GREAT RATE FIGHT BEGINS

Interstate Commerce Commission
Takes Up Charges Against Roads
Spokane, WASH, Jan. 14.-A battle
over freight rates, the result of which
may affect Nevada and the wholesale
centers all over the Nation. began at
the Court House here this morning be-
fore Interstate Commerce Commission
ers Chas. A. Prouty and franklin K.
Lane.
1t is the suit Of the City of Spokane,
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Spokane Jobbers' Association against
the Great Northern, the Northern Pa
cific. the Oregon Railway aud Naviga-
ton Company and allied railway lines.
The complaint charges unjust dis
elimination in freight rates, in that
rates on goods shipped from Eastern
points to Spokane are based on the
through rate from the East to the Pa.
ciic Coast plus the return rate from the
Coast to Spokane. The shippers of
this city contend that it is unjust to
charge more to haul goods to this city
than to. haul them through Spokane and
400 miles further to the Coast.

Severe Winter Weather Prevails

The weather conditions in this section
during the past week have been ex-
o~eptionally severe. Snow has fallen
every day but one, the Thermometer
has remained at a low point. aud there
has been an almost continuous blizzard
in progress. There has been but one
break In the storm. This occurred
Tuesday afternoon when the wind went
down and the sun came out for a few
hours. Reports from Hamilton show
the conditions in that region to be
somewhat worse than they are here.
The stages are encountering extreme
difficulties in making their trips by
way of Hamilton from the Six Mile

be of extraordinary depth, and a number
of instances have been reported In

presented in the Senate. through Vice
President Fairbanks. q protest against
the intended election Of Guggenheim

mittee on Privileges aud Elections.
Mr.. Lawrence charges that Guggen-
helm had by large expenditure of
money succeeded in procuring the cleo
ton of a sufficient number of members
Of the Colorado Legislature to insure
his election to the Senate. He quotes
from recent newspaper articles to show
that Guggenheim has obtained his ex-
pected election ~corruptly. aud prays the
Senate to take steps to prevent such
corrupt proceeding, and in cas- of his
election to prevent him from taking
his seat in the United States Senate
upon any credentials he may present.

seating Of Guggenheim Is said to be the

EUREKA SCHOOL NOTES
Valentine Social Dance to Be
Given at the Opera House
on February IA

School Is moving along smoothly,
with very good indications that the
brief vacation vas valuable as q period
of rest for both pupils and teachers.
The attendance is not as good as it
should be. Parents should see to it that
the children are in school every day.
Back work cannot be made up. and a
few days absence will put a pupil SO far
behind that it may mean an extra year
in a grade. As a general rule the bsst
students are the most regular in atten-
dance at school, while those who can
least afford to miss any time are out
from one to three days each week.
Teachers cannot be held responsible for
the failures in such cases. Pupils who
are not regular in attendance at school
will not be likely to be regular in the
work of after life.
Miss Whitmore gave q very interest
ing account of the work done at the
Institute held at Reno. at the teachers
meeting q week ago Friday. Several
of the topics were discussed at lergth
by the teachers here. Some Of them
will be taken up for further study.
At the meeting last Friday it was
finally decided to carry into effect the
plan proposed before the holidays. to
give a valentine social and dance on
Thursday evening. Feb. IA. Valentines
will be put on sale by the school within
a few days. and every effort will be
mads to raise enough money to finish
paying for the new piano, which has
been on the road since Dec. 4. All but
one of the Eureka merchants have given
up their sales Of valentines this year
for the benefit of the school. and have
siguifed their willingness and good
will by offering to assist us in every
way possible. Their kindly assistance
is greatly appreciated.
1t has been decided to have q regular
display Of the valentines IN sale two or
three days. and to make a thorough
canvass in connection with the sale.
We will offer an exceptionally iue line
of goods at moderate prices, aud hope
for a liberal patronage.

A
Sheriff ~Sweeney's Explanation of
Recent Justice Court Verdict

Sheriff Sweeney's Explanation OF
Recent Justice Court Verdict
Editor SENTINEL:
In your issue Of the 18th instant there
was an article relating to the case Of
Sweeney versus Eureka County which.
in justice to myself, I believe should be
q little more fully explained.
A person reading the article mention
ed might conclude that I had sued Eu-
reka County for s264.50 and that the jury
after hearing the case had decided that I
was not entitled to the full amount aud
had cut the bill down TO $3.50. 30 and
had rendered o verdict for that amount.
Such conclusion would be wrong.
IL is true that when suit was en-
tered il was for 1894 so. and il was not
until after the case was before the
court that q clerical error in the addi-
ton Of the bill was discovered, an error
of s34 80. which would make the
amount due me $3.50 20.
When on the witness stand / ex-
planned that an error of s34 30 had been
made in adding mp the bills and that
all I was suing for was $3.50. 20, and the
jury rendered . verdict for me in the
full amount claimed and all costs Of
suit.
Knowing as / do the desire of the
SENTINEL to publish all matters COR
rectly, 1 write this correction in the
firm belief that you will publish 1t in
your next issue.
Respectfully yours.

BATTLES RUBY HILL TRAINS
Plow and Shovelers Unable to Clear
Snow From Railway Cuts

The trainmen Of the Z. & p. Railway
have been encountering great difficulty
in making their trips from Eureka to
Ruby Hill during the past month, and
this week have been wholly unable to
get through. Men who were employed
shoveling snow were receiving 81. so per
day. but owing to the severity OF the
weather they asked for a raiss to %,
which was refused and the men quit
work. A special train brought a crew,
mostly made up Of men from the shops
at Palisade. Tuesday night. but they
have been unable to clear the way
through the cuts for the train to get to
Ruby Hill.
A certain part Of this road is especially
difficult to keep clear. The old road
was protected at this point by snow
sheds, bat since the new road has been
built these have not been replaced. Two
engines driving a snow plow got stuck
in the drifts at this point Thursday
morning. In attempting to hack out a
drawhead was broken and the front
engine and pillow were abandoned after
several hours Of vigorous endeavors on
the part Of eight men with shovels to
clear the way. The wind blew in the
snow faster than they could dispose Of
1t. A great deal Of trouble is anticipated
by the railroad company in keeping the
road open during the Winter.
Friday morning the Richmond. Eu-
reka Company closed down the mines
and started every available man to
shoveling out the imprisoned engine
and the cuts that bad been filed with
the drifting snow. The engine was
released about 3 p. m.
