Reno Gazette: The Highway De-
partment's 1922 20 construction
schedule for washoe County will
have to be radically revised II It ex-
meets to carry through the work upon
The basis Of this county advancing
the sum Of $4,000 to obtain con-
struction amounting to s1,soo,ooo.
such a share from Washoe County
would amount to twenty-seven per
cent of the total work planned,
proportion of county cooperation be-
yond all reason and not consistent
with the new basis OF Federal aid,
for the adoption of which both this
county and State struggled for sew
eral years, and which was calculated
to reduce local highway expenditures,
NOT Increase them.
The fact II that future highway
building schedules In this State have
got to be planned upon q basis OF far
less county cooperation" In the
early days Of Nevada highway build
ing, when the Federal government
limited the extent of its aid to one-
half Of the actual construction costs.
there was good excuse for the adj
vancement by the counties OF added
aid. but even then II was well recog-
nized that such q policy could not be
long continued owing to the severe
strain upon local finances. 1t was
recognition Of this situation that
prompted the Western States and
communities to demand that the ratio
Of Federal to local aid should be
altered. They convinced Congress
that they could not long continue to
vote large bond issues to meet Fed
erai appropriations and as q result
the ratio was changed.
Al the situation now stands. the
State OF Nevada Ii required by the
Government to advance about S14 to
secure 500 Of Federal funds for
highway building. In addition the
State or its counties must pay for
rights-of-way, certain engineering
costs and for the maintenance OF the
State Highway Department. This re-
duces the actual ratio of Federal aid
to the entire cost, somewhat, but GER
tainly It should not reduce 1t to that
proposed by the schedule just com
pleted.
1t Is also interesting to note. in the
schedule submitted by the Nevada
Highway Department, that the extent
OF State aid in the proposed Washoe
County building program Is not
shown. In this schedule Federal and
State aid are Joined and Washoe
County IL expected to advance a large
sun to meet them. Just what pro-
portion OF the expense Is to be paid
out Of the State treasury. to which
Washoe County Is a large contributor.
10 not shown. although this Is a mat
ter Of vital interest to this commun-
ity.
1t seem timely to get down to sol
Id earth In the matter of building
highways In Nevada. and particularly
in Washoe County. We need the
highways and are willing to pay q
Just proportion Of their cost. but 1t is
unreasonable TO expect the taxpayers
Of this county. after paying the State
highway tag and the county State
highway tax. to provide additional
enormous sums when the
from the two ievies named should be
sunacient.

OUT WHERE THE WEST BEGINS

Out where the hand clasps a little
stronger,
Out where the smile dwells a little
longer,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the sun shines a little
brighter,
Where the seas OF snow are a little
whittier,
Where the ties of home are a wee bit
tighter,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the skies are a trife bluer.
Where the friendships of men are a
little truer.
Where the petty things Of the day are
fewer,
That's where the West begins.
Out where a cheerier breeze is blow
ing,
Where the bread of the Nation is in
the growing,
Where there's more Of the reaping
and less of the sowing,
That's where the West begins.
Out where the world is in themaking,
Where fewer hearts in despair are
aching,
Where there's more of giving and
less of taking.
That's where the West begins.
Where there's more OF singing and
less Of signing,
Where there's more Of giving and
less Of buying,
Where q man makes a friend without
half trying,
That's where the west begins.

Oscar did not relish entering the
Silent City by the highway. The
squatters hated him as much as he
did them. more. In all probability; and
It was his habit to give the settlement
wide berth. If he discovered any of
them on his land. with the exception
of Polly Hopkins, he drove them away
furiously. Oscar was one of those who
would rather have produced rot on
his land than give II to the needy.
Before vaulting the Mackenzie
fence, the sound of people talking on
the other side halted him. Pollyop's
voice came distinctly to him. and an
other voice, mans, answered her.

of late Evelyn had ceased to attract
him. In the excitement of the court
ship he had put his best foot forward,
and for a time after the marriage he
had found a great satisfaction In the
thotight that she was his. When the
glamor' of their secret honeymoon
time had worn of, and the farmers
crude, cruel nature had been disclosed,
Evelyn's mad infatuation had disap-
peared In terror-stricken horror.
As Evelyn was finding In Marcus
Mackenzie a mate more to her taste,
BENEFITS primitive passions had burst
into sudden flame for Polly Hopkins.
The squatter girls scorn of him, her
drawing ridicule. only made him de-
sire her the more.
A couple of days after the night
scene with the girls, he left his house
and took his way to the lake. He
crossed his fodder lot and plunged
into the Mackenzie forest which lay
between the railroad tracks and the
water. In his pocket he had a letter
for Evelyn. He intended to kin two
birds with one stone. Y he could find
Polly Hopkins alone. he would tell her
the decision he had come to and give
her the rcta to deliver.

