WE ARE PROUD.

To our readers about Manila we
will say that we feel proud of the
showing of local news we are able to
give them from week to week. The
citizens of the prosperous little city
are very good about giving to our
representatives the news and so the
Manila page is getting to be one of
the very best in the paper.
ROOF BLOWN OFF FREIGHT CAR.
No resident of this part of Iowa
need to be told that a terrific wind
swept fromthe southwest all day Sun
day. Stories of what was done by
the force of the wind are coming in.
Some of them pretty big to be believ-
ed without proof. The proof however
that the wind blew off the roof of a
freight car between Manila and Buck
Grove can be seen on the north side
of the track where lays the roof. 1t
was the cover for tall furniture car
and the wind must have caught it just
right as the car came around one OF
the sharp curves.

MADE A CHASTITY FIND
Some Boys Near Irwin Find Sack
Full of Bon es.

News which has caused much ex-.
citement in the vicinity of Irwin
came to Manila Monday morning. 1t.
would appear that on the land of
farmer named j. H. Esher not far
from Irwin there is a creek bed
through which the water does n ct
now run because of change in the
drainage of the land made by the
property owners. On Sunday two
boys digging in the sand came upon
sack filled with bones. These have
been identified as belonging to a
human being. There was a stone as
sinker in the sack. The people
about do not know of anyone in re-
cent years disappearing from that
locality and so there is no clew to the
mystery of the find made by the boys.

Railroad Wins Suit.

Judge Curler Saturday in Reno
rendered decision in favor of the
railroad company in the suit
brought by the Southern Pacific
Railroad company against j. Aaron
Ingalls, to oust him from mining
lands in Olinghouse. ingalls, To-
Gated mine of immense value on
land patented by the government
and passed thereby to the railroad.
A clause in the patent reserves the
mineral right to those who might
subsequently locate mining claims
upon the property. Ingalls, owns
one or more of these minera
claims. upon which he has done
considerable development work.
The work thus done amply proved
the immense value of the ore de-
posits on the land decided by pat
ent to the railroad, and the latter
began suit fer ejectment, claiming
that reservations of the character
mentioned in the patent were null
and void, and that hence no one
had right to operate on such
land.

Trying Out
I6-HOur Law.
Test of the Proposed Measure
is Being Made by the
Short Line.

The chief topic of interest in
railroad circles just now is the test
which il being made of the pro-
posed sixteen-hour rest law. The
law is not,yet- in operation, but
will come before Congress on the
10th of this month and the belief
is general that it will pass.
In brief, the proposed law limits
the hours of continuous service of
railroad employees to sixteen and
provides as follows:
Every violation of this law
subjects both the company
and the individual official,
who permits any employe to
work more than sixteen hours
or to resume work without
taking for himself ten hoars'
rest, to fine of 81 600"
To test the working of the law
OF order was put into practical eff
feet on the Salt Lake division of
the Short Line and the direct re-
suit was that freight traffic was
nearly to a standstill.
Officials in the operating de-
partment of the Western roads,
and many of the trainmen, are of
the opinion that the measure is
impracticable on single track
roads, and where the traffic is as
heavy as it is on the Hartman
lines. Crews, power and cabooses
have to be turned many times in
order to balance conditions, and it
is generally in this necessity that
crews are called on to double back,
even after they have been on the
road for a period of hours. To
abolish this privilege and to i'm
pose n penalty on the dispatchers
enforcing it, would paralyze ali
Western traffic, say the officials,
and would block the entire system

Reliance on the
Road to Sue
G e s S
HIGH-GRADE COPPER
ORE BEING DE-
VELOPED.
Company Has Added Equip
ment and VIII Begin
Sc arc h in g at
Dept h s.

