NEVXHh< N e v daS,
those lofty mountains which sep
arate the State from California.
Most Of the history Of the state
centers in this Western section,
near the Sierras, and 1t is here
that all of Nevada's principal
cities are located.
The first white man to cross
the present state was the Fran
ciscan Monk, Father Cares, VINO
made his way across the deserts
to California in 1875. In 1879
Peter S. Ogden of the Hudsons
Bay company discovered the
Humboldt river, which Is some
times called Ogden river after
him.
The next memorable trip
across the state was that by
Fremont in 1843, when he went
to California at the time of the
outbreak of the Mexican war.
1t was this war which In 184S
resulted in Mexico ceding large
area TO the United States, OF
which Nevada was part. When
this was organized into terri
; tories, the Territory of Utah ex-
!: tended to California. The West
I: ern inhabitants, however, were
!! left to their own resources and
:: accordingly organized their own
! government. Resenting the at.
titude of Utah they petitioned
!; to be annexed to California.
] In 1859 the Comstock Lode
+: was discovered and Nevada had
its own mining boom. Popula-
; tion Immediately grew by leaps
and bounds and in 1861 Nevada
was formed into separate ter
ritory. Later, portions of Utah
!! were added and the lower part
! of the state was taken from Ari-
I. zona. Petitions for statehood
/. were made but it was not until
1864 that Nevada became the
I thirty-sixth state Of the Union.

Is nothing there to suck it up like

The air in the voids also doubt
less helps to obstruet the water
movement. In winter when soil
freezes these voids allow room for
expansion, thus preventing heaving

the best kind of a flexible, yet dur
able base. This small degree of
fiexibility is necessary to permit the
base to adjust itself to the move
ment of expansion and contraction
caused by heat, cold and moisture
These newly discovered reasons
for the use of coarse base material
should interest the taxpayer because
they mean that local material can
be used at a saving in cost
Under certain conditions pave
ments are contracted and expanded
by cold and heat. Rigid pavement
slabs, unlike steel for instance, can
not Withstand such expansion and
contraction without cracking
Heat of the sun during the day
will cause the top of pavement
surface to expand while the cool of
the earth on the bottom side pre-
vents expansion. This causes the
pavement 10 warp, sometimes en-
tirely lifting away from the sub
soil in the center and pressing down
on it tightly at each edge. At
night this is reversed The cool
night air allows the top aof the slab
to contract while the heat stored in
the earth during the day causes the
under side to expand. This often
lifts the edges from the soil and
leaves only the center supported
Heavy loads in the center of the
slab during the day and on the
edges at night, where such condi-
tions exist, may easily crack the
slab.
Because of these destructive
movements, the rigid type of pave
ment is losing popularity among
many highway engineers. The rigid
slab cannot adjust itself to these
movements and is ultimately ruin
ed The need today is for a pave
ment surface made up of hard,
together with some bituminous ma
terial so as to provide f1exibility or
"come and 60" This gives a hard
! tough surface that will resist wear,
tear and impact and at the same
time provides surface sufficiently
| flexible to move up and down with
| the sub-soil's heaving, and expand
and contract under temperature
changes, al without cracking.
I These are few OF the basic
/ principles that the Iaynlan nCac
understand and study further, If
! he is to intelligently select a pave
ment type, and spend his taxes eco
nomically. Economy in buying
shoes or a suit of clothes takes in
to consideration wearing qualities
and length of life Too many lay
men forget this when buying pave
ments and consider the first cost
/ alone. II is the cost over the life
of the pavement-money spent in
maintenance-that mounts up. The
cheapest pavement in the beginning
is usually the most expensive in the
end.-W. p. Blair, member of Fed

 The results Of ihe inquiry, which has embraced sugar production cons dilions in Cuba and elsewhere. were not announced, although lt had been indicated that majority and minority reports were contemplated by the commissioners. who had been split he' tween contentious that the duties should be lowered. or left as they are --l.Td cents a pound on Cuban and .e0 cents on other sugar imports.
 Tho investigation was started at the direction of President Harding in March. 1928. and has been marked by a long and bitter struggle within the commission and between interests having opposing views on the rates. During the struggle the right of Com missioner Classic, democratic mem her, to sit in the case was challenged because of his wife's interest in sugar mills in Louisiana. This was not set tied until congress prohibited payment of salaries to commissioners partici- pating in discussions affecting commo- diiics in winch they were directly or indirectly interested.

Classics retirement from the case, on the basis Of previous disclos- nres. apparently left Vice-Chairman Culbertson and Commissioners Costi- gan and Lewis in the majority favor ing reductions in the schedule, and Chairman Marvin and Commissioner Burgos In the minority contending for retention of the present duties.

 He expressed hope that the govern rent of northern Ireland might yet see its way clear to appoint repre- sentative of tho boundary commission, but if 1t did not the legislation would be proceeded with.
 Not merely the honor of the gov ernment but the honor of this co'in- try Is involved In seeing that the ob- ligation definitely imposed upon the United Kingdom by the treaty Is full fined in spirit and letter." he declared. My colleagues and myself are not prepared to omit any step which in their view is necessary to place the good faith of parliament and the peo- pie beyond question"
 He hoped there would be no pas sion or feeling in the discussion. He was sure, however, that the suggested legislation would be hotly contested and that the long controversy could not be settled smoothly.
