GRAVEL ROADS LEAD
OTHERS IN MILEAGE

The relative mileage of the various
types of road being built in this coun-
try is indicated by figures given by
the bureau of public roads of the Uni
ted States department of agriculture.
These figures apply only to federal
aid roads, but since they represent 25,-
900 miles of road now in use and in
clude roads built in every state they
may be taken as fairly representative
of the character of the main highways.
The $4,000 miles is divided by types
as follows:

3OOTLECCERS TAKE HEART;
JUDGE SAYS NO SEARCHING

For time during the last week,
local attorney reports, the chip
rocket league" and "suit case gang"
md bearers Of odd shaped bundles,
we're made merry by decision of a
California judge of the United
states district court, Judge John S.
cartridge of San Francisco, pro-
iibiting liquor searches without war
ant or court order. Under this
iecision automobiles are safe from
he dry agents unless they be armed
with a specific and iron-clad war;
ant.
The case in the California court
vas similar to one in which local
men recently participated near this
,ity, an automobile being held up
without warrant and seven quarts of
'tomach rust found. Upon trial the
vhiskey toter was discharged by
the judge, he holding that the fourth
md fifth amendments to the con-
iitution protect a man from seiz-
Ire and search without warrant.
However, the fly in the bootleg
yers' ointment is that Federal Judge
darlington of Nevada has long ago
1eld the opposite to be the case and
will sentence under similar circum-
stances.
Moral: Bootleggers either move
California or provide sufficient
'unds to appeal to the United States
,ourt of appeals to find out which
iudge is right.

4 staunch Democrat and as chair
nan of the Humboldt county Demo-
cratic central committee is generally
accredited with having done more
real work for party success here
abouts than any other one man or
woman. For that reason such recog-
lition of service would probably
meet with appreciation in the minds
If local adherents of the present
tate administration. And by the
anne token probably not few To-

CIVIC CLUB PLAY
WAS BIG SUCCESS
Play Produced Under Direction of
Mrs. G. w. Brady for Civic
Club and High School De-
clared the Best Ever

Because I Love You," the home
talent play produced by the Civic
Club and the Humboldt county high
school at the Nixon a week ago to-
night, under the direction of Mrs.
G. W. Brady, is declared by those
who attended to have been the best
ever offered in this city, the weeks
of training and effort resulting in
a very nearly perfect production.
Coming in for especial praise was
the acting of Mrs. Brady and ]. A.
Reavely, who played the leading
parts, both of whom, however, are
out of the amateur class because of
having at one time been profess
sionals, and also those who put on
|specia]ties, declared to have been the
best ever seen here enacted either
by professionals or amateurs. Other
members of the company showed
the result of careful training and
ability to act, these being Dorina
Petrinovich, Mrs. Lyle Minor, Helen
Adamson, James Moore, L. L. Tur-
ner, G. w. Brady, George Hoskins,
j. D. Scott, F. Defenbaugh and
George Cavanagh. Aside from the
principals, the work of L. l.. Turner
was particularly commented upon.
The singing of Mrs. L. G. Camp
bell was particularly appreciated by
the audience, she having been called
back for three encores. Apparently
Mrs. Campbell has learned iha. the
Nixon is a very hard building in
which to sing, and that the only way
the voice may properly be thrown
out is to stay as near the front of
the stage as possible, for her hearers
declare they never before heard her
voice quite so beautiful as upon
the occasion of last Thursday even
ing. Mr.. and Mrs. L. L. Turner's
dancing speciality was also roundly
applauded and the danceis called
back to the stage three times. Had
the audience had its way they would
have returned the fourth time. The
singing of Eloise Harris was greatly
appreciated, while the Spanish dance
of Dorina Petrinovich and the but.
terfy dance of Electa Rollins were
declared to have been perfect.

STOCK COMPANY
At NIXON IS GOOD
Hickman-Bessey Players Will Con-
clude Local Engagement Next
Sunday Night; Have Good
Offerings for Interim

New scenery which has been pro-
vided by the Nixon opera house
trustees will be seen by the public
for the first time tonight when
the Hickman-B Bessey stock company,
which has been playing at that show
house since last Sunday, will present
for public approval Putting 1t
Over" a comedy drama in which
Mr.. Hickman plays one of his best
comedy parts.
This company, exceptionally clean
not only in appearance but also in
manners and in the character of
plays presented, has received a
splendid reception in Winnemucca
this week, and in return it is ap-
parent that special effort is being
made to please the show-going pub
lie of this city, generally accredited
as being one of the most critical
Of show offerings on the transcon-
tinental circuit. Perhaps one rea-
son for this effort to please is that
the company will return here later
this year for another engagement.
In addition to the program for
tonight, the management has an
nounced "The Circus Girl" featur-
ing Miss Virginia Stanton, for to-
morrow night, and "Love and Poll
TICS" a political comedy with sem
sational features, for Saturday night.
What is promised will be one of the
most pleasing bills Of this engage
ment will be presented Sunday
night in "The Last Degree" a play
new to this community and one
which should not be confused with
play of similar name, ''The Third
Degree" misapprehension which
exists in the minds of some and
which the management has taken
particular pains to positively set al
rest. The reason for this is tnat
"The Third Degree" is a play which
most people have seen, while the
offering for Sunday night. "The
Last Degree" is entirely different
1t is also a play which has been
reserved for the last performance
in this city because it represents
one of the best bills offered by the
company and which is calculated
to leave show-goers with pleasant
remembrances of the company's
appearance in this city.
Besides the Hickman Bessey com
pany's offering of vaudeville each
night, in addition to different
play, an added feature of the per-
formance tonight will be the draw
ing of the American theatre pro-
gram prize of $5, which will be
held at the Nixon. Saturday night
will be pay night" when everyone
entering the Nixon will be handed
sealed envelope which may con-
tain anything from one cent to a
five-dollar gold piece. Following the
show Saturday night will be the
regular dance, to be participated in
by members of the Hickman Bessey
company.

PROFICIENT TYPIsTs IN HARD
TEST AT SCHOOL TODAY

A test which would have won
for two high school students REM
ington portable typewriter, had they
been successful in maintaining a
high tipping speed without error,
was held in the high school today,
Misses Evalyn Brown and Frances
Stuart, star tipping students, trying
for the coverted prize. Under the
rules of the fest the students must
type 600 words within a ten-minute
period without a single error, a
difficult feat as attested by the fact
that only nine students in the United
States have so far attained such
errorless speed. To qualify for this
test student must have won sew
eral minor prizes, including the gold
medal, which each of these young
ladies had done. and although they
were not successful in winning the
grand prize for expert tipping, they
made enviable records. Miss Brown
succeeded in writing 81 words each
minute for ten minutes, when one
single error eliminated her chance
for the prize, a speed of seven
words per minute in excess OF re-
quirements. The record of Miss
Stuart was nearly as good. During
the last two years, while the class
has been taught by Mrs. i. NJ.
Rucker, now retiring as a local
teacher, members of the class have
succeeded in winning every prize
offered for expert tipping except in
the test conducted today. Miss
Brown will be eligible to try for
the Remington portable several times
again next year and has already
announced her intention Of either
winning it or burning up a few
typewrites trying.
