LINCOLN HIGHWAY SCHEME
Consul at Large Frederikson
Visited Fallon And Explains
How Route Is To Be Built.

That Fallon's selection as a way
side place on the great Lincoln
Highway is permanent one was the
declaration of H. E. Fredrickson,
consul-at-large for the Lincoln High
way Association in the course OF his
talk at Thursday evenings meeting
of the local commercial body. Mr..
Fredrickson, who halls from Omaha,
Neb., stopped here on his trip across
the country from San Francisco,
where he went some months ago
without salary, moved merely by
public spirit, to instill enthusiasm
into Californians for the Lincoln
Highway scheme. He is business
man of standing in his home COM
munity and knows the Importance of
the project he represents and the in
innate relation a national boulevard
must bear to a great strip of favored
country, extending from ocean to
ocean.
OF the estimated ten million dol
lars, six millions have been raised
and it will not be long, he said until
the fund will be compete. Until
then the subscriptions will be kept
intact. With the taking up of active
road building, the heaviest expendi-
lures will be in the sparsely settled
west and intermountain country, he
said, where the burden of taxation
applied locally would be prohibitive.
Thus 1t is aimed to assist in the
moulding of suitable links in the
route, where otherwise the weakest
links would be, by donations from
the wealthier centers farther east.
The bulk of the ten million dollar
funds, Mr.. Fredrickson stated,
would be expended In five states, Me-
yada, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska and
Indiana. Other states to be ira
versed will care for their own high
ways. Illinois, he said, has voted an
appropriation of $4,000 per mile
for the Lincoln Highway. Nevada, he
said, would enjoy benefits from the
fund aggregating two million dol
lars, or approximately $4,000 per
mile for the route across the state.
Additional appropriations from
within the state will mean better
and more thorough roads, which Ill
turn are used in general sense by
traffic four times as great from the
farm as from the automobile public,
thus refuting the statement that the
Lincoln Highway benefits are for
one class only.
After spending Friday morning
here Mr.. Fredrickson left by auto
for the eastern part of the state,
where he was met by Utahans, who
are plotting him through their state.
Accompanying him across Nevada
we're V. s. Barber. state Ford agent,
and Cadillac car and driver from
the Reno agency, and Secetary Step
henson, of the Reno commercial
club. /. H. Kent, r. L. Douglass
L. w. crehore and E. P. Osgood left
with the party Friday, all but Mr.
Osgood going in Mr.. Kent's Pierce
