Road Bill
Changed

What is alleged to be deliberate
alteration or mistake that cannot be
excused, was found in the state high
way bill few days ago, and steps
have been taken to call the attention
OF the highway commission to the
matter when the appointment Is
made by Governor Boyle and no
doubt will be adjusted.
When the highwey bill was before
the legislature an attempt was made
to designate route as leading from
Carson to Yerington via Dayton.
The Representatives of Douglas coun-
ty Immediately got busy. as did As
semblyman Tidd of Smith Valley with
the result that the route was chang
ed to lead from Carson City, Carson
Valley, Douglas county and Smith
Valley. Lyon county. thereby putting
the road through two of the richest
valleys in the state and over a fine
route.
The assembly journal on March 6
1917, shows the amendment passed
and the original bill carries the
amendment written in the proper
place The senate journal shows the
amendment was never repealed, but
for some reason after the bill passed
both houses carrying this amendment
the change was stricken out before ii
reached the governors office and the
measure was finally signed without
the amendment.
Those who are interested In getting
the error Strengthened out, expect to
take the matter up with the highway
commission and ask the commission
TO designate the Carson Valley and
Smith Valley route as the most avail
able and practicable route" the words
substituted for Carson Valley and
not obtained. seek redress in court
upon the theory that a fraud or mis-
take has been made as shown by the
records of the legislature in the case.
The commissioners of Douglas
county have already planned several
thousand dollars of work on this road
aud have the machinery purchased to
carry it though. 1t has been their de-
sire to work in conjunction with the
highway commission in building the
new road. believing all the time thar
route 3 was specifically designated
By legislative enactment as passing
through this Valley.

Market
Report

The following market letter is
furnished the Record-Courier by the
Nevada Packing company.
The receipt of hogs during the past
week has been little heavier The
market, however, has taken another
advance OF half cent per pound.
Monday We paid the following price:
For hogs weighing 750 to 300 lbs,
where the averaged over 175-- lac
Where they averaged under lis 1874
Hogh weighing 100 to 150------12A
Heavy rough hogs gs---------- 13A
There is evidence that farmers are
taking advantage of the high market
to feed mere hogs. There is every
indication of that the price of live
hogs will go still higher and that the
present high prices will be maintain
ed until we'll after the next harvest.
With the shortage of food products
all over the world it is questionable
whether present high prices will not
be maintained until after peace is de-
clared.
The tendency on provisions, fresh
pork cuts, and lard, is of course, in
sympathy with the price of live
hogs and several advances have been
made in the past ten days. Prospects
are that provisions will reach still
higher levels to keep pace with the
rapidly advancing market on hogs.
The present situation calls for
strenuous efforts by everyone who
owns land capable of producing ad-
ditional crops of ali kinds. and heed
should be given to the Presidents
Proclamation callirg for additional
efforts by farmers and everyone cap
able of cultivating more soil to do
their utmost in this respect.
1t lis an absolute impossibility for
this country to produce an over sup
ply and thus deprcss Che market next
year. Reserve stocks of all kinds are
practically exhausted, and Il will un-
doubtedly be necessary to have two
or three years of bumper crops in
order to replace depleted reserves.

Dam Not
Faulty

A report was circulated through
the Valley Wednesday that the dam
of the Douglas Power company on the
Carson river was washing out A
representative of this paper went up
to the dam and found, as was exepct-
ed, that there was absolutely no
truth to the statement
When the accident occurred last
week in which one of the workmen
lost his life, big flood gate at the
bottom OF the dam was being filled
with cement and rocks. The men
were laid off for a few days, and in
the meantime the warm weather
caused the river to rise rapidly and
the work was necessarily Abandoned
Wednesday the water was within a
few inches of running over the spill
way, when the partially completed
filling in the food gate was washed
out, causing the water in the dam to
lower rapidly.
No further attempt to close the
flood gate will be made until high
water season is over In the mean
time, the cement walls of the power
house below the dam will be complet-
ed and all machinery set in place,
ready for operation when the river
lowers sufficiently to allow work to
proceed in filling the extra flood gate.

Automatically Drafted When
 They Fail to Report

Because they did not heed their mo- tices to report at Prescott, 161 Je- rome registrants have been drafted into the army.
 Postmaster w. s. Adame has re- ceived from Colonel Fred S. Breen 161 notices to local registrants who failed to appear and therefore are deemed to have waived all exemp- ton claims. Most of the notices were dated September 6 but some were dated later. The registrants to whom they are addressed have five days from the dates of their notices to report to the adjutant general in person, by wire or by letter. Those who do not report will be regarded as deserters from the army.

