Washington, D. c., April =
Americas policy toward the Genoa
conference is having a profound
effect upon European diplomacy,
notwithstanding the decision of the
United States government to re-
frain from official participation.
Through official channels the
viewpoint of the American govern
ment has been informally explained
in a way that has tended to remove
some of the first disappointment
which Europe experienced when
the text of the American declina-
tion was made public. In other
word, hope of American coopera-
ton at later date has been held
out as certain result of the Genoa
conference if it is successful in
putting Europe's house in order
The United States government is
drawing distinction between po-
litical and economic cooperation
and is insisting that because of the
political phases of the Genoa pro-
gram the United States must be
absent. Europeans cannot see much
of distinction between political
and economic problems because the
settlement of one is interrelated
win the solution of the other.
Some Europeans have gone so far
as to suggest discreetly among
themselves that the political part
of the program is really in the
United States, where the isolation
group has from the inception of
the Versailles treaty fight managed
to squelch the enthusiasm of those
faVoring International cooperation
Harding More Confident.
But the Harding administration
is not so fearful of opposition on
foreign policy today as it was when
the invitation to Genoa had to be
answered. Since that time a two
thirds vote has ratified a treaty in
volving international cooperation
on matters several thousand miles

The mass of earth was said to-

AVIATORS IN UTAH ARE
ON A SURVEY FLIGHT

Lieutenants r. E. Self and w. C.
Goldsborough of the 18th photo
graphic section and the 91st aero
squadron, respectively, arrived in
Salt Lake City Sunday on their
Photographic mission. One of the
aviators passed over Winnemucca
a few days ago and made photo
graphs of the local landing field and
others in the state. They lett Salt
Lake Monday for the northern part
of Utah and from there turned
south on their way through southern
Nevada to Los Angeles.
The trip of the aviators is the
initial step of the government to
prepare data to be used in develop
ment of aviation along commercial
and military lines.
The federal aviators are engaged
in securing aerial photographs, in
formation regarding flying condi-
tions, landing places, etc, in Utah,
California and Nevada.
at is almost certain that in the
next few years three transcontin-
entail air routes will be established"
Lieutenant Goldsborough said. "The
first will be along the central route
already established by the airmail,
then will follow north and south
route"
Following the order received from
the war department a special ID. II.
plane was built for the present sur
vey and equipped with the latest
Typographical, climatogical and pho
tographic apparatus. The present
trip of the army officers will cover
about 5000 miles, they say.

LET THEM FUNCTION
FOR NEVADA

Nevada is one of the few states
left that offers immense opportuni-
ties to the man with limited capital
and it only remains for this fact
to be broadcasted in order to bring
thousands of new families here to
make their homes. 1t is thoroughly
feasible through the proper methods
and agencies to double Nevada's
population before the next census
is taken. 1t is up to the various
organizations throughout the state
to make this an actuality. 1t is
completely practicable and now is
the time to begin the great work.
There is no better agency than
the commercial clubs or chambers
of commerce in the different coun-
ties. They are sufficient in number
to form strong nucleus on which
to build a more comprehensive Or
ganization. Their work could be
co-ordinated in such a way that the
results would be great and the eff
feet of the work noticeable almost
from the beginning.-Ely Times.

NEW MILLS ARE PLANNED

Preliminary construction on two
willie in the Lewis district near
Rattle Mountain has started, ac-
cording to word from the A. IL.
Tones Company, of Salt Lake, who
are in charge of the designing and
construction of the mill. One OF
tho mills will be on the Nevada Hill
ton Mining Company property about
twenty miles from Battle Mountain.
The mill is being erected for treat
roent of large reserves of gold ore
which have been blocked out in the
INNER workings belonging to the

II is expected that the new mill
will greatly increase the capacity oil

pite the fact that this mine has
been a heavy producer OF extreme

Only small part of the forma-
ton has yet been developed, it Is

much in increasing operations at
the mine.
The other mill will be placed at
the Betty O'Neal. Construction OF

WHAT THE
PAPERS SAY

Occasionally someone says that
he does not care was is said about
him in the newspapers. He is a
liar. Our experience has been that
people who say that they do not
care are the ones who care the
most. Almost without exception
people like to have their names
in the paper if complimentary things
are said about them. And with
out exception no one wants any
thing published about him that in
any way reflects on his conduct,
habits, ability, character or repu-
tation. Some people are more SEN
sitive than others but there is no
one, unless he has sunk so low that
he has lost all decency and self
respect, who does not hate to have
unpleasant things put in the paper
about him.
We heard recently of man right
close to Winnemucca who said that
he did not care what the papers said
about him, that when they did say
anything that he did not read 1t.
We will lay little bet that while
this man is so stingy that he never
buys paper, that there has never
been anything published about him
that he has not in some way got
hold of the paper and read it; that
having read it, if it is derogatory
to him, that he calls the editor all
the mean names of which he can
think; that he will never overlook
an opportunity to abuse the editor,
but that he never will have the
courage to say anything to the
editor.
1t is because that they know the
publication of derogatory state
ments hurt their feelings and the
feelings of their friends that edi-
tors often say nothing about such
matters in the papers. But do not
believe anyone who tells you that he
does not care what the papers say
about him.

HIT THE BALL
OR HIT THE GRIT

At last it begins to look as though
the government employees holding
jobs in the departments at Wash

on the job will have to hit the ball
or hit the grit.

his promise to introduce business
methods and efficiency into the con-

until the drones in the departments
of government are cleaned out or
they go to work and earn the
salaries for which the people pay
them.
As for the civil service law, next
to the Volstead act, no greater
