FINE IMPROVED ROAD IS
TO CROSS UTAH=NEYADA
Old Midland and Overland Trails To Be
Developed Into Magnificent Trans
continental Highway at Cost of
$15O,OOO-- Through Elko
LOCAL BOOSTERS RESPONSIBLE e

ment in this state was concerned,
the three counties would stand be-
hind the proposition and see it
through to the finish. On this as
surance it is expected Governor
Spry of Utah will release the $l5,-
600 he has tied up until he clearly
saw what Nevada would do.
Commissioners Patterson and
Griswold of Elko County assured
the Utah delegation that work
would be started at once at Tacoma
and would have teams and graders
put nn between Montello and Wells.
There is several miles of South
ern Pacific road bed between Fem
elon and Valley Pass that will be
worked over and used by the COM
missioners. Mr.. Griswold has also
asked the Southern Pacific to have
the railway crossing at Fenelon be
made passible.
There are still a few farmers
between Halleck and Wells who
insist on irrigating the county
roads but the District Attorney
has been instructed to enforce the
law in these cases and it is believ-
ed the matter will soon be adjust
ed.
Secretary Gray of the Elko Coun-
ty DEVELOPMENT League was one of
the real live wires at the jnfer-
ence and he explained the feeling
Of the Humboldt and Washoe coun-
ty citizens. The commercial club
gave assurance of the supper. of
the people of the sections through
which the improved highway will
pass.
Ely made a hard fight to have
the road extended by the southern
route but the Utah delegation with
the money to spend objected 10 the
southern route aud the delegation
from Elko county whooped it nj
for the northern route through
Elko and won out. 1t was the gen.
eral opinion Of those present that
few If any of the thousands of tour
lists from the east or the residents
OF Utah or Nevada cared TO 20
over the long stretches of desert by
the Southern route. On the other
hand Utah and Nevada men agreed
that the best thing to advertise
this state was to send their many
visitors over the most direct route,
through the most prosperous towns
and richest agricultural sections,
another argument in favor of the
northern route through Elko was
that it ran parallel to the Sou thern
Pacific in Nevada and in case of
oreakdowns or shortage of gasoline
towns were within reach at all
times which is not the case with
the southern route through Ely.
The meeting at Montello was
harmonious and the greatest inter-
est was shown by the Nevadans and
Utahns. Another conference in the
near future is possible although
none has yet been arranged for.

ne old Midland and Overland

Spry tied up the fund until he was
able to satisfy himself whether the
road was to be continuous through
Nevada or whether Nevada would

stop at the Utah line. The dele.
