80 HOURS NEW YORK
PLAN FLIGHTS LA

BY NEA Service
Philadelphia, Feb. Regula,
daily flying passenger service bacS
and forth across the Atlantic ocean
Will be an accomplished fact in
1926!
And the trip-each way-will be
made in about 30 hours!
This is the belief of Edward r
Armstrong, noted engineer, aviator
and inventor of Philadelphia, who
has just completed plans outlining
in detail the establishment of this
extraordinary service.
He proposes to construct eight gi-
gantic stations which will be an
chored at intervals of 400 miles
across the Atlantic ocean. BY meth
DDS which he has perfected it vii!
be possible to anchor these stations
in fixed places and stabilize them
so that they will be free from the
roll and pitch which even the most
mammoth ocean liners are subjected
to.
Each station or "seadrome" will
be 1900 feet long, 400 feet wide, and
have a platform of liz acres on
which the seaplanes will alght A
crew of about 1875 men will be sta
toned on each seadrome. There will
be complete io-telephone and
wireless telegraph receiving and
broadcasting stations, meteorological
bureau, aeroplane repair shop and
hotel accommodations for overnight
guests. Between stations huge buoys
one every so miles--il illuminated at
night by acetylene gas, will mark
the course of this new White Way.
Ten planes will leave the Ameri-
can terminal-say at Atlantic City
daily, and ten other planes will leave
the English terminal-possibly at
Plymouth daily. Each plane will
carry from 20 to 30 passengers, two
operators, and will have additional
space for carrying mail and express
packages equivalent in weight to
one-half the total passenger load.
At no time will plane be more
than one hour and half away from
station. The stopoverS at the sta
lioHo Will vary lTOHl 10 minutes 70
half an hour. Meals will be served
at every other station. The planes
will travel at speed ranging from
100 to $50 miles an hour and at times
possibly up to 200 miles an hour,
providing there is favorable wind.
The proposed course across the
Atlantic will be south of line that
divides the ocean into what might be
called two weather parts; south
of this line the ocean is free of 95
per cent of the hazards caused by
fog, storms, and icebergs.
Armstrong says that so far as
the flying phases of his plan are
cerned there is not detail that is
not already an accomplished fact.
His two really new contributions
are his methods of anchoring and
stabilizing his mid-ocean stations.

THE STATE FAIR AT
FALLON

The sum of three thousand dol
lars appropriated by the state legis-
lature to hold a state fair in Fal.
lon will not finance an attraction
of statewide interest.
As C. G. Swingle has suggested
unless it can be properly financed
we had better have only a Churc-
hill county fair.
The very fact that the legisla-
ture contributed three thousand
dollars imposes an obligation. Churc-
hill county put in a bid for the
state fair. Our legislators were
successful in their efforts against
those from stronger and richer
counties. It is now up to Churchill
county to make good.
More than three thousand dol
lars is necessary. Entry charges
and gate receipts are sources of
revenue, but this is not enough.
More money must come from bust
ness men, farmers and taxpayers of
Churchill county. If it does not its
probable there will be no more state
fairs held in Fallon and a great OPP
portunity for exploiting our re-
sources will have been lost this
year and during years to come

manship like manner in which they
conducted themselves on and off the
court, and made countless friends
in the Utah metropolis with their
unequalled display Of courage and
fight in each Of their contests.
What better tribute could be
asked than the statement found In
the story Of the first game which
said "the Nevada boys played the
cleanest ball that has ever been
witnessed in any high school con-
test and again, 1.-THE Nevada play
ers displayed a wonderful fighting
spirit and won the hearts of the
fans with their sportsmanlike con-
Duct" Those two statements alone
mean as much almost as the win
ming of the tournament.
The boys have lived up to the
Nevada tradition. We of the Sage
brush state are used to battling
against odds. We have the least
to work with in Nevada of any
state in the Union, and yet we have
built commonwealth that is second
to none in the quality Of our citi-
zens. The Elko lads have proved
themselves most worthy representa-
tives of the state of Nevada in COM
petition with the best in the Rocky
Mountain country. Elko Free

