CARSON MAY BE
MOBILIZATION POINT

Several years ago, when II appeared
that there was to be trouble between
the United States and Mexico, repre-.
sentatives of the war department,
spent some time in looking over diff.
erent sections OF the state with a
view to establishing a government
mobilization site in Nevada for fed.
eral troops. Carson City was select.
ed as the most suitable by the mill
tary authorities and at that time an
option was secured on the ground
known as the Treadway Park. north
west OF the city. Plans for barracks,
etc, have also been drawn and are
on file in the war department At
| that time it was stated that this loca-
ton was ideal for a mobilization and
training headquarters. The excel
lent climate and pure water also went
long way in favor of the selection.
Yesterday General Manager Ardery
of the v. &. T. railway stated to
News representative that one of the
objects of his recent visit to San
Francisco was for a conference with
officials of the Southern Pacific COM
pany, William Sproul, chairman OF
the Western Division, and Fairfax
Harrison, president of the Special
Committee on National Defense, who
have been designated by the govern.
ment to cooperate on the transporta-
ton and mobilization of troops and
are lending every assistance possible
in the work.
Mr.. Ardery stated that 1t has been
known by the railroad officials for
some time that Carson City had been
again selected by the government as
one Of the mobilization points, and
that he has completed arrangements
for the transportation of troops and
supplies over the Virginia & Truckee
railway.
The matter of the mobilization OF
federal troops here has been de-
! finitely settled, and the railroad Of
! ficials no doubt have the instructions
be quartered here and the time they
are to be brought, but this is the
point where the censor gets busy and
no information along this line is
likely to appear in the newspapers.
Replying TO a message sent Friday
night by Adjutant.General NJ. J..
/ Sullivan, asking the war department
what part Nevada was to play in the
organization OF troops to meet the
present crisis, message was received
from the chief of the military bureau.
stating that he would advise him short.

GRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION
OF GIGANTIC APPROPRIATION

As a nation we talk glibly In terms
OF millions and billions Perhaps II
is because the country is SO vast, its
population so large and its perform
ances are OF such a colossal scale that
million. even billion dollar corpora.
tons do not nonplus Us and are taken
much as a matter OF course-some.
thing that was to be expected from
such a great nation, comments the
Journal
But we cannot grasp definitely
what a billion dollars means. One is
astounded when one tries to analyze
this vast sum, TO place il side by side
with some measure OF comparison.
For instance. speaking of the 81
600, 000, 900 set aside by the govern
ment for the conduct of the war. a
Chicago paper recently tried to give
more or less clear idea OF the mag
nitude Of this amount by making the
following comparisons:
II could buy 374 OF the most mod
ern of superdreadnaughts and have
enough left for torpedo boat destroy
ers.
II is more than three times the to-
tai investment OF the telephone com
panies of the world.
II Is a little less than a third of
the entire manufacturing capital of
the United States. given in the last
census.
II would pay the public debt OF all
the state, cities and counties in the
United States more than twice over.
II is more than four times the total
value Of the school property of the
United States, eight times the value
of the wheat crop for 1916, and triple
the value of the corn crop.
1t Is approximately fourteen times
the value of the production OF either
the automobile or the boot and shoe
industry, and four times that of the
packing industry.
1t is more than eleven times the
total Of last years express charges of
all the companies In the United States.
II would buy over 10000 of the
most modern all-steel Pullman cars.
II 1t cost as much as s7.7 mile to
travel to the sun you could make the
Journey and still patronize the candy
butcher.
II you had the $1,000, 100000 and
wished to distribute 1t, you could give
each person living in the world today
$3.50 and still have money left.
Should you wish to confine your
philanthropy to Chicago's inhabitants
you could give every man, woman and
child in the city $3.50. Or you could
give $40 apiece to every inhabItant OF
the allied belligerent countries, in
GLIDING Japan. but excluding the Unit
ed States. You would have enough
money to give every person in the
United States approximately $40.
The s7,0O0,000.0 900 is half billion
dollars less than the total assessed
valuation of Illinois, Indiana and Wis
consin. II is more than six times the
total assessed valuation of Chicago.
The sum is $1,000, 900. 900 less than
the estimated total cost to France OF
the first two years of war.
