ELKO TO JARB|DGE
ROAD A CERTAINTY

Last night J. P. Martin. civil ensi-
neer for the forest service, arrived
from the Ogden office and is making
preparations today to start on the tour
OF inspection OF the several routes
from here to ,Jarbidge. Mr.. Martin will
meet B. G. Mcbride today and they
will make preparations for the trip.
They will go to Deeth tonight where
they will be met by C. II. Kendall, a
government engineer from the public
roads department OF the Interior
branch office at Ogden. Tomorrow the
three men will go out from Deeth and
go over the several routes to find the
one most feasible. Mr. Mcbride Will
represent Elko county and these three
engineers will be sure to find the most
accessible route into this fast growing
mining camp. AS matters stand at the
present a great deal OF business Is
transacted through the state OF Idaho.
AS this camp Is In Nevada the business
should be kept within the state as
far as 1t can, consistently with iudg-
ment and expectancy. The county and
the federal government will cooper
ate In the building OF the road and the
expense will be shared between them.
The reason the government is inter.
ested to such an extent Is because the
new road will open I'D a good portion
vi the forest reserve from which the
government will receive greater re-
venues II the grazing lands are open
to highway. In selecting the. route
for the road they will consider the
route that can be kept open all the
year round with the least effort and
expense. The camp Is now becoming
so important that the necessity Of
easier accessibility Is growing TO
point where steps must be taken at
once by officials or the mining opera
tors will build a road themselves. and
in doing so they will take the route
that Is easiest for them to build The
road. II built by the mining operators,
would be most certain to 20 out
through Idaho. II Is expected to build
the road this summer and by next win
ter Jarbidge will. In all probability, be
one Of the leading camps Of the state.

TO SMOKE HEADS OFF

An amusing incident occurred in
the assembly chamber this morning
when Senator Hussman entered smok.
ing a cigar. He was spied by Assem-
blyman Fulmer, who promptly mott
fled the speaker OF the violation OF
Rule So. He followed with a motion
that as punishment Hussman be fined

vailed.
Game to the core, Senator Huss.

PAYDAY BILL WAS
POSTPONED INDEFINITELY

The defeat by indefinite postpone
ment of the semi.monthly payday bill
was the chief topic of conversation
Wednesday about the corridors of the
capitol and considerable disappoint-
ment was expressed by the friends of
the measure that the senate had taken
that particular means of disposing of
it.
BY postponing the bill Indefinitely
the senate precludes any further con-
sideration of the subject matter con-
tanned in 1t during the present ses.
sion.
Senator Harrington made an effort
to have the "killing" done on the
merits Of the measure but the opposi.
tion proved too solid.
After the bill had been disposed OF
Senator Thatcher, who led the opposi-
ton forces, said that the bill had TO
be disposed of in that manner in order
TO block an entirely new bill coming
from the assembly eliminating some OF
the features of the bill then being con-
sidered but with the main feature re-
naming.
I'VE had to postpone the measure in

order to protect ourselves from future

. WASHINGTON, Feb 9.-Late re-
rt)-Alfred Clark, the Washington
correspondent of the New York paper.
contradicted the testimony of Secre-
tary Lansing on the leak Investigation
He said that Lansing mentioned TO
him the effect that the peace note
would have on the stock market as
one reason why Lansing did not want
the note printed prematurely.
He said he asked Lansing IL he could
use the story for the afternoon papers
and claimed that the reason lansing
refused the privilege was the market.
Lansing said when he testified that
:he market did not even enter his head.
