LINCOLN HIGHWAY
AND TOURIST TRAVEL
FaIIon Concerned Over Routing of People
Past Newlands Project.

Preparations for the summer auto
or tourist trade is being given con-
sideration by the county commission
ers, as crews are busy on roads lead
ing to the Lincoln Highway. At the
present time 22 wagons are hauling
gravel four ways from Fallon.
Attention is being given to the
road between Hazen and the dam.
as a tractor and leyeler are now
working along that important branch
of the Lincoln Highway. 1t is real
lied that If tourists are to be directed
in or out of Fallon the roads must be
In such condition that warning of
danger will not have to be given.
The Carson chamber of commerce
and the Placerville chamber are both
making egorts to continue advising
travel over the Lincoln Highway. 1t
is realized that the shunting of the
tourist to the north, either coming
or going, takes him past the Lahon-
tan valley and Lake Tahoe. Plans
are under way at Carson to carry on
a spring campaign on the 0sterman
grade, which was worked on until
the storms drove the county crews
off. Last season a crew was main
tanned during the entire season on
highway improvement on this grade.
Ii is the intention this summer. or
early in the spring, to widen the
grade in all danger points and also
cut out a number of the dangerous
curves. This work is done mainly
to attract tourist travel over the Lin
coin Highway. An outstanding fea-
ture of the adyisability OF using this
route to the lake was shown by the
many Reno people who made the
weekend trip to Lake Tahoe over
the OsIerman grade last season.
The effort to send tourists over the
Victory Highway In preference to
the Lincoln Highway and the stand
taken by Reno has made IL impera-
tive that local action must be had
by all of the Nevada towns situated
on the Lincoln route. Once travel is
diverted north. not one of the towns
on the Lincoln Highway route will
be in line for this class of trade and
possible settlement by people look
ing for a chance TO set up home.
In a recent issue of Sunset" an
article on the virtues of the Lincoln
Highway and the Victory Is set forth
by A. +. Bement, vice president of
the association. lie points out that
auto tourist travel westward has in
creased two hundred per cent since
1914. 1t broke all records last year
and he predicts a higher per cent
this coming season. The article is
devoted mainly TO the efforts of GER
tain interests in Nevada and Utah
to divert travel either north or south
OF the Lincoln Highway and points
out that Reno can benefit directly
by advocating this route. 1t leading
through Fallon, then on to Reno,
where the tourist can take either
the highway to Carson and then over
the Placerville grade, or can be sent
north via Truckee and Auburn.

.Seieler Sentence
Held Until Friday

The Jury having the case of Harry
C. Seigler under consideration late
Wednesday afternoon returned a YER
dict OF guilty Of assault to do great
bodily injury.
Following the verdict the date of
sentence was set for Saturday Jan.
90, but upon motion of Attorney
Haight for the defendant the case
was postponed until Friday. January
36th.
Since the conviction friends have
been active In the hope of reducing
the sentence from a prison term to
that of fine.
1t Is understood that a number of
Jurors and others who have been in
terested In the prosecution have
asked that Judge Hart temper JUS
tice with mercy
There seems to be some doubt as
to the application of the law in re-
gard to the sentence In this case.
Under one provision of the code 1t
is possible to impose a fine of at
least a thousand dollars or impris-
onment or both. Should this feature
prevail and be within the power of
the Judge to do so. friends of the de-
fendent are urging that fine be
imposed instead of prison sentence.

Poison Squad
For Coyotes

The menace to human life and ami
NAL life by rabid coyotes has been
taken up by the county commission
ers. This followed complaint by a
number of farmers scattered over the
project, as one farmer had been Bit
ten and a number of dogs have had
to be destroyed following mix-ups
with their wild cousins.
Last month the county set aside
$500 to be applied to the extermin-
alton of coyotes and several trappers
have been employed. Under the state
law the counties furnish rs per
cent basis of fund which is added
to by the federal government in
maintaining the rabies commission
and names the chairman of the var
ious county commissioners and two
other members, In this county c. e.
Kent and II. E. Smith are the joint
members. They have been working
to exterminate the animals but 1t is
urged that poison be resorted to. In
some instances complaint against
this procedure has been filed, it being
claimed that other animals take up
the poison and loss of stock dogs has
been the result.
II. e. Smith took up the matter of
a poison raid with Mr.. Sands, head
of the state commission at Reno.
The result of this conference was
that Mr.. Sands is willing to send men
here to conduct the poison raid, but
only under the plan of placing the
poison where 1t will do the most
good and be safe. 1t is proposed to
start the work this week, il proper
arrangements can be made.
Those who desire poison distrib-
uted in certain district should leave
word with County Clerk Howard Or
report to Mr.. Smith, and they in turn
will confer with the men appointed
to look after the work.
Owing to the fact that a number
of dogs have tangled with coyotes
farmers are advised to tie their dogs
up and await developments. In any
district where poison is scattered the
farmers should house or chain their
dogs for a time. BY cooperation be-
tween the farmers and the commits
sion 1t is believed that much good
can be rendered.

