ELKO COUNTY ALSO
HAS ROAD TROUBLE

We cannot refrain. says the Elko
Independent. from commenting upon
the little notice which appeared in
last nights Free Press over the sig
nature of Mr.. Trescartes of Lamoille.
Mr.. T~rescartes says that he wishes to
heartily thank the board of highway
commissioners for the excellent work
they are doing on the Lamoille road
just south of town. The ~chuckholes
at this point, says Mr.. Trescartes, are
so deep that his wife was thrown out
of his car when passing over them.
IN accident which resulted in a tract
ured shoulder. "Hurrah for the road
commissioners" says the notice.
When the roads become so good
that people are thrown out of their
cars to land Unfortunately on any
convenient portion of their anatomy
which happens to present the most
vulnerable striking point for Mother
Earth, we are constrained to ask
whatinell will happen when the high
way board gets the roads in the really
excellent condition that they have
promised us. Elko county will then
be a promising field for life insurance
agents.

1918. We made good time. Went to
camp May 3rd and was in the front
line trench Sept. 10th. Well, we
landed at Glasgow Scotland; came
through England by rail; then across
the English Channel. Sure was rough
coming across the Channel. Our
ocean trip was fine. We then stopped
at burg called Sex Fontaine and
drilled for a while. From there VIC
went to Kruter; stayed there few
days. We sure saw some of France
On Sept. 9th we hiked to the trenches
for the first time, in Alsace Lorraine.
We were busy up there. They shot
the roof off our posts and the big
shells were bursting all around us.
But the Yanks were sending them
back faster than they were, You sure
had to keep your head down or 1t
would hear nice little noise close by
soon. You get so used to the shells
YOU could go to sleep right in the
trench. We were only holding line
there in the units. Before the Yanks
went over there the Huns and French
used to wash in the same stream. But
that did not last long after our boys
went in. We had real good dugouts
TO sleep in. From there we went to
the great Argonne forest. We were
to relieve the nth Division in the
front line. We hiked day and night
in rain and mud trying to catch them
But the Huns we're retreating so fast
we never did catch up. We did not see
our cook wagon for six days. Trucks
could not bring the food up as the
mud was so bad. Sure was one hard
hike. We got up as far as Stowe on
the Sedan road. The dead Huns were
all over the fields And then came the
great day. Fighting had ceased So
we then hiked to north of Verdun on
the road to Metz. While there had
the pleasure of going through some
real German dugouts. Believe me
they sure had them fixed up to date
in every way. They sure know how to
build good dug outs. But the Yanks
know how to blow them up.
