THE LAND OPENING FAIR WEEK
Reclamation Office Advised OF De-
partment's Intention To Reopen
Project Land to Settlement.

The following message from the
Reclan. alton Commission, dated at
Washington, d. c., August 18th,
was received yesterday by Project
Manager D. w. Cole:
You may announce Secretary
Lanes purpose to open lands to en-
try at earliest possible date under
terms of Reclamation Extension Act
Hope date may not be later than
September 18th"
From the above it may be inferred
that the department has seen its way
clear to grant the request of the pro-
jeet interests and acquiesce to the
opening of land at about the time
the Truckee-Carson fair occurs
September 1920. This will allow
people from other sections who may
feel impelled to look our valley over
with a view to locating and availing
themselves of the manifold advant-
ages which characterize this section
over others, to decide upon their
homestead or private land locations
and enter into negotiations for the
acquiring of home.
Land opening is certain to attract
a large number of people hither
from other and less favored sections.
There can be no doubt of the dis
tinct advantage of having land open
ing and our fair dates co-incident,
and the local business interests and
the chamber of commerce will lose
no opportunity in heralding the
events in widespread sense.

For compensation to injured

For the development of our re-

For the employment of the state

LINCOLN HIGHWAY GOOD ROUTE
California Autoist Praises Nevada's
Lincoln Highway, But Says Road
Improving Needed Here.

The following account of Nevada
Lincoln Highway will prove inter.
asting inasmuch as 1t comes from 9
California autoist who evidences
more loyalty to Neyada's official
Lincoln Highway than many within
this state:
Fred Gross of the Howard Auto
mobile Company recently made q
motor tour of the state of Nevada IN
a Buick, and gives the following ae-
count of the roads:
The trip was made as far east as
shelbourne Pass which is near the
Utah state line. The roads through
Oakland, Hayward, Liyermore,
stockton, Sacramento are boule-
Yards, and with the exception of a
few rough stretches of the Sacra-
mento-stockton road. they are all
that even the most exaeting motor
lists could ask.
At Truekee motorists can con
tlnne direct to Reno. but although
the trip is longer. one Is well repaid
for the trip taken around Lake Ia
hoe, where one can continue east on
the Placerville branch of the Lin
coin Highway entering Nevada
through Glenbrook and Carson City
and then continue on to Reno.
Good Roads the Rule.
From Reno the Highway continues
east over very good roads through
Sparks. Wadsworth and Fallon
From Fallon to Sand Springs a dis
tance of 2S miles. the road Is rather
rough. At Sand Springs good roads
are again encountered and continue
on through Alpine to Austin which
is 1Ss miles east OF Reno.
Good roads are followed through
Eureka TO Hamilton. located at the
summit of the White Pine Mountains
at an elevation OF 8, 315 feet.
White Pine Builds Road.
From Hamilton rough roads are
encountered for eleven miles and the
balance of the route into Ely is In
good shape. White Pine County Is
now improving a road through Little
Antelope Valley. which will elimi-
nate the heavy and rough grade on
the east side OF the White Noun.
tains This improved route VIII be
opened for the 1915 touring season.

people of this state not less than
three quarters of million dollars
annually. When the Public Service
Law was enacted in 1911, the Rail-

have been on par with those rend-

Two orders made by the Public Ser

Hon. II. f. Bartine, candidate for

men. He began his official life in
1881 as District Attorney of Orms-

period of two years. During the
years 1883, "a. 'S5 and Sc, he was
practically Attorney General of the
State. owing to the i'll health of At

March 4. 1889 to 1893. he repre-
sented Nevada in the lower heuae Of
congress, and was one of the fore
most advocates of the complete re-
monitization of silver achieving i
national reputation thereby. Upon
the creation of the Railroad Com
mission in 1907, he was named as
the Head Commissioner and in that
position he has guided and directed
the legal policy of the Commission
ever since, without a single defeat
being recorded against him upon
questions of law. His conduct of the

SENATOR NEWLANDS PRAISED
Praise OF Senator NewIand's Work
As Chairman OF the Interstate
Commerce Committee.

Washin gton, Aug. II, 1914-on
the passage of the trade commission
bill by the senate, Senator Newlands
was warmly congratulated by all
parties. Senator Clapp, of Mime
sofa, very prominent progressive
REPUBLICAN,, who was Senator New
lands predecessor as Chairman of
the Interstate Commerce Committee,
in the course of his speech on the
bill said in part:
Il cannot forbear saying a word of
congratu1ation and commentator of
the Chairman of the Committee, the
Senator from Nevada, Mr.. Newlands.
1t has been suggested that this sub
ject is new and novel. The thought
of trade commissions is neither new
nor novel, although the power which
this bill seeks to vest in the commis-
sion is, / think, to most people
somewhat unstudied and unthought
of proposition. The Senator from
Nevada for years, however, has been
and of the scope and purpose of the
pending bill, including section 5.
During the time that 1t was my
privilege to preside over that COM
mittee as chairman the Senator from
Nevada was constantly advocating
! and putting forward his thought OF
of this kind of commission. The
Senator from Nevada, during the
years of his service in both houses,
has been in the very vanguard of the
thought of developing the functions
of government: developing a union
and unity of purpose between state
and federal government; developing
not only the scope and authority,
but developing the method
..The plans he has projected along
government lines embrace broad
fundamental policies, in the advoca-
cy of which he has recognized no
petty party lines, and while he has
ever regarded the constitutional
guarantees he has taken the broad
ground that the function of free
government is to advance the COM
mon welfare and that the constitu-
tion should be viewed from the
standpoint of guide rather than as
a mere Limitation upon that function.
1t is seldom that one who has in the
main been SO far in advance of the
great mass of thought of his own
day has lived to see so many of his
advanced thoughts, purposes and
policies either actually crystallized
into legislation or SO rapidly accept
ed by congress.
I'm relation to legislation more or
less correlated to the distinct pur-
poses and aims of the Senator's ad-
vocacy, it is important and interest
ing, not so much as a tribute to the
Senator from Nevada, as to the
growth and development of the
spirit of the American people in u.s.
ing government as one of the ad-
juncts, one of the instrumentalities.
to the development of the prosperity
and welfare of the people.
81 certainly feel that the Senator
from Nevada is to be congratulated
upon the near approach of the con-
summation of his thought and pur-
pose in the adoption of the Federal
Trade Commission BILL"

