not get your local Chamber of Com

The secretary was instructed to
send kilograms to Nevada's represen-
tatives, Senators Pittman and Oddie
and Congressman Arentz. urging the
passing of the Phipps-Dowell bill. I'm
der the provisions of this measure the
amount the Government will allot for
highway building in the several States
is based on the percentage of Govern
ment lands to the total area. and as
the Government owns a larger per-
centage of the lands of Nevada than
of any other State, Nevada will fare
best of the States.
1t is estimated that for Nevada the
Government will pay $3.50 of the
expense of the highways for every
$3.50 paid by the State and county
To build a million dollars worth of
highways in this State under this bill
would cost the State but $S5,000.
1t is recognized in Washington that
SpaTSeiy Setlleu COliiiuuullitS are nut
financially able to build the highways
demanded by transcontinental traf-
fic, and that such highways through
regions where but few people live
are of value to the country at large.
1t is recognized in Nevada. how
ever, that every mile of highway that
is constructed will help in building
up that population which the coming
years are expected to bring.
Among the important thorough
fares which will result from the
Phipps bill is the Lincoln Highway,
which leads from San Francisco to
New York via Reno, Fallon, West
gate, Austin, Eureka, Illipah. Ely and
through Shelburne Pass.
Not only will these highways be OF
value to the people of Nevada and to
the travelling public. but they will be
a part of the system of National de-
fense, constituting military roads OF
prime Importance.

Old Days In Nevada Recalled

Reno Journal; Gray heads Of old
timers nodded in remembrance and
recognition Friday night at the Cham
Der of Commerce as George Wharton
James told OF the old days when he
was a pioneer preacher in Nevada.
While l am a resident Of Califor-
nia," said DR.. James, II can truthful
ly and sincerely say that since came
to Nevada 40 years ago, regained my
health here, and became part of that
early life my heart has really been
Nevadan.
My friends often ask why l speak
SO often OF this sagebrush land, andsI
tell them what | tell you-that l
gained the health here which l now
retain at So, and which 1 expect to
retain until am least $50 years old. !"
INDIANS ARE CITED
In support of his expectation, he
cited the fact of Piute and Washoe
Indians living to be 120, 140, and in
the instance of one woman, 100 years
old.
What's the use of all our civiliza-
ton and culture" he said, "if these
simple people, with none of 1t, can
live so long?"
He gave tribute to the culture of
the Indians of Nevada and California,
praising their arts, crafts and story
telling skill as something that the
white man cannot initiate In excel
lence and their laws as affording ex-
amples of equity and justice that our
own might well emulate.
DR.. James came to Nevada from
England in 1SS1-on impulse, he
said. and intending to. go on around
the world, although San Francisco
was as far as he got.
HOW RELIGIONS AIDED
In passing he credited two religions
the old Catholic faith and the new
Mormonism-as having made pos
sible the settlement of California and
Nevada. The Catholic-Spanish prior
civilization in California made it pos
sible for the argonauts to settle there,
he said, and the Mormons, with
resting place" at Salt Lake City,
made possible the migration across
the plains and mountains. Nevada.
DR.. James pointed out, was settled
mainly by a movement east from
California of those who failed of
wealth they there expected, or who
dreamed of wealth that might be
found in the sagebrush country they
had traversed.
DR.. James address was largely
composed of "reminiscences of Eureka,
where he was pastor of the Metho-
dist church, having started to preach
when 22 years old at Battle Mountain
and Lewis.
His first sermon at Lewis, he said,
was in Lew Pew's saloon. The bar
tender, just before the service,
stripped his bed of quilts and blan-
kets, with which he covered the bot
ties and casks, saying that such things
should not be in sight when church
was being held.
NIGHT OF HORROR TOLD
That night the young preacher
