GIVE REDWOOD POSTS
FOR HIGHWAY SIGNS
California Timber Men Offer to Erect
Posts On Lincoln Way From Salt
Lake to San Francisco.

One of the first organizations to
hear the call for financial assistance
by the business men of San Fran
cisco for the Lincoln Highway AS
sociation was the California Red
wood Association
1t has donated to the Lincoln
Highway Association through the
California State Automobile Associ-
alton, redwood sign posts for the
1000 miles of this great highway
from Salt Lake City into San Fran
cisco, one of the most urgent needs
of the road builders.
The selection of redwood for these
sign posts was made for the two
fold reason that redwood is a dis
tinctive California product, and for
the reason that it has the greatest
living power of any species of lum-
ber
California being the western
terminus of the Lincoln Highway
makes it fitting that the last thous-
and miles should be marked with a
distinctive California product-the
lumber of the Big Trees.
The posts are to be set one to a
mile. They will be set rough and
have stenciled on the face, Red
wood-From California Big Trees"
That the Lincoln Highway finan-
cially benefits the towns, cities and
States through which it passes is
youched for by l. H. Kent of Fallon,
Nevada, one of the pioneer settlers
of that State, who operates one of
its largest general merchandise
stores. He is president of the
Chamber of Commerce of Churchill
County, Nevada, and local Consul
for the Lincoln Highway Association,
says a San Francisco newspaper cor
respondent.
Kent knows of several large
ranches in that section which were
sold last summer to overland tour
lists. He said that the hotels did a
good business all season, and as a
result of the advertising and publici-
ity given the Truckee-Carson irriga-
ton project several investments
were made in real estate.
That the people of Churchill
County, Nevada, thoroughly appreei-
ate what the Lincoln Highway
means to them was proved January
1st, 1916, when the Fallon Chamber
of Commerce secured the consent OF
the County Commissioners to spend
Sc, 900 out of $4,000 available at
that time for work on the County
road.

COMPLAIN PFIICANS ARE
EATING ALL THE FISH

Local sportsmen are convinced
that there is much truth in the bit
of verse about the bill of a pelican
holding more than the stomach of
the same bird. and as a result Con-
gresham f. E. Roberts is receiving
letters asking if some legislative ac-
ton cannot be taken against the
white pelicans at Lake Pyramid.
The objection made by the sports
men is that the pelicans eat up all
of the fish and as a scayenger they
are almost worthless. Each pelican
could eat six fish a day if the fish
were obtainable Estimated at three
fish a day, the number of pelicans at
Pyramid Lake. consume a ton of
fish each day. Fishermen say spare
the fish rather than the birds.

J: A. BAILEY RANCH

]. A. Bailey has transferred his
splendid ranch property on the
northern outskirts of Fallon to
George Wingfield. The deed to the
property was placed on record last
week, to the name of the Lander
County Live Stock Co., of which
Mr. Wingfeld is the owner The
Bailey ranch is one of the choicest
ranch properties in the valley and
has been in the ownership of the
Bailey family for thirty-seven years
1t consists of 200 acres, including a
20-acre tract on Old river, all under
cultivation. For many years much
of the land has been under intensive
cultivation for truck gardening and
sugar beets. Lying just east of the
sugar factory it is ideally located
for the raising of sugar beets and it
age will be thus employed next year.
The details of the transaction have
not been made public, but it is un-
derstood that the deal is a transfer
in which Mr.. Bailey traded the Fal-
Ion property for a GAO acre stock
ranch with cattle in Eureka county.
Mr. Bailey is now engaged in re-
branding the stock and will not re-
move to the new location until after
the first of next month.

TROUBLE BREWING IN
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION

There is trouble brewing in the
industrial commission says the Car
son Appeal. Chairman Mullen and
Commissioner Wallace had some hot
words yesterday evening, and it all
came about a claim of Ernest Il.
Brown of Tonopah before the COM
mission for injuries sustained while
in the employ of a concern which
comes under the industrial insurance
act. Mullen refused to pay the
claim as the employer was behind
in his premiums. Commissioner
Wallace took the opposite view and
was supported by Commissioner
Lennon. At the meeting Mullen
was overruled and the claim, amount
ing to over s1.400. was ordered
paid.

WEDS YOUNG ELECTRICIAN

of MI. A. w. Trabert at Quiet
Home Wedding Last Friday

The country home of Mr.. and
Mrs. William Rushby just north of
F'allon, was the scene of quiet
wedding at $50 o'clock last We'd
nesday, when their daughter. Miss
Lysle Rushby became the bride of
Mr.. Archie w. Trabert of Reno.
Only immediate relatives and friends
were present at the ceremony.

