A card has been received by the
Sentinel from Mr.. and Mrs. william
Murray Gilcrest announcing the mar
riage Of their daughter. Dorothy Hav-
ems. to Mr.. George Philip Hopkins on
Wednesday. February %, 1922. at
Denver, Colorado.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hopkins will be at
home to their friends after March 10,
at $40 Franklin street. Denver, Col
orado.
The bride. who taught English and
French In the Eureka County High
School for two years, terminating in
June, 1921, left many friends here
who will unite in extending their con-
gratulations and best wishes.
As an educator, she had the happy
faculty of being able to impart her
knowledge and of getting the re-
quired work out of a student to ac-
complish results. Her educational
work here strongly left its imprint,
and its influence will be instrumental
in shaping characters as time passes.
The groom has won an attractive, ac-
complished. and a young lady es-
teemed in this community.

NEW PAVILION REGULATIONS

The Pavilion Hall management has
requested the Sentinel to announce
that in the future smoking will not
be permitted in the main hall, the
anteroom to the right of the entrance
being prepared and given over for
this purpose. Considerable complaint
has been made about the condition of
the dancing floor, due to the smoking
and splitting on the floor. Large cards
setting forth the above regulations
are being prepared for posting in the
hall, and the management states they
will be strictly enforced.

ROM MIR. SEXTON

alisade, New, Feb. rs, 1922
The Board of County Commissioners,
Eureka County, Nevada.
Eureka, Nevada.
Gentlemen:
have before me petition (that l
have been requested to sign) in the
matter of the selection of a highway
through the north end of Eureka
County, and wherein it appears that
the Commissioners of Eureka Coun-
ty agreed with the State Highway
Commission to expend or throw away
$4,000, and l am asked to indicate
which of two routes favor the ex-
penditure to be made upon.
In the first place, why did the Com
missioners agree to waste this money
together with the cost of continuous
upkeep? If $4,000 is on hand to
expend to improve roads why is not
that money spent to help the people
of the southern end of the county.
where the majority live and are sadly
in need of facilities to place them in
the same position as the people of
the north end of the county?
The Emigrant road or Humboldt
River Route will be used but little by
the people of the county, and certain
ly not sufficient to justify the people
standing a tax of $4,000, and per-
petual care, to provide for the con-
struction. The Welch Canyon-Mag-
gle Creek Route will only help serve
Elko County (who already get con-
siderable share of what Eureka Coun-
ty produces), together with tourists
who when travelling that route we
are not concerned about anyway
either for their health or pleasure.
and the waste of $4,000, together
with perpetual upkeep on this route.
will justly convict any county officer
taking part in this wilful misuse of
funds as being a CRATER or having
been controlled by influences that
will inure to his personal benefit.
AS taxpayer protest against the
misuse of money as applied to either
route until the voters of the county
have taken an official voice in the
matter by ballot, and IL this amount
of $4,000 is to be expended on road
construction in one place. the Com
missioners will do well to let the
people vote on the subject.
Your very truly.

HAMMOND PLANS
EUREKA COMBINE

Reno Gazette: With John Hays
Hammond as the moving factor. a
movement is now under way to con-
solidate several Eureka mining prop
critics and erect a big mill to treat
immense amounts of low grade ore.
according to j. e. Sexton, manager
of the Eureka Nevada railroad. who
was here Wednesday.
The plans have not progressed to
any extent, says Sexton. but several
very wealthy men are interested in
the project and the sampling is now
going on.
I'VE expect to see general revival
in mining in the district" he said.
"and If this deal goes through 1t will
mean the opening up of great ore
reserves and the consequent return
of some Of the old-tims prosperity of
tAs aistsist."

SEXTON MAY DEFY
STATE COMMISSION

That ]. e. Sexton, manager of the
Eureka Nevada railroad, does not
recognize the Jurisdiction of the State
Public Service Commission in fixing
freight or passenger rates on the
railroad. and furthermore will not
answer the complaint fled two
months ago by the Eureka Chamber
vice Commission to make q full in
vestigation of the rates for freight
and the passenger fares on the road.
was indicated by him this morning
in discussing the subject.
When asked II ne Intended to ans
wer the complaint OF the Eureka
Chamber of Commerce Sexton said:
II believe did receive some kind
OF a communication, but l didn't
answer it and don't intend to. and I
don't think I'll appear at the hear
ing
Suppose the Public Service Com
mission issues an order reducing
rates on your road. what will you
do?" he was asked.
II am just waiting to receive such
an order" said Sexton, but I am
not stating what 1 would do with it
at this time. That would be tipping
my hand. Let them speculate, it's
not worrying me any"
The complaint in the case has been
in the hands of the Public Service
Commission for some time and Sex
ton has not filed an answer. A date
for the hearing has not been set, but
it is expected 1t will be set within the
next few weeks. In case the Eureka
Nevada railroad fails to appear the
Public Service Commission will in
vestigate the case anyway, according
to the general procedure, and will
take action accordingly.-Reno Gaz-
ette, February %.

