HUDSON SUPER-SIX TRYING
TO BEAT MARhON RECORD
Covers Distance from San Francisco
to Fallon i'm Ten Hours and
FOrty-Nine Minutes.

A Hudson Saper-Six automobile.
driven by w. s. Storm. passed
through Fallon last Monday in an
attempt to beat the record recently
made by the Marmon car for the
transcontinental trip.
II. o. Harrison, the Hudson ag-
ents at San Francisco are pulling
off the trial. The car left San Fran
cisco at 1901 Monday morning and
arrived in Fallon at 1850, or 10
hours and 40 minutes out from the
city. which included the 35 minutes
required to cross the ferry. They
came over the Placerville route to
Carson and via Lahontan to F'allon.
leaving Reno out.
Arrangements had been made for
a pilot out of here and "Chick
Thomas came over from Austin to
direct them over the route, but the
driver concluded that they would
make the trip without guidance and
left here at IL O'Clock and an hour
and a half later was reported at
Frenchman S station, having made
the 35 miles across what is usually
termed the worst piece of road on
the Lincoln Highway IN an hour and
half
The driver of the car stated that
he was routed from Austin to Elko,
but Just what is expected to be gain
ed in the way of better roads or time
by this route is a mystery to those
who are familiar with the various
routes.

early but had been compelled to give

FALLON CANTELOUPE CROP
PROMISES TO BE EXCELLENT

Some fears have been expressed
that the unusual frosts of last month
had interfered with the development
and maturing of the famous Fallon
canteloupe crop This has proven
unfounded and while the luscious
melons will be a little late due to
the backward season the first arriv-
ais on the market give evidence that
they are fully up to the standard
that has made them famous in every
market where they have been placed.
o. J. Vannoy, who is one of the
largest growers and who has made a
speciality of the business for several
years past states that his crop is
coming along nicely and unless cold
weather sets in to spoil the market,
he expects to have a demand for all
that he has raised

H. C. OSTERMANN, LINCOLN
HIGHWAY BOOSTER, IS HERE
States That Funds Will Shortly be
Available for Road Work in
Churchill County.

II. c. Ostermann, field secretary
of the Lincoln Highway Association
came into Fallon yesterday morning
from San Francisco, where he has
been for several weeks past arous-
ing interest in California for con-
tributions to the improvement of
the Highway through Nevada, with
especial reference to that portion of
the route lying in Churchill county.
He is accompanied through this dis
trict by Jos. E. Caine, State consul
for the State of California, who will
make thorough inspection of the
route with the view of making rec
concentrations for the most judicious
expenditure of the sum of fifty
thousand dollars which is now being
raised to improve the Lincoln High
way from Ely west to the Nevada
California State line.
Mr.. Ostermann is more than
pleased with the success of his eff
forts and states that there Is no
question but that sufficient funds
will be raised in the cities around
the bay with what has already been
contributed by eastern automobile
enthusiasts to place the roads across
Nevada In condition that will make
them equal to that of any section
west of the Rocky Mountains.
The business men of Northern
California are at last awakening to
the fact that their section of the
State Is losing a tremendous amount
of business that is now going to the
southern part of that State through
their apathy and lack of enterprise.
Los Angeles, which never overlooks
an opportunity to grab everything
in sight in the way of tourist travel
by whatever means of conveyance,
has had advance agents scattered all
along the line of the Lincoln High
way all season whose business 1t is
mental auto tourists get into north
ern California until the southland
has had the first "whack' at them.
Ely and Salt Lake are the two prin-
cipal points of activity and it is safe
to say that at least two thirds of
the traffice that would normally go
direct to San Francisco have been
diverted at Ely and sent over the
southern route.
The principal argument used has
been the mud flats across the Carson
sink, which have been enormously
described as practically impossible,
Notwithstanding the fact that auto
stages and trucks are making the
trip every day in the year on fast
schedule time.
Mr.. 0stermann states that some
method will have to be devised to
eliminate the Sand Springs flats. as
it is the opinion of the best engi-
neers that the cost of a substantial
roadbed there would be practically
prohibitive. This will mean that
either grade will be constructed
around the flats, or a new route laid
out across the Silver range Yester-
day Mr.. Ostermann went over the
route via Saltwater and Mountain
Wells, with a view of determining
the practicability of that route,
which has been recommended as a
solution of the problem.

