TOO r To SHOUT

Before Ely and Tonopah take off
their hats and shout over the posi-
bility of the Lincoln highway chang
ing its terminus from San Francisco
to Los Angeles it would be we'll to
examine into the matter a little.
AS the White Pine News under
stands the proposal it is that the
highway be rerouted to come through
Green River, Utah, thence across
Emery county to Salina canyon,
through the Sewer valley 10 Clear
mountains, following the Arrowhead
trail to Beaver.
Right there would be the question
TO solve. Would the Lincoln High
way association then deliberately take
the mor northern of the two routes,
with the Wah Wab, Sacramento, Con-
nor, hurry and Currant Creeks sum-
mits to cross, or would 1t prefer to
lose its identity by putting in with
the Arrowhead trail and following
it to it's new terminus?
None of these SUBMITS is bad, but
they are SUBMITS just the same, and
while the route naturally is a better
summsr one than the Arrowhead,
would it be a better winter one? Or
would it be possible to convince tour
lists that it is better?
1t has a nice and cordial sound to
say that tho association would never
desert Ely, which has fought it's bat
ties. but there is nothing to that.
Carson and Placerville likewise have
fought its battles, and it has fought
theirs, as it has fought Ely's, but if
it changes to Les Angeles it will
have to leave out Carson and Placer
vile, and there is no law to prevent
it leaving out Ely also.

Flea Season.

Have you a little flea in your home?
If you have not you're not in the
scratching these days. If you have,
don't try to c%amoufiage by calling 1t a
sand flea," because 1t Is just plain
dog and cat flea.
That's what H. r. Dietz, assistant
state entomologist, says. Fleas are
beginning to become numerous. It
takes a flea only a little time to be
a neutrality-suspicious., Dietz said.
The flea question has become SO en-
gaging that the entomology division Of
the state conservation department has
prepared q bulletin on how to wage
war on the flea. 1t will be ready for
distribution soon, but n has to 60
some to get a jump ahead Of a flea

the soda fountain and the other as
cashier on the balcony, and their
names we're given. A. B. Stewart, a
former Coustocker or brother of
one, thought it was fine and enjoyed
the story as much as anybody, but
his partner, II. E. Holmes, came up
TO the Office with his war paint on
and said that article was brutal"
What probably saved the lives of
all of US was the fact that Percy Par
kinson. a relative and pet of Stewart
and the firm, was the reporter who
wrote it. For myself l could never
sec where Mr.. Holmes had any par
tieular kick coming, for of all the
thousands the firm in years had
spent in advertiser g-much of it
bordering on the salacious-none of
or the whole thing brought the
throngs to the store that that one
little free notice did in a single day.
But just thinl. how fiat a write-up
like that would fall today.
Incidentally it was not SO long be-
fore that when I we'll remember Mr..
Holmes being refused permission to
run a certain cut in his display ad,
which cut today would be svtame that
not a druggis: on earth would spend
a nickel upon 1t as an appeal for
business peculiar to the profession of
pharmacy.

Fairgrounds in Mexico City.

The public Fairgrounds presented to
the City of Mexico by the American
colony as their gift on the occasion
of the centennial celebration of 1921,
apart from their intrinsic value, have
been the means of providing thousands
of little ones with undreamed-of lux
ury. Excellently equipped and capably
managed and sustained by an interna-
tional association, they have succeeded
il so impressing the local authorities
that two more Fairgrounds have been
laid cut and completed.

