TRACTION ENGINE FOR EUREKA
New 100 H. P. Lombard Tractor To Be
Used to Demonstrate Transportation
Problems In Nevada

''~W AoV H 4. Lomoaro tractof 10 De
Used to Demonstrate Transportation
Problems In Nevada
w. H. Russell returned this week
from New York City. where he
placed IN order for a 100 H. P. Lom-
bard Auto Tractor Truck to try out
on the transportation problems that
have in the past proved such a handi-
cap to the development of outlying
districts in this and other parts of
Nevada.
While East Mr.. Russell visited the
factory and also the lumber woods of
northern Maine, where these ma
chimes have been very successfully
operated and had the opportunity of
personally operating one of them in
logging operations. This machine
was operated over a soft dirt road
hauling four large trailers carrying a
load of 1900 to 5000 board feet of
green spruce logs tovthe trip. 1t is
estimated that these logs weigh in
the green state about seven pounds
to the board foot. which makes a
load of approximately % tons, which
was moved over a distance of IL
miles, making two trips a day.
The machine being shipped to this
State is the first one of this make
that has ever come this far west. al
though the Government has just
completed a series of tests with this
equipment on the Mexican border in
Texas under similar conditions to
that prevailing in Nevada. and the
machines are now at Washington be-
ing examined by Government engin-
GERS as to the amount of wear sus-
tanned during the period of three
months they were under test.
Considerable publicity has already
been given to the fact that a six
months trial of this equipment is to
be made in Nevada, and the outcome
will be closely watched by a number
of people who have large tonnages
to move over our dirt roads.
Mr.. Russell wishes to state that
during the trial period. or any time
thereafter, that any n interested
will be given full opportunity to OBJ
serve the operation of this machine
and every facility given to know just
what it is costing to move freight by
this method.

ELKO FIRMS FINED
FOR FOOD LAW VIOLATIONS
Prominent Eureka Sheepman Has
Illegal Shipment of Flour Con-
fscated by Government Food
Officials

The Elko Roller Mills Company,
the A. W. Hesson Company, and the
Carville Commission House have
been fined by the Federal Food Ad-
ministration for violation of the food
regulations. The first was fined
$1,000, and the other two $500 each.
In spite of the necessary regula-
ton limiting the consumption of
wheat products to six pounds per
person per month, and the urgent
appeal to the patriotic cooperation
of the people in carrying out the food
regulations, several rather large
shipments of -four were received in
Eureka for private individuals dur
ing the past month. One of these
shipments was a ton of -four shipped
to CASTOR Uhalde by the A. w. Hes
son Company of Elko. The Federal
Food Administrator has notified the
Eureka County Food Administrator
that this flour has been confiscated
by the Government. Other illegal
shipments of -four into this section
are being investigated by Govern
ment Food officials and all violators
of the food regulations will be pun
ished.

Horses Attract Attention
Autos Sighted.

Missoula, the metropolitan city, and
Missoula the center of n farming COM
munity, were strangely contracted
yesterday. II happened in front of
Theodore Iachambre's harness shop
on West Cedar street.
a farmer led work team to the
edge Of the sidewalk in front OF the
harness shop. The horses were large,
well built and fat They were I'M
harnessed and their owner entered the
shop and bought set of harness. An
other man held the team.
An automobile whirled by and the
team SHE'D nervously. The owner
came out OF the shop with part OF the
set Of harness. Presently Mr. La
chambre came out with more harness.
The horses were getting nervous.
More automobiles had passed and n
street car was going by. Missoula
motorists as they passed eyed the big
work team with admiration They
were we'll worth admiring Nell bred.
full OF life and in splendid working
acme of power and capability for ranch
work.
The horses lodged and SHE'D while
they were being harnessed Plainly
they were out Of their element. But
the farmer and the harness dealer
paid no attention to the traffic OF the
city highway.
AS in the early days, when there
were no automobiles and street cars,
the farmer had come to town for his
harness and carried It home in a prac-
teal way. The progress of the city
affected him not the least. But the
contrast was shown. In the crowded
wOrkaday street of modern Missoula.
the farmer was almost out of harmony.
And vet the farmer and his splendid
team we're noticed and talked about
while the touring cars passed unob-
served by busy pedestrians. :.

WHEN $lTNCE Is GOOD TASTE.

Uncle Sam certainly has enough real
troubles and cares in these turbulent
times, and, directly or indirectly, we
only add to them, whether wilfully or

ject our own petty prejrdices and
complaints into one of his many serious
situations. Every such kick" nc
matter how small, is as gcain of SAND
in our national machinery.
Unless we have constructive
thoughts, and we are prepared tc
back them up with constructive ac'
ton, we had better preserve silence
not only in our own business and so
cial matters, but also-nd most decid
edly-in our national affairs.
