ON THIS DIVISION LATELY

The third man to be injured
while working on the same locomo-
tive was Frank Nash of Elko, an
employee of the w. P. shops in his
town.
The engine has been in operation
on this division for some time, but
lately was placed in the Elko shops
for repairs. During the time these
were being effected one man sus-
tanned broken arm, another had
a finger amputated, and Nash was
injured by having his foot crush
ed. All injuries were caused by
heavy parts of the oEgine falling
upon the victim while the repairs
were in progress.

A controversy has arisen in Elko
county over the proposal to insti-
tute park in the Lamoille canyon
to permit of a recreation ground
for people Of northern Nevada as
well as the construction of a seem
ic roadway.
Stock interests now permitted to
run sheep in the canyon are COM
planning that they will be deprived
of valuable grazing rights while
citizens of Elko town are asserting
with equal vehemence that the
stock men are well able to seek
out other grazing places for their
herds and flocks.

Lost 800
The city of Winnemucca lost one
hundred dollars recently when it
was found that its ordinance books
contain no provisions for the pun
ishment of one who resists an Off
Ger. By the same token the county
treasury was enriched by the
amount. hTe city dads have been
thus admonished and it is likely
that city law will soon be enacted
that will specify the offense and
provide a punishment.

COUNTY ROADS
COMING soon
County Agent J. w. Wilson Re-
turned From Trip to Western
Part of State Where He
Met Highway Officials

County Agent j. w. Wilson is
home from a visit to points in the
western part of the state and brings
the comforting news that the states
highway authorities are in hearty
accord with the plans advanced in
this county for the prosecution of
needed highway work in different
parts of the territory served by this
city. The single concrete plan in
wolves the building of road that
would lead north from Winnemucca
and serve territory that is actu-
ally and potentially rich and is
rapidly growing, with traffic needs
that cannot be logically denied for
long.
There is a plan entertained by
the highway officials at the present
time, said Mr.. Wilson yesterday,
which would give to each county of
the state a properly pro rated sum
of the million-dollar fund realized
from the sale of highway bonds au-
thorized by the state legislature of
1919. This apportionment will prob
ably be made on the basis of the
assessed valuations of the counties
of the state.
The Phipps-Dowell highway meas
ure, recently enacted by the ma
tional Legislature, was amended in
committee in advance of final pass
age, SO that it does not carry the
benefits contemplated by the franz
ers of the law. As it was amended
it requires states and counties con-
tanning highway projects to COM
plete all preliminary work, such as
surveying and mapping routes. in
advance of applying for federal
participation, and that the federal
law accords aid on the basis of
seven to three, rather than eight to
one, as had heen originally pro-
posed. This ratio governs in all
cases where the roadway construct
ed costs $4,000 mile or less.
More expensive highway construc-
tion increases the governments
share on a graduated plan laid
down in the Phipps-T Townsend law.
The seven-to-three plan really
means that in Nevada the state will
participate to the amount of six
per cent, counties twenty-four per
cent, and the federal government
seventy per cent.
1t is urged that in its amended
state the Phipps-Townsend law car
ries greater benefits for Nevada
than the federal laws under which
the national government formerly
rendered highway building aid, as
the law that formerly prevailed pro-
vided in effect federal participation
to the amount of forty per cent,
while the state and counties fur
nished sixty per cent of the road
moneys.
Another feature of the Phipps-
Townsend law is the provision that
all primary highway routes must
present a roadway surface of a
width of twenty-four feet, of which
not less than eighteen feet must be
surfaced. There is an agreement
pending between the Nevada high
way authorities and the officials

MAYOR BRANDON
WAS THE TALKER
Told at the Chamber of Commerce
Luncheon of What City Has
Accomplished and of the
Projects in Prospect

