AMERICAN LEGION
MAY PUT ON SHOW

At meeting of the American Legion.
held at the Aultman street headquarters
last night. ways and means were dis
cussed 10 put the organization on a
proper financial basis. OF course the
legion from it's inception always has
and ever will have a strong stand
throughout all America, but it's work
did not cease with the winning of the
world war. In order to carry on the
work before II. and which will he car
ried on through future generations by
those stalwart sons who place the
honor of every star and the glory Of
every stripe above everything else in
the world, the organization, like every
other well-conducted concern. must
give some attention to the matter of
finance. that 1t may not be caught nap
ping when II is again called to the
front, whether that call may be in
peace or In war or whether II may be
for action or parade.
At this time the legion does not find
heavy financial demands made upon It.,
but naturally there are some. as for
example proper equipment with which
to appear in public when either the
public good or public pride calls upon
the gallant boys to appear No organi-
cation can be properly maintained with
out some money and when the legion
wants something every true American
will naturally respond.
Among the suggestions made perhaps
tho one that met with most favor was
that a "forty-nine" show be staged
about holiday time. The boys from
the front certainly should know how
to stage such show. They have read
OF how their forefathers met the enemy
either on the battlefield or In search
for the precious metals which has
made America safe and sound from a
financial standpoint as they made 1t
safe and sound when it's honor was
challenged. Certainly a forty-nine
show under all the circumstances
should be success. All have an idea
OF how the boys of forty-nine staged it
now let the people see how the boys
Of nineteen-twenty can stage 1t. All
know that any attempt they may make
will he crowned with success. because
they did not let America fail. and now
the American people will not let them
fail

LINCOLN Highway OPEN
FOR WINTER TOURING

Gael 8. Hoas. acting field secretary
for the Lincoln Highway Association
arrived at his home In Ely this week
from San Francisco enroute to Detroit.
Mr.. Hoag In making the trip at this
time of the year has demonstrated that
the Lincoln highway Is open to trafflc
longer than any other road over the
Sierras.
That 1t will be possible to use the
road throughout the entire year Is the
opinion of Mr.. Hoag who declares that
in crossing the mountains he became
convinced that by cutting down trees
for n distance of sixty or seventy feet
back from the road where the snow
now is deepest much of the problem
will be solved by the sun. The only
trouble experienced on the present trip,
he said, was where tall trees prevented
the suns rays from reaching the snow.
''On the Myers side OF the summit"
said Mr.. Hoag. "where no verdure In
terferes the snow is all melted. had
thought that in some places either
tunnels or snowsheds would be impera-
tive, but now I am certain that neither
Will be necessary. Snow fences will
help out in preventing the piling up OF
troublesome drifts. The Alleghanies
have been closed to winter traffic until
the last few winters, but the necessity
of moving war munitions found a
means to keep these roads open and
they have been kept open for CONNER
cial needs ever since. The same can
be done in the Seirras'
Mr.. Hoag Will make a report of his
winter trip to the secretary of the
Lincoln Highway Association at De-
troit, after which he will drive to
Akron. Ohio. and report to the presi-
dent CT the association. In the latter
part of December he will go to New
York to attend the annual meeting of
the Lincoln Highway Association.

in Reno This Week

An important meeting will be held
in Reno Monday and Tuesday of this
week, at which the all obsorbing ques-
tion of good roads throughout the state
will be dicusscd This information was
conveyed here by telegram to the
board of county commissioners of
White Pine county from J. NJ. Leonard
and which is as follows:
IAN advisory council has been form
ed by the Nevada Highway Association
for the purpose of assisting the high
way department in solving many of the
problems confronting 1t. A meeting
will be held in Reno next Monday and
Tuesday and the highway department
urges that at least one member of your
board be present to advise with the
council. the highway commission and
members of this department"
Chairman John Weber of the White
Pine county board said when inter-
viewed by a representative OF the News
that he did not think this county would
send a representative to the meeting
for the reason that the terms of two
of the commissioners on the local board
will terminate in January. and the ac-
ton taken at Reno might not meet
with the approval of the incoming
commissioners, and that the outgoing
mmissioners would not attempt to dc
anything that might In any way en-
barrass their successors.
