OFFICIAL PAPER OF NYE COUNTY.

TEDDY THE REAL ARTICLE.

President Roosevelt's message tC
Congress concerning the famous de.
cision of United States District Judge
Humphrey of Chicago, against the
members of the beef trust has aroused
both applause and wonder.
The President takes sharp issue with
the Judge. In so doing he has awak-
ened both applause and wonder. Not
so long ago to criticise a court was de-
clared something akin to anarchy. Now
the President of the United States him.
self dares describe Judge Humphreys
decision as a miscarriage of Justice
making the twill of Congress absolutely
abortive."
Teddy is certainly the right mar in
the right place.

Another Survivors, Story.

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 27-Fireman
P. Reimer says there was no one who
showed greater heroism than Captain
johnson, First Officer Holmes, Second
Officer Peterson and Fourth Officer
hberg, who were in command of the
ship Valencia. They remained on the
bridge of the doomed vessel until they
were washed away by the bowling
wind and huge waves. There was no
panic owing to their presence of mind.
The moment the ship struck CAPTAIN
Johnson rushed to the bridge. 1 was
down in the engine room. There came
a crash and then a second and third
as the steamer pounded over the
ridges and rocks. 1t was a horrible
thing down in the engine room with
the thunder Of the storm outside and
the gurgling of the water as it filled
the vessels null. At no time did the
captain advise the passengers depar-
'oi t al Tie DOdlS. lie asked every one
on the ship if they wanted to go, but
many refused. Then when the situa-
ton became grave he insisted thai me
safest course was to stay with the
vessel. We had a gun aboard and
were in a position to shoot a rope
ashore. The first boat swung out was
filled with women and children, the
only men aboard being necessary sea-
men. Just as the boat hung over the
sea, before those in charge started to
lower it, the rear davit rope broke
and to our horror we saw the craft tip
down and there it hung from the for
ward davit rope, but the spilled occu-
pants disappeared in the waves and
were not seen again. A little while
later second boat was lowered, but
this one crashed against the side of
the ship as it was caught on the crest
of an incoming wave. The struggling
people all fell into the water. The

Joint Rate Proposition viii Benefit
Seattle and Tacoma.
0. R, 8 n, WILL CONSIDER The MATTER
Higher Charters at Portland May Re-
suit in Diverting Considerable
Trade From PortIandfl.

The announcement by the state rail-
road commission that there is posi-
bility that the railroads will consent
to esta blishing joint rates on wheat
That this should follow the visit of the
members of the commission to Port
land indicates that there must have
been some understanding with officials
of the o. r. & NJ, as that was the road
looked upon as the only one which
would oppose such rates, is the report
that comes from Olympia.
Just what reasons We're brought be-
fore the officials of the Portland road
to induce them to even consider step
which admittedly will destroy Port
lands wheat market and throw prac-
tically the whole grain business to the
Sound remains mystery. Members
of the commission will say no more
than that printed in their statement.
Roads Intention OWNED.
1t is known that when the joint rate
matter first came up the o. r. & N.
officials agreed to such rates on mer-
chandise and livestock to the manifest
injury of Portland, and the suggestion
was made then that as the o. R. & n.
intended to build to the Sound and did
not desire to offend the Sound jobbers
from whom it expected future business
it was wise for the road to agree to
the joint rates at once, as it would
have to make them, anyway, when it
built its terminals within the state.
But the wheat matter is a much
more serious proposition. The wheat
haul from eastern Washington to
Portland has long been the chief
source Of income of the Portland road
Out of 500OO,O00 bushels of wheat
raised in the O. r. & N. territory of
eastern Washington, Idaho and Oregon
the road hauled about 10000, 900 to |
Portland as against about 10, OOO,O 900 to |
Puget Sound.
Dissatisfaction Among Shippers.
But this last shipping season there
was a great change. At competitive
stations where the o. R. & N formerly
got the bulk of the haul it was found |
that the Northern Pacific was getting
the big end of the business. Later on
during the season when the growers
and shippers learned that those who
shipped over the Northern Pacific to
Sound markets were receiving from I |
to III cents more per bushel than
those who shipped over the o. R. & N,
and were confined to the Portland
there was much indignation.
and predictions were made that unless
conditions are remedied every person
who could would ship by the Northern
Pacific next season.
In1s would mean a loss of a big
share Of the o. R. & N. freight, and it
may be that the road is figuring out
it will not be wiser for it to
hold that business by taking a share
Of joint tariffs and then be in shape
to nave the entire haul when it's own
line reaches the Sound than to lose all
he traffic that can be diverted at COM
oetitive and semi-competitive points
If the road does make joint rates it
means that Seattle and Tacoma will
get practically all the wheat export
trade now held by Portland, because
the higher charters On the Columbia
river will put the Portland buyers out
IF the race.

There were only six left when I quit

that the women be given the first
chance?
They refused absolutely. They had
seen scores of women swept to their
death in the boats. They couldn't real

in the offing could not reach us. They

they chung to the rigging and went

that if the effort had been made line
could have been shot aboard us. OF
