State in general the completion of
the Lincoln Highway has brought
and will bring to our people.
More tourists have used the Lin
coin Highway through Eureka this
season than have passed over the
route in any year since its construc-
ton began, and our business people
are now beginning to appreciate this
trade.
The matter of the establishment of
a permanent and serviceable camping
ground for the tourists was taken up
and met with the general approval OF
the Board, and steps will no doubt
now be taken to secure suitable
grounds contiguous to town for use
next Summer. and water and other
conveniences arranged for the accom-
mediation of camping travellers.

During the discussion OF the Lin

that the town of Eureka had been
left off all maps of the Lincoln High
way that have been printed during
the past two years. The maps all
show the towns of Ely and Austin
but nothing between them.
The secretary was requested 10
write the Lincoln Highway Associa-
tion, calling its attention to the fact
that Eureka had been left on all re-
cent maps showing this route and the
names of the cities and towns on the
highway, and requesting its reinstate-
meat.

When the committee from the Ell
dorado County Chamber of Com
merce went to Sacramento last week
to try and induce the Southern Paci-
fic Company to let its passenger train
service on the Placerville and Sacra-
mento branch remain unchanged, al
though permission for the ehangehad
been granted by the State Railroad
Commission, the members of the COM
mittee appealed to John E. Sexton,
owner of the Pacific Channel mine
and general manager of the Eureka
Nevada railroad to accompany them.
After the train service on the Pla-
cerville branch had been thoroughly
discussed by members of the commit
tee and General Manager Dyer who.
by the way, met the committee in re-
sponse to telegram sent him by Mr.
Sexton, and 1t had been shown by the
books of the company that the pas
senger trains on this road were being
operated at loss to the company,
Mr.. Sexton made direct offer to Mr..
Dyer to give the S. P. company twen-
ty cars of freight monthly for three
months from Palisade, Nevada, to
Salt Lake City, If the passenger SER
vice were permitted to remain as at
present on the Placerville line. The
freight rate from Palisade to Salt
Lake City is $500 per car, and the Of
fer amounted to $4,000 per month or
$4,000. In addition to this Mr.. Sex
ton agreed to purchase a number of
carloads of railroad ties in Ell Dor
ado County and ship them over the
S. p. to Palisade from Canine. Two
carloads of these ties have been
shipped already, and a number of car
loads of freight have gone forward
from Palisade according to agree
ment.
E This is the kind of reciprocity that
makes the wheels of progress go
round. But what are the people of
Ell Dorado County doing to show their
appreciation? Is anybody trying to
help Sexton get water to operate his
mine and thus add another industry
to the county and make more busi-
ness for the railroads. the miners and
others?

AUSTIN ATTORNEY
HAS GASOLINE SAVER

Austin Reveille: District Attorney
Maestretti Is the owner Of q tin Liz
zie, and takes great pride In getting
big mileage out Of the gasoline he
buys. The machine is an old one and
has made many trips over the Sierras
to Oakland, and back, and there is
nothing special about 1t that differs
from any other standard made Ford.
Some time ago on one Of his pilgrim
ages to the capital he met another
mileage fanatic. and In talking over
the merits OF their respective road
runners, the other man boasted about
his small gasoline consumption. and
showed our lawyer how he kept down
expenses by using q homemade at
tachm0t for burning kerosene.
Mr.. Maestretti. on his return to
Austin, put in lot of time making o
thing like the new one he had seen,
and after using 1t for q while. pro-
nounced 1t the greatest improvement
ever devised for a Ford car.
He has attached q copper tube to
the exhaust pipe Of the engine and
conducted It to and through the
screw top Of pint Mason fruit Jar.
reaching nearly to the bottom Of the
jar. From the top of the fruit jar,
another pipe is connected with the
intake Of the engine. The heated air
from the exhaust pipe II conducted
down through the kerosene In the jar.

reka from Austin. over roads which
were by no means level, nor Of the
best in the world. he made the phe-
nomenal mileage of thirty-four miles
to a gallon of gasoline, and used con-
siderably less than pint Of kerosene.
With his family he is now ON q
trip to California. and will keep tab
on his gasoline consumption and mile
age for the trip. and his report on the
