meree, held Thursday evening. the fol-
lowing business was transacted:
The report of R. f. Tilden with ref
erence to the auto road from the east.
ern boundary line of the county to
Winnemucca was submitted. He has
proposed routes, one known as the
central Pacific grade road and the
other as the High Line road. The
merits and conditions of the two roads
were gone over thoroughly and il was
the opinion of the members and the
engineer that the High Line route was
the more feasible and work will be
started IN few days to put same in
shape. Mr.. Sheehan stated that he
was in Battle Mountain and that the
citizens of that town had organized a
chamber of commerce and the direct
ors Informed him that they wished to
cooperate with us and the county
commissioners here and that thev will
aid, financially and in anv way they
are able, in putting that portion of the
road in shape from the Humboldt coun-
ty line on the east to the Elko county
line.
The resignation of J. s. Holman, as
treasurer and director was read and
accepted. j. A. Rogers was elected
treasurer and director in his stead.
The meeting was addressed by Mr..
klmball, of the firm of Kimbal &
Richards of Salt Lake City. and also
the owner of the Godschaux ranch in
Paradise Valley and bv his represen-
tative, Mr.. Capener, of Salt Lake
City. These gentlemen are land mer-
chants and experienced farmers. Hav-
ing made study of the proposition
in this and foreign countries they are
enthusiasts on the good roads question.
If they see their way clear and things
are favorable they intend to colonize
their holdings in Paradise Valley and
are also ready to take over any other
property that looks good to them. The
remarks from these gentlemen were
very instructive and were very much
appreciated by the members We are
glad to have these kind of people get
INTO our country, as they are in the
land business and have made good.
W. II. Forquer was admitted to

SLIGHT CHANCE FOR
WOOL AND SUGAR

A Washington special to the Herald
Republican of Thursday says the
strong protests coming from all sec
tions of the west against the wool and
sugar schedules Of the Underwood bill
are beginning to frighten senate lead
ers of the Wilson administration bad
ly. A number of them are openly
stating that they believe duties should
be placed on both these commodities.
Democratic senators from the west
are scared to death and they are tell
ing their Democratic brethren in the
senate that if free wool and free sugar
become laws, there will be a change
in the political complexion of a num-
ber of western seniors within the next
few years.
1t is stated on good authority that
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia is in
favor of Is per cent duty on wool
and permanent DUTY on sugar.
But none of them care to oppose
President Wilson openly on the floor
of the senate. Whether this sentiment
is going to affect the president is the
question. He gave no satisfaction to
the western senators who called on
Elm to protest against free wool
and sugar and, up to the present time,
has indicated strongly that he intends
to stand pat on the wool and sugar
schedules of the Underwood BILL as
they are now written.
The pressure is growing so strong,
however, that it would not be surpris-
ing if the president yields to change
in the wool and sugar schedules. He
does not want free wool and free
sugar to be defeated in the senate.
and to avert such an occurrence he
would probably agree to small duties.
1t is within the power of the west
ern Democratic senators to force the
president to accept duties on wool and
sugar, and if their fear of their con
stituents becomes greater than their
fear of the president, they viii prob
ably do so.
