in another column. While he has no
opposition In the primary Mr.. Moody
is in the race to win at the general
election
Lester Moody is one of the best
known young members of the Demo

toward upbuilding n farm on this
project, which is probably his best

Lincoln Highway Plans
Remain Unaltered
q. ). Hoae Denies Alterations; Will Fight
For Utah Rights; Other
Plans Discussed

G.. 5. Hoag, field secretary of the
Lincoln Highway Association, who is
on a coast-to-coast tour, arrived in
this city last Saturday and at once
took up Lincoln highway matters
with |. H. Kent and others interest
ed in the finishing of this nationa.
road across the continent.
Mr.. Hoag discussed the recent arti-
cles that have gone the rounds OF
the press to the effect that the Lin
coin highway was to take up and
complete a route through from Ely
to Los Angeles. In fact press story
published in Tonopah and generally
used over the state was to the effec,
that on this visit that Mr.. Hoag
would make definite plans for this
highway movement. In discussing
this feature Mr.. Hoag stated
II don't know where the report
started and was entirely surprised to
see the press clippings quoting me
as the authority for the statement
that the Lincoln Highway Assoeia-
ton intended to divert its travel over
new route.
II did telegraph Mr. Boak to meet
me in Ely or that l would meet him
to talk over road plans, but did not
leave the impression that the Lincoln
highway would abandon its west
ward routings and this is what the
article would indicate.
You can put it down in black and
white that the Lincoln Highway As
sociation intends to keep this figh,
going until we win a way through
Utah and are treated fair. That is
what We have asked all along. The
association has every right to ask
Utah to assist and it is anticipated
that this matter will finally be ad.
justed and the Lincoln highway viii
be treated as it should have several
years ago.
As for abandoning the routings
and highways west 1t can be said thai
there is no such intention, in fact
this trip west is to look over details
to get better line on what is neces
sary and to see how far the none,

the association has furnished has
gone.
Nevada has already benefited
coin Highway Association and the
contributors to the funds that put
out their money are not of the quit
ter kind"
When asked concerning the Fal
lon-Carson highway, which the asso
citation has had in consideration, Mr..
Hoag stated that before this or any
other Nevada road that Is embraced
on the Lincoln highway would be
furnished with more funds that the
Utah matter must be settled. This
was the disposition of the eontribut--
ors and while Nevada suffers from
the action of Utah the matter re-
mains as 1t is until there is a way
out.
In reference to the Wendover cut
off Mr.. Hoag is of the opinion that
those who have insisted on this route
and its finishing will meet with dis
appointment as there Is every indi-
cation that it will not only be a very
expensive piece of work but will keep
a crew of men and long purse con-
stantly on the job to keep 1t from
watery grave.
Mr.. Hoag left for the coast late
Saturday and stated that he would
return later in the season and hoped
to be able to take up more definite
action on several Of the road build
ing plans that are in view. He did
state that as he has made the trip
across tho continent this year as
has been the custom for many
years, that he can say that the
Lincoln highway constantly grows.
that better roads are found In each
state, that travelling by auto Is be-
coming a pleasure and not hard
ship and that he anticipates tha.
within another few years that the
/ cross-state road will be finished.
Mr.. Hoag has been crossing the
continent twice each year since hs
became field secretary and his work
on the definite policy of the Lincoln
Highway Association can be taken
for full worth.

Says Delegate
LII. Kent Tells of Con
vetion and Trip To
New York

|. H. Kent, the Churchill delegate
to the national Democratic conven-
ton, and grandson Kent Wallace
who accompanied him throughout
the trip, returned to this city Friday
The trip, aside from the conven-
ton, was one over the eastern sec
ton of America and wound up by h
fow days spent In the northwest Mr.
Kent states that the northwest Is
booming and that there is no ques
lion but that Portland, Seattle and
Vancouver will give San Francisco a
business battle from this time on, as
between ship service and the i'm
proved rail outlets that it is a sec-
ton of wonderful possibilities and
business future.
In speaking of the Democratic
convention Mr.. Kent states that Ii
was a wonderful experience and ev-
cry delegate came home satisfied.
New York" said Mr.. Kent, "simp-
ly was wide open in its treatment of
delegates. There was never in the
history of public gathering such uni
yersal hospitality. Nothing was too
good for us and the New Workers
saw that we got It. Shows, enter
tainments, banquets, trips and sight

