many months Of a leisurely civil war
seems the definite goal of the south

traceable its marked difference in APP
pearance when compared to other
cities in China.
Picking he expects to find, as in other
Chinese cities, the hammered signs of
shOpkeepers throwing gay canopies
across narrow, tortuous, huddled
streets; but behold; broad avenues
three miles long, crossed by other
broad three miles long, max
ing squares as regular as those of a
c~heckerbOard.
The visitor wonders whether the
builders Of this city saw in prophetic
vision the streets of Chicago, Denver
aEd Philadelphia. Then he begins to
realize that Picking is the N spacious
Chinese city because it was built by
the adventurous barbarianS of the
north, men who lived in the saddle,
upon steppes and plains, whose feet
were set in a large room.
Wonder does not stop with the
length, breadth and regularity of the
streets. The traffic upon them is equal
~ unexpected. In the cities of south
ern China, sedan chairs edge their
way with difficulty through the crowds
of pedestrians and carrying coolies,
who jostle each other in the narrow
lanes. In Peking every street is alive
with beasts and vehicles.

moving catafalques and crimson we'd

HIGHWAY MEETING
At JORDAN VALLEY
Good Roads Convention That Should
Be Attended By Number of
This City's Good Business
Men and Live Boosters

Secretary Grady of the Chamber
of Commerce is much interested at
thsi time in a meeting that is to be
held at Jordan Valley, in the south
eastern portion of Oregon, October
II, II, and 13, which has been
called for the purpose of expediting
the promotion of the Idaho, Oregon
and Nevada highway cutoff which
will connect the Victory highway
with the National Park highway,
leading to Yellowstone Park.
The meeting in Jordan Valley,
as a matter of fact, is continuance
of the highways meeting held in
Winnemucca this last June, which
brought about the establishment
of the Lassen highway from Win
nemucca to Eureka.
lnasmuch as the Forthcoming
meeting in Jordan Valley will be at
tended by the state engineers and
highway commissioners of Nevada,
Oregon and Idaho, along with a big
delegation of good roads boosters
from all counties Of northern Cali
fornia, secretary Grady considers
it of imperative importance that
Humboldt county be well repre-
sented and he is going to to exert
strenuous efforts to persuade at
least ten of Winenmucca' promi-
nent citizens to sacrifice enough
time from their personal affairs to
permit them attending the meeting
Aside from the good they can
undoubtedly accomplish for this
section of the country, the trip will
afford a splendid diversion from
perconal cares, and will prove
highly recreatiVe.

PEACHES
RAISED AT SCOTT RANCH

The Silver State force was treat
ed this morning to some of the best
peaches ever tasted, grown on The
Willow Creek ranch owned by Tom
Scott, in the Platora district. The
peaches are of the Elberta and j. H.
Hale varieties and were luscious if
peaches ever were. Thanks are due
to an old friend of the Scott family
who was SO impressed by the quality
of the peaches he felt he had to
spread the news to an awaiting
world, through this medium. He
said, among other nice things, that
Scott, who has the ranch known to
old-timers as the DR.. McLaren ranch,
also raises other varieties of high
grade fruit, including grapes and
plums. The old-time idea of farm
ers seeing to it that newspaper men
are provided with farm products of
which the growers are particularly
proud seems to be returning to pop
ularity, as witnessed by promises of
Humboldt county grown cantaloupes
from the Stall ranch, apples, and so
on, and The Silver State men are
not one bit averse to announcing
that some more of the Scott brand
of peaches wouldn't go bit bad.

TEACHERS MEET IN
RENO IN OCTOBER

Plans for the state teachers in
stitute to be held in Reno, October
3, 4, s, and 6 are announced in the
Nevada Educational Bulletin, the
first to be issued by the department
of education since the present school
year began. The speakers are to
be DR.. R. B. Won Kleinsmid, re-
Gently appointed president of the
University of Southern California,
and formerly president of the Uni
versity of Arizona; DR.. Henry S.
Curtis, formerly secretary and vice.
president of the Playground Asso-
citation of America, and DR.. Walter
E. Clark, president of the University
of Nevada.
1t is announced that the earlier
dates fixed are in response to the
expressed wish Of the teachers last
year, and it is explained that while
it will crowd those teachers who are
to have a part in the program, yet
the advantage of having the help
of these meetings early in the school
year should outweigh the incon-
veniences in preparing for the in
stitute program during the opening
days of the school year. The bull
letin says:
while the attendance of teachers
at state institutes is not compulsory,
the professional opportunity af-
forded them and the possibilities for
thus Strengthening the school work
in our state in the interest of the
boys and girls are so great that it
is expected that all teachers within
a reasonable distance will avail
themselves of the chance to gather
with their contribution of personal
interest questions and suggestions. F"

w. p. FREIGHT BUSINESS
DOUBLED BY FRUIT TRAINS

The number of freight crews
running out of this city hs been
nearly doubled during recent days
according to Western Pacific Agent
Joe Grauvogel. Five or six crews
had been employed, but there are
now eleven crews working full time,
being called at terminals after al
lowance of eight hours rest, which
period of rest is compelled by
law. The reason. for the rush is
aseribed by Grauvogel to fruit ship
ments from California to eastern
states.
Settlement of the strike of shop
workers is commencing to result
in improved condition of locomo-
tives, according to Grauvogel, cut
ting down the time delay of trains
that has been experienced. Other
rolling stock did not deteriorate as
rapidly as locomotives during the
strike and is in fair condition. 1t
will require more time to get the
big machines in first-class condi-
ton, but they already are in such
shape that they can be gotten over
the road on schedule time, accord
ing to Grauvogel.

SPLENDID PROGRAM FOR
CIVIC CLUB RECEPTION

Plans are being made for the
Civic Club "book reception" to be
held next Tuesday night, in the
Chamber of Commerce rooms COM
mencing at 8 o'clock, which make
success of the occasion almost an
assured fact. The affair is to be
entirely public spirited in nature
and the announced admission, either
book preferably fiction) or a
cash donation, is calculated to make
possible the immediate institution of
free public library for Winnie
mucca, under supervision of the
Civic Club, which organization has
for long time worked for that
accomplishment.
Cards and refreshments, a pro-
gram of music and talk by Judge
]. A. Callahan, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, on the topic
of what the Civic Club is for and
what it is trying to accomplish, to-
gether with other features now be-
ing worked out by a committee in
charge, are to be the drawing cards
to induce people to attend and bring
books for the library.
An effort is to be made to get
permission from the Chamber of
Commerce to open the library in the
rooms occupied by the boosting or
'ganization, which matter, however,
is pending until acted upon by the
membership of the chamber.
