THE TRUCKEE RIVER

Reno and Sparks have awakened
to the necessity of sewerage
dumping ground, The people have
raised such a cry against the Flor

ing poisonous matter into the
Truckee River that bill has been
passed i'll the Legislature providing
that after March 18th of this year
the beautiful Truckee would no
longer be befouled by people living
along its banks. The time has
almost passed away and Reno has
never paid any attention to the
matter until now, right on the very
eve of the time when the law is
to go into effect. Now every one
is worked up and don't know what

claimed by the papers of that town
that it will cause great hardship to
the people and be very expensive
to provide other means of dispos-

"REBATE GITING ENDED. .
Freight Traffic Manager of Central
Saus 1t WOuld BE Suicidal.

The giving of rebates by railroads is thing
of the past according to Francis La Bau. freight
traffic manager of the New York Central lines
east of Buffalo. He made this statement when
asked yesterday in regard to the popular mi
preston that certain roads were still in the
habit of favoring big shippers secretly. in def-
auce of the interstate commerce law
"Of course. I can speak authOritativcly only
for the New York Central said Mr.. La Bau-
I'm behalf of that line 1 state positively that
rebate giving. either directly or indirectly, is
not only now thing of the past, but has been
so for three or four years 1t is my personal
belief moreover, that this same statement ap-
plies practically all the big roads
'To give rebates in the face of the Hepburn
amendment to the interstate commerce law
would be suicidal The public should under
stand that this road is corporation and any
money paid out necessarily would have TO d.
accounted for upon our books These books are
open for inspection at all times to the secret
agents of the government. Any violation OF the
law would speedily be detected by them and
punishment would promptly follow Is it not
folly to suppose that any railroad man will do
other than rigidly obey the law?
THE Hepburn amendment has revolutfOntzed
the conditions in the commercial world of this
country. 1t is impossible now for any large
shipper, corporation or otherWlSe 10 ootdlIi
lower rates than those accorded to the smallest
customer of any road. The merits or demerifs
of rebate giving longer are a subject for
discussion The law is plain and it must be
and is being obeyed
In conclusion. want to call attention 10 one
fact which seems to have escaped the attention
OF certain agitators This is that in all of the
cases in which the railroads have been fined
for giving rebates the offences were committed
prior to 1905 This in itself should be proof
positive that there now exists no violation OF
the law
