LINCOLN HIGHWAY FOL-
LOWS HISTORIC TRAILS

Construction work is soon to begin
on the greatest road-building project
ever attempted since the time when
the Caesars, in building the highways
which are still the main thor
oughfares of Europe, gave rise to the
saying that "All roads lead to
Rome The modern counterpart of
these ancient roads is the Lincoln
Highway, national thoroughfare that
will extend 3,l00 miles across the
American continent from New York
to San Francisco. Unlike the Roman
roads, which were a manifestation of
imperial power, the Lincoln Highway
is the result of a popular movement
and is to be, built by popular sub
seription. After over year of care
full investigation and after numerous
conferences with the officials of the
different states that the highway is to
pass through, the route has been def
nitely decided on, while, of the
$l0,000,000 needed for carrying out
the work, over $4,oO0,0oO has already
been subscribed. Twelve states will
be crossed by this highway which is
to serve to future generations as a
fitting memorial of the martyred pres
ident whose name il bears. A de-
scription of the proposed road and a
map showing the route from coast to
coast appear in the November Popular
Mechanics Magazine.

TO INSPECT TIMBER
FOR PANAMA CANAL

Clayton d. Nell, of the u. 8. forest
service, sailed today from New York
for British Guiana to inspect green
heart timber to be used in the con-
struction of docks and other marine
works for the Panama canal. He goes
at the request of the Isthmian Canal
commission. in order that the engi-
neers may be sure that they are get
ting genuine greenheart timber, for
which a number of inferior substitutes
are offered.
Genuine greenheart has the reputa-
tion of being the most resistant wood
to the attack of marine borers and to
decay. Borers are especially bad in
tropical waters. The wood is, in ad-
dition, hard, heavy and durable, and
not subject to damage from impact
and wear. Indisputable records show
that the best grades of this wood sur
pass iron and steel as lasting quail
ties in contact with salt water. 1t has
been known and used since 1859.
Logs have remained intact under wa
ter for 100 years. Lock gates in Eng
lish canals have been made of it for
years, and the only limit of their dura-
bility so far has been the length Of
service of their iron bolts and fasten-
ings, which usually can be renewed
without much trouble. Greenheart in
Liverpool lock gates built in 1856, re-
moved to allow deepening and wild
ening of the ship channel in 1894, was
used over again when the gates were
reconstructed. The sills and tenders
of the lock gates at Panama will be
made of greenheart, and much of the
docks will be constructed of the same
material.
Nansen's ship, the Fran, and the
Antarctic veccels, Discovery, used by
one of the Scott expeditions, and the
Gauss, used by Drygalski, were all
planked with greenheart.
The exceedingly great durability of
the wood is said to be due, at least in
part, to the presence of an alkaloid,
which is used as substitute for
cinchona, the basis of quinine.
A number of other woods which
-
forests of the Guianas resemble it so
closely that they are likely to deceive
even an expert. They have many of
the qualities of the genuine timber,
but in a lesser degree. Some are quite
inferior, and it is essential that they
should be avoided. In order that the
canal commission may be sure of the
right wood, it asked the forest service
to assist it in an investigation of the
greenheart situation in British
Guiana, and Mr.. Mell's present trip
is result of that request.
From the isthmus of Panama Mr..
Nell will go directly to Demerara,
British Guiana, the principal port of
export for greenheart. He will be ac-
companied by a member of the COM
mission, and will see all the opera
tions of numbering in order that the
true greenheart may be selected and
identified without possibility of error.
He will ascertain where the genuine
can be obtained in sufficient quanti-
ties and right sizes, find out what sub
stitutes are to be avoided, and pre-
pare specifications which, Incorporated
in purchase contracts, will eliminate
everything but genuine greenheart.

JAMES WHEELER
Tires OF LIVING

At O'Clock this morning Charles
4. Crandell notified Coroner Dunn that
the body of James Wheeler was lying
at point near the Southern Pacific
stock corrals, about a mile west of
town. Coroner Dunn left at once and
brought the remains in to Ayers un-
dertaking parlors.
The body was found lying on the
left side, with an oldfashioned 3S-
calibre revolver beneath the right
hand. From bullet wound behind
right ear, it was evident that deceased
had committed suicide. Coroner Dunn
empannelled jury, composed OF 5.
d. Love. s. F. Flynn, T. j. Ryan, r. w.
Lewis, Leon Pascal, A. w. Stowe and
A. v. Reeves, and the taking of testi-
mony was commenced at A O'Clock this
afternoon.
Deceased was SO years of age today
and had lived in Winnemucca for the
past eight years, and was at one time
employed as a clerk at the Lafayette
hotel, when that hostelry was owned
by Frank Germain. He came here
from Battle Mountain, where he had
been employed in the mines in the
capacity of blacksmith.
1t is thought that the rash act was
prompted by dependency caused by
ill-health, as deceased had lately COM
planned to his friends of painful
stomach trubles, saying that life was
no longer worth living. He was last
seen alive in Albert Seeliger's place
at about 1880 O'Clock last evening.
Deceased resided on Railroad street
with his wife, by whom he is survived.
Funeral arrangements have not yet
been announced.