OPINIONS OF OTHER NEVADA EDITORS
Excerpts from Editorial Expressions in Nevada and
Other Publications, Showing Trend of Public
Sentiment in Other Places

yers, one a former district attorney
and the other a judge upon the
bench, and so failed to give a two
thirds majority in favor of the re-
moval resolution.
Il is significant, however, that q
majority of the assembly voted to
sustain the charges, and while Judge
McFadden escapes from the stigma
of impeachment a rebuke has been
administered which cannot be
ignored.
Members of the bar should draw
one lesson from this and former
proceedings of like kind, and that
is that the people Of the state ex-
pect the highest degree of conduct
upon the part of their judges, and
resent anything smacking Of un-
seemly conduct Of usurpation Of
authority. Intelligent people agree
with Attorney Chandler, speaking
for Judge McFadden, that "a Judge
does not take the veil when he
ascends the BENCH" but, on the
other hand, they do expect him to
faithfully observe the laws which
he is elected to administrator

THE LEGISLATURE

The legislature which has Just
adjourned averaged well with those
OF preceding years. It cannot be
said that it enacted any legislation
Of an outstanding character, but it
does deserve credit for having
killed large number of half-baked
bills and for making sincere
effort to reduce the operating ex-
pense of the state government.
In the latter it did not succeed.
At no time, not once, did it re-
ceive one iota of encouragement in
that respect from those in charge of
the states business at Carson City
Efforts made, early in the session
to effect a consolidation of COM
missions and a consolidation of an
pointive state offices were fought
to the bitter end by the elective
state officials, and upon every oc-
cassion they were able to muster
enough votes in one branch or the
other to defeat such measures.
Not bill was introduced by the
state administration to reduce the
operating expenses of the govern
ment, and no legislature can ac-
complish in that direction without
the sincere aid of those in charge
Of the various departments. It is
notorious that the most important
bills fathered by the state admins
tration carried large salary pro.
visions. Every one Of these was
defeated-Reno Gazette.

HORSE RACING

Il now appears quite probable
that within short time California
will reach into Nevada and pluck
another of this states activities.
Horse racing has been conducted
in Nevada in an orderly manner
for the past several years and the
sport has been generally enjoyed
under the pari mutuel system. Now
comes California, jealous of Ne
vada's success in this as in other
affairs and is attempting in a we'll
planned way to take the sport of
kings out Of Nevada for her own
entertainment.
True, a meet to be conducted at
Tanforan, south of San Francisco
this year will be without the betting
feature, but this is only an enter
ing wedge and it is quite prob
able that within the next few years
the ban on betting will be lifted in
that state and the horses will be
taken there where a larger crowd
gathers than in Nevada.--Carson
Appeal.

VALUABLE TIME LOST

Admitting that the legislature Is
necessary branch of state gov
eminent, that a number of conscien-
tlous men are serving in both
houses and that q few bills are en-
acted beneficial to the states pro-
gress, the majority Of bills intro
duced come under the head of class
legislation and are helpful to a
mighty few. At this session much
valuable time that could have been
put to much better use by the law
makers, was absolutely wasted in
the drafting and introduction of
such bills as those calling for the
removal of the capital to Reno, the
removal of the university and state
hospital from Reno to Carson and
whatnot. Over fifty per cent of
the bills introduced can be safely
classed as Tomfoolery, indicating
that about half of the time devote
by the members Of the legislature is
wasted.-Gardnerville Record Cour-
Ter.

