FAMOUS BY BEER MAKING

Milwaukee's city council went on
record Monday for direct action by
congress to legalize the sale of beer
and wines when . resolution en-
bodying this request was adopted
20 to one.
The resolution declared munich
pal and district court records show
an increase Of crime here since the

that use Of deleterious and unlawful
beverages has resulted In an IN
crease Of insanity and certain types

BOYLE NOT TO MIX |
IN L0vEL0CK ROW

An appeal to Governor Boyle and
State Engineer Scrugham on the
part of several Lovelock residents
to go to Lovelock and attempt to
harmonic the factions involved in
the recall election instituted by the
American Legion against ]. T. Good
in, county commissioner and banker
business man, has been forwarded
to the state officials at Carson City
according to reports from the state
seat of government.
1t Is further stated on good au-
thority that the governor declined
to take any action in the matter
stating that it Is wholly improper
for a state officer to inject himself
into . community political affair.
The same attitude Is taken by
Scrugham, it Is understood.
The governor did state, however,
that II a large number Of represen-
tatives Of all factions asked him to
try to harmonic the affair that he
would consider going to Lovelock.

UTAH FIXES UPON
NORTHERN ROUTE

The Salt Lake-Wendover route,
known as the Northern route, has
been designated as one Of the pri-
mary highways Of Utah by the Utah
highway commission, according to
q Salt Lake newspaper, and this
action on the part Of the Utah board
has aroused considerable interest in
this state as it is necessary under
the Phipps bill for at least one
primary state highway to be a con-
Meeting link in a transcontinental
road.
In laying out its primary and sec
ondary road system as required
by the Phipps bill the Utah COM
mission did not make the Lincoln
highway either q primary OF secon-
dairy road.
In commenting on this fact the
Salt Lake Tribune states:
"There are two roads particularly
which are not on the states rec
concentrations to the federal gov
eminent which may possibly be-
come storm centers, and it is quite
possible that il some Of the present
system is reduced and If the state
Is found to be entitled to the full
mileage claimed in the recommends
tions, at least one of these will fin
ally appear on the states federal
system. One of these roads, not
now on the map, is the Lincoln
highway, through Tooele county,
over Johnson's pass, and the Sieb-
erling cutoff.
1.-THE Lincoln Highway Associa-
ton has in the past made q strong
fight for the route over the south
ern end Of the Great Salt Lake
desert. It has had the divided, but
possibly majority, support in Tooele
county, and also the Ely district
In Nevada. Should its directors
still in sist on that route as prefer
able to the Wendover route and
carry the fight to Washington, its
influence undoubtedly would be
great and the contest would be in
teresting."
It Ii understood that the Nevada
highway department in selecting this
states primary and secondary road
systems will make the northern
route Q primary highway and the
Lincoln highway q secondary high
way, but no definite announcement
Is expected in this respect for some
time.--Reno Gazette.

HENDERSON GOING BACK
FACE MAN WHO SHOT HIM

Charles B. Henderson passed
through here last week, says the
Elko Free Press, headed for the
national capital where he will spend
the holidays and be present when
the hearing Of Crock comes up.
Crock is the man who shot Hender-
son last winter, claiming that he
had been wronged by him among
others who reside in this state.
Crock lived at Deeth for many years
and is thought to be insane and
has been held in confinement so
that he could be closely observed.
It has not been made public what
specialists think about his mental
state, but the fact that he is to
have q preliminary hearing would
lead to the conclusion that he ia
mentally right and will have to
stand trial for attempting to kill
Henderson.

TO TREAT sHALE DEPOSITS
UP IN THE FROZEN NORTH

The Canadian Pacific railway bull
letin states that upward of $6,000,-

lo-Persian oil company for the pur-
pose Of developing the oil shale
deposits in New Brunswick. The
company intends to erect q 5000
ton plant from which it il hoped
&C, 900, 900 gallons per annum may
be obtained from the deposits. The

MINE CONDITIONS
RAPIDLY IMPROVE

Andy Stinson, state mining in
spector who has returned from a
trip through the central and nor
thern sections of the state, says
he can see improvements in condi-
tions.
In the central section many small
properties are opening up and men
are being added to the forces,
mainly on development. There is
no marked rush into any section,
but individual properties over the
state are showing a come back that
Is most encouraging. Small mining
with limited means seems to be the
present program.
In the Ely section Stinson reports
the people optimistic over the fu-
ture as It is but matter Of time
when copper mining and smelting
is to be resumed. A number of gold
properties are being operated in
the district with profit to the own
ers, while many flattering prospects
are being opened up.
Mr.. Stinson does not look for any
great revival until the copper mar
ket is strengthened and a demand
for export made. At the same time
the small properties are sending
out a considerable amount Of ship
ments to the smelters.
He states there is a general OBJ
servance Of the safety first laws
over the state. Private and corpor-
alton properties are taking up safe
ty first appliances in practically
all instances. Complaints of viola
ton Of safety laws have gradually
declined until this Is the least Of
the trouble Of the inspector.

POSTAL SALARIES ARE TOO
Low SAYS WILL II. HAYS


Postmaster General VIII H. Hays
agrees with organized labor that
the salaries Of postal employees are
too low to compensate those who
continue in the service or to attract
and hold others Of the ability to
conduct the business of the depart
ment.
In his annual report to President
Harding, Postmaster General Hays
does not mince matters in discus
sing the subject of salaries of pos
tai employees. He speaks right out
loud and says that salaries should
be increased and that service PEN
sions should be provided for.
In taking this position Postmaster
General Hays endorses the action
Of the recent convention of the
National Federation Of Federal
Employees which adopted resolutions
urging salary increase for all pos
tai employees and provision for PEN
sioning postal employees after 80
years Of service.
Postmaster General Hays also
favors thirty days leave for the
employees Of the post office depart
ment each year.

