GOOD ROADS ARE
SURE TO ATTRACT

Every year great number of Car
son Valley people motor to California
and spend week or SO in that state
Many of those go to California to
visit relatives, but as matter of fact,
the trip would not be made If Cali
fornia did not possess an excellent
system of highways. 1t is the pleasure
of driving over miles and miles of con-
crete highways that intices Carson
Valley people to motor to California
and If it were not for that fact our
relatives residing in California would
not see much of us.
With a good road connecting Lake
Tahoe with Carson Valley more of our
people would spend day now and
then where the beauties of Emerald
Bay, the most picturesque spot in the
Sierras, overlooks the famed Tahoe;
when the sandy beach of Bijou is
more inticing than the board walk of
Santa Cruz, barring the bathing girls,
and where Cave Rock looks down up
on the Harding blue waters of Lake
Tahoe.

Federal Road Bill
Big Help to This
State

The Phipps-Dowell highway bill,
carrying an appropriation of $780,
100000 for federal aid in highway
construction, and embodying many
features OF great interest to Western
states, was passed by the senate re-
Gently. and now goes to the Presi-
dent for ihs signature. says the Ga
zette.
II know the President will sign 1t, !"
said c. c. Cottrell, former state high
way engineer. in telegram to the
Gazette
The senate action came on the
adoption OF the conference report of
the joint committee appointed several
weeks ago by the house and senate
to agree on a compromise bill as both
branches had passed highway bills
embodying similar features but with
slight differences.
Ends Long Fight
The adoption of the measure con-
cludes a protracted fight on behalf
OF Western states for legislation which
would put the burden of highway i'm
provement on public lands on the fed
eral government instead Of the states
and this is one of the principal fea-
lures Of this measure.
The bill has been pending In con-
gress for many months and the pub
iceland states Of the West met OBJ
stacle after obstacle in overcoming
the opposition Of representatives OF
Eastern states to that feaure OF the
bill which provides for federal aid In
public-land states on a graduated
scale basis depending upon the ratio
of public lands In the states to the
entire area OF the states.
Initiated by Nevada
The legislation was initiated by the
Nevada highway department and was
first placed before the highway de-
partments of Western states in Janu'
ary. 1918, by C. C. Cottrell, at meet
ing in Salt Lake City. An organiza'
tion was perfected and representa-
tives sent to Washington to assist ir
drafting the bill and to secure its
passage.
Several highway bills were pending
in congress, including the Bankheat
bill and measure proposed by Sena
tor Townsend. creating a nationa
highway council. Senator Phipps o
Colorado introduced the bill carryini
the provisions sought by the public
land states and after several months
of effort in committee, it was passed
by the senate, but carried no appro
priation.

Forty Minute" Road to Lake
Tahoe Advocated by
e45sd Ss Valley Interests

In the matter of improvement Of
roads that lead to and from Carson
Valley. the people of this section have
taken little or no interest during past
years and have been quite. willing to
"let George do it," when 1t came to
advancing a means of NEEDED improve
ment, but, In the matter of criticism.
very few have needed help in express
ing themselves or telling just what
they would do II they were in charge
Of roads. The county commissioners
have done their very best with funds
that were available, and, while the
officials have been quite willing to
listen to suggestions, they have not
been consulted excepting in very few
instances.
Realizing that cooperation is the
foundation for success, not only in
road improvement, but in any under
taking that tends to upbuild or bring
adyancement to community, leading
men of this valley have been instru-
mental in bringing into existence
what is to be known as the Carson
Valley Highway Association. the main
purpose of the organization being for
the improvement of the most neglected
as we'll as one of the most important
highways leading into Carson Valley,
that road being the Kingsbury grade,
which connects Lake Tahoe with this
section. This road connects two of
the most important centers Of the
Sierra Neyadas-one being the reeog-
nized playground of the people of
California and Nevada, the other being
the greatest farming community in
either of the two states named No
one can deny that the people of Car
son Valley enjoy day of recreation
at Lake Tahoe as we'll as residents of
any other community. 1t is also pa
tent to anyone who has their eyes
open that the resort owners of Lake

