ROADS MEETING
HERE NEXT JUNE
Humboldt Chamber of Commerce to
Arrange Meeting Between the
Many Interests Served by
Route to the North

More than one hundred road boost
ers, interested in promoting high
way development to serve southern
and eastern Oregon, southern Ida
no, northern California and the en-
pire lying north of this city within
Nevada, will meet in this city late
in May or early in June, according
to word issued by the Humboldt
County chamber of commerce. The
movement is being sponsored by the
local commercial body and respon-
ses have been received by reprenen-
tatives residing in the territories that
would be served by the proposed
highway construction. Indeed, the
cooperation promised from the sever
al sections assures a rousing meeting
for this city that will engross public
interest over a wide area dealing
as it will with subject of the ut
most Importance.
The principal tasks to be per-
formed by the road meeting will be
to effect permanent organization,
give a name to the enterprise, and
launch publicity campaign cal
culated to show the benefits that
will issue from the road building
expenditures proposed. Business in
terests within this city have realized
for long time the great Importance
of connecting this city with other
sections through network of good
roads that will make year around
travel possible. This is the logical
rail point for a vast territory, the
single innovation needed to insure
greatly increased traffic being
roads. Southern Idaho residents are
interested in route that will make
the transcontinental lines passing
through this city available to their
uses. People residing in a large
southern and eastern Oregon terri
tory are similarly interested just as
northern California people want to
see travel facilities created to the
southeast of them.
The next meeting of the Humboldt
County chamber of commerce will
result in the appointment Of COM
mittees to have charge of the nec-
essary arrangements preliminary to
the big road meeting. One of the
important committees. to be named
will have charge of housing accom-
modations and a canvass is to b g
made of this city at an early date in
which the available rooms will be
listed SO that guests may be cared
for.

SCHOOL ELECTION TO
BE HELD SATURDAY p. M.

Winnemucca's school district elec-
tion for the selection of directors
to serve throughout long and short
terms will be held at the grammer
school Saturday afternoon from one
to five o'clock. A. D. Dern filed his
petition for long term director and
l.. G. Campbell for short term.
Both men acted at the instance of
numerous substantial people of the
community who desire efficient rep
resentation. Mrs. A. w. Guthrie,
who with the men named, rounds
out the board as constituted at the
present time, has refused to allow
her name to go on the ballot and as
result there will be a vacancy
that will be filled later by appoint
ment by the state school authorities.
This community is not unlike
most others in that "Let Geogre
do it," is a generally used slogan
when it comes to school affairs.
The law provides that a printed bal
lot shall be prepared for each
qualified elector in districts of this
size and necessitates providing ap-
proximately 500 ballots for Winnie
mucca district. Of course, this is
many times in excess of the number
of votes that will be cast here
Saturday.

means to fight this bill. A personal

tors and Congressman Arentz would
help. But the time to do some-
thing is now-today.

DEN|s0N BILL
BAD FOR STATE
Congressman Samuel S. Arentz Ad.
vises The Silver State That
Restrictive Bill Will Be
Voted On in Few Days

The proposal now before the
House of Representatives, known as
the Denison bill, H.R. 1888, will
be up in the lower house of congress
for a vote some time next week,
according to word received from
Congressman Samuel S. Arentz by
The Silver State today. Postmaster
General Hubert Work has made an
exhaustive report to the committee
having charge of the proposed fed
eral law and the National Associa-
tion of Securities Commissioners,
meeting in Lincoln, Nebr., a few
weeks ago, endorsed the Denison
proposal without dissenting voice.
Whatever protests are filed from
this state should go forward prompt
ly to Nevada's congressional dele
cation by wire, advises Congress
man Arentz, who is altogether alive
to the significance of the provisions
of the bill but cannot encompass its
defeat without aid.
The proposal, enacted into law,
will prove one of the most serious
blows inflicted against this state in
a generation, forbidding as it will
the several activities constituting,
under normal conditions, legitimate
mining promotion. Blue sky laws
have been put into effect in many
states, yet investment in bona fide
Nevada offerings has continued. The
proposed federal law would preclude
the use of the mails in an inter-
state sense for mining exploitation
and forbid the transportation of
stock certificates through the mails
or by any public carrier. In short,
the man in New York desiring to
invest in Nevada mine would have
to come or send an agent to this
state to complete the transfer and
accept its evidence in stock. There
is no doubt that mining investments
would still be made within this state
by people living in other places,
despite the enactment of the Deni-
son bill into law, yet the mining
promoter would be seriously ham,
pered in his activities and many
promising mining properties in this
state would languish.
1t would be only a step from
amending the Denison proposal,
once enacted into law, to make it
a felony for a person to be found
with mining stock in their posses
sion, in which event mining activi-
ties will become as clandestine in
character as bootlegging.
Arrayed in favor of the passage
of the Denison bill are powerful
eastern interests that are strongly
committed to the structures against
western mines and are working un-
remittingly for the new legislation.

COUNTY ROADS ARE BEING
MADE FIT FOR THE TRAFFIC

The county authorities are having
the roads in their care made fit for
spring and summer traffic, tractors
and drags being invoked for the
purpose. Drags were started from
Willow Point this morning in both
directions. It is said that the dirt
roads are just right at this time
for the dragging operation and that
easy going will soon be a general
feature of Humboldt county thoro-
fares.

