AN AUTOIST'S TESTIMONIAL
What a Cross-the-C Party
Thinks of the Alleged Lincoln
TRAIL Across This State.

The following terse statement
from last Sundays Chronicle is
about the best testimonial in favor
OF the regularly established Lincoln
Highway through this county that
has come to our attention. 1t is
published in the hope that 1t may
greet eyes of interested persons and
also that IL may be republished by
that part of the fair minded press
that may have its attention drawn
TO it.
The Lincoln Highway 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 autoists and will
continue to fool them in greater or
lesser numbers until a thorough
campaign of enlightenment has been
completed. OF course the interests
prompting the establishing of this
alleged trail are selfish commercial
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.

This remarkable economy cord
was establish by w. H. Todd and his
wife on a trip from the Colorado
capital to San Francisco and Los
Angeles in a Hudson six-forty.
The camping outfit which Todd
has his Hudson equipped with is
probably the most complete ever
carried 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
speaking of that part of the route.
TELL everyone coming from the
East on the Lincoln highway to
stick to the official route from Salt
Lake City to Ely and then through
Austin and Fallon to Reno, and
don't go vie the north end of the
lake over the old Overland route,
for believe 1t is the worst road to
be found in America.
I'VE first plowed through miles
of alkali dust approaching the lake,
and then around the north end there
were forty miles of hub-deep greasy
mud. That was followed by days of
deep sand work, over ridges and
through canyons, until our whole
persons radiated salty sand from
every pore.
''The heat, too, was terrific all the
way across this great stretch, justly
called the Great American Desert,
and the combination of strenuous
work, grades, sand and heat was
one grand test for our sturdy old
car.-San Francisco Chronicle"

THEATRICAL.
The Columbia TODAY.

"Adrift in a Great City" Pat Mo-
ran, the prosperous foreman of con-
struction gang, sends to the old cOun-
try for his wife and daughter. On
his way to meet them he meets with a
serious accident and is taken uncon-
scious to a hospital. When he comes
his wife and child, but cannot find
them. Meanwhile the two women
are penniless, and are reduced to
beggary. The girl finds work, but
her eyes becoming overtaxed, she
goes.
Z Unto the Weak" Peter was a sol
tary old man who lived on the out
skirts of the village. The pastor of
the village was given to eloquent
sermons on Sundays-and Peter to
deeds, more eloquent than all the
sermons put together, every day in
the week. When he took into his
cottage Eileen and her baby, after
everybody else had driven them out,
the community was very indignant,
and Parson Ullett demonstrated with
him for thus outraging the feelings
of "our good people" Peter said
little, but sent the parsOn off on his
own business. Then he cleaned his
gun and waited Eileen refused to
tell her benefactor the name of her
betrayer, but at last the certain fact
was revealed to Peter that the father
Iof Eleen's child was none other than
Henry, the son Of the parson. At
the point of the gun Peter marched
the young man to the parsonage, and
there, in the presence of the assem-
.bled townspeople, compelled the par
son to marry his son to Eileen.
1.-THE Rivals" This very amusing
farce takes an unusual original turn
when Pat .conQuers his rival for the
hand of the Widow Murphy by imper.
sonating his own ghost.