HOMETOWN PAPERS
GREAT VALUE

The man who subscribes and pays
for a newspaper-and everybody
who pretends to be anybody does
these days-spends more money
each year on that newspaper than
he does his magazines because it
is worth more to him. If it would
cost him ten times as much he
would still buy it and if the price
was placed beyond his means he
would find some way to borrow it
from the neighbor. He would have
it, because without it he is at a dis
advantage with his neighbors and
competitor. He would not know
what was going on if he didn't have
it, and would be left still while his
neighbors and everyone around him
kept moving on.
When a medium like the home
town paper is so close to the hearts
Of the people, when it is SO vital
to them, is it any wonder that the
columns of that paper are such an
important place in which to ad-
vertise?-Tonopah Times.

MeFADDEN AND LANcAN

Judge McFadden, of the Ely dis
trict, will be permitted to serve out
his term-by grace of the rule
which requires a two-thirds vote
OF both houses, voting separately
to effect a removal. In the as.
sembly the vote for removal was
IL to Ia, after the members OF
that body had listened to the ties.
timony of numerous witnesses, pro
and con, in relation to the conduct
OF the accused both on the bench
and off the bench. It was plain
that an overwhelming majority be.
lived him disqualified for the posi-
ton he occupied and it was equally
plain that some of these who voted
against the removal did SO because
they were reluctant to enforce 80
drastic a remedy for the unfor-
tunate situation that exists.
This is the second proceeding
within two years for the removal
OF district judges in Nevada. In
the other instance the assembly
gave more than the necessary two.

vote in the senate would have effect.

Fire at Carlin-
A most spectacular blaze visited
Carlin last week when the fire de-
partment responded to an alarm to
discover a cabin, next to the Catho-
lie church, ablaze.
The cabin was occupied by a
Mexican employee of the railroad,
and when discovered was almost
completely destroyed. The depart
ment responded Immediately but
were unable to do much except to
save the adjoining buildings.
Everything in the cabin was lost,
including an automobile which had
been stored in one end.-Elko Free

THE HOODLUMS

Following the final game of the
''hoop" tournament in which the
Carson five defeated the Reno team
q handful Of young hoodlums, or
ganized, it is alleged, for the pur-
pose of breaking up any demon
stration which Carson might stage
here in celebration Of her victory,
attempted to lombard the visiting
team with ancient eggs, and later
tried the same tactics at the depot.
Like all guided youths who indulge
in practices of the sort, the men,
bers Of the "egg squad" were built
largely on the same design as that
employed by nature in the con-
structiona of the missiles selected
by them-they had lot of yellow
in them. Bystanders insist that
when two or three Carson boys
took after them they ran like the
rotten ours that they are.
Athletics in school life does two
great things-it builds strong men
and women and it teaches the great

thing that is brave and fair and
generous. =

Creased as far as has any similar

INDICATED BUT REBUkED

Where there IS so much smoke
there must be some fire, an old but
trite saying that many people today
are using in expressing their opin-
ion of the legislative whitewash ap-
piled to Judge McFadden of White
Pine county, against whom a resolu-
ton for removal from office had
been made after serious charges
had been preferred by Assembly
man Zurich of White Pine county.
While the jurist was indicated by
an Is to Is vote, at the same time
he was severely rebuked in permit
ting his personal conduct to become
such that there were grounds for
the charges.-Tonopah Bonanza.

LOOSE STOCK ON HIGHWAY

There is a law on the statute
books of Nevada forbidding the run
ming of stock on the highways. In
Carson Valley this law is excep-
tionally well followed, but we can
not say as much for Washoe coun-
ty. At any time Of the day OF
night loose stock can be found
running at large on the highway
between Carson and Reno, endang-
ering the lives Of auto drivers and
others that use the highway.
A few nights ago, returning
from Reno, the writer was witness
to a near tragedy, which was only
prevented by the cool-head of an
auto driver. Rounding a turn at
not more than twenty miles an
hour, several head of stock Jumped
down an embankment directly in
front of the machine, the driver of
which banked his car on the ODD
posite side of the road and in a
ditch to prevent a collision.-Gard-
nerville Record Courier.

