Well, what Lem Perkins done

weeks a short distance the other side
of the summit.
Mr.. Kinkead started for the coast
and ran into a snowstorm and was

a fruitless endeayor to dig his way
out. For time twas thought that
it would be necessary to await the
opening spring before the car could
be salvaged, but fortunate break
in the weather conditions permitted
second and successful attempt.

of four horses and after consider

to be the last survivor of that gal
liant band of men who we're with
Gen. Geo. A Custer at the massacre
of his command by the Sioux at the
battle of the Little Big Horn, June

witnessed the fall of General Gus
ter and told the story of the battle
in vivid and picturesque style.
The lecture was illustrated with
views of the battlefield and numer-
Gus drawings and paintings of the
battle as prepared from descriptions
by the only white men who survived
the conflict. Mr. Chapman will re-
peat his lecture this evening and all
who failed to hear him last night

to hear the true story of this great
historical battle.

CALIFORNIA NOW RALLYINC
TO ASSISTANCE OF NEVADA
Awakened to Realization of the
Value of the Lincoln Highway, are
Busy Raising Funds.

1t is apparent from a perusal of
the San Francisco papers that the
people of the Bay cities of Californ-
ia are at last awakening to the i'm
portance of the Lincoln Highway as
route for transcontinental tourists
headed for the Golden West.
When the suggestion was first
bruited that California should assist
Nevada in improving the highway, 1t
was received with cold shrugs of in
difference and the remark made that
care of its own roads. Gradually it
began to sink into the consciousness
of these selfish individuals that per-
haps Nevada was less interested in
financial way in the maintenance of
/ the highway than were or should be
the people of northern California,
who were the chief benefciaries as
being the ultimate goal of ninety
per cent of the transcontinental
travellers.
Now they are beginning to place
the highway on a par with the rail-
roads in its local economic value and
to encourage its use 1t becomes Wit
ally important that the section across
Nevada receive that attention which

Of Io1 10,
cally.
Word comes that Robert Newton
Lynch, vice president and managing
director of the San Francisco Cham
Der of Commerce has become active
ly interested in the campaign for
raising funds to be expended in Me-
vada and has expressed the belief
that such help will be forthcoming
once a proper understanding of the
situation is reached by the business
men of the Bay cities.
AS an earnest of their intention
to push matters to a successful con-
clusion, Mr. Lynch and Mr.. Manly of
the industrial and publicity bureaus
of the S. F. Chamber of Commerce
recently visited Detroit where they
were in conference with the officials
of the Lincoln Highway with the
idea of furthering activities during
the winter and be prepared to pre-
sent a tangible evidence of their
work in the spring.
