Nerada,s Freighs Situation in a Nufsheu.
There is just now a proposition on
foot to establish Reno as a railroad
freight terminus. Congressman Van
Duzsr. who is very jealous and enter
prising in the matter, is taking active
steps to bring il before the Interstate
Commerce Commission at an early date.
When the Interstate Commerce
Commission was established many
years ago il was the occasion Of a great
deal of rejoicing on the part of the Ne
vada shipper, aud the end of all his
troubles was supposed to have material
lied. If it resulted in any rate reduce
ton. however. the Appeal has never
had the pleasure of hearing it.
We would like very much to hear
that the Commission has acted aud
given Reno the benefit of lower freight
rates, as such reduction would be of
untold value to the entire State.
We do not, however, think that such
a delightful dream will ever materialize
through the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission.
The real power that keeps freight
rates up to their present exorbitant
standard is not the railroad company
as most people think, but the mer-
chants Of San Francisco, who are really
the power behind the road in the
matter. They say to the Southern
Pacific in SO many words:
If you give Nevada equal freight
facilities and rates with Us we will i'm
mediately have our freight shipped by
the Santa Fe or Northern Pacific.
As the trade of the city of San Fran
cisco is several hundred times greater
than the trade of Nevada. the railroad
acts accordingly.
This is about the whole freight situa-
ton in a nutshell, and Nevada will
never get any better rates until COM
petition gives them to as.
The question of tidewater is another
powerful factor in the matter and our
inland situation puts us at a great dis
We will have to accept the situation
philosophically until more roads come
in and settle the vexatious question.
We don't think hat the Interstate
Commission has the slightest
to do it.-Carson Appeal.

His Only Wish.

Nothing SO touches the heart strings as
the loss Of a ~favorite child. Anyone who
has experienced such a misfortune will sym
pathize with Mr.. n. j. Lewis of Newberry,
Florida, who writes: al am so thankful
that / have found a cure for dysentery. For
three years / have been troubled with this
disease. Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy was recommended TO me
and has effected a cure. When it comes back
one dose is all that is necessary to set me
right. / only wish | had known about this
remedy a year g when my dear little baby,
one and a half years old, took dysentery and
Gied in three days. The doctors tried to
stop it but failed, and / buried my very
heart strings with my child. No household
should be without this valuable remedy"

The recent order of the Japanese
Government, limiting emigration of
Japanese laborers to Hawaii, may serve
to check the stream Of immigration OF

Of Japanese that may leave japan for

dynamiting a space that the fire can't
cross. Sometimes, a cough hangs on so
long, you feel as il nothing but dyna-
mite would cure it. Y. L. Gray, OF Cal

aggravated cough, which kept her awake
nights. Two physicians could not help
her; 81 she took DR.. Kings New Dis.

TIE agitation for q Nerada Terminal
This question Of securing terminal
rates for Reno is big with Importance.
There is no other one thing that would
do more to bring about the permanent
prosperity of this State than the obtain
ing of freight rates that would place
this city on a parity with the Coast
cities. The day that such a schedule
went into effect new enterprises would
leap forth, full-armed. aud they would
be of such a nature as to insure the
orowth of the whole State. Reno
merchants would be placed on an equal
footing with the San Francisco man so
that the person who sent away for goods
would be certain to pay more to have
them landed here than If he had bought
direct from his local business man.
The boon of terminal rates would
mean so much to Nevada that 1t is
worth fighting for. Things vast , de-
sired never come easily. The railroad
has had many a contest Of this kind ON
it's hands, and generally it has gained
its point. Not long ago a raj road man
suggested that the question OF Reno's
rates be taken up with the railroad Of
fcials and that possibly some good
would result. Possibly the suggestion
would be worth acting upon. but 1t is
quite certain that the railroad would
give more careful consideration to
Reno's pleasure if at the same time a
vigorous campaign were being con-
ducted before the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Therefore we commend the work OF
Congressman Van Duzer aud wish him
godspeed in his endeavor to bring about
terminal rates for Nevada. What his
real motives are, whether the spur
which urges him ON is not so much the
desire for Nevada's welfare a 1t Is the
lure of further honors which Nevada
can bestow, we shall not discuss. The
thing is, that any man whose efforts
would result in obtaining such a boon
as terminal rates would be worthy OF
consideration. The Gazette is a Re-
publican newspaper, but its policy is
not SO warped by partisanship as to b.
unwilling to take note Of the excellent
work of a Nevada Congressman even
though that Congressman be a Demo
crat.-Reno Gazette.

II IDEA.

In an address recently delivered in
New York City, Governor Folk Of Mis-
souri, said:
1.-THE Missouri idea means the en-
forcement of the law, and if that law
is bad. the remedy is to repeal. not to
ignore it. Disregard of n law, means
disregard for all laws. In allowing
some laws to go unenforced, we reap a
harvest in having all laws broken.
Good men will observe even bad laws
1t should be that all men, good or bad,
be compelled to keep all law, good or
bad, because it is the law. The patriot.
ism of peace is just as necessary as the
patriotism of war. The patriotism Of the
ballot is even more necessary in a free
country than the patriotism OF the
bullet. Plenty OF men will die for their
country, but the man who will live for
his city and State every day is the man
that the Government needs. The
Government never neglects the people
unless me people first neglect the
Government. No government. city,
State or National. was ever better than
the people made il, or worse than they
suffered it to become. Good citizens
make good laws. but nc laws a make
good citizens. States and cities do not
consist of mortar and brick and stone,
but of the character of their citizen

The Standard Oil Trust has again cut
the price of crude oil, making a total re

MINERS NOT ORDERED OFF.
SAYS Railroad Has Taken No steps
in Regard to Olinghouse Mines.

1.-THE Southern Pacific has never or
dered any miner off of our land" said
a prominent railroad official TO a Reno
Gazette reporter last Saturday. "The
company has tried to be fair with all
people, aud until recently mining land
could be bought from the railroad at a
nominal figure. A few months ago
every BIT of the railroads lands, from
New Orleans to San Francisco, and
from California east. was Withdrawn
from entry. The reason for this we do
not know. as it is probably some deal Of
Harriman's.
''This talk about the railroad setting
up a claim to Olinghouse property is
without foundation. We know where
all those mines are located. and many
of them are on railroad ground, but so
far the company has not done anything
about it. The same is true of Peavine.
Many of the claims are on railroad
ground. Some are ON Henry Ander-
son 8 property. NO steps coward eject
ment have been taken. but this idea OF
going on to some other persons prop
erty and mining it is ali wrong, just as
mnch so as if they would go into his
back yard.
s'The railroad wishes to be fair in the
the matter. 1t wants to treat the miu-
ers right and has always been ready to
them aim ,st any concession"

The piece OF road in Ayr, will
extend from the Peoples" lane
north of Webster Mills, to the
Bridge at j. ]. Mellott's, a dis.
tance of about mile.
The piece in Bethel will extend
from the bridge at Will Stigers'
mill, to the Maryland line. The
contract for the road from the
Maryland line to Hancock, has al
readybeen let, and work will go
ahead; so that when both pieces
have been completed, which will
not be later than next fall, there
will be continuous piece of mod.

Hancock.
BY next June there will be to
the credit of Fulton county a sum
amounting to about $50, 900 in the
State treasury, and of course, if
Fulton does not use 1t, the money
would go to make goods roads IN
