Highway MATTERS
UNDER DISCUSSION

C. C. Cottrell, former State High
way Engineer, accompanied by Z. c.
Holly. an engineer connected with
the state Highway force at the pres
ent time. arrived at Eureka on Mon
days train. The gentlemen came Tor
the purpose of comforting with the
County Commissioners In regard TO
the highway that is to pass through
the northern end of Eureka County,
and known as the Overland Trail"
In 1917 an Act was enacted by the
Legislature creating a Department OF
Highways which was to consist of
three directors and the State High
way Engineer. The same Act pro-
yided that four highway routes should
be constructed, designated as Route
/, Route 2, Route 8, Route 4.
Route /, known as the Overland
Trail, was to begin at point east OF
Tacoma, at the Utah State line, run
ming thence in a westerly direction
through the towns Of Montello. Cob
re, Wells, Deeth, Halleck. Elko, Car
lin, Beowawe, Battle Mountain. and
on west following the line of the rail-
road to Reno.
Mr.. Cottrell sent out engineers to
20 over the country and report which
would be the better way to run the
highway, and he decided from the re-
ports returned him that the most
practical and cheapest way to run the
highway would be to cross the s. p.
and w. p. tracks at or near Shoshone
Point and 60 to Dunphy. thence
across Boulder Flat to Welche's can
yon and along the Bell Telephone
lines poles to Carlin, leaving Beo-
wave about eleven miles of the high
way. Mr.. .Cottrell recommended. the
proposed route to the Government
and 1t was accepted by 1t.
There was a provision In the law
that the engineer should. on the 10th
day OF January of each year. notify
the County Commissioners of the work
he intended doing In their county
during the year; this Mr.. Cottrell
failed to do, but instead went out and
advertised for bids and let q contract
to build a bridge across the Hum
boldt river out In the middle of the
food lands. The bridge was built at
an expense of over $40, 600, and bills
were sent to the Eureka County Com
missioners for about $4,000 as the
county's portion of the COSTS
The County Commissioners refused
to pay the bills on the ground that
the law had not been complied with
inasmuch that the town of Beowawe
had been cut of from the highway,
leaving no town In Eureka County on
the highway; and further. the engin-
eer had given them no notice that he
intended changing the route laid
down by law.
AT the meeting held In the court
house Monday evening. Mr.. Cottrell
told the Commissioners that this con-
troversy was delaying the work on
the highway. and urged them to con-
sent to the route as proposed By him
self.
The Commissioners and District
Attorney started for Reno on Thurs
day to attend a meeting of commits
sioners and delegations from all the
counties along the proposed high
way. as we'll as parties from Califor-
MIA who are interested in seeing the
road go through. The meeting will
be held at Reno on Friday.

TEST SHOWS SHEEP
CAN STAND EXTREME COLD

Dave Ogilvie, State Sheep Inspec-
tor, came into Eureka Monday from
tha Duckwater country where he has
been engaged in dipping a number of
bands of sheep. He states that re-
cent experience in dipping sheep dur
ing Winter months has proven that
sheep can stand severe cold even
when wet.
On January IS, 10 and 90, during
the extreme cold wave when the ther-
mometer was down to 10 degrees be-
low zero most of the time. he dipped
two bands OF the Bidart & Florio
sheep totalling 1900 head. and that
a count of these bands IA days later
disclosed that only Eve of the sheep
had died or were missing.

Daily Commercial News:
Three different mining companies
operating at Eureka, the Uncle Sam,
Holly and Croesus, each plans to have
its own reduction plant running this
year. It Is stated by the manage-
ments that high freight rates and ex-
cessive sme;eers charges, which pre-
clude the shipment of all ores under
$40 ton in value, has at last brought
concerted action on the part of the
operators in this district.
For the past year exhaustive tests
and miii-runs have been quietly go
ing on to find a satisfactory method
for reduction, on the ground where
able, that has accumulated on the
mine dumps and slopes for the past
40 years, together with the richer ore
that is being opened up daily.
These three operating companies
many months since retained the best
metallurgic experts to do this work.
which included the services of the
staff of John Hays Hammond, the
noted engineer. In each instance
they are assured by their engineers a
high extraction of values from all
their ores can be secured by the ap-
plication of simple and economical
modern methods, thus making prof
liable the milling OF all ores over a
value of So per ton. According to
these estimates the costs of mining
and milling will not exceed 81 per
ton.
What is considered a conservative
estimate of ore reserves now avail
able. on dumps and exposed in slopes
of six Of the principal mines In the
district, places the amount at 1.000,-
900 tons, with an average value of
SIS in gold. silver and lead to each
ton.
In several of these properties, the
values are found to be nearly one
half in gold content, in which in
stances the average values of the ore
will run above $50 per ton. With
the advent of custom mills in the
district. scores of additional mines
will begin operating, which will great
ly increase ore available for milling.
For the past several years. much
new development as well as opening
of many old-time mines has been in
progress, with the result that numer-
Gus new deposits of high grade ore
have been encountered.

complaints with much allowance for
truth, but when he says his family
resides In your county and that you
not only have an epidemic of small
pox now, you also had an epidemic
there last Fall when he was there.
I assume from your failure to re-
port single case during the year OF

are certainly aware that disease is
not only a reportable but quaran-
Unable disease. You certainly would
not have so overlooked an obvious

IL you had not nor have now any
such cases make me a formal report
signed by the members of your Coun-
ty Board to that effect and l will
know how to proceed with this ofici-
Gus person.
An immediate reply will be appre-
ciated.
Very truly yours.

