RENO TO Be MADE
A|RPLANE STATION

IF this were September IL instead
Of July IL, this letter, which l have
just addressed to a friend In Buffalo,
New York, would reach its destina-
tion In twenty-seven or twenty-eight
hours. instead of in four days, at no
additional cost to the sender" Thus
spoke John A. Jordan, head of the
United States aerial mail service, a
few moments before he left the Gold
en- hotel, at Reno. for a trip of in
spection to the Reno flying field. as a
guest of Mayor H. E. Stewart.
According to the plans now under
consideration, and on which the city
council will take action, Reno is to
be made one of the aerial mail sta
tions on the trans-continental service
which will reduce the time necessary
to carry letter by mail from New
York to San Francisco by a little
more than three days.
The flight will be made from Reno
to San Francisco and from Reno to
Salt Lake City. with one stop be-
tween Reno and the metropolis in
Utah, probably at Elko or Carlin,
where gasoline will be picked up.
Six machines. with two in the air
and four in the hangers will be used
at the Reno station. AS soon as the
city shall have fulfilled it part of
the contract and the hangers have
been constructed, the government
will spend between $4,000 and $40.-
900 in equipping it's aerial mail sta
Reno men will be employed as me-
chanics and helpers at the station.
Steam heat will be installed in the
hangers. If it is possible for any
Reno flyer to qualify as a pilot, he
will be used, the necessary expert
ence being at least 500 hours in the
air, says the Gazette.
II it is possible to do so. the gov
ernment will contract with Reno
fiiers to carry the mail from the main
station at Reno to other Nevada cities
but until such men are available the
mail will be brought to Reno, and
from that city. distributed through
the regular channels of mail service
Every effort is to be made to make
the aerial service as reliable as any
other mail service

OPTIMISTIC VIEW OF WOOL
SITUATION TAKEN BY METCALF

Relief for Nevada wool growers
from the present financial condition
is seen by Secretary Metcalf of the
Nevada Livestock Association. Low
prices of wool. coupled with poor
season both for wool and lambs, has
brought many wool growers into fl
nancial difficulties. A large part of
the wool crop is yet unsold and few
buyers are at present in the market.
This inability to secure ready money
by the sale OF wool is 4 hardship for
many small growers.
In commenting on the situation he
said: MANY of the wool growers
of this state believe that the present
wool market condition is a result of
financial developments which will
only be temporary Wool has still
high intrinsic value and IN view of
the worlds supply and demand there
is no real ground for predicting low
values"

Winnemucca was crowded with

the initiation ceremonies of the or

morning, the largest delegation COM

o'clock in the afternoon, and imme-
diately thereafter the fun started.
The visiting delegations from Love-

station by those who had previously
arrived, local Elks, the Winnemucca
city band and some of the initiates.
A procession was formed and the
entire assemblage proceeded to Win
neva hall, where later on an elaborate
banquet was served. The initiation
was held in the Nixon opera house,
and lasted from $50 pm. until ten
o'clock. Immediately after the COM
pletion of these exercises the grand
ball, which brought the days activi-
ties to close, was started and it has
been some time since the Nixon

PLAN TO BUILD ROAD ON TOP
OF SNOW SHEDS OVER SIERRAS

Secretary M. Jones of the Auburn
Chamber of Commerce and the Au-
burn-to-Verdi-Ffrst Association. has
broached a scheme for providing
what he believes would be the most
wonderful driveway in the world-an
automobile track over the Sierras on
top of the snowsheds of the Southern
Pacific railroad. says the Gazette.
Jones has no intention of travelling
over the present wooden sheds, but
believes that it would be practicable
for combination sheds and roadway
to be built of concrete. He points out
that the menace of fire often resulting
in delays to traffic and heavy losses
will make concrete construction
necessary sooner or later and that
the superstructure might easily pro-
vide roadway that would be open
most of the year. 1t is suggested
that the railroad and the government
might unite in financing the under
taking.

being overpowered by the gas and
made strenuous efforts to get into the
open. after six hours struggling fin
ally getting to his cabin at the mouth
of the mine. After resting all night
he started out at daylight yesterday
for a place two and one-half miles
from the mine where he could tele-
phone to Golconda. His physical
condition made it necessary for him
to consume nearly twelve hours to
traverse the short distance and he ar
rived at 4:30 pm.
Immediately upon receipt of the
telephone message a rescue party
started out from Golconda. These
men found Tank at the bottom of the
ladder, dead.
The physicians called to Golconda
found Weaver suffering from severe
bruises caused by dragging himself
over rock and perhaps from having
fallen from the ladder while trying to
get out of the mine. He is at the
Golconda hotel and will recover.
Frank Tank, the dead man, was
about fifty years old, well known in
mining circles, and had worked for
four years as engineer in the ice
plant for the Southern Pacific at Car
lin. He wore an emblem of the
Eagles lodge and belonged at Rose

RENO ELKS BOOSTING
W|NKEMUCCA HOSTS

Enthusiastic over the hospitality
shown them at Winnemucca, return
ing Elks who initiated a class of
twenty-six Saturday night and Sun
day morning. say that the trip was
one of the most successful from every
angle that they ever made. according
to the Reno Gazette. From the
time they stepped OF the train at
Winnemucca till they departed it was
continual round of pleasure with
Winnemucca playing host. They were
met at the train and took part in
a parade which nearly everybody in
Winnemucca participated. The parade
was led by a gigantic water wagon,
which wet the street with colored
liquid. giving the impression of a
wine-sprinkled thoroughfare.
Some difficulty was experienced
in attempting to put Joe Hogan
into a coffin. which was one of the
features Of the parade. Hogan won
out and during the excitement the
coffin was placed on the damaged"
list.
All the Elks speak in highest terms
of the banquet which was served just
prior to the initiation ceremonies
and they say that Winnemucca is a
real oasis
The initiation ceremonies were
long and conducted as they were in
years gone by with the hilarity and
rough stuff that makes such ex-
periences unforgetable. Following
the initiation dancing was INDUCED
in till an early hour. Some of the
Reno Elks managed to pack up their
things and catch the early morning
train. but the bulk of the party re-
turned Sunday night. More than 100
visiting Elks were in Winnemucca
for the event.
