veloped, when Judge John E. Raker moved
that 1t be the sense of the gathering that
all duties on timber be repealed; that the
timber of this country be preserved to the
largest extent possible by allowing other
countries to ship their lumber in
Keisel of Utah interrupted by seeking
to ask Pinchot a question under the ten
minute rule providing for such matters.
Delegate White Smith of Inyo county,
Cal, at once was on his feet with second
to the motion of Judge Raker. There were
at once objections that under the adoption
of motion early in the session such mo-.
tions were sent direct to the committee
on resolutions.
Congressman j. H. Smith of Utah, act
ing as temporary chairman in the absence
of Governor Chamberlain, ruled accord
ingly and declared Mr.. Smith, who con-
tinued to speak, out of order
There was considerable confusion, but
Smith finally took his seat. Keisel then
asked Pinchot what is being done by the
forestry service. The reply was that the
service cannot plant sufficient trees tc
keep up with the consumption, but thai
as fast as congress appropriated funds
irrigation and other water sheds are being
protected.
pinchot Questioned
In view of the fact that Pinchot as
serted that within thirty years the timber
supply of the country would be exhausted
without steps being taken for protection
John Fairweather of Fresno asked the
chief forester If he Is in favor of ad-
mitting lumber free into this country.
Pinchot replied that he had always
deemed it wise to decline to take public
position on the matter, because If the
forest service had declared In favor 1t
would have the united opposition instead
of the united support of the lumber in
terest that control four-fifths of the tim
Der of the country and upon whose care of
it's own resources depends the mitigation
of the timber famine. While Pinchot de-
clined to take any but neutral public
stand he stated that If he (Fairweather)
would meet him behind the barn he
would tell him what he thinks on the
subject.
w. A. Williams of Oregon caused much
merriment with an address. His oratory
was like the flow of river and his word
pictures delighted the thousands of men
and women who listened to him.
Two resolutions introduced by Matthew
Dougherty of Utah and w. A. McAllister
were read and referred to the committee.
Dougherty's resolution provides for the
leasing of irrigable lands, while McAllis-
ters looked to the direction and regula-
tion of emigration toward irrigable lands.

RAISED THE PRICE.

The Western Union Telegraph Co.
is again getting itself before the pub
lie. They have raised the price OF
delivering the stock quotations OF the
San Francisco board fifty per cent.
and will not deliver any OF the QUOTA
tions unless the whole board is taken,
The result of the order was that only
ore Reno firm received quotations
there Saturday and they got theirs
through an agreement for the delivery
of certain quotations by the telegraph
company which was made some time
ago. Whenever anything happens
that will handicap the people and the
stock market goes to pieces you can
always depend on the Western Unior
to come to the front with some kline
OF skin game and force the people
TO give up what little they have lef
out of the wreck.

ESCAPES
CAPTURED
Fina and McCauley Are
Now in Dungeon at

Tom Fina and Frank McCauiey, tne
Two TRUSTEES who escaped from the
prison a few days ago were recaNjr,-
ed at Virginia City Saturday n 5-ilt
at about 8 O'Clock by officers OF lhat
city. They had been seen the day
previous at the Nevada Brewery wher
thev had gone to purchase supplies.
A search was made for them but
without result. Saturday night they
visited the place again and the officers
were notified. Owing to a light fall
of snow they were easily tracked
to an ola tunnel near the rifle range.
The officers entered the tunnel and
after proc eding about one hundred
feet came upon them. Neither were
armed. although McCauiey had a
knife in his hand with which he had
been preparing their evening meal.
He dropped the weapon when he
faced six-shooter in the hand OF
the officers and both men surrendered
cd They were aiken to the Virginia
jail.
1t is the opinion OF the Virginia
officers that they were receiving alt
from outsiders. They had discarded
their convict clothes and were dressed
in cothes evidently belonging 10

They were returned to the priso
in this city yesterday morning and

COMMISSION
REDUCES
Passenger RatSS on
Local Road About 25
Per Cdnt

After a busy session of the Railroad
last Saturday the board
adjourned lac in the afternoon and
before adjournment made the first re-
duction in rates on any of the rail-
roads Of the state.
The Virginia & Trilckee passenger
rate was the one under discussion
and a reduction of from 20 to 25 per
cent was made. Mr.. Terington.
Superintendent of the road, appeared
before the Commission and explained
the present conditions on the local
road, explaining the cost Of transpor-
tation and general expense connected
with the road His statements were
to the point and all he asked at the
hands of the Commission was fair
treatment. and further stated that he
was wiling TO abide by their decision.
Following are the changes in the
rates adopted and will become effect
i've on the first day of December.
The single trip rate from Reno to
Carson was reduced from 81 to S1.l3.
and the round trip from So to $3.50.
The single trip from Reno to Min
den. now S325. will be cut to s2.75,
and the round trip rate from s. to
Si25.
The present rate from Carson City
to Minden of sl25 for the single trip
has been changed TO 81, and for the
round trip of So. to s1.15.
No change was made in the rates
from Virginia City. because of the eX-
cessive cost of operation from Carson
to that point. owing to the steep
grades and numerous curves. The
scantiness of the traffic from that
} point was also a factor taken into
consideration 1t was agreed, how
; ever. that if any change should occur
in that section to cause great in
: crease in traffic. the matter of reduc-
} ton would be favorably considered.
5 The reduction made will mean a
saving of S1S,25O to the travelling pub
lie. this being figured on basis OF
the travel over the road for the past
year. >
The Commission will now take up
: the reduction of fares Of the Tono
k pah and Goldfield. railroad and the
. Southern Pacific Companys lines
: these roads having been given notice
to have their passenger agents OF
some other official of the road appear
7, before the Commission to show cause
: why the rates at present in effect
should not be reduced.