LOST MAIL is FOUND ON
ELKO COUNTY MOUNTAIN

Walter Cans and Tod Goblin ar
rived at the post office in this city,
says the Elko Independent, at nine
o'clock last night with the mail from
the airplane piloted by Pilot Scott
who was lost on Elko mountain.
Two previous searches for the mail
had proved without result.
Goblin and Cans were out for
practically three days with saddle
and pack horses searching for the
mail cargo. It was found about
two and one-half miles this side
Of the peak Of the highest and last
mountain peak visible in the Elko
Mountain range country from this
city. Considerable value was at
tached to the mail sacks and post
office authorities were much reliev-
ed to be able to report the recov-
cry.

LEAD too PURE
FOR GOOD ROOFS

There Is such a thing as too pure
lead for roofing purposes. The
ancient Gothic cathedrals of Eur
ope were topped with this grey
metal that blended well with the
stone work and the style of archi-
lecture.
Lead was the metal that was
specified for the roof Of the Epis-
copal cathedral of Washington
which is now being built. but after
1t had been applied for some time
it was found that sheet lead on
the steep roof slopes had . ten
dency to flow downwards under It's
own weight and the heat Of the sun.
The nail holes enlarged and allow
ed the metal to slip of.
Metallurgists Of the Bureau Of
Standards of the Department of
Commerce were called upon and
they found that the grades Of COM
mercial lead used was 99.9 per cent
pure, far too pure for satisfactory
roofing. They recommended the
use Of what is technically called
"hard lead" This contains approx
imately six per cent Of antimony.
Lead roofs on European cathed-
rails have lasted for 500 to 500
years, and the metallurgists are of
the opinion that lead as manu-
featured in those times had impuri-
ties sufficient to harden it for roof

ALFRED CHARTZ TELLS
ABOUT HISTORIC LOSS

Alfred Charts in . recent issue
Of the Yerington Times, recited the
following interesting bit of western
Nevada history.
Mark Twain went to Virginia City
from Aurora in the fall Of 1858
arriving there quite grim and dusty
and with his pants in his bootlegs
that is l mean the lower ends OF
his pants. No one knows how much
of the way he walked but 1t must
have been a good deal.
"On the way he stopped at Reed
station, about eight miles north
easterly from Dayton. All who have
read his. "Roughing It," will re-
member his description Of how the
proprietor heated his barroom stove,
that is, with lighted candle in
side that shone out through the
isenglass, while there was plenty OF
dead limb wood within q hundred
yards of the place. Well, that old
station structure burned to the
ground on the Bird Of December and
the Nevada Historical Society new
er even got its picture took.
Mrs. Sophia E. Williams OF Hot
Creek, Nevada, has established

MOONsH|NER PLAYS
IN TERRIBLE LUCK

It's hard luck, mates! When an
honest moonshiner goes to the trou-
BILE of bringing so gallons Of two
year-old wet goods from a distant
desert point and is robbed Of the
product of his midnight toll worth
$1,000, 1t is treating a man rough,
says the Tonopah Times. That is
the story in a nutshell Of what be-
fell . man from the eastern end Of
Nye county. The mountain dew
had been placed with q retainer In
Tonopah with the one injunction
that there was to be a personal de-
livery. Not finding his man at his
soft drink parlor the visitor went
out on the desert at night and
cached the stock, intending to find
a place and an hour to make the
delivery. The customer was dis.
covered the next morning and the
place and time for exchange Of wet
for green goods was fixed. Then
Mr.. Moonshiner cranked up his jit-
ney and started for the cache. The
place was found, but somebody had
been there. The goods were gone,
Heartbroken and busted the village
moonshiner drove back to town and
left for home after borrowing $l6
Before leaving he said he had strong
suspicious that he was double cross
ed by his customer.

CANADA UTILIZING
WATER FOR POWER

Canada is Harvesting its streams
and turning power into production.
A two-year survey by the Dominion
government which Is just being
completed shows that wheels and
turbines to the extent Of 2,471 900
horsepower are now In operation.
This represents only So per cent
Of the water power resources which
the survey places At 41,700,000
horse power.
Demand upon the industrial CEN
ters for greater production IL in
creasing with the cultivation Of
new stretches Of farm land along
the Canadian National railways in
prairie provinces. Industrial ex-
perts are urging rapid installation
Of hydro-power plants with a view
to providing machinery and other
farm supplies at lower cost and thus
hasten in q measure the settlement
Of idle lands.
Despite high cost Of production
hydro-power development installed
in the last year, according to the
survey, totals $780, 900 horse power
An investment Of $475, 000.0 900 rep
resents water power now available
Should the rate of growth in in
stallation during the next fifteen
years be continued on the basis OF
the last fifteen years the invest.
ment will aggregate one billion dol.
lars.
II would require 18,500,000 tons
Of coal a year to develop the power
now available through Harvesting
Of Canada's streams. At the pres
ent cost of coal in Canada the saw
ing represents $148, 100000. The
survey points out that il the devel'
opment program continues for iii
teen years the saving in coal alone
would become 1886, 100000 q year
