ARRIVE FOR
ROAD CONSTRUCTION

The largest motor car shipment
ever made to the state of Nevada was
recorded when forty-eight new army
trucks, valued at a quarter of a mil
lion dollars, rolled into Reno from
the West. loaded on twenty-four
freight cars, consigned to the de-
partment of highways for use in
road construction. The trucks were
completely assembled when received
and we're driven directly from the
cars and stored in the warehouse of
the Nevada Transfer Company, where
they were visited by a number of citi-
ems who were attracted by the I'M
usual size of the feet.
The trucks come to the state with
out any cost except that of freight
transportation, and will be placed
at the disposal of all contractors who
undertake state highway work, as
Nevada, in common with other states,
will hereafter supply truck equip
ment to contractors in order to OBJ
tain more favorable bids upon road
construction.
Several of these trucks were taken
to Carson City and will be placed on
highway work. They are certainly
husky affairs and come equipped with
steel bodies. AS they are to be used
in all future contracts, it it should be
a considerable saving to bidders on
all future road work. AS over one
due in the state, it seems that this
sort of equipment will be at the
Northumberland City News.
for appointment as post mistress. Mrs
Currie sent her resignation to Wash

quest to have the postoffice located in
her store.
From Carson the information
that Seymour Case has rendered his
resignation as deputy state engineer
to take effect on September /. He
will locate at Susanville, where he has
agricultural interests.
Cases removal has been demanded
persistently by a certain clique OF
Democrats at the state capital. He is
a Republican and vas deputy state ell
gineer under William NJ. Kearney
When Colonel J.. c. Scrugham was ap.
pointed state engineer Case was re-
tanned as deputy and some of Carson's
Democrats proceeded to show theil
disapproval in many ways except by
coming out in the open with it. Then
when the governor named Case as
state engineer during the absence Of
Colonel Scrugham, when the latter
went into the service, their indigna-
ton knew no bounds. 1t didn't de-
~preciate much when Scrugham again
resumed the duties of the office anG
retained Case as deputy. 1t is saiC
that r. A. Allen will succeed Case rs
