A copy of the brief of the Lincoln
Highway Association addressed to
Henry c. Wallace, secretary OF agri-
culture, reached the White Pine
News Office yesterday through the
mails and it contains a world of mat
ter that should have the effect of de-
feating the numerous attempts of
Utah to repudiate its solemn contract
by refusing the complete the highway
across the Great American desert to
the Nevada line at Ibapah. The brie:
is a bound volume of 172 pages and
Is set in twelye-point type. literally
illustrated by halftones.
Outside of a certified copy of the
contract between the association and
the state of Utah, perhaps the most
salient feature Of the book is in the
form of a series of photographs OF
the Lincoln and Wendover highways,
the facts which they tell being undo
niab1e.
Several of the more vital para
graphs of the contract are contained
in the body of the brief and the in
strument in full appears in the APP
pendix. In the former are these
particular paragraphs:
Whereas, Through II patriotic
desire and support We believe that
this construction will provide the
only immediate opportunity for the
Lincoln Highway Association and
the state road commission of Utah
to cooperate in achieving a result
of vast national Importance; and
Whereas. The state road COM
mission of Utah is willing to ac-
cept the money rendered, in con
sideration of the fact that the said
road commission shall be allowed
to make the construction requested
and required and in full compli-
ance with the general road policy
of the state OF Utah.
Elsewhere 1t contains this tele-
gram from then Governor William
Spry of Utah:
In view of the decision a%nnounc-
ed at Colorado Springs that the
Lincoln highway will not be con-
StTuCteu Via ITiCt, 1 uIec the Duiiu-
ing Of the highway through Utah
via Echo and Weber canyons, Og-
den, Salt Lake City. Tooele and
Ibapah, and will be glad to coop
crate SO far as possible to that end.
On a succeeding page a fac smile
of the telegram is reproduced in the
form of a Photographic copy.
Among the photographs contained
is one of the paved Lincoln highway
west of E lit Lake, constructed by the
state of Utah under the agreement,
and another of the high grade on the
Goodyear cutoff as 1t first appeared,
with four automobiles passing by.
There are others OF the Lincoln high
way near Tooele and in Rush valley,
Utah, several at Fisher pass, some
east OF Ely, one being In Antelope
valley near Tippett and several on
the Midland trail between Ely and
Tonopah. Another shows that nc
road exists from Wendover to Ely.

LINCOLN HIGHWAY BRIEF
FOR WASHINGTON HEARING

There are some excellent pictures or
showing the scientific and durable
work done by the state OF Nevada,
part of them being in the famed Car
son sink.
One Wendover road picture shows
/, the grade oYe the salt beds which
was announced as completed in De-
cember, 1921. The picture was
taken April Is, 1929, and shows the
road already a total wreck. Orig
inally 1t was twenty-five feet wide.
At the date of the photograph 1t was
eight feet and ten inches wide. The
water was twelve miles wide and
forty miles long, with a maximum
depth of twenty inches. Another
view shows a wreck of the wood
curbing placed beside the Wendover
grade to protect il from the action of
the salt water. The wood lies In
heaps and piles and these are strung
out for the length OF the half-sub-
merged grade.
The brief Is accompanied by a
pamphlet showing that a seventy
million dollar project is now 81 per
cent completed and that the amount
motor tourists already averages
500, 100000.
The hearings before Mr.. Wallace
are scheduled to begin tomorrow at
Washington. Attorney B. l.. Quaylc
represents the Ely point OF view
there and has been commissioned by
the Nevada highway board. he also
being local consul for the Lincoln
Highway Association.

considered an experiment, but like
all great steps in advance, time
will be required to develop and
perfect a system before this process
can be expected to reflect on the
operating costs of public utilities.
Mr. Emmett estimates that if the
mercury boiler comes up to all ex-
peotations, it will produce with 35

Wallace figured most prominently

In regard to password, it seems
that the Parrot High five had the
edge over the locals, for the home

The local five were not quite as
