s166. 900 FOR NEVADA ROADS
FROM FOREST HIGHWAY FUND

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 49,
Expenditures totaling $166,000 Of
national forest highway funds for
the construction and repair Of "a
miles of roads in Nevada have just
received the approval of the Secre-
tray of Agriculture Wallace. This
money was made available for roads
serving the national forests and for
roads within or adjacent to the for
ests, which are Of primary import
ance to states, counties, and COM
munities. The amount approved by
the secretary will be allotted to two
roads in the Toiyabe national for
est in Lander county and one in
the Nevada national forest in Write
Pine county.
Ninety-six thousand dollars will
be expended on the survey and con-
struction of 8 miles of the Elkhorn
road, one of the main east and west
routes through Nevada, and $4,000
for repairs to the IL miles of high
way between Austin and the Big
Smoke Valley road. Both projects
are within the Toiyabe national
forest.
In White Pine county, the Forest
Service plans to expend 100000 on
the Illipah project extending from
the east to the west boundaries Of
the Nevada national forest.
All roads on which the money
will be spent are parts Of state
highway for which aid from the
forest roads funds has been re-
quested by the Nevada highway
commission.

STATE AUTOMOBILE
LICENSE LAW IS BAD

Nevada's vehicle license law is ad-
mittedly bad but cannot be cor
rected until another legislature con-
venes. The inequity complained Of
more and more as individuals are
crossed with the present statue has
to do with the failure Of the law to
authorize the return of moneys to
automobile owners who drive their
cars out Of the state for good, and
others who may sell their cars dur
ing the period for which the license
is issued. In both cases the licenses
are dead and the unearned license
money reverts to the state, which
is wrong. President Walter j.
Clark, Of the Nevada state univer-
sity entered formal protest against
the ruling and was informed that
the attorney general directed the
secretary Of state that he had no
latitude in the matter inasmuch a.
the law does not admit Of any other
course except the confiscatory meth
DDS prescribed and in vogue.
1t is not possible for the man who
sells car to transfer the license
which dies with the sale. II the
seller buys a new car both himself
and the man who got the old bus
must buy again.

THlEVINC MAIL CLERK IS
GIVEN PRISON SENTENCE

The Carson News Of Wednesday
says: -"In federal court yesterday
afternoon F. M. Ridley, indicted by
the grand jury on charges Of rob-
bing the mails was fined 1900 and
was sentenced to serve a term of
one and one-half years in the pris-
on at McNeil's Island.
Ridley pleaded guilty and made
statement to the court in which
he detailed his career as mail clerk
on the Nevada Northern railroad
between Cobre and Ely and gave
information concerning the salary
he received when he first went on
the run. According to his story
he started in several years ago for
a monthly wage of SIS. He received
several increases and was drawing
down $1,000 per year at the time
of his arrest several months ago.
He claimed to have resorted to
theft for the purpose Of securing
funds to pay hospital bills and doc
tor bills for his wife.
Inspector Christensen of the U.
S. postal service asked that no
clemency be shown in Ridley's case,
asserting that it was an aggravated
example of tampering with the
mails; that it was being watched
by clerks throughout the country
and If Ridley escaped with light
punishment would be demoralizing
to the service.
Ridley, it is said, swindled cata-
log houses out Of thousands Of dol
lars worth Of goods through the
system Of sending a C. o. D. order
under a fictitious name. In due
course Of time the parcels uncalled
for would be started on the return
to the house from which they were
sent. Ridley, it is claimed, would
abstract the packages from the mail
between Ely and Cobre.
A man who purchased much Of
the stolen goods from Ridley will
soon appear in court In answer to
charges preferred against him.

YOUR
NEIGHBOR-

YOUR
NEIGHBOR-
Lots of Winnemucca people live
an isolated life. They cut their
own grass, sprinkle their own lawns,
drive their own autos-all alone
and never stop to think that they
live in a neighborhood. It is be-
cause Of such conditions that the
old neighborhood spirit has just
about died out. OF course, people
who live isolated lives never do
much for a neighborhood. They
eat and sleep in their own homes,
and that's about all that makes it
home. They're honest and respec-
table, of course but that isn't all
that is expected of a person. If
you live near people you ought to
be friendly with them. No town or
community can become greater than
the people who live in it, and if a
majority of our citizens should act
like few we know it wouldn't be
a community worth making a home
in.
We'd rather go out and camp
alongside some running stream,
where at least the birds would af-
feet some sign of friendliness and
neighborliness, than hang up our hat
in house located among people
who have forgotten how to smile,
and how to visit among each other
as our forefathers did. When you
no longer care about your neigh
bors, when you shut yourself up
within the castle of your own con-
ceit and defy anybody to break into
your heart or life, you no longer
amount to much in your town or
community, though you may have
plenty of money and consider your
self very important parsonage.

THE FRIENDLY PATH
BY WALTER !. ROBINSON
n A MAN'LL work pretty

WIZ .sN W.
II A MAN'LL work pretty
~ hard t loaf little"
A strange psychology
shapes the destinies of many
lives. Endowed with great
minds. thoroughly educated ip
their chosen professions or busi-
ness yet some fail to grasp the
good things which are within
their reach.
For SEINE unacceuntable rea-
son they abhor work. But like
the lad who has to hoe q big
field Of corn before he can visit
the old fishin' hole. they'll wear
out their minds and their bodies
for the privilege Of few hours
of"
Yet when they do have MOTH
Ing to do but watch time 60
fleeting by, they 60 around like
lost sheep looking for something
to happen.
Loafing does great harm.
Everyone should not work con-
stantly when not asleep. Health
and happiness demand that each
person should have sufficient
spare time to read, rest and en-
Joy himself. But one would be
far better OF II he worked and
slept and did nothing else II he
spends his time loaflng.
With so many profitable ways
to occupy days and evenings
"off," It Is difficult to understand
why men-many Of them young
and active-waste their spare
moments, but always hang their
heads and growl when the whis-
tie blows for work.
Those who don't find reputable
means Of enjoying themselves
and Of improving their mental
and physical lives during spare
times seldom do the world much
good. To find happiness and to
advance ones position there
must be constant constructive
thought and endeavor.
The happiness Of every indi-
vidual In large measure depends
on the part he plays In the
progress and Joy Of the world.

SEEK OTHER MEN IN
 FATAL TRAIN WRECK
Additional Suspects May Be Arrested For Crash At Gary, Ind,
 Police Say.

Chicago, Aug. 30.-With four men held without bail on charges of mur- der at Gary, Ind, following the con- fessions of three of their number to participation in the Michigan Central wreck at Gary, August 20, Illinois and Indiana authorities continued their search for other suspects.
 A Michigan Central section fore man at Cheboygan. Mich, discovered a dynamite cap and bomb on the right of way near that city. The dis covery was made just before an ex- press train was due.
 A bomb was thrown from a pass ing automobile at the door of a Mis- souri, Pacific roundhouse near Little Rock, Ark. Guards opened fire at the fleeing machine.
 A deputy |. s. marshal and five other men were fired upon at Fort Smith, Ark.
 Another development of the strike during the last "A hours was the re- assertion of the railroads position on the seniority question in a statement by Hale Holden, president of the Chi cago, Burlington and Quincy The statement declared that the roads had gone to the extreme limit" in try ing to adjust the strike of the shop men.