The outlook for better season in
the Lahontan valley is indicated
by inquiries received by the local
real estate men. Jay L. Heady, who
has been in the business for manv
years, and knows the valley from end
to end stated few days ago that he
had more Inquiries for land the past
month than at any time last season.
Several sales have already been made
and prospects for more are in sight
In speaking of the future of the
district. Mr.. Heady said: while
there are failures in farming SO there
are in any other line of business,
but the farmer as class is not a
failure, on the contrary he is work
ing out the salvation of the country.
and while lot of them have had a
struggle in this valley it is evident
from the cream checks. and other
money sources that the farmers are
surely getting on their feet.
During the past month l have
had inquiry from people outside of
Nevada, men who want to come here
and make their homes, as parts of
the middle west and the north have
not been prosperous and then they
do not have the climatic advantages
that are to be found here. In this
valley we have not alone climate to
throw into the bargain of selling but
we have the land and water and that
is what the irrigation farmer must
be guaranteed before he comes into
the state to settle.
II believe that the movement in
of the times that can be found. 1t is
true that there are some farms for
sale, but that has to be or there
would be little for the real estate
man to do. 1t is the same in every
district in America. Take any pa
per and you will find more farms
for sale in other sections than in
Fallon, that is, in proportion to pop
ulation.
'All of the new people who are
seeking homes here are farmers.
They have heard of the Fallon pro-
ducts, dairy and agriculture and that
is what is bringing them here.
AS far as l am concerned it looks
like one of the best years ahead.
Many farms that heretofore were not
in position to take up new lines of
agriculture are now ready, and new
settlers will bring in new ideas with
them. Fallon and the project have

who comes from the north and far

''0f the 600 miles between Salt
Lake and Reno, 435 lie in Nevada
Central California need not worry
about the Nevada section. BY the
end of 1924. the Lincoln Highway
across Nevada will be completed. The
road from the Utah line to Reno will
be as highly improved for the traffic
it will be called upon to carry as any
section of the Lincoln Higyay be-
tween New York and San Francisco
1t will be improved to the govern
ment standard. Through the finan-
cial aid of the Lincoln Higway Asso-
citation, every section of the route re-
quiring Improvement has been placed
under contract.
The Association has provided Ne
vada with s115.000 which in that
state commands over 100000 in
federal aid appropriations, and con-
tracts already closed between the
Association and the state highway
department of Nevada and between
the state highway department and
the federal government call for the
completion of all poor sections by
June /, 1924. Work is progressing
next year the balance of the needed
improvement will be let. The road is
completely financed. The rutted
alkali flats which constitute the only
serious difficulty on the road across
the state today-now that the Fallon
Sink has bee bridged by good road
will be graded and grayeled.
What remains? What is the last
gap, the final barrier In a great
through road across the continent

more nor less than the short link

presented the state of Utah with
$125,00O of eastern money to open
the road to the coast. The road Is

grade across the desert itself was
completed long ago and has carried

tenance. How long it will continue
to do so is questionable. When even
those most determined TO go into San
Francisco can no longer get across
that little seventeen mile neck Of
desert, traffic from Salt Lake into

With Reno deliberately advising
a route north of the Lahontan valley,
where there is the only possibility OF
settlement by people seking homes.
the wonder is that the people have
had the patience SO far exercised.
Reno has bid for the dollars that are
made in the Fallon section and then
asks the world to pass us up. 1t is
an ungenerous motive to say the
east.

BETTER MINING CONDITIONS

Copper. lead. silver, zinc and last
but most important OF all, gold min
ing have a good year ahead OF them.
The market for all these metals is
growing better and better every day
and also in every way, per Coue
pronounced Coo-ay).
Western states can hope for larger
investments and employment OF more
labor in mining than ever before In
their history.
Legislatures should be slow to I'm
pose new taxes, new regulations, or
heavier license fees of any kind on
mining operations.
Industries that employ large In
vestments of capital and maintain
big pay rolls, must sell their pro-
ducts in the open market Of the
world.
Political handicaps only restrict
operations and prevent the largest
possible amount of money being
placed in circulation through labor

Cantaloupes, while they did not re-

Inquiries continue to come from this
source and it is going to be one of
the money makers in the future.
Then take dairy stock. The Long
herd has gained national reputa-
tion, as stock and dairy journals all
over the United States have told of
the cows that are making the section

raised the pay checks. / am con-
