DOUBLE TRACK MAY
Be INSTALLED
BY JULY |
Plan Whereby Southern Pacific and
Western Pacific Will Couple
Portion of Track To Be
Decided Upon May

That decision to initiate the
double track arrangement will be
made by the Western Pacific Rail-
road by May /, and that the ar
rangement will be in actual opera
ton by July 1, was information
which was received in Elko through
unofficial sources, according to the
Independent.
The recent inspection trips made
by officials of the Western and
Southern Pacific lines were made
for the purpose of inspecting the
tracks of both lines between Wells
and Winnemucca, and the latest
trip, made by the chief engineer
of the Western Pacific and his staff
of technical experts, was made for
the purpose of gaining data upon
which an approximation of the cost
of bringing the Western Pacific road
up to Southern Pacific standards
could be made. The process of
elevating the Western Pacific stand
ards will consist of installing block
signalling apparatus over the entire
Western Pacific lines and the con-
struction of steel bridges to take
the place of wooden bridges which
are now being used by the Western
Pacific. The crew of technical
experts who recently made the in
ipection are reported to have esti-
mated the cost of this procedure,
out as yet no announcements have
been made. 1t is believed, however,
that the expenditure will amount to
more than a million dollars.
1t was also learned that if the
double tracking agreement is reached
that news stations will be built at
Battle Mountain, Cluro, and pos
sibly at other points along the West

UNT|MELY DEATH
OF WILLIE HENLEY
Star Scholar of Twelve Years, Son
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. T. Henley,
Died Last Friday Night
Following Typhoid Attack

That the people of this city are
possessed of large hearts and are
even willing to extend unusual SYM
pathy and aid where needed has
been attested since the death of
William I. Henley Jr., son of Mr.
and Mrs. w. T. Henley, last Friday
night, when the treacherous typhoid
claimed another victim. Not for
a long time has a death been so
thoroughly regretted as in this in
stance, for the populace seemed to
feel with Mr.. and Mrs. Henley their
keen loss, and proved it when the
funeral was held Monday, most of
the business houses of this city
closing during the funeral hours,
sorrowing friends crowding the
Methodist church for the services,
and a long line of automobiles and
people afoot following the hearse
to the grave--surely a fine tribute
to the manly little fellow whose life
was snuffed out SO untimely, and
to his parents.
willie" Henley, as he was af-
fectionately known to most every
one hereabouts, had bright future
before him, with every advantage of
education backed by genuine desire
to utilize his God-given intelligence
in forging to the front ranks of
mankind. He was the only son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Henley, who idolized
him absolutely, and who had laid
away fund to assure education to
the greatest extent desired by the
boy, and that he was intent upon
gratifying their fondest hopes is
indicated by the fact that he was an
honor pupil of Winnemuccas gram
mar school, and up to the time OF
his illness was intent upon com
pleting both the B and A divisions
of the eighth grade within a single
semester, that he might hasten his
entry of high school by six months
knowledge of these facts and the
further fact that his parents are
beyond the term of life usually
called "middle age" brought home
to friends of the family the utter
heart-breaking sorrow which mus
be the lot of the father and mother
left with void in their lives which
can never be refilled. They, however
are trying to bear up and plan tt
close their store and home for {
month or six weeks while visiting
in California, away from the things
SO long associated with their sor
and which at every turn recall t.
them the fact that he is gone, never
to return.
Willie Henley was born in Man
haitian, Nevada, August IA, 1910
being brought to this city one yea
later when his parents permanent.
