Said Ill. +. Alps. in charge of the sta
tion.
The wind sheet, upon which the rec
ord of the wind velocity is written by a
pen which is electrically connected with
the thermometer upon the roof. shows
lne following high velocities for the WIND.
Ihe storm began at AIS a. M. and IN
creased in energy un.A $50 a. M. when
the maximum velocity OF 5S miles per
nour was reached. The maximum veloc-
ity of the wind is the greatest velocity
for period of five minutes, and in this
case simply means that the air Travelled
for a period of i've minutes at the rate
of 5S miles an hour.
From a. IN. until a. IN. the veloc-
ity ranged from 80 to ~ miles per houh;
from a. IN. until S:A5 p. m. the veloc-
ity did not fall below 45 miles per hour.
The greatest movement of wind for one
hour was 81 miles: the greatest for two
hours was 1Ol miles: the greatest move
ment from a. m. until $50 a. m. was
LIS miles.
THE velocity Of the wind decreased
rapidly after s:4S a. IN. and by a. m.
the rate was only about 70 miles per
hour. The total movement of the wind
from the beginning of the storm at AIS
a. IN. until the end at a. m. was 2M
miles.
THE direction Of the wind during the
entire time was southwest"

FORMER GOVERNOR SADLER
VERY ILL AT ELY

Alfred Sadler and his mother passed
through Winnemucca Monday night for
Eureka, from which place they will at
tempt their way through the snow to
Ely. a distance of ninety miles. where
Ex-Governor Reinold Sadler, one of the
most prominent men in Nevada, lies in
a serious condition. Mrs. Sadier and her
son reached Eureka at noon yesterday
and began the dangerous journey across
the snowbound country.
Governor SadIer was sick when he LETT
carson three weeks ago for White Pine
county, where he has large mining
eerests. He was advised not to make
the trip, but he believed that he could
stand it. The ride from Eureka to ELY
was made in a sled and when he reached
the camp he was SO exhausted that he
mas not had a well day since.

S. p. RESPONSIBLE FOR
CONGESTION AT PANAMA

A Washington dispatch says: Charges
BY Secretary Taft and Chief Engineer
Stevens of the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion, that the Southern Pacific Railway
is responsible fer the freight congestion
on the isthmus of Panama, formed the
most interesting development OF a four
hours hearing yesterday on canal af-
fairs before the deficiency subcommittee
OF the House Committee on Appropria-
tions.
controls the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany, according 10 the statements of the
Secretary of War and Mr.. Stevens. who
say that since the abrogation OF the
freight agreement between the Panama
t.aiiroao and the steamship company tue
latter Las been diiatory in calling ior
SaE Francisco freight on the west sue
OF the isthmus. 1T is charged that sIean-
ers frequently refuseto stop to take on
freight. and even leave port with only
a partial cargo. while great quantities
OF freight lie on the wharves.
1t was alleged that the apparent motive
Tor this course on the part OF the steam
snip company was to hinder materials
intended Tor the canal to be delivered at
Colon W the steamships operated by the
government from New York; SO that
shipments would be necessary over the
lines of the Paclnc Mail from san eran-
cisco; that the blockade had had this er-
feet was asserted by Chief Engineer
Stevens. who SAID that several cargoes
mad been shipped via San Francisco ana
over the Pacific line Tor this very reason.
an end can be made to the blockade.
AS there are no wharves on the west
side of the isthmus it Is impossible for
the railroad company to store the con-
gested freight on that side of the 18TH
mus until it can be shipped to san Fran
cisco. Consequently the storage and
docking facilities on the east side OF the
isthmus are said to be constantly over
taxed and the canal work seriously mn
dered.
1t was suggested by several members
Of the Appropriations Committee that the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company might
be induced to act more promptly if the
United States were to threaten to cut or
mail contracts with the company and
other members urged that the coastwise
laws are adequate to punish any negii-
gent act on the part of the company.
Secretary Taft was summoned before
the subcommittee to make explanations
concerning estimates for canal expenses
included in the additional appropriations
of $5.500.0Oo sought in order to continue
the canal until the end of the present
fiscal year on June sOth. Taft was ac-
companied by Chairman Shonts of the
Isthmian Canal Commission. Chief Gn-

Clough is now attempting To enforce
contract liens on the bulldog IN the gum
of $4,000 and $1,000 attorney lees Against
this Thoma & Bigaiow, through their
counsel, Dodge & Parker, set up cross
complaint for the amount Of excess paid
over contract price and damages of $50
per day as provided by the contract for
the time that the building was unfinisded
after contract time, in the sum of about
$1,000 In reply to this Clough alleges
that claim for damages cannot be sSr
up by way of cross-complaint to defeat

pcnds on the motion to strike out the
claim for damages.

Holding Up Forest Reserve.
, ssssssssssssssssssssssss,


Congressman Jones' secretary has
written him from Washington, d. c.,
to the effect that the forest service
has announced that 1t will withhold
action regarding the formation of a
reserve In Stevens county, pending
the receipt of petitions protesting
against its creation. It was because
of Congressman Jones' request that
the forest service officials decided to
delay action.
The forestry officials stated to the
secretary that 1t was not their desire
to interfere in any way with agricul-
tural interests, but merely to preserve
the timber.
Congressman Jones has written to
Pinchot, the governments forester, as
follows:
with reference to the recent with
drawals of land in Stevens county
would ask that no action be taken
looking to permanent Inclusion Of
this land in forest reserve till after I
have had opportunity to present the
petition now being formulated of in
terested persons asking that at least
a portion Of the public domain be re-
stored to public entry and settlement.

OF the interior July 27, 1906, for an
