A SHORT LECTURE THAT
SINKS IN

Some days ago one of the big
men in the railroad business paid
this city a visit along with other
members employed by the corpora
ton, and after a few hours of
looking around a substantial lecture
was given the considerable audience
that had gathered at the chamber
of commerce.
In the course of the remarks
german to the conditions in this
section this railroader stated that it
was too bad that the people of Ne
vada did not feed themselves, and
he included the whole state.
We even import potatoes, so he
stated, canned milk comes by the
trainload, practically every table
is set with some kind of canned
goods, and all produced outside
of the state. Ninety per cent of
our cured meats are shipped in from
packers, and we pay railroad freights
for it all, and practically every
article is raised but not canned in
Nevada. In the days of harvest we

we live by the can, from hand to
mouth, and he criticized each and
every section where produce is
raised for this lack of foresight.
He stated that the company pre-
ferred shipping out stuff rather than
shipping in. OF the eighteen hun
dred cars Of hay that left Fallon in
the year he stated that it would be
preferable to see it going out as
cows, hogs, butter, poultry and the
orner products that are raised on the
project and over the state.-Fallon

PRISON FOR sPEEpERs

The resources of public sentiment
must be modified against the crime
Of reckless and careless driving.
It must be viewed for what it really
b. It cannot be regarded as harm
less sport, because recent horrors
clearly demonstrate that it is any
thing but innocuous. The speed
maniacs should be stripped of all
glamor and glory; for he is either
mentally defective or criminally in
clined. To neither of these two
classes can such power to do harm
be entrusted. Speeding cannot be
considered a matter for joking be-
cause 1t involves life and death.
The public must learn to frown on
this dangerous practice that has
brought about so many horrible
tragedies, and must be uncompro-
missing in its condemnation. Only
thus can an end be put to irrespon-
sible automobiling that exacts such
heavy toll of life.-Tonopah

A NEW POLITICAL JOB

The state board of examiners,
acting under the legislative act Of
1923, has created a director II
employment, adjustment ard pub
lie relations" in the highway depart
ment. Upon its recommendation
William p. Harrington, who has
been a state appointee at Carson
City for many years, has been given
the place at a salary Of $4,000 n
year, and will probably be allowed
travelling expenses. The cost will
be charged up to the highway de-
partment account.
Mr.. Harrington is a very pleasant
gentleman, and capable Demo-
cratic politician. He is not. how
ever, an engineer, a contractor, nor
an executive in commercial affairs.
It is only to draw the conclusion
that the place was created and the
appointment made to permit the
state administration to have a
greater influence over the selection
Of the employees in the highway de-
partment. Since its creation by
the legislature that department has
been non-political, both in theory
and operation. Its engineers,
draughtsmen and assistants have been
chosen for their fitness and eff
cheney. The directors have, in the
past, fatty refused to give out
positions as political favors.
Ever since the inauguration Of
Gov. Scrugham this has been mat
ter Of complaint at the capitol. 1t
has been publicly charged by the
state officeholders that far too many
Republicans are on the highway
payroll. "Why," they have de-
manded, "are these places not held
by Democrats"
The creation Of the new position
you'd correct" this situation, in
their judgment. 1t would, also,
they figure, make another nice salary
for one Of their deserving" party
members. And SO we have added
to the state roster a director of
employment, adjustment and pub
lie relations"
1t is supposed that this move will
procure employment for deserving
Democrats. secure more relations
upon the payroll.--Reno Gazette.

THE MAN AND THE MOON

Los Angeles has so boosted itself
by press agent expedients that news
papermen have become chary of
stories without palpable foundation
that come from the ultra progressive
southern city. Caution has come to
be the watchword Of the news as
sociations when anything Of an un-
usual nature is heralded as having
its genesis in or near ."the city Of
angels" In this connection an anus
ing incident happened at the d.
vision offices Of the Associated Press
in San Francisco. Gilbert Parker,
the news editor, had been attending
to some of the duties of Paul
Cowles, superintendent, during his
absence on tour of the northwest.
Cowles returned to his desk about
1:45 in the afternoon, and had been
seated but a moment when he was
handed a message, dated Los An
geles, which read: "Moon coming
up" Parker rubbed his eyes to
make sure that he read Alright,
then looked at his watch. He was
specializing whether some of the en-
terprising Los Angeles city fathers
had made a working arrangement
with the heavenly bodies for a
special midday visitation as one Of
his assistants was passing. The
latter volunteered the information
that there had been some previous
wires on the subject, and that there
was a story in the making about a
man named Moon. Los Angeles
had merely indicated that it was
about ready to send the news over
the wires.-Carson Appeal.

