Ian MOrrlS0n received a letter
from the Reno Commercial Club
Thursday announcing that H. E.
Fredrickson, Consul-a Large for the
Lincoln Higway, was making a trip
from Reno to Ely over the proposed
Lincoln Highway route, and would
be in Eureka on Saturday night,
April IL.
The Reno Commercial Club states
that Mr.. Fredrickson will address
the people of Fallon, Austin, and Eu-
reka relative to the building of the
Highway, how the funds are being
raised. how they will be applied, and
such other information pertaining to
the Highway as will be of interest
to all.
The County Commissioners have
given the use of the district Court
room in the Court House, and ar
engagements are being made to have
Mr.. Fredrickson address the people
of Eureka there this Saturday even
ing at 7:30 o'clock. There should be
a good turn out of our people at this
meeting, for Eureka is on the pro-
posed route across the continent of
the Lincoln Highway. and the sue
cessful building of this transconti.
mental route through Eureka to the
Coast means much to Eureka and
this surrounding section.
Tonopah, Goldfeld and Los Ange-
les are moving heaven and earth to
throw the auto travel from Ely over
the southern route, and it is stated
that they have a representative sta.
toned at Ely to divert all possible
travel over the southern route. The
best. natural and shortest auto route
is via Eureka. Austin, FaIlon and
Reno, but unless we are up and STIR
ring We are pretty liable to lose this
travel.
