He appeared before the committee on

tender recollectiops and the pleasant
"reminiscences. He referred to bis own
generosity In always being willing to

more susceptible members OF the COM

"And, Mr.. Chairman" concluded
Mr.. Allen, II an about TO retire from

THE FREIGHT CiNCH.

The community Of INTEREST," pol
icy is now being understood on the
Pacific Coast Eastern trunk lines
announce an increase in freight rates
from the Atlantic seaboart on all
classes of freight to the Pacific Coast
of from cent to II cents.
The action is in the nature of ad-
vanced differentia1s and is taken in
the belief that from: this time on there
is not the same necessity for low rate
competition there was prior to the
first of the year. A prominent rail-
road official in commenting on the ad-
vance said
In the West the community of in
terest plan has been applied to GER
tain roads, but it is not nearly so
binding nor does it extend so far as
among the roads in the East In the
latter territory the Morgan, Rockefel-
Ter ard Hill interests have formed a
solid front and from this time on We
may expect to look for advances il
freight rates where it is possible.,
This advance Of rate does not alone
apply to Nevada, but all the State:
through whicu the transcontinenta
lines pass.
The Lovelock Tribune is disposed
to think the freight sdvance is to ap
ply only to States where the authori
ties insist on collecting taxes author
lied by law. The Tribune must dis
abuse its mind OF the idea that an
State can secure lower fret ghts b
illegal leniency in the matter of taxes
The roads are making more none
than ever in their history and ar
we'll better able to pay their take
than ever.

TRANSMISSISSIPPi
CONGRESS.

The twelfth annual session Of the
Transmississippi Commercial Con-
gress will be held at Cripple Creek.
Col, i'll July. This body was called
into being by the necessity for secur
ing legislation for the great region
west Of the Mississippi. This legis-
lation WAS special in its nature in
some respects and the conditions call
ing for it were not understood and APP
preciated by Congress, composed so
largely of men Of no knowledge Of
Western needs and conditions. Oar
great mining, agricultural and graz
ing interests were little understood
and their i'm portance and what was
necessary for their welfare we've not
appreciated.
The creation Of a Department OF
Mines, with it's head member of thu
Cabinet, is one of the subjects that
will be discussed at the coming meet
ing of the Congress.
Another mattsr that will be acted
upon is the strong movement for the
adoption by the Government of a Sys-
tenn of storage reservoirs, for the pur-
pose of preventing floods and provid-
ing water for irrig alton. A PROPOSE,
ton to merge into one organization
this body, the National Irrigation
Convention and the international
Mining Congress, will also be dis
cussed. with the purpose of strength
ing and unifying all the efforts being
made to promote the interests Of the
great Western region.
