Of Nevada's Highland Empire, Heald writes that there are "alluring back-country roads to follow, tempting trout streams, good hunting, fine campsites, hiking and riding trails and dozens of high peaks to climb in the eastern portion of the state. "The U. S. Highway 50, crossing the center of the state from Fallon to Ely is one of the most exhilirating drives in the country," Heald reports.

In writing of the region around Las Vegas, he says that "the southern tip of Nevada is a land of paradoxes and contradictions and is colorful desert region of vast, shimmering distances, yet above it rise mountain ranges clothed with evergreen forests." He refers to Las Vegas as the "Gambling Capital of America," a "fabulous play-city where millions of dollars change hands annually over its gaming tables amidst a feverish 24-hour day carnival atmosphere." Speaking of Lake Tahoe, he quotes Mark Twain who once described it as the fairest picture earth can afford." The visitor, the author says, may view the lake from "many points and see the grand sweping panoramas and nowhere are the ever-changing colors of water, sky, forest and mountains more exquisitely combined and blended." Prominently featured in the September issue of "West ways" are many scenic sections of Nevada and nearby California communities. The Westways publication is advertised as a guide to the recreational and scenic areas of America's never-never land and the material was compiled and written by Weldon F. Heald. The September Issue features the theme, "motoring under the arc of the fabulous Southwest." The author devotes entire chapters to the Reno Region, the Amazing Triangle Around Las Vegas, California's Northland (which includes material about Lassen Volcanic National park), Calif ornia'3 Sierra-Nevada mountains and Nevada's Highland Empire: the Ely section and the Ruby mountains. One of the longest chapters in the magazine, the Reno Region, contains data concerning not only this city, but other nearby scenic areas in this region including Virginia City.

Pyramid lake, Sparks, Nixon, Washoe Valley, Bowers Mansion, Fort Churchill and the U. S. Naval Ammunition Depot at Hawthorne. Of Reno, the autl'or says: "It is, of course, Nevada's Big Town' manufacturing, commercial, social and cultural focal point for most of the state." He adds that it is the Divorce Capital of America granting as many as 11,000 decrees a year, but less publicized are the 30,000 marriage licenses issued annually. Heald describes, at length, the history of Reno and surrounding LAS VEGAS.

Seeking damages amounting to $172,000, John Dewit Maher, Los Angeles contractor, has filed civil suit in Clark county district court against hotelman Bel-don Katleman, El Ranchb, three special officers at Hotel El Rancho Vegas and one to five John Does, charging false imprisonment. James Down, foreman of the county grand jury, also reported that District Attorney Roger Foley had notified him that information concerning the case in which Maher accuses Katleman of keeping him imprisoned in a hotel room under armed guard will be offered to tba grand jury when it convenes next month. The civil action was filed in district court by George Franklin, attorney for Maher and his wife, Grace, who are in Los Angeles. They are said to have spent most of last week here discussing the case with the attorney. The complaint accuses Katleman of keeping Maher "under armed guard" and imprisoned at the hotel on August 6 from about noon until he was released shortly after midnight the next day.

Maher alleges that there was no complaint for his arrest at the time and no reason for keeping him imprisoned and that Katleman acted "wilfully and maliciously" in keeping him imprisoned. The three special officers named in the suit are Thomas Thompson.

Bugles rang out loudly, drums beat steadily, and tramping over the small sagebrush, kicking up small clouds of alkali dust, marched the seven foot companies of the Third Infantry, California Volunteers. was a strange sight for the few scattered Indians in this wide, empty country.

The travel weary soldiers of the famous Third trod over the rough desert in a formal dress mmm Maj. Patrick Gallagher, and the rest ot the column continued to Fort Douglas and established Headquarters of the. Utah Military District. Gallagher's command was soon reinforced by Cavalry Companies and which rode vigorously, to pacify the Indians. The Infantry units rode with the mail and wagon trains, and garrisoned stage stations and points along the route.

As the Civil War in the East rose parade, saViting their colors, passing in review, and going through all the time-honored and intricate formations. Their uniforms were dusty and stained with sweat, for the Third had been on the march across the mountains and Nevada since July 12. It had been ordered to protect the Overland Mail across Nevada, put down Indian trouble, and to establish forts at' Ruby Valley and Salt Lake City.

They reasoned that Cavalry could do an effective job on the savages, and that Infantry belonged in the battle line against the Confederates.

Officers and men alike pledged more than $30,000 from their meager wages to pay their transportation to the war front. Connor approved the move and urged it clear up through channels to the top, but the War Department was unmoved by this patriotic logic and held the Third in the West until the end. to become Fort Douglas. The Third proudly passed in review before Col. Patrick Edward Connor.

This wise commander had shrewdly timed the daily marches along the' 600 miles to provide variation, and to conserve the strength and morale of his men. A long march of 30 miles was followed the next day with a rest and a shorter hike. Four or five times during the long trip he held dress parades with all the dignity and formality the regiment could muster. The men responded with an enthusiasm LOOK KIDS!
