LABELS MUST STATE TRUTH
Secretary Wilson Issues an Ulti-
matum to Forty Represent
atives Of Packing Houses

Washington, Aug. 80. - Nothing
short Of the placing on meat products
latels which will not deceive the public
was the ulrimatum which Secretary
Wilson delivered to 40 rel resentative 9
of various packing houses here to-day.
Hereafter if the packers want their
goods accepted for interstate shipment
the packages must bear labels more
specific than those used hitherto. 1t
will not do. for instance, to state
merely that a package contains sau-
sage. The label must distinctly de-
scribe the article and plainly show that
the sausage is ma le entirely Of pork, of
pork and beef com bined, or of other in.
gradients. The elimination of certain
advertising features on the labels will
also be insisted upon. The packers
were particularly solicitous regarding
the meat products already put mp and
held in stock, but Secretary Wilson as.
sured them il was not his intention to
open every package. but to select Ger.
tain percentage. and if they were found
as represented he would authorize
labels for the lot. certifying that it had
met the requirements of the law.
In administering the law, Secretary
Wilson said he would apply common
sense and that it was not his intention
to be hysterical or to impose any un.
necessary hardships on the packers.
Goods Must Be Labeled By Oct.
Washing on. Aug. 81. - Secretary
Wilson assured the representatives of
the meat packing Interests of the coun-
try with whom he continued his con-
ference to-day that he had no authority
to extend beyond the first of October
next the placing of labels on canned or
other meat products. He told the
packers fatty that they must be pre-
pared on that date properly to label
their goods or they would not be per-
mitted to send them through the chan.
nels of interstate commerce.
The question was raised as to the
status Of the goods now on the shelves
Of the wholesale and retail merchants
of the country. The Secretary said it
was manifestly impossible for the Gov
ernment to inspect them. The owners
or holders of the goods. he suggested,
would have to take their chances on
selling them. One thing was certain !:
They could not be shipped from one
State to another.

WILL BUILD SCHOOL HOUSE
Southern Pacific Thinks 1t Will
Be Cheaper Than to Pay a
Special Tax

Rather than submit to a special tax,
nearly all of which it would be COM
PEELED to pay. the Southern Pacific Rail.
road Company. which has large shops
at Nina. Esmeralda County. has in
formed the Nina School Board that 1t
will at its own expense erect 5000
school building for the pupils Of the
district. It's offer has been accepted
and the company will soon place its
carpenters and bricklayers at work
upon the undertaking.
Nina. though a city Of nearly 1000
people. came into existence a year
ago when the Southern Pacific Com
pany built its shops there. Before that
it was trackless waste. without vege-
tation and without water or inhabi-
tants. The shops are the only industry
of the place and SO per cent Of the taxes
are paid by the railroad company.
Prcfiting by it's experience at Sparks.
where the railroad was heavily taxed
to erect costly school builing in which
graft was rife. the division officials at
Nina informed the Trustees that the
company would donate the land, erect
the building and turn it over to the
community to run.

NO contributions FROM NEVADA
Chairman of Republican Con-
gressional Committee Needs
More Funds

The Washington. d. O.. correspond
ent of the Sacramento Bee says:
If Nevada Republicans wish to get
back into the good graces of Repre-
sentative Sherman, Chairman of the
Republican Congressional Committee, a
few of them should send him contribu-
ton Of 81 each. Mr.. Sherman came
down to Washington a few days ago
and sat in the private Office of Secretary
of the Treasury Shaw. They were ar
ranging for Mr.. Shaw's itinerary on the
stump this Autumn. A few newspaper
correspondents happened around, and
Chairman Sherman solicited dollar
each from them, thereupon proceeding
to tell how shabbily the Western States
had treated the popular contribution
for campaign expens,s.
"Oh, we have received something
from nearly every State west of the
Mississippi" said Mr.. Sherman, "but
have to name two exceptions. Those
are Idaho and Nevada. 1t seems a
little strange for Nevada, with all her
wealthy Republicans. and all her rich
gold mines. But the books at head
quarters show that not dollar of Ne
vada money has been contributed.

OF INTEREST TO ALL NEvADANS
Colorado Starts Fight Against
Discrimination In Favor of
San Francisco Shippers

Washington. September i.-Discrimi- /.
nation and unjust rates are charges
filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission to-day against many of the
important lines Of railroads of the
country by shippers. One of the i'm
portant cases fled which will likely re.
suit later in hearing was one in
which the Merchants Traffic Associa.
tion of Denver complains that the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad
Company and all of the important lines
of railways doing business between the
North Atlantic Coast and the Pacific
Coast discriminates against Denver
merchants aud jobbers in favor of those
of San Francisco and other Pacific Coast
points in the matter of rates.
1t is alleged that the defendant COM
panies exact rate on calico and similar
merchandise from Atlantic Coast points
to San Francisco aud other Pacific
Coast points of 81 per 100 pounds on
carload lots and $3.50 per 100 on less
than carload lots. where as, to Denver
and Colorado common points they
charge $l.79 per 100 with no reduction
for carload lots. On other classes Of
merchandise. such as cotton sheetings.
cotton duck. etc.. the defendants charge
rate of 90 cents per 100 on carload lots
and 81 .35 per 100 for less amount than
a carload; while the rate on the same
goods to Denver and Colorado common
points is $l.79 per 100. irrespective of
amount.
1t is urged that this is a case in which
the shorter haul is included in the
longer and the charges to Denver are
excessive. unjust aud unreasonable and
discriminatory.
The complainant asks the Commits
sion to establish proper rates to Denver
from Atlantic Coasts points and to or
der that they In no event shall exceed
the rates to the Pacific Coast points.

NEvADA'S CHANGING CLIMATE

several days the precipitation was al
most continuous. Usually transforms

precipitation for Is to 20 hours being
rare.
The recent storms affected the en-.
tire southern part of the State. They
swept over the great stretch of desert
country from the Utah line to Rhyolite,
Bullfrog and Death Valley. Old residents
were astonished. aud firmly believe
that the moisture came from the vast
body of water precipitated by the
Colorado river in the Salton desert to
the southwark.
