LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONES
ALONG LINCOLN HIGHWAY
Ely Telephone Man Proposes to Run
Wires to Connect All Nevada
With East and West.

James s. Bennett, general man
ager of the White Pine Telephone
company. who has Just rturned from
San Francisco after attending a con-
vention of the telephone pioneers oi
America. is planning for large ex.
tension of the long distance tele-
phone service in this State, according
to the White Pine News. Remark
able advancement has been made In
the perfecting of the telephone in the
last few years, and especially in the
last year. until now it is possible to
conduct conversation across the
continent as easily as across the
street. AS outlined by the News
Mr.. Benefits plan is to run a double
copper wire service along the Lin
coin Highway from Salt Lake to Ely
on through Hamiltin and Eureka to
Reno, from which point a like con
lection will be made with Tonopah
and Goldfiold. 1t is proposed to
have cut-in stations one mile apart
By means of these stations no ira
veler could ever become stranded at
greater distance than a half mile
from a telephone station from which
he could call for relief. The ira
veler could procure an instrument
from a station at either end by pay
ing small deposit upon 1T, just suf-
ficient to insure its return in proper
condition when he reached the sta
ton at the other end of his journey
The Lincoln Highway as pointed out
by Mr.. Bennett makes an ideal right
of way and the advantage to the
public would be SO great that pay
ing business would soon be estab-
lished.
Among Mr.. Benefits personal
friends OF years standing and with
whom he took up the proposition are
J. j. Carly, chief engineer of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company; T. D. Lockwood. chief engi-
neer American Bell Telephone COM
pany, G.. X. Armstrong, superinten-
dent of the commercial department,
Intermountain Telephone and Tele-
graph company; w. e. Huntington,
superintendent of traffic department
American Telephone and Telegraph
company.
TIE State OF Nevada is in the ter
ritory covered by the Pacific Tele-
phone and Telegraph company, and
both Mr.. Carly and Mr.. Lockwood,
who became very enthusiastic over
the proposition. assured Mr.. Bennett
as their friend of SO many years,
that the matter would be promptly
taken up with the Pacific T. & t.
company. and the construction of the
line could be figured on in the very
near future.

Board of Health Fired.

Acting with a suddenness that
came as a surprise the city council
of Reno at a special meeting virtu-
ally dismissed Doctors Samuel Berg
stein and M A. Robson from the
city board of health retaining Dr. w.
L. Samuels and providing that he
perform all the duties of the board
and receive the entire salary of 800
monthly For the last two months
the council and the board of health
have not been in thorough accord.
The refusal of the council to pro-
vide an automobile for DR. Robson,
whose duties included tests of milk
from dairies supplying Reno custom
ers was the first indication OF a
break.-Reno Gazette.

IS NEEDED
AGAINST TRESLASSERS
Show That 53 Per
Cent of Accidents on Railroads
Are Due to This Cause.

In the last 25 years approximate
ly 214,000 people have been killed
on the railroads of the United States
and of this number 113, 3,4S0, or over
SO per cent trespassers" said r. J..
Clancy. assistant to the General Man
ager of the Southern Pacific, speak
ing before the. Civic Auditorium
Safety Conference in San Francisco
September 2Sth.
"Trespassing. he continued re
suits in more. people being killed SO
far as railway operation is Concerned
than fromsall' other causes; yet legis-
lative bodies; state. and national,
have confinedstheirseffoEt entirely to
safety appliance,legislation and have
continued to disregard. the appeals
for trespass Legislation made to them
by the cemeteries and hospitals of
this country every day of every year.
A careful review of statistics makes
the conclusion irresistible that care in
the employment of men and require
ment of safe practices, supplemented
by trespass legislation effectively ad-
ministered will do more to lessen
rail casualties than all the safety
devices genius has afforded.
"The United tSates is the only CIV
ilized country in the world that has
failed to legislats against trespas-
sing, the consequence of which is
best illustrated in comparison with
similar results in other civilized
countries where legislation against
trespas5 obtains and where the cas-
alties incident to trespass are very
few in comparison with the United
States.'
Mr. Clancy called attention to re-
suits, of observation tests on auto
mobiles, teams, and pedestrians at
railway crossings and the impor-
tance of safety practices in this con-
nection.
'In 1914" he said "at different
crossings taken promiscuously to OBJ
tain average conditions out of 49,
4S2 automobiles, 17,755 teams and
54.3S5 pedestrians or total of S9,-
072, with the number of tracks at
such crossings varying from / to
100, 139, or only fifteen hundredths
of one per cent stopped and looked
in both directions.
superintendent w. H. Whelan of
the Los Angeles division of the Com
pany called attention to the South
ern Pacific expenditures in safety
work.
1.-THE trouble of the company's ac-
tivities in this direction are reflected
in its accident record" he said For
tn month of June, 1915 for instance,
the number of employees injured per
1000 dropped from per cent last
year to per cent this year"

Plan 100 Mile Marks for Lincoln
Highway.

