CHICAGO LIVE STOCK.

Chicago. Aug. 14.-CATTLE.-The
market showed no particular change
The offerings were largely range cat
tie and common to medium farm fed
lots. The trade was fair TO- Tuesday
with fair cattle selling at $500 $G1O.
Choice lois selling at SG1j and mp
wards. Stock.rs and feeders trade was
more active at rising prices. Cows
and heifers were good sellers at $3.50
nS5.25.
HOGS-With about 10000 offered
today. including those left over unsold
last night. there was an active general
demand. tn prices averaging 5n7lAc
higher.
SHEEP-The demand was rather
tame on the early marke' due TO the
lack Of energy and caused apparently
by the absence of the right kind Of
stuff Late trade in killing stuff was
active enough TO nod the market
about steady where good sheep were
offered. Buyers declared that any C.
cline was due TO lack of quality rather
than TO an actual weakness.

PORTLAND, Dec 15.-The street
car system, owned by the Portland
Railway, Light and Power company,
is practically tied up as the result of
a strike of moto-men and conductors,
which began this afternoon because
of the refusal OF the company to
sign an agreement to increase wages,
abolish the system of photographing
the platform and a demand that the
company shall not discriminate
against union men. The strike bears
serious aspect tonight. As fast as
cars reach transfer points, rush is
made for the men by a mob and they
are compelled to desert their cars or
be beaten. Several riotous demon
strations have occurred The police
seem powerless to control the crowds

EDITORS MUST
Dig IF THEY
WANT TO ride

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Fifteen
members of the National Editorial
Association had an informal hearing
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission concerning a ruling that
railroads cannot give transportation
in return for advertising. The edi-
tors asked for a decision from the
commission and an Interpretation OF
the law Chairman Knapp of the
commission declared that prominent
railroad men had applauded the ac-
tion of the commission. He said the
law explicitly provided for the pay
ment OF money for transportation.
Expressing a personal opinion Knapp
said railroads were legally and hon
estly indebted to newspapers, and
saw no reason why they could not
issue transportation therefor He
suggested making a test case to Sc
cure a judicial decision.

of his friend Charles Stroshnider,

subscription list. The approval of
the actions of the Bonanza is clearly
evidenced by the fact that in a very
short time over SIS was subscribed
to the funeral. Arrangements are
now being made to accord the body
of the gallant hero a burial fitting
one who so unfiinchingly gave his
life in order that his friend may be
saved from certain death. The his
tory of his self-sacrifice in staying
with his partner is already known
Lost on the desert these two men
roamed about in the cold and snow
until fatigue and exposure proved
too much for one Although almost
exhausted himself Davis practically
carried his comrade for many miles
until he also fell under the addi-
tional burden. Even then he mus
tered together enough strength to
persevere in his efforts to procure
help for his stricken companion.
The result of his heroic action was
the loss of both his feet and ulti-
mately his very life itself. The gem
erous response of the people of To-
nopah makes it clearly apparent
that his courage and fidelity to his
friend is thoroughly apparent. The
full list of those who have already
subscribed is as follows:

touching incident and one that
commands the highest respect and
appreciation, is the subscription re-
ceiyed from the Salvation Army. One
of the members of this body on her
nightly visitations happened to be
in one of the places where the list
was presented, and overhearing the
conversation stepped forward volun-
tariiy and placed the name of the
Salvation Army upon the list. Such
an act of generosity should not go
unnoticed.
The Bonanza will lbe very glad to
receive subscriptions to the fund and
any money left at this Office will be
receipted for in the customary man
ner. We are certain that the people
of Tonopah will see to it that the
remains of Vincent Davis are inter-
red in manner commensurate with
his noble sacrifice.

HAS EXCITING TINE ON DESERT.
Searchers for Lost Friends in Turn
Get Lost Themselves.

In a search for their friends who
were lost on the desert resulting in
a very trying experience for Richard
Finn and Sandy Gelzine Hearing
from an old prospector that Jack
Britt and James Donnelly, who had
gone to their property at Silver Bow
were lost on the desert Finn and
Gelzine tsarted Wednesday morning
to try and locate them. Owing to
the fact that the trails were not
broken the searchers themselves lost
their way over 23 hours but finally
reached Golden Arrow where they
learned that their friends had got
ten back to Silver Bow. Finn said
it was a terrible ordeal and the day
and night were bitter cold. So COM
pletely did they lose their way that
they were within two and a half
miles of Silver Bow and never knew
it. Mr.. Finn explained that had
there been sign posts along the
trails and which could be put in
place at small cost, they would
never have gone amiss and he only
wonders that more people do not
lose their way especially when the
snow is on the ground. Finn got
back to camp last night in very
much worn condition.