University of Nevada campus of
which institution both are gradu-
ates Since her graduation last
year the bride has been engaged as
teacher in the Fallon schools and
was deservedly one of the most pop
ular members of the corps of lady
teachers. She is the fortunate pos
SCISSOR of an unusually beautiful
voice and freely gave of her talent
to all occasions on request and
hence will be greatly missed in
musical circles.

to keep the contemplated wedding
secret it leaked out despite every
precaution and last Wednesday Miss
Rushby was the recipient of a sur
prise shower at the hands of her
teacher associates who denominate
themselves the Hopeless Seven,
and who brought many dainty and
useful articles as a reminder of the
esteem in which she is held by her
co-workers.
The groom passed an exception
ally fine examination in the electri-
cal engineering course. which he has
chosen as his life work and as a re-
suit was selected as one of a few to
enter a three-year student course
In practical training In the extensive
manufacturing plant of the General
Electric Co. at Schenectady, N. Y.
Mr.. Trabert is to be congratulated
on securing as his life companion

wishes of a host of friends of the
bride in Churchill county.

CREAMERY BUILDING IS
NOW BEING ENLARGED
Lack of Storage Room Necessitates
Addition of Twenty-Five Feet to
Main Building.

The new building of the Churchill
Creamery Co., finished Just about
year ago, has already proven too
small for the increased business
that has accumulated in the past
year. Contractor A. Henriksen is
now engaged in building an extern
sion on the west end of the building
which will add 22 feet to floor space.
The new addition will be used for
storage for the present, but will lat
er be converted into cold storage
room as the demand for increased
capacity in this department is re-
luired.
The equipment of the creamery
was installed with view to inevi-
table growth and as a result of this
foresight the present ice plant has a
capacity greatly in excess of present
requirement.
TIE addition will conform in ar
chitectural design to the original
building.

Emotions.

Emotions are what you have when
you are all stirred up; for example,
when you are in love or when a note
which you had previously forgotten
suddenly falls due. Also, when you
think you are writing poetry and when
you are leading one who is practically
a total stranger up to an altar, where,
by previous arrangement and design,
you have stationed a gentleman with
power to cause you more future trou-
BILE than you have ever dreamed OF.
Science tells US that something cannot
come out of nothing, yet emotions
seem to do this. A calm, placid lady
whom you have known and trusted for
years will suddenly have emotions
which will create an area of disturb
ance extending for miles in all direc-
tons. Emotions are felt but not seen.
II you could see an emotion coming
with the naked eye, you might be able
to avoid Ii. Some men can thus avoid
emotions when they see their wives
coming, but not when they have emo
tons themselves
Emotions are Of various kinds and
are variouSly expressed; New York
policeman expresses his with a club,
and every dog with the end of his
tail.-Life.

HY SEE where the police gets after
the Teller which is running the
Russian ballet" Barnett Zapp
said as he glanced over the bill of
fare in Wasserbauer's Restaurant.
Some theayter managers is very
lucky that way" Louis BirSky, the
real estater, said.
"How lucky?" Zapp demanded.
Because what the police calls bad,
looks awful good to a whole lot of peO-
pie. Yes, Zapp, all that show needs
is for the police to call it immoral,
and couple of orchestra seats down
front becomes right away as valuable
as two perfect matched pearls from
ten carats apiece" Birsky said. The
next time l get roped in for such a
thing 1 would go to an optician not
a Spectator and buy pair of hun
dred dollar field glasses, and stand up
for a dollar in the back of the gallery.
l could save lot of money that way"
"And was it so bad like the police
said?" Zapp asked.
swell, I'll tell you," Birsky replied.
"You wouldn't think ii to look at a
policeman what a delicate disposition
such a Teller has got. A New York
policeman will get red over something
in theayter which for years respect
able young fellers in the old country
has been taking their mothers to see

pared with the other ladies in the

bile to call on her husbands rela-
tions."
"Was the show so bad like the po-
lice said?" Zapp inquired once more.
swell, I'll tell you," Birsky repeat.
that show is immoral and they
should please look the matter up and
,oblige, Zapp, they try to put them
selves in the place Of the average
theayter goer; but the only thing is,
they got an idee that people which
goes most to the theayter was never
in such a place before In their lives.
In particular, when it comes to a
show like the Russian ballet where
the orchestra seats would cost five
dollars apiece at the box Office If they
was for sale there, the police thinks
that excepting the ushers everybody
in the theayter is visiting in New
York for the first time from a place
where they still got an idee that dol
