GRADING FROM BRIDGE
TO BLUE GOOSE RANCH

A new cut off road saving more
than a quarter of mile and I'M
proving the thoroughfare vastly in
every way, is being graded between
the stone bridge and the Blue Goose
ranch, beyond Murry summit on the
Midland trail, the county doing the
work.
The old road made long loop he
tween the two points, the distance
being a mile and two-tenths. The
new one takes a straight cut across
and reduces the distance to consider
ably under a mile.
The material, as described by Com
missioners Baird and Clark, contains
enough gravel to make it unneces-
sary to haul gravel or rock for sur
facing
Other grading is being done a lit
tie beyond there and when all is
completed the west side road will
be in the best condition it ever has
been in.

BECAUSE THEY CARRY
MATCHES,SA METCALF

Because they carry matches, is the
reason given at the livestock meet
ing a week ago by Vernon Metcalf
for certain men of doubtful ccmpe-
tency having been recommended for
positions as government trappers.
This racy part of the story of the
debate on the subject of government
trapping versus the bounty system,
was overlooked in the write-up ap-
pearing last week, and several at
tendants have called the attention
of the White Pine News to it.
One of them said last night that
such was the gravest admission that
Mr.. Metcalf made, and he made "a
plenty. Mr.. NIetcalf related that
numerous men pretending to be
trappers, applying for government
employment as such, had failed to
make good Their employment had
been obtained upon Recommendation
OF certain stockmen. When these
stockrhen had been asked why they
recommended such men, the match
carrying reply was given, they fear
ing for the safety of their hay stacks
and they felt that they could not re-
fuse to recommend the match car
riers
1t is given as one of the reasons
for government trapping being dis
NAL failure.

NINETY MILES OF
LINCOLN HIGHWAY
READY THIS FALL

In round numbers, ninety miles
of the Lincoln highway between Ely
and Fallon will have been COM
pleted as first-class highway pro.
jects by the end OF the present fal!
season, by the same token elimi'
mating that much of the worst OF
the road.
The figures are given to the
White Pine News by Senator w. P.
Harrington of the state highway
department, who spent the fore part
of the week in Ely. They total
SS.6 miles, with probable addi-
ton of five miles at the west end.
The first is the Ely-Keystone pro-
ject, which is 4.6 miles. While this
will not be completed it will be so
nearly so that the most of ii
will be in use and it will insure
the completion as early in the
spring as grading may be done
Next will come the fourteen miles
from Keystone to the Robinson
summit, which is ready for the
graveling.
1t connects directly with the
twelve miles from the summit
across Jake's valley to Ilipah and
leaves out one summit. Previously
there have been two, the Robinson
summit at Kimberly and Jake's
summit a few miles beyond. The
new one is lower and the grade
easier, one OF easy passage during
average winters.
The next is to Little Pancake
twenty-three miles and fourteen
miles in the Eureka Hay ranch pro
ject.
That is the last work until the
Toiyabe range is reached at the
north end of Smoky valley east OF
Austin. Here there is project of
sixteen miles over the range and
bringing the road directly down the
canyon through Austin into the
Reese river valley.
The final project is south of

This week the work centers across

which forced sharp turn that every
auto driver passing by it NAV have

Thursday when representatives OF
the White Pine News were there 4
charge of $50 pounds Of powder was
set off by electricity. and it broke be-
tween seventy-fve and 100 tons OF
rock The heaviest and greatest
weight of the rock moved but slight
ly, but enough of the smaller pieces
fell into the roadway to bury it for
a depth of three feet, covering the
railway track as we'll and a large
amount fell still beyond. The mas
sive steel rails OF the railway track,
spiked down as they were, were
sprung and crowded over probably an
inch and half.
Some twenty autos werc blockaded
there for an hour. The first duty of
the men was to remove the debris
from the railway track and others
fell to work throwing that out from

the larger rocks, dragging them into

Ten year leases ON forest reserves
for livestock with forest service con-
troll of all public lands are two radi-
cal changes in the grazing laws OF
the west to be proposed by Secretary
Wallace.
This is reported from Elko through
Governor Scrugham. who stopped
there this week on his way from his
eastern journey, in which he inter-
viewed the secretary on this and
some other subjects.
It is generally supposed that the
agricultural department, which is a
law unto itself in forestry admins
tration, and that of the. ranges with
in the reserve borders, may proceed
with the ten-year leases without
sanction from congress, doing it by
promulgating regulations to that eff"
feet.
But the extension of the forest
ranger control of the valleys and all
public lands outside of the present
forests, is another matter and one
which could hardly be done in that
manner, as such lands are under the
jurisdiction of the interior depart
ment.
Mr. Scrugham suggested that fact
finding commission with Secretary
Hoover at its head be named to go
over this subject and lay the ground
work for a plan.
1t is generally thought too early to
White Pine news. [volume] (East Ely, Nev.) 1920-1923, 1923-11-04

This means just what it says, that
Governor Scrugham's appeal to Sec
retary Wallace for federal aid in the
paving of the Ely-McGill highway
has induced the secretary to ap
prove the project and the road ac-
cordingly will be paved.
When Mr.. Wallace says, This
matter will be taken up at once and
settled to your satisfaction, he
means that he has approved the pro-
ject for the work to be done.
This is personal letter-that is,
one dictated by him personally
written on stationery that he uses
for letters that he personally die
tates to a correspondent, and moi
from a subordinate.
Not only does it mean paved road
between the two chief cities in White
Pine county, Ii the commissioners
order it. the second largest trav-
eled road in Nevada, but that at least
s350,000. mostly outside money, will
be expended for labor and material
in this vicinity next summer, fur
nishing employment to hundreds and
bringing prosperous times while the
work is being done, the latter as a re-
suit of the better transportation pro-
vided.
What the exact cost of the paving
will be may only be guessed. 1t will
not be under $2b, 900 a mile, and it
may run over $4,000 This will de-
pend upon the type of paving Sc
lected.
Three years ago when the road
was about to be paved by the county
the estimated cost was $50, 900 a
mile. The cost of the Reno-Carson
paving was something over $4,000
mile, and that on the road between
Reno and Peavine, which is north
westerly from that city, the paving
reaching the state line, cost s25, ,o0C
for pavement fifteen feet wide, and
the material used was asphaltic con-
crete.
Thus for the fourteen miles to Nc
may be placed at s350,0OO, and II
more costly material is chosen tt will
go higher.
Under the federal aid law the gov
ernment pays s7ls per cent of the
cost up to 0,000 mile. Above
that sum there is no provision. This

WALLACE FAVORS TEN-yEAR LEASES
F0R sTOCKMEN IN FORESTRESERvES

expect the eastern mind to accedc to
a plan of permanent control of the
ranges by stockmen. The hope of
agricultural production therefrom
has never been given up. The east
ern idea is that all level land can be
farmed and that it will in some man
ner be induced to grow crops.
Without a solution of the irriga-
ton problem yet in sight, but still
with the hope that the future may
bring one, the ten-year lease plan is
being put forth For the purpose Of
administering the ranges for the bet
ter security of the stock interests for
that period. If at the end Of ten
years reclamation becomes a more ex
act science and water by some physi-
cal means or through some derivation
from the science of alchemy water
were made available, it would still
leave the lands within the reach Of
homesteaders who would be shut out
by a permanent leasing system or
anything resembling it.
One of the arguments put up in
favor of this change is that of giving
stock range bankable value. Be-
cause he has no title and nothing to
transfer a stockman today cannot
borrow with his range as security and
he can only sell the range to persons
who are willing to take chances upon
holding it by mere force of possess
sion.
