badly hurt last week with the hay
pulley in the Griffitt barn, is i'm
proving nicely and the wounds on
her hands are healing quite well.

THE JOURNEY.

Little bit o. hot July,
Summertime gets weary!
August come a-buzzin' by.
Dusty roads an dreary!
AS we journey day by day,
Let us all remember
That it's just a little way
Till we reach September.
Autumn with a golden CLEAN
Smiles to check all cavil;
Makes the destination seem
Worth the toll and travel.

NEW NOTICES MADE BY THE
MOTOR.


Still motors run sweet.
Home is where the car is.
A soft tire turneth away cash.
While there's gas there's hope.
Fools pass on hills and curves.
Awise driver maketh a glad auto.
1t is better to be slow than
sorry.
Declines make the wheels go
faster.
Dry springs squeak louder than
thirds"
To speed is human; to get
caught a fine.
AS the wheel is bent so the car
will go.
Where there's a nail there's a
puncture.
A bedy's as old as its paint; a

Spin and the world spins with

PRAISE FOR THE
ROAD MEET HERE

In commenting on the recent
road meeting held in Winemucca
the Surprise Valley Record, pub
lished at Cedarville, California, had
the following to say:
While the meeting was of more
than ordinary Importance, with the
probable expenditure of vast sums
of money by the state of Nevada
and Humboldt county resulting,
there was not a ripple of friction
throughout the entire session, thus
proving that the residents of Ne.
vada were true sports and boosters
and fully alive to the benefits that
would be derived from practically
an all year round road to the
coast.
As whole the meeting was one
of those pleasant gatherings where
important business was transacted
and the element of good-fellowshir
prevailed throughout, and the clasp
ing of hands, as it were, across the
vast area now spanned by rugged
roads, cemented a friendship be-
tween Modoc and Winnemucca that
should and will endure throughout
the lapse of time.
One other feature that will make
the Lassen highway one Of the
most important highways to be
built is the fact that a state high
way from Caldwell and Nampa and
that part of Idaho will be built
south to intersect with the Lassen
highway at DEMO, and also a high
way will be built from Jordan Val
ley country in Oregon, which will
connect at DEMO, thus giving those
two places an outlet from which
they are now debarred. With these
routes completed the tourist or
business traveller can go east, north,
or south as desired.
The distance from Cedarville to
Winnemucca is now 220 miles, but
we believe that it can be reduced to
about 100 miles and will be an easy
days drive.
Naturally, the Modoc delegation
were jubilant at the results achieved
at this meeting, for it means much
to Modoc, and all were anxious to
see the highway established.

r. r. STRIKE VOTE is IN
PROGRESS IN COUNTRY

CHICAGO.-Raliroad chiefs were
marking time today while employees
of the roads were marking strike
ballots.
By July 1, the date set, $780,
600, 900 in wage cuts ordered by the
United States railroad labor board
become effective, the strike referen-
dun will be completed and the ma
ton will probably know whether it
faces an actual rail strike and a
threatened transportation war.
Developments of the last twenty
four hours include:
A statement by Ben w. Hooper,
chairman of the railroad labor
board, predicting an adjustment of
the railroad situation without a
strike and peace on the roads by
next fall.
Statements to the board by lead
ers of the rail unions condemning
the wage reductions and serving
notice that a strike, if favored in
the referendum, will be sanctioned
by the union chiefs.

700 MEN AT SPARKS ARE
VOTING ON r. R. STRIKE

With over 700 men directly at
fected casting of ballots in the pro-
posed nationwide railroad strike of
shopmen, maintenance of way en-
ployes and clerks has started in
Sparks without any apparent DEM
onstration and the general senti-
ment of the men is hard to deter
mine. Few will make any state
ments concerning the strike and
the various union officials generally
avoid discussing it at any length.
Ballots for the machinists, black
smiths, boilermakers and helpers
and the pipe filters were received
late last week and about one-third
of the 800 members of these unions
in Sparks have cast their vote SO
far.
No ballots have been received
yet by the clerks and maintenance
of way unions but they are ex-
pected within a few days.
In case the strike is ordered,
Sparks, according to various of
ficals, will be one of the railroad
points where its effect will be very
noticeable because of the large
number of men employed.-Gazette.

