TO REPAIR
MUDFlAT ROAD
TRAVELLERS IN SOUTHERN Ne
VADA MEET WITH NO
SUCH OBSTACLES

Some 25 miles east of Fallon,
Nevada, on the route of the great
transcontinental road, the cross
country traveller reaches the famous
Mud Flats" at Sand Springs, a
stretch about IL miles in extent,
which has long been the stumbling
block in the path of transcontinentdl
traffic. These flats lie on the bar
rem open range of the wide, unin-
habited Nevada desert. No vega
tation. no growing or living thing
breaks the monotony of the view
save the distant rise of the noun
tain heights.
The road proper is deeply furrow-
ed by the heavy traffic to and from
the nearby mines, and extreme diff
Guilty in securing traction is ell
countered once a vehicle leaves the
travelled grade. The flats, known To-
! cally as "sinks," are in reality, the
bottom of prehistoric lakes and
they are made up of a fine aka
line dust which, two or three inches
below the surface, is kept con-
stantly wet and plastic by the seep-
age from the surrounding noun
tains.
These flats constitute at present
what is the worst section of the
Lincoln Highway between New York
and San Francisco, and it is at this
point that aid must be given to
the state of Nevada and to Churchill
county, if acceptable driving condi-
tions are to be secured, and If an
open road devoid of hazard or I'M
usual difficulties is to connect the
teeming east with the superb scenic
grandeurs of California and the
other coast states.
The work of the national organi-
cation OF the Lincoln Highway asso-
citation embraces not only the duties
of a general clearing house for uni
ted effort in the matter of road
Improvement along the route from
New York to San Francisco, but
further stands as the medium
through which needed aid is brought
to those communities unable to
carry the burden of expense in
rightly constructing their own local
sections of the road.
The state of Nevada is forced to
ask outside assistance in the build
ing of her section of the Lincoln
Highway. The reason is expressed
by the mayor of Reno, Frank Bylng-
ton, Lincoln Highway local consul
in this way: 1--WE want the tourists,
we want good roads; but Nevada
has 425 miles of Lincoln Highway,
between it's borders, an area oi
10000 square miles and a popula-
tion of less than eighty thousand
What can we do? Nevada is anx-
ious and willing to do her share
but it is readily apparent that she
cannot build her Lincoln Highway
alone"
Churchill county, where the mus
flats are located has an area oil
over 5000 square miles and a popu,
lation of but 5000. Despite this
handicap, last year over 0,000
or an amount equivalent to ovel
$3.50 for every man, oma and
child in the county, was spent or
road construction. What this means
can be appreciated by stating that
the burden per inhabitant is the
equivalent of the construction o.
a Brooklyn bridge by the popula'
ton of Greater New York!

Louis Disbrow, one of the profess
sional automobile racers who APP
peared at the Winneshiek county
fair last fall has given up the racing
game, as the following from yester-
days Chicago Tribune will attest:
Louis Disbrow, noted auto car rae
er, met Miss Harriet May Henry OF
1913 Winona avenue last summer
And that's the reason he will never
go the two mile a minute pace again
with the speed demons. Miss Henry.
right at the outset, explained that
she wouldn't be the widow Of speed
demon. Disbrow renowned the
wheel in the space humiliation
game, and yesterday wedding Ii
cense was taken out at the city hall.
The former pilot is now in the SER
vice of the Chicago department of the
Marmon company. The couple will
make their home in Cleveland.

QUOTING BEN BEAR.
WaullOn and McGregor Papers Com
ment on His Recent Trip to
New York.

Ben Bear, the widely known De-
orah clothier, goes to New YORK
twice a year to buy goods and while
there always writes lengthy and in
Iteresting letters to the DEBORAH pap
ers in which he comments upon cur
rent affairs as he finds them in that
big metropolis. This is what impress
sed him on his visit last week:
Being in the largest city in the
world / have tried to concern myself
as to the general feeling about the
war situation, not from the stand
point of one side or the other, but
rather the effect of it On the United
States. Of one thing l am convinc-
ed, since getting about here, and that
is the evidence among sound think
ing men in all lines of business, that
preparedness" in the States is not
only advisable but absolutely neces-
sary. New York has every evidence
of prosperity. Never saw so much life
and doings in all my travels here.
People spend money easily, the stores
are crowded, and there is hardly a
room to be had in any Of the first
class hotels.-Waukon Democrat.
Ben Bear, the we'll known clothing
dealer of DEBORAH, writing to the De-
corah papers from New York City
says the metropolis of the western
hemisphere has every evidence OF
prosperity. He has made eighty
semi-annual trips covering a period
of forty years, and he says he has
never seen as much life or as much
going on as at the present. Business
| is booming; twelve and fifteen story
buildings are being torn down in or
der to erect others twice as high; ele.
waited lines have increased their ser.
vice, and the prosperous conditions
land advancing prices on all raw ma.
terials together with quotations on
the stock exchange, gives a feeling
that prosperity will continue even II
there is final settlement of the war
Most manufacturers have enough do
mestic trade without looking to for
eign customers. This report from
a business man of long experience
and wei! known integrity, qualified
by this experience to judge of bust
ness conditions, does not have an ap
pearance resembling that terrible
state of affairs that certain politi.
clans would have US believe existed

1t is impossible for me to tell you

our stock will oe immense; our pri-
ces will be reasonable and we will be
able to guarantee colors and quality
pretty nearly as well this season as
any previous one. 1t is true that the
German dyestuff has put big hamp-
er on all sorts of merchandise, not
alone in our line, but in every other
line where dyestuffs must be used
and as am SO well acquainted in the
market, l feel sure that our patrons
will have no fault to find with our
goods and prices.
We are showing the finest suits
that have ever been seen here. We
will absolutely guarantee the best
and lowest prices and we will make
the statement again, as we have done
many times before, no matter wha-
you buy from US, whether it be a
purchase of $1.00 or $1,000, every
thing we sell rs guaranteed and
goods will be cheerfulIy taken back
for exchange, or money refunded, il
they are not perfectly satisfactory
TO the customer We want you to
come and see us. We want you to
feel that this store is ''the store oil

to as with the fullest confidence and
select goods they may need, feeling
that what they buy has quality in it

any customers money unless we give
| full value for it.
