The Citizens Of las Vegas Taking 40
tion. TO Carry Into Effect One Of
The Democratic pIsnks.
LAS VEGAS AS A TERMINUS
For Uniform Freight Rate as Per
Interstate Commerce Require-
ments ls the Request.
A WELL ATTENDED MEETING.

The democrats, I'm accordance with
the provision of the new Interstate
Commerce law. at their late state
convention. pledged the party of the
state TO exact from the powers that
be that the transcontinental railroad
lines establish a terminal point within
the state. The carrying into effect OF
this provision very much will be a
boon to the merchants, heavy shippers
and the consumers.
To the local merchants II will mean
enlarged trade, to the heavy shippers.
less freight and to the consumer less
cost for the things he needs. In other
words this terminus in accordance
with the interstate laws means a
freight and passenger rate that will
not discriminate against local shippers
to the special advantage OF Salt Lake
or Los Angeles shippers.
Having so Statutory an idea as that
suggested by the democratic state con-
vention in view the citizens OF Las
Vegas. irrespective of party consid.
erations, assembled on Friday at the
commercial establishment Of N A.
Kuhn and through the board of trade
laid the foundation to institute prop.
er action to attain this desirable re-
suit
'rna commercial. professional and
employing interests of the community
were represented NJ A. Kuhn pre-
sided and C. C. Corkhill was secre-
tary. An informal discussion was had
as to the best way to bring this about.
The final result was that a committee
of Ave was appointed to enquire into
the necessary action. apply to the
railroad company to select Las Vegas
as the terminus and prepare a petit
tion to be forwarded to the interstate
commerce commission representing
the desires of the citizens that such
terminus be enforced and that Las
Vegas. being natural distributing
point, be selected.
The committe is w. f. Hawkins. Nj
A. Griffith. E. w. Clark. w. r. Thomas,
and A. W. Jurden.
The move is a proper one and with
non-discriminating rates established to
Las Vegas. Las Vegas will soon be

commodities that will go to make up

ity to a large clientage at this point

Gable Receipts Increasing.
Official figures complied fro

 May, this year, the "ihis" line tolls amouGted to $21 ,571.40 and "other" lines $1 ,S37.67, the amount of both being $23, ,4O9.O7. In point of vantage these figures indicate a gain of 5000 over ti4e proceeding months business, and $10,00o over the month of May one year ago.
 The above figures indicate the cash value of the busiaess trans acted over the Alaska cable lines, but do not include the official or business, which amounted to & ,635.99 more, mak- ing a grand tolal of actual busi- ness handled during the month to be valued at $3l ,O45.06, and ap- proximately 100 per cent gain over May 1905.
 The Fairbanks News gives the following account of little diff culty between two well known, former residents of Valdez:
 Bert Stevens looks like he had been through d hamberger steak machine, or playing ragtime with d buzz-saw, owing to certain facial decorations, the result of a personal encounter with Ben Cockerell.
 The fight took place last evening in the cabin occupied by the two men. They were petitioners fer the mercy of Police Judge Erwin to-day, and after listening to the evidence. his honor imposed fine of $50 and costs against Mir. Cockerell. which was promptly paid.
 According to the evidence. the trouble grew out of a partnership agreement, the two men having brought in an outfit of eggs not long ago. It seems an attachment was gotten out against the eggs, owing to debts contracted by Cockerell, and Mir. Stevens claims that he paid $75 towards lifting the attachment.
 Cockerell stated that he was ly- ing in bed last evening when Stevens came home. They in dulged in an exchange of compli- ments, and Stevens called the other man liar. Cockerell said he thought the other was about to draw gun, and therefore pro ceeded to put him out of business as soon as possible.
 George A. Shea, who has been on the Nabesna in the interest of ont side, parties, came down the Tana- ma 5gO miles in a row boat to Fair banks, and reports meeting q family of bad Indians who held him up. He says they demanded tea and tobacco and seized the rope of his boat. He grabbed his Win chester and lifted his paddle to strike, when they let go. He says he is certain they will kill some white men.
 He reports gold having been found close to Panama Crossing. Provisions are $1 . pound there.
 Figures from bankers and opera tors at Fairbanks place the years gold output for the Panama at S9,- 250, GOO, divided as follows:
 Cleary, S5,500,000; Fairbanks, $2 2,OOO, ,OOO; Dome, $1 ,000, ,00O; Es- ther, $700,oO0; Delta and Sal chaket, $5OOO0. From the winter dumps there has thus far been cleaned up $2,715,0o0, as follows: Cleary, $1 ,500,00Q; Fairbanks, O,00O; Esther, $35O,OOO; Dome, $500, ,UU0; Goldstream, etc., S5O,OOO; Tenderfoot and Salchaket, $15,OOO.
 A good part of the winter dumps remain to be sluieed. Lack of water has bothered and recent rains have not been sufficient to give water fer any length of time.
 The total given does not take in- to consideration many small out lying districts, which will produce enough to bring the total up to &O,DOO,0O0
