Henry Ford has been indulging in
some sharp talk lately. But if you
had as much money as he has ac-
cumulated you would talk big too.

THIS is A SLANDER ON
ON NEVADA'S CANARIES

Here is a man, says one of the
Fallon papers who wants to enter
the "jackass' market in Fallon, w.
G. Gunter, of Triniti, CAL, writes
that he would like to have a little
"jackass" or two on his own ac-
count and for his own use. "If /
can procure same at reasonable
prices" he continued. However,
Gunter wishes to purchase burros,
not liquor. Noticing that a resi-
dent of Fallon had written to J..
]. Fitzgerald, president of the Santa
Rosa poultry association, offering
him Is burros Gin good condition
to be used as meat scraps for the
chickens" Gunter wrote to Fallon
seeking information regarding the
man, saying that he would like to
make a purchase.

vorce case was started yesterday in
the supreme court at Carson City,

gan in the Douglas county court.
Gavin McNab and P. A. McCar-

COMPETITION IS
WORRYING s. P.

According to press reports, the
Southern Pacific Company is look
ing with alarm at the threatened
traffic competition that will be
waged against the road, says the
Sparks Tribune.
President Sproule and General
Manager Dyer have gone to Tucson
to start series of conferences
with the officials of the company
and will visit all the principal rail-
road points on the system to dis
cuss future business and to spur
the men to greater efforts.
The recent acquisition of a Cal
ifornia outlet by the Union Pacific
has shown the possibilities of an
immense diversion of traffic to the
southern route, leaving Ogden and
going down over the newly acquired
interests into Los Angeles for
eventual distribution.
Hitherto most of the Union Pa
cific freight has been delivered to
the S. P. at Ogden for routing this
way.
Another factor that has caused
concern to the S. P. is the rehabili-
tation of the Western Pacific and
the indications in evidence at this
time that the new road is going
to put up keener competition for
west bound business. A conference
of the officials of the Western Pa
cific was held in New York recently
and General Manager Levey has
just returned to the Pacific Coast.
1t is understood that at the New
York conference arrangements were
made for extensive improvements,
including the possible securing of
tributary lines, as well as the con-
struction of mammoth freight and
passenger station at San Fran
cisco.
Just what the S. P. will do to
withstand this increased COMPETE
ton has not been stated. But it
is believed that Sproule and Dyer
will announce a policy after the
series of conferences in the south
west. Joining them at Tucson will
be julius Kruttschnitt and others
Of the executive committee of the
board of directors.

LOvELOCK GIRL IS
AHEAD BY HONESTY

Rosie Cerini, little Lovelock
girl, found an uncancelled check
on one of the side streets of that
town a few days ago, according to
the Review-Miner, and believing
that it might be valuable to some
one, took it to A. l.. Bachrodt at
the Pitt Mill and Elevator Com
pany place of business. The check
was drawn in favor of Zeffero Ven
TURF and was on a Southern Pa
cific form. Mr.. Bachrodt turned
the check over to the S. P. station
agent in Lovelock who forwarded
it to the division superintendent at
Roseville, Calf, in an effort to
locate the party who owned it. The
Lovelock agent received the follow
ing reply from the general car fore
man at Roseville:
"Yours of the 18th at hand to-
gether with pay check favor of
Zeffero Ventura, No. AL. This
man was employed as car repairer
at this point.
While enroute to Carlin on train
No. 20, on December Oath he was
robbed. He left his coat hanging
in the berth and when he return
ed his paycheck and $85 in cash
were missing. Loss was reported
upon his arrival at Carlin.
Enclosed is a check for five dol
lars, a token to the little miss who
found the paycheck. The payee is
very thankful to her."