'ALIMONY PAYDAY is
SET IN PERSHINC COUNTY

LOVELOCK.-Judge J. A. Gala
han called court here Monday, the
third Monday Of the month, which
he has designated as "alimony pay
day." Pershing county is the only
county in Nevada following this
ruling.
By order of the court all ali
monies must be paid by ten o'clock
on the third Monday, failure to pay
constituting contempt Of court, and
bench warrant is issued without
further notice.
The effect of the order is being
watched with considerable interest.

feet, one arrest was made.

to serve the people of the Pacific
coast" Mr.. Sproule continued:
Every device suggested for tear
ing asunder this system is in the
nature of mere makeshift. The
fact is that if such were under
taken it would be necessary first
for this company to get rid of the
Central Pacific, with or without a
buyer. The Central Pacific would
then have to connect up its separate
lines and rearrange its terminals in
order to connect up it's service.
The Souther Pacific would have to
find means of connecting its sep
arated terminals and separated lines
in order to complete its service.
Both would involve expendi-
lures from which the public would
derive no benefit. After it was all
done they would have no better
line service than before, but would
have to deal with two lines instead
of one. Then, to run the roads
now operating organizations would
have to be created, for the present
operating divisions and train runs
would become misfits. The break
ing up of the lines would be without
any relation to present division and
train arrangements. This would
seriously affect the yard, engine and
trainmen and undo for them much
that has required years to achieve"

WHY CLOTHES WEAR OUT

Modern laundering is almost a
science, and the work is invariably
done carefully and we'll.
Powerful microscopes reveal the
fact that the slightest weakening Of
a single thread in a fabric quickly
leads to a hole. The use of pins is
a certain way of breaking down the
fibres of a fabric.
Cutting bread on tablecloths, wip-
Ing knives and forks on towels, the
busting of dirty furniture and-in
some households-even the polish
ing of boots. all lead to the ruin Of
the material concerned. Tight col
lars become frayed by the friction of
the neck.
Towels which appear strong and
Of good coarse, unbleached linen
may be made of three-ply cotton
thread with a filling Of hemp paper
The laundry, therefore, is actually a
test of quality. 1t mercilessly re-
veals shams. Wherefore a cloth in
the making of which has been used
is reduced to shreds almost in the
first wash.
Because they have been loosely
spun some fabrics will not stand the
most careful laundering. Their fill
ing is heavy and their warp weak.
To this class belong silk and satin
garments.
Many colors obtained by dyeing
fail before the laundry test. They
fade or run into each other Such
dyes are often used In the making of
cheap fabrics.
Next time, therefore, when you
survey the ruin" which has come
from the laundry remember that
laundries are responsible for much
less than five per cent of the injuries
to all textile fabrics. The Rexall
Magazine.-Adv.

ORANGE PETRIFIES

Judge S. B. Dishman, of whom we
had occasion to write last week in
connection with Col. C. F. Heidrick,
a donkey cart and the great state of
Florida, has another story on tap.
1t relates to an orange: oranges
grow in Florida, and last week
while cleaning beneath the porch Of
the home occupied by Mrs. Margaret
Herndon, an orange was found.
Would you believe 1t, this orange,
doubtless from st. Petersburg where
the Judge has built himself a very
beautiful winter home, had become
petrifed. Judge Dishman does not
attempt to explain how the delicious
fruit got there, but judging from
the manner In which he tells the
story, the orange suffered so much
from inconsistencies that Is rolled
under the porch and ossined.

IN CHARGE OF EXPOSITION

Lewis ID. Sampson, formerly of
Barbourville, is the general manag-
er of the Newark Industrial Expos
ition which has just closed at New
ark, New Jersey, city larger than
Cinnati.
The purpose of the exposition
was to stimulate business and aid
the return of prosperity. II was in
every sense a success. It lasted
from May goth to May 27th and was
opened by the Governor Of the State
and attended by General Pershing
and many notables.
The Newark Evening News In an
editorial in its issue of May 29th
said:
'The success which attended the
holding of the Industrial exposition
at the Sussex Avenue Armory last
week justifles and gives force to the
determination of those who so cap
ably arranged and managed it to
make it an annual city affair. The
exposition was patronized by ap-
proximately $4,000 persons who
paid for the privilege, and the YER
dict seems to be unanimous that
those who went we're we'll repaid.
But the exposition managers did
much more than merely to bring
the enterprise thru with a financial
surplus. They conferred a perma-
nent benefit upon the city and its
Industrial character. They enhanced
its reputation by bringing to the
fore some of the quality and versa
tility Of its manufactures, and they
contributed to its progressive spir-