but he has had q mighty lot to say
about this proposed crime against
the taxpayers of Eureka County.
II our State Highway Department
is not manned by men big enough to
run the Department without the as
sistance Of outside clubs. corporations
or individuals. let's get new men in
the State Highway Department.
The highway law Of this State Is
very plain, simple and explicit and
positively says that the Board OF
County Commissioners of your coun-
ty in this case. is THE BOSS. wher-
ever they say the road shall be built,
there is where 1t will be built. The
dishonest agents of the Welche's Can
yon route will tell your Board of
County Commissioners that they are
delaying the building of this high
way; that 1t won't be built unless
they permit 1t to be built through
Welche's Canyon; that the grade.
curvature, distance and lot of 9TH
er bunco stuff is against the Emigrant
Canyon route, all of which will be
false. every word of 1t, for this road
is going to be built, and where your
Commissioners say, and it will be
built one place or route as quickly as
on the other.
1t is to be hoped that none of your
taxpayers will take any stock in this
$4,000 proposition. This is also
bunco game and shows fraud and
lack of good faith on the face of 1t.
1t is gratifying indeed to know that
your Board of Commissioners we're
able to get away from Reno with a
gate open behind them, bywhich they
could yet do the square thing by their
constituents. Don't think for a mo-
ment that they were not up against
a hard proposition while there.
Your County Chamber of Com
merce should be highly commended
for the active and prompt interest
they are taking in this matter. 1t
will not take a prophet to tell what
the result of their efforts is going to
be.
know that your Commissioners
are goir@ to do the square thing by
their ty, and l can now see the
road /, built via Beowawe and
throui migrant Canyon to Carlin.

The letter published above from
George w. Borden, State Highway
Engineer, addressed to the Chamber
of Commerce, explainslits side of the
controversy, but it does not justify
the contention of the taxpayers of
Eureka County that in locating this
route across the North End that any
consideration was given to building a
road that would serve the convent
ences of Eureka County citizens.
After leaving the White House,
which is about three miles from the
beginning of the project. there is not
a single inhabitant on the road as
now located, while on the road fav-
ored by Eureka County taxpayers all
the residents of the North End would
have an outlet both east and west on
an improved highway, and at least
one section of our county would be
raised out of the mud. Common
justice. If nothing else. demands that
when a community is called upon to
pay out their good money for public
utility such as an improved highway,
1t should be so located as to be avail
able to them.
The Highway Department contends
that the Welche's Canyon road can be
built for $S5.0O0 less than the Emil
grant Canyon road. but how these
figures have been arrived at has new
er been divulged. 1t is a known fact
that there has never been even a pre-
liminary survey made of the Emil
grant Canyon route. and the guess of
one man is as good as another when
1t comes to riding over country on
horseback, as can be proved of the
engineers who inspected this route
for the Highway Department.
1t would be very enlightening to
the taxpayers of Eureka County IL 1t
could be arranged to have a couple of
responsible road contractors look
over the two routes and make bids
for the construction, uninfinenced by
any outside considerations.
We all know that any engineer can
at his will and pleasure throw road
In or out of excavation so as to ma
terially increase construction costs on
any project. and that in this instance
1t would be supposed that II the High
way Department wanted to make the
Emigrant Canyon road cost SIS, 1000
more than the other route 1t could
very easily be done. However. II an
henest location was made In Emil

VIII Obtain Sentiments Of Tax
payers Before Acting I'm North
End Highway Matters

E. C. Johnson, Commissioner of
Eureka County; called at the Sentinel
Office Tuesday and stated It was the
intention of the Board Of Commits
sioners to obtain the wishes of the
taxpayers of Eureka County as a
whole before taking any definite ac-
tion regarding the payment OF bills
presented by the Highway Commits
sion, and also the acceptance or re-
lection of the Weiche Canyon route,
now adopted by the Highway Com
mission and the Government.
He also further stated that the
Board planned to put this whole mat
ter of building a highway in the
north end OF Eureka County before
the people, and obtain their views
and wishes before taking final action
in the matter; and at the regular
meeting of the Board on Monday,
March 6, the Board intends prepar-
ing a QUESTIONABLE to be sent out to
the taxpayers covering all points in
this highway road controversy.

