PLEASED WITH WALKER LAKE

II. J. Stevens, assayer of the Iono-
pah Divide, returned yesterday from
touring the coast and enjoying a vaca-
ton with his family.
II do not agree with the remarks
of Mr. Horton of the Weepah COM
pany in condemning the Walker lake
road. I went out that way and came
back by Lucky Boy and must say that
both roads are in better shape than
ever. The Walker Lake road is splen-
did for newly finished job and don't
see any reason for the largest cars not
going that way. There is but one
fault to find and that is matter OF
detail-the absence of signboards on
the new route but that will be remed-
led in short time. presume The
Walker Lake road cannot be surpass-
ed in scenic attractiveness by any road
in Nevada and would suggest that
every motorist of the southern country
make it his business to take run up
to the lake whenever the opportunity
presents itself. Visitors will be wei
repaid for their trouble"
