ARCHITECT STATES
HIS SIDE OF CASE
DE -LONGCHkMPS SAYS REPORT
on COURT HOUSE BUILDING Is
UNFAIR AND SUGGESTS EN-.
PLOYMENT OF NEW sEXPERTv
Reno. February IA. 1921.

Reno, February IA, 1921.
Editor, The Silver State: In reply
to the invitation in your editorial of
February 18th. to state the other side
Of the case in the matter of the con-
struction of the new Humboldt county
court house. l most certainly wish to
reply that the report and comments
of the person employed as expert are
unfair, malicious and show ignorance
and inexperience in matters of con-
struction.
1 have designed and supervised
most of the public buildings of this
state and know that l am right In
making these statements. This build
ing has had most thorough inspec-
tion during its construction and l be-
lieve that most everyone acquainted
with building will agree with me that
it is high-class building both from
structural and an architectural
standpoint. At my personal expense
l employed high salaried engineers on
this work for many months to be con-
tinually at the building in order to
secure the best results. Anyone who
is familiar with architects duties
knows that tits not customary for an
architect to furnish such man. II
the county had employed an inspector
during the time of construction it
would have cost at least four thou
sand dollars. After conference with
the Board of County Commissioners
it was decided that on account of
there being no additional money in
the appropriation this expense would
be eliminated and promised to put a
man on during the structural work
without additional charge. This was
unusually expensive and my profits
were reduced more than anticipated
on account of the length of time re-
quired to complete the building.
The report states that the ronf Is
| worthless and that new roof is
necessary Immediately. This is not
so, as the roof is the Certainteed
Products Company's highest grade
roof and is backed by their Ten-Year
guarantee, now on file with the
County Clerk. The company is one
of the largest roofing concerns in
America and certainly is not going to
fail on this roof. Practically every
comment in the report is as unjust as
this one and very damaging, to all
concerned in the construction of the
building.
The report of the Hon. Grand Jury
was most acceptable and l recon-
mend to them the employment of an
expert to further take up this matter.
The report failed to state that 1t was
discovered that the most serious
points of the Grand Jury report, such
as oak trim in the building, was in
error and that the specifications were
accurately complied with.
Trusting that you will give this let
ter proper publicity, as it is my belief
that the architect has been unjustly
criticised, I am,
Yours very truly,
F. J. De LONGCHAMPS.

NELSON--RE|NHART
TRIAL STARTS SLOW

Indications at noon today are that
the case of Thomas Nelson VS.. L..
Reinhart is to be long drawn out and
bitterly contested, only two jurors
having been examined up to that time.
Judge Taber is here from Elko to
hear the case, Judge Callahan being
disqualified. and attorneys In the case
are T. A. Brandon and w. S. Bonni-
field for Nelson. and Campbell &
Robins for E. Reinhart.
Nelson is suing for recovery Of
$500 alleged to be due him on loan,
while Reinhart claims $4,000 is due
him as commission on the sale Of
Nelson's ranch. The case has been
pending several years.
Only one other case remains which
might require jury, and that Is the
sheep trespass case of Oliver J. Bal
tazor against Ben Yrulegui. 1t was
thought by attorneys. however, that
this case might be settled out of
court this afternoon. in which case
the Nelson Reinhart action would be
the only one before the district court
at this term requiring jury.
This establishes a record in Hum
boldt county, Clerk Davey believes. a
different story being told five years
ago when the calendar was headed by
about three murders and criminal
case of all sorts, to say nothing OF
numerous civil cases requiring juries.
In the old days large lunches OF
Jurors were called and new venires
were frequently needed. Court was
in session for weeks at time. Divi-
sion Of the county of court has some
thing to do with the falling Off In
court house business. but the decrease
is marked In spite of that.
Eight jurors out of list of forty
have been excused SO far, F. J. j.
Quirk not being served, George R
Watts being out of the county. Jas. F,
Harvey, out of the state; Archibald
H. Hummel, out of state; j. Roy
Bradshaw was excused for this term
because of sickness in his family;
Miss Agnes Curley. probably because
she was the only woman in the list
John Petrinovich. because he had pre-.
viously been summoned to appear be
fore the federal grand jury at Carson
City at this time; and Fred c. Hum
mel of Jungo, because of short notice
not giving him time to employ anyone
to do his work.
The original list of trial jurors was
as follows:
Frank B. Evans. F. c. Krenkel. Johr
Petrinovich. w. j. Pike, G. H. Moran