The Lincoln Highway is 1884
miles long reaching from New York
to San Francisco Each 100 miles
along the route marks definite unit
in the relative distance from one ter
minal or the other 1t has been
wisely suggested by Henry B. JOY,
president of the Lincoln Highway
Association, that a Iarge sign be
erected at every 100-mile point from
coast to coast. These would arouse
an undoubted interest and be of the
greatest value to the tourists. The
communities coming at each 100
miles could we'll afford to place such
marker on the Highway since 1t
would be a medium that would
always attract attention and thus re-
turn to the locality particular in
terest that might Otherwise be lack

W|NCFlELD'S HAND IS SEEN
IN BIG RAILWAY PROJECT
Nevada Millionaire is Thought to be
Deeply Interested In the Oregon,
California a. Eastern.

Last Sundays San Francisco Ex-
aminer has the following story that
will be of interest to the Nevada
friends of George Wingfield.
The millions of George Winfield
will figure prominently in the latest
big railroad development plan on the
Pacific Coast. according to gossip in
railroad quarters yesterday. While
the Nevada mining mans name is
not among the sponsors for the Ore
gon, California and Eastern Railway
Company, organized Thursday in
Portland, those familiar with railroad
finances here credit him with heavy
share in the $7,000,00O expenditure
outlined
Wingfield became a director of the
Nevada-C california Oregon Railway a
month ago.
Now, with the announcement of
the new company, comes the state
ment that 1t Is proposed to connect
the Nevada, California and Oregon at
Lakeyiew with the Hartman and
Hill lines at Bend, Ore, by a stretch
of new track ITO miles long. A line
will also be built connecting these
systems with the Oregon Short Line
in Harney valley. Also, the Nevada,
California, Oregon will be joined to
the Southern Pacific's Klamath line
by a sixty branch from Silver
Lake valley to Kirke, and a thirty
mile branch will be built from Lake
view easterly to Warner valley.
A fact considered significant is
that Robert l.. Strathorn, who built
the North Coast and other Hartman
lines in the Northwest. viii put
through tho new construction pro-
gramme Southern Pacific officials
have denied rumors of their desire to
control the Nevada, California, Or
egon right of way.
The line passes from Goose Lake
valley through Modoc, Lasson and
Plumas counties, connecting with the
Southern Pacific at Amedee, Lassen
county, and again at Reno, where
II has its terminal. By the pro-
posed connection, II will open up
eastern Oregon and northeastern
California to eastern traffic without
the necessity of hauling over the
mountains into the Sacramento val-
ley, and then up through the valley
and over the mountains OF Siskiyou
county into Oregon.
Reports have been frequent in the
past that the Hill interests were
angling for the Nevada, California,
Oregon. The road has been In the
control of Charles Moran of New
York. a broker. who. II has been
said. was holding the property mere
ly so q speculation.
The railroad is a narrow gauge,
with only Is locomotives, 30 passen-
rer cars. and $50 other cars. but 1t
has a right of way 275 miles long
that affords the most direct connec-
tion between eastern Oregon and the
Southern Pacific east of the Sierra
Nevada mountains.

INFORMATION ON ROADS
is GREATLY APPRECIATED
Idaho Tourist Writes That He Found
Lincoln Highway In
Good Condition.

The value of road information was
brought out very clearly this morn

ceiyd a letter from DR.. G.. w. States
of Preston, Idaho. who passed
through Reno ten days ago on his
way home. DIR. States was return
ing from the exposition, and he had
travelled west over the Overland trail
which at that time was in fair con-
dition. He consulted the secretary
of the club on his way back and was
advised to use the Lincoln Highway.
Relative to the roads he encountered
on the trip, he writes.
II am very grateful to you, in.
deed, for your excellent advice COM
cerning the roads from your splen-
did little city to Salt Lake found
that there is no comparison in the
roads as. between the Overland trail
and the Lincoln Highway | do not
believe we had more than 20 or 80
miles altogether that you could call
bad l, because of business, left the
Lincoln Highway at Ely and went to
Milford, Utah, and on up through
Nephi and Provo to Salt Lake.
But in Salt Lake | talked with
others of our party who followedsthe
Lincoln Highway all the way to Salt
Lake who said the road from Ely to
Salt Lake, taken as whole, were
better than the roads from Renosto
Ely. BY going to Milford the. way
is much longer by perhaps rs or'100
miles, but the road is very fine.''--
