growing out of the recent disaster at
San Francisco. Announcement is made
that in this public service the co-opera-
ton of public men and of the press is
assured. While San Francisco was
burning, when it was impossible to
verify rumors or to substantiate facts.
stories were circulated that found their
way into print, if uncontradicted, will
injure not only California, but also the
other States of the Pacific coast.
Nothing but the truth is necessary to
point out that no material industry
agriculture, horticulture, viticulture,
mining, manufacturing and commerce
has suffered interruption or perma-
nent injury. A series of articles, pre-
pared by men whose regulations COM
mand respect and inspire confidence, is
required at this time. Such will be
arranged for and will be circulated all
over the world by the Southern Pacific
company. The entire American news
paper and magazine press will, in SYM
pathy and in Justice to the stricken
State Of California, give them all posi-.
BILE publicity. Their educational value
will be great.

Lots of whisky Lost

According to a dispatch from Frank
fort, Kentucky, of the 10th inst, the
flake stand at a distillery broke down
and more than 10, 900 gallons of whisky
was lost. 1t made its way to Benson
creek, only a few feet away. Farmers
living along the banks of the stream
later noticed hundreds of fish either
floating lazily on the surface or else
leaping playfully out of the stream,
and altogether unafraid of the presence
of man. The farmers caught them by
the bushel, and it was not until the
news of the break at the distillery be-
came known that the mystery was
solved-the fish had become intoxicated.

Car Runs Down Automobile.

A railroad automobile coming in from
Goldfeld with ten passengers aboard,
was run down by the engine of a freight
train when almost at the Tonopah
depot. The passengers saw the train
coming, but believing that the engineer
would slow down before reaching them,
felt no anxiety. They were very much
surprised though when the huge engine
butted into their machine, tipping it up
and splitting all the passengers out. All
were more or less Jared up by the op.
posing forces, but only a couple of then
received superficial wounds.

w. w. Booth, the managing editor
of the BONANZA, has for the past three
weeks been off on a vacation, accom-
panied by Mrs. Booth, and his return is
expected this evening Or tomorrow.
He spent some time in Reno on his way
out where he attended a barbecue and
enjoyed the hospitality of that prince
of interior cities, of which naught but
good can be said. He went to Sacra-
mento and also to San Francisco-what
is left of it-and spent three days in
surveying the ruins of the metropolis
and bordering over the sad vicissitudes
and mutations wrought by the hand OF
the Almighty. Frisco and Oakland are
at present dominated by the spirit OF
Carrie Nation and the convivial sou
has no abiding place there. They are

Mr.. Booth also called on his age
mother at Yreka, who is now 88 year
of age, and on his return stopped a
Reno to attend the session Of the Gram
Lodge of Knights of Pythias.

ENGINEERS MAY STRIKE
BROTHERHOOD ON ALERT
Officially Announced That Requests
Have Been Made for Higher Wages
and Better Working Conditions for
All Employees.

Cleveland, o., Oct FIT was off-
cially announced at the headquarters
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En-
gineers in this city that requests had
just been made, not only to the lines
of Chicago, but also to a number of
the big eastern systems, for higher
wages and better working conditions
for all classes of trainmen. 1t was
said that similar requests would prob
ably be made by that brotherhood to
every other railroad in the United
States between the Atlantic and Pa
cific coasts.
The requests made by the engineers
include revised and higher wage
scale for the men and better working
conditions looking toward shorter
hours for days work. On a num-
Der of the western roads the engineers
have requested that scientific tests for
determining the condition of their
vision be abolished, and that practical
tests be made instead.
Although the requests made by the
engineers is entirely independent of
those made by the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen and the Switch
mems union, these latter employees
feel greatly strengthened in their de-
mandS.

BUSINESS MEN
SHOW D|SFAVOR
Not Ready to Accept the Or
der to Not Back Stamp
Letters.
STRONG ARGUMENT USED
PROTESTS COME FROM ALL
PARTS OF THE COUNTRY
RICHMOND OFFICES HOWEVER,
STILL MAKING USE OF STAMP.