They say "All the world loves a

CARSON CITY. February 14.-En-
tertainments of various kinds are
given here nearly every night to keep
the legislators from getting lonesome.
BY the way. how In the world did any
one ever get the impression that one
could get lonely In this town? In the
first place the Greater Carson Club
attracts attention. The members have
subscribed $500 year for a period
of three years to be used as the name
indicates, to make a Greater Carson.
II is reported that all but $500 Of this
years subscriptions have been paid in.
The people all take an interest in the
problems that are presented and a
real get-together spirit is manifested.
No remarks are made about the new
conner who is not a taxpayer but who
probably pays enough rent to pay
taxes for the property owner two on
three times. Mr.. Rentpayer is urged
to Come on In, the waters fine"
There Is certainly a broad outlook
among those one meets and sincere
desire to help make this Greater
Nevada. Enthusiasm about the future
of the state Is really contagious.

HOMESTEADS
FOR VETERANS
Fall Would Have Arid Lands
OF West Opened at
Once
CONDEMNS RED
TAPE IN ALASKA

WASHINGTON, Dec GA strong
policy toward Fastening the recla-
nation OF arid lands in the West was
urged upon President Harding by
Secretary OF the Interior FAN in his
annual report today.
Large numbers OF world War Vet
erans and others could secure home
steads on the land thus made fit for
cultivation, Fall said. Thousands of
unemployed could be put to work
under such n program. he added.
This can be done only through
reclamation projects, he explained,
as the two hundred million acres OF
unreserved public lands now left Is
suitable only for grazing.
Startling figures as to the wealth
lying dormant in lands owned by the
government were disclosed. These
will yield in royalties twelve billion
dollars and the actual value OF the
oil and coal and other royalties is
roughly estimated at one hundred
and fifty billions.
Action by Congress- on reclama-
ton proposals now pending would
enable the government TO put many
unemployed 20 work, Falls report
declared. Red tape in the pension
and general land Offices of the de-
partment was scored. Unless the
pension bureau is given help thous-
ands Of Civil war veterans will die
before their pension claims can be
passed on by the government, Fal
stated. Red tape in the general land
Office is holding up titles on home
steads four and five years often be.
cause of technical errors made by
the government agents themselves

LOVELY Child IS /

Little Max Eugene Melintz
Passes Away.

The sympathy of the community
goes out to Mr.. and Mrs. Earl Me-
lintz,a widely known and popular
young married couple residing in
the Gardner Apartments. North
Queen street. Their bright and in
teresting little son, Master Max Eli
gene, aged about five months, sue
cumbed to the infantile maladies in
cident to the first few months of a
child's life, dying early this morn
ing at his home. The gravity of the
little ones condition was surprise
to all. Although the child had been
affected for several days, no one,
not even the family physician, sup
posed 1t to be so badly off and under
instructions the boy was taken out
and given as much fresh air as
possible. Last night he appeared to
be bright and on the road to recov-
cry and his sudden collapse and
death this morning was a shock 10
all. The child was a lovely little
boy, very interesting and beloved by
a large circle of friends and admir-
ers. The funeral will be held from
the late home Saturday morning at
$3.50 O'clock, intcrment in Green Hill
Cemetery. The little fellow was the
grandson of Mr.. A. R. Melintz, with
whom the father was associated in
business at Central Barber Shop.
