Sugar By Parcel Post

The Eureka Cash Store last Satur-
day received by parcel post twenty
50-pound sacks of graduated sugar
from the refinery at Fallon. Nevada.
This sugar, with the general large
holiday shipment of parcel post pack
ages overloaded the stage and it re-
suited in the breaking of a hind axle
near the Scott ranch, about 40 miles
north of Eureka. Another wagon
was obtained and the lead reached
Eureka only a few hours late.
The freight rate from Fallon. Ne
vada, to Palisade. We r informed,
is one cent a pound higher than from
San Francisco to Palisade, and as the
Fallen refinery can overcome thas
rate by using the parcel post, it is
said to be using this means of trans
portation in forwarding out the
most of it's shipments to Nevada
points.

Santa Claus Visit and the Beautiful

Santa Claus' Visit and the Beautiful
Weather Bring Joy and Good Cheer
Both the Episcopal and Presby-
terrain Sunday Schools had a Christ
mas tree for the children on Christ
mas Eve at their churches. Pro-
grammes of appropriate exercises
were rendered by the schools, and a
large number of the parents anu
friends of the children we're present.
Santa Claus visited each church and
presented the children with gifts and
candy. making them all very happy.
and the brightly decorated trees and
holiday decorations of the churches
added to the joyfulness of the scene.
In many homes there were family
trees and gatherings of relatives and
friends to celebrate the happy Xmas
time.
Christmas dawned clear and bright
and the day throughout was IN ideal
one for this section. where we more
often have a white Xmas, with plen-
ty Of snow and ice. Groups of young
and old could be seen out enjoying
the sunshine, and a number of par
ties we're automobile riding-the
roads now being fine for travel.
While the day passed quietly in Eu-
reka. the Xmas spirit was in general
evidence-everybody seemed happy,
and peace and good will prevailed.

An AUT0|sr's TESTIMONIAL
What a Cross-the- Continent Party
Thinks of the Alleged Lincoln
Trail Across This State

The following terse statementfrom
last Sundays Chronicle is about the
best testimonial in favor of the reg
ularly established Lincoln Highway
through this county that has come
to u attention. 1t is published in
the hope that it may greet eyes of
interested persons and also that it
may be republished by that part of
the fair minded press that may have
its attention drawn to it.
The Lincoln Highway. says the
Fallon Standard, is to be a highway
in fact in due course of time and not
a mere trail, which dignification is
about the limit of expression for the
northern route across the State of
Nevada, which has fooled some au-
toists and will continue to fool them
in greater or lesser numbers until a
thorough campaign of enlightment
has been completed. OF course the
interests prompting the establishing
of this alleged trail are selfish COM
mercial interests. They do not care
a rap whether the autoists who are
fooled are subsequently marooned or
pass safely across their territory.
In fact, the longer they are delayed
by treacherous trails only increases
the amounts disbursed for gasoline
and other forms of necessities.
Denver to Los Angeles by rail-
road with Pullman berth, costs $1O8
for two people. but it has just been
done by automobile for $9l all told.
besides the pleasure of seeing Amer
lea in the right way"
This remarkable economy record
was established by w. H. Todd and
his wife on a trip from the Colorado
capital to San Francisco and Los An
geles in a Hudson ~six-forty.
The camping outfit, which Todd
has his Hudson equipped with is
probable the most complete ever car
ried across America, and the only
night spent under a roof on the en-
tire journey of 2614 miles was at
San Francisco when they visited the
exposition.
The route followed by the Todd
party was from Denver to Cheyenne,
and through Wyoming over the Lin
coin highway to Ogden. There they
diverted to the old Overland trail
around the north end of Great Salt
Lake, and crossed Nevada through
Kelton, Lucia and Winnemucca.
Never again. said Todd in speak
ing of that part of the route. Tell
every one coming from the East on
the Lincoln highway to the official
route from Salt Lake City to Ely and
then through Eureka, Austin and
Fallon to Reno. and don't go via the
north end of the lake over the old
Overland route. for ! believe it is
the worst road co oe found in Amer
lea.
We &sst pewe9 Through miles-ef

ton of several watchers. The con.
Vulsions following this disease in.
creased in violence until his condi
ton became weakened and he passec
away IL hours after the first convul

Mr.. McKinnon realized that his con.
dition was hopeless. for just after hi:

satisfied he was suffering from hydro.
phobia and that nothing could be
done to save him.

on the platform, while at least 200
persons (among whom were many
prominent musicians) stood patiently
throughout the performance.
Rarely within the past ten or
twelve years has Paderewski played
with more charm or power than yes

(Which he took at an alarming tempo)
he had breadth and authority. His