tion On Matters Vital To the
States Welfare, Declaring For
Economy.

Emmett ID. Boyle, candidate for
the democratic nomination for gov
ernor has already begun his cam
paign for nomination and election
administration of the state govern
ment. He favors complete re-
organization of the methods of gov-

missions.
Boyle's statement to the people on
the opening of his campaign follows:
To the voters and taxpayers of
Nevada:
| stand for the immediate institu-
ton of steps to substitute for our
present cumbersome and expensive
form of state government, which
costs the people of Nevada upwards
of million dollars annually, a COM
mission or other practical form of
government suited to the needs of
state of our present and future pop
ulation and taxable wealth.
Pending the effecting of the con-
stitutional and other changes neees-
sary to such reorganization | stand
for: -
The consolidation of the Railroad,
Public Service and Tax Commissions,
the consolidation of other useful Of
fees and departments, where praetic-
able, and the abolition of all useless
Offices. departments and commis-
sions.
For the introduction of up-to-date
business methods in all state de-
partments.
For the restriction of legislation
to the essential needs of the state.

McArthur Brothers Locate Agencies and Sell Several Chesterfield
 Models on Trip

Remarkable success attended the southern Arizona tour of the McArthur brothers in their Chesterfield Six, one of their new Jeffrey models. The trip was over six hundred miles long, and the gasoline consumption averaged 16 A miles per gallon.
 In Tucson, the McArthurs named Shad Bowyer as sub-agent to handle both the Packard and Jeffrey. One Chesterfield Six was sold there
 The road from Tucson to Nogales was through the hills, which the Jeff pulled right back of the Packard. It took just two hours in Nogales to dis pose of two wire wheeled Jeffreys. One 9 day for the next two days completed the record there, the agency being turned over to Jeffrey and Levin The Packard was delivered here to Cover nor Maytorena.

 To the Arizona Republican and to the Tucson Citizen belong the honor of having nicknamed, or perhaps formal ly chrstened the new three seated roadster of the Studebaker line. Here's how it happened.
 Ten days ago The Republican ran story about the new cars that had just come to the Arizona Motor company. In the first paragraph, it was sug- gested that the innovation had been prepared to take care of the chaperon.
 In the Citizen pink of october 10, the story was reprinted, with the headline over it;
 "Chaporon Roadster. Studebaker's Latest"
 Wayland Wood, manager ot the local agency will take clippings from Ihe Republican and Citizen, and send them to the advertising department ot the Studebaker corporation, suggesting that Chaperon Roadster be made the regular name of the new model.

The Progressivsm of George J. Young

In the Arizona Gazette of Friday evening attack made upon the attitude of Hon. George U. Young the progressive candidate for governor, during the period preceding and including the stitutional convention toward those doctrines which have been included among progressive principles involving the theory of popular government.
 TheGazette inqures: Did any one hear of MT Young making speeches behalf pro- eressive principles those days? On the contrary he was at that time holding down an office under one of the most pronounced reactionares in the republican party.
 The writer of this speaks from personal know ledge when he declares that Mir Young had been an advocate of those principles long before they agtaed in the constitutional convention or in the campaign that preceded it. than year before MT. Young declared that the Oregon Plan" must prevail throughout the nation; that the peo- ple already rising in revolt against the and against the privileged interests which controlled the bosses.
 It is true that Mir Young was holding down an office under of the most pronounced reaction- aries of the republican party" Soon after his ap- pontment the office of secretary of the terri tory he astounded and angered republican leaders in speech Prescott which they said "reeked with radicalism'. Nr. Young was out of sympathy with his party in the pre-conventon campaign and he was allowed part in the county convention which adopted platform and nominated cand- dates for delegates the constitutional convention He stood aloof from his party throughout tle en- suing struggle and later he criticised the of the republican members the convention for their blind opposition to the rising principles of popular government.
 Within the time when the constitution was held up by President Taft MT. Young in a conversation with the writer, predicted that the obstinacy the president and his advisers and their failure to read the signs of the times, would wreck the republican party
 It should be added that Captain J. L. B. Alex ander also strongly urged the republicans of this county to include blanks favorng popular legisla- ton in the platform and that he too declared that failure to do so would overwhem the party in Arizona
 It is matter of fact that MT. Young was progressive like thousands other men in all parts of the country, long before the progressive party was formed; before the National Progressive League organized before the Gazette be- came a democratic newspaper.
