Grading and Crawling Near
ly Finished.-Work started
on OVerpass at Suotr.

That the grading and surfacing
of the sixteen miles of new high
way south of town would be COM
pleted and opened to traffic on
July l was announced by c. G.
Boyer today. The gravel used is
considerably smaller than that
used to surface the first IA miles
of the road and is expected to
pack better. On the first thirteen
miles OF the Las Vegas to Los
Angeles highway the maximum
size of rock used was one and a

starts fourteen miles from town
and continues for sixteen miles is
surfaced with rock the biggest OF
which is one inch in diameter.
A crushing plant which was built
recently has speeded the work
considerably.
Work on the overpass at Sutor

pouring of concrete is under way.

American Legion To Stage
Fast Fights Next Thursday
Night. Thomas Backers
Looking for Wallace
Money.

What should prove to be one OF
the best fight cards ever put on
10y the American Legion in this
city is scheduled for next Thurs
dav evening at the Legion fight
arena. It will be the last of the
fights to be staged this summer
and the boys are going to put il
over big.
The main event will present
Dutch Eastes and frankie Gernts
in ten rounds of battling. Easter
is a favorite in Las Vegas, having
won most of his fights in the 10
cal arena. He has been taking
on intensive training in Los An
geles for the past few weeks and
has never been in better shape.
On the other hand we have
frankie Gernts an ambitious fight
er who has won his last three
fights with knock-outs. Gernts
hates to spo1 his record and ex
pects to add Casters scalp to his
collection.
Johnny McManus and Georgie
Anion will fill the bill for the
semi final. Johnny McManus halls
from Tonopah where he is looked
on as one of the city's best, and
Tonopah has turned out some fast
and certain fighters.
Anon is from Mcfarland
stable in Los Angeles and is term
ed by those who know him as a
flashy Filipino. Those of the fight
followers who have seen any
fIashy Filipinos during their stuff
know that there will be plenty OF
action in the ring Thursday even
ing.
The special event scheduled will
be a great drawing card Mickey
Wallace of Las eVgas and Jimmy
Thomas will entertain the crowd
while they settle what is termed
by some as a grudge.
Mickey needs no introduction to
the fight fans of Las Vegas. He
is known to be the sort who goes
into the ring to whip his opponent
and doesn't dilly-daNy around the
canvas for the first nine rounds
While he has taken on a cOupE
of men who haYe been too high
class for him he piobably has
learned more of the game by do
Ing it.
Jimmy Thomas is confident of
putting Mickey away. Both of the
men have beaten and been beaten
by the same fighters, witch goes
to prove that they are evenly
matched. Another thing is that
Thomas hackers are looking
around for Wallace money.
The story of the grudge is news
to Thomas, and has made the man

INSANITY CASE
IS NOT PROVEN
Chas. E. Harris, Arrested on
Charge Sworn To by Wife,
RIeased for Further OBJ
serVation.

Chas. E. Harris, 50, of West
Side. was taken before County
Clerk VIM. l.. Scott in the District
Court yesterday morning and ex-
amined as to his mental condi-
ton.
He was taken into custody
Thursday evening on a warrant
sworn to by his wife. Mrs Harris
came to the sheriff and told her
story a1d swore to the warrant.
When Sheriff Sam Gay and
Deputy McCubrey went to the
Harris home, Harris mad retired
but got up, dressed and locked
the house and went with the ofli-
r,1s and was apparently in A
rCrmal state of mind. He was
placed in Jail until the hearing
Friday morning.
At the hearing Mrs. Harris testi-
fled that she had known her hus
band for about nine years and
that they had been married fo-
four years. She had not noticed
any peculiar action until about six
months ago, shortly after her hus-
bands father died in the Black
foot Asylum for the insane. About
the same time his sister became
respondent and committed suicide.
Mr.. Harris was not in very
good health, she said, and during
the past months had made several
threats at her. He had spells
when he was in great pain and
would sit around and brood over
his troubles. The climax came
Thursday evening when, after
brOoding all day he acted more
peculiar than ever. Mrs. Harris
testified that while she was curl
ing her hair he approached her
and threatened her because she
spent so much time cJsrlirss her
hair. He told her she had just
finished it a few minutes before
and now she was starting again.
She asked him to go pull the plug
out of the wall and when he turn
ed his back she escaped and came
to town.
Mr.. Harris took the stand and
said that he was fully aware of
what was going on and agreed to
be sworn. He stated that he suf-
fered greatly from rheumatism
and was often in great pain but
that he was sure that his mind
was all right.
After a few questions by Drs.
HewetsOn and Bulette, Harris was
discharged so that further obser-
vation could be made.

MRS, MINNIE KENNEDY, MOTHER IF EVANGELIST
 VISITOR IN SEWARD

The general prevailing impression regarding Mrs Minnie Kennedy, mother of Mrs. Aimee Semple McPherson, evangelist of the Ange- Illus Temple, Los Angeles, rather pie Itured her as baxom, severe woman. But today Sewardites have had the Opportunity of meeting the lady in person and all are unanimous in say ling "she is lovely, charming woman, so different from the impress Isions gained following reading so much about her and her daughter for the last year or so."
 Not only many people in Seward but passengers on the s. s. Aleutian, shipmates of hers, voice similar phrases. Far from being in the fore ground on the voyage North, Mrs. Kennedy was always unobstrusive, quite, in fact, just fine lady with wonderful personality.
 About Seward Mrs. Kennedy states she now wishes she had made ar arrangements here for good visit but her itinerary calls for returning to Seattle onl the same steamer the

Center-Road Hog Menace
to Traffic on HIGHWAYS

One of the greatest menaces to
traffic on the streets, the boulevards
and even on the country highways is
the slow driver cruising down the
center of the thoroughfare. That this
Is the case is attested by hundreds of
letters to the American Automobile
association.
"The rules of the road" require all
slow-moving traffic-whether passenger
automobile, truck or bus-tO keep to
the right near the curb. This rule is
violated every day, and all the time.
Everywhere may be found the slow
traveller, creeping down the middle of
the driveway, blocking traffic and
actually endangering the lives of
others.
Cant you do anything about the
man who has the middle of the road
complex" is the complaint of so
many letters reaching us that it looks
as If the road hog will never learn.

Liberal Use of Potato
Seed a Good Investment

The Importance of using liberal
quantity of seed potatoes Is not gen
erally recognized by commercial pc
tato growers. The recent accomplish
ment of a firm of California potato
growers in producing 1888 bushels
of potatoes on a measured acre anc
an average yield of 1,001 on nine acres
would not have been possible If only
the usual quantity of seed had beer
planted. These growers consider th'
liberal use of seed a good investment
In the production of their phenomena
yield seed potatoes were planted a.
the rate of 40 bushels per acre o!
more than twice the quantity used by
our most progressive potato growers
Experimental results indicate there
is close correlation between the
quantity Of seed used and the yield
per acre. Planting largesize sets in
sures a better termination and larg
er set of tubers, therefore 1t Is a
desirable practice provided the re
sultant plants have an abundant sup
ply Of plant food and moisture. Large
size sets mean more stems and tubers
per set, consequently more nourish
ment Is needed to develop these tubers
to market size.
United States Department of Agri.
culture Bulletin 124S-D discusses size
OF potato sets and also compares the
relative value of whole and cut seed
It should prove valuable to potato
growers interested in the production
of maximum yields. Copies may be
obtained, as long as the supply lasts,
by writing the department at Wash