WHY A HALF LOAFg

(By T. F. Peck, Commissioner Of
Agriculture.)
There is an old saying that half
loaf IS better than no loaf, and |
have borne the truth of that in mind
all my life. When / started out in
the world ! would never loaf if
could find work to do, and / could
always find something to do.
But what have in mind is the
folly Of putting up with half loaf,
when by the right effort on our nart
we can have the whole loaf When
farmers neglect the fertility of their
soils and then try to grow corps they
are taking the half loaf, when it was
possible for them to have the full
loaf.
The farmer has no excuse for lack
Of knowledge of proven methods for
soil building-methods that he can
easily practice if he will keep his
program within his means. He
should undertake only that which he
can do right. If he has a 20O-acre
farm his improvement program can
not embrace the entire 200 acres
after operation the first year, and
some do not undertake it because
they are not willing to begin in a
small way-with few acres.
Nitrogen, phosphorus, potash and
lime are the four principal things
we have to consider. Most of our
land has a reasonable amount Of
potash, but we have found a great
deal Of it deficient in phosphorus,
nitrogen and lime. Lime is compare
lively cheap and is one of the first
things necessary, for it puts our
workshop--the soil-in order and
readiness for nitrogen and phosphate
to do their best work.
There is no excuse for farmers
buying nitrogen, when he can lime
his soil and grow legumes to pull

ing done these things. he'll be ready to
start work on brand new job. To-day
the former Deputy Boxing Commissioner

The clubs matchmaker, according to
OConnor, is bending his efforts toward
worlds featherweight championship
bout between Johnny Dundee. local
Italian veteran, who Is accepted as the
holder of the title by the New York
state Athletic Commission, and Johnny
Kilbane, Cleveland veteran. who suf-
fered the title to be declared vacated

VILLA AND GENARO
In BOUT TONIGHT
Winner to Be Matched With
Johnny Buff for Fly
weight Title.

Ebbets Field will tonight be the scene
Of "a boxing contest between two clever
flyweignts. They are Pancho villa. fly
and bantam champion OF the Philippine
Islands, and frankie Genaro. leading
challenger for the title held by Johnny
Buff.
Although the Filipino has been in the
East but a few weeks. he has met some
of the best boys in the fly and bantam
classes and has made remarkably good
showing. Villas first opponent here was
Abe Goldstein. hard hitting bantam.
and the little brown man held his own.
He then tackled frankie Genaro. and
the latter got the unofficial verdict. al
though the ringsiders conceded II was
a closely contested bout.
The Fiiipino's last opponent was
Sammy Cohen. bantam OF much skill
and hitting powers. Villa completely
outclassed him.
The bout with Genaro will be the sec
ond meeting of the pair and as the win
ner hopes for match with Buff il can
be depended on each will do his utmost.
Elmo Flores. the lightweight delegate
from the Philippines, will also appear
on the same card and he will be pitted
against the rugged Eddie Clifford.
Frank F1ournoy has sent a cablegram
to Eugene Criqui, the featherweight
champion Of Europe. offering him a
bout with the winner of the Dundee
Martin contest at the velodrome next
Monday night. All the promoters APP
pear to have relegated Kilbane to the
pugilistic scrap heap. and as Dundee
has been officially declared the AmerI-
can featherweight champion. the victor
in the bout with Martin Will be the
holder OF that title. and the only man
that Criqui. seeking the worlds honors,
can fight.
Joe Beckett has made matches with
Carpenter. and Moran. 1t is not ex-
planned which is to have the first crack
at Joseph. but there is small doubt that
the chap who first meets Beckett will
make 1t unnecessary for the other fellow
to fight the Brton.

going down to defeat by goals to 5.
Contrary to- general expectations the
Boston players assumed the offensive

OF the last chukker experienced no

The Myopians played excellent polo
and quickly made the Philadelphians
look like a disorganized team. Major
Gen. Betheran A. l.. Smith played very
good defensive polo, but 1t should never
have been necessary for this team to
have adopted defensive tactics.
The Bostonians won victory that
was very popular with the regular fol-

SARATOGA, N. Y, Aug. 21.-Those
patrons of the sport who were disap-
pointed at not seeing the three-year-
olds Bunting. Whiskaway and Kai-Sang
in the Travers Stake last Saturday will
have an opportunity Of witnessing test
similar to the Travers next Saturday,
with that good colt Pillory, winner OF
the Belmont and Preakness, as an at

G. w. Clark of Montana, thus affording
the public a chance to see whether
Bunting is as good a race horse as the
winner OF the Latonia Special.
That Kai-Sang is good has been dem