HARRY v. MOREHOUSE
is GONE

The death Of Harry v. Morehouse
takes away one of the last Of the
old school of public orators. There
are few of them left, if any, and
those who, like Chauncey Depew,
are still alive are too far along
in years to take active part in pub
lie life. Morehouse was of the
southern type, and was one Of the
few who, when he was in his prime,
could indulge in ford periods with
out losing force.-Reno Gazette.

NEVADA LED IN SILVER FIGHT

An outstanding feature of the
silver conferences which have been
under way at Washington for the
past six weeks has been the pre-
dominant part taken by officials and
citizens of this state.
Two Nevada senators have led the
entire official representation from
the west for the metal mining in
dustry. Senator Oddie is chairman
of the congressional commission
named to inquire into the silver
situation, and Senator Pittman is
chairman of the subcommittee ap-
pointed by the commission, upon
recommendation of Senator Oddie,
to investigate the application of the
Pittman purchase act. Both have
worked zealously for their con-
stituents and for the silver mining
interests. Henry Rives, secretary
of the Nevada Mine Operators As
ISOLATION, was in constant attend
ance and rather strange to say, the
mine operators of the other states
did not send representatives, but
left the matter entirely in the hands
of the Nevada delegation.
The heaviest portion of the work
with the ALLEGATION of silver accept
ances for future delivery and the
protection of western producers
from the smelling concerns, fell
upon Mr.. Rives, and according to
advices from Washington his SER
vices in this respect were indis-
pensible.-Reno Gazette.

In both lode and placer depart-
ments the Round Mountain Mining
company is showing a decided i'm
provement, with prospects for doing
still better as the season advances.
In the mine, 80 men are engaged in
development on the laterals of the
$50 and 200 levels. Twenty men
are employed on the hydraulicking
section where they are getting bet
ter results from more economical
utilization of the flow than was
done in former years. Last year
the management thought the re-
turns were excellent but for the
season of 1928 the showing will be
much better.-Tonopah Times.

New Railroad Gets o. K-
The Nevada Public Service Com
mission has sent forth q request
that the interstate commerce COM
mission grant a certificate of public
convenience to the Oregon Short
Line for the construction of the
road from Rogerson to Wells with
out a. formal hearing, and at the
earliest possible date, according to
recent advices from Carson City.
The Nevada commission states
that it has been advised that the
certificate held by the Idaho Central
railroad company has been pur-
chased by the Twin Falls chamber
of commerce for cancellation. The
Nevada, commission urges, however,
that a clause be required in the new
certificate to require construction
within eighteen months.-Elko Free

by j. B. Boone, an expert marble
worker from South Carolina. 1t de-
velops that the claim was filed on
early in April of this year by Mr..
Boone and Fred Whitney.
News of the discovery was kept
quiet until recently, when it leaked
out. Meantime extensive examina-
tons had been made as to the
quality and extent of the deposit
by the Smith syndicate Of Los
Angeles. The investigations led to
the location of about 200 acres in
the district, and the original claim
was bonded to the Los Angeles
people for $150,000. The original
find has been prospected over its
entire area by trenches and shallow
shafts. These developments prove
that the marble is in place in guam
tity all over the full length and
width Of the claim.
1t is stated that Belgian marble

Summer Resort Near Elko--
A tentative plan for converting "a
portion of his beautiful South Fork
ranch holdings into a splendidly
equipped summer recreational re-
sort is being evolved by w. r. Bel
linger, owner of the property, ac-
cording to an announcement made
by Mr.. Bellinger in Elko recently.
While the plan is by no means
complete and in an. embryonic stage
so far as actual commencement of
the work is concerned, Mr.. Bellin-
ger thinks he may have the place in
operation in time for the summer
activities of 1924.
A baseball diamond, boating lake,
tennis courts, dance pavilion, sum
mer cottages and camping grounds
are among the appurtenances of
this new Elko county resort which
Mr.. Bellinger plans to create. The
roads leading to the proposed re-
sort from various valleys and hereby
towns would call for private MAIN
tenance under Mr.. Bellinger's plan

This is the ruling that has come

that conviction is following in prac-