II was a most wonderful experience
and one that viii probably never
occur again, as II is not likely that
any convention will command the
time that this one did.
"As for Mr.. Davis. he is the big
gest man that was named and as a
consequence finally won the nominal
tion. | believe that he will be elect
ed. In fact this is the belief In the
east and the north. When his record
is compared with that OF Mr. Cool
idge. his achievements listed, the
Democratic nominee Is the outstand-
ing figure.
''He is not only great statesman
but he is also a diplomat, and with II
all the greatest lawyer in America.
as he has been picked by the greatest
business houses to handle their af-
fairs. Not only that but he has acted
as attorney for labor, which shows
his diversific1tion ans appreciation
Following his nomination 1t is
generally noted that the eyes of the
business world have turend toward
Mr.. Davis and you will note that as
the campaign progresses he Will come
more into general favor, as his qauli-
ties are wearing and that is the kind
of man that the people have been
demanding. When all of the facts
are considered I believe that II can
be asserted that his nomination
means his election.
Every member of the Nevada
delegation comes home as / do with
the feeling that the biggest man In
the convention was the Democratic
choice. The Nevaad delegation. while
II was small, was certainly heard
from and they were counted In on
every movement. Aside from select
ing the man who will in my belief
be the next president, the trip and
the experience was the greatest In
my experience.

FALLoN WATER Is GOOD
SAYS STATE LABORATORY

Last week, following inquiry re.
gardlng the condition of the city
water, DR.. Ferrell, county health of
ficer, advised boiling all drinking
water pending an analysis at the
state university laboratory. This was
done as a precautionary method, and
it can still be used and will undoubt
edly render the water more palat
able.
or the five samples sent to the
university they all show good re
turns. None of the samples were
condemned, in fact the report was
most favorable. and shows the wate.
TO be of healthy condition.
Some complaint has been made re
garding the odor of the summer wat
er. DR.. Ferrell is of the opinion thai
this comes from sulphur, which is
often found In the wells over this
valley. 1t is in no way Injurious and
by boiling this odor Is evaporated
The small amount of sediment un
doubtedly comes from the slight
amount of silts that are pumped
through the mains.
DR.. Ferrell states that samples oil
water will be taken often during this
late sum ner and fall. as while sam.
pies today may show nothing of an
injurious character yet within a few
days or weeks there may be a de-
cided change. especially under the
seasons conditions as they exist over
the water table in this valley.
No diseases have been traceable to
city water and very few In the coun-
try, so states the doctor. and with
ordinary precautions this city and
section should continue to enjoy iti
present good health.

Some Fine Rock
During the week work on the

some excellent rock. Paintings and

There is still talk of bringing in
water, which would stimulate the

is the general impression that as
soon as a consolidation is perfected
that the Zumwalt people will make
plans for water and possibly milling
facilities for the camp.

Tahoe Pumps
In Operation
Fernley, Bench Should
Have Water This
Week

The starting of the reclamation
project pumps at Tahoe City has ma
terially increased the flow of water
in the Truckee river bed and some
water should be at Fernley and the
bench section by today. The second
unit, which was started Saturday is
pumping approximately the same
quantity of water as the pumps In
stalled by the Truckee river water
users. The two sets of pumps were
discharging 220 second feet of water
Monday with no likelihood of any in
crease. as the pumps we're lifting to
their capacity.
Reports from Reno indicate that
the flow from the combined pumps
had reached that section and should
be at Derby by Tuesday. The slow
movement OF the water is accounted
for by the dry condition of the river
led and sand bars. From now until
jumping ceases 1t is anticipated that
there will be some water at the bench
md Fernley sections.
The discharge from Donner lake.
which gave a little relief at the Fern
lev section. has about quit, as that
supply has been exhausted. The Don
ner lake water undoubtedly saved
many of the cantaloupes at the Fern
ley section as a partial wetting is
reported from this source and melons
are now being shipped from that sec
ton The Tahoe water should carry
he season through.

Quite a number of the Fernley
farmers have visited the river dams
and agree that they have. been made
pretty tight affairs. The agreement

German inventor Gets 10000
Orders in Week for
Midget Radio

BERLIN, May 2s.-The newest
thing in wireless is a midget radio
set retailing for $1.75, which makes
every man his own antenna when
he is carrying the outfit in his
pocket. The antenna is located in
the mans hat with a wire leading
to the other parts Of the apparatus.
Otto Maresch, the German in.
ventor of the set, claims that ~
use OF it it is possible for persons
to walk along city streets and, with
receivers adjusted to their ears,
hear concerts, news and other radio
programs which are being broad.
cast.
One company which started
manufacturing the midget set re-
ceived 10000 orders the first week.
The demand for them Is so great
that other concerns are also max.
ing them by the thousands. Herr
Maresch says that it is quite likely
that within few months it win be
possible to manufacture a complete
radio set even smaller than the
midget one, which will retail for 81.
and possibly less.
