Evening Republican, Volume 20, Number 141, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 June 1916 — TRAVEL MADE SAFE. [ARTICLE]

TRAVEL MADE SAFE.

The terrors of the desert will have no fears for the transcontinental tourist making the trip by auto over the Lincoln highway. It is planned to run a double copper telephone wire along the Lincoln highway from Salt Lake City to Ely, and thence to Reno. Cut-in stations will be established one mile apart along the way, and by means of these stations no traveler could ever become stranded at a greater distance than a half mil® from a telephone station from which he could call for relief. A traveler will be able to procure an Instrument at either end of this route by paying a small deposit on it, just sufficient to Insure its return in proper condition when he reaches the statfam at the other end of his journey.