YEGS
LOST THE FIGHT
Combination of Bank Messengers And
Police was Too Much For
The Criminals

Philadelphia, June 30.-One bandit
is believed to have been killed, two
runners of the Textile National Bank
and one policeman were slightly injur-
ed IN a pistol fight in which eight men
tried to hold up the runners in the
northeastern part of the city today.
The bandit whe is believed to have
been killed was rushed away by his
seven companions in limousine which
they used.
The bandit car stopped the car with
the bank messengers and the bandits
opened fire with sawed-off shotguns.
The runners returned the fire while
one grabbed the money bags and ran
into a nearby building. A policeman
arrived and joined in the fight, which
continued until one bandit fell. His
companions put him in the car and
escaped.

DIGGING UP THE DIRT
And Putting Down the Pavement Pro-
gram Ardently Pursued

The street builders have finished
Washington street in front of the
postofice, from Main to Magnolia, and
it is as fne-looking piece of up-to-
date roadway as you can see. =.
One gang is busily preparing Main
for the brick to be laid from Washing
ton to the union station plaza. An
other is making the dirt fly on We
mona from Fort King to Fifth, up
Fifth to Earl and out Earl to the city
limits, completing the city's link in the
great Dixie Highway.
A third is digging down the grade
on South Sanchez, preparatory to
making modern street from Second
to Eighth streets.
Manager Brumby says he expects to
get to work on Oklawaha avenue by
July 10, and the people along that
thoroughfare had better engage air
planes for a few months.

MAGNIFICENT FIRE
FIGHTING MACHINE
The American LaFrance Combination
Truck and Engine Threw Three
Streams at Once Over The
Courthouse Dome

1t is evident that Ocala at last has
a fre-fghting machine adequate to
the needs of the city. The members
of the fire department., yesterday aft
ernoon, brought the new American
LaFrance machine to the public
square, coupled it to the southwest hy-
drant, started the engine and threw
three streams of water at once clear
over the courthouse dome. This,
from the paved street where the en-
gine stood, was equivalent to an ordi-
nary six-story building. The streams
went so high that water came down
like heavy rain far on the other side.
The force of the water at the noz-
zles was tremendous. 1t would have
knocked down and beat out in few
minutes any blaze on first or second
floor. 1t would in a little more time
drown out fire in any third-story in
town. 1t is safe to say that two
streams from such a machine on the
MacKay fire last February would have
stopped that blaze in quarter of an
hour.
The fireboys are mighty proud of
their new machine, and it is hinted
that they are praying for confiagra-
tion to try it on.

MADE ANOTHER EFFORT
TO START CURB MARKET
to the Old Proverb, 1t Is
Believed that the Third Time
Never Fails

Three farmers parked at the curl
market this morning. A number OF
housewives were out with their mar
ket baskets, but the farmers and the
housewives were not at the market at
the same time. A change in the hours
for the market will be necessary and
arrangements made to open the mar
ket at an hour suitable to both farm
ers and housewives. Next Friday
morning the market will be opened at
nine o'clock. Tuesday is holiday.
The city managers Office and the
Chamber of Commerce will cooperate
in an effort to get the market started
by phoning as many of the housewives
as possible to let them know that the
farmers are at the curb. The house
wives will also be informed as to
what the farmers have to offer.
A drawback that must be faced to
start with is that the habit of going
to market has not prevailed in Ocala.
The convenience of ordering by tele-
phone and of patronizing the produce
peddlers has not been conducive to
making use of the market basket.
Since the advent of the self-serve
stores, however, there has been an in
creasing number of housewives who
make use of the market basket. 1t is
between the hours of nine and ten
o'clock that most of the housewives
visit the self-serve stores in the
mornings. For this reason nine O'Clock
seems to be the best hour for opening
ME curb market. The market and the
stores can be visited at the same time.

which rate covers meals on board the
steamer from Port Tampa. This gives
Ocalans a splendid opportunity to visit
our neighboring republic at small ex-
pense. If you are interested see the

SHOULDN'T GIVE SOUR
FOOD TO CHICKENS

Gainesville, June 3O-You should
not arrive at any hasty conclusions if
you see chicken staggering around
with its head dangling about aimless-
ly, especially if the combs are darken-
ed and the wings are dropping, accord
ing to R. c. Blake, professor of poul-
try husbandry of the Florida College
of Agriculture. These are symptoms
of ptomaine poisoning, caused from
eating decayed or soured food.
The disease is prevalent at this sea-
son of the year, according to Prof.
Blake, who adds that it has been
wrongly called chicken cholera. The
latter disease is little known in this
country, he says.
The poisoning comes from poor
conditioned mash. Grain which has
been wet and allowed to stand in the
hot sun quickly ferments. Any fowl
eating the mash in this condition usu-
ally dies. Professor Blake declares.
Remedy, he says, lies only in preven-
ton, and warns that the mash hop
pers be kept clean and that none of
the food be allowed to spoil.
There is a small chance that if the
symptoms of the disease are recog-
nized in the early stages the fowl can
be cured by one teaspoonful of castor