Hiram Tyree, the principal
stakeholder in and manager of the
Reliance Mining and Milling CON-
pany, operating several properties
of great merit in the Bullion dis
trict of Lander county, New, has
returned to his Office in this city
from the mines greatly pleased
with the recent developments upon
the properties under his charge.
The Reliance company has done
considerable shipping of high
grade ores in the past, and more
could be sent in at this time were
the officials to pay as much atten-
tion to stopping as to development.
All the ore, however, that has
found the market, and will find it
during the coming months, has
been the product of pure develop
ment work, and a tonnage valued
at $l50,000 not has been opened by
the management's efforts.
This ore is mainly copper, and
extremely high-grade at that. The
gold and silver contents, however,
are not inconsiderable, sufficient
in fact to pay the freight and trent
ment charges. The red metal
values, stated Mr.. Tyree Thursday,
will run anywhere from 5 to 35
per cent and there are liable tom
nages of it in sight. The sulphide
zone has been reached at depth
of only 200 feet, and the ores are
extremely fine in appearance. The
company has just placed an order
for a gasoline hoisting engine, and
upon its installation a campaign
of deep development work will be
started. A force of fifteen men is
employed at this time, and the
process of opening the mine is un-
der the immediate supervision of
j. G. Tyree, mining man Of long
experience and recognized ability.
In the same district, and not far
removed from the Reliance ground
Mr. Tyree and associates have
seventeen additional claims upon
which they are now doing con
siderable exploration. The prop
critics are located in finely miner
allied portion of the camp, and a
three-foot ledge is being followed
by q tnnnel at this time. The gen.
eral situation in the Bullion sec
ton is most encouraging, states
Mr.. Tyree, there being some ex-
tremely strong men coming in and
acquiring interests from Colorado
and Utah.-Salt Lake Tribune.

Druggists Are AT
fected.

Commissioners of the Internal
Revenue Department have issued
an order prohibiting druggists,
whose stock holds liquors, from
selling denaturized alcohol. The
sale of denaturized alcohol is pro-
hibited on premises where distilled
spirits are retailed or, wholesaled.
As nearly all druggists carry dis
titled spirits in stock they are af-
fected by the order. Druggists
have held that they can sell denat-
urized alcohol under the law, hence
the translation passed down from
the commissioners comes as sur
prise.

Electrical Trains
for S. p,

It is stated in Reno that the
Southern Pacific Company is plan
ming to reconstruct It's line from
Reno to Carlin distance of about
300 miles, and run electric trains
between the two places, instead of
steam locomotives.
It is the intention of the Com
pauy to install the most modern
electric engines and to greatly in
crease speed schedule from Sparks
to Carlin.
Engineer Barclay, who h las
charge of the Southern Pacific
construction work in Nevada, was
in town a few days ago and it is
stated that he was here for the
purpose of estimating the cost of
the electric project.
1t is reported in railroad circles
that the electric trains and engines
would be able to travel at a speed
of nearly loo miles per hour across
the Nevada desert. The Railroad
Company will obtain its power
from the Truckee River General
Electric Company, which operate
four power plants along the bank
of the Truckee River between Reno

Objects to Change of Capital.

Augusta, Me.-The question OF re-
moving the seat Of the state govern
ment from this city to Portland was
given hearing by the legislative COM
mittee on public buildings and grounds
at the state house recently. No ac-
ton was taken by the committee, the
hearing being continued to Feb. IL,
after a few supporters of the move
ment had been heard.
The case of those who favor the re-
moval to Portland was conducted by
Mayor Clifford, Joseph B. Reed, Chas.
N. II. Randall, j. Putnam Stevens and
Frank B. Milliken of Portland, Nath-
aniel II. Jones of Lincoln and Repre-
sentative Luther p. Moore of Saco.
They argued that hotel accommoda-
tions In Augusta are inadequate and
that the rates are excessive, while in
Portland there would be ample accom-
modations for the Legislators at a rea-
sonable expense.
Leslie C. Cornish of Augusta, who
appeared for those opposed to the re-
moval asked for continuance on the
ground that the matter had not been
advertised sufficiently and that the peo-
pie of Augusta had not had time, os
yet, to prepare their arguments. Mil
ton M. Merrill of St. Adams and Henry
Hudson Of Guilford also favored con-
tinuance.
Those who favored the removal plan
opposed a continuance of the hearing
After an executive session of more than
an hour the committee decided to con-
tinue the hearing until Feb. 13 at 2
p. m.
In the senate bill has been intro
duced by Senator Merrill Of Portland
granting the city of Portland author
ity to raise $5O0,O0O to be turned over
to the state treasurer toward the pur-
chase of site for construction Of a
state house in case the seat of gov
ernment is removed to that city.