iect IAN be forced into the discard.
A subordinate of the coast division
admitted to Assistant State Highway
Engineer 10y that the McDermott.
Phoebe and Caliente projects were be
ing built by government aid as stubs.
and he could see no reason why that
between Ely and McGill could not be
treated in like manner. To the sug'
| gestion that in the state it was the
second best travelled road, standing
son, which is paved, he acqniesced
and readily agreed that it could be
classified with the three other stubs
within the state and finished forth
with.
But when this Interpretation of the
matter was put up to DIR. Hughes he
vetoed it so brlskly and p~recipitate-
ly that he tipped his mitt right there
and by so doing revealed to the Deo-
pie of this county that he constitutes
the obstacle between them and their
right to have a road between their
principal towns, and that in his mind
he had planned a coup of compulSion
fixing the price of granting this I'M
questioned right, that they shall take
dictation from Utah, its Rishels, its
Mabeys, it's Petersons and other ON
tract breakers.
DR.. Hughes mistakes the spirit Of
White Pine county. Rather than be
coerced in this fashion and by such
arbitrary methods as he employs it
will build its own highway or do
without one and travel a cowpath
from now to doom's day. Never will
they consent even to a promise to
spend money on a road Off in The
northeastern desert as far as the
Elko county line, knowing in the
first place that Elko will never com
plete it and in the second that tour
lists would not travel il. Better in
initely that they spend their W
money to make a decent road to Nc.

it. than to spend other and 0
money on an extension where and in
Il direction never to be completed or
used, and let DR.. Hughes and his
coterie of directors go TO grass.
For the county to build its road
to where its people want it built
and have done with it, will save
money-big money. To follow the
whims of Hughes and his underlings
would cost White Pine county far
more in actual cash and get no lore
in return. Leave it alone.

M'GILL ROAD AS A CLUB

What the federal highway bureau
in effect tells the people of Ely and
White Pine county is that they must
adopt the Wendover route for the
eastern outlet Of the Lincoln high
way, and to compel them to DO so the
Ely-McGill project is being used as
a club. Or. Hughes, chief of the Pa
cific coast division of the bureau,
imagines that the people here in the
first place are so wrapped up in this
little portion of their project. and
in the second they are SO mercenary
that by refusing to permit federal aid
for the McGill project they will lie
down and let the Utah outfit and

HIGH TARIFF NOT FAVORED

Attorney j.. M. LOCkHaft reluTilel
last week from Denver. where he at
tended the Western Tariff congress
as one of the delegates from Nevada.
This organization has been formed
for the purpose of closely studying
the present tariff laws, and all pro-
posed changes, with reference tc
their bearing upon western indus
tries. and 10 suggest and work for
any changes in the laws which would
be beneficial 10 western producers.
1t is n non-partisan body and the
and objects which it stand
for are laudabIe. But at the outset n
little coterie of astute politicians
sought to inject 4 partisan note 1nto
the proceedings by fostering and
securing the passage Of a resolution
in effect boosting the present admin
istration by endorsing the Fordney-
McCumber act-product of n repuo-
lican congress. Senator Jones, demo-
crat, of New Mexico, subsequently,
launched a bitter attack on this reso-
luton, and so effective was his argu"
ment that the convention reversed
itself and rescinded the resolution.
Senator Jones charged the associa-
ton with voting contrary to its call
and contrary to the interests of west
ern Industries in adopting such a
measure, and said in part.
THE resolution you adopted last
night is s~ubversive of article III of
your call providing for tariff revision
to give thorough protection to the
producer of raw materials. As |
understand your attitude o intend
to favor the entire act (Fordney-Mc-
Cumber act) as it now stands. II
that is the case there is no common
ground on which we can stand. As
a member of the senate finance com .
mittee I am not ready to vote at the
behest of anyone for airy tariff that
puts a burden on the western people.
The present tariff does impose bur-
dens on these people, and you know
II.
Investigation by the American
farm bureau to show how much bene-
lit the farmer derives from the pres
ent tariff proves that FOR every dol
lar of benefit he must pay out ten
dollars for the manufactured articles
he needs. With the possibility of
'pyramiding' under the tariff taken
into consideration, I should estimate
hat the difference is even greater,
and that the farmer actually pays
out 500 for every 81 of benefit that
he receives. Why any agricultural
ist should vote for resolutions favor
ing the manufacturers still more is
beyond conception
Senator Phipps, republican, Col
orado, followed Senator Jones with a
speech ~favoring the resolution and the
Observation-Disclosures tariff act, but
latter's argument had produced such
a decided effect on the minds of the
delegates that a motion to rescind
was at once passed and the resolu-
tion killed. Thus the efforts of the
misguided political bunch to create
a partisan body came to naught.

No Occasion to Harm Bat.

AS bats are only rarely seen in the