LOCAL COMPANIES
 BUY SEWER BONDS

Two big copper companies and the two banks of Jerome will handle the sewer bonds of Jerome which have been voted and are to be issued to the amount of s40,000. This was fi- nally agreed to at last week's meet ing of the city council.
 In the case of the companies it is not expected that they will make 9 resale, but will take them for an in vestment for the benefit of their stockholders. The banks will handle them in the main for resale, which will be affected as opportunity offers.
 The amount going to each was not stated at the meeting, but it is known that there is an understanding between the four parties at interest. It is believed that the amounts will be apportioned according to the finan- cial ability of each under such an un- derstanding.
 The bonds are to run fifteen years and bear 5 per cent annual interest. They are taken by these buyers at par.-Jerome Sun.

LAYING OUT TWO
 ROADS FOR RED LAKE

Engineer Goodman, formerly em- ployed in laying out the Williams Flagstaff road, has been engaged by the county supervisors to survey two county roads for Red Lake Valley, and, with his surveying party, MT. Goodman is now engaged in this work.
 One of the roads will connect with the Spring Valley road and run down the valley to the Grand Canyon road, striking it about a mile south of the Red Lake Station. The other will be- gin at the Red Lake school house and join the Williams-Flagstaff road near the Geo. Rounseville ranch. This lat ter road will make a much shorter route to Williams for the ranchers, and the other will be used for ship ping purposes. The latter will be completed this fall and the former some time next year. The purpose in having both surveyed at this time is to get them recorded and thus defi- nitely laid out so that there will be no chance of having to move them la ter on.-Williams News.

ANTI-AMERICAN TALK
 LANDS MAN IN JAIL

Fritz Jungblut, who, as his name would indicate, is a German, was brought to this city last Friday from Ash Fork and lodged in the county jail, charged by government officials with having unloosed rather exten- sive line of seditious talk which was most offensive to the patriotic citj- zens of the little railroad junction town to the north.
 Jungblut was employed as a chef in the kitchens of the Harvey House at that place, and for several days had been indulging in rabid pro-German talk, and making uncomplimentary remarks about President Wilson: He was arrested yesterday morning and will be given a hearing before United States Commissioner Haworth in a few days.-Prescott Journal Miner.

G. w. P. TO RESCUE
 OF INNOCENT YOUTH

G. w. P. Hunt, personal represen- tative of President Wilson, busted himself yesterday attempting to se- cure the release from jail of s. J. Piper, serving 60-day sentence for vagrancy. Piper, however, at late hour this morning was confined be- hind the bars, and from present in- dications bids fair to remain there for the ensuing AT days.
 In support of his plea, made in po- lice court yesterday, MT. Hunt is said to have informed Magistrate Moore that the prisoner was a particularly deserving young man, and that he, being subject to draft, should be en- titled to enjoy his liberty until such time as he is called upon to fight in the national army.
 Judge Moore was unable to ac- quire the pleader's viewpoint and was constrained to deny the application for clemency.
 According to the testimony offered at the time of his trial, August 29, Piper is said to have occupied his time chiefly with hanging about in the restricted district, and shouting "scab" at workmen going to and from the Old Dominion mine. That the de- fendant had kind heart, however, is shown by the evidence presented; that he had for several days nursed an inmate of the tenderloin who had been one of the principal actors in a recent shooting scrape.-Arizona Rec ord, (Globe) Sept. 14th.

COUNTY SALARIES REDUCED.

Resulting from a suit brought by c. w. Hicks, ex-county treasurer of Cochise county who set up a claim in the Superior Court that he had re- ceived less salary than was due him, Judge McAllister, of Graham county, before whom the case was tried at Tombstone, rendered judgment Sep tember 1st, to the effect that all county salaries in the State are now fixed by the old salary law of 1901.
 This decision has materially reduc- ed the salaries of several of the prin- cipal officers of the county, notably that of county treasurer, assessor, county school superintendent and oth- CTS.
 The school superintendent's salary has been reduced from S2,400 per year to $1 ,500, with the order for re- funding the excess salary which has been paid that office, affecting Miss Toles, the present incumbent and her predecessor, Miss Minnie Lintz.
 The office of assessor was cut Tn salary from s2,7O0 to s2,4O0. Treas urer was caught in the net and also judgment was rendered against him for excess salary already paid him.

ALLEGED MEX. BOOTLEGGER
 SHOOTS CHLORIDE MAN

In attempting to arrest Mexican under the influence of liquor at Chlo- ride last Thursday evening, Consta- ble Bob Roe was shot and seriously wounded. It is alleged that a gang of Mexicans were trying to dispose of contraband liquor and, when &C., costed by the constable, one of the gang named Romula Lazo pulled a revolver and deliberately fired. The bullet entered the constable's right side and passed down and out of the thigh.
 The Mexican escaped for the time being but was captured early Friday while hiding in house on the out skirts of Chloride. Three of the gang were arrested within a short time and were brought to Kingman where they were lodged in the county jail. Tn? Mexican, Lazo, was brought in early Friday morning and placed in con- finement.
 The constable's condition is report ed as painful, but unless complica- tions set in he will be out again with in a week or two.-Our Mineral Wealth.
