THE Law

Senator Newlands on his return to
Reno was interviewed by the Journal
on matters pertaining to the State. In
regard to the Truckee- Carson irriga.
ton project the Senator said:
st has been very gratifying tina. Ne
vada is the first beneficiary Of the ir-
rigation act. The contracts let amount
TO about a million dollars, and the work
il being pushed with great thoroughncss
and energy. 1 hope hat before long
similar work will be inaugurated upon
the Humboldt and Walker and upper
Careon rivers. ] wish to say that l am
and director OF the geological survey
and by MIR. Taylor. who is in charge OF
the Nevada work, that these irrige ton
enterprises will be conducted on bus
iness principles, absolutely divorced
from politics, and I nave no doubt that
this assurance will be carried out to tine
letter. 1t is the only safe course To pur-
sue for il the irrigation work becomes a
political machine, yielding to the in
huence OF Senator this or Congressman
that, it will speedily break down and
wreck the reputation Of everyone CON-
nected with it. desire to make this
public statement regarding this, Us many
we'll meaning friends desiring employ
use my influence in their behalf. Whilst
/ would be glad to advance their wishes
1 must decline to do this, as ! am in
hearty sympar by with the policy Of the
Interior Department i'll making this
work a natter Of strict business.
Il have received many inquiries re-
garding the entry OF government lands
in Chur ,hill county, adjacent to the
contemplated irrigation works. The
entry OF these lands though not entirely
Withdrawn has been discouraged by the
government until such time as the work
Is well under way and the irfigable land
plated by the engineers according to
section lines, allowing no homeseekers
TO enter more than so acres. There will
be no chance for the Spectator in this
movement. The irrigation act contcm
plates simply the creation OF homes by
home-seekers and compels actual resi-
dence under the Homestead act for five
years, before n title can be secured. 1t
is not proable that the cost OF the lands
with water right vii exceed SD per
acre, and this can he paid for in ten
equal annual installments. Under the
irrigation act the road Of the homesecli
ers will be an easy one, but Of the
speculBtor a hard one. Hundreds Of
men will be employed on the works by
the contractors, who will doubtless
seek to make er tries and secure homes
Eight hours constitutes II days labor
under the irrigation act aud | nave nc
doubt that work will be sought by
homeseekers who can thus earn money
needed for the payment Of the land ell
tered by them. -

According to the tradition of one OF
the tribes of India, the sun created a
man and Il woman at the beginning OF
time AMI tits couple had twelve chIl-
dren. When they had all come to an
age To shift for themselves the sun
divided them into pairs and placed food
OF all kinds before them. On their
choice depended the fate of the ir de.
scenients. These who took vegetables
only become the ancestors Of the high
SaDtals, the lowest Of all ~castes, spring
from those who chose pigs. The Kols
declare that they are descended from
those who took bullocks' flesh and To
choice the larka, or fighting KoIs. at

When these latter ut She beginning
Of the last century iirst met English
troops they wee quickly Impressed
with the fighting powers Of the strang.
crs, and, finding that they. too, ate
bullocks' flesh, the Kols paid them the
great compliment Of assigning them
the same pair OF ancestors as the
KOls. But by the time eleven pairs
had chosen their SHARE Of the food pro-
yidei there WAS nothing left for the IN
fortunate twelfth couple. aud they had
to beg food from the others who had
Jared better. From this unlucky pair

MAD AT SANTA FE.
Kansas City Grain Men May Sue to
Stop Discrimination.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. THE Times
says:
There is talk on the board of trade of
bringing suit to compel the Atchison.
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad to cease
discriminating in grain shipments.
AS told in the Star several days ago
the grain men asserted that the Santa
F'e railroad would not handle cars of
grain promptly unless they are con
signed to the Rex mills or Richardson &
Co. The Santa Fe officials denied that
they were discriminating in favor of the
Rex mills or Richardson & Co., but the
officials were confronted with copy of
an order directed to conductors ordering
them not to pick up" cars unless con-
signed to the Rex mills or Richardson &
Co Then the officials said that the OBJ
noxious order would be Cancelled.
But the method employed by the rail-
road company in canceling the order
does not meet with the entire approval
of the grain men. They contend that
the order directed to conductors order
ing them not to handle cars unless con-
signed to the Rex mills or Richardson q
Co. was given the widest circulation ana
in fact was not only given to all con-
ductors in wheat shipping districts but
to all the local agents as we'll.
The method used in canceling this or
der is effective but very SLOW Whenever
a complaint is received an order is sent
by the railroad company to the agent at
is in force in many other towns in the
great wheat belt. For instance a COM
plant is received from Hutchinson,
Kan The agent there is notified that
the order has been Cancelled. But there
are eleven other towns in the county in
which Hutchinson is located, but these
towns are not notified, and consequent
" the embargo against other than the
favored firms continues in operation not
only in the eleven other towns in Reno
= 10 fl,or-
towns in Kansas that are shipping
wheat.
The same condition exists in Oklaho-
ma, Indian Territory, Texas, Missouri
and other states and territories in which
the Santa Fe system operates. And the
conductors and trainmen understand
that the company has a preference IN
the matter and, like good workmen,
they consider the interests of their en-
ployers and if any cars are left behind
they make sure that they do not include
cars consigned to the Rex mills or Rich
ardsOn & Co.

ANOTHER RATE ADVANCE.
Western Railroads Planning to Raise
Freight Schedule.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. THE an
nouncement is made upon reliable au-
thority that, beginning September 1,
the railroads in Missouri territory
will make a sharp advance in rates on
freight of every description. 1t in
cludes almost every line of freight
carried and runs from 1 to IA cents One
of the most radical rulings made by the
roads is the abolishing of commodity
rates" or staple groceries. such as
sugar, coffee, beans. etc, September 20,
and placing these articles under reg
ular class rulings. The advances caused
by this change will range from u cent
to IA cents a hundred, and will prob
ably cause an increase in the price of
necessities this fall and winter Live
stock rates will suffer a general ad-
vance of from liz to cents, effective
September l, and the shippers are max
ing vigorous protests over this action
of the railroads
Kansas live stock men have appealed
to the state railroad commission, and
the roads have been summoned to an
swer, but up to the present time but
one road, the Grand Island, has seen
fit to take cognizance of the order In
its reply the Grand Island makes no
denial of the charges. but states that
the state commission has no iurisdic-
ton in the matter. as it is a question
OF interstate commerce.
