The Republican County Central
Committee met last evening In the
office of Grant Crumley with an en-
thusiastic attendance that was further
emphasized by the presence of sew
eral of the leaders from the southern
end OF the county. A number OF
prospective candidates appeared and
discussed the situation and the pros
poets of the campaign. The outside
precincts were represented by w. R.
Gibson and w. L. Gommo, of Round
Mountain; e. Palmer. Of Beatty. and
Ed. Bevis, Of Rhyolite. Each Of these
gentlemen spoke warmly of the in
terest taken in county affairs, espe-
cially since they all had good cause
for complaint In the matter OF the
distribution Of road funds. In the
vicinity of Rhyolite more work is
going ON than for years, yet the
amount of money spent on the roads

q. E. Palmer of Rhyolite, who is
engaged in general merchandising

he predicts that the day is not far
distant when the Amargosa valley
will be the scene of intense cultiva-
ton to an extent that Will supply the
camps of the county will all the small
fruits and vegetables required. The
line of waving alfalfa has steadily
spread from small fringe on the
banks of the Amargosa back to the
hills where water can be carried for
irrigation without expensive pumping
plants.
"The valley is from one to four
miles wide as at present cultivated

tai there is no reason why the recla
nation should not extend for the full
distance of forty miles where thu
ground is good and all that is needed
is water, which must be furnished b.

WHERE THE POWER SHOWS
Heavy Trucks That Are So Much Used for Commercial Purposes Effect
 Immense Saving.

Nowhere Is the automobile vehicle displayed in a higher degree of efii- ciency than in the big power-driyen coal trucks and the wagons for the conveyance of building materials, now SO common. The big coal truck car ries four, six, ten times the load of the old-time one-horse coal cart, and goes and comes four times as fast, and it's just the same with the brick and sand wagons.
 Here was big wagon loaded with brick coming up the street at a good smart clip to swing out in front of a building under construction, and there. with ample power, to back up to just where they wanted the brick dumped.
 There the driver starts the auto mntic tllting mechanism, and In a min ute he has dumped his big load and is of for another, with that tilted wagon body setting down into position again as he disappears down the street 1; really an engaging illustration of the big power-driven wagon as 1t is seen in action.

RX-Product Coke Oven.

The iron industry of this country has been adopting the by-product cOk- ing process at a marvellous rate. There are practically no by-product coke plants in the United States. which do not recover ammonia, tar and light oil (crude benzOD.
 in the vast majority of the plants also surplus gas is recovered and util- ized either at the plant itself or by distribution to outside consumers. There are possibly two or three very small by-product coke plants at which tar and ammonia are not recovered for disposal to the outside markets, but these would certainly represent con siderably less than l per cent of the total by-product cOking capacity of the country that is not now equipped with benzol-recovery plants, and the by-product coking plants now under construction have either contracted for benzol-recovery equipment or indicated a strong probability that such proyi- sion will be made.-Metaliurgic and Chemical Engineering.

SPEEDWAY RAGING A BORE
Writer Thinks Crowds Are Drawn to Them in the Hope of Seeing
 Smashup.

How far wrong was the autoist who once remarked that most folk are drawn to automobile speedway races by the hope of seeing someone killed7
 It Is the thrills 1t generates; the science 1t calls into play or the pleas ure 1t affords that usually draw crowds to athletic contests. But long. distance speedway racing is the one so- called sport that Is almost devoid of sensations; 1t is contest where the spirit of contest seems almost totally absent; a spectacle that prOyokes no real excitement after the first few min. utes. It becomes a monOtonous thing 10 watch long before the end has beer reached.
 And yet year after year thousands of persons attend these speedway races. True the major portion Of each crowd witnesses such races for the first and last time. It comes to see what can be seen-and 1t never comes back. Its place is taken the next yea, by another sonce-but-no-more" crowd But there are ''repeaters;" some per. sons do go back year after year to see the speed demons in their races agains' time-and against death.
 Automobile road racing has its thrills. Dash races on a speedway create some real shivery feelings along the spinal column. Both are real contests where the man element actually enters; where a race Is a race. But those 100 or POO or 300 mile races around a speedway are nothing but processions; little more than tests of motors and tires; a lonesome exhi bition to an extreme.
 And yet there are some people wht attend all the big speedway events What draws them there? Was the man right? Is 1t that the morbid hope of seeing q frightful smashup urge. them through the gates and into the stands?-ENchange.

Sand Sprays Prevent Skiddina.

A sandbox for motor trucks and au- tomobiles, operated in a manner sim liar to the sandbox of locomotives, but which spreads the sand sideways to prevent skidding, is one of the latest inventions. On eitber side of the car, below the running board, are sand boxes connected by piping with com pressed air cylinder situated at the back of the car under the seat. Air Is compressed by simple attachment to the driving shaft of the car. This and the discharge of sand are con trolled by a lever from the drivers seat. The compressed air forces out the sand, which is thrown against curved screens that depend from the running board immediately in front of the wheels. The screens reflect back the sand, throwing it to each side and thus making a sand track sufficiently wider than the wheels as to make it virtually impossible for these to skid. The invention promises to be cheap enough to come into common use, and ought to be useful on icy surfaces.

FIND VOLCANO IN MINDANa0
Recent Eruption Was Apparent, Lieu tenant DonneIly Says of the
 Discovery.

Mindanao has new-volcanO. accord ing to the Mindanao Herald. Lieuten- ant Donnelly, while on hike into the interior of Lanao province. discovered an active volcano in the Piagayungan range of mountains, which heretofore was not known to exist. Lieutenant Donnelly says of his discovery In the following report:
 June ., 1916, the undersigned, in command of combined detachment of the First Cotabato company, and the First General Service company on reconnaissance patrol from Kapaad northwest through the Plagayungan mountain range, came in sight of an active volcano which from all indica- tons had recently erupted discharge of volcanic ash and either smoke or flame.
 From the fact that foliage in the forest on the mountain sides three miles to the southeast had been scorched as though by flame, hot smoke or toxic gas, and that ground vegetation of scrub grass and weeds had been partially destroyed, leaving the stalks intact and the scorched leaves retaining their form, it was thought that the eruption had been recent At all events, so recent that the wind had not blown away nor de- stroyed the fragile remnants of the burned foliage"
