Senator Pettus of Alabama was
writing with noisy, spluttering pen.
Laying the pen down, he smiled and
said:
"Once I was spending the evening
with a friend of mine in Selma. We
sat in the dining room, and from the
kitchen came a dreadful scratching

Col Ed. f. Brown OF Aspen Colo, Is
reported to be going overland from
Iyanpah on the Santa Fe branch line to
Bullfrog and Goldheld New, with the
object In view Of drawing up a report
for the Santa Re regarding the re-
sources OF southern Nevada from

uring on building a branch In this d.
recton the outcome will be watched
with interest. Already by the compile
ton OF the Salt Lake Route the santa
Fe tonnage is menaced on transcontin-

Pedro situation was made manifest IN
the dispatches last night, when 1t was
announced that Messrs. Frlck and
Rogers OF the ockefeler-Standard OIL
crowd had been elected on the director
ate OF the Santa Fe. AS Standard OIL

lieyed In some quarters to be represent

Route, II begins to look az though
there will not be any bitter or vindic-
tive fight precipltated over southern
California and Nevada business.

wind Is blowing, the following Assocl-

GRIEF AT TONOPAH.
Raise of 100 per Cent on Rate on Crude
OIL the Cause.

There is deep and abiding grief over
IN Tonopah and Goldheld among the
mining men over the action of the
Southern Pacific In jumping up the
freight rate on crude oil exactly 100 per
cent In a single day As about 1000
barrels OF crude oil are used In the two
mining districts every month the ad-
vance figures out that the railroad
company VIII clean up an additional
$4,000 year over its action As the
districts are developed and more OF this
commodity Is required the profits will
be increased accordingly
Crude oil shipped into Tonopah from
Kern county Cal, that costs at the
wells 40 cents per barrel, has hereto
fore cost the consumers $3.50 per barrel
laid down In Tonopah The railroads
have collected the difference.
Now without warming and although
the price per barrel az the wells has
not been advanced a penny, the rail-
road freight agent at Tonopah has In
former all receivers OF oil at Tonopah
ana Goldheld that hereafter the price
delivered IN Tonopah will be $500
In the face OF this action the mining
men are getting together with the OBJ
iect in view Of petitlonlng the leglsla-
ture to take a hand IN checking the