Ballot Paper Arrives

Secretary of State Brodigan has
been relieved OF considerable ankle
ty by the arrival of the ballot paper
for the coming fall election. The
threatened tie-up of the railroads by
the strike and the shortage of paper

concern. but his fears were allayed
by the arrival of the paper yester-

CODY, Wyo., Sept. 20.-Details of
the killing of Jack Welch, freighter,
by u bear IN Yellowstone Park several

ing beneath a wagon and a third man

other, although without arms, in ac-
cordance with the park regulations
went to Welch 5 rescue and threw ba-
con 10 it. The bear abandoned Welch
for the bacon and his companion
dragged him away.
Shortly aftcrward tourist arrived
in an automobile, Welch was loaded
into the machine and hurried to the
Muse Tourist camp, where he died. The
bear, after finishing the bacon, at
tackled the load in the wagon. over

ter of war to investigate the latest
German methods of treatment of
soldiers suffering from nervous collapse
and kindred ailments, Doctor Zee
handelaar of the Dutch army medical
service, also took advantage of his stay
in Berlin to look into the question of
the alleged chronic underfeeding in the
German capital.
81 went for the purpose writes
Doctor Zeehandelaar, ''to Wannsee
lake, the popular family bathing re
sort, where ! was able to inspect some
thousands of Berliners of all ages,
stripped to the buff. l only wish my
city patients looked like them. The
feeding in Berlin is said to be the
worst in Germany with the exception
of the garrison towns. But if much
privation has to be suffered, there is
no real hunger. / took my meals pur-
poscly in the most simple eating
houses. Food is much dearer than
normally; but there is still sufficient

longer because the stamina of the peo-

gerated, if not entirely incorrect. Your
German now takes his coffee without
sugar, his potatoes without gravy,
his-not very palatable-bread with
just suspicion of butter or only with
jam, and he puts up with a couple or
meatless days a week. Consequently
he has lost his proverbial rotundity
but if he fares poorly he is still fan
from starving
Doctor Zeehandelaar also took oc.
casion to inquire at the German min
istry of foreign affairs about the de
tention Of so many doctors and nurs
ling personnel of the entente armies
in Germany. He was given to under
stand that this was a measure of re
prisal evoked by the holding back OF
German medical men in France ant
Russia. His informants acknowledged
that such Imprisonment is in confic
with the Convention of Geneva; bu
they added that an agreement woul,
probably be reached soon with Rus
STA and France by which all those di
rectly connected with the medical ser
, vices would be released, except
small percentage who were absolutel
, necessary to attend to their own in
lprisoned compatriots.

day at meeting in the Centre Con-
gregational chapel at which the pre-
siding officer was James L. Tryon OF
Boston, director Of the New England
department of the American Peace So
ciety. Mr.. Tryon explained that the
officers were in such widely separated
places that they could not do effective
work and that as the majority of the
members were in Bratt1eboro it had
been thought best to have the head
quarters here and elect the main body
of officers from among the Brattleboro
members.
Walter A. Gilbert was chosen tempo
rary secretary. Hon. Frank Plumley of
Mortified was elected honorary presi-
dent. The election of a president and
secretary was deferred, the choice to
| be made by the board of directors
Other officers were elected, as follows:
Vice presidents, Rev Richard II. Clapp
Rev. George E. Tomkinson and DR.
Henry D. Holton; treasurer, Fred W
Putnam; directors, Miss Mary r. Cabot
Mrs. Charles II. Thompson. George L
Durham, Rev. Delmar E. Trout, Henry
Bond, Mrs. Julius J. Estey, DR.. Charlie:
G. Wheeler, Edgar B. Smith and Wal
ter A. Gilbert.
It was voted that this society be
come a state division of the reorgan
lied American Peace society, also tina
the constitution be revised to meet tn,
