CATALOGUE
COMPLAINT
IT ARRIVES IN CARSON IN
LARGE QUANTITY
Show Prices to Merchants Be-
fore Sendjnu Awav

The old cOmplaint-that of catalO-
guests in this city again with a ven
geance. In the past week the town
has been loaded down with fall. and
winter catalogues from the coast and
eastern States. Everybody who re-
ceives mail in this city has received
a big package at the postoffice, and
they are carried home and the prices
consulted. The people who look over
these lists generally see something
that is needed in the household and
if the cash is handy an order goes to
the foreign house without the prelim-
mary of consulting the home mer-
chant.
One lady in this city mailed a doz-
en- requests for catalogues in ore day,
and in the course of a few weeks she
will be loaded down with material to
ponder over for week 1t the mer-
chants could but get the catalogue bu-
siness that is tranacted in this city,
they could open up shops that would
! lead the coast.
,, The worst feature of the catalogue
business Is the fact that they deal in
every article that is used in the home
They generally come from depart
ment stores, and the prices seem low
until compared with those of the home
l I'M.
towns in this State should take an ac-
tive part in doing away with the cata-
logue business and hey can do so by
personal requests to their patrons to
give them a chance to duplicate any
goods that are advertised at the same
cost, with the freight added, which
has to be paid by the customer in Ell
Their event.
The idea that thousands of dollars
go out of this city every year to help
support merchants in other cities is
ridiculous, and some measure should
betaken up to keep the trade at home
There is no blame attached to the en-
terprising firm that corrals the trade
on the outside, but the home merchant
should make an endeavor to see tina,
n Whenever catalogue customer
comes into the store see that the
goods are supplied at the same price
, and once the news is spread that as
good results can be had at home a:
abrad. the trade will remain here.

SERIOUS TROUBLE
Eugene Stanton Commits For.

Word was received in this city yes
terday that Eugene (Chippy) Stanton
had been found guilty of forgery be-
fore jury in Winnemucca. The case
had been pending some time
The case marks his secon,. offense
of the same nature, he having served
a term in the Sacramento, California
Jail for forgery. Scarcely had the
doors of that institution closed be-
hind him when he hied to this State
and commit Il like offense, that ct
forging mans signature to a check,
which he cashed in Golconda. He was
apprehended and next Monday, when
he appears for sentence, he VIII be
sent to the State prison at Carson,

This case marks the downfall of a
young man for whom success was
predicted by many friends. After
leaving the Orphans Home in this ci-
ty, where he was raised, he went to
the State University, and under ad-
verse circumstances worked his way
! through. He was intelligent and am.
bilious and made many friends among
the students: At that time no one
questioned his honesty. It was while
at the University that he received the
non de plume of "Chippy" Later he
took to drink and to bad booze he
can be attributed his down fall.

Died Of His Injuries

Engineer warner, who WIS fatally
injured in the collislo:. between t,,-
flyers at Tonka siding, near Carlir,
yesterday morning. died half an hour
after he arrived at Ogden. He was
taken 10 that city, winch was his
home. on the first train. He leaves a
wife and children.
Engineer Warner never 1csained
a mystery why he did not stop his
train, knowing that his orders were to
meet No. l at Tonka and especially af-
ter he had received the warning sig
nal from the conductor of his train.
The account of the collision publish
ed in yesterday'cs issue was inaccu-
rate in stating that No. l should have
! taken the siding. No. 2 should have
| side tracked and Engineer Warmers
/ failure to stop for this purpose places
! the whole responsibility for the acct
| dent with him.
No. 1 reached Tonka few moments
before the other train was due and was
waiting on the main line for No. 2 to
take the siding. No. passed the
switch almost at full speed-Engineer
! Warner had overlooked his orders
and the trains were together before
anyone realized the great mistake
| which had been made. He paid the
penalty of his error with his life.
| When passenger trains approach a
meeting point the conductor of the
one which is to take the siding sig
nails the engineer by pulling the bell
cord, which sounds an alarm bell in
the cab. The negineer answers by
two quick blasts of the whistle. Con
ductor Harrington of No. 2 gave the
signal when the train passed the whis
Ting post for Tonka siding. There
was no answer He Immediately re
peated the alarm, but no answer came

Conductor Harrington, who was in the
buffet car, sprang to the lever and ap
piled the emergency, which is sup
| posed to stop train In It's own iens,nH
But he was too late and the crasf

any way for Engineer Warner over

HAVING.
TROUBLE
S P CONTRACTORS FIND
lABORERS SCARCE
indians Give Good Satisfaction
in Railroad Work

S. D. and w. H. Fitzpatrick have
gone west to inspect the great i'm
provement work that is being done
along the line of the Southern Paci.
ic by the firm of Fitzpatrick Bros. &
Collins, says the Ogden Standard
They state that all their contracts. are
being pushed as fast as possible and
that number of the smaller con-
tracts are being finished from week
to week.
The greatest trouble they have had
with their work is in their inability
to secure a large number of men who
will stay with the work until it is fin
ished The average white railroad Ia
borer belongs to the lowest class of
the genus hobo, and it is very difficult
for the contractors to persuade them
to stay with the work for a month
Most of the sub-contractors have made
a sliding scale in the employment of
the laborers, and by this means are
able to keep more of them for per-
iod of month than formerly. They
pay $1.75 when the men quit before
the month is up and 81 per day when
they work the month out.
There are all races as we'll as class
es OF men Represented in the various
railroad camps along the line. The
negroes are in the great minority
Outside of the white hobo the great
est trouble is experienced with the
Italians, These, as a general thing
hire to the contractors through ar
Italian middleman-a sort of employ
ment agency. These middlemen worl
exclusively with certain contractors
and they draw commission boil
from the contractor and the laborer
AS a result they have formed a com
bine and concocted a scheme, for mo
ney getting that is cause of grea
embarrassment to the contractors. On'
of the middlemen will get position
for gang Of his compatriots and the.
will work about two weeks, when b.

who works on one OF the other roads
ard the latter appears, arouses dis
satisfaction among the labOrers b,
stories of more pay and the entir'
gang quits and goes with him to III
new job Thus the middleinen ar
reaping a fair income without mucl
hard work.
The same trouble is experienced wit
the Greeks and Austrians. There
one class of laborers that have give
great satisfaction. These are the P
ma and Papagos Indians. 500 OF who1
are working out on the Southern +;