Ever since First Assistant Post
master General Hitchcock promulgat-
ed an order last week disseminating
in certain of the larger postoffices of
on letter mail, postmasters in cities
large and small have been fairly mum
dating the authorities in Washington
with requests that they be permitted
to come under this ordinance, point
ing out the great saving of time and
labor in the handling of ffrst-cIass
mail Richmond postofice still uses
the back stamp, however. The plan
was first inaugurated experimentally
in Chicago, with such a decided saw
ing to the department that it was de-
cided to extend the plan to various
other large cities; hence last weeks
order. But, contrasted with the well
come which it receives at the hands
OF the postmasters affected, is the lack
of enthusiasm, nay, even disapproy-
al. accorded it by business men all
over the country.
They point out that this discontin
uance of the back stamp, showing al
most conclusively as it does the time
OF delivery of mail, is likely to result
IN no lnconsiderable trouble and loss
to them. For instance, with the back
stamp in use, they can readily deter
mine on receipt of a delayed or over
due communication just where the
blame lies-whether with the receiv-
ing or the distributing postoffice-
and take proper steps for obviating
the recurrence of such delays Then.
too. in case of a firms failure to re-
ceive certain communication in due
course and possible resulting law
suit, it can be shown conclusively that
the letter was not received in time for
the proper contemplated action.
There would seem to be much in this
argument, but the final action of the
postoffice department remains to be
seen.

THE TROUBLE is AVERTED.
Not Likely That Railroad Trainmen's
Strike Will Be General on the
Pennsylvania.

In commenting on the threatened
dissatisfaction of employees in the
Pittsburg district, one of the officials
of Pittsburg line says that there is
no cause for alarm over the report
that members of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen will strike, provid-
ed an eight hour day is not establish
ed. He admits that executive Off
Gals of various lines are considering
the demands of the trainmen and are
disposed to treat the men in an hon
orable and fair manner as soon as a
conference may be arranged, over
which there is really no haste as the
present wage scale will not expire I'M
til March 81 of next year. In the
printed circular issued by the Brother
erhood of Railway Trainmen no ref
erence is made to a strike and the
belief prevails that there will be no
trouble on that score, but that the
wages and hours will be arranged sat
isfactorily to the railroad employees.

The Railroad Officials Wondering as
as to What Interstate Commerce
Commission Will Do, Jan. 1.

Railroad officials are endeavoring
to find out what is going to be the
method of the Interstate Commerce
Commission after Jan. 1, but they have
not as yet succeeded. The commits
sion has ruled that where through
rates are higher than some of the To-
Gals the railway may until January
l construct through rates on some of
the locals, in that manner reducing
the through rates. This is also taken
to imply that through rates after that
time must no be higher than the sum
of the local and also to imply strongly
that through rates may be reduced to
less than the sum of the local.

MISSION MEETING
! is ARRANGED FOR
Timothy Hussey to Address a
Meeting at East Main Street
Church Tomorrow,
Mr.. HUSsEY AS A MEMBER OF
NEW ENGLAND YEARLY MEET.
ING HAS BEEN PROMINENT IN
MISSION FIELDS,

1t was announced last night that
Timothey Hussey, of New England
Yearly Meeting of Friends, who came
here early in the week to attend the
missionary conference of Friends, will
deliver an address tomorrow (Monday)
afternoon at 2: so o'clock at East Main
Street Friends church, relative to the
mission work in the Holy Land, which
is particular near and dear to him.
Mr.. Hussey is conspicuous exam
pie of the sacrificing missionary work
er. He is a man of means, and he
has devoted both time and means to
further the teaching of the Gospel in
foreign lands. The mission stations
in Palestine of the Friends denomin-
alton are under the special care of
New England Yearly Meeting and Mr..
Hussey has familiarized himself with
every phase of the work as well as
with general conditions in that coun-
try as a result of his many tours to
the Holy Land.
Mr.. Hussey is particularly distin-
guished by reason of his being the
first person who ever bought a foot
of ground from the Sultan of Turkey,
having acquired by purchase tract
of land in Syria for a boys school to
be established under the direction of
New England Friends. The rare d.
plomacy which Mr. Hussey was COM
PEELED to use in order to complete the
purchase is an interesting story in
itself Mr.. Hussey is a most enter

entious md interchangeable worker in
