April 9, 1919: The road between Elko and Tuscarora is opening up fast for auto travel and soon the reliable horses will be turned out to summer pasture while their places will be taken by the speedy motor Dividing a mutual HEBRON, Occupied West Bank (AP) It did not take long for the new wall separating Arab from Jew to become a mutual forum for hatred in this city still smoldering from the mosque massacre. "Death to the Arabs," reads a slogan in Hebrew sprayed on the 6-foot-high wall slicing through the heart of the old city.

"Let's turn Hebron into a Jewish city," reads another signed by the outlawed Jewish extremist group Kach. "Blood for blood," counters nearby graffiti signed by the Muslim militant group Hamas. It praised Wednes day's bloody car bomb attack that killed eight Israelis as "the beginning of the revenge of the Hebron mosque massacre." The army put up the wall made of concrete slabs two weeks ago to help protect two Jewish enclaves housing some of the 450 Jewish settlers who live in the middle of Hebron's 80,000 Palestinians. Settler Baruch Goldstein, a Kach member, gunned down 30 Palestinians as they prayed Feb. 25.

There have been accusations Goldstein was not alone. "Coexistence between Jews and Muslims was prosperous under the Turkish rule, but it is now impossible, even with a peace agreement between Israel and the PLO," said Mustafa Natche, the Palestinian mayor newly appointed by Israeli-PLO consensus. "The settlers are extremists and oppose the peace agreement." Under the agreement, signed Dec. 13 in Washington, the PLO and Israel have been negotiating the terms of Palestinian self-rule in some of the Reno Air went through a management shuffle late last month, when President and Chief, Executive Officer Jeff Erickson resigned to take a similar post at Trans World Airlines. Erickson's resignation came the same day the company reported 1993 net operating loses of $7.3 million.

Meanwhile, Continental Airlines has announced it will cease service to Reno Cannon International Airport on May 31. The move comes as the airline is trying to restructure itself into a no-frills service. For the past few years the airline has maintained limited ties here, offering two round-trip daily flights between Reno and Denver. The airline pulled out of Sacramento, San Jose and other West Coast markets in December. Airport officials said they will look for other' airlines to fill the void left by Continental's departure.

"Right now we don't know which ones and whether the sen-ice would be specific to Denver or some other point," said Airport Director Robert White. "We haven't had any indication from any other airline that they would replace the service." Continental is the second airline this year to halt service to Reno. USAir halted its Reno flights in January. New officer, more flights announced bv Reno Air Israeli-occupied territories, though not in Hebron. The 330-foot-long wall, and army roadblocks ringing the Jewish compounds, cut downtown Hebron in half and force Palestinians to detour for several miles just to go from the northern to southern parts of the city.

The army has closed 750 shops in the area as well as the central vegetable market, which did $35,000 a day in business before the massacre. Farmers now sell their produce from trucks driven through Hebron neighborhoods. Mohammed Hourani, leader of the PLO's mainstream Fatah faction in Hebron, said the restrictions were oppressive and further undermined the standing of Fatah and other groups backing negotiations with Israel. "We want genuine changes on the ground, among them the evacuation of the settlers from the heart of the town. Only this will bring life back to normal," he said.

His chief rival in the town, Hamas leader Dr. Adnan Maswadeh, concurred. "The wall with its slogans clearly expresses the settlers' wishful thinking in transferring the Arabs out of the town or killing them," he said. Hamas opposes the peace accord. Under an Israel-PLO arrangement, April 9, 1969: Lynda Demaline, Elko's Centennial Sweetheart and members of a specially organized chorus, will add to the festivities planned Saturday night during the Elko County Birthday Ball.

The Ball, sponsored annually by the Northeastern Nevada Historical Society, is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. at the Commercial Hotel. A program featuring Jack Hull as Mark Twain, Miss Demaline and the Centennial Chorus will begin at 9 p.m. Members of the chorus are Frank Weinrauch, Mark Chilton, Tom Hood, Byron Hogge, Jerry Warren, Hugh Collett, George Morley and Sam McMullen. Lajia Lyon will accompany the group.

Ticket sales are being handled by society members Mary Harper and Marge Polkinghorn. April 12, 1969: Nevada's Northeast Frontier a history by Edna Patterson, Louise Ulph and Victor Goodwin, is scheduled for publication on May 30, according to a recent announcement. Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Ulph both are residents of Lamoille; and Goodwin is a former Elkoan now living in Carson City.

Janet Petersen, Museum Registrar 160 observers from Norway, Denmark and Italy will soon come to Hebron to help defuse the tension. But the foreigners will have pistols only for self-defense and have no right to break up hostilities.

The will report violations to an Israeli-PLO committee. "The Palestinian leaders have lost their credibility because they did not succeed in removing the settlers out of the city," said Jihad Shabaneh, who lost his job as an accountant at the vegetable market because of the closure. Hebron residents Wednesday eagerly followed reports of the attack in the Israeli town of Afula in which a Hamas activist set off a car bomb near a bus stop, killing seven Jews and an Arab. On Thursday, a Palestinian opened fire at a bus stop in southern Israel killing one Israeli and wounding four. In other attacks, two Israelis were stabbed and slightly wounded by Arabs at entrances to the Gaza Strip.

The PLO issued a statement late Thursday expressing its sorrow over the attacks, but Washington called on the PLO to more explicitly condemn them. In response to the attacks, the Israeli army Thursday barred 1.8 million Palestinians from Israel for a week in one of the strictest orders ever imposed on Palestinians. Henson said his departure had nothing to do with environmentalists it was to take advantage of retirement incentives offered to Forest Service employees. "It was purely my own choice," he said. "It was the right time, and I couldn't resist the bonus buyout" The Forest Service on April 1 offered up to $25,000 plus pension to employees who were eligible for retirement or early retirement Agency spokeswoman Pamela Finney said more than 1,000 Forest Service employees have taken advantage of it so far.

The news release quoted Henson as saying he enjoyed his time heading the 11 national forests in New Mexico and Arizona and called the Southwest "a unique, beautiful part of the country." Jim Norton of the Wilderness Society said he was optimistic a new regional forester would ease tensions with environmentalists. "3ft Regular Meeting 1 1 :00 aim.

DO YOU KNOW YOUR BLOOD TYPE? Regional forest service director Henson retires The Elko SnoGoers SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) Larry Henson, southwest regional director of the U.S. Forest Service, says he has retired under an incentive program offered to agency employees. In a December letter to Forest Service chief Jack Ward Thomas, environmentalists had leveled assorted charges against Henson, including that he had suppressed research documenting negative effects of Southwest logging on the northern goshawk. They demanded that Thomas remove Henson as too pro-timber.

But an announcement issued by Thomas on Thursday in Washington, D.C., said Henson's departure after two years heading the Southwest Region was amicable, and it made no mention of environmentalists' demands. Thomas praised Henson as "a man who devoted 35 years to resource conservation."