The Humboldt County Chamber
of Commerce resumed the Wednes-
day luncheon activity yesterday.
Although the attendance was below
what was general in advance of the
holiday period splendid spirit was
evident and this points to an early
restoration of the former splendid
times that have been enjoyed by
the chamber of commerce member
ship. Secretary Theodore Grady
hopes to see an increased interest
in the affairs of the commercial
body and in consonance with others
Of the officials who are associated
with him is working very earnestly
to bring about a general apprecia-
tion of the laudable aims of the or
ganization as well as general par
ticipation in the activities promoted.
Mayor T, A. Brandon spoke fol-
lowing the MONDAY meal and re-
cited the accomplishments of the
present city administration during
the time that it carried on" in
behalf of the taxpayers of the COM
munity. He explained that the sub
ject was. discussed at the instance
of the clubs officials and that while
it is not entirely pertinent to a
countrywide interest that Winnie
mucca's place in county affairs war
rants the full discussion of munich
pal affairs. The mayor paused in
his early remarks to pay tribute to
the late Rev. Reynolds, whose re-
cent passing is generally deplored
in this city. He said that the late
reverend gentleman had created a
place for himself in the hearts of
Winnemuccans by his broadness of
character and tolerance of conflict
ing viewpoint and that we stand in
urgent need of more of his kind.
As to city affairs. the mayor said
in part:
"The present city heads have
done nothing about which they feel
like blowing. 1t will be appreciated
by the business men present that
the places we fill carry duties that
are discharged through sense of
civic duty. No member of the
council receives compensation for
his service and we must necessarily
give much time to private affairs if
we are to earn our daily keep.
"We have partially matured an
aviation field and this has been
brought to a stage which is prob
ably about two weeks from a full
maturity. With this amount of time
given to the enterprise the field
could be made fit for the govern
ment's uses. We have bought and
paid for city camp ground for
auto tourists. The taxpayers of the
city now own in fee simple half
block Of close-in ground which has
increased in value and will further
increase as time goes along. 1t is
a decided asset to the city and will
be used more frequently as time
passes. During the peak of
the cross-country travel last season
as many as fifty automobilists were
in camp there at one time and when

CITY COUNCIL
AND LICENSES
Tuesday Night Meeting Was Given
To Consideration of Soft
Drink "Parlors' In
This City

The first regular meeting Of the
Winnemucca city council to occur
this year was held at the council
rooms Thursday night, when license
applications were formally filed in
anticipation of the granting Of the
right for the conduct of business
effort in this city. Three were held
up by the unanimous action Of the
council, affecting soft drink places
raided recently by the county and
city peace officers, working in .
common cause. r. L. Richards, now
out on bond; F. M. Williams, also
under bond, both awaiting trial in
the district court for alleged infrac-
tions of the states and nations
prohibition laws, and Shade john
son, who proposed to reopen the
Golden bar, also raided by the Off
GERS, are those who submitted IL
cense applications that are viewed
with suspicion by the city authori-
ties.
Discussing the matters with the
chief of police, X. G. Lamb, Mayor
T. A. Brandon asked for advice Of
his subordinate and was told that
the businesses mentioned should not
be allowed to operate unless the
proprietors were placed under .
bond sufficient to COMPEL compli-
ance with the laws. Mayor Brandon
agreed with the chief of police, as
did Councilmen E. P. Sites and
C. p. Hoskins, and out of the dis
cussion that followed came the con-
clusion to exact a bond from each
Of the three men in the sum Of one
thousand dollars in each instance.
The conditions Of the bond will
bring about the forfeiture to the
city of the sum specified in the
event of conviction in the city's
police court for any form of alaw
infraction. Mayor Brandon thinks
the policy of eliminating business
is bad for the property owner and
for the city, and should be avoided
if possible, although lax enforce
ment of existing law cannot be
invoked as policy.
Richards, Williams and johnson
will be allowed to operate their
places of business pending the fix
ing of the bonds and January 9th
was named as the limit of time
when the formality must be COM
pleted. If on that date approved
bonds have not been submitted, the
city will move to annul business
privilege, it was asserted.
An interesting feature of the last
council meeting was the attempt of
the city council to figure the boot
legger's profit. It was generally
agreed that fifty cents per drink is
the ruling price Of moonshine here
abouts and then followed discussion
as to the number of four-bit drinks
that could be apportioned from q
quart bottle, the present standard
of liquid measurement ruling in
local booze circles. This was pre-
liminary to the fixing of the bond

City Has Lots of Money

The city of Winnemucca govern
ment is well financed, according to
statement rendered by the clerk
and treasurer, Fanny Harp, at the
last council meeting. Miss Harp
told her associates on the council
that something like $4,000 is now
on hand in the city's general fund
and in addition there is a time de-
posit amounting to $10,826, which
draws interest at the rate of four
per cent per annum.