The Eureka Prince Mining Co..
owns the Silver Lick mine, former
producer of rich silver ore. in the
Adams Hill section of the Eureka
district. The property was purchased
from the owners, Harris & Fine, in
1920 by Eugene Davis. Elaborate
plans for development and for a mill
to treat large tonnage of milling
ore were proposed but not consum-
mated. The mine is considered to
be a valuable property II financed

grant Canyon, with all conditions of
Government regulation relative to
grade. curves, etc., complied with, it
is an open question whether the con-
tention of extra cost could be main
tanned.
In a question of such Importance
to the taxpayers of Eureka County, it
would be to their best interests to
have our County Surveyor author
ized to make preliminary survey of
the Emigrant Canyon route with
view of checking up on the conten-
tions of the Highway Department.
The cost of this work would be NOM
inal compared with the benefits to be
derived from local standpoint. We
would suggest that the County Com
missioners give this suggestion a
great deal of consideration, as we
believe this is the logical procedure
in this controversy and the only way
that the taxpayers interests can be
protected.
LOCAL RAIL RATE HEARING
"A StCdl uOdl VI ulSCuSSlou HAS uctu
raised in Eureka following the re-
ceipt of telegram from ]. e. Sex
ton of Palisade that the Supreme
Court of the United States had rend-
cred decision in the Wisconsin Rate
Case which in that particular instance
curtailed the powers of the State
Commissions to regulate intrastate
Commerce. Mr.. Sexton contends that
this decision bears directly upon his
present case before the Public Ser
vice Commission of Nevada, and that
it has no jurisdiction in the matter,
but the Eureka County Chamber of
Commerce contends that unless there
is something more in the decision
than the present press reports avail
able show, there is nothing in that
decision that curtails the powers of
the Public Service Commission to reg
ulate rates on railroad doing a
strictly intrastate business.
The Chamber of Commerce is in
receipt of a letter from the Public
Service Commission stating that 1t is
in position to give this hearing i'm
mediate attention, and until the Com
mission has been heard from def1n-
ftely in the matter, we still believe
that the Commission will proceed as
previously outlined.

FROM HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
Carson City. Nevada. Feb. rs, 1922.
Mr.. l.. A. Harris,
Secretary Chamber of Commerce,
Eureka. Nevada.
Dear Sir:
After reading the February 18th
copy of the Eureka Sentinel, we wish
to make few statements relative to
the article entitled, ITO The Taxpay-
ers of Eureka County," and which
article has to deal with the road sit
uation in the northern part of your
county.
Our records show that a selection
of the route of northern Eureka
County was made prior to the bill
mentioned in this article which was
approved March IA, 1921. AS this
selection was made by this depart
ment and approved by the Bureau of
Public Roads and work commenced
prior to March IA, 1921, the law
therein mentioned does not apply, as
legislation is not retroactive in this
case.
In regard to the $4,000 men,
toned by Commissioner Reid, we
wish to state that this money is to be
spent on a road which Is a detour to
our construction at Humboldt River
and comes within the scope Of our ac-
tivities. Due to the hegreatlength of this
road 1t will require quite a sum CT
money to keep it In repair during the
coming Summer in order to take care
of the traffic which will be routed
put this detour in shape was agreed
upon after consultation with your
County Commissioners.
There is one other matter which I
wish to call to your attention, and
that Is that the Bureau of Public
Roads has outlined policy to US de-
string that before any new projects
are taken up In county that the pro-
jects already under consideration and
upon which work has started be con-
structed first. The reason for our
conference with the County Commits
sioners of Eureka County at the Reno
meeting of the Overland Trail Club
was to make 1t possible for the COM
pletion of the work already under
taken in the northern part of Lander
County, SO that the work would be
started upon the Eureka Hay Ranch
section.
hope you will bring this matter
to the attention of your Chamber of
Commerce.
Very truly yours,
GEO. w. BORDEN,
State Highway Engineer.
