At a special meeting Of the Board
of Directors of the Eureka County
Chamber OF Commerce held on March
30th to consider a communication re-
ceived from Commissioner Fulkerson
OF Beowawe relative to the road sit
uation in the north end of Eureka
County. 1t was decided that it would
be impossible to lay the entire facts
of this controversy before the tax
payers in such light as would give
them complete understanding of all
the angles involved. and that 1t would
be better to get in touch with the
Governor of the State and the Off
ciais of the Highway Department
looking to a re-opening of the case
with a view of giving all interested
parties q chance to be heard.
The questionairre sent out by the
Chamber of Commerce showed that
80 per cent of the taxpayers were In
favor of the Emigrant Canyon route
as against the Welche's Canyon route.
and with the overwhelming majority
In favor OF the proposition the Com
missioners feel that they are at least
justified in taking the stand that
they wish everybody to be heard
more fully before committing them
selves. The Commissioners are
agreeable to delaying this action un-
til everybody can have a chance to be
heard, and at the same time be in
formed of what they may expect in
case the matter is adversely decided
by both the Highway Department and
the Federal government.
There are SO many angles involved
In q controversy Of this kind that In
attempting to cover them all It would
only confuse instead Of clarifying the
situation. and for that reason 1t has
been decided to ask for rehearing.
A committee has been appointed
to 60 into the entire history Of the
case with view OF being able to pre-
sent the contention of the people of
Eureka County to recognition In To-
eating this route. and to do this 1t
will probably be necessary to have q
preliminary survey made 70 deter

RUN, DON'T FIGHT STICK
Up MEN, SAYS CHIEF

VHICAGO, Feb. gu. P.)-"Run
if you can but don't fight robbers -
is the advice of Michael Hughes, chief
of detectives in Chicago.
Don't resist because life is more
valuable than money, and most of the
|, present day thugs will kill unhesitat
ingly, he advises. It's not coward
but prudent man who runs from
robbers.
ITO know how to avoid holdup men
one must first know how they ope-
rate" Hughes told the United Press.
Ninety per cent of the robbcries are
by auto bandits, who swoop down on
"A lone pedestrian at a lonely spot. If
the intended victim is alert, he will
turn about and be ready to flee the in
stant one starts toward him or says
hands up. Robbers will not shoot

"When in strange neighborhoods
keep to car line streets as much as
possible. Look around before starting
along any other street. Be sure no one
is following. Keep to the outside of
the walk. If someone emerges from
Il hallway or gangway, that leaves at
least the width of the walk as a run
ming start. If suspicious characters
approach, cross to the other side of
the street. If they do likewise turn
and run, not forgetting to yell for po-
lice"
The public can be of great assistance
to the police in making robberies un-
profitable, Hughes states These are
a few rules that may be followed:
1, Don't carry large sums of money
or valuable jewalry at night,

Board Places National Fire
Loss During 5 Year Period
S1,672,722,677 in Report.

NEW YORK, Feb. ga. PD-
Three hundred and thirty-four thou
sand dwellings, at $1,000 each, suffi-
cent to house 100000 persons, could
be built with the money lost in fires
in the United States from 1915 to
1920, according to figures given out
today by the National Board of Fire
Underwriters.
The board places the national fire
loss during the five year period at ST.
72,722,677, based on an examination
of over 100000 reports of fires.
Matches and smoking hazards are
held responsible for $90.0O0,O00 of
losses, according to the report. Next
comes electricity, which caused fires
costing $S6,000,000. Stoves. furnaces,
boilers and pipes caused a loss of $63.-
000,000; defective chimneys and flues,
SCI 100000 and Exposure, which
means communicated fiaes, $233,00,-
900.
As basis of comparison, the un-
derwriters figure that the five-year
fire losses of the nation would build
$4,000 homes for the entire population
of Nevada, Wyoming aud Connecticut.
They would erect 1872 school houses
at 100000 each. or would purchase
1912 grams of radium. the costiest
of earth's products.
Sixty-seven per cent, 1856, 1000,
of the total loss was classed as strictly
or partly preventable.
New York suffered most heavily
with a loss of 100000; Pennsyl-
vania came second with $97,O00,O00;
Illinois third with sSS,0O0,000. Fol-
low New Jersey with $70.O00,000;
Ohio with $6S.0O0,OO0; Texas, $59,-
600, 600; Massachusetts. $5S,O00,000
and California, 1000, 900.
