Good Road Movement
And Proposed Law
Elk0 Man Wants Counties to
Lend Assistance to Big Plan

The proposed Good Road Bill of
George Russell of Elko. will benefit
the different counties in the state
within short time Yesterday in the
Assembly provision was made for the
printing Of this measure before IS
introduction. The reason oi this was
that the expression OF :nc people
throughout the state is desired Fy
tie Trainer before it was considered
in the LEGISLATURE
The fact that such precaution was
taken, and that each county will be
given a chance to review and to sug-
gest amendments. shows the intent
OF good law for all the people.
Mr.. Russell explains that in his
county good roads are as necessary
Il, good buildings. That up to the
present time there has been expend-
ej hundreds OF thousands of dollars
and to-day the county is without a
highway fit for the name. He has
VI NtlNtt ttlt same Nblttilloll III I'l tN
t.cally every county in Nevada
Under the proposed law there will
he a bond issue approved by the
counties participating in good road
luilding The provisions for this
bond make lighter tax than where a
d,"ect road tax is applied. 1t assures
the construction of roads under the
supervision of the County Commits
-sioners with the assistant Of, a com
retent engineer, which provision pro-
videS for proper grading. drainage
ard culvert building.
Mr. Russell, like others who have
heen observing. realizes that there
might be opposition to such a meas
ure 1t is therefore made optional in
the counties and not compulsory
The fact that a county can take up 4
bond issue for good roads being on
the statutes. gives the gO-ahead sec
tions a chance to start in the right
direction without a lot of red tape
extra elections and other unnecessary
expense.

The movement for better roads is
not Nevada concern alCne. The
states on every side have taken up
this proposition, and while the plans
differ in each section, yet the fact of
building is the best evidence of good
faith in the future and the extension
of progress in every branch of terri
tory.
California has build state road to
the borders of Nevada In her effort
to build it was not to help Nevada,
but to attract travel from the rest Of
the people. The efforts proved ot
such value that additional roads are
being surveyed and will be built with
in few years. 1t is in order to keep
up with the procession that Mr. Rus
sells measure will become a law be
fore the session is over
During the past summer the CALI
fornla Highway Commission spent
over 100000 on roads thai lead 10
the very borders of Western Neva-
da. The winter weather only stop
ped further development on such
roads.
Utah to the east has commenced
state road building and will extend
to the Nevada border Idaho is do
ing the same. Nevada seems to De
the only state that has neglected
such a, chance the past few years.
There is not a county in the state
that can boast of real highway that
has been properly constructed The
roads have been made by following
a COW trail in any direction and the
result has been the waste of fortunes
that properly applied would have
brought forth system of road build
ing that would make the other states
envious
When printed this bill is to be gen.
orally reviewed a d it is hoped that
each county will olnd its assistance in
making it one Of the best general
laws of the present session.

cultivation and marketing, in order
to reduce their cost Of production.
2. The proprietors of large Egyp-
tian estates, representing 7 - to 10
per cent of the crop, are in a posi-
ton to cooperate and render pow
erful aid in maintaining fair prices
for their commodities, and these
prices will tend to steady the prices

will enable the farmerD to store the
cotton and secure cheap money
upon warehouse receipts whereby

as they do now, within two or three
months.

For a Larger Navy.


Washington, CSpecial.)-Command-
ants of the Atlantic coast navy yards
gathered at the navy department here
tcdy to confer with Secretary Dam
iels and Assistant Secretary Roose-
welt on navy yard labor problems.
The principal discussion revolved
around the question of civilian repre-
sentation in the various wage boards
which navy yard employees have long
sought. Secretary Daniels already
has indicated that he favors the pro-
position, but the commandants vigor-
ously oppose it. Questions of econ
omy also were discussed. No definite
conclusions were reached at today's
conference.
During the discussions Secretary
Daniels emphasized his belief that
every navy yard in the country should
be equipped to build some kind of war
craft. He did not favor building all
warships in government yards. but
expressed the belief that the govern
ment should be in a position to con-
struct every type of vessel used by
the navy.
The commandants present were:
Rear Admirals Robert M. Doyle, Nor
folk; James M. Helm, Charleston,
and Captains Albert Gleaves, New
York; Dewitt Coffman, Boston, and
Charles c. Rogers, Portsmouth, N. II.

Transformed Road Near
Chimney Rock il I've DAYS

The above caption sounds like he
impossible, but since the wonderful
work done last Friday and Saturday,
it Ia said that the traveller would
never realize that he really was trav-
ing the same old road. But, some
thing has ~transpired; a new spirit
has taken hold OF hundreds and hum
dreds of people.
Through the Initiative OF Mr.. John
IT. Patrick, together with the good
citizens along the line Of route the
Hickory Nut Gap Road i'm two days
was transformed by gratuitous labor
from about the worst road In the
country to what might be called a
good road. Automobiles can now go
clear through to Loans without fear
of p%unctures or break downs.
The new road from Rutherfordton
to Asheville has now been finally sur
veyed and the grade stakes set. This,
IS Is well known Ia a link in the Ashe-
viAe-Charlotte highway. The contract
is to be let at nee by Rutherford
county for the construction OF that
part up to Paris Gap. From this
point, all in Henderson county. the
road is to be constructed by the North
Carolina State convicts. This work is
to begin mt once, the governor having
ordered out the convicts for this pur-
pose.
Thus will the mountain link of tho
great Asheville-C Charlotte highway be
completed, probably the most splendid
scenic automobile trip in America.
On this trip is the far famed Chimney
Rcck which rises Gome-li-e some AGO
feet high; the Appalachian Falls. a
sheer drop of 900 feet, the third high
est fall in the United States the hair
raising 'Apparian Way a narrow
bench one mile long on the face of a
precipice 1000 feet in height; the lab
arynthine chambers of Bat Cave and
Rambling cave with their weird his
tories as the hiding places during the
revolutionary and civil war. Then
who can complete the picture without
a mention of the fascinating beautiful
Bottom1ess Pools" three of them wGrn
with motor smoothness into the eter-
nal granite hundreds of feet in. depth.
Then there are Silver Falls, Maiden
hair Falls, the surging Broad River,
mountains of rare splendor-ail i'm
mediately adjacent to the Asheyilie-
Charlotte Highway.
In this valley are, too, as superb an
assortment inns and ~boardings houses
as are to be found anywhere. Every
one should take this wonderful scenic
trip while in the mountains this sum
mer.