Through activity of the Gard

system for that town, the matter
took formal shape the last week
in the circulation of petition, re-
questing the county board of COM
missioners to call a special cleo
ton at an early date so that the
people might voice their opinion
as to whether the system shall be-
come a reality and at the same
time the board is asked to prepare
for a bond issue of thirty thousand
dollars to run for fifteen years
and to bear interest at not more
than six per cent per annum. The

NEW AUTOMOBILE LICENSES
ARE NOW READY FOR YOU

Thus far there are very few
1922 automobile licenses to be
seen in this part of the state and
the condition points to the fact
that many folks had better look
to their antics or the sheriff will
get them. Every automobile own
err has until the first Monday of
next month to get his license and
after that date they are subject to
arrest should they essay to drive
their cars without the new deco
ration.
This year, following out a Gus
tom adopted by nearly all states
Nevada will furnish two plates for
each car. The one plate idea
worked out perfectly in Nevada,
but motorists that journeyed to the
coast in their machines found it
great inconvenience to be stopped
at nearly every corner by the
traffic cops in California cities and
told that the front license plate
was missing.
The new 1922 plates are now
ready for distribution and must be
secured before the first Monday of
the new month.

William Davis was formerly con-

old Carson friends will be glad to
know, remarks the Appeal, that he
has entered the literary field and
is successful in the endeavor.
Strategy" is not his first ac-

SLEEPING ILLNESS
CLAIMS A VICTIM

From what is said to be the first
case of sleeping sickness ever re-
corded in Virginia City, John Hig-
gins, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Higgins, died last Wednesday. He
had been i'll of the disease for sew
eral weeks.
The young man, who was seven
teen years old, contracted the dis
ease in an unknown manner and
his case baffled the physicians for
time. He was given every treat
ment possible but gradually sank
until death came.
He was a native of this state
and had resided all his life with
his parents at the Virginia and
Gold Hill water company's reser-
voir on the divide between Virgin
ia City and Gold Hill.

WESTERN PACIFIC
PURCHASE Moo.

Expenditure of millions of dol
lars by the Western Pacific railroad
company for extensions of tracks,
terminals and purchase of new
properties and further invasion of
rich agricultural and timber lands
in California and Oregon was indi-
Gated last week when Charles M.
Levey, president of the company,
returned to California after stay
of three weeks in New York City.
From an authoritative source it
was learned that the Western Pa
cific intends to spend millions for
three purposes:
Extension of the present term
inals at Eighth and Brannan streets
in San Francisco; purchase Of the
Nevada-C California Oregon railway
operating from Hackstaff, Lassen
county, Calf, to Lakeview, Ore,
and construction of an electric
line from Woodland, Calf, to the
tidewater port of Vallejo, to be
operated in conjunction with steam
err service from Vallejo to San
Francisco.
These three moves are intended
by the Western Pacific to add ma
terially to its freight traffic as
we'll as to increase its passenger
service, especially between Wood
land and San Francisco. 1t is un-
derstood that stockholders of the
Western Pacific will meet on Feb.
20 at Wilmington, Del, for the
purpose of approving the sale of
company bonds for the acquisition
of the Sacramento Northern rail-
road and extension of the same
from Woodland to Vallejo.
From time to time announce
ments have been made that line
would be built from Woodland to
Vallejo. Each time California Of
ficials Of the Sacramento Northern
have denied plans to build the road
in the immediate fture.
As a nucleus for the projected
Sacramento-Vallejo line are the ex-
listing Sacramento Woodland and
the Vacaville- Fairfield Suisun lines
which are feeders.
The proposed Woodland Vallejo
electric line, it has been learned,
will tap Winters, Vacaville, Fair
field, Suisun and Vallejo. The
proposed electric line will be 81
miles in length.
Although the proposed electric
line takes on the color of an am
bilious venture, the reported ac-
QUESTION of the road running north
to Lakeview, Ore, from Reno, New,
is declared to be a far more stra-
tegic move.
The existing road from Hack
staff to Lakeview is a narrow
guage. 1t is the intention of the
w. P. officials. upon taking over
the property, to tear up the narrow
guage tracks and lay standard
guage, to conform with the regular
w. p. equipment.
Charles Moran, president and
chief owner of the Nevada Californ-
ia-Oregon railroad is resident Of
New York City and it is reported
that President Levey of the w. p,
and other w. p. officials conferred
with him on the purported sale.
II the w. P. takes over the MOO
property it will give the w. P. ac-
cess to a rich agricultural and tim
Der district, particularly at the Ore
gon terminal.
Officials of the w. P. went into
conference with President Levey in
San Francisco upon his return from
the east.
No official word was available
of the purported extension plans
of the w. p, but it was learned
that for many months plans have
been carefully considered for the
three ambitious extensions and i'm
provements.
