ROADS FOR
INDIANA AUTOISTS
Lander and Eureka Counties Ar
ranging 10 Have Their High
ways In Good Order

George Lister, George Dron, Neil
Easton OF the International Hotel. Fred
Whitourn. County Clerk, and L. W
haworth, publisher of the Austin
heveille, part of a party Of some 25
austin business men who went out from
Austin In autos early last Sunday norm.
ing n worked the roads in Lander
county to the Eureka line, came ON
through 20 Eureka after finishing I'M
their work. They arrived here about
= p. m. and after having dinner at the
Brown Hotel and resting MP q while.
ieit on their return trip home the same
night.
They reported having found a number
OF high centers and some rough, rocky
places that required attention in Lander
county. but they repaired all these and
state that their road is now in good
order and ready for the indianapolis
auto party that is due to pas over the
road on July 81.
In speaking Of the road through Eu-
reka County from the Lander County
line into Eureka. these gentlemen said
that with the exception of a small sec.
ton at Reynolds or Kelly Greek, about
40 miles from Eureka, the road was in
good condition, and when this was re
paired no autoist would have q for
complaint with any portion Of the high.
way between Eureka aud Austin.
Several of the Austin party met Com
missioner Edgar Sadler while in Eureka
and explained the situation to him, and
he took the matter up with the other
Commissioner at Mondays meeting.
The Board at once arranged to have the
road al Reynolds OF Kelly Greek put 10
good order. and A. L. Porch and John
Lucey left Tuesday with a team and the
necessary materials and supplies to do
the work,
The trouble at this creek crossing is
said to he caused by the food waters of
the recent storms having accumulated
in a small! stretch Of low ground that
cannot be drained without considerable
difficulty. and it is understood that a
new crossing will be cut out further up
the creek.
The Commissioners and the people
here generally fully appreciate the i'm.
portance of creating a good impression
with the Indiana autoists, for it is gen
orally understood that the present trip
Of this party will have much to do with
the selection of the ocean to ocean
transcontinental highway. and il the
route through this section of Nevada is
chosen. Eureka may consider itself for
tunate and particularly favored.

RANGES COME BACK
UNDER REGULATION
Government Authorities Point to I'm
provement In Nebo Reserve in Utah

Government Authorities Point to I'm
provement In Nebo Reserve in Utah
Washington, July THE improved
condition of the National forest range
after regulated grazing is pointed to by
experts OF the department of agricul-
ture as demonstration that areas
which have been severely damaged
through o~verstocking by sheep and cat
tie can be brought back to their former
carrying power through a system of suf-
ficiently intelligent use.
When the Government took charge
of the livestock ranges within the Ma
tional forests some of them were SO bad
ly overgrazed and other wise injured
from reckless handling of the stock that
their grazing value appeared to have
been almost entirely destroyed. Many
of these ranges. however, have been re-
stored and made as valuable as ever.
On several of the forests results have
more than justified the expectations and
the range is in better condition than it
ever was.
An example of this improvement is
cited in the Nebo National forest, Utah.
In 1908, when the forest was created.
the ranges within the forest boundaries
were found to be badly o~vergrazed and
trampled because their was a lack of
any control or supervision over the
areas. One of the areas was at that
time estimated to be capable of carrying
only 5000 head of cattle. Now, through
conservative management and ju~dicious
distribution of the cattle over the
ranges. and improvements in water con-
ditions, the carrying capacity of the
range has been increased until, in the
present grazing season. nearly 5000
head of cattle are using this particular
area. aud forest officers feel that a few
hundred head more can be safely grazed
there without injury.

CONTINENTAL TOUR STARTS
More Than 20 Autoists Leave
Indianapolis For Coast-Party
Will Pass Through Eureka

The big auto party that is coming
across the country and Is now routed to
pass through Ely, Eureka and Austin
on its way TO the Coast. left Indianapolis
on July l.. The party is travelling under
the auspices Of the Indiana Automobile
Manufacturers' Association, and some
70 odd people started on the trip.
1t is expected to reach San Francisco
in 25 days running time. The cars will
travel by day and rest at night. No al
lowance is made for storms, rain, muddy
roads. bad driving or any freaks Of the
weather. and it is confidently predicted
that each machine will get through on
time.
The trip was designed to test out the
probability OF one of the principal
routes suggested for the coming pecan
to-ocean th~oroughfare. con Instructed
principally Of cement, which will be
known as the Lincoln highway, a
memorial to the late President Lincoln,
and q purely patriotic enterprise which
will bring no financial returns to those
who plan to build it.
Hence, while the tour goes out under
the banner of the Indiana Automobile
Manufacturers' Association. the real
purpose is to acquaint the public along
the proposed route with the details Of
this wonderful highway enterprise.
There will be q number of prominent
guests who will speak and dilate upon the
numerous advantages of the Lincoln
highway at the various receptions. ban
quets and dinners to be rendered the
tourists at stopping points en- route.
Because the road is to be built wholly
by public subscriptions. 81. 2O0, 900 of the
necessary $40, 000. 900 having already
been pledged, certificates of member
ship will be issued during the journey
to those who contribute.
Commercial vehicle manufacturers
are seing great possibilities in the tour
for demonstrating their products. In
addition to four trucks in the commits
sary squad. W others will carry sup
plies. such as gas. water and oil. mater
ials for Strengthening bridges. a large
winch and tackle, confetti. etc. An.
other will carry tire equipment and an
electric ~vulcanizer. One truck will
have a complete electric tightening sys-
TEN and wireless telegraph outfit of
sufficient strength to keep in touch with
Kansas City. Denver. Salt Lake City or
San Francisco, while they are camping
on the plains.
According to the schedule of the auto
party it will leave Ely. Nevada, on the
morning of July 81 and they will take
lunch in Eureka about noon that day.
but it is hardly believed that the auto
lists can keep to their exact schedule
on such a long journey.

HORTON M'kIM HAS CLOSE CALL
Former Eureka Found Unconscious in q
Bathroom Overcome By Escaping Gas

Bathroom Overcome By Escaping Gas
The Tonopah Bonanza has the follow
ing account Of the narrow escape from
death last week OF a former Eurekan.
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. II. A. McKim:
Horton McKim had a narrow escape
from death last Saturday at his Sum-
mer home in Oakland where he was
visiting with his parents. They occupy
a suite in one of the large apartment
houses down by San Francisco bay
where the use Of gas is general through
out the building. The bathroom is
supplied with a gas appliance for heat
ing water for the tub and no trouble
had been experienced until last Satur-
day when q leak evidently developed
after the Tonopah youth had entered
the room.
Nothing was known Of his condition
and it was only by his mother wanting
him to 60 on a message that he was
saved from death. Horton must have
been in the bathroom for q couple of
hours before inquiries were started as
to his whereabouts. The maid who
wal appealed to by the mother said she
had seen him enter the bathroom some
time before. The mother then tried the
door and found it locked. With her
fears aroused and a lively apprehension
Of the worst possibilities she summoned
the janitor who forced an entrance and
found the boy lying unconscious against
the door where he apparently had tried
to effect his escape when he found the
deadly stupor had taken possession Of
his senses. Before he could unlock the
door he fell where he was found. He
was in such a feeble condition that it
required the continued efforts of a
couple OF doctors for two hours to re-
store him to his senses After recovery
the boy could not explain anything ave
that he found himself growing weak
and sought to admit air or escape when
he succumbed.