THE LAST ACT OF THE
FARCE

When the decision Of the Thirty
first Nevada Legislature was rend-
cred in the impeachment proceeding
against Judge C. ]. McFadden of
Ely the curtain rang down on the
last act Of another farcial demon
stration of our lawmaking impo-
tency. Although majority of
those who sat in judgment voted
to dismiss Judge McFadden from
the bench, strong minority saved
him from ignominy or removal.
For the second time in three
years this state has had demon
strated by actual experience the i'm
possibility Of reaching a satisfactory
decision in impeachment cases be-
fore the legislature. Practically
the same result was attained in
the complaint laid against Judge
Langan of Storey county at the
session preceding this, a case in
which it was pretty generally agreed
even among the legislators that the
accused jurist's friends saved him
from removal.-Elko Independent.

REFUTINC ExTRAVACANr
CLAIMS.

The fact that the people of Elko
county appreciate newspaper
which is free and independent in
its views, and which is unafraid
to bring to the public eye the do
ings of their county officials is
evidenced by the large number of
new subscriptions which have been
added to The Free Press list within
the past three months.
The Free Press at the present
time is printing more papers to be
delivered to paid subscribers than
at any time in its history, and
while we are not able to boast of
the largest circulation of any pa
per printed outside the city of
Reno, we are prepared to lay claim
to the largest paid subscription in
Elko county and stand ready TO
prove this, should the occasion de-
mand.-Elko Free Press.

BETTER TIMES

With the passage of the farm
credit measures in congress and
the legislation in Nevada enabling
advantage to be taken o. added
credit facilities, the coming years
should be prosperous for the agri-
culturist and stockgrower. The
progress of irrigation and drainage
enterprises governed by the ranch
ers themselves promises to be ma
terial in the coming years with
more and more sections taking ad-
vantage of the acts which permit
organization and development. The
Spanish Springs project, the Carson
Valley project and half dozen
others struggling to the light may
be expected to 60 forward and re-
fleet themselves in added pros
perity, more settlers and general
advancement.-Ely Times.

BETTER TIMES ASSURED

Posting Of an advance in wages
by the Nevada Consolidated, effec-
tive March 16, would seem to in
dictate that the employees are to
share in the advancing price of
copper, thus bringing its benefits to
every industry in the district.
This is as it should be, and the
company is to be congratulated
upon this step, which is one in the
right direction and one which will
aid materially in assisting the dis
trict to recover from its long per-
iod Of depression.
The Ely district, in common with
all other sections depending upon
copper mining, has been practically
dormant since the armistice put q
stop to the world demand for the

PRESIDENT cLARK.s SALARY

It appears that there is more in
volved in the discussion than the
mere creation Of an annual salary
for an individual. The much more
important consideration is whether
we shall maintain the University
OF Nevada as an highly efficient
educational institution or allow it
to lapse into the class of a third
rate co-edacational boarding school.
1t has been argued that there are
men who will be glad to accept
$4,000 per annum for directing the
affairs of the University il Presi-
dent Clark finds the salary unat-
tractive. That is no doubt true
but there are also men VINO would
accept $4,000 per annum for the
same purpose, but no doubt their
employment would be much of an
adequate remuneration to q man of
Clark's ability-Elko Independent.

Dog Poisoner Still Active
Elko's pernicious dog poisoner
who took a vacation for a short
time has made his appearance again.
The latest valuable animal to suf-
fer at the hands of this most out
rageous criminal is the pedigreed
Chesapeake dog belonging to P. C.
Domino, of the DUPONT Pharmacy.
The dog was kept chained in the
yard back Of the Domino residence
and was never out of the yard ex-
cept at the end of a leash held by
Domino. Monday night upon re-
turning home from work, Domino
released the animal, as was his Gus
tom, and took him into the house
to feed him.
Shortly after finishing the even
ing meal, the animal had its first
CONFUSION, and passed away before
the doctor could be summoned.
From the nature of the poisoning,
Domino feels certain it was cya-
nide.-Elko Free Press.
