tival on Thanksgiving day. The Of
ferings last year were many and
varied, consisting of the products of
fertile Carson Valley as well as can

The combined offering was sent to
the Lutheran college at Oakland. II
is matter of pride to the local con-
gregation that of all congregations In
California and Nevada following this
custom. Trinity Church of this place
brought the largest Offering. II is
expected that this years celebration
will be accompanied by still larger
Offering.

and mailed to the commission some
time before the hearing, was referred
to by the Andersons and denied in
substance by Gefeke. This affidavit
alleged inability to get transportation
on September 7. An affidavit was
also filed by Mrs Geo. McCutcheon
Mr.. Gefeke to hold his stage few
moments until she could get her
things together, but that Mr.. Gefeke
refused to wait. This affidavit was
supported by another affidavit filed at
the hearing in which Mrs. McCutch-
con asserts her inability to attend
the hearing on account of her physi-
cal condition. Gefeke's reply to these
affidavits is that Mrs. McCutcheon
called after the stage had left.
The complaint by telephone that
four men were at Wellington and
could not get transportation and that
at the time Gefeke's car was broken
down between Wellington and Gard
nerville was denied by Mr.. Gefeke
who stated that he had no break
down at that time.

which would afford greater convent
ence to them and others Of the trav-
cling public.
|. The complaint of Roy L. Tracy
as noted above need not be consider
ed inasmuch as Mr.. Tracy failed to
sustain his complaint by proof and
does not hold a certificate of public
convenience and necessity from the
Public Service Commission.
H. The means adopted by Mr..
Gefeke in telephoning ahead to a
stage station to inquire If there would
be passengers, Is not feasible way
of safeguarding the public, as people
might wait anywhere along the route
of travel and not necessarily at a
telephone station, nor would they or
dinarily be at stage station several
hours in advance of the time Of leav-
ing as scheduled In the permit to
operate.

HEAVY TRAFFIC
ON HIGHWAYS

That the general impression that
the volume of traffic on none of our
highways would compare with that
of the thickly y-settled eastern states is
somewhat erroneous Is indicated by
a comparison between the traffic CEN
sus on various Of our roads and
some of the highways of the eastern
states.
For example. the Highway Depart
ment of Rhode Island took a traffic
census for one week during July and
compared with the Nevada census
over certain highways taken during
August and September we find the
following:

Bear in mind. OF course, that the
Rhode Island census was taken in a
different month when traffic was
doubtless heavier than later in the
fall. These figures will impress upon
all OF us that increasing highway
