MORE GOLDFIELD TROUBLE
County and City Government at War
Conditions a Disgrace

Goldfeld, Nevada, May 25 The ex-
ecutive branches OF the county and
city government are at loggerheads,
aud as a result all of the deputy con-
stables have resigned. The condition
OF the jail-filled with vermin-and
its inmates is a disgrace to civilization,
aud as usual nobody is responsible.

authority over all criminal matters in
the city, and the townsite of Goldfield
in particular. and disclaims respon.
sibility for the conditions.
The County Commissioners sag they
are unable to move in the matter, but

Southern Pacific's Reply

The Southern Pacific Company has
filed answers in the United States Dis
trict Court at San Francisco to 81 suits
recently brought against it by the Gov
ernment. In these suits the railway
company is charged with having vio-
lated the law. which provides that
cattle being transported on trains shall
be unloaded, watered aud fed every 28
hours. The company. in answer to the
allegations, asserts that the owners OF
the cattle gave permission to keep the
cattle confined ON the journey from
Oregon and Nevada to San Francisco.
1t is stated, in addition. that there was
no feeding and watering place along the
route.

Clark Road Fined $1,000

Confessing guilt on a charge of ship
ping cattle through Nevada without
regard for the Interstate Commerce
laws, the San Pedro, Salt Lake g. Los
Angeles Railroad was fined $1,000 in the
United States Court at Carson City last
week. Five hundred dollars was the
ine on each of two counts. Federal
Attorney Platt prosecuted the cases
against the Clark line. They were
started at the suggestion of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. Evil
ience was procured to show that the
San Pedro road shipped cattle over the
route from Salt Lake to Los Angeles
and did not make the required number
of stops for water and rest. The plea
Of inability to observe the law because
of the congested traffic was not con.
sidered favorably to the railroad by the
Federal court.

TRANSPORTATION
COMMODITY

A new principle probably will find
acceptance in the newer philosophy of
Interstate and Intrastate commerce-the
sale OF passenger transportation exactly
like potatoes are sold, as a commodity
conveying absolute title. transferable at
the option OF the buyer. lt is rapidly
becoming the common belief among
Government officials who have TO do
with these matters that the plan in
vogue on the New York Central line
must be universally adopted by all rail-
roads. The plan is:
One may 60 to any New York Central
ticket office and buy mileage book at
two cents fat mile. A 500 book
costs $40; a lO00.mile book $40. This
book may be used by man and his
wife, or the buyer may take with him
any one he pleases to take whether or
not a member of his family.
Again if he be temporarily in the
State or on the Central lines and when
reanN 10 ledNe tuut ItEAoh hS Jus "A eH-
used part OF these books. he may dis
pose of it to any one else without vioiat-
ing the rules of the company. There
are no restrictions as to who shall use 1t.
on the New York Central branch
lines the rate is 2ls cents to cents
mile, if ordinary tickets be bought, but
these 2 cent mile books are good on
any part Of the system.
This rule is on the theory that the
purchase of passenger transportation Is
not merely personal contract limited
60 being carried out only as to the
original buyer. but that rather 1T Is the
purchase Of commodity much as the
purchase of sack of potatoes with the
feature of contract to give safe car
riage 10 the holder of the ticket. The
commodity is to be consumed IN
quantities aud manner to suit the wisL
of the original buyer.
