Officials Unalterably Opposed TO any
Movement Having Such an Idea
As Its Objective.

At a meeting of the Chamber o.
commerce held last Wednesday even
iaz. President |. II. Kent stated that
during his recent visit to the East
lie had an interview with both Nj.
Csterniann, fed secretary Of the
Lincoln Highway Association and
uith Mr. Bement, the secretary of
tie Association.
His attention was called to the ar
tieie in the S. F. Examiner of the is
sue of January f4th. wherein Mr..
Adolph Mack, chairman OF a commit
tee of the San Francisco Chamber
Of Commsrse, practically committed
that rodg 10 an endorsement OF O
proposition 70 change the course OF
tie Lincoln Highway from the pres
ct route. via Ely. Eureka, Austin
md IA on. to tao so-called Over
lsnd Irali," via ogden, Elko, Winno-
mneea and LoYeloeks.
The Lincoln HlgtNay oflicills &c
cuested that Consul Kent take i'm
mediate steps to advertise IS wide :
as possible that under no oiream
stances " ateyer, will tire Associa-
on d,sest from determination to
olle.e. . / G present course, which
was releetcd after the most pains
taking investigation of all the eondi-
tlons surrounding the traBseonti-
mental trip and uninnuenced By the
appeals of local interests.
In compliance with this request
Mr.. Kent requested that the Church
III County Chamber of Commerce ad-
dresa a protest 20 tho San Francisco
Chamber against further agitation
along this line and to the use OF the
influence and prestige Of that body
to further the interests of private
individuals who are opposing any
movement toward raising funds In
California TO assist In building the
Highway along the present route
With the latest ultimatum of the
Lincoln Highway Headquarters, such
agitation can only have the effect of
dividing the advocates Of good roads
in Nevada and perhaps render din
cult the eonsummation of plans al
ready under way and financed by
Eastern enthusiasts of the tranacon-
tinental highway
In compliance with this request q
set of resolutions was drawn up and
signed by committee of fifteen ap-
pointed for the purpose and forward
ed to President Roster Of the San
Francisco Chamber
There we're also read at the meet
ing n series of letters passing be-

President Ashton, Of the Northwest

day afternoon, declared that while the
Northwestern mined sufficient coal in
its own mines to supply 50 per cent
Of it's needs. the increase in the cost OF
coal for the other 40 per cent needed
for next year would amount to $780,
900. He declared the road wore out
10000 tons of steel rails each year and
their contracts for rails for 1918
amounted to 100000 more than in
1917. He said where they paid 81 for
equipment last year the same equip

w. H. Bremner. president Of the
Minneapolis & st. Louis railroad, de-
clared that the Is per cent increase In

and President Bremner said it was inn
possible to anticipate what would be
required Of the railroads because of the

The figures submitted by the roads
set forth that for these nine roads the
