CAPTAIN HANK KNIGHT
FORMER EUREKAN TEMPoRARI-
Ly RESUMES VOCATION OF
STAGE DRIVER

A recent issue OF the Los Angeles
Express contains the following that
will bring back to old-time Eurekans
memories of the earlier days of this
camp:
Capt. Hank knight OF Hollywood.
pioneer Wells Fargo stage driver.
who for dozen years Of his life
would have felt dull and neglected
without a monthly highway holdup
and the popping of robbers guns. is
one of the biggest boosters Of the
American Legion 40 Camp and Frol-
ic at Culver City. Keeping to the
role he played In more adventurous
and dangerous days, he will drive q
pioneer stage coach with six mettle-
some horses through the streets Of
Los Angeles, to remind everybody of
the big fete and show they are invit-
ed to attend at the neighbor city
down toward the beach.
Mr.. Knight dropped in on the Le-
gion workers at Culver City to-day
to see just what the boys wanted him
to do, and when he heard he was to
give a sample of his old professional
work he shook hands all around with
delight.
You're doing something for me.
boys, instead of me doing something
for you." he said. "That'll be q
pleasure. Won't the old lines feel
good? You never forget how to drive
any more than you forget to swim.
It1l take me back"
Then came trigger pulling and
midnight thrill "reminiscences that
made the listening legionnaires won

warfare In it's romantic aspects on
the open road of few decades ago
than all the recent world struggle
afforded.

captain, when / had my overcoat
shot right off my back as cleanly as

drive was made during the night and
the carrier often became drowsy. He'd
tuck his gun between his legs and
| fall into sound sleep.
One night, nine miles out of Eu-
reka, New, we noticed a rope that
was stretched across the road. We
suspected at once that 1t had been
| put there by road agents. Our lead
horses went up against this rope and
were brought to halt.
DEMANDED TREASURE BOX
"A lone road agent leaped out
from his ambush by the side of the
highway. He demanded the Wells

roadside. AS was reaching for the
box hunched Jim Miller. my carrier,
with by elbow. He drew his gun,
but the highwayman, seeing what he
was up to. yelled. Hold there, don't
make a false move or you're a dead
man.
$50 Miller quit for the time being.
Then another road agent sprang
from the brush and covered both Mil
ler and me. Miller decided he would
do a bit of work, SO he slipped his
gun up. leaned forward and he
took a chance shot at the robbers.
His aim was too high. The first road
agent let go with his shotgun. tearing
Miller's right hand OF and cutting

EUREKA COUNTY
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The signing Of an agreement for
the construction OF q road across the
north end Of Eureka County between
the Eureka County Commissioners
and the State Highway Department
on September 6 closes one of the
community issues which the Eureka
County Chamber Of Commerce took
up.
For over two years the County
Commissioners have refused to nav
any bills that applied to the Welch
Canyon route. and have endeayored
to reach some definite agreement con-
corning q route which would be both
practicable and satisfactory to the
north end Of Eureka County.
In February of this year the mat
ter was brought before the Eureka
County Chamber of Commerce and
an active campaign started. Ques-
tionnaires to show the preference OF
the taxpayers were circulated
throughout the county and the Emf
grant Canyon route was overwhelm-
ingiy endorsed.
A detailed criticism of the issue
was laid before the Bureau of Public
Roads at Washington, d. c., and the
Field Division ONCE in San Francisco
by the Eureka County Chamber OF
Commerce. This resulted in the
holding up OF all surveys, etc., until
the matter was carefully looked into
by an engineer from the Bureau of
Public Roads. The report of this
engineer. F. A. Kittredge. which was
published In the Sentinel, advocated
a compromise road which met with
the approval of the people of the
north end Of the county. the Board
of Commissioners. and the Eureka
County Chamber Of Commerce.
While the County Commissioners
are to be highly commended for the
arm stand they took in the matter,
yet the active participation of the
Eureka County Chamber OF Com
merce was undoubtedly of great help
In bringing the matter to q conclu-
sion.
AS q result of the settling of this
question, a survey party from the
State Highway Department spent two
weeks here lately running lines and
gathering data for q graded road be-
tween Eureka and the Hay Ranch on
the Lincoln Highway. a distance Of
IL miles. This work Is being done
at this particular time In order that
advertisement for the construction Of
this road may be made this Fall and
active construction begin in the
Spring.
Just at this time the settlement of
this issue Is opportune. as It demon
strates that the Eureka County
Chamber OF Commerce works for the
benefit of Eureka County as a whole
and not for any particular section.
The Eureka County Bank building
has been obtained by the Eureka
County Chamber OF Commerce to use
as club rooms. and will be kept open
during the day and evening. Papers.
periodicals and magazines. besides
other forms of recreation will be
kept on hand for the use of the mem
bers, and the rooms can also be used
as a meeting place. especially for out
of town members.
Two evenings a month will be set
aside for the wives and women folk
of the members. at which time they
will be in possession of the club. On
such evenings as election night the
rooms will be kept at their disposal
In which to hear the returns.

BUSINESS IS
GETTING BETTER
FEDERAL RESERVE REPORT
SHOWS CONTINUED IMPROVE
MENT IN NATIONS ECONOM.
&c SITUATION.

Washington, Jan. 4.-Continued
upward movement of business and
the gradual restoration of normal
conditions are idicated in the COM
jarison of reports in the last month
with those of December 1920, ac-
cording to the December review of
the economic situation, issued by the
federal reserve board
Net improvement was found by
the board despite the recession of
business activity in December as
compared with the same month last
year.
"The holiday trade" the board
said, "is a test of the soundness of
preceding business activity. Reports
from the federal reserve districts
covering over half of the month
show that this years demand in the
eastern districts has registered an
increase running as high as 10 per
cent of that of 1920, while in other
districts the situation is pronounced
satisfactory"
Manufacturing conditions, howev-
er, the board reported as far from
uniform. There being a cease of ac-
tivity in iron and steel industry
while textiles showed little change
and uncertainty exists as to the flu
ture of the clothing industry, due to
labor disturbances and the Continued
demand of consumers for lower
prices
Freight rates, the board said.
continue as a disturbing factor due
to the belief that reductions already
announced as affecting some COM
modities may be much more midely
extended"
Relatively lower prives for cereals
and cotton, the board continued, had
discouraged trade in the agricultural
districts and also had resulted in re
tarding the liquiation of frozen
loans. Hardware and related lines
were also said to be in an unsatis-
factory condition, but wholesale pri-
ces "are showing increased stabil-
ity." Unemployment conditions were
reported but as little changed.
"A ueclueu Improvement III Euio
pean exchanges" the board said,
has tended to some extent to help
the foreign trade situation during
December, but the extreme caution
in the extension of bank credits,
which was previously SO notable a
phase of our foreign trade still con-
tinues.