lars annually with the farmers and

Carson City People Urges
Extension of Concrete Highuau

+ crete bridges are being built over the
Carson river near Cradelbaughs and
to connect them up to the highway
system. the building of approximately
two miles Of road will be necessary.
When 1t is realized that the county
will be called upon TO furnish but six
ty dollars out of each one thousand
dollars expended in highway work, 1t
Is a condition that should appeal. and
as matter of fact, does appeal to the
heavy taxpayers of Douglas county
who are advocating that this road be
built and intend to urge the Nevada
highway commission to consider the
proposition of extending the concrete
highway from Carson to connect with
the -Gardneryille highway.
BY connecting up this link, over
fifty miles of concrete highway would
lead south from Reno and tap the
most important agricultural section
of Nevada. The travel from southern
Nevada to Reno is exceedingly heavy
and is probably heavier than on any
other Nevada road. Thus. the pro-
posed highway would not only serve
the interests through which 1t passes,
but would be benefit to Nevada in
general
One day recently, one thousand
automobiles passed a given point on
the Reno-Carson highway, and not two
OF those cars reached Carson Valley.
There is nothing strange about this.
to anyone who has travelled over the
Minden-C Carson road during the past
several weeks.
The federal government recognizes
the good that accrues from better
highways, and what it means to the
agricultural interests In enabling bet
ter transportation facilities to markets
and for this reason the Phipps-Dow-
ell bill, because of the sparse popula-
tion In Nevada, has thrown the bur-
den of road building upon the federal
government to an extent that makes
possible the extension of the Nevada
highway system.

At the good roads meeting held at

reported that under the Phipps-Dow
ell road bill that has just passed both
houses of congress, II would be possi-
BILE to extend the concrete highway
from Carson to Minden at figure that
this county could not afford to turn
down.
II was also announced that the trus-
tees of Carson City, together with the
board of county commissioners OF
Ormsby county. had agreed to sane
ton the building to the concrete high
way to the Ormsby county-line, pro-
viding that the commissioners of
Douglas county will agree to extend
the highway TO Minden and connect
with the Gardperville concrete high
way. This work Is to be done under
the new highway bill wherein the fed
eral government expends $SS, the bal
ance OF the 500, amounting to $12 be-
ing borne equally by the state and
county. In other words, the county
will be required to pay but $6 for
each 500 worth of highway construc-
tion under the provisions of the new
bill.

the Kingsbury grade, and then over
the Tioga road to Yosemite, were
dead souls indeed If, as they started
down the Kingsbury grade toward the

their breath and then let it go in an
exclamation of delight as they looked
down on the level floor far below,
where a Weaver more skilled than any
mortal had spread a matchless rug of
green and gold. the green alfalfa and
the gold of ripening grain.
Probably most tourists discharge
the exclamation, slide down the grade
and then shoot as rapidly as possible

getting to the scenery-the valley be-
ing just some farm land, high-up land
and maybe bang-up land, but just
farm land. The writer was an ex-

Declares This The
Lake Tahoe
Gateway

Chas. Young, who with his brother,
Wilton, conducts one of the biggest
summer resorts at the south end of
Lake Tahoe, and who Is working hard
for the improvement of Kingsbury
grade, has been carrying on an in
vestigation Of freight rates during the
past week and finds that he can route
his freight from Sacramento to Min
den, and under decent road conditions
that will allow motor truck to haul
capacity load from Minen to Bijou,
can lower his transportation charge
to considerable extent.
What is true in the case of Mr..
Young is equally true OF other resort
owners at the south end of Lake Ia
hoe, and through the improvement Of
Kingsbury grade, such as is contem-
plated by the Carson Valley Highway
Association, this section can be made
the gateway for a great portion of
Lake Tahoe. 1t is in the cards and
