chamber of
Commerce appropriated 800 for the
services of an expert to select the most
feasible route for an east and west
auto road through Humboldt county.
This matter should be attended to at
once and steps taken to secure the
transcontinental highway for this
county. That the counties to the south
OF us are on the alert, is evidenced
from the following editorial, published
IN recent issue of the Tonopah
Bonanza:
Good roads are essential in the up-
building of any community. and IL
as for the purpose of furthering this
movement that the state automobile
association will hold a meeting in
Tonopah next Monday. Already the
roads of southern Nevada are in ex-
cellent condition, and with the proper
spirit backing the movement the thor
oughfares can be made second to none.
The approaching meeting should in
crease the spirit now observed in few
residents of southern Nevada and with
the proper work every man, woman
and child in the couthern counties can
be enlisted in the movement.
1t should be remembered that thous-
ands of autoists will cross the conti-
nent in the year 1915 to visit the San
Francisco exposition. The majority
will follow the transcontinental route.
Tonopah is on this route and will re-
ceive profit from the visit of the tour
lists, for in nearly every case this city
will be the stopping place for night.
The profits that will result can be easi-
" estimated. Hence it behooves the
business men of Tonopah to assist and
encourage the automobile association
in the furtherance of all plans sng-
gested.
If the people of Tonopah have no de-
sire to keep this city on the transcon-
tinental map, it should be remembered
that the northern counties are extreme
~ anxious to secure the advantage now
held by Nye county.

CAMPBELL Dis.
CUSSES APEX LAW

At the meeting of the State Bar as
sociation in Reno yesterday, one of the
principal addresses of the day was de-
llvered by Attorney l.. G. Campbell of
Wlnnemucca, who chose for his sub
Ject, Should the Apex Law Be Abol-
lshedgD This question is one of vital
interest to the mining industry of Ne
vada, as it has been the cause of a
vast amount of expensive litigation
Mr.. Campbell is perhaps as well
equipped to handle the subject as any
attorney In the state, having recently
been counsel in the case of National
Mines Company VS.. Charleston Hill
National Mining Syndicate, tried in
the Federal Court at Carson City be-
fore Judge Harrington, and won by
plaintiff. In this action the ownership
of millions of dollars worth of ore
hinged upon the apex question. Fol
lowing is brief summary of the prin-
cipal points of Mr.. Campbell's address.
In the light of present knowledge
OF vein formation, the interminable
litigation growing out of the extra
lateral system and the recollection
that in some cases violence and blood
shed have resulted from contentious
over 1T, ! am convinced that we must
change from our present system to that
OF vertical planes. Such a change can,
of course, only affect lode mining
claims located subsequent to the amen
datory act, but if, as we suspect, a
hundred claims will hereafter be To-
Gated for every one that has been To-
Gated thus far, those now located
which give to their owners vested
property right in veins ON the dip, are
negligible.
No one would contend that John
Doe should have property right in
lot l in block 2 while the wind blows
south and the aurora borealis adorns
the northern heavens. Those phenom-
ena of nature are caused by tempera-
ture and resulting reflection from ice
fields, by air pressure and moisture
and resulting refraction, and yet we
pretend with the law of the apex to
define property rights beneath the sur
face, where the phenomena are much
more diverse, and the same, yet vastly
more complex, than are those that
drive the winds to the south and set
aglow the northern lights. y

THE HORSE IN RETREAT
IN THE UNITED STATES

The impression prevails-due to the
high price which the horse commands
that, in spite of the increasing mum
Der of automobiles, more horses are in
use than ever before. This is not true,
as least so far as Massachusetts, is con-
cerned, nor is the reason for believing
that it is at all logical. In 1911, ten
thousand fewer horses were assessed
for taxation in Massachusetts, than in
1908, the total having fallen in that
short time from 174,756 to 164, 1872.
The price keeps up because raising
them, at the present qutations on grain
and hay, remains costly. But the horse
is actually on the retreat in Massachu-
setts.
Further evidence of this truth is
found in some statistics which Will
liam ID. Sohler, of the Massachusetts
Highway commission whose researches
have always commanded attention,
has recently gathered. BY count
made at 155 highway points, scattered
throughout the state, of the vehicular
traffic moving today by comparison
with that which passed the same places
in an equal period in 1909, he finds lit
tie more than half as much light horse
drawn trathc as there was three years
ago. hTe buggy is going ont. Stats
tically seen, the average per diem at
each observation point was then thirty
light vehicles. Today it is sixteen.
With heavier horse drawn carriages
the falling of has been less rapid.
There were twenty-eight a day on the
average three years ago, and seventeen
now.
The use of the automobile has IN
creased much more rapidly than that
of the road horse has fallen off. More
than 1876 per cent in three years is the
showing of increase at the stations,
making net addition to the high
way traffic of Al per cent. 1t is also
discovered that the number of pass
ing automobile trucks now amounts
to 54 per cent Of the figures for double
horse heavy teams.-Boston Herald.

