ON ROAD
Prison Camp is Doing
Good Work

The road crew from the prison :
working on the highway near Reno.
The cold weather has not retarded
the work to any great extent and
some good ShowinSs are beng mad.
1t has been very unusual year. LII"
fact that the men could work prac-
ticaly the year round is worth cred
itiug. Should provision be made for
another year OF work the road be
tween Reno and this city will b, tin-
i,hed and make one OF the real high
ways of the west
The fact that this road joins the
California highway over the SicrraS
makes it one of the most important
pieces of work undertaken by the
counties or the state. It has been Il
heavy expense on Wasnoc County
and it is doubtful if any other county
in the state would have stood tie tax
The problem OF. convict road building
has been pretty we'll tested III this
respect and some figures will be
