FOR LINCOLN HIGHWAY

ne attended the organization Of the

The governor brought Out one
point in conversation that has not at
tracted attention IN regard 10 the Lin.
coin trail and that Is the fac that IN
their conferences Eith the governors
Of the different states the officers and
engineers o. the Lincoln Trail ascot
alton have confined their attention
principally TO the method OF financing
the highway that IS 10 cross the con-

route sill rest in their own hands.
In his speech al Winnemucea.
Governor eddie laid stress on the
question OF how 20 raise the moneg
TO build the lines OF road involved in
the Lincoln trail project. He stated
that the state could not borrow the
money. because. $4,000 vas its
borrowing capacity and il had al
ready obtained that amoun from The
state school fund: nor vas the gen
eral fund OF value for road purposes
because il mad been running behind
for years and vas just now being
put into something like shape. The
counties. however. have the right to
bond themselves and some OF them,
like Churchill. have already moved in
that direction. In view OF the IN
questioned need Of good roads. he
recommended that others do like
wise. We mpst al pull together.
he concluded.
Former United States Senator W.
A. Massey drove home the fact that
the money for the road must come
from the people and the states
trayersed. He said he had no doubt
the federal government would spend
10000. 900 on roads in the next few
years. but as the Lincoln highway
was neither a post o a military
road. il would not get a dollar Of

PHARMACISTS DISCUSS
REGULATION OF DRUG SAILS

How to prevent shipments oi

subject up for discussion Tuesday De
fore inc Nevada State Board o.
Pharmacy. This question arose in =
general consideration BY the board Of
the matter Of enforcing the new phar-
macy Law.
Members OF the board said they
had considerable evidence bearing on
the points Of the source Of supply oil
the drugs. the amount shipped ana
the persons responsible. They De
lieve many of the shipments into Ne
yada are made from St. Louis. and as
an indication Of the extent OF the
traffic. they refer to a seizure made
recently in San Francisco. In that
case opium valued at $500 was
found In a suitcase sent TO a pFomi-
nent san Francisco woman from
Reno
Reno is one Of the Nevada points
70 which attention has been directed
Another Is in the southern part o.
the state and another in the western
part. Three eenters OF distribution
from Nevada are known.
Members OF the board are looking
With interest on the progress OF iegis-
lation in congress which vii
strengthen their position IN enforcing
the Jaw.
California and Nevada have praeti-
ealiy similar laws preventing Gait
fornia jobbers from distributing
drugs without keeping complete
records. As a result the traffic from
Nevada into California has sprung
up. and Is said to yield enormous re
turns to those zho take the risk OF
detection.
AS a rule the shipments OF opiates
from Nevada 10 California are direct
10 the consumers. but there Is some
evidence 10 show that retail druggists