AUTOMOBILES VERSUS
THE RAILROADS

From east and west come state
ments, peculiarly interesting to De
troit thai the automobile is cutting
widely into railroad passenger traffic
1t appears that this condition is so
general and so appreciable that it is
receiving personal attention from rail
road managers and superintendents
who are going to the pains of gather
ing detailed statistics on the matter.
The principal sufferers appear to be
roads that cater TO summerresort
trade and those that have branch lines
with short hauls but even some of the
big trunk lines are affected.
II is given out, for example, that
75 per cent of the arrivals at the sum
mer hotels in the White mountains are
now by motor ears, whereas In the
past they were all by rail. In many
parts of the west the proportion of
automobiles to the population is sur
p-isingly high. In Nebraska there is
one for every fortvseven persons, in
Kansas one for every ninety and in
Colorado one for every tifty-four. The
result is considerable decrease in
the amount Of short oIstance travel by
rail. For example, thirty-three out of
fftv Union Pacific station agents in
terviewed in Nebraska reported di-
minuton of receipts, and some of
them declared that the shrinkage was
rs hight as 30 per cent. Another rea-
sen assigned for the decrease in pas
serger traffic is the use of motor ears
w statesmen. particularly in districts
whore the railroad service is limited
to few trains n day. The possession
80 an anto makes the commercial trav-
o'e- hapnilv Independent of all time
cards. Still another condition which IS
sHid 10 initiate against the railroad Is
tho huving of machines by families

outing Mt a watering place They stay
IT home and help pay for their autos
Nth the railway fare they save.--De-

THE WAYS OF THE
RUSSIAN HOTEL

Writing of the great Russian city Of
Odessa in Harper Is for November, Sgd
ney Adamson tells of the somewhat
primitive arrangements of even the
modern hotels.
For our ignorance of Russia we had
the privilege of paying over twic the
legal fare for our drive to the hotel.
The porters obligingly arranged the
matter and quite cheerfully kept the
difference. How like the rest of the
worlds We felt at home at once. The
large, lofty bedchambers and corridors
of the hotels make it just possible to
live in rooms that have double Win
dows sealed with putty, which are new
er opened from the beginning OF wint
er till the spring thaw is in the air. As
there are no open fires, the only ven
tilation is from the slightly better air
of the corridors. A framed notice on
the wall informs the visitor of all the
privileges he is graciously permitted
TO pay extra for among them the JOY
Il being clean at the rate of ten CO.
ecks for Jug of hot water or fifty
opecks for bath but the greatest
mystery of all was samovar at TWEEN
ty--five eopecks In time il was dis
covered that your true Russian, having
a taste for much tea or other warm re-
freshment, rings for a lighted eamovar
ard prepares his own beverage, if he
is not fortunate enough to possess a
wife to do it for him. With the lady
managing the fiery, fuming samovar
and her lord smoking innumerable
cigarettes, with perhaps visitor 10
help, one can easily imagine-not for
getting the hermetically sealed win
dowsethe atmosphere in which some
worthy Russians go to bed.

DOG POIS0NtR KNOWN,
MAY SOON MEET WATERLOO

The dog poisoner is at work again,
and yesterday morning the streets of
the town were sprinkled with the car
casses of dead CANNES. Since that time
few dogs have been allowed to roam
at will, being either muZzled or led by
chain.
This work was not unexpected, as it
has been observed during the past few
years that whenever a number of dogs
have been seen congregating on the
streets that the poisoner commences
business, Notwithstanding the fact
that all dogs are supposed to be Ii
.censed.
1t would seem that the only way for
owners of valuable dogs to abate this
fend s activities will be to organize a
kennel club, and by cooperation with
other communities secure adquate leg
islation this winter to protect their
animals. The perpetrator of this das-
tardly outrage is known, and all that
is needed now is to secure a law with
sufficiently severe punishment to make
it worth while going after him.

GHANDMOTHERS
USED SAGE TEA
To Darken the Hair and Re-
store Gray and Faded Hair
to Its Natural Color,

1t is easier to preserve yhe color of
the hair than to restore 1t, although It
is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made sage tea, and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle life was
due to this fact Our mothers have gray
hairs before they are fifty, but they are
beginning to appreciate the wisdom Of
our grandmothers in using Sage tea"
for their hair and are fast following suit.
The present generation has the advan-
tage of the past in that it can get a
ready-to-u preparation called Wyeth' s
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. AS a
scalp tonic and color restorer this prep
aration is vastly superior to the ordinary
"sage tea" made by our grandmothers.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on a healthy condition OF the
scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy quickly kills the dandruff germs
which rob the hair of its life, color and
lustre, makes the scalp clean and
healthy, gives the hair strength, color
and beauty, and makes it grow.
