too much poison.  Some using studded stations -

its promiscuous in certain places.  Discussed 
these matters with Sans. Grundy & McTimminds & Mattice seemed the worst offenders in 1930-31

Left Reno 600 AM arr Ely 845 PM after a most interesting ride.  We crossed several desert
mountain ranges with fine floral displays of [[underlined]] Phlox rigida [[/underlined]], a yellow & also a pink annual Mimmulus, Onethorea pallida and a tall
Onethora - annual with cluster of white flowers at
end of 1 foot stalk, several yellow or white annual
crucifer - a tiny Penstemon Glaber not over four inches high & sometimes absolutely
decumbent. A thing like a 4'clock, several Eriogonums new to me, a scarlet Mallow
that is a beauty & a most astounding red paint brush 4-8 inches high that looked 
like balls of scarlet fire in the land scape.
  At Austin we met Cap. Ed. Marvel President Nevada Land and Livestock Assn who was outspoken & apparently very sincere in his praise of Sans and his men. Met Doug Tandy of Austin, speaker of last Nevada Assembly.
 Saw many birds + never saw deserts look so green and inviting. Crossed Tyobia Range just out of Austin
