NO ARRESTS MADE
FOR P. D. BREAKING

No arrests have been made for the
attempted robbery of the postoffice
Monday night, and apparently there
are no clues for officers to work upon.
When the glass in one of the delivery
windows was found broken at 1880
that night Postmaster McFarlane was
called to ascertain if anything had
been removed from the building. He
found everything in place and nothing
gone. Although officers searched the
city the rest of the night, questioning
several suspects, no one was arrested.
The theory Is advanced that the
would-be robber climbed through the
broken window, became frightened
after getting in and went right out
through one of the rear doors. it being
found unlocked.

NEW FIRE ALARM SIREN
INSTALLED AT TONOPAH

A 650-pound fire siren has been in
stalled at the Tonopah fire station for
the purpose of notifying drivers of the
coming of the fire truck. The shrek
of the monster can be heard distance
of ten miles. The peculiar note fur
nished by the whistle is cross be-
tween a laughing hyena, a sawmill
and an untamed calliope. The siren
was found necessary owing to the
great congestion of traffic in the busi-
ness district. which obstructed the
active movement of the fire apparatus.

RAILROADS DIVORCE;
RESULT OF PROTEST

A statement by Hale Holden, re-
gional director of railroads, made In
San Francisco a few days ago, in
which he declared that the Western
Pacific railroad is to be divorced from
the Southern Pacific railroad and
given a federal manager Of its own,
has caused considerable comment in
railroad circles throughout the state.
The change will taken place on
September 1, according to Holden, and
the Western Pacific road and the Den
yer and Rio Grande road will be op-
Grated as one company.
When the change is made the Of
fees of the Western Pacific road in
Reno will probably be reopened, ac-
cording to unofficial statements. but
whether or not the road will compete
again with the Southern Pacific for
freight and passenger business to and
from Reno to coast points is not
known.
Just before the railroads were taken
over by the government the Western
Pacific had been granted permission to
establish fare to San Francisco from
Reno equal to the fare charged by the
Southern Pacific company and was
prepared to compete in every way for
freight business also.
That many new feeders for the
Western Pacific will be built in Ne
vada, Utah and California is also pre-
dicted. but this will probably not be
done while the road is still under fed
eral control.
When the two roads were joined un-
der one management by the govern
ment, Western Pacific officials pro-
tested because 1t was in direct compe-
tition whit the Southern Pacific in
many places and had just started to
build up business in Nevada and
especially in Reno and the country
adjacent
Though no statement was made by
Holden or members of his party on
their recent trip through Nevada, II is
said that the trip was taken for the
purpose of inspecting the roads be-
fore definitely announcing the change
in management. President Levy of the
Western Pacific accompanied Holden
on the trip.-[Gazette.

POOR ROADS DIVERT
TOURIST PATRONAGE

Tnat automobile trafhc between
cities in California and Salt Lake City
and other points east of Reno is be-
ing Intentionally diverted from the
Overland Trail through Reno to the
highway passing through Carson City,
much to the detriment and loss of
Reno business men. was the declara-
tion made by prominent citizen last
night. He said that the extremely
poor condition of the highway known
as the Overland Route is the direct
cause for this diversion of traffic
During the past week an investiga-
tion has been conducted by several
Reno business men to ascertain the
true conditions of that highway. 1t
has been found that in many places
the roadbed is mass Of rocks, almost
impossible. Other parts Of the high
way are continuous rows of dangerous
ruts and holes.
The county commissioners, it is said
will be asked to take immediate ac-
tion to repair and improve the high
way in order to have the regular traf-
fic between California and eastern
states pass through Reno. Already
the commissioners have awarded a
contract for the disposal of 5000. 900
worth of county bonds to be used in
part for the Improvement of the
Overland Trail in this county. Equip
ment. consisting of motor trucks,
scrapers and rollers. has also been
purchased, preparatory to the under
taking Of the road improvement work.
One of the business men interested
in having the highway through Reno
Immediately improved received yes
terday the following letter from a
club in California which draws up
touring routes for it's members and
their friends.
II beg to acknowledge receipt of
your letter in reference to routing our
members via the Overland Trail.
Until such time as there is a
marked improvement in the Overland
Trail l do not see how we can con-
sistcntly Recommend this route to
them. and for the present we have de-
cided to continue routing via Minden.
Carson City and Tonopah. The con-
ditions on the Overland Trail are ex-
tremely bad and. while we much pre-
fer to route via Reno and the Over
land Trail, under the existing circum-
stances do not see how we can con-
tinue to do so as long as these poor
road conditions exist.
Motorists who have made this
trip confirm the report regarding the
poor condition of the road. 1t is un-
fortunate that we could not continue
using the northern route and 1 fully
realize that 1t means a falling of Of
tourists in your city. However, we
must tell the truth and give our men,
bers the benefit of the best route, and.
in our opinion. the southern road is
now the best.
You may rest assured that as soon
as conditions on the Overland Trail
are again normal we will be only too
pleased to route from California to
eastern points via Reno and Winnie
