The Fact That Nevada Is Being Disseminated Against by Rail-

them as one business man to another
and to endeavor to convince them that
it Is to the best interests Of both to
agree on q more equitable adjustment
Of freight tariffs. AS before stated in
these columns, the railroad company is
not q charitable institution. Although
Kentucky corporation, the s. P. Co.
has the characteristic that is said to be
peculiar to the Missourian-they must
be "shown" wherein 1t will be to their
advantage to build mp this State and
how lower freight rates will accomplish
that end. The heads of the freight and
passenger departments Of the company
will come fortified with mass Of
figures and data that will be simply
appalling to q layman who is not con-
versant with all the intricate detail
that goes to make up a railroad tariff
sheet. We must be prepared to meet
this mass of railroad evidence" with
rebuttal statistics. 1t must be shown
that under present conditions. while
Nevada may ship into the State we
cannot ship out in competition with
other more favored communities. ex-
cept such products as are not produced
el-ewhere.
With its immense possibilities in the
way Of cheap power. Reno is ambitious
to have manufactures Of various kinds
esta blished in this vicinity, but finds
that while we can ship in the raw or
flushed products Of other communities.
we cannot turn ont the finished article
in competition. No wholesale house
worthy the name can exist in this State
as against those of California. We are
not permitted to reap the benefit Of the
business Of our own commonwealth. We
are turned over to be exploited by people
Of another State who have no interest
here except what may be measured by
what they can get out of us. They pay
no taxes in the State, but levy tribute
in exact proportion to the benefits they
enjoy in lower freight rates by reason
Of their more advantageous location on
the seaboard. The wholesalers Of the
coast cities constantly hold the club OF
the water haul over the heads of the
railroad and are in position to CON-
pei the companies to meet the cheaper
rate Of water transportation. hence the
excuse for the discriminating "back
haul" charge. but on the other hand.
the railroad can be assured that every
pound Of freight consigned to this State
from the East viii be handled by the
roads and il a distributing point is
established in Nevada they will receive
the benefit of o double haul on vast
amount Of it. 1t is the sincere opinion
of those who have joined in this move
ment that a strong argument can be
put up for modification Of the present
rates. and if properly presented there
will be no doubt of its success.
Let us then get together, and in a
spirit Of moderation and good temper
ask for a conference with the railroad
officials to the end that Nevada may
be relieved Of many of the burdens
that have contributed to its lack OF
development. 1t is up to the people to
accomplish it if they will act together
and in the proper spirit.

The question of railroad transporta.
ton rates is one that is so vital to the
people of Nevada that there should be
no doubt Of the cooperation Of every
shipper and business man within its
borders. An opportunity will be afford
cd every patron Of the railroad to come
forward and join in a movement that
has for its object the compilation of data
aud the preparation OF an address to the
Southern Pacific officials embodying the
complaints OF the people Of this State
against the company in the matter Of
freights aud fares. To be effective this
movement must be backed by as strong
a representation from the shippers of
Nevada as IL is possible to secure. There
must be no listless or half.hearted &C.
tion or the movement is fordoomed to
failure and will "die a. borning."
Let it be understood at the outset
that there is no Intention to antaRonize
the railroad company-there is no
political significance in the organiza-
tion that it is hoped to perfect. There
will be no threats OF legislative enact
ments II the company declines 10 ac-
cede to all the requests that are made,
but an effort will be made to so present
the facts as they exist aud endeavor to
prove by these facts that our State has
been unjnsily Disseminated against ia
the past aud that our material prosper
ity aud advancement has been serious.
ly hampered by q condition that it Is
entirely within the power Of the rail-
road company to ameliorate without
financial loss, but. on the contrary, that
will result in greatly increased business
IL can be safely predicted that there
will be strong opposition to any revi-
sion of the western classification by the
wholesalers of San Francisco and
Sacramento who now enjoy terminal
rates and who will vigorously protest
against any lowering OF rates that will
have the effect of losing to them any
portion Of the territory over which
they now have exclusive control by
reason of discriminatory freight rates.
While there is no intention to take un
due advantage Of San Francisco in its
hour OF trouble. the fact remains tnat
it will be months-perhaps years-b,-
fore the wholesalers OF that city will
again be In u position to properly handle
the business of the coast. aud it Is
manifestly unfair TO retard this State
until such time as they are p epared to
resume business on the former stan
dard OF efficiency. For a long time to
come il is inevitable that the bulk OF
the trade that formerly went TO San
Francisco will be detected to the East
direct aud there is no reason why the
determinations that were largely due
to the influence Of the coast wholesalers
should be longer continued when they
are not in position to reap the benefits
The business men of Reno need have
no fear that they will suffer any inc)n
venlence by reason of this movement. As
above stated, It is the intention Of those
who have associated themselves for the
purpose of bringing this matter to the
attention of the railroad officials. to
conduct the negotiations on the high
plane OF business ciples, to talk to

co. A INSPECTED.
The Soldier Boys Make a Very Fine
Appearance.

Co a. I'd Reg't.. n. G. S. NJ. was in
spcctcd last evening by Gen. Davis
Of Augusta. and the inspection showed
the company TO be in highly salts
factory condition.
The company fell in" at s o'clock.
Some time was passed in drilling. and
the evolutionS were executed with a
precision that seemed wonderful when
consideration was given the fact that
many of the soldiers are recruits who
have had very little experience in
military duties. The men wore the
olive drab. After this drill the men
opened their blanket rolls. and dis
played the contents which in PRACTICAL
IL every case were in proper order.
During the inspection, Gen. Davis
7 asked the usual questions regarding
the equipments and it's use. and the
answers to his queries showed that
i the men fully understood the things
they handled.
/ The inspection WAS witnessed by 4
large number of spectators, many of
whom We're old National Guardsmen,
including Major John w. Berry, c. f.
Tibbetts, who formerly was captain Of
the company, and Capt. Owen of Co.
NJ. Augusta.
1t is plainly evident that Co. \ is
continually improving in efficiency,
and this gratifying condition natural
~ reflects much credit upon Capt.
MCkcnna who has worked exceeding
~ hard in the interest of the OrgaI.-
iZatiOn since he has been in command.
Lieut.. HOdgdon was present and took
an active part in the ceremonies of
the evening, III spite of the fact that
one of his hands is practically use
loss on account of blood poisoning
which resulted from Il slight accident
some time ago. Every man holds Il
deep interest in the company, which
more than all else assures success
for the efforts of the officers. Lieut..
LivcrmOrc WAS absent from the in
81 ectiOn on account Of Illness.
Preparations for the drill and bail
which will be given by the company
on the evening of Jan. % are pro-
lrt sSing we'll. Capt. Mckcnna has in
vited Go. NJ of Augusta to attend the
affair. and will send the official in
vitation within d few days. Gardiner
