TOURIST HAS KICK
AGAINST HIGHWAY
Twonty Mile Detcur Near Lovelock
Claimed to Be Next to Impass-
able and Suggestion Made
That il Be Remedied

A kick delivered in an unusual
manner was entered at the Cham
Der of Commerce rooms to Sec
retary Grady this morning by a
tourist from California on his way
to Denver, who found the roads
not to his liking. He breezed into
the office declaring that roads in
the vicnty of Lovelock had been
misrepresented to him by different
people and commercial organizations
throughout his route and that he
thought that some steps should be
taken to not only stop this false
representation of the good condi-
ton of the highways but that some
work should be done to better these
conditions.
His main kick was of the de-
topf just this side of Lovelock,
which he claims is all but impass-
able. Said it took him two hours
to cover the twenty-mile detour
with almost disasterous results to
his car, and he was particularly
peeved because no one had told
him that he would meet these condi-
tions. He suggested that the Sec
retary of the Chamber of Commerce
with a few of the business men
here attempt to cross only portion
of this detour and that he was sure
steps would be taken to make a
shorter and better one or to speed
up completion of this section of
highway which is now under re-
pairs. He states that he was not
knoeker and always tried to say
a good word where possible, but
that unless something was done to-
ward betterment of this portion of
the highway within a few days it
would be entirely impossible and
would cost this county many thou
sands of dollars through propaganda
rs,read by tourists who have
wrecked their cars in attempting to
negotiate the bad stretch.
He suggested that few truck loads
of gravel be scattered over sec
ton of road this side of the detour,
which is especially hard on tires on
account of projecting rocks. and
stated that if assurance was given
him that something would be done
| in this matter that he would boost
for the Victory highway instead of
the Santa Fe, which route he has
traversed before and which in places
is reasonably good.
He gave as his reason for taking
this matter up himself that he had
gone through all this stretch at the
cost of a few dollars and a lot of
patience and that he didn't want to
see other tourists have to suffer as
he had. Said his reason for going
to the Chamber of Commerce was
that he believed in registering his
kicks where they would do the most
good.
He was assured by Secretary
| Grady that he would take steps i'm
mediately to not only investigate
| the conditions of this particularly
bad stretch, but would try to see
that an effort was made to better

c. Of {. MEETING
HELD LAST NIGHT
Members Promise to Show Greater
interest in the Affairs Of the
Organization Than Has
Recently Been Shown


otherwise by Secretary Grady for
members Of the local Chamber of
Commerce to designate their de-
sire as to whether that organiza-
tion should continue to operate as
an active body in this city by their
attendance at the regular meeting
to be held last night, large number
OF members put in appearance and
a most enthusiastic meeting is re-
ported.
A number Of important questions
were brought up at the meeting
last night and discussion lasted until
a late hour. Perhaps the most i'm
portant subject taken up SO far
as the organization itself is con-
cerned was the lack of interest
being shown by the members, and a
frank discussion of the present con-
ditions of the chamber ensued, both
from the standpoint of the moral
and financial support of the men,
bership. The fact that for the last
month or more not enough men,
bers had been attending to keep
the organization going. with the re-
suit that interest had been tagging,
no cooperation was shown, and that
the financial conditions of the body
were in keeping with other con-
ditions, necessitate revival of both
interest and financial income if
the organization could expect to
stay in the position which is has
gained as one of the leading COM
mercial bodies in the state. Ex-
pressions were given by different
members present and plans were
laid for more complete cooperation
In the future with the aim in view
OF bettering business and living con-
ditions Of the people in this i'm
mediate community and the support
Of "A worthy porjscts throughout
the county.
Among other matters taken up
and discussed at this meeting were
the recent letter received by Sec
retary Grady from Floyd o. Booze
of Carson City, auditor of the state
highway department written in be-
half of the bureau of public roads
refusing sanction Of the public high
way project covering thirty miles
between Winnemucca and Paradise
Hill until further investigation
should be made to determine
whether the bureau considered this
section as entitled to the federal
aid money. Nevada, it has been
pointed out, has a network Of high
ways covering $4,000 miles in
length Of which the federal gov
ernment has promised to pay a
portion for construction and i'm
provement. As the section of road
mentioned is considered of vital i'm
portance to residents is this part of
the county and many in Oregon,
southeastern Idaho and northeast
ern California and will eventually
become a most important link in the
network of highways in this part
of the state, it was decided to take
all steps possible to secure federal
aid in such construction. 1t was
voted to send copies of resoolu-
ton to communities connected with
