The Standard is in receipt of a
copy of the advance sheets of the
laws passed at the recent session of
the legislature and our thanks are
due and rendered to State Printer
Farnsworth. Considering that but
three weeks have elapsed since the
adjournment of the legislature, the
appearance thus early of copy of
all the acts passed shows COM
mendable industry on the part of
Mr.. Farnsworth and an appreciation
of the value of quickly placing the
information In the hands of the peo-
pie.

WORK STARTS ON DESERT
stretch OF HIGHWAY
,,.st Ins, a.lment of Funds Reaches
sal Lake for improvement
of Mud Flats.

f at a start has been made on
obstruction of a first class road
!. oss the mud flats of the Salt Lake
6s,e.t. which for some years past
proved the hardest stretch to
"a .otiate along the entire route of
Lincoln Highway which stretch
es from coast to coast. Not only
, III this work be completed during
the present season, but 1t will also
shorten the distance between Ely
and Salt Lake by more than forty
miles.
This proposed improvement has
been under contemplation for sever
al years, but like all other enter
prises of a public nature, much time
was consumed In securing the prop
er data and also in raising funds for
the work, which comes from indi-
viduals who desire to see the Lin
coin Highway boulevard from the
Atlantic to the Pacific. Dispatches
from Salt Lake announce that ST.
500. the first instalment for the
work in hand was deposited in the
Utah State Bank the first of last
week by Henry B. Joy of Detroit,
president of the Lincoln Highway
association, which will be followed
by other deposits as fast as the mon
ey is needed.
This news was not printed In the
newspapers of Salt Lake, which new
or have been friendly TO the Lincoln
Highway. but notwithstanding this
fact, II Is the biggest piece of good
roads news" that has been an
nounced for many years.--Ely Rec

MEETING TO ORGANIZE LOCAL
FARM LOAN ASSOCIATION
j. s. Gray Calls Mass Meeting of
Farmers to Take Preliminary
Steps For Organization.

A call has been issued by j. S.
Gray for a mass meeting of the peo-
pie of the project for the organlza-
tion of a local farm loan association.
The meeting will be held at the
Union Schoolhouse Oh next Wednes-
day evening at 1880 p. m. sharp and
general invitation is extended to
everyone to attend and take part in
the discussion
Churchill county is fortunate in
the possession of a member of the
Board of Directors in the person of
r. L. Douglass of the Berkeley Farm
Loan Bank. through which will be
transacted all the loans in this dis
trict. He is naturally interested In
the organization of a local associa-
ton in his home community and will
lend the movement every assistance
in his power in the way of supply
ing information, blanks, etc.
While it is true that homesteaders
ON government reclamation projects
are temporarily barred from partici-
patton in the benefits of the Farm
Loan act through the operation of
the first liens on the land, there is
no question that this disability will
be removed as soon as the district
organization is completed and there
is every reason for urging the com
pletion OF the preliminary work in
order that no time may be lost when
once the way is open to participa-
ton.
The present plan eontemplates the
organization of but one local associ-
alton to include all the project and
It is hoped that at least forty signers
will be secured at the Friday night
meeting. r. L. Douglass and I. II.
Kent will be present at the meeting
and prepared to answer all questions
that may be asked touching the
methods to be pursued in obtaining
money at per cent and the eondi-
tions under which loans are made
and the repaid.

SELECTING DIRECT ROUTE
FROM FALLON TO HAzEN
County Officials Endeavoring to Con-
struct Road That VIII Be
Travelable at All Times

Last Friday party consisting of
County Commissioners Williams and
Bowler, civil engineers Latin and
Osgood, together with Consul |. II.
Kent of the Lincoln Highway, Sam
Rosenberg and the Standard scribe,
went over the route of the proposed
highway between Fallon and Hazen.
For some time past the county
tractor has been engaged In grading
up the road between here and Ma
hala switch and candor compels
the admission that in the future the
roads should be very much better
for the very good reason that they
cannot be worse. Naturally in tear
ing up the road the effect has been
to destroy the surfacing which must
be allowed to pack before an i'm
provement will be noted, mean
while travelling will be somewhat
heavy at several points.
The object of the inspection of
last week was to settle upon a route
beyond Mahala. The old route
crossed the track at this point and
ran nearly north to the mud fats.
These stretches, while ideal in the
summer months are impossible in
winter, requiring long detours
through the sand dunes 10 avoid
them, hence the necessity for the Sc
lection of an all seasons route as
nearly direct as the conditions will
permit.
One project contemplated a
route that would lead past the
Fulkerson and Swingle ranches on
the Swingle bench, but this is indi-
rect and encounters heavy sand be-
sides a considerable grade. Another,
which will probably be selected. will
follow the railroad closely on the
south side of the track for about
mile beyond the old crossing at Ma
hala and then crossing to the north
beyond the seepage slough beneath
the Swingle bench. While probably
more expensive to build, this route
will prove the most feasible and
easiest to maintain at all seasons,
besides being the most direct.
Unfortunately the condition of
the county fund is not such as to
permit of much more being done at
the present time, but IL is believed
that II about a mile more can be
built the balance of the distance will
make itself, as 1t will be on the
ground with little sand and has a
natural slope for drainage.
