WORK ON HIGHWAYS
IS DELAYED BY s. P.

There is trouble ahead in the con-
struction of the state highways as
the Southern Pacific Company has
refused to grant right of way to the
State of Nevada or its representa-
tives, the highway commission, where
the highway comes within the four
hundred feet of the railway right-of
way grant.
While this does not upset all of the
plans. it is serious enoungh to call for
a conference with the right-of-way CT
the big corporation and the state
officials. Governor Boyle. C. c. Cot
trell of the highway commission, and
w. c. Goodin, of the Overland Trait
Association, left Thursday evening
for the coast, where they will meet
the land men of the railroad.
During the progress of the differ
ent surveys of the highway commits
sion it was found necessary to carry
the line of road work within the pre-
scribed bounds of the road. There
was little thought given as to OBJ
jections at the time. the protest on
the part of the corporation coming
just when several of the contracts for
work are to be advertised or let.
Should the road insist on its right-of-
way grants, it is most likely that new
surveys will have to be made.
1t is believed that by conference
and with an understanding, that this
matter can be adjusted.
Fortunately there are other road
mapped and surveyed which can be
completed without interfering with
the plans. The fact that the stale
and government insists on title to
ground before financial aid is grant
ed makes it imperative that such deed
be in hand before a contract or
approval of highway is granted

WAR VETERANS DANCE BIG
SUCCESS IN SPITE OF BAD DATE

spite of the fact that many persons
were planning more on the Shriners'
big success, financially and otherwise.
The music furnished by Miss Zenayed
Leroy and Oscar Reinhart was appre-

SECOND ARTICLE ON
TRIP OVER COUNTY
BY G. u. AYRES

Thursday, as l sit upon the broad.
hop-vine-shaded front porch of the
Ore-vada hotel at McDermitt and
watch the big black cloud coming
down from the north, 1t seems prob
able the ranchers of the Quinn River
valley are about to get what they say
will make an almost perfect season
this year-a good rain storm. Water
il not needed for irrigation, as the
mountain streams are still running
almost full, and there have been a
couple of sun-showers this week. A
heavier rain, however, will brighten
up the range and keep the roads from
blowing away.
A dozen miles or more of the road
between Winnemucca and McDermitt
are of a character which grinds up
quickly in hot. dry weather-and the
wind does the rest. These same
stretches become the finest quality of
mud In wet weather. / have talked
with several experienced old-timers,
and they have all approved the idea
OF a portable stone-crusher as a first
step in road-building in this country.
They believe thin deposit of chushed
rock scattered along the ruts, re-
peated several times. would stop the
cutting process and form cheap
foundation, eventually, for a tolerably
good country roadway OF course.
where the road is cut down so that
water stands in il, some grading and
crowning would be necessary
preliminary.
To illustrate the condition of a con-
siderable portion of the north end of
the road, story is told here of a
stage driver, hired a year ago last
spring. He was an ambitious young
rlan who said he wanted steady work.
After making the daily trip for
couple OF weeks. arriving at his ter
minus at times varying from o'clock
in the evening to starting time next
morning. he finally announced his in
tention of quitting.
What's the natter" asked his boss.
Il thought you said you wanted
steady work"
That's what | did," replied the
driver, land you're not giving it. Just
see. l got in this morning at 2
o'clock and had nothing to do until
1880 when ii was time TO start back.
| want steady work and | refuse TO
stand for this lying around with
'rothing to do till tomorrow"
There is much to be said regarding
the almost incalculable advantage If
a fair-to-middling good road in this
end of Humboldt county. but l do not
wish to anticipate any action OF the
winnemucca Business Mems Associa-
ton, which approached the subject a
few weeks ago. The results OF
road-building are much like the bene-
fits from advertising, in some ways.
Few people receive direct dividends
from the investment. in the shape of
credits on their bank books. but tht
profit Is incontrovertible just the
same. Everybody saves. and all pro-
ft. in one way or another. Increased
! as.aess means gain to community;
ard reduction of expenses means more
profit.
At a morning meeting at the hall in
last Tuesday morning. the
Rev. Father Meisekothen of Winnie
started four young Basques on
their worldly way with christening.
