RENO'S LIGHTING RATE
Flanagan Says Proposed Ordi-

Company's Property.

A Reno dispatch of March to the
Sacramento Bee says: p. l.. Flanagan
President of the Reno Power. Light
and Water Company, which is said to
be controlled by the Fleishackers OF
San Francisco. who also own every
other electric plant on the Truckee
River, and practically every public
utility in Reno except the telephone
system, declares in an interview that
the City Council, by its rate ordinance,
is preparing to confiscate the property
of the company.
Mr.. Flanagan declares that the
Fleishackers do not hold the controlling
interest in the Reno Power. Light and
Water Company. but that he is the
largest stockholder. He claims that
the company has over a million and a
half dollars invested in Reno; that IL
owes debts to the extent of s750,O00,
aud that it has never paid dividend.
Without selfish motives, but merely
to serve the people of that city, he says
the company spent $4,000 to carry Its
lines to Sparks, which has never paid
profits equaling per cent. He claims
that further improvements are planned
by the company. which owns the gas
and water systems in Reno, but that
these improvements cannot be carried
out IL the destructive rate ordinance.

The ordinance comes up at the next
session of the Council, and it is almost
certain to pass by an unanimous vote.
This is the first statement in regard
to the ordinance that has been made
by the company. In spite Of the claims
of Mr.. Flanagan, however, it is believed
that great part of his holdings have
been transferred to the Fleishackers.

ing at Lovelock and went down there
to see how they were getting along.
Mr.. Hardin says there are still about
l50 carloads Of cattle on the Meadows
and they are in prime condition for the
market. Speaking of the condition of
the cattle market in Nevada to the
Winnemucca Star. Mr.. Hardin said:
"Stockmen are looking for much
better prices for cattle this year than
last and the market already shows de-
cided upward tendency. know Of one
important sale which was made in the
western part Of the State few days
ago at 81 cents, and the same owner
sold another big Lott for delivery on
March 20 at 9 cents. The Western Meat
Company was the buyer. This is
cents over the best prices paid last year
and the rise is due to shortage in Cali
fornia. Last year California had q
surplus of grass cattle and the heavy
marketings forced prices down to the
lowest point for years. But this year
conditions are greatly changed, prin-
cipally owing to the drouth in Califor-
mia, and that State has comparatively
few cattle to market. In fact, Nevada
cattle have already been bought and
shipped as far south as Los Angeles.
Prices are going up of necessity and
there is a keen demand for Nevada
beef. The outlook is that the market
will be strong with an upward ten
dency for some time"

Now is a pretty good time for the
stock men of Nevada to take warning
and look out for Chicago sharpers. as
they come here and give bogus checks,
make contracts for the delivery of
horses and cattle and repudiate their
debts, said Governor Sparks few days

Sheriff Murphy Of Lander County in
forming him that Nevada had lost its
three prisoners. whom he was bringing
from Chicago to have their trial at
Austin on the charge of dsfrauding
stockmen, for which they were indicted
by the Grand Jury.
They were brought from Chicago
under extradton papers signed by the
Governor of Illinois. who revoked his
papers after the Sheriff had the men as
far as Utah. Habeas corpus proceed.
Jugs were instituted at Ogden and the
men were turned loose.
The indictment will remain against
the trio, but they cannot be punished
unless they are caught within the State
of Nevada.

TsI An, the dowager empress and

painted In complimentary colors in the
book just published by Hiss Katherine

career. Miss Carl. who is an artist and
whose acquaintance with the dowager
empress came about through painting
the portrait of her imperial highness,
gives her a much better character than
previous biographers. She has been
described on the one hand as an un-
scEupulous schemer who has not hes.
itated TO resort even to murder in the
execution of her plans and. again. as a
beneficent ruler, friend OF progress.
Isl An is the daughter OF a Manchu
noble who became reduced to poverty.
He sold his little girl to Chinese mer-
chant. who treated the young slave
well and taught her to read and
write. In 1S4S the Emperor Hier