Minutes of the previous meeting
was read and approved.
The following communications:
The Honorable Councilmen,
City of Belding.
Gentlemen:
At "a meeting of the Board
of Commerce held on Wednesday
night, resolutions were passed by
unanimous vote commencing the
city council in its plans for addi-
tional fire equipment. Following the
installation of the new equipment
the Board will attempt to bring
about a downward revision of the
insurance rate to which we are en-
titled.
1t was also voted as the opinion of
al, present, that the city should take
some action on the garbage question
either by garbage disposal or at
least through regulating ordinance
with teeth in it, that will compel
property owners to clean up where
they now seem to have absolutely
no respect for the public health.
Particular reference was made to the
condi ion of our alleys at nearly all
times adorned with garbage heaps,
mud holes and filthy water.
1t was further voted that the mat
ter of telephone rates is of sufficient
Importance to all our people, that
the city should be represented by its
legal advisor, the City Attorney, at
the hearing to be held in Lansing at
an early date. The general idea be-
ing that even if we expected little
in our favor, we could expect much
less if the telephone people alone
were represented.
All of which is respectfully sub
mittted.
Yours truly,
B. F. Brown, Sec.
Moved by Aid. Benedict, seconded

tion from B. F. Brown, Sec. of Bd.
of Commerce be received and placed

The only safe way to get along with

Observing no signs of softenlng in the
girls face, he switched his attack.
"Say, where'd you get that lamb?"
This query unfolded new terrors for
Polly. She had not thought of the
lamb belonging to anyone but herself.
Had she not found him dying In the
water and loved and fed him ever
since? She looked first at the man,
then down at the lamb.
"He's mine, Oscar" she hesitated
"Tve had him two hull days now"
Oscar laughed.

Polly Hopkins stood. A bill poster
had passed and left on the fence pic
ture that caught her attention.
1t was a beautiful woman, her eyes
saddened with tears, and she looked
straight out of exquisite coloring at
the wide-eyed squatter girl. In her
arms was a withered. sick, little man,
and Pollyop knew that somewhere over
the ocean an enemy, perhaps man
like Old Marc, had hurt him. The
woman held him close as she looked
at Polly, and for a moment the girls
eyes stung with tears. Then she went
closer to the fence and spelled out the
words under the picture: "The Great
est Mother in the World"
All! So she was, this protector of
the hurt and the sick! The Red Cross
poster carried Its wondrous message
TO the very bottom of the squatter
girls heart.
A sound, close at hand, caused her
to turn swiftly. A man on horseback
had drawn up on the side of the road.
The blood came In swift leaps to
Polly's face. There was the "beauti-
full angel" looking down upon her

ferent; more like the other men she
occasionally saw on horseback. That
was IT. He was not wearing the olive
drab uniform To add to her confu-
sion Robert Percival was smiling at
her In the most friendly way. Then
he glanced up at the picture, his fine
face saddening.
"The Greatest Mother in the World
little GIRL" he said, and he smiled
again.
"The Greatest Mother in the World
repeated Pollyop, In awed tones
"Does that mean she's mother TO the
squatter kids what was hurt in the
war, misterT
"Yes," he replied after short pause
"Yes, il means that, and more. She's
mother TO every hurt boy and brings
comfort to every one on earth thai
needs help"
"Golly, she's some mother, AIM
she?" breathed Polly soberly. "Shei
beautiful too. Squatter mammies has
too many kids to stay handsome like
her" She made a backward motor
with her thumb toward the fence ant
searched his face gravely.
A choking sensation In Robert'i
throat made him cough. The girl
statement was like charcoal draw
ing in which few broad lines tell th'
whole story. He felt his interest II
her increase. She was the quaintest
prettiest and most solemn child he ha'
ever seen. Yes, he knew she was al
inhabitant Of the Silent City by tn
clothes she wore, and the thin, bow
legged child, to say nothing Of the be
whiskered goat and woolly lamb tina
were with her.
